   None of the T-Mobile retailers in my town sell the G1 and I want one desperately. I’ve even convinced my wife that she wants one too so if the time comes that we get enough money for the phone she’s less likely to say no.

   I also have a pretty good idea for a game/app for the Android platform. I’m teaching myself Java right now so i can eventually make it. I’d prefer a Dev phone but would still be tickled pink with the good ol’ G1.

   I’m loving Androidtapp.com by the way, very pleasing on the eyes.

   Simply great, even because it’s not avaiable in germany yet.

    This is a pretty awesome promotion! Especially due to some of the economic downturn, and the pricetag on the G1s right now. It’d be especially cool if the G1 were a Dev G1!

    First that I have heard of G1, android, and this site. This has been very helpful as I am looking to switch from just a cell phone (love my nokia) as it is no longer possible to leave work at work. Plus it is positively addicting to have access to the internet where ever you are! Not a techie, so unless my son-in-law want to help out, I probably wouldn’t need the developer version… Cool concept contest! Yes! I would love to win a G1.

    Have spent most of the day searching comments on the G1 haveing decided it is time to upgrade beyond a standard phone. Is this the best phone for accessing work emails, with file attachments? Anyone know? Wasn’t real clear in what I read as to whether a Trio or blackberry is geared more toward work applications. Gotta tell ya though, really want the G1 to be the right phone. It is way cool. Don’t even mind that the lack of touch screen keyboard. Texting on my little nokia has been a pain…so this will be amazing.

    Currently my Nokia says it has 5 hrs talk time on the battery. Thoughts on whether the G1 battery capacity is a huge issue? I am usually in the office and wouldn’t use it there. This is mainly for if I am out at meetings, I can quickly access a file, or if out of town, wouldn’t lug my laptop along…I am ready to start begging…No, not really. Sounds like some people really need it. I just want it:)

    @Sady43 To be honest, this is not the greatest phone for accessing work email, as corporate email support is lacking. Google is aware of this huge issue and are trying to address it. For now, there’s work-arounds.

    Unlike Blackberry, the email is not “pushed” to your device the instant it comes. Instead, you have to have your work/regular email auto forwarded to Gmail (or in reverse have Gmail automattically go get your work/regular email… because you need a Gmail account to use the phone) and the phone auto checks Gmail. The POP3 and IMAP email clients on the phone suck but are manageable. But the beauty in the phone is that some developer will come along and create an app to fix that, it’s really a matter of time.

    You can get attachments but only the following types are able to be opened:
    JPG, GIF, PNG, TXT, DOC, XLS

    I sell Audi’s and want to buy good smartphone and was thinking of IPhone 3G but don’t like AT&T.
    I searched on new Android phone and I want it!
    Just love to be able to prototype it, if HTC wants me to test it for free!
    If I can be blessed with the G1, love it!

    You sell Audi’s but you can’t afford your own phone? Also, it’s not a prototype and I’m pretty sure the thousands of people who have bought the phone have done enough testing.

    I saw the New G2, and from the looks of it, the G1 is less sleek but more pragmatic (keyboard, etc). Who knows though, I’m just always a big fan of the keyboard. I’ve had a chance to play with the G1 that my friend bought, great device, saved my butt in walmart too.

    @Jennae @ Green Your Decor The Barcode scanner apps work even better than taking a picture of the barcodes, they use the phones camera to focus on the barcode in real-time, once it reads it… checks the database for the prices (if available). Thanks for participating
