Have U.S T-Mobile G1

Hi, Guys

Being someone who does not like to wait for UK technology releases, I purchased a U.S G1 as soon as it was out. It's been a few weeks now and I have been trying to find a solution to put a UK firmware on it.

Currently I have not found any method of setting the regional or localization settings anywhere in the phone.

Secondly I have been having real problems recieving and sending MMS's, T-Mobile support have tried everything, creating new APN's, editing existing ones etc, without any luck. Funny thing is all Internet services work.

Any help would be greatful,

Thanks

You couldn't wait a week (or in fact less, assuming you bought one that was purchased in America on the 23/10)? Wow that is Impatient. As for your problem, the only way around it would be to completly wipe the device and install the uK version, but i don't know how this would be done and I still think you would have problems getting the updates. I've seen posts from other people who have US G1's outside the US and they have reported recieving US updates (they are not even on T-mobile) so it must be something on the phone that designates what type of update it gets.
