I did. I was able to connect to the internet at the campus cafeteria, i guess i was expecting to be able to connect to the web from home as well, trough my computer. My computer is WPA protected and if i add the ecription key in the password box it keeps saying it's invalid. Like i said before, i don't really know what i'm doing...i'm even surprised i was able to connect at school.I guess it does notify me when a network is available, but otherwise the wi-fi says disconnected. I currently have t-zones on my G1...will i still be able to connect to the internet trough wi-fi if i remove t-zones from my plan? Hi!

Please help me...i got the G1...somehow was able to create a Google account and activate my phone...i wonder if it was because of the t-zones because i hadn't activated the data plan. I could not use the internet because the wifi was disconected. So i called t-mobile and asked for the plan...they applied it to my account and the wifi was active at that point as well. Then, i called and cancelled it, thinking that's all that i needed to do in order for my phone to connect to wifi. Now they took the plan off of my account, but my phone still wont connect to the wifi and can't seem to be able to access the internet. I also read a couple of blogs and saw some statements that said the G1 should be usable with the t zones. Is that posible? Do you know anything? I'm very anti-tech so if you could kinda give me easy-to-understand-for-dumb-people-directions, i would really appreaciate it. Thanks Hi!

I sat here for like 4 hours reading every post, and I still cant figure it out. If you do a factory reset, you cant login to google on a wi-fi connection right? So how does that work?

As far as Internet access is concerned, it is as "powerful" as 3G and EDGE, though it does not support services (such as MMS) that require the client to be on the private T-mobile subnet.

I take it that you have a data plan with your G1? If that is the case, I would need to have a WiFi connection, correct?

I am having trouble sending MMS... i followed Dave's settings,,, double and triple checked, shutdown, removed battery, powered on, tried to send a picture text to a friend, no luck, stuck in my inbox with the ICON looking like an email with a RED ICON. I have WiFi right now, so why wouldn't it be able to send MMS? I have it set on 2g EDGE... any help is much appreciated! thank you! build number: DRC83, Firmware version: 1.6 Jiang,
