T-Mobile G1 First Review From Community Member

[Bratag]

I assume this was directed at me. We're what, 8 pages into this thread and barely talked about your review or the phone, right?

Had you waited until you had pictures and posted all that information at once, this could've been 8 pages of talking about your actual review, 8 pages of people asking "how's the ____ working?" and you answering with your honest opinion.

Instead, we spent like 4 pages figuring out if you were even telling the truth, right? I'm not saying you had to stop what you were doing to take pics. In fact, just the opposite, don't post while you're driving, that's dangerous. I'm suggesting you could've gone home, found some time to write your review, then later found some time to take some pics, and then found some time (maybe even later) to put it all together and post it.

You mention patience, and I agree. But I think that patience also applies to you. Don't you think that if you had been more patient, waited until you had the time to do some pics and get all that information put together and THEN posted your review, that would've been better? It would've only been a few more days. Considering we've all got another 17, you taking 3 days, in your spare time, to do something right the first time wouldn't have been such a big deal. Had you done that, there would've been zero flaming, and zero debate on this. I would not even be writing this post, and you wouldn't have had to defend yourself left and right.
It's all about planning things out, man. That's what I'm saying.


Yes, some people freaked out and over-reacted, but you could've done more to prevent that, and that is all I'm saying.

He did - he planned out working two jobs and taking care of a new baby and THEN he posted some phone info in the two seconds he had left. He didnt have to post anything.

For the last time, keep it on topic. I thought we killed this horse. Bring it up again and we close the thread. Enough said.

Agreed, One more negative post against him and we're locking this thread.

Could everyone that's upset about him not having the pictures ready initially just drop it?

If you aren't happy with how he handled this post, then please move on. He was kind enough to take the time to write us a review even when he had family obligations. You are given free answers and advice, and are still complaining that he did not post pictures and proof in what he considers a timely manner?

Let me please remind you that he did this on his own and is not required to post any proof or any reviews. It was a favor. Take it or leave it, but please do not argue back-and-forth or call him insensitive for being upset that people were calling him a liar and cheat.

Kaziko is a T-Mobile manager and does not deserve the arguing that is (still) going on.

I know we are all anxious for this phone, but there's no reason to be rude or disrespectful.

Please just drop the whole proof debate and lets get back to the subject at hand.

Thanks!

Yeah, like hows the battery life?

New rules:

Keep this thread on topic, or it's locked. That means not only attacks against the OP, but anymore discussion on how the whole thing was handled.

I'd like to know:

1. Is the IM app an all-in-one buddy list, or do you need to exit out of GTalk buddies to go find your AIM buddies on another list?

2. Does the phone vibrate and ringtone at the same time with an incoming call? Is it one or the other? Does it vibe THEN ring? What gives?

I would like to know ans to Qt 1. too, for the second, I think most phones usually have it on their ring settings, say, settings for loud, silent, vibrate etc... but dont know if it will be same here.

Can apps be downloaded to the memory card?

Yes, question #2 would be great to know. I want my phone to vibrate then ring! I seem to recall somewhere, video, review or a forum that stated it had the following options: 1: ring and vibrate, 2: ring, or 3: vibrate.
