I love my G1. It’s the best phone I have had so far, and I’m always getting the best phones from different carriers. The G1 is not a perfect phone, but with all the features and capabilities, it puts other phones to shame. I would love to have a second one of these bad boys.

How hard would it be to unlock this phone and use it in AT&T’s network?

Reply
By Android Tapp on December 28, 2008 at 10:46 am:

@Edgar Hilton Android Central has a cool video showing that it can be done: http://androidcentral.com/unlock-tmobile-g1/

But you need to Google “G1 Unlock codes”… in looking at the video, they used “66631066″ with an AT&T sim card.

Hey i signed up, I know things aren’t going that well with the economy and my family has taken a huge hit. The t mobile g1 was my only present this christmas and it was already stolen. Unfortunetly, my parents do not have the money to get a new one, and we did not have insurance on it. I was googling a way to get one for free and this is my only hope. This is NOT to get sympathy I have to come straight out and say that even if I get a free small phone I would appreciate it. I was so excited and I got it taken away. I don’t know your website or anything but I promise that if I get this phone or even a small flip phone for T Mobile since I already have a plan I will love it so much and appreciate it. I am not sure how to get anything else done on the site to give me more of a chance but I’ll figure it out. Thank you!!!!!!!!! I HOPE YOU HAD A MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

I’m getting an iPhone 3g tomorrow. I had a G1 last month but had to return it since my contract isn’t up till next April; I can upgrade tomorrow. I’ll use the new G1 and unlock it to AT&T and wait for the new battery….my biggest gripe was the low battery life.

Late!

Well I’m not sure yet what your site is all about but I registered and saw that you have app reviews, and links. I will explore your offerings and let others know about you on forums I visit. Good Luck to your endeavors.

This is a pretty awesome promotion, I gotta say.

I’ve got a suggestion for your site- why not have a “vifdeos” tab at the top that automatically redirects to Droideo? I wondered why you guys didn’t have video reviews, and I realized they’re on your partner’s website.

Thanks!

I know this is a double post, but I had question- I blogged and linked this post, but on my Stumble Upon blog- does it count towards 3 entries still? What is Trackback/Pingback?

Hey just wanted to say this promotion is a great idea, both for your users and for marketing. I’ve been wanting to develop some mobile apps for Android, but am a poor college student, so it would be awesome to get a hold of one for free.
