I didn't have a time to check if there are some 3-rd party software working on this phone. What the reason to buy the phone with such a serious number of limitations ?
Folks... let's stop buing these sh*t-quality toys. Let's show m.f . that we are demanding customers.

T-Mobile G1 (black)
Though we're not in love with the design and would have liked some additional features, the real beauty of the T-Mobile G1 is the Google Android platform, as it has the potential to make smartphones more personal and powerful. That said, it's not quite there yet, so for now, the G1 is best suited for early adopters and gadget hounds, rather than consumers and business users.

CNET Review
The Good: The T-Mobile G1 features a full QWERTY keyboard, 3G support, Wi-Fi, GPS, and Bluetooth. The Google Android operating system offers good integration with Google applications as well as access to the Amazon MP3 Store and YouTube. As more applications become available, the G1 will also become a more powerful smartphone for all types of users.
The Bad: The G1 doesn't include a standard heaphone jack and lacks Microsoft Exchange support. There are some annoying design quirks that make the smartphone uncomfortable to hold and difficult to use. You can't save downloaded applications to a memory card. Speakerphone quality wasn't the greatest.
The Bottom Line: Though we're not in love with the design and would have liked some additional features, the real beauty of the T-Mobile G1 is the Google Android platform, as it has the potential to make smartphones more personal and powerful. That said, it's not quite there yet, so for now, the G1 is best suited for early adopters and gadget hounds, rather than consumers and business users.

Review Summary: After using the G1 for about three months, I came to one conclusion. The battery life just sucks. You can't get through a day with light use and if you are a heavy user, like myself, you will need to charge before you even get halfway through a day. ...

Review Summary: Much fuss was made about the T-Mobile G1 on its release, not least because it was the first mobile phone to be unveiled using the fabled Google OS Android. And, like a good meatball sandwich that's overflowing with sauce, it doesn't disappoint.
The Verdict: The Androids are coming! The G1 is the first mobile to sport Google's OS, and it does a pretty good job. Subsequent

Review Summary: One of the first two Android devices released here in SA, the Dream makes its debut on the MTN network. One of the main things about this device is the way it integrates with Google's services.
The Verdict: That’s not to say we didn’t enjoy the Dream. The operating system worked well and integration with Google’s application was top notch. The browser was awesome, and this goes double for the QWERTY keyboard. Unfortunately the Dream is let down by bad...

Review Summary: The T-Mobile G1 is the Googlephone. Did we really need to say that? Well, there's more Google in this story than there is phone, so we guess we did. We've got a new contender on the race track but we're talking no rookie here...

I think that anything in a phone thats not Microsoft and not Apple already has something good to say about it. The reviews and videos have been great and as a programmer I can't wait to write something for it. All in all..I just placed an order for mine.
