Yep. We know we've jumped the gun before in our announcement of a T-Mobile sanctioned Android 1.5 Cupcake rollout (and we were wrong) but this time, it looks pretty certain that Android 1.5 Cupcake is FINALLY officially hitting G1 users in the US.
We personally couldn't wait for T-Mobile to roll out to our G1, choosing to manually install it ourselves. Is anyone still waiting for Cupcake via T-Mobile? Let us know! (And let us hope that this is for real, for real!).
thanks everybody for letting us know!

Just got my update here in houston at 5am Yay! Way to wake up? Only thing is now I can't download ringtones from myxer anymore. Anyone with answers?
Got the update but how do you get access to the onscreen keyboard??
T-mobile User still waiting for cupcake!
Still waiting in Brooklyn.
Got mine PM Saturday. Los Angeles
Got mine early AM in Boston :)
I haven't really had a chance to explore it but the on screen keyboard is what I've really been waiting for.
It's also great to be able to check boxes next to your email to delete a bunch at once!
I'm in Houston as well, but no update yet.
Yeah, I kinda got my phone taken in school so its dead right now, but when i turned it on for 3 minutes it didn't have an update. So, as of now nothing for the columbus ohio area.
My phone started downloading something about 10 or 11 last night, not sure if it was cupcake, how will I know? the notification bar looks diffrent, but I am still not sure if it is cupcake, please help.
Thanks
Ningie
Go to Menu, Settings, About Phone. If "Firmware Version" is 1.5, you've got it
What is this???
I got my cupcake in tampa at about 11pm Friday night.. whoop whoop
Still waiting in Tampa, hope its worth it after all the hype!
Dude you meed to check the orientation box ont the "sound and display" menu options from system settings. While your add it check the animation scheme too its pretty cool.
I live in Northern Fla...I just got Cupcake about 10 minutes ago. Fast download and install...took maybe five minutes. Camcorder is there...a new icon in the menu. It's not great...same blurry weirdness that the still shot cam has...but, it's video, and in a pinch, I'm glad I have the option now.
The on screen keyboard is not great, for me. I thought from the leaked info about this, it would orient itself if you turned the phone sideways (ala iphone)...but alas, it does not. In fact, I can't even get it to come up when the phone is sideways...but I'll keep playing with it.
Anyway...just to let someone know who actually cares...it IS rolling out!
You need to check box the orientation option for it to auto rotate, I read that somewhere, you need to go into your menus next to it there is also a check box for animated menus or something. It is not on by default.
how do i get the upgrde, u i just bought the g1 (6/24/09)
I got it here in the Orlando Florida area.
Portland oregon no cupcakes yet
I am in orem, ut, 30 min outside of salt lake, got it this morning
I live in Salt Lake City Utah and i still have no update is it supposed to hit everybody today?
I am in Columbus, Ohio. My wife got her Cupcake at 4:40 this morning. Google's roll-out plan seems random seeing as though HAM is in Columbus and has not received the update yet.
C'mon, T-Mobile. Release your 3G network in Columbus!
Jacksonville,fl I had a friend receive his but I have yet to receive mine
Hurry up Tmobile I'm waiting and while your at it throw in the 3g
You need to go to system update and download it with a wi-fi connection and install it. Got it in Minneapolis today.
Still no update in Chicago as of 5/29
Chicago. My bother got the update around 8:15 am but I'm still waiting. From what I've already seen I must say its worth the wait.
in Orlando and still do not have cupcake :(
you can get in chicago if you're connected to wi-fi. i just downloaded it. it took about 5 minutes.
nothing in Northern VA :(
Got mine last night around 6ish pm. I live in California in San Jose. I bought my G1 2nd hand and was worried that I wouldn't get the update. I talked to Tmobile support and was told that if the IEMI was registered with Tmobile the system I would get the update notification. I downloaded the ~28MB update using WiFi. After several reboots I was up and running and my existing data on the phone was not impacted as far as I can tell.
I'm in Philadelphia, it's 11:25 am local time, and no update yet.
Download in Mobile came 2 nights ago...
Got my cupcake yesterday morning at 5 AM. I'm in denver,co. Its pretty koo, no more lil android guy on the startup screen tho.
I'm in NYC, BROOKLYN, 11.47 AM. No CUPCAKE yet.

Houston, I got my update around 7a.m. I'm loving the new GUI and the on-Screen, non-third party, keyboard!
Winston Salem North Carolina. No update as of right now
Cleveland, OH...No update yet.
I went to my setting, and tryed to see if it was there to D/L, and sure nuff, it's D/LING now. Baltimore
Got it her in Louisville, still for starters you can finnaly view mms messages correctly as a full size picture without having to save it to you sim card. video is pretty awesome also. There is NO option, however for auto-rotate on the web. A few settings such as select text have been added(really cool). Also a find on page setting allows you to search within an opened web page. The app Steel does that with on screen keyboard though. Google Talk has been added, it's kinda cool. Thats about all i can find. Still waiting on turn-by-turn GPS! (And a laser gun would be cool too; just throwing that out there)!
Winston Salem NC update. I now have the update!
If you see anything else let me know!
I had Cupcake waiting for me this morning in Phoenix, AZ. So far so good.

