The only love the G1 needs is the love of Cyanogen. Just make sure you don't turn Compcache on (that seems to be what was bogging my G1 down the past few weeks)
I have Cyanogen mod on my G1, I just thought it could be cool to get the sense ui as well. It seems like cyanogen is focused on the nexus one lately though. It will be nice if we can get 2.1 on the G1.
I just want to note that this was a forced update. Anyone that had cyanogenmod installed had to restore to factory and update to get data service back.
Guna have to disagree with you there MD. One of my coworkers has the MyTouch, he has not gotten the SenseUI via OTA update and his data plan is still working just fine.
A friend of Jackie's has a MyTouch that hadn't been updated to Sense, and it continued to work just fine.
In other news, Android 2.1 can't fit on the G1 without one of two (or both) changes: Extensive modifications (read: removed features) to the Android 2.1 ROM, or the G1's ROM space gets repartitioned to accommodate 2.1, thereby destroying all user data in the process.
Of course they could probably do some slick backing up and restoring if they went the repartitioning route. Provided, of course, that there is enough free space on the SD card to dump a backup to. Just throwing that out there.
