T-Mobile G1 Owners Recieve a Update

Posted on 20 July 2009 by


I was on my way to work when my phone told me it needed a new update.  In checking around the web, I found Brighthand and Phandroid had both reported this as being a security update.  From further Googling, Ionut Arghire of Softpedia reports that the build number on your G1 should change from CRB43 to CRC1 if you have the update applied.  I received mine over the air with no issues.  My phone works just as good now as it did before.

This all is in preparation for the next version of Android, version 2.0 (code named Donut), and Softpedia says it’s still rumored to be coming out this summer.  Well, they had better get cracking as we’re past halfway through July.  I am not holding my breath, but I wait in anticipation for receiving the tasty donut.  Here’s hoping that it’s even more satisfying than the delicious cupcake that version 1.5 is!
