I've got a US G1 I bought of Ebay back in sept of 08, workes great, using Fido network, and T-mobile send the cupcake update back in may (not sure how cuz I'm on fido, but it poped up asking me to update, so I did.) My soft keyboard works fine (but I have to admite the soft keyboard on the iphone is much more responsive
) and my internet works fine as well, however i'm only able to get a EDGE connection. I assumed that onece rogers started selling them I'd be able to get 3g but still it only ever connects on edge. does anyone have a suggestion? and no i dont have only connect with 2g checked.
if I can pass off any experience from the past few months to my new canadian newbies, it would be to get the following programs as a must have.....Locale, Owner, ahome lite, toggle settings, sazam, cab4me, shopsavvy, flashlight (sounds like an odd choice, but many a night it helps out with little thinks like finding keys from car floor), imeem (make an online account and upload all your mp3s from your pc), meridian, funambol, parkmark(I use free old version) and of course the most obviouse, start using a gmail account, if you don't have one get one, this phone absolutly sucks for things like MS office, but if you link all your contacts, calendars, names, e-mails and such to a free gmail account, this phone really shines and is pretty much unbeatible right now. (this should not surprise anyone since google made the OS, its obviouse to the users advantage to use google products)\
Oh and I can absolutly tether it to my laptope for internet access, no issues. phone cost $270 off ebay, that includes shipping, and its mine, much better than rogers 599.00 byeout and I've got no contract, can stick in any sim and it works great, fido, rogers, whatever.
