So where can I buy this phone? How much is it?

Rochelle · 17 years ago

To those who are already using their G1s: i just bought my own G1
phone from the US 3 wks ago and itâ€™s been sitting in my drawer
since. i can’t use it :( i had it unlocked already, but it canâ€™t
get access to the internet and would always say i have a problem
with my sim (iâ€™m using SMART). i can’t figure out the APN settings.
i think i need to set it manually but i don’t know how. if anybody
knows how i can activate and finally use my G1 phone, pls be an
angel and email me at jo****@yahoo.com..i will very much appreciate
it. thanks:)

Android phones are expensive because the OS has high CPU and memory requirements, just like Windows Mobile and iPhone OS.

Almost all of the Android phones that will be marketed in the future are still gonna be expensive! If only some company would create a cheap yet feature-full one, I’d buy from that company just to try out Android.
