Humberto Saabedra

Following up on the launch of the G1 online and the early shipping of pre-ordered devices, T-Mobile has confirmed that it will roll out the first OTA update for the G1 beginning tomorrow into the end of the month in a similar pattern to SideKick updates.

This update will include enhancements and a bug fix that makes all songs from Amazon available while also fixing a corrupt file bug found when downloading songs over the air for preview.

The software version number can be found by hitting Menu > Settings > About phone > Build number.  The initial release version is RC19 with the updated software version being deployed as RC28 with all settings and apps being preserved after the update.
