Great to read that. Have fun with your G1 and start testing apps. I'm looking forward reading your review.

I'll write a kindof live review in the Reviews-Section..

T-Mobile have officially launched the G1 powered by Google Android in the US. The wait is over, and those of you who wanted to get some hands-on experience with the G1 can now head into stores and have a play yourself. Available both in-store and online, the G1 starts from $179.99 with a new, two-year contract. Availability, however, is listed as ... continued »

nice device

@plusminus: was there a contract-free version available in the shop where you bought it, or everything just with 2 year data plan?

You will no doubt love the device!

Congrats

Added pricing-informations to the review.

Added a Video of an Accelerometer-Game.

I have a question for G1 owners:

Can I link a G1 phone to a laptop/PC through a USB cable to use the internet connection of the computer and run Android apps that require http requests.

Why do I want to do this? I know it is a little weird and I know a tethered modem works the other way round but that's what I want to do.

This would in fact allow me to interface with green side web services (remember there is no VPN client on Android, and chances are I won't find such a thing any time soon).

Many thanks in advance.

I bought my G1 phone on ebay which was locked and the seller promised me that the phone would be usable for all functionality other than being able to call and use internet via edge/3g. But that was not true, I can't go past the google create/login startup screen and can't go past the initial validation. I don't have a t-mobile connection and I am on att. Is there anyway I can go past the initiation screen. I just want to be able to upload my apps and test them.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,
Eshwar.

Hello snep,

afaik what you bought sounds not like an unlocked device (which I don't think is possible yet) but a device without the 2year contract. What I heard is that you have to use your G1 for at least 3 months wit T-Mobile until you can use a different carrier.

Thanks for your quick response. Actually, I don't care if I am not able to use G1 for making calls. All I want is to be able to upload my apps on to the phone and test it. Do you think its impossible to do that on a locked phone?

You need a GMail-Account for logging on for the very first time. Also I assume you need to do that through T-Mobiles network

I'd prefer have a Touch HD with Android (but i need to wait :'()

Today I have received my G1 device here in Germany

It works perfectly without any trouble (I already had a T-Mobile sim card with contract though). Registration no prob, making calls no prob.

I can access Internet via EDGE as I don't live in a 3G area, but EDGE seems to be ok, too (and is available everywhere in the country). The question is, how much i'll have to pay for

The analog charger can't be used here... so I do it with the delivered USB cable.
