just showed up sometime last night. i woke up at about 2am and it said it was ready to update, and i wound up staying up for about a half hour messing with it. the amount of polish they put on the system is amazing. this thing is a beast now.
who else got the update? mine's unlocked and not with t-mobile, btw, so apparently everybody's getting it.

3rd party widgets (finally), smoother interface, animation between screens (this makes a huge difference), everything seems faster, virtual keyboard, revised contacts list, revised gmail, 1st party video recording, MUCH improved still camera, automatic orientation flipping on apps, and more stuff i'm sure i'm forgetting. it's awesome.

I did the update myself last week.. tired of waiting for it...

The update is awesome though..

Just need to find an easy way to tether to my pc

BustedS13

i came pretty close to rooting it but... eh. the only thing i'd really gain is snapshot ability, which could be nice

u have AT&T right
i wanted a G1 for a while now,
the only thing that held me back was supposely the 3G doesnt work with ATT ?? or the network frequency on the 3G only works on T-mobile or some crap like that
how fast is the internet for u ?

regardless .. i am waiting for the palm pre and see how its gona turn out

BustedS13

yes, i'm on at&t, and the 3g doesn't work because the g1 is only capable of receiving t-mobile 3g frequency. but i'm on wifi most of the time anyway, so i don't really notice. i think if t-mobile gets 3g in my area i'll go ahead and switch over, though.

sounds cool busted

maybe i'll get the next gen g1

it don't like how it looks :/

i have faith in the android

hegamiz

Yeah, I was totally gonna wait for the G2. Everything seem better, until I found out there was no physical QWERTY....
No physical QWERTY = the lame

Sounds pretty cool actually. If i was on t-mobile I would definitely pick one up.


I wonder how long before it becomes a VS thread

I got the phone like a couple months ago. I think its better than the iphone.

DevilZ

yea got the update... SWEEETT. heard flash works now!

BustedS13

it's over-the-air, you'll automatically get it when it rolls out in your region. should be in the next few days.

nah, flash still doesn't work. later this year.

the "g2" is lame as shit, and the g1 redesign is all cosmetic... but there are supposedly 18 android phones coming out by the end of '09, so you might find something you like soon.

mark my words. Motorola's android phone will be the sickest.

oh yeah, moto.... you know, i think back on all the motorola products that have come and gone, and while they all looked good for their time, they all ran like shit, so i hated them. razr, slvr, moto q (had this), so on. but man, moto's design paired with android. there's no way that could suck. you know what carrier is getting it?

Wait the G2 doesnt have a physical keyboard? Wasn't that one of its selling points over the Iphone?

BustedS13

the g2 is the smaller, cheaper android phone. they are not discontinuing the g1. there will be 18 Android phones out by the end of this year.
Android is a mobile operating system. it is not the whole package.

Grendel give me that game name, i'm gettin' that.

Oh okay, I just assumed the G2 was the improved version of the G1. Hm 18 you say? If this android platform is as good as you all say it is, in may make me reconsider getting that other phone.

I agree. This OTA is sick.

SMS doesn't lag so much.

hwd_ca

If ur texting press in the center scrolling ball thing and an touch keyboard pops out instead of having to slide it open. Sickkk

Grendel

Sounds sick, can't wait till mine gets it.

Also can't wait till Tmobile rolls out 3g here, edge is super fail.

Busted, have you played the abduction cow game? It's pretty awesome. Can't remember the exact name of it right now, and my phone is down in the car. Gotta bounce cows on platforms and collect powerups and shit... way fun.

Grendel

I think the name of the game was Abduction... it's pretty sick

BTW update your movie thread!
