I owned a G1 a couple of years ago when I was in high school. It worked great and has been BY FAR the best phone I''ve ever owned. Unfortunately, it got stolen and I browsed through each T-Mobile store to find it, but to no avail. Years later, imagine my surprise when I saw that it was on Amazon, at a great price, and NEW.I should''ve known better.The phone worked AT FIRST, but there were little things that wouldn''t work:1) The QWERTY keyboard had some buttons that would type itself when I didn''t even go near the letter in the first place (for example, I would press the letter "a" and the number "0" would join in after).2) The bluetooth wouldn''t connect to other devices.3) The time kept changing and I would constantly have to set it.I decided to deal with the phone--they were no big deal for me. The G1 was my dream phone. A week later, though, it just wouldn''t cooperate with me:1) The Home button wouldn''t work2) The phone wouldn''t ring or vibrate whenever I received a message3) The phone couldn''t receive calls4) Whenever I''d click the red button to lock the phone, when I''d press a button, it would automatically go to the desktop screen rather than the screensaver5) It''d turn off randomly, even when I was in the middle of typing6) It wouldn''t let me connect to wi-fi7) I couldn''t get on airplane modeAnd finally, 8) One time when I turned my phone back on after it turned itself off, a music sound that I NEVER DOWNLOADED or the phone DID NOT OWN (was not in the files whatsoever) played on my phone, and the phone would not turn off until I removed the battery (even though I continuously held the red button)I went to the T-Mobile store TWICE just to get the phone fixed, and after both times, I would still receive the same problems I just listed above a couple of days later. I asked them if they could perhaps replace the phone with another in the store, but they said only Amazon could do it.Here''s my advice: If you want to risk purchasing this phone, then I advise you to save your receipt and the box that it was stored in because of the possibility it may malfunction. The phone I had was defective, and in the end, wasn''t worth it.
