Hey Gina,

Is now a good time to get the Android or should I wait? Is there another upgrade I should wait for? Thanks for helping.

I already have a phone with T-Mobile and want to move over to the android- how would I go about doing that? Would they make me redo the contract? What steps would I have to take? Thanks!

@BFKelleher – Sprint won’t work because the G1 is GSM

@Gina – just got through following your advice on this one: it worked like a charm!

Has anybody tried it with a Sprint SIM? If so, does 3G work?

So who gets your old iPhone now?

Gina – T-Mobile uses 1700MHz, the so-called “AWS” frequency. AT&T uses 850MHz and 1900MHz, so no, the G1 will NOT run at 3G speeds on AT&T’s network.

Hope your battery isn’t dying as fast as mine is. Charging has become a daily occurrence, and it saddens me.

Does the G-phone have all the apps that iphone has?

AT&T 3G is incompatible with G1. The reason behind that is the T-Mobile 3G operates on the AWS spectrum (1700-2100 Mhz) while AT&T utilizes, if recall correct, the 850Mhz and 1900Mhz band.

I have a Sony Ericsson phone with AT&T service. Can I use the SIM card from that phone as described above?
