Malachai… congrats on the G1. I have that phone too, in addition to the T-Mobile Touch Pro2.

The G1 is an awesome phone. There is a lot you can do with it, to have lots of fun. What I like best about it is Android market that lets you download programs for free.

Yes, Cupcake is a great OS. Adding camcorder capability was essential.

Flash is not a rumor, it’s coming out in the next update. Speculation is that Donut (1.6) will have it and that is coming out soon.

I got the G1 for my birthday last month, and its my first phone. Being 14, I had been waiting a long while for a phone. It was definitely worth the wait because the G1 is amazing! Of course I did get it post Cupcake, so it came with all the features it should’ve had in the first place. I’m very excited for this phone because I just don’t see how the G1 can be topped. Also, can I get confirmation on the flash player rumor?

Why Walmart? Why not. That’s a huge outlet to sell phones.

Walmart sells the Touch Pro2, the most expensive phone for sale to date.

In any event, this is being billed as a phone that will make or break (or save) Motorola, so you want to get the phone into as many hands as possible. Walmart is a natural.

Besides, I thought Walmart is really an extension of third party vendor LetsTalk.com

This would be good news for consumers as I bet the phone goes for $100 on a two year contract, for new customers, and $200 for existing T-Mobile customers.

This could possibly be my dream phone. I hope after T-Mobile, it comes to AT&T. Because I will save my money up for this phone.

I started with a tmobile MDA then a tmobile Wing and now I have a tmobile G1 and I just do not see how the G1 could be topped. So the G1 v2 is probably going to be absolutely AMAZING!! Having a G1 and being totally spoiled with the never ending apps on the android market has been like having a new phone every week. Its just completely unthinkable how AWESOME the G1 v2 is gonna be!!! Everyone I know that has an iphone is waiting impatiently for their contracts to expire after seeing my G1 and how it degrades their poor iphones. I AM curious about what will be new or improved with the G1 v2 because the G1 I didn’t think could be any more awesome!! Xmas is coming early this year lol!!!!!

This phone looks like the shit from T-mobile! I really hope this thing gets released with great features and capabilities. My current phone is a Motorola RAZR2, and I would like to upgrade to something a little more sexy and durable as well as cool. I want a QWERTY keyboard and perhaps a nice camera. That would be great!!! Thanks,

But the one that is coming out looks nasty to slids down not to side. But the price is still going to be 149 with new 2yr con. Not bad as for now I love me g1.

OMG I want this phone soooo bad all the other T-Mobile phones suck!!!!! especially the G1! Why does T-Mobile not have any phones with a touch screen and slide out QWERTY keyboard? Every other phone service like Varizon and Sprint have one why not T-Mobile until October?What was T-Mobile thinking when they released the G1??? Were they on crack or something because its soooo ugly!!!! Ahhhh I want a new phone soooo bad cus I’ve had this razor forever and need something new!!!! So when this comes out I’m getting it! I wish it would hurry up and come out already!

Wow… I had that happen to an Ipaq PDA in 2001, back when they were a fortune. I was able to make a claim through Compaq though.

I usually sell my “old” phone each year when I get the latest one.

But this time I kept my Pearl 8120 because 1) it’s a great phone; and 2) if my G1 ever takes a dump, so to speak LOL, I have the 8120 as a backup phone till I get something else.

well… i dig my g1, a lot. problem is, i dropped it in a toilet over thanksgiving weekend, oh yeah, no insurance on it.. thought “why? nah.. ” i dried it out with a blow dryer and q-tips, and it came back to life.. been working as designed until yesterday, when the touch screen went all haywire, but i can still use the track ball to do everything. The toilet water has finally done its work.. I’m impressed that the G1 held out for another 6 months of excessive use. So, I need another G1, but I don’t think this one will hold out for a v2, and I really don’t want to buy another v1, if a v2 is coming..I’m torn. Not sure what to think of the g2 either. Guess I will wait until this one is actually dead.

Are you sure…..Verizon isn’t looking in to Android based devices?

@ therealninja

Okay you corrected the CDMA/Qualcomm statement, but as you said about the MSM7x information it is out of date. The MSM7x chipset was used for original Android development, but Android is being ported to many other basebands.

By: info

@ therealninja: the CDMA phones mostly use Qualcomm chips (and some Via).

T-Mobile had the only Android phone because HTC rush an Android phone out while everyone else waited until the software was mature enough.
