I have a question, people say the battery life is too short. In terms of your experience how is the battery holding up?

[Apo11oBo]

Google has released a few performance enhancing updates since the G1's release. Since the last update, battery life has not been a problem for me. I probably talk on the phone for a combined hour or 2 every day, send a combined 50-75 text messages, use WiFi, Bluetooth, 3G, and sometimes GPS each for different amounts of time every day, and the battery usually makes it through the whole day on a single charge. The battery isn't as strong as other phones but it gets the job done

Ok, question . Im getting my G1 for my birthday ... In October. Anyway, do you think the Cupcake update will still be available by then ? Please reply .

[Apo11oBo]

Yeah, The cupcake update is an upgrade to the operating system so it won't ever go anywhere. In fact, in October, your G1 may even have it installed right out of the box. But when system upgrades are rolled out, they become the new standard so no matter when you get your G1, whether its in 4 months or 4 years, you will always have the most recently released build.

The mytouch (aka HTC Magic) is coming out in October but thats the only Android phone coming out this year from T-Mobile. I wouldn't recommend the new dash tho, it runs Windows Mobile 6.1, Android is a better, more fun, more stable, more customizable operating system. The touch pro is a Windows Mobile Device, Once again, I wouldn't recommend it. And unlike the G1, the MyTouch doesn't have a physical keyboard, just a soft keyboard.
