T-Mobile has finally released their new update (RC29) to the public. This version apparently has the Browser patch that was missing on the RC28 version which was sent out on Friday. It appears that not everyone has received this update yet.

Today we received this update early in the morning, however it was not in the form of a text message as everyone had been reporting. We simply opened the device and there was a notification telling you that a system update is available. It also notifies you that while the phone is updating you cannot make emergency calls for those of you planning one.
The update process is fairly quick, just select Update Now. The phone then proceeds to reset itself, upon rebooting you will see a screen with a box, arrow and a phone. Under this picture you see a loading bar that is present for the bulk of the update. After it is finished loading the update, you will see a chip and phone picture. After a few moments the phone will then reset itself one last time and you will experience the longest boot-up our G1 will ever have. We have not yet experienced any notable difference with this update. How many of you have already received this update?

I did not receive the update yet...I hope I get it soon???

Nope, nothing here yet. What are the specs on this build update RC29? Besides the web browsing security flaw. I never got the 28 so i suppose they put it all together with RC29 with the security fix.
-
i believe officially the patch is being rolled out in a staggered release all the way up til nov 12th or 14th or something, so don't expect it any time specific.

One difference i noted is when you plug your phone to your computer to transfer songs it now ask if you want to mount it to add files before it just did it automatically thats cool...

You'd also be calling network speeds garbage if they tried rolling OTAs to everyone at once.

Anyone know if you have to be on 3g or wifi to get it? by bizarro_stormy
I don't know why - could be for the reason the data trial period has come to an end. But yesterday when I called TMo, a representative "Monica" was of no help: she put me on a 5-min hold, and later just said that "it expires when it expires" so I guess I gotta use my intuitive abilities... Lm@o As for the update she was reading smth. - she couldn't even say it in her own words. Disappointed by mariakova

No update here in Chicago. So much for us EARLY adopters.
Bay area, CA by TcDriver
I have witnessed the phone picking up a 3G network on my way home from work, so maybe I will get an earlier update being near a 3G source? Who knows.
The phone is running great so there is no real dire need to have it now - but if it makes the phone more stable, improves battery or simply improves this device in anyway, color me impressed. by ndbigdave
But I do love this phone. I was a 12+ year palm user and it is the only thing I have ever had that met or exceeded the usability. by Jo the bookkeeper

Please let me know!
not much of a computer or electronic person so I'm not sure what the
Update was for or what changes were made to the phone! I hope
That there would be an update sent out soon to repair or make the
Aim on the phone better! Every I.M. app I get seems to kick me off

i got this update thursday nov. 20th and it was for RC-30? lmao by dannyKABOOM
I have a problem, I think. My Provider I use for my phone is Swisscom and not T-Mobile. Will I still get my update? Or do I have to update manually (I am just really afraid to brick my G1). And I don't know if this plays a roll, but I ordered my phone from Google Developer Site without a carrier or anything.
With friendly Regards,