Just got my OTA update today in Nashville TN
I got mine really early. I woke up around 3 a.m. and i saw on my phone that I got the update. Hell of a way to wake up in the middle of the night. The soft keyboard is pretty bad ass. I like it. Then the camcorder is alright. I'm in houston and by the looks of all the comments were getting more luck than anyother cities. I can say that the phone does function way better than wat it usto before. One thing though is if you got Chomp SMS don't update it. I'm not liking the update for it. It sucks, well for me. But the regular sms work fine and I like it way better. The smilies are fun too. So yea all you houston people should be getting it soon.
Nothing here in SLC.
Still didn't get it either. Socal here. But my husband did get it at about 7am.
Got the OTA update at 11AM today in Minneapolis, MN
very nice update!
I'm here in Houston and still haven't gotten the update.
Still no update in Orange County CA. :(
i was hoping the update would go to those who preordered way back when last fall but no such luck. still waiting in pasadena, ca. tmobile needs to show us early G1 adopters some love.
Here in Chicago
No cupcake yet... waiting :(
I'm in Seattle. I actually downgraded to 1.0 last weekend because my old phone gave me fits and T-mo replaced it with a brand new one that had apparently been sitting on their shelf since last fall.
I'd be perfectly happy to upgrade to even 1.1 at this point since I now have no ability to buy Market apps or even access my previously paid-for apps. I'm chomping at the bit for the big Cupcake upgrade. I really hate this method of upgrading.
Correction, I JUST got the update! ! Well abt 2hrs ago.
Here in Los Angeles, CA.
Staten island ny..... no cupcake
is there a way to update with wi fi? if so how please and thanks. Rick, from chicago
Im in Bellevue, WA. I received my cupcake update yesterday. YAY!!!
Indianapolis, IN here. 5:23 EDT and my G1 is just now finishing downloading Cupcake. It's about time!
Anyone in atlanta get cupcake today??
Okay so I had an issue with my g1, the sd card wasn't reading, so I ordered a new one. And it turns out that, today my new g1 came in and the old one got the update, so 2 questions.
1.) Did the sd mess up with anyone else before the update or was that just me?
2.) Is there anyway to get the update or does it just come?
Replies are appreciated. Thanks.

G1 user here bay area california only one of my friends that has a g1 got their update as far as manuually checking goes it didn't work for me so its hit or miss its looking like google doesn't have the ability to push out a massive update to thousands of phones. Any wways I'm going to call tmobile and see what they say.

Central jersy no update here
I was waiting for my update since earlier this month. Finally I recieved it @ around 4:30 est time. Pretty cool but it makes the phone a little slow at 1st. It is not something that sticks, my son was on the phone and when he hung up I saw update. It is not a major sign you can miss it if you are not aware of the upgrade, like the worker for T-Mobile.
Got it after work in Orange County, CA. TGIF! Lots of fixes for little things that have been bugging (actual call times in the call log for example). My husband still does not have it on his phone, so sad...
No Cupcake here in PDX, OR. Is it just me or does it seem like the updates are coming in no particular order?...wtf is up with that? Someone in Vancouver, WA got theirs, thats just 2 miles from me, why don't I have it yet??...still waiting....

t-mobie account established in florida. G1 purchased in oakland, ca. currently in boston. received cupcake update early morning may 30. main thing i noticed is the updated android startup throbber and the wallpaper visible in phone lock mode. onscreen keyboard works, but is kind of awkward in wide mode and space button is intermittent. video camera works. haven't turned on the screen animations, and waiting to see if battery life is better...
9:30 am still no update in Chicago... I think all the corrupt cities get it last!
I am in orlando and have not received the update yet
Richmond va...10am I got it!!

Yep my g1 takes forever to charge with this 1.5 update, plus I still don't have 3G in hickory, north carolina, if I only knew that they didn't have 3G to late now, good bye iphone but only have to wait two more years for the contract to end, oops.
Is it just me or does it take way longer for the phone to charge with this 1.5 update. Wat usto take me 3 hours to fully 100% charge my phone now it only charges about 30% in 3 hours. Now it takes forever to charge my phone and its frustrating.
no update in fort lauderdale florida yet
I'm also having trouble charging after the update. This takes foreever to charge now.
No cupcake in miami beach :(

Hey. No update yet. I am in Atlanta, GA. If you live here and have it Gtalk me @ Islandgal86.tl. My sister got her update this morning @ 2am. We pre-ordered our phones at the same time.
Still nothing here in Boston as of 11:26 PM. Has anyone gotten it anywhere in MA yet? I feel like it knows I'm waiting for it and it's taunting ;(
Got mine this morning.... Gotta say its pretty nice. Having widgets is pretty damn cool. The improved UI is cool. Seems a bit slow sometimes, but overall its pretty nice. I just went through and deleted a bunch of apps i no longer need (chompsms, video player, quick calendar, etc). Too bad the rumor is the G1 won't be upgradable to Donut whenever that actually comes out.
oh yeah... I'm in norcal... SF Bay Area
in boise, idaho (but with a hawaii number). got my cupcake update this morning at 5am. it's pretty sweeeet.
