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 checked phone's build # and it has RC19 on it???
I wonder if I can download it manually?

Anyone know if you have to be on 3g or wifi to get it?
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

No update here in Chicago. So much for us EARLY adopters.

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.
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.

not much of a computer or electronic person so I'm not sure what the

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
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,
