G1 for 30 Days

I've bought the G1 Android phone from T-Mobile in the U.S., and I have 30 days to figure if I wanna keep it.

If you have feedback, I'm at marc@disquiet.com.

By the way, this is my main website: disquiet.com. It's broadly about personal technology, but specifically to the extent that technology mediates music and sound and related art.

Countdown, 22 Days: Achieving Normal

A day packed with multiple-account email, web searches, and phone calls, all running smoothly. My issues with the G1 at this moment are whittled down to minor inconveniences (with the exception of the absence of tethering and doc editing, the former of which I’m going to attempt, and the latter is ont he way). Battery life still is substandard, but perhaps it’s balanced by the virtures of this incredible little machine. The RC33 build is working well, though its benefits have been largely transparent to me. Supposedly paid apps come next week. Good.

Here’s an example of a minor inconvenience: Far as I can tell, there’s no way to move an email from the inbox into another folder. Maybe it’s there, but I don’t see it.
