Who doesn’t want a free Android smartphone? To celebrate the launch of T-Mobile’s G1, we are going to give the new handset away to one of our community members during our Live Blog of T-Mobile’s Android announcement on September 23rd .

To be in with a chance of winning, you’ll need to be a registered user and logged into the forum during the live blog. (http://live.androidcommunity.com). Sound simple? The winner will be selected at random and announced via the Live Blog. A notification will be sent out to the registered email of the user account, making it very important that the email address listed in your profile is correct. The winner then has 5 minutes to post in this forum to claim their prize.

If the first winner doesn’t speak up within five minutes (based on the forum clock), we’ll pick another member at random and the process will start again. We’ll continue until we have a winner!

T&Cs: Android Community’s decision is final, no correspondence will be entered into and there is no cash alternative. Android handset is dependent on availability; winner may be responsible for charges,
subscriptions or taxes in connection with service. Competition limited to the US only. Prize includes cost of the T-Mobile G1 Device only. Does not include service or discounts, and you must be of legal age to sign relevant carrier contracts.

Winner agrees to participate in publicity on, but not limited to, Android Community, which could include name and photographic likeness. If you do not wish to take part in the competition, please send a message to Community Manager Shawn Brown with the text “T-Mobile G1 Competition OPT OUT.

    11. It will be chosen by numbers. All you have to do is be logged in here and watch the live blog for the announcement. Your name will be announced and an email sent to you (so double check that it is correct) and just post here within the time limit to claim the prize. Very simple, you just have to pay attention.    by refused9150

      Oh yeah they can handle the load. The brain behind them Ewdie has managed more work load on other live casts.

      We aren't trying to boost membership per say. We want to show our users that we mean business. We take care of the people who contribute to the community the best we can. Its not a popularity contest. We are going to stay #1 with everyone's help. I don't feel that users quite get how well the live blogs go and what we have to offer. We take care of our users and are ALWAYS on top of things. This site is nothing compared to what it will be. Just stick around as we grow.    by refused9150

      Well I will say this, even though I was just a lurker for months, I slowly found myself visiting this site way more than a few of the other android sites out there (we'll leave names out of this). The quality of the information on this site shows through loud and clear. Thanks for all the hard work!    by JimDog
    28. Thank you for the recognition. We have a lot of people behind the scenes giving it there all as well. If there is anything we can do to make the experience better for the user we are up for it.    by refused9150
    29. I hope your website can handle all those users including your live video blog.

      Anyway, I won't be able to attend the live event but that's a cool giveaway you have there.    by secrecyguy
    30. It will be able to handle it no problem. Its unfortunate you cant be here. But all the info will be here when you have the time.    by refused9150
    31. I am so ready for this    by NetCom
    32. Like others have said, I have been quietly lurking for quite some time, waiting until I have a nice Android based device in my hands before posting too much, but obviously this changed things! Love the idea, and now I have even more reasons to procrastinate at work tmw!    by zaggy
    33. It would be AMAZING if i could win it!!!

      BTW, is this gonna start at 10:30 ET? I read somewhere here Pacific??? Please i need clarification.    by Driguez

    37. Ok - can somebody confirm what is the time of the announcement?

      10:30EDT - Eastern Daytime ???

      I live in Chicago and do not want to miss this... I thought this is Eastern time not Pacific - wouldn't this be then marked as PDT if it was pacific time?

      Thanks a lot on clarification ...

