I have atleast 3 times.

Yes I know what my timezone is, its -5 GMT Eastern Standard (duH). Yes I know if you cut the silent button on it won’t work (duH!). And yes it normally DOES work, but guess what? WHen you don’t plug it in, sometimes it doesn’t go off, like Today and two other times it hasn’t went off. Whats the deal with this? Some magical combination of settings when the power is not plugged in is causing the fucking alarm NOT TO GO OFF! So Apple stop stifling and release 3.0 you dirty bastards! I’m hoping the alarm will be reliable THEN.

I had finally convinced myself it was super cool, the latest & greatest in cell phone technology.

So.. I went ahead and gave it a shot. Yes I compromised my iPhone for this crap. The design of the phone is awkward (especially for us right brained folks), the keyboard sucks, the touch screen sucks, the user functionality is horrid and number one and most importantly – t-mobile’s phone support is the worst tech/billing/account support I have yet to encounter.

If you are considering this phone, you might want to re-consider the pros & cons very carefully.

It is a true icon of media HYPE and the videos you watch are based around very spread out, un-userfriendly widgets.

The G1 should have stayed a prototype for atleast another year. Too soon google, too soon!
