To me this seems like FUD, and nothing else, as reported before the G1 was even announced, there was a press release about 3G for T-Mobile US, and that was, it was going to limited metropolatin areas, so those of you whining about speed issues, make sure that that you are in the supported area hackbod is right, this does say 1.0 on the phone, and although missing some features that i'm sure a lot of us would like to see, deal with it for the time being or don't get the phone. Devices/Systems of this magnitude are going to have flaws and things that bother us, but over time they will be fixed. Just look at the iPhone and its introduction to the cell phone market, jeeze, it still doesnt even have cut & paste, open file support, etc. Just something they deal with. Over time we will all have G1s, and other phones with great features, it just going to take time. Time, most of us have tons of it. If you don't have patience, then you have many other well estabished options. Symbian, WinMo, iPhone, etc. Sorry for the rant
