T-Mobile USA denies April Cupcake update for G1

youtube_android_cupcakeAccording to Betanews, T-Mobile USA’s Erica Gordon denied that the company had any plans for a Cupcake related firmware update for the T-Mobile G1 in April, which is what Pocket-link.com quoted an unnamed source at T-Mobile UK as saying.

Gordon told Betanews that it was “just a rumor” and that she was not aware of T-Mobile International having any such plans.  It is worth noting, however, that she does not actually represent T-Mobile in any countries outside of the USA.

In the past, though, the UK and other countries have always received new firmware updates a week or two after the USA.  Considering U.S. based Google’s involvement in the G1′s development, it would not be a surprise if T-Mobile USA had the lead for development when it comes to T-Mobile’s various international units.

    If there is not an update, then there is no need for me to keep this phone or persuade others to buy one…It’s garbage WITHOUT the updates. Duh! Is this not common sense?

    I will feel cheated if i dont get this update soon. I chose the g1 over the iphone based on the cupcake release. These rumors develop from some where and it is a brilliant marketing strategy. Because of this the consumer should file a class action law suit. That should get there attention

    This phone has become a running joke in my office now. To use it for anything other than a phone function you better carry around your charger. A friend suggest I take his old nokia and tape it to the back of the g1 so he can call me again without getting my voicemail. If this update doesn’t come soon and at least diminish this problem then I am done with it. It can sit in my wall cabinet to remind me never to trust t-mo or google again.

    I totally agree with david. I chose the g1 being very hopeful and it has turned out to be a huge letdown. its a great phone, but there are just so many problems its hardly usable at times. it has become a joke with my family and friends as well. I don’t even mind not getting the cupcake update, I just wish they would come out with some update! its not like we don’t know the problems are there. this phone is becoming a brick really quickly.

    I used to ask my friends to get g1 when I first got it, told him how good it was… but, after two month of using it, I feel so embarrassing to let anybody know that I have to carry my charger almost everyday. I was reading the NYT on nyt.moble yesterday, plain text, and about a hour or so, my cell battery down from 85% to 34%. The battery bar turned red the afteroon, I was scared to answer phones on my cell, and I had to called them back from my offices phone.
    Athis news is so disappointed! I’ll not suggest anyone of my friends for to get a g1

    You all must be retarded. I can use my G1 (call, navigate, surf the web) and be just fine. Now I may have to charge it every other night but that’s fine. Either you guys don’t know how to exersize your battery or you’re just plain retarded. G1 contines to rock and will dominate once Flash is made (thanks to Bsquared) and the ability to save apps directly to the phone ( then we can get the groovy 2tb mini SD card that should arrive soon). And as for an onscreen keyboard… try sms chomp (which supports MMS now) and Open Home (skins, auto-tilt, onscreen key board for search widget) makes the phone more enjoyable.
