@Neil – Rumor Fail!

The G1 is going to get the next update Donut and the update after that Eclair. Don’t spread false rumors it just hurts the community.

@Rob – Story Fail. Your site has been advertising the $98 amazon G1 in banner ads for at least 6 months now. You fail to mention that. And if I needed one I would be happy to click on your ad to support the site and get the better deal. ;-)

You have to ask customer service for the promotional discount to get the $100 off. They initially told me to go through the Oprah website, but that apparently only works for new customers. upgrades need to ask through customer service. Worked for me

webby – untill Sept. 24th you can get $100 off the mytouch 3g by using the code – kickoff24 when you checkout. I just called customer service yesterday and got the wife one with the code for $99 even though I still had 27 or so days left on my contract before I could upgrade…

I think they said it was a promotional think with Opera’s 24th season or something like that..

@Neil
Why do people keep repeating the same rumor over and over again on every update !!! Google has never stated such thing before, please fix me if i was wrong

Also, it’s $130 PLUS your contract. Which is pretty pricey, considering I got mine for £0 on a 12 month contract back in February.

Oh, and Rob, I think your commenting engine gets a bit confused with timezones or something. Sometimes the comments appear completely out of order, with some appearing with a date of the day before the story was posted.

The G1 is going to get more updates. Please stop perpetuating that silly rumour.

The G1 is pretty worthless now that it’s not going to receive any more updates. I’ll stick with the one I’ve got, but I can’t see any reason to buy a new one when there are better alternatives out there.

@Webby I guess he was talking about the limited time offer: http://phandroid.com/2009/09/09/99-mytouch-with-oprahs/

um…. why would they? t-mobile’s not gonna advertise this phone or deal when they’ve got a brand new Android phone that just came out that they’re trying to get out there and they’ve got another one right on the horizon.

I don’t know where you get the mytouch 3G for $99 — I just went to the T-Mobile website, and they still show it at $199.99

seriously, they should lower the G1 to be less than $99 ‘cuz iPhone 3G on AT&T costs $99… and mytouch 3G is at $99

so my 2nd guess is: customers prefer G1 w/ physical keyboard. and G1 just sells better than mytouch 3G