    41. But I still do not know when is that in Chicago??? Is it 0930am or 1130am due to central daytime???

         by NetCom
    42. question: do you have to WATCH the live to be eligible or just be logged on the forums? Since i can only do one task is either be on the forums or the "live" with my crappy sidekick.    by grimgibber
    43. I've been lurking on the forums for 2-3 months and finally registered today. Definitely going to be keeping my fingers crossed for the free phone.    by SymptomsReagent
    44. Its both actually. You must be logged in to be chosen and you will receive an email so technically you can get away with not watching the blog. It just makes it a little harder. Say if your email had a delay, that would screw you.    by refused9150

      i know, i'm at work that time and i doubt i want to leave work just for a 3% chance of winning a brand spanking new phone

      i'll take my chances, i hardly win anything and my "luck" is at a all time low. That's why i suck at gambling hehe    by grimgibber

    55. I'll be there.    by ironmanrb2003
    56. My luck sucks. So... would you give me a G1 if I tell you a piece of information that I don't think has been reported anywhere and only if it is proven to be true later on? :P Fair trade, no? Hehehe! It has to do with the G1's chipset    by Stanovoy
    57. Wish I could man. But I would still like to know about the chipset.    by refused9150
    58. Oh yeah, and only if this piece of information is not made public tomorrow. See, I'm playing it fair!!    by Stanovoy
    59. Damn! I tried at least! Well, here goes: the G1 is using the Qualcomm 7201 multicore processor. It is dual core to be exact. However, the cores are not the same. The first core is allocated solely for phone features, i.e. a specialty core. The second core is a general purpose core purely for applications, in order to accommodate more application processing load. Of course, the clock speed will be the same for both. But simply by overclocking the G1 will not see a sharp increase in performance because of this. The 7201 is stable and more energy efficient. However, there are still some problems with the multicore setup that may cause the phone to crash under specific situations. Qualcomm is currently working around the clock fixing the drivers.

      There you go!    by Stanovoy

    62. Hehe. Sorry guys. I was the one who said Pacific. I was just joking around, as if I'd have you all show up 3 horus late, so I'd be the only one logged in. I thought the winky smiley at the end of the post was enough to say "just kidding".    by DesignDawg

    65. What a great prize! Another lurker/jill-come-lately, I'm totally hooked on the Android buzz!

      I wish I could join in for the live blog and try for the prize, but I've got an off-contract T-mo phone burning a hole in my purse and I can't wait to drop that Moto off at some recycle program and breathe the free air of Android.

      And I'm also replacing a palm lifedrive, so you really can't bet uglier than that duckling. To me that G1 is just fine!

      I can't wait to get out of this meeting and join everyone.    by insight spinner

      Precisely. The "Integrated ARM11 applications processor and ARM9 modem" is the Qualcomm 7201. The ARM11 and ARM9 operate on different architectures. So if an application uses the functionality of both, i.e. sms, mms, etc., that may cause a crash. However, crashing is VERY rare and only under VERY specific conditions. Thus far, it appears to be a driver issue. Last weekend, a number of Qualcomm engineers working on the 7201 worked late into the night on both days. Apparently, G1 will be the first device sporting the new 7201.    by Stanovoy

    99. I think doing a live video blog was a mistake. Most T-Mobile mobile users can't watch it, since we lack the 3G connection to watch the live video feed. We've awaited the G1 to finally have access, and I've registered only to find out the video is a stream! :-( I don't do desktop PC's, and wished mobile-centric websites would cater to mobilists. If my name is announced, someone please contact me SMS at +16822349847. I will reward the messenger if its me. I don't intend to keep this device long, only to review and compare to my familiarity with Symbian devices. I'm waiting on a higher end Android setup.    by christexaport
    100. My BlackJack is a POS, so I'd LOVE to win this one.    by peachymama
    101. NICE video feed up! It's like i'm there.. lol

      update: grab that front seat!    by MrAndroidson
    102. I hope all the hardcore mobilist here understand unless you're on your PC, you won't be able to view the live blog. It seems its streaming video, which won't do well on an EDGE connection. And 5 minutes without push email may leave you out in the cold if you win. This is slanted to favor desktop and broadband laptop users, and puts the mobilist at a disadvantage.

      People like me, an avid Symbian-Freak, don't use Windows computers, only Symbian and, hopefully, Android mobile computers. I mostly want this one for AWS 3G.

