Full hardware keyboard in a present-day smartphone is rare. Manufacturers of smartphones are going to make as thin phone as possible.

HTC Dream is not thin, but for this great keyboard, who cares!

G1 was my first Android experience. I really liked it. Although I have switched to Desire S, I still have good, old G1 in my desk drawer. It was still pleasure to use it again when my Desire broke and I needed to send it for repair. I'm never going to sell my G1.

Maybe it's not powerful phone, but thanks to developers, we have huge number of custom ROMs (personally I think that 1.6 is the best for G1).

Easy to root, to flash custom ROMs, It's cheap (in PL you can buy used for 200+ PLN - it's about $60). I think that's why it's still supported by developers.

I'm not a developer, just custom ROMs user, but testing and finding best ROM for me as user is a nice thing to do. Now I am using my G1 for chatting on jabber when lying in bed.

I wonder what are unusual uses of old Dream? Maybe PC Remote?
[G1 General] cwwilson721:
UPDATE

Still using my G1 as my "main" phone (Actually, my only phone).

Running CronMod's GB Rom, and very happy.

My "not thin" G1 is freakin' HUGE with the extended battery and big back cover. As a plus point, I have NEVER "lost" it in seat cushions. Plus, the thickness makes it easier (for me) to hold.

I love all the apps available, from XDA Developers, to the HP Printing app.

About the only real thing I do not like is Netflix is pure hell on this phone. Not netflix's problem. The lack of horsepower really shows up with this app.
[G1 General] frankdrey:
I use this as my main phone :P

I use Enomther's Donut ROM.

I got it for $10 :D

I use the phone all the time for IRC. Is that unusual?:P
[G1 General] phonetool:
My mother in law gave me an old G1. I already had a Droid 1 on Verizon at the time and didn't want to change phone or network.

Still, it was fun to root it and put CM6 on.

That was about a year ago. I know a bit more about ROMs now and just now thought to look around xda for more information. Wow! I am surprised that you guys are still working on it!

Wish I could find the bugger. It got packed up somewhere for a move.

[G1 General] raik0:
$10?! Really cheap... ;)

IRC use? I don't think it's unusual. Now I'm using G1 with SIM with pre-paid mobile data transfer. Nice for chatting and quick-writing posts on xda or other forums.

I'm getting one tomorrow for $15. I wear gloves at work and my gnex won't pick up my touches. So it's a pain to remove my gloves everyone I want to text.

[G1 General] joeythesaint:
For me it started off being the perfect combination of QWERTY keyboard and would work with my carrier. Now, though, it's the ease of use. Rooting it was no trouble, there's a huge variety of mods with a wide range of features v. performance options and even thought I've tried other QWERTY phones, I still love this keyboard better than any other. Plus, any time I need to replace something on mine, there's no shortage of ones kicking around for spare parts. They're the Jeep Wrangler of android phones, if you want to keep yours running, it's ridiculously easy. Love that.
[G1 General] mr.pnutt:
For me it's because it's like my first love. We've had our ups and downs but, I still love the way she/it didn't just break down. Taking her shopping for the next best thing[flashing new ROMs]. Noticing how sexy she looks in that new outfit [again flashing new ROMs] and showing people that she gets better with age.:D:D. Damn, I need to stop hanging out in these xda forums.lol.:eek:
[G1 General] cwwilson721:
go outside!
[G1 General] Alex2221:
I have to totally agree with you!

Altough I recently betrayed her, when I bought my new Captivate Glide, you'll never forget for first time you 'did' it. (flashing roms of course)
[G1 General] cwwilson721:
Sad news...

Due to me having to switch carriers (data speed here w/T-Mobile is GPRS. All others here are 3G+. But AT&T has best coverage), I had to get a 'new' phone.

Wife said I had to sell my G1. :crying:

So I did. It has found a new happy home in PA. (Plus, even with the new battery/etc, I made money!...lol)

So, now I have a AT&T Avail (ZTE-Z990). No ROMs worth anything (yet). No real mods

Sigh.

