Here’s picture proof, as such, of my G1 running 3G on the 3 network in Australia.
All that was required was to unlock the phone, and add the 3 mobile internet APN to the phone’s settings - as simple as adding a new APN with ‘name’ and ‘apn’ set to ‘3netaccess’ - I’m yet to add the gprs and mms APNs but they are just as easy. Once I’d done that, I set up my gmail account and it ran fine from the get-go. Everything works including compas mode street view. I’m glad I waited and bought the UK Version!

Hey there
I just got a G1 as well and have it on 3 mobile.
Would you please be able to tell me exactly what I need to put in all the fields to get this all working?
Cheers.

Stay tuned I’ll be posting a step by step guide for getting a UK G1 to work on 3 Australia in the next day or two.
To get 3g working you need to add an APN in your mobile network settings under wireless controls. - the name should be 3netaccess and the APN value set to 3netaccess - leave everythign else as is.
