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.

  6. oh no, it won't be a black hole. It will be strangelets devouring you into a world of chaos
  7. good idea, can't wait

  10. will it work since i work at that time, what if i log on the forums on my cell phone? Stupid questions but wanna cover all bases
  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.

  13. i'm so in, ill stay logged in... not a problem
  14. We figured people would get hooked on this idea. Mean everyone is going to be on watching anyway. We take care of our users. This is only the first.
  15. I have 2 good reasons that I should win the G1.

    1. My birthday was on 9/11, so happy b-day to me.
    2. My birthday was on 9/11, so poopy b-day to me.

    nuff said.

  16. well i may as well plan on getting ZERO work done tommorrow
  17. i cant wait!!!!! this phone looks better with every new picture that shows up
  18. i hope the servers can handle that many people logged on at the same time, and all watching the live feed....
  19. Well, if they were trying to boost membership, it just worked. I've been reading the site for months; but now I'm a registered member
  20. Can we close registrations
  21. Will the winner be notified at the end, middle or start of the live blog? Curious...
  22. Here's the reason it should be me:

    The announcement was supposed to be on Sept 16th. My birthday. And then they delayed it a week, robbing me of my birthday present!

  23. i think registration should be closed
  24. Wow thats awesome

    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.

    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!
  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.
  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.
  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.
  31. I am so ready for this
  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!
  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.
  34. ahh, my first post as a registered member! I'm excited! =0)
  35. I am excited for you ha ha. Welcome to AC!

    if you're living in the pacific zone then it will be 10:30. Lucky me i'm mountain zone which is the same as pacific zone. but sucks i'll be at work so i'll try to log on with my sidekick and pray i'm lucky
  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 ...

    Oh god LOL.... Ok so 10:30 Eastern Time


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

  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.
  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.
  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.

    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
  48. Woot! Can't wait!!!
  49. For classification the event is at 10:30 AM EDT. Here is a map that shows the different time zones, and if it still is not clear at that point here is a site that gives specifics:
    http://www.timeanddate.com/worldcloc...0&sec=0&p1=224


  50. GO ARIZONA!!!! to heck with daylight saving times!
  51. Count me in Baby.... G1 here I come.
  52. btw
    will I have to change my data service in order to get the prize?!
  53. Thank You ... I apologize for spamming the thread with my posts about the time
    ...

    You see how desperate I am to get that G1
  54. This is so mine! MUAHAHAHA
  55. 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
  56. Wish I could man. But I would still like to know about the chipset.
  57. Oh yeah, and only if this piece of information is not made public tomorrow. See, I'm playing it fair!!
  58. 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!
  59. Don't think I can check back every 5 min, but I'll try to be there.

  61. 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".
  62. Dang...I'll be in class until noon tomorrow eastern. I'll definitely be browsing on the phone though, hoping to get an email and hoping I can post within 5 minutes.
  63. hmm, if I make my registered email address my phone number at tmomail.net will it work if I win so then I know when to post?
  64. 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.

    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.

    I hope I win, I know its gotta be bad luck that i JUST now registered for the forum today ):

    Haha, nice try
  88. Just 1.5 more hours...
  89. Looking forward to the drawing
  90. Pick me, please pick me.
  91. Really looking forward to the drawing..I've had my phone for over a year and that's a long time.
  92. T-minus 55 min and counting!!! Woo hoo!!
  93. I've had my phone for three years! For me to switch, it better be pretty good.

    The iPhone wasn't good enough for me, too pretty, too proprietary, no keyboard.

    An Android phone with the features of the Nokia N85 or N96, that would be almost _perfect_.
  94. Hi, guys. Late to the party. Exactly what must I do to be eligible and how do I win? Pretty late getting here. Not sure of all the rules, didn't wanna miss the drawing reading them.

