are you going to sign up for like a free phone with att and just use the g1, ed? if you do sign up with median net which is 15 dollar unlimited data vs the 30 dollar one they sell for smart phones.

but some apps won't work w/ the medianet plan. my blackberry w/ the $15 medianet plan can't run google maps or all the other apps that came with the phone.

the only apps that work are gmail and the medianet browser.

i think that's just because it's blackberry.. with winmob everything work for medianet.. i haven't had a problem with it for almost a year now can't say it will be the same with android but set-up is still not like bb. so i don't foresee any issue with medianet and if there is, just go with the 30$ plan.

Verizon posts its first BlackBerry Storm firmware update

by Chris Ziegler, posted Dec 5th 2008 at 3:30PM
Lo and behold, Verizon's taken a break from releasing low-end Nokias for just long enough to officially release its first Storm update -- which just happens to be the same one that's been floating around on the interwebs for a few days now, 4.7.0.75. Anyone unwilling or unable to connect to their PC to nab the update can wait until 9:30 Pacific this evening, when it's said that an over-the-air version of the same software will hit the airwaves. Best of luck, upgraders!

Oh, snap! Out of seemingly nowhere, Google has revealed the Android Dev Phone 1, a SIM- and hardware-unlocked G1 designed to be sold exclusively to hard working developers. The handset ships with a system image that's fully compatible with Android 1.0, and obviously, it complies with any SIM card and can "flash custom Android builds that will work with the unlocked bootloader." In other words, the mobile should seriously appeal to devs who live far, far away from areas blanketed with T-Mobile coverage. In order to get one, you must first register as an Android developer on the Android Market site (which involves a one-time $25 setup fee); once you're in, you simply surf over and nail the "Purchase" link. For $399 (including free shipping in the US of A), this swanky G1 -- custom back and all -- can be yours, and it's scheduled to ship in 18 international markets soon. Would it be too much to yell "snap!" again?
