Sprint has commented on their future with Android this week. Sprint CEO Dan Hesse, told the media that Android is not (yet) good enough for the Sprint name. This certainly comes as a surprise to us as Sprint is one of the founding companies of the Open Handset Alliance (OHA). Android Community shared an unlocking video with their members and decided to hold a contest with 3 unlock codes as prizes in celebration of the event.

Rumors that Wal-Mart would soon carry the G1 in their stores spread like wildfire this week. Despite Wal-Mart claiming that they were only rumors, the story turned out to be true. In no time at all people spotted the G1 in store desplays. Motorola’s Co-CEO Sajay Jha stated on a Q3 earnings conference call that there will be no Android-powered handset released by them untill Christmas season.On October 30th residents of the United Kingdom were able to finally get their hands on the T-Mobile G1. The UK however got a few changes that the US did not receive, the G1 in the UK comes in either Black or White while the Us only got the Black and Bronze version of the G1. Other differences in the UK release is the price, you can purchase it overseas for free with a 2 year agreement, also the G1 comes a 2GB MicroSD card as opposed to the 1Gb that we received.

A week ago Google sent out the RC28 update only to quickly recall it because of security flaws. A few days later Google sent out a new RC29 with an added security patch that supposedly fixes and browser security issues that were present. It appears that more and more of our users receive this update ever day but the bulk of them have yet to receive it. The update process is very easy, all you must do it accept the update and let the phone do its thing. For those who are two impatient to wait there is a way to update your G1 with a MicroSD card. However this may cause you to loos your datat and is not recomended. TechOn was brave enough to disect the G1 the other day and reported that the roll ball is the same as the one in RIM’s Blackberry handsets. Aside from that the inside of the G1 is white. We had not ideat that the G1 is painted.
