Google is well aware that a “hackable” device is always a more appealing device. TMO may not feel the same way. Especially if there’s the possibility of an exploit that may potentially deprive them of revenue.

The hackers won’t quit, but you may be underestimating google. Have you ever heard about an exploit in Gmail? I haven’t… I think they will try to keep the same quality of firmware with the G1 going on. There may never be another hack because they’re working harder than the hackers (at their full time job) to prevent it

Update as I awoke this morning…. TC5-RC8 116470

Battery life has sucked until now. I hope this goes some way to letting me have more than a day’s use out of it with a full charge.

Incidentally, it cancelled my alarm clock. Bit of a worrier, as I nearly woke up late.

One other thing is that the date and time reset itself to 17 Sep 08, roughly 3pm. Odd. Had to set the system to use networks settings.

One update this morning, now on TC5-RC8 116470.

I’m watching that battery life – mine sucked big time whenever I used anything but the phone. I get about a day’s usage currently. Boo!

I suppose just wait and see then! Their will be alot more things happening ahead , Just wait and see patiently i suppose!!!!!

I believe that you can check for upgrades by creating an AnyCut shortcut to “Device Info”.

Scroll down to the bottom and hit “Check for Upgrade”.

Mine isn’t reporting any new pending updates yet though…

Hello to all the UK users,

I’m impressed with all the good discussion over the weekend & I’d like
to address some of the questions:

- Yes a patch is still coming out, & will be pushed by Google as soon
as we can. We don’t promise specific dates & times because anything
can happen at the last minute, and there’s little worse than dashed
hopes.
We’re working hard to get the UK patch out; the delay is not an
attempt to show favoritism or to ignore our friends across the pond! I
hear it’s coming Very Soon.

- You’ll notice that we use Groups for all of our products, not just
“peripherals”. We’re monitoring them closely & think it’s fine to air
things publicly where everyone can weigh in, no matter if the comments
are positive or negative. The London Sales & Engineering Office won’t
be able to assist you with these G1 questions; you can continue
posting questions here or sending them to T-Mobile.
Part of the joy of the open platform is that everyone has access to
the code, so Google doesn’t become a bottleneck in the process. To be
clear, the only portion of the phone that Google is fully supporting
is the Android Market (which has it’s own Help Forum & Help Center).

-Orlovsky – no need to remove your post, though I will mention that
this isn’t the recommended way to get updates

Cheers,
Robin

I have just spoken with technical support in the UK this morning and the rep that I spoke to put me on hold for 5 mins.

When he came back he said that he’d checked and we should expect an update around the 12th-14th of November.

Let’s wait and see!