      Please, all those able to watch, notify me if I win!! Maybe I'll trade some goodies, or sell a used Nseries device well below cost...    by christexaport

      EDIT: Ohhh.. I get it now.. it is "streamed"', and then clip updates are posted to qik... ok    by willgillen
    113. Here you go, to clear up your question

      To be in with a chance of winning, you’ll need to be a registered user and logged into the forum during the live blog. (http://live.androidcommunity.com). Sound simple? The winner will be selected at random and announced via the Live Blog. A notification will be sent out to the registered email of the user account, making it very important that the email address listed in your profile is correct. The winner then has 5 minutes to post in this forum to claim their prize.

    114. I *think* the rules mean that we'll be notified both live and by email? I ask because periodically I have to turn the volume down and will cry for weeks if I miss it    by Jorsher
    115. This will def get alotta members to join.    by ritterrav
    116. You have to watch the live blog, which won't be possible without 3G! :-( The 5 minute email limit is bad. Most of us don't have PUSH email, either! My email refreshes every 15 minutes on my device. I'd hate if I won, but missed out because I'm a mobile user.

      Bad idea, Android Community...
      Maybe a 30 minute limit, but 5 is giving all the advantage to desktop users.

      Can anyone semi narrate this live announcement, please?    by christexaport
    117. The live feed has a test pattern and audio (music) now:

      It's a giveaway, is a bonus and not anything you can really call "bad"    by Jorsher
    120. ...yeah, sign up and instantly leave. This is a mobile site. Why use a desktop-centered contest venue for a mobile fan site!? Many hardcore mobilist don't dare touch a Windows or Mac PC.

      I think this wasn't very thought out.    by christexaport
    121. I hope I'm selected....big fan..and can't wait!    by sachin918
    122. This is the most fun, and nerdiest thing I've done in a while! I wanna go to a T-Mobile store after work and pick one up! I'm excited!    by daretogo
    123. i highly doubt it will be released today... if it were you know that employees would have been leaking the fact that the phones had arrived at their store!    by skaflyer
    124. As of yesterday, my local corporate 'Kiosk' had no clue about the phone. Or at least they are good at playing dumb.    by Buster

      Wow... That's disappointing. They are doing something nice like this and that's all you can say. If you don't like it then please leave. I'm watching at work--I could easily get called away. Perhaps I should complain that they should have done this after the normal workday.    by MrGibbage

      Well, I disagree. This forum's giveaway is designed to attract fans, and grow this community to the level of Symbian-Freak and PocketNow, two great mobilist sites. They've ignored the fact that most of their target audience are mobile, don't use desktops often, and lack 3G devices to view video. More people access the web from mobiles than desktops today. 3G is the 2nd most important reason people want this thing, and without it, you can forget winning. How will you hear or see the announcement??

      It would've been better to center the contest around the people most likely to frequent this forum, MOBILIST. Some PC kid without a call plan or 3G access is gonna win, or I will, and never know.    by christexaport
    129. 1) I was told by several employees that several phones will coming out in October and 3G network as well following the phones...

      2) If you I am the winner - here is what I will do... I will post new thread with capital letter stating - I am the winner - I am claiming the price thread and there you go

    152. is announcement about the winner being made on live.androidcommunity.com ?

      Or it is going to be part of the G1 website video?

      However - I am on both websites refreshing non stop hehehe    by NetCom
    153. they need to stop talkin and just show us the phone    by ShadowLeo
    154. via mobile, the live page says all information will be available AFTER the live presentation. :-( Great... I can just hear my name getting called and some dork with a Mac wins and sells it since he already has an iPhone. (silly Mac heads...)

      Have they announced a winner?? Yes or no? Anyone feel free to respond!    by christexaport

      I've got a week left before i'm locked into my iPhone... Decisions, decisions.    by Buster
    212. bzn8, this device is great, but not a competitor to the iPhone. The iPhone is merely a deluxe media player. The G1 is an actual computer, a multitasking mobile desktop platform capable of replacing your laptop. The iPhone runs applications in serial, not parallell multitasking, and could never be considered in the same class with smartphones. The iPhone is merely the best featurephone ever made, but nothing on any Nokia Eseries and Nseries devices from even 3 years ago.