    Something about "the first one to hack into Steve Jobs Yahoo! account" wins.
  97. 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.
  98. My BlackJack is a POS, so I'd LOVE to win this one.
  99. NICE video feed up! It's like i'm there.. lol

    update: grab that front seat!
  100. 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...
  101. My T-mobile Wing is way too slow. can't get anything done on it! we are ringing on the website????? OMG!
  102. there doesn't seem to be very many users of this forum which should give pretty good odds to winning a G1... SWEET!!!
  103. it's making my ears hurt!
  104. Woot! Woot! It is almost go time!
  105. What a great way to start the day at work...the chance to win the G1!!
  106. Watching the stream now, looks good....from my PC.
  107. So you just have to be logged in to the forum, you don't have to be part of any specific thread correct?
    To win the Android!!!
  108. Everyone get on the qik site for live chat

    http://qik.com/android
  109. how is that stream considered live? i have watched the same clip 3 times over now?!
  110. what happened to the stream? it started over on my PC?

    EDIT: Ohhh.. I get it now.. it is "streamed"', and then clip updates are posted to qik... ok
  111. 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.
  112. 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
  113. This will def get alotta members to join.
  114. 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?
  115. The live feed has a test pattern and audio (music) now:

    http://announcement.t-mobileg1.com/
  116. Steam works great from Ubuntu too.. (I'm a PC and I run Linux)

    It's a giveaway, is a bonus and not anything you can really call "bad"
  118. ...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.
  119. I hope I'm selected....big fan..and can't wait!
  120. 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!
  121. 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!
  122. As of yesterday, my local corporate 'Kiosk' had no clue about the phone. Or at least they are good at playing dumb.

    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.
  124. In this forum, where exactly, in which topic?
  125. THIS IS SOOOO WRONG! they are just TOYING with us!

    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.
  127. 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
    they just want to you to prove you are present and logged into the forum
  128. i refused to get called away from my desk... i'm "SUPER" busy right now! = ]
  129. I want one... Now!
  130. nice one... i feel lucky!
  131. looking forward...
  132. hey guys new member.
    really excited about this phone and android
  133. yeah! the wait is over!
  134. What are they saying on the live deal?? Anyone care to share? Have they announced a winner?
  135. cant wait i been waiting for this for weeks
  136. No winner just yet! Stay tuned.
  137. good luck everyone!
  138. I'm here! I'm here!
  139. Have I won yet?
  140. Beuhler...Beuhler...Beuhler...Beuhler... Anyone home?? What're they saying?

    This is such a bad idea for mobilists... You can't build so much suspense and then lock the target audience out.
  141. i want it i want it
  142. Wow! What a stunning phone to own!
  143. I'm in! I hope that I win
  144. I want to yell so loud in the office right now I'm excited and every ping I hear from ms outlook makes me jump to my email...UGH
  145. Unveil this thing....lets go!!! WOOT!
  146. when is the winner going to be announced?
  147. None of these guys is a polished PR guy. It's giving the conference a very genuine feel.
  148. 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
  149. they need to stop talkin and just show us the phone
  150. 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!
  151. Lets see this thing....IPHONE KILLER!!!!

  152. Can't watch the blog thing - so am hoping that someone here will let me know when I win!
  153. How long is the conference supposed to be? LOL
  154. press conference and Q&A until 11:15 based on the agenda
  155. My live stream on 8MB broadband is constantly stalling every few seconds. This guy is not being picked up proper. Can anyone make out what he is saying? Will not leave it until I see it! :-)
  156. Lol, a guy taking pictures with his iPhone.

  176. its not like i'm not gonna buy it if i don't win it for free(like most people in here) -- so its not a huge deal that i win it

    I've got a week left before i'm locked into my iPhone... Decisions, decisions.
  199. 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.
  200. g1 here i come
  201. this is the right place right
  202. Maybe somebody should ask about video recording during the Q&A. I cant believe G1 wont have a video camera....
  203. g1 is looking good
  204. When it will be in europe?
  205. Europe - UK november 08 - the rest of the countries beginning of 2009
  206. How is look like side kick or much better
  207. early 2009 in europe
  208. same is applicable to me also....... :-p
  209. Has a winner been announced? I keep checking my e-mail!
  210. I've been watching it on that site all morning.
  211. 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.

