Meet the T-Mobile G1

Sep 23rd 2008 6:39PM on Engadget Mobile

Seeing that the OS is open source, I'm sure we'll see a soft unlock within weeks, if not days, of the G1's release.

It is not a REQUIREMENT to live within 2-5 miles of a 3G market, it's just that those are the only stores that will stock it. Everyone else is able to order online and cope with EDGE, and WiFi when available.

Personally I agree that the 'Back' button should be on the left, but the righty Back button hasn't exactly sent Blackberry into obscurity yet...

Yes it supports EDGE... You just won't be able to stroll into a store and purchase one unless you're in a 3G market- you have to order it online or through Customer Care. See: http://www.t-mobileg1.com/3G.aspx#moreinfo

Skyshock21- Surely you jest! 3G in only ONE city?! Where have you been for the past few months? T-Mobile currently has 3G operational in 13 markets, with another eight scheduled to be online in time for the G1's availability. There will be nearly 30 markets with 3G by the end of 2008, and at the rate they've been cracking them out lately (two to three markets per week) it shouldn't be an issue for long... unless you live next to the Squidbillies!

Eric- You are missing some important details. T-Mobile USA and AT&T do use the same frequencies in many markets... for 2G. Regarding 3G, AT&T (along with the rest of the world) uses 1900 and 2100 MHz for 3G. T-Mobile USA uses 1700 and 2100 MHz exclusively for 3G. Now this does not necessarily preclude the G1 from working on AT&T's 3G network. You see, T-Mobile uses 1900 and 2100 MHz for 3G in Europe, and it is already confirmed that T-Mobile will be launching the G1 in Europe too. I think it is a safe wager that they are running the same hardware, just with differing localized regional software. This would lead me to believe that the G1 will support 3G on 1700, 1900, and 2100 MHz.

What's a landline?

RSS telegraph puts the challenge back into reading the news

I think this would be cooler if they made an RSS reader that output to an old paper stock ticker.

Latest PSP firmware update includes free T-Mobile WiFi, too

People actually pay for WiFi?

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"For a long time I have been searching for a portable device where I can store all of my CDs in MP3 format and stream the songs wirelessly to my HiFi system. The portable device must I've tried FM transmitters, they all suck. I don't want a docking station. Any help? Thanks!" have a display so that I easily can scroll through the playlists (I don't want to use a TV or monitor). I suppose that there must also be a second device that is connected to the HiFi system that would receive the wireless streams from the portable device.
