any news of bronze users exchanging to black due to keyboard light issue?

[dacookie]

I haven't had any problems with this at all. I noticed it once, but it didn't bother me. UNTIL NOW. you guys made me really paranoid about my keyboard now. thanks alot. im keeping my bronze tho. the color is too sweet to exchange for black.

Do you guys think T-Mobile is really sold out of the Bronze G1's or they are just saving themselves from the keyboard issue?

Probably sold out. The black is the high volume color.

I would like to know how they Sold Out of the Bronze, which had sooooo many problems...

But still have the Black in stock, I'm so confused

They surely took the Bronze off the website quick!

What do you mean "Soooo many problems". The only issue ive read about is the keyboard lighting.

LOL, I think I got the last bronze. Got my shipment confirmation Wednesday and immediately after got an email saying they are out of stock and would I like to get a black one instead.

Well, I'm holding my bronze now and have been playing with it for almost 24hrs. I see where folks are complaining. The keys are difficult to see under some specific lighting conditions.

That being said, I don't think it's a big deal. It just depends on your personality. IMO the attractiveness of the bronze color outweighs the keyboard backlight issue.

Your mileage may vary...

True!

But so many have been returned for that reason, Now they're telling me I won't recieve the phone I ordered on OCT 4th...

Until NOV 24th, the CSR said both the Black & Bronze are on back order/out of stock

I ordered the G1 from tmobile customer support. I first recieved a defective phone, bronze was the color. It could not, and would not read any sim card due to the pins literaly pushed all the way up. THe sent me a second one that took a week turn around! I opend up the second package so happy to mess with my new toy- THE SAME PROBLEM!!! I told customer support to screww off, and asked them how do quality come from this? How hard is it to turn on a phone b4 it is shipped? I visited a retail store and did my contract there, and got a working bronze phone! wooho! It was a headache I must admit, but it was worth it. I have a 3g iphone, and prefer my G1 over it anyday! THE keyboard lighting SUCKS!! I am sure some sort of fix will come out??

Really? I placed an order through Customer Care on November 3rd and was told I'd receive it on the 10th. I have been calling everyday since then to check up on the status, because I haven't gotten any shipping info.. until about an hour ago when I checked my reference number again and got info that it was shipped on the 7th through 3 day express.

All the reps kept telling me orders placed before the 5th of NOV would receive their phones on the 10th. You should call and complain. I would not take that crap.

My first date for arrival was Nov 10th for the Bronze...

Could you let me know what color you ordered and if UPS showed up on Monday!?

Thanks!
