The G-Mobile site is obviously swamped with orders.

Anyone else having issues getting to info about the phone on the Tmobile site? Keeps timing out for me.

I don’t get the keyboard placement of this phone. The bottom side of phone will get in the way when using keyboard.

turn.self.off: When asked at the event about supported Bluetooth profiles, the answer was handsfree/headset. I *suspect* that the device currently will only support HFP & HSP. Probably not a T-Mo decision, but that’s just an educated guess.

i seriously hope that the missing tethering is a t-mobile decision and not some limitation on the bluetooth support.

Fernando: This struck me as more of an industry unveiling than a product announcement. The focus on the ecosystem. The brief run-through of the device itself. It felt like a big geek-out session to me, which I enjoy but it doesn’t make for a good product announcement. I would expect a consumer-focused launch when the device hits the market.

It has PacMan so I’m sold! I noticed a few things that bother me, no tethering, no Exchange Support but I’m sure these will come via 3rd parties, although they did seem a bit cagey on the tethering bit.

Oh, and no desktop sync application.

Hmmm, why isn’t the G1 annoucement on T-Mobile’s web site? They should be publicizing this more visibly…

Simultaneous launch of G1 on both sides of the pond.

It’s G-Mobile.
