I'm currently up in Vancouver on vacation from California with my unlocked G1. I took it down to the local mall to see if I can get a pre-pay plan that does data, and I was basically told that I'd have to sign up for a contract plan on Rogers, so it sounds like your scenario above applies. One of the employees at the store volunteered his SIM card to see if the phone's data capabilities could be tested, but it didn't work. I'm guessing I would need to enter in the Rogers APN information into the phone before data will start working. For what it's worth, T-Mo's data roaming is not working here either, the only way I'm getting data service at the moment is WiFi.

My Mac says my phone is formatted with FAT16, and both my Mac and my Linux box says that the card is formatted without a MS-DOS partition table, i.e. it mounts as /dev/sdc instead of /dev/sdc1 (first partition on sdc) in Linux, and as /dev/disk3 (whole drive) on the Mac.

[android-beginners] Re: How to get a G1 whithout a suscription plan?
Please don't crosspost like this... at least wait a day or two if you don't get an answer to your first post.

No. I paid outright for my G1, and got the IEMI unlock code about two days after I got the phone and called T-Mo and asked for it. I'm currently on a month-to-month T-Mo plan, so that smoothed a lot over. I don't know what would happen if you walked into a store (that actually had a phone) and tried to buy it outright. Worse comes to worse, you could set up a FlexPay plan and then just forget about it. After you got your GSM unlock code of course.
