T-Mobile G1 Looks like Christmas is in October for me this year. I’ll be looking for the new T-Mobile G1 to show up around the 10th of November according to the order information. Yeah, I couldn’t help joining over 1.5 million other new Android fans and preordered the phone last night.

I’ve been waiting for some time for the right phone to come along, and this may be it. For sure, it’s a whole new ballgame instead of Windows Mobile, BlackBerry, Nokia S60, iPhone, or Palm.

Let’s see… Google Maps integration, GPS, Push Gmail, Google & YouTube integration, 3G on T-Mobile (so I don’t have to change carriers), the Android Market, and integration with Amazon MP3 store. Too cool.

I’ll post on the device as I get it and share what I learn about it. Happy to have an exciting 3G smartphone on T-Mobile for a change. I’ve made my darn T-Mobile MDA last nearly 3 years!

tmobile-logo Stepping up to the plate in it’s community support role, T-Mobile on Friday announced its plans for supporting the areas targeted by Hurricane Gustav. In the press release, they shared the following:

  • Portable generators and the fuel to run them to power mobile cell sites.
  • Microwave equipment for back links in case of T1 outages to their cells and HotSpot locations.
  • Several Cells-On-Wheels to roll in and augment coverage as needed.
  • Monitor and work to maintain coverage and capacity on evacuation routes.

Overall a great example of corporate responsibility to their customers and communities they serve. You can read more about their efforts in preparing in their Friday press release.
