Oh sure, a few remarkably lucky and / or well connected individuals out there are yapping it up on a white T-Mobile G1 right this very moment, but for the most of us, coming across one is basically impossible; in fact, the white G1 isn’t even listed on T-Mobile’s website currently. TMO News has it that the lightest hue of the HTC-built handset isn’t expected to ship until at least the US Thanksgiving holiday, meaning that you’ve still got some serious time to kill before wrapping your paws around the increasingly enviable mobile. unverified information have been rampant that a paint chipping issue is at fault, and while we’ve yet to hear any confirmation of that, we have seen problems with white paint throw a wrench in the production plans of other mega-corps in the past. There’s continuously the black G1 + Colorware if you’re really impatient, you know.

White T-Mobile G1 not coming until after Thanksgiving? originally appeared on Engadget Mobile on Sat, 15 Nov 2008 23:44:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

We can’t help but wonder who these mysterious individuals are who get pre-release gear from carriers and manage — somehow — to sneak it onto ginormous, hugely visible auction sites without getting into any hot water. Not to say we’re complaining; after all, how else would we have the opportunity to see the Fuze’s retail box (strangely devoid of AT&T branding) and get a second confirmation that there’s plan to be a big ol’ AT&T logo slapped on the upper right corner of the face? Not to mention that this gives all us peasants the opportunity to scrape up and count the dimes that’ve collected underneath our couch, hoping beyond hope that we somehow have enough cash to place a bid. We never do, but we can dream.

We’ve been holding off on running this until we got confirmation from Samsung on just what was continue, and at this time we have it; it’s official, folks — the Instinct’s latest firmware update is all about the browser. To quote Sammy, “most of the traits of this upgrade focus on improving the Web browser experience,” and the word on the street seems to be in line with that with faster page loading and generally fewer crashes being reported across the board. As bes. we can tell, it doesn’t solve every last issue in the book, but it’s awesome to see that Sprint and Samsung seem to be staying on top of this stuff. Have an Instinct? Sound off on comments with your update experiences.
