However, it might be noting that it's not <em>too</em> difficult to flash the G1 with firmware designed for the other Android phones. This way, I'm actually quite happy that the phone is so flexible: it could be made to work with newer firmware because it has all the necessary hardware. Your keyboard might need some tightening... though I've never had this problem. My screen creaks occasionally, but it's easily fixable by turning on the vibrator motors.

The HTC magic that vodafone are selling/ offering as part of their plans is much tidier, much better lied out then the G1 AND more importantly, the updates are more frequant, patch more important security holes and improve functionality better then that of the G1. The standard flip-out keyboard on the G1 has such a wobble on it now, i'm scared to even use it. The screen creeks when pressed and the cemera is very poor quality indeed. With regards to T-mobile though, I think they are fantastic. The support they give is nothing short of excelent and the sales rep in the store was helpfull to the point of being over-helpfull, if there is such a thing!! The apps availabel now is ever increasing though, which is encuraging to find, means a lot of people/ companies are getting on the G1 band-waggon and finally embracing open-source as a means of supplying end users with the raw materials to do something fantastic. However, this is not the perfect phone for everyone, and newbies are sure to find themselves stuck in an ever growing list of complicated and labourious tasks to customise their phones. Google, it's a good effort, but it could be SOOO much better if the edges has been more 'polished' and the end result a little bit more user friendly. T-mobile, Fantastic support from you guys, well done. Marvelous! it seems to me that the T-mobile G1 is only a ‘beta’ type product at the moment.

I reset my phone once, and that was because the accelerometer stopped responding. Other than that, I haven't had any major issues. I saw the warning just once and didn't think much of it.

I never factory reset my phone once and I had it since october. That’s a good approach as well; you do need to cache. I never factory reset my phone once and I had it since october.

I shall wait and see, though -- if the internal memory is faster than SD memory, I'd just store apps on the SD and use internal memory for caching. That’s a good idea.
