Actually, here, the highest you can pay for a sidekick is $179. I was talking about a G1. around $499  Forget that!!! The only thing stopping me is the number change, I love my number  How is it covered? Yeah, I dunno how much sks cost now 'cause I got mine a while ago but the price has gone down a lot. You could still have your old number. We had at&t before we switched to t-mobile and we kept our numbers.

Nah, I talked to the dude, told me no. This is like the 5th time I changed my number this year. Frustrating. Anywaz, I rem when SK used to be so expensive. LOL, during my senior year with the d****  , I rem. that only one boy had it. We used ooooh and ahhh on it.  500 dollars for GI? costly. Silk which did you want to get? sk or Gi?
Because it's so coolll, and ppl on the thread keep advising me to get it. With discount, it's $299, without discount, add $200 more  SK looked cool, but EX F/ Chiogo changed my mind abt it

Oh gosh! I guess it's because ours is a family plan. i didn't know the G1 is 500 bucks, it gotta be cheaper than that by now, it's been out for a while. A couple of my friends switched from sk to that, I'll find out how much it costs when you switch.

Maybe region discrimination  I hope hope they gimme a discount. . . .last time I left them, my bill was more than half a thousand from talking too much, texting too much, and browsing the net too much.  and oh yea, calling international (to Nigeria). So, things changed sha. @Hauwa. . . . You want this side kick?

Wrong on both counts. For internet connectivity you're talking about 3G or Wifi. No way will the mobile browser render pages as quick as desktop firefox, chrome or Safari 4. As far as i know, WLAN in the G1 is restricted to draft b & g, no n unlike most laptops and desktops.

Draft? B and G are fully implemented standards going out the window to make room for 802.11n! just about any smartphone these days is made for the internet. thats why we call them "smart' (mails, sync, mobile browsing, attachments etc). and there is no way a phone is going to be faster than its link, especially on a 3G network. what did you use for comparison? maybe your browser renders pages fast, that doesnt mean the phone hardware is faster on 3G than another phone on the same network under the same conditions. nah, if I had it, I wouldn't be asking abt it  Nah, saw it on the net  This will be my phone. . . . still waiting for EX F to give me the down low on it.like i said, ive never owned it, and i dont feel comfortable reviewing something ive never owned. i held the G1 only once on the train for the 40minutes ride and that was my total experience. frankly, i dont "get" what its all about. im not a google user so all that google integration means crap to me. i do read online that a new Android version (cupcake) is set to significantly bolster the phone's usability and appeal, but until then. . . might be a good idea to ask WHY you need it; what reason/feature is compelling enough to make you decide on this and forgo other (perhaps better) phones. that is, what is the opportunity cost? if you come up with a satisfying answer then by all means hand them your money.

i have compared the internet of the g1 to an iphone, a blackberry. . . . .then with the same sim, a nokia 5800 and a samsung tocco. . . .You can call the later crap phones but the have amost the same capabilities but the g1 beats every other phone's internet i have seen. . . .as you can see, my video up there demonstrates it. . . .Yes, there are other phones that wer made for the internet but my point here is the g1 is faster and will beat " an average Naija PC" it beat the 5800, a latest from nokia. . . . so why shouldnt i think its got the fastest internet. . .? i dnt wanto derail this thread but hardware plays an important role in how a phone operates with 3g in the same network and conditions. . . .
