Hmm, i suppose. Can anybody upload a picture they've taken with it?
Yeah. Hers has been hit and miss with the push since she got it. Wondering if it needs an update. What version should it be on?
What are the advantages of the custom ROM, and is it easy enough to do?
I've got her old G1 sat here I'm playing with too.
The custom rom is easy enough to do.I know bugger all about this sort of thing and I got it working fine.
The rom just gets rid of all the t-mobile rubbish.As i'm not on t-mobile it's no good to me.
I've had the phone a few weeks now and it's definitely the best phone i've had.

Anyone else not had their credit topped up? I was under the impression that we'd get our free texts and internet today?

Anyone upgraded from android 1.5 software?
I'm interested in getting one of these as it does seem a good price for what is an android phone with a good capacitive touch screen. I'm just wondering if anyone has had any particular problems or if this has any known faults apart from the terrible camera?
Only actual real fault is the screen can be quite unresponsive if your not holding the phone, ie its lying on a table etc, some phones seem to suffer more than others and people have resorted to placing foil in the back cover which touches the usb socket, this fixes the issue.
I personally don't find it much of a problem.

Only if t-mobile provide an upgrade to eclair which they are rumored to do so....but wouldn't surprise me if they didn't.
It's looking increasing unlikely that the modding community will come up with a cooked aclair rom as they can't get donut working properly as it is.

I had seen a report that T Mobile in Holland will provide an upgrade to 2.0 but not sure when that will be (or if it will actually happen).
I've been using my Pulse as my main phone for a while and overall I like it. I've unlocked it for my O2 sim, put the December update on it, and then put the MoDaCo custom ROM on. Not sure if it runs much faster as I can't remember how it ran originally but I didn't have any problems with it then.
- The screen can sometimes be unresponsive round the edges
- The camera is quite bad (but I didn't buy it for that, so that's ok with me)
- Battery life is not great - lasts about 36 hours on very light use.
+ Asewome value (cost me £90!)
+ Easy to use
+ Android apps are great
+ Apart from the edges, the screen is quite good
There may be more significant negative points to the positive points, but for me the Android apps make the difference. I got this for £90 as a go-between phone until the Bravo comes out, and it's been well worth it for me. Before I got this, I couldn't decide between an iPhone and Android phone, but now the choice is clear.
Note - this is my first Android phone, so I can't compare the above points to other Android phones or the iPhone. My last phone was the N95 8Gb which I didn't like.
