masque12I got tired of waiting for T-Mobile to auto update my G1, so I went and updated the OS manually, here.
Worked like a charm. The auto-reorient feature works great, and the phone is vastly improved in it's quickness. It can even take video now, although I need a bigger SD card to take full advantage of that.
The onscreen keyboard works pretty well, too, although one of my main reasons for going with the G1 is that it has a real keyboard instead of a touchscreen one. Screw it, I've got both now, plus the blackberry style scroll button/toggle.
The new feature that I'm really happy about is stereo bluetooth support. Granted, I'm going to have to wait a bit to get a stereo headset, money being tight at the moment, but when I get a chance, I'll be all over that. I'll probably upgrade the SD card at the same time, so I can load up an assload of music on it. Now, if only I could also get some vidshades to go with it...