But I have 3G data...lol
[G1 General] demkantor:
you could have picked up a rogers g1, it has the radio bands for 3g data for at&t. and, in a way, it looks cooler than the standard g1
[G1 General] frankdrey:
I took the bottom buttons bar out of my Rogers and put it into my Tmobile just because it looks so much better :D
[G1 General] LesserAnimal:
I miss the **** out of this phone. I need to look for one as a fun secondary device
[G1 General] PowieT:
G1 ..... still has the best keyboard in the universe.....

miss it :cowboy:
[G1 General] haiser:
Absolutely! I have an Milestone 2 with poor keyboard (always fails)
[G1 General] joeythesaint:
For me it's easy. The big things are:

Size -- it fits very comfortably in my largish hands but it's not overly bulky

Keyboard -- What can I say, I'm a junkie for real qwerty keyboard and the G1 feels very nice to type on

Cool -- Yeah, it really is a pretty cool phone considering what it is

Everyone else -- The fact that the phone still sees a bit of life after all this time keeps me coming back to it.

I am looking to buy one on craigslist here. Two on there.

I want it because it was the first android phone. I'd stick cm7 on it and keep it forever.

i still have around 30 g1s left (used to refurbish and resell them) pm me if anyone is interested i feel its time to get rid of them except for a few for development purposes
[G1 General] phonetool:
LOL 30!

I was gonna say I have my wife's old one. I have just popped a new battery in it and play around with CM6 on it. Next to useless for us. Still have the original box and all.

Guy wants 75 for it. But I could get it for 50.

[G1 General] demkantor:
Yeah I know it sounds crazy but to think just a year ago I was selling refurbished rooted phones for 125$ each and having sold around 60 of them (along with lots of other phones) I've already made my money back and willing to drop them fairly cheap. And if anyone wants to buy in bulk even cheaper!

But I don't want to seem like I'm using xda to sell of my goods so ill leave it at that
[G1 General] phonetool:
Yah, the couple I found on Craigslist here in Seattle are offered for $50-60.

I was thinking about putting it in the car as a homemade tracker on a pay-as-you-go plan. But then I'm afraid the GPS is too weak or slow to respond like I'd like.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] amswak:
Hi All,

Today I noticed the Gorilla Glass starting to come unglued on the sides. I am assuming this is due to the curvature of the glass, as in when it was made it probably didn't completely conform to the shape of the phone's body and the glue they used couldn't hold it down.

The reason I am posting is because this causes a problem. I love this phone and right now this is only a minor defect, but over time it will grow. Dust will also start to get under the glass, which is an insult to the beautiful display.

So why don't I just exchange it, you ask? well, thank you Apple for answering that question: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2404490,00.asp

I went to the AT&T store tonight to exchange it - they are out of both white and grey and they confirmed this article to be true through a notification in their systems. Meaning no inventory to exchange it with, and no ETA for new units.

I had them put a "priority" comment in my user account and exchanged contact info with the store manager. He said extending the 30-day exchange period tp whenever they get new inventory would be no problem since I have it documented on my account as happening now, as long as there is no additional damage when I bring it in (knocking on wood as I type this).

There is nothing to be done here, I just wanted to give others a heads up...

So now that we're gonna get the $#!+ end of the stick I think it would be nice to throw up our awesome data usage stats for fun.

So lets see what you got . Here's mine :)

Edit**

For those that really blame the end user click this

http://www.savetheinternet.com/blog/11/11/18/att-verizon-and-other-telecom-tax-dodgers

This is what I know. Verizon pays no taxes and got back $760 million in refunds last year. I'm sure with the money they make they can use the free $760 million to maintain their network for us O.G. customers.

God bless America.

Agreed. I just hope if they pull our unlimited, they give us much higher caps on the new plans. 10GB's would seem reasonable to me.

