We got 24 here at a corp store in Houston, we've sold 3 so far, all upgrades from Sidekicks.

No surprise there. If there's no marketing then people won't know about it unless they are techy and kept an eye on the G1's progress. The phone doesn't look great but the software is amazing. After using the iPhone, Android is so much better.

I ordered one during the preorder, just got it last night. So far I am very impressed. I'm coming from an N95 and and E71, so I think that says a lot as both of those are very impressive devices.

Android isn"t really being done justice by the G1 in my opinion. It's like HTC made a phone light on normal features hoping Android would save it.

I can agree the IPhone can't scan any barcode and tell you where you can get it for the cheapeset price and the IPhone cant call the closest taxi cab for you when you are wasted and the Iphone cant display the actual street view as if you were really there doing a 360 not a Iphone hater because I have one but this G1 phone has some sick apps and features so if you ask me which one I will keep or if you have something rude to say about my opinion you are a true a idiot

They sent out tons of promo material, posters, a banner, cardboard cutouts for the store and the sidewalk, lots of in-store displays. Out of the 24 we got, we sold 6 via upgrades and 2 for new lines from Verizon customers and 1 for a new line from a Sprint customer. It's the lack of TV and web ads, probably. The customer who came over from Sprint was a little worried about the young 3G network here in Houston.

id say theres a good chance youll be able to run android on that soon enough anyway. sprints 3g coverage, and coverage in general, has been great for me in nyc

Android on the Pro or HD would work just fine for me...otherwise will have to see what Android phones Sprint drops in Q1 or 2 of next year unless some sucesfully loads in on the Instinct

Sprint seems to like Microsoft and Live Search a little too much. Google may not sign with them,but my info is a little out of date.

Live Search is the only feature I would like to carry over to an Android device but I doubt that will happen. Sprint will be launching an Android phone at some point. The question is when and what. BGR reported that they will release it before Christmas but I don't see that happening but would love for Sprint to prove me wrong.
