I’ve recently reflashed my T-mobile G1 with a hacked firmware version. This new version of the software grants full root access to the phone and lets you do some really cool things with it. For starters the customized release of R33 comes with a multitouch enabled browser as well as automatic tilt detection. In my observations the entire OS actually seemed to respond slightly faster than the official release. The real reason I decided to get root access on the phone was for the WiFi tethering ability. Once you have root access on your phone all you have to do is install a free app from the market place and tap a button. Suddenly I can share my 3G connection with my laptop (and all of my friend’s laptops as well). The guide on Gizmodo was very helpful, as was the guide on the XDA forums.

I got my first hands on experience with a G1 today, and I have to say that I like it a lot. I actually wrote this post on the phone. Hopefully by the time my contract with verizon expires I will have enough money to buy my own.