People who complain go somewhere else and do it not here. If you don't have unlimited data its not the rest or our faults. I pay for it so I will use it how I wish to. So don't make smug comments. Its not us its Verizon greed.
[HTC Rezound] young0ne:
IM with him on this one
[HTC Rezound] andrewp3481:
Ummm..I have a plan. It has unlimited data. I use it as I wish. Same with texts. If I pay for unlimited then I get unlimited. Since you want to play the Blame game...lets play.

People who use less than 2 gb are the reason we're getting our unlimited data taken away. They show Verizon that only 2gb is needed.

See how dumb I sound?
[HTC Rezound] Po1soNNN:
Just saying though, like 35 gigs is enough data for at least 150 average users. I mean seriously how do you get that much. I have 4gbs limit and I try to use it as much to get the worth but I can't even get to like 2
[HTC Rezound] taptaptouch:
Netflix, youtube, google music, pandora, rom downloads, facebook, google currents reading daily. Not that hard to average 20gb a month
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
Shut up.

Verizon's greed is the reason we're losing our unlimited data. They're still making money hand over fist.

I'm currently at about 8gb.

The other line's on my account:

6gb

140mb

170mb

There are many, many more 200mb a month users than 10+gb a month users.
[HTC Rezound] billybob275:
Wow, and I thought I was a heavy user. I'll use about 10-15 gb per month if I'm having to work on the road. Only about 4-6 gb if I'm working from the office or home. Personal best was 21 gb.
[HTC Rezound] SteveG12543:
Here's mine. 99% of the time I'm on wifi, so here's wifi usage too.

[HTC Rezound] ijustwantmydock:
I would use WiFi if I could actually do anything on it
[HTC Rezound] young0ne:
Im sorry if we are in the top 1% that uses over 2 gigs im guessing we slow down 108.7 million people on verizon network. you sound like crazy if you think at least 15 million people use over 2 gigs out of 108.7million people slow a network down. you tell me if they are doing just beczuse of us I think not.
[HTC Rezound] SteveG12543:

[HTC Rezound] RKight:
Since my cycle restarted on the 11th, I've used a combined total of 995mb on WiFi and mobile. I took advantage of the double data deal to get 10gb per month for $50 but it seems I'm never able to go over about 7gb a month. I only used maybe 200mb or so streaming Rhapsody for six hours the other night. I don't do much Netflix on my phone because if I'm at home, I use my tv for that. If I'm away from home, I'm usually at work, or with friends, so I have no reason to use it. I'd drop my plan down a tier but I get a 17% discount through my employer and the discount doesn't apply to the next lower tier, so I'd only save a small bit by switching it.
[HTC Rezound] BreatheALittle:
So far I've used 611.15MB, and my cycle ends 6/7/12.

I use Google Music, Netflix, iHeartRadio, Pulse, Twitter, XDA, among a slew of other internet sites, apps, and widgets, and am usually using my 4G because wifi at my house is sporadic at best. What possibly gets you guys into the GB usage?? (not knocking it, just honestly curious)

Average 10-12 month. I average more if we get a lot of thunderstorms. My home internet cuts out every time we have a lightning strike. So I tether to my Xbox and watch Netflix. An hour movie uses 1-2gb of data. 3-4 thunderstorms a month, and I already doing 6+gb data. Not counting everything else.

[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
we can complain all we want to as long as we stay on topic. But thanks mod-wanna-be

I'm guessing its more torrents and tethering than anything else. Those that tether and don't pay for it are probably a big reason for the change. Verizon knows they are doing it but can't prove it, so take it away from everybody.

wow, your analogy sucks. For that to be the case, they would have to change your data plan mid-contract and they are not doing it.