    Ditch the simple iPhone and go Symbian or Android.
  212. I want GOOGLE PHONE
  213. No A2DP? Hmmmm Thats kind of disappointing.
  214. I wanna win this anyhow.

    Come on ppl.
  215. "Google Founders Sergey & Brin are also here today..."

    LOL

    Granted, it must be real tough to keep listening and updating that often, so props to Vincent for that.
  216. Any winners so far?
  217. Quote:
    11:10 am Vincent Nguyen: Google Founders Sergey & Brin are also here today

    look at his big ol grin , lol
  218. Hey, I just got an e-mail from an Attorney in Nigeria, does that mean I won?? LOL
  219. HAHAHA.....you have won a Nigerian G1!
  220. ROFL!! Not sure I want one of those! LOL
  221. You might want it....it comes with 1billion dollars of a Nigerian Prince's inheritance!
  222. and.......scene!
  223. What did they mean by no tethering? Does that mean it is not implemented, or that it physically can't do it??
  224. where are the specs smh
  225. No tethered modem?

    I want this phone too, but they've hyped it like the second coming, so every limitation is going to sound like a deal-breaker. I love Google, HTC makes some fabulous stuff, and T-Mo--I've got to hand it to them for embracing open source.
  226. I agree the live feed is great but I have the live blog going so I get the details and won't bother coworkers
  227. Sooooooo....any announcements on the winner??
  228. When does the T-mobile preorder begin??
  229. Quite an abrupt end!!!!!!
  230. Damn. I belong to the other countries. Does it have same system like iphone- def service providor?
  231. tick tock tick tock
  232. $179...pretty fair
  233. Oh crap i think the site logged me off for a while...I hope that doesnt affect me!!!!!!!!
  234. When will they announce the winner?
  235. Eh? It's over? Where's my email saying I won then?

    "When somethings not right it's wrong"
  236. And now we wait!! But I'm home sick today anyway! LOL
  237. I hope the winning won't claim his prize!! :P

  243. The clocks runnin'...

  276. Is SMS texting includes with the $25 or $35 data plan?
  277. is there a second chance?
  278. Yeah yeah - well done mate. But with no GPS - you're welcome to it. How did they manage to forget GPS? The eejits.
  279. congrats stormy
  280. congrats to BS anyway!
  281. yeah, it's included... if i remember. 400 msgs for the 25 and unlimited for the 35?
  282. ill give ya $179 for it
  283. $179 is really an amazing price, no? It's cheap, it's versatile, and it's Google... I just hope multitouch, tethering, and A2DP are not hardware limitations... well, at least not tethering. I really wanted to use it as a modem considering the 3G speed
  284. when are they going to announce the winner in the forum??
  285. Man is there a runner up? A free app or something?
  286. so does anyone have an idea when they are goign to have the preorder? anytime soon?

  288. Did they provide the URL for t-mobile customers to pre-order? They said they would, but I didn't catch it. If someone else did, could you share please?

    Thanks!
  289. if only i had a catchy name like stormy or thundery. LOL

    but super congrats Bizzaro_Stormy!

    I'm Regular Stormy!
  292. Does anyone else keep pressing the be the 1st button?
  293. When did they say no GPS? I thought they just said during the demo that it has GPS. Did I miss the "no" in front of it??
  294. I been clicking the get it first button since the video feed was over
  295. Preorder isn't working yet; supposed to be up "shortly" after press conference

    http://announcement.t-mobileg1.com/#
  296. Bizarro...Bizarro -- I'm helping
  297. 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.

  301. 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?
  302. i did. sorry to disappoint. i really never expected to win.
  303. 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
  304. Everybody check out this gallery on the HTC website. Doesn't look bad at all...

    http://www.htc.com/us/product_galler...?FolderID=5790
  305. Grats to you bizarro_stormy!

    I'll get mine soon enough. (I lie! I want one NOW! LOL!)
  306. No one said anything about GPS... not a single word
  307. 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
  308. keep us posted on the preorder time!!! the sooner the better hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
  309. 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.

