    Unlocked T Mobile G1 - Android 1.5 - Cupcake over the air update

    Last week, my unlocked T Mobile G1 (running on the Fido network in Canada) did an automated over the air update to the latest Android OS - 1.5 "Cupcake".

    Major difference is the onscreen keyboard, which is a great feature to be added to this device, making quick text messages, and responses easy the bash out one handed style, without having to open up the keyboard.

    The other detail, which will stop people that have unlocked their phones (at least on the Fido network) from freaking out - is that the little roaming icon on the reception bar - is no longer there when you your local area!

    In other Android Canada news, unconfirmed by myself, looks like the Rogers G1 has a custom Android OS that is without the on screen keyboard, but it get 3.5G radios that work on the Rogers / Fido network here in Canada.
