So I’ve been using this thing for a few days now and I really like it.
I’ve found that Cyanogenmod causes my phone to be a bit unstable, and the music program wasn’t working at all. I’ve restored my phone to the v1.6 developer Android OS for now.

So I found this great application for managing your blog from an android phone. I’m trying it out right now. We’ll see how things look after.
An Android user that is.
I’ve picked up the T-Mobile G1, unlocked it, enabled it on Fido and I have to say that it’s a pretty nice phone.
A word of warning to my fellow Fido customers. If you buy any smartphone without a data package, Fido won’t allow you to hang yourself by using data. They actually prevent you from using data a-la-carte and you must get a plan.
This means you need a data plan for at least one month to use a G1 on Fido. You need access to GPRS/EDGE at very least to log into Google using your Google account. I used my GMail account to log in.
After that part of the process the phone is completely under your control, but until you log into your Google account, you can’t even make a regular phone call. You can only make emergency calls.
Fido GPRS APN Settings:
APN: internet.fido.ca
Username: fido
Password: fido
You can safely leave the rest of the settings default. Oh and in case you need to know how to get into the APN settings menu, press the MENU button and select APN Settings from the menu which appears.
