Let me be clear here too, if you own a T-Mobile G1 branded Google Android device DO NOT ATTEMPT TO UPDATE using these HTC images and methodology.
For those adventurous souls with a T-Mobile G1 you could check out the XDA Developers site to try out some hacking with your device. If you have any concerns at all about bricking your G1, then I do not recommend you try these methods and instead you should wait for the official T-Mobile G1 update.
UPDATE: I threw caution to the wind and went ahead and updated my T-Mobile G1 to Android 1.5. The on-screen keyboard is more useful than I thought it would be since it saves me from having to open up the G1 to enter quick text in search boxes, etc. Other things I have noticed so far:
- The on-screen keyboard supports haptic feedback (present as a toggle option)
- Video capture is supported natively
- Video playback is available in the Gallery application
- There is a quick overview view/toggle in the browser and the zoom buttons are MUCH better
- There is a filter when managing applications (All, Running, and Third-party)
Anyone update their device to 1.5?
