Well they have since placed up much better builds on XDA so i would certianly try it again. i now the earlier builds had wifi issues and so on but thats as well as the camera video recording and bluetooth have been fixed you have two versions to choose from the Google version and the HTC version. I say try it again and enjoy

I agree – the G1 interface is actually one of the most intuitive I’ve ever used on a device.
I never once looked at any manual, video, or anything. Loaded my sim card, switched it on, and everything just seemed to work naturally.
I hate the iphone UI. All the gay little apple bubbles. Blech.

You are lucky. I might have checked out a buggy revision from the source control. I couldn’t even get wifi to work.

No, you’re perfectly sane, for an Android geek that is. ;-)

Those two features would make mobile phones more intuitive to use thus making Android platform more future-proof. Those and better Bluetooth support.

Cheers!

Will this update allow flash to be installed and viewed on the phone?

I don’t know what you’re talking about. Maybe you’re programmed to adore everything that comes out of steve job’s chocolate factory. But the android UI is intuitive, simple (as much as can be with so many features), and beautiful.
The apple aesthetics is going out of fashion… with compiz on Linux and even Windows 7 now been considered as more beatiful than OS X. The iPhone cuadricule is going down the same road, I’m afraid.

Well im not sure what version of cupcake the previous user on this board was using but i have been using a version of the 1.5 build thats to XDA and its working flawlessly doesnt have anymore bugs in it then the stock OS version has. I’ve been using it for a week or more now and i will say this. My phone runs much much better. Its faster for one theres video, virtual keyboard, bluetooth stereo,youtube direct uploads, better gps, offical auto rotate, and not to mention Exchange support and this is naming a few of the improvements ive been happily surprised with. Im sure the official final version will have some minor improvements IE the circular zoom in the browser feature. But seriously credit to the developers and google becasue this is what the G1 shouldve been from the start . I can see allot of happy folks after the update I no im in love with this phone all over again.

I downloaded the code, built and installed cupcake a week ago. A couple of hours later, i had to rollback to the previous version. I will be really surprised if all the bugs and issues I faced will be fixed by the end of the month.

Google will be worse than “just the new Microsoft”.

It will know everything about you.

Stop using their products.

Hopefully they fix the crap UI. It’s terrible compared to the iphone. Google understands functionality but not sexyness. They need both to even come close to dethroning the iphone.
