Yeah, I've lost all hope in Sony Ericsson

I went and bought a G1 with T-mobile today.

It's an excellent phone. I will never forget how badly Sony let me down by completely forgetting about the United States (AGAIN). This was supposed to be the phone that marked their reintroduction to the United States. If anyone else remembers the press conference for this phone's announcement, they promised the United States would not be disappointed and this phone was meant to bring them back in the US and regain them territory. It's too late for many people now, including myself.

I'm very satisfied with my new black G1. I have 14 days to return it with a $5 restocking fee just in case Sony announces the X1 for the US. I doubt i'll return it though, as my G1 works with T-mobile 3G, something the X1 wouldn't do.

Some of us are still hanging in there but the G1 is a great phone. I played with it at the T-Mobile store a couple days back.

But the Xperia can work with the t-mobile 3G if you have it available in your area.

Do you have any info suggesting this? Right now all signs are pointing to the negative on this..

All this talk about t-mobile and at&t....all I can say is, I'm frakking spoilt in HK. There hasn't been an area that i can remember in the last 3 years that doesn't have 3G, GPRS, or HSDPA access....

Both HK and Singapore have very strong GPRS, 3G and HSPA access, mainly because they are both small countries, high population and commercial densities, and very competitive TelCos at play (Singapore Telecoms, PCCW, etc.), and they follow EU/international GSM guidelines very closely. So the latest phones almost always appear in these 2 countries very early.

*sigh* I wish I lived in Hong Kong then.

T-mobile 3G has no support for the X1, as the X1 lacks the necessary 1700mhz band, used for T-mo 3G. I did a lot of research before I went with the G1, and to my disappointment, realized I couldn't use 3G if I got the X1.

I still wish the best for all X1 owners though. It is a great phone, I just got sick of the delays.
