Two weeks with the T-Mobile G1

I finally called T-Mobile today and asked them to fix the fact that my G1 freezes once per day where I have to reset by removing the battery. They had me power the phone off, then hold home and the red button for 25 seconds to get the triangle display, then Alt+L and then Alt+W. Then reboot with Home+Back. We'll see if this fixes the issue. If so, that indicates that loading apps may be causal with respect to these hard freezes in the OS - a disturbing conclusion. If not, AFAIC, the phone is going back. I won't be surprised if the apps are an issue, my wife hasn't had a single lock, and the only difference I can identify, save for usage, is the apps load.

Funny thing is that I love the phone. It's like carrying a lightweight laptop around in your pocket. I could go on and on about how much more useful it is than my sidekick. And it's a great phone - dropped calls are largely a thing of the past.

Speaking of apps, check out connectbot - an SSH client for google android, and arguably the best ssh client I've seen on any platform.
