Do you have to use the new Sim Card with the G1, or can you just use your old sim?

I received my new G1 at 3:46pm Oct 20, 2008 EDT. I placed my order on the first day ordering was available - Sept 23. I'm still exploring all the stuff on the phone and some of the downloaded apps. Really cool!

That's never been the case for me. This is my 6th new phone with T-Mobile in 8 years and they have never sent me a new SIM card. The only time I got a new SIM card was when I moved from Michigan to Illinois and changed my number so it would be local, then I had to get a new SIM because they're locked to regions or something. They couldn't just change the number, the SIM card had to be changed, too.
Other than that, though, I've had the same card. When I had my phone number changed they said they could not send me a new SIM because they do not have them, that the stores have the SIM cards. That's what I had to do, drop by a store and pick up my new card.

That's weird. All the phone's we've gotten had a sim card in the box. Even on corporate accounts.

Got mine last night... came via UPS yesterday. I love it but man, location based stuff is a huge battery killer

As my friend said tho, "Why do you need to know that you're at home?"

i got back from lunch and THEN got the confirmation that it was delivered to the house, so I drove over and picked up it. So far...i'm thoroughly impressed. Very comfortable to work with. Gonna fiddle tonight. I dropped by a few stores in the mall today to find a decent leather holster for the belt...and everyone was like "OMG! DUDE...YOU HAVE THE G1?!?!?!" Yah...I had to gloat.

Mine is here, but it won't connect to Google. What a bummer. I'll give it 24 hours then back it goes.

EXTREMELY RUDE service people at T-Mobile couldn't help at all.

I had the same problem and I called the customer service rep early in the morning, and she just did something with the settings on her end everything was good.

Mine rolled up about 1:30 this afternoon, and I spent the next hour getting nothing done but play with the phone!
Hooked right up to gmail, figured out how to pull down my SIM stored contacts, connected wifi, activated bluetooth...
Oh damn. There's a problem. I was able to activate and pair to my Plantronics 655, but it doesn't seem to work. Can't initiate or receive calls with it. Clues?

Otherwise, I'm starting to develop my wish list - like a GPS trace, exportable to .gpx, of course; a much better music player. Whatever you think about Apple, iTunes just works.

BTW, there's a peel ply shipping skin on the display. I'm going to leave it there until I order some additional ones.

Okay, so I'm an idiot, I admit it.

If anyone else has the problem I did - can't connect to google servers - put in your OLD SIM, not the one sent with the kit.

Duh. But wow, this is a nice phone.

The T-Mobile people are HIDEOUSLY uninformed and RUDE. I am switching my service after the 90 day unlock period for that reason alone.

I did an end-run around T-Mobile and their stupid "you didn't order in time so you have to wait until Nov 10" and got one at the store! Haven't really had too much time to play with it, but I did get it set up!

I don't know if I missed it anywhere but I did anyone know that the G1 comes with a 1GB micro SD card installed already? It might be old news but for some reason I didn't remember reading that anywhere.