As for my data, I used almost 10gb, it's a combo of streaming, downloading roms, and jelly wars.
[HTC Rezound] tpulu:
I was late top the VZW party, so I missed out. But if I had unlimited, I'd most likely be hitting at least 40 GB a month... If you pay for unlimited, you use it...that's how I see it.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
Personally, I would laugh if verizon were to be more stringent on this policy:

Verizon Wireless strives to provide customers the best experience when using our network, a shared resource among tens of millions of customers. To help achieve this, if you use an extraordinary amount of data and fall within the top 5% of Verizon Wireless data users we may reduce your data throughput speeds periodically for the remainder of your then current and immediately following billing cycle to ensure high quality network performance for other users at locations and times of peak demand. Our proactive management of the Verizon Wireless network is designed to ensure that the remaining 95% of data customers aren't negatively affected by the inordinate data consumption of just a few users.

I would have had unlimited, which I did on my old phone. But, I had a 5 year old plan, so they wouldn't let me keep it. I had to upgrade my plan to 4gb. :'(

You know what Im not going to really blame anyone but the people who bought an iPhone. I just realized that this happened when the iPhone came around correct me if I'm wrong. What I heard was they didn't have the bandwidth because of so many iPhone users. same thing happened with at&t.
[HTC Rezound] ijustwantmydock:
Yep at&t was the first to get the iPhone first to get rid of unlimited data. Verizon got the iPhone next then got rid of unlimited shortly after. Sprint has it but their 3g is slow as hell so that's why they haven't gotten rid of it yet. Verizon is obviously preparing for the onslaught of iPhone user that will be getting iPhone 5s and they will use a lot more data than before.

[HTC Rezound] snowman122:
man i was looking through the whole thread and i really need to slow down on my netflix im literally on it on my phone and wii 24/7 last month i had 160gb this month so far im at 60gb!!

hey im getting what i paid for more speed less buffering and more time to watch more netflix or hulu!
[HTC Rezound] andrewp3481:
I think I could do 4gb.

I download all the roms I use on my phone. Plus I use hulu and Netflix, and YouTube alot. I guess if I stopped downloading roms that would cut my 13gbs down alot.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Downloading roms over LTE is just wasteful honestly. You should put them on your PC anyway to check the MD5 and so you can edit the zip yourself before you flash.

Hulu is the lamest service ever lol.

YouTube is understandable.

Netflix is my only data suck too. If you set your netflix to use only 100mb per hour and switch your phone to 3G you won't end up using that much data per hour. So at that rate you get about 41 hours of Netflix per month on the 4GB plan which should be plenty in all honesty.
[HTC Rezound] I Am Marino:
What do you mean set Netflix to only 100MB a hour?
[HTC Rezound] pwned3:
I haven't seen that option
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Go into your account on a computer and set the streaming quality to the lowest setting. It tells you the per hour use of each setting
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
My wifi can pull about 20 down, but that gets split by about 8 devices. I use 4g at home, but if I lose unlimited, I would use the home wifi. I'm on a 30 down/5 up plan.

If you are not paying for tethering then that is sad. If you are going to use that much, you should pay for it.

If you are paying for tethering, then knock yourself out.

yeah, I remember reading that canada required that since their home internet is capped pretty ridiculously.
[HTC Rezound] blackhand1001:
You should still use your wifi. Mobile data connections have much higher pings than a home connection. This increases loading time even if the download speed is higher.
[HTC Rezound] snowman122:
i do pay for tethering thats the only way i have an open nat for my ps3 and certain apps and wifi tether did not do that for me on 3g i havent tried 4g i see no use at least yet so far!

[HTC Rezound] xXJay_RXx:
See here's my data speeds now. Compared to how fast it was when LTE launched, its pretty slow now which is understandable lol
[HTC Rezound] xXJay_RXx:
And to stay in topic, I guess you can say I am a moderate user compared to you guys. 4GB and only 13 days into my cycle.
[HTC Rezound] I Am Marino:
Speaking of data usage, for anyone who uses their 4G to tether to Xbox Live, anyone know how to open their NAT? I get moderate when I tether so it screws up my matchmaking a bit.
