Returned My G1 But...

[crispyone]

As the title says, I am returning my G1 because mine had a defect where it would continually freeze every 5 or so minutes. T-Mobile is sending me a new G1 which hopefully does not freeze like the previous one. It will probably arrive next week.

Now the questions:

1) If you missed the OTA update, will it repeat again after the 26th?

2) When you preordered your G1, what did the text that came afterward say?

3) After you got your G1, did you receive another text giving you a delivery report which came from 453?

From T-Mobile Forums:

What does this update do? This update will include enhancements (I don't know what is termed an "enhancement" and one bug fix that is visible to customers which makes all songs from Amazon available for listening
Why do I need it? So your device will perform better long term and you don't have to worry about corrupt files from Amazon.
When will I get mine? If you participated in the PreSale, you will receive it between the 23rd-25th otherwise you should get it by 10/31. For those receiving their devices after that date you should receive the update soon after you activate the phone (within 2 - 3 days). New phones from HTC will come pre-loaded with the update.
What if I don't get mine? Just wait for it, it will come.
What do I do when I haven't gotten mine by the time you said I'd get mine? Wait a little longer
Seriously, I didn't get mine. Where is it and when will I get it? Why am I missing out? Check your software version, you probably had the new software all along and were waiting for nothing.
How do I check my software version? From the main screen hit Menu > Settings > About phone > Build number. Look for where it says RC## The initial release is RC19. The Updated release is RC28
Will I lose any applications or settings? Nope. Your settings and apps should be preserved.

My text said my order was complete. the price, and that it would appear on my next bill after I received the phone.

No other texts for delivery. Just started checking UPS tracking with my phone number (with dashes) as the reference tracking number (go to Track BY REFERENCE"

I received a text this morning that was named 453 delivery report. That said delivered, 10/23/2008, and 7:01:35 AM.

Is this confirming that my previous G1 was delivered or that my new G1 is being delivered?
