Heck, I wish this was my phone. I’m locked into AT&T for a bit longer (1 year) and need to investigate what it will cost me to take my family and leave them for T-Mobile. AfterDawn blog cites these updates to the firmware update to the Google Android G1 phone:
Coming with 1.5 is the addition of an on-screen keyboard. Users will be able to enter text while the phone is in portrait mode instead of having to rotate to landscape mode and open the keyboard. The new update will also add more Home Screen widgets including a widgets for the user’s calendar, a music player, and a picture frame.
The addition of video recording, as well as the addition of video playback support for MPEG-4 and 3GP, is a welcome addition for many whose biggest complaint is the lack of video recording using the built-in camera.
What? You think I should get an iPhone? NEVER! I will never get an iPHone and neither will my family. They had their chance to get my money and blew it for “policy” adherence. I immediately remembered why I dropped AT&T so long ago and switched to Cingular, then bemoaned AT&T’s acquisition of Cingular. My monthly bill goes up a little at a time…it’s a love-hate relationship with AT&T.
Sigh. Let’s just hope that after I switched, I won’t feel like the person who put this on the back of their vehicle:

Miguel: Have you elaborated in greater detail about your 'policy adherence' beef with AT&T? I'm curious to hear more background.

I have had Sprint as my service for over 2 years and their customer service sucks as well. I dont think its related to just one phone company, I think over all in America, customer service at every point has gone down hill!p.s. Im looking to switch to T-Mobile as well for that phone. Contract with Sprint ends in July!

You're in luck, Miguel. AT&T gets the Android in August, 2009. Be on the watch.

I can leave AT&T whenever I want and was thinking to switch to an iPhone. I am also curious about what do you mean by 'policy adherence'.T-mobile has great phones, it's the quality calls what worries me
