T-Mobile G1

TMOtoday has published a trio of rumors today, stating that the Motorola CLIQ XT is arriving in stores, will start selling March 17th for $99, and will immediately be available as part of a Buy One Get One Free campaign at T-Mobile that they said would start today.
Internal screenshot regarding price/date:

Here is the screenshot they [...]

Different carriers in different regions will act differently and this latest rumor can only responsibly be applied to the Netherlands, but if it’s happening there it could and probably will happen elsewhere. The rumor? That the T-Mobile G1/Dream and the MyTouch 3G/Magic/G2 will get pumped full of Android 2.0 goodness by the end of January [...]

As the first Android 2.0 device, the Motorola Droid was ALSO the first device with Google’s new full featured, turn-by-turn navigation solution called Google Navigation. Since all Android 2.0 will come with this brand new Google Navigation capability, it would have been a safe bet to assume the second device launching with Android 2.0 would [...]

There is good hot and bad hot. Good hot would be something like the rumored HTC Dragon – an Android Phone supposedly coming packed with a Qualcomm 1GHz processor. Then there is bad hot… like your T-Mobile G1 melting through directly through your battery cover:

That’s exactly what happened to a blogger over at AndroidWorld.nl as [...]

Clear those shelves! Make way for the Motorola CLIQ! T-Mobile just dropped the price of the T-Mobile G1 to only $129.99 on its website:

While I’m still deathly in love with the G1, T-Mobile doesn’t seem to have too much interest in promoting it or this new offer. To find the G1 on the T-Mobile website [...]

A few days ago we reported that while the G1 will likely continue to get minor updates and bug fixes, the evolutionary updates (Cupcake => Donut => Eclair) might be over. Noting a tweet from a Google Engineer himself, things certainly didn’t look good. The cause for worrying has been blown out of proportion and [...]

Do you have an HTC Dream (G1) or HTC Magic (MyTouch 3G) yet crave the HTC Sensification of the HTC Hero? HTC published a Press Release (translated to English) on their Taiwanese site announcing that HTC Sense – the company’s proprietary build of Android – will be available for FREE to owners of the HTC [...]

Don’t you hate it when you’ve got a load of voicemails sitting in your inbox, you get a missed call and voicemail from somebody extremely important and then have to listen and pass through all the previous voicemails before you get to your message of choice? So do we! But now you don’t have to [...]

For T-Mobile G1 owners, Cupcake has been an enigma, and it will remain so for at least 1 more week. Following up on T-Mobile’s May 7th announcement that Cupcake would be launching the end of that following week, T-Mobile is now saying the Cupcake rollout has been delayed 1 week. Furthermore, the rollout will occur [...]

Disconnect over at AndBlogs.net has just posted a link to the full T-Mobile G1 Hardware Specs and no… we’re not talking how many megapixels the camera has or what version of Bluetooth is enabled. These specs, ladies and gentlemen, are WAY above my head. To put it in perspective, these are the specs that Google [...]

Some VERY exciting news has just leaked out via CellPhoneSignal and TMOtoday – both websites got their hands on an internal T-Mobile time-line that lists the 2009 launch timeframe for Android devices… including the previously unmentioned “Samsung Houdini”.

Something is extremely fishy though… this document lists two devices not yet released:

G2 – Summer launch
Samsung Houdini – [...]

Watch this space… I’ll update THIS POST as the story unfolds:

YES! T-Mobile USA ISSSSS getting the cupcake update! Our first tipster, Bo Shonka, has indicated they are in the United States and they’ve attached a picture proving the Cupcake update has arrived on their T-Mobile G1! Let us know when you get Cupcake on the [...]

Deutsche Telekom’s stock has tumbled in recent days and much of that was tied to a public announcment which downgraded their estimated financial outlook for the remaineder of 2009. The company, who trades with stock ticker (DT), owns the T-Mobile and inherently are responsible for our beloved G1. And when I say “our” I mean [...]

Yesterday we saw the T-Mobile G1 go on sale for $98 at Amazon.com. It’s still there, but that sweet, sweet deal seems to have been trumped by Costco. The coupon is for $100 off the T-Mobile G1 with a bonus bluetooth headset included. A member of AndroidForums.com (webby) sent in images of the coupon, which [...]

According to Pocket-Lint, a T-Mobile spokesperson has said that the company, “will be offering G1 users the firmware update in April,” referring to the now infamous Cupcake Development Branch we told you about in December. Among the most treasured of additional features is the on-screen keyboard the G1 is so desperately needing at the moment.
Also [...]

If you want the best possible deal on the T-Mobile G1 you need to head over to Amazon where they’re currently selling the only American Android Phone for only $98! It costs $179.99 if you buy it directly from T-Mobile so that is a HECK of a deal. How do they do it? I’d say [...]

We admit – we missed a couple days of news. But if it is any consolation weren’t JUST being lazy… we recorded our first podcast over the weekend and you can look out for it in just a few hours. That’s our excuse and we’re sticking by it! Both lucky and unlucky for us, there [...]

Checking your G1 every other minute to see if RC33 has been beamed down upon you? Welcome to the club. Fortunately, you don’t have to wait to join. We got an email yesterday (Thanks Peter) with a link to to the most recent firmware update, version 1.1 and RC33. Here is a direct link to [...]

When it comes to mobile phone accessories, sometimes simplicity is the route best (and least) travelled. Take for example this handy little $6 phone stand from InnovationWednesday that allows you to stand your phone up (plugged in) for use watching video, using as an alarm clock, or however else it might suit your tastes:

Realizing it [...]

How many cameos has the iPhone made on television? Probably too many to count. And Lil Wayne wheezes out lines like, “Makin’ million dollar deals on my iPhone” in at least 15% of his tracks. But what about Android? Popular perception is that Android is and should be reserved for the more “dorky” of consumers, [...]