      The G1 competes with the HTC Touch Pro, Nokia E71, and Blackberry Bold, all much more powerful than an iPhone.    by christexaport

    224. I've been watching it on that site all morning.    by McParty
    225. Buster, the G1 is an entry level device as far as smartphones go. I'm only interested to evaluate the OS's power. Nonetheless, the G1 is WAY more advanced than the iPhone, which could never hold a candle to a real smartphone. I'd be happy to explain.

      I'm not only a fan, but a contributor for www.symbian-freak.com, www.android-freak.com, and www.allaboutsymbian.com. I review and evaluate all the top devices available, and the iPhone, for all its beauty, is no G1. The OS is mounds more capable.

    321. Seriously, did they say it doesn't have GPS? I missed that if they did, and the word GPS is nowhere in the live blog. How will the google maps work without GPS? Doesn't make sense.    by MrGibbage

    326. What I want to confirm is this:

      If I have an unlimited family messaging plan, then all I would need is the $25 data plan for the G1, right?    by Sven
    327. i did. sorry to disappoint. i really never expected to win.    by bizarro_stormy
    328. its probably like the sidekick where they have a separate plan for that device alone -- you'd prolly have to drop the unlimited family messaging and add this plan    by bizarro_stormy
    329. Everybody check out this gallery on the HTC website. Doesn't look bad at all...

    331. No one said anything about GPS... not a single word    by NetCom
    332. i'm not positive how they'll work it -- i'm just assuming. I have the unlimited family plan as well and was wondering the same thing    by bizarro_stormy
    333. keep us posted on the preorder time!!! the sooner the better hahahahahahahahahahahahaha    by csmatana
    334. Yeah, I just checked the live blog at phandroid too and they didn't write a single word about GPS. The thing HAS to have GPS to do the google maps. It only makes sense. I'm not sure where the guys who wrote that here got that info.    by MrGibbage

      That's my understanding of it. Existing T-Mobile members just have the data plan to tack-on, as far as a service plan(s).    by Android4TW

    354. Congratulations, bizzaro_stormy! I'm itching to get my hands on one. I'd love to interview you for the Symbian-Freak.com site! I'm really interested in your initial opinions on this device.

      What is your current main device? Have you ever used a Nokia Nseries or other smartphone as a main device?

      Please contact me via email at christexaport@sbcglobal.net if you're willing to assist me. If you live in the Dallas-Fort Worth market, I'd also like to meet for some macro photos of the device.

      Let me know soon. Anyone that can get their hands on a G1 for that matter, contact me. I intend to equip my N-XT concept with Android if possible and fitting.

    363. YEah....WTF....299?

      What happened to 179$    by Jake99
    364. It's telling me $299 too. I tried both links posted here.    by MrGibbage
    365. you have got to be kidding me....is the 179$ price for someone who is like out of their contract or something???    by Jake99
    366. Yeah, it is on my tmobile page and shows as $399 minus $100 (instant rebate) = $299!    by adept777
    367. You will see $299 if you are not 11 months into a 1 year contract or 22 months into a 2 year contract. This means you are not eligible for a full dicount upgrade, but a partial discount upgrade. The $299 is discounted off of the retail price but not full discount.

      I hope that helps!    by j.d.mitchell.ie

      $299 - Partial upgrade during the presale (those who HAVE upgraded their phone in the last 12 months of their anniversary date)

      $179 - New customer pricing starting on Oct 22nd (2 year contract required)

      $399 - Retail pricing starting on Oct 22nd (if you cannot upgrade your handset or are not a customer)    by nikhil711
    395. My G1 is ordered.    by Grayslin
    396. My plan expires 01/17/09 so I guess I'm out of the market til then. 3 bills is a bit much to upgrade & extend for me.    by mactab
