I just went through all that. I wasn't able to get unrestricted root access to implement any of the workarounds posted on the Internet. I tried using Telnet and remote ADP, T-Mobile seems to have closed that security hole on all current Android images.
In the end, I setup my Google account beforehand, then waited for T-Mobile to activate my G1 upgrade (their funky billing system doesn't support upgrades in the middle of a billing cycle unless you're willing to pay an extra month in advance). Also, when connecting to the Google servers, you only enter the mailbox name without the "@gmail.com" I don't know what your options are in Canada, if you insist on not signing up with an authorized carrier, you may have to consider flashing to an earlier image.

I don't want to setup my google account, I don't even have a data plan (and don't plan to get one any time soon as they are too expensive in Canada). But, I still want to use the phone and local apps, write apps for the phone that I can use on it etc... I've tried all the buttons, all the menus I could get too etc..., but it always returns to the google acocunt setting ? I can I skip the account setup menu ?
