I’m 40yo and I havn’t been this excited over a cupcake. I’ve tried explain all the fuss to my wife and all she does is say “yes dear”. I’ve did all the g1 demands extended battery, limited apps and gave away my beloved blackberry. I need my cupcake please…

Do we know if it will come faster over wifi because last update I hooked it up to wifi and got it the same day but no 3g where I am. So does wifi effect it or is it random?

Yeah I got this from twitter, it IS going to happen, you just have to wait it out, stop being lazy and actually go to the site your self and read the FAQs and get the answers for your self.

If you already have a rooted phone and put the 1.5 on your self you will NOT get the update because the service will already see your phone running it.

Btw, I have not gotten cupcake yet and I’m in sacramento, ca.

@Joe no prob :D

I can’t believe more people aren’t excited about the A2DP support, it won’t even bother me if they never include a 3.5mm jack on upcoming phones again :)

I got my OTA cupcake update a few hours ago (T-Mobile NL, G1)
It looks pretty good, onscreen keyboard ain’t that bad. Also Dutch is a supported locale in 1.5

@Rakem – Rumours have been going that after the new radio update in Cupcake, battery life improves by about 20% and oddly, so does cellular signal…

@alex – Was that a reference to Handsome Rob (Jason Statham) from the 2003 remake of the Italian Job? …Just askin :P

@Bflame7 & @rakem – It’s not beaming, it’s called OBEX (Bluetooth File Transfer) which is one of the possible bluetooth profiles (like A2DP (Stereo Bluetooth), DUN, and a few others that you might not know). It is very possible for Google/Android to add this *WITHOUT* hardware changes, but who knows…They may add it in 2.0, they may not. I can fully understand it not being in 1.0/1.1/1.5 though…Bluetooth is one of the things that was finished at the last minute on Android 1.0/1.1 so they at least had to add the second most popular spec and some cleanups in Cupcake…
