When you login to MyTmobile and upgrade that way, the phone will not be charged to your bull until it ships. I was curious if you had to pay for it up front then wait. So good news there.

Later,

Justin

P.S. I got the black one

I now use a Blackberry. In your opinion how do you compare the BB 9000 and G1? During the webcast there was mention of $179 for the phone but when I checked it was $299 with a two year extension. This might be because I am still in my 2 years with my BB.
Thanks,

I too use a BB, in fact I use a Curve. The decidig factor that made me jump for this phone was the OTA sync of contacts, calander, etc. It's cool that when you add a contact on your G1 it automatically puts it in your Gamil contacts.

But yes.. the reason you and I paid 299 was becuase we aren't eligable for the "full discount" only partial.

From what I have seen, the G1 will be slightly better than the BB 9000 becuase of the freedom of apps.

Good luck!

If email is important to you then stick with the BB for now. The G1 doesn['t support business email servers as yet. However, if you want a multimedia phone with solid web access you'll want the G1

Also, the $179. is for those in upgrade status. Otherwise, to reserve one now its full price.

Actually I will forwatd myname@mybiz.com to my Gmail address.... then in my Gmail settings I will set the "From" or "Reply To" to myname@mybiz.com ...then wallah I'm all set. 😁

Also.... it's not 179 or full price.... Full price is 399. T-Mobile has a partial discount program if you aren't eligable for the full discount. Mine was 299 + upgrae fee + tax.

T-Mobile, the last in line to get cool new phones and better service and data speeds and loyal existing customers cannot get the $179 price. Nice Move T-mobile! If T-Mobile can offer this price to anyone on the street who is not a T-mobile Customer, than they should do the same or better for customers who have been with them since go. The need for greed will cost you in the long run. What a damm shame!

Either you recently upgraded or you haven't been with T long enough to be considered "loyal". If you upgraded, you knew that somewhere in the next year or two, depending on your terms, they would be releasing a "better than what you are upgrading to" phone and that when said "better than what you are upgrading to" phone actually comes out, you're not going to qualify for the best price.

It's in the agreement that you, um, agreed to...