    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).
  311. When can we click on the tabs?????
  312. How the compass will work - how the phone will know at what position you are located to start the streetview - triangulation? I do not think so - well, maybe if you select where you are yourself - than it goes from there...

    I feel failed by this gray area 51 - not a single word about GPS!
  313. the htc website mentions GPS
  314. it isn't right not to talk about it. i'm sure it doesn't have it. but that one preview on youtube showed it had GPS. maybe they think it should be a given? i don't know! i'm very upset right now. all i really wan't is the new tech. phone and GPS! dang!
  315. From HTC site:
    GPS navigation capability with built-in GPS receiver and map software
  316. Yea gizmodo.com also says GPS (Of Course..what would Google Maps be without it?)
  317. I asked in the live chat at http://qik.com/android and several people answered that it does have GPS.

    GPS
    Of course, what would Google Maps be without it?

  319. go to this link. it shows you that it does! http://www.htc.com/us/product/g1/specification.html
    THANK GOD!
  320. G1 is available on the T-mobile site (as an upgrade for my account). The $179 announced price is now $299.99!!!
  321. Congrats Bizarro! Please Let us know about how it works with the family plan when you get your G1 activated.
  322. read the google section of the tour!

    "funnerer,smarterer,conectederer"
  323. will do. [finally i can get rid of this MDA]
  324. G1 is on T-mobile website. ORDER NOW
  325. 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.

    Chris aka christexaport
    www.symbian-freak.com
    www.android-freak.com
  326. only black or brown available
  327. https://my.t-mobile.com/promotions/welcometemplate.aspx
    Following the G1 link from there seems to be working for the $179 upgrade.

    Yep its up in the my.t-mobile.com
  329. when can you click on "get it first" @ http://announcement.t-mobileg1.com/#
  330. Gribbage -- click the back to HTC worldwide link, then click learn more on the right
  331. Telling me $299 as an upgrade for my account.
  332. check your my tmobile page guys!!!! its there!!!
  333. YEah....WTF....299?

    What happened to 179$
  334. It's telling me $299 too. I tried both links posted here.
  335. you have got to be kidding me....is the 179$ price for someone who is like out of their contract or something???
  336. Yeah, it is on my tmobile page and shows as $399 minus $100 (instant rebate) = $299!
  337. 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!
  338. I don't know if this has already been discussed, but what colors will the G1 come in?
  339. oh wow...that i really lame
  340. God Damn it!!!!!!!!!!!#@E$!%&$%$Q##%^&$$##@!#$%^^#%#
    I got busy i couldn't log on
  341. it comes in black and brown
  342. i see $179 when i log in
  343. Thanks, Jake99.
  344. I just ordered my phone! WOO HOO!!!

    I am with tmobile since 1998!!! and i am on a monthly term.. why does is show $299 for me????
  347. I think a majority of people will be paying $299....having to be at the dead end of your contract to get that price sorta sux
  348. $299?? So you are telling me they won't give me a discount to switch to T-Mobile from AT&T? That doesn't make any sense to me.
  349. Where is the white, no preorder on the white?
  350. I just ordered mine on T-Mobile.com. I got the black!
  351. Yeah, I'm outa contract and it shows $179 on my "My T-mobile"
  352. anyone know what color the winner is getting?

  355. I get the $179 price but I dont think its worth it since I have to sign up for a 2 year contract.

  362. There will be a second winner at the official launch of the device so keep watching!!
  363. i'm just curious -- i plan on ordering another one from my dad and i dont want the same color
  364. Man I think everyone is freaked out about the pricing. This is the way I understand it:

    $179 - Full upgrade available to existing customers during the presale (those who have not upgraded their phone in the last 12 months from their contract anniversary date)

    $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)
  365. My G1 is ordered.
  366. 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.
  367. Let me know if I am wrong
  368. Log in your t-mobile homepage to upgrade.

    Once you've ordered check in on this thread http://androidcommunity.com/forums/s...ead.php?p=3732
