I am looking to do the same as you; G1 from Ebay, unlock and use with an existing Orange UK contract. I haven't been able to find much information on whether the updates would still come down to the G1 over the Orange network, everybody talks about T-Mobile releasing the updates which would suggest it is a service restricted to T-mobile contracts.
>From using your G1 on Orange up to now, do you think that the same updates are all available regardless of network? I am thinking that it would be awful to buy a G1 and then not be able to get the Cupcake update when it gets released!
