Boing Boing reader Meadhbh Siobhan says, "I got my G1 from T-Mobile a couple days early. Is it 'cause i'm a nice person? long-time t-mob subscriber? cause i submitted a bug fix for openbinder when i was working for PalmSource? ... who knows. but i documented the out of the box experience..."

What is this... Engadget? I'm surprised you didn't say that Blurrycam had struck again.

While I share Xeni's enthusiasm for Android, which I assume is why this was posted, the web doesn't need more "unboxing" pics or vids. It's become just another step of the PR cycle for hyped gadgets, and that PR cycle already has PLENTY of support from Engadget/Gizmodo/etc. BBG has mostly avoided them, to its credit, but yet here's a particularly pedestrian example on the main blog.
