T-Mobile wants to upgrade you so much, introduce u to some new things, that they've decided to wave their $18 dollar upgrade fee (that's a good thing). 

Here's the official press release: 

What's next, a cell phone that can take pictures from space?

The FCC has just approved the Samsung T929, a touch sceen handset with a 8-mega-pixel camera for use domestically. It records video at 30 frames per second at a 720 x 480 resolution, has FM radio, GPS, stereo Bluetooth and runs on 3G. 

If you love your Google Android, you might have to start loving it a little less overseas. T-Mobile has just released a statement addressing the issue of many of their T-Mobile G1 users who travel, getting stuck with huge data roaming charges, even when they try to shut the data roaming option off:

Well the name is kind of lame, but if your a T-Mobile customer or wanted to become one today (Saturday November 15), is the day to do it as T-Mobile has named today T-Mobile’s Customer Delight Day where you can stop by one of their participating stores and get free crap. Here's what they're offering:

So iSuppli who has become the export on this sort of thing have just released a study on the components cost of the new T-Mobile G1 and granted that's without labor costs, software, or research and development, but they've determined the phone costs about $144 for HTC to make.

Why is that significant? 

Google might have a "do no evil" moto but the question is who decides what's evil?

People reading the fine print of their T-Mobile G1 might be curious to find that, Google has installed a kill switch in their Android OS, meaning that any time Google sees fit, they can delete any application on your cell phone by remote. They can also kill you.

Tragedy struck after the official launch party of the T-Mobile G1, as after actress Bonnie Somerville left the party with a friend at 2am, a teenage black male came up to her demanding her purse. Somerville screamed, causing the man to shoot her friend in the lower back with a .22 handgun.

The suspect then demanded, "Bitch, gimme your purse or you'll get shot too!"

When I heard the news that preorders for The T-Mobile G1, the first phone to feature Google's Android OS, had sold 1.5 million copies I was shocked. 

When Marin Perez read the news he was shocked and suspicious. So he contacted Anders Byland of Motley Fool who wrote the article that originally quoted that 1.5 million figure and asked how he arrived at it.  

The T-Mobile G1 doesn't officially come out for another 10 days but if the preorders are any indication, and 1.5 million is a HUGE indication, than it looks like Google's Android OS and the G1 are going to make a big splash October 22nd.

That figure represents actual customer orders, not units shipping to retail.
