I know this might be the wrong forum. But where else would I post a question regarding the two phones...
I currently own a G1 and I'm more than happy with it!
None the less, I've been tempted to get myself a G2, Magic, MyTouch, or whatever the official name is at this point
The G1 has 192mb of ram, so does the G2.
Only thing different about the G2 is the rom, which doesn't really matter to me. And the better Camera, which is sort of nice..
Now, I know there are 288mb of ram versions of the G2, but does that really account for not having a keyboard?
I can't really make up my mind.
I'd like to have 288mb of ram, but I'd miss the G1's keyboard...
Anyone out there that went through the same struggle on deciding which phone to keep/get?
Thanks in advance

the camera is the same on the g2 too
I believe that only the 32a boards have that much ram, and from cruising the other boards, I believe that the google brand phones like the mytouch has the 32b board like ours and that has the lower ram. In conculsion, I think you might have to get an overseas one from ebay or something to get the extra ram
The camera is the same on the G2? What a bummer.
Looks like I'm just going to keep the G1...I mean, If I were to get the G2 with 288mb of ram I'd gain...nothing. Since I'd still be running cupcake, speed wouldn't be an issue and I'd rather keep my keyboard.
I'd still like to hear from those who have made the switch to a G2. Do you like it? Why or why not.
Thanks to all who have responded!
The biggest thing would be the reason I got a G1 in the first place.... a physical keyboard.

Yea...that's why I will probably stay with the G1 for some time. Until something better with a keyboard comes out.
g2 is actually the g2 touch for tmobile uk aka htc hero
get your names right. the tmobile US mytouch was NEVER called g2.
mytouch = google branded ,tmobile US with 192mb ram
htc magic = htc branded with 288mb ram but no US 3g support
Dude. The G1's only been out for about a year now. Wait another two, and then pick up one w/ a keyboard and the better stats you'd have then.
'Till then, just keep killing your SD card w/ the linux-swap partition unless you think CompCache is your thing. Tweak the settings 'round, see what comes of it. (Overclocking + CompCache = almost as good as anything coming out on the market, natively speaking, for at /least/ the next year.)
The G2 is the Hero lol.

G2 used to refer to the HTC Magic / HTC Sapphire, until the release of the MyTouch, which changed pretty much all of the names.
Also, don't try to bash when you don't even get your specs right.
The HTC Magic does not have 288mb of ram. Only the oversea Magic's have 288mb. A trip to www.htc.com could have enlightened you.
But wow, way to get all pissy over a few mixed up names because every provider likes to change around the names of phones every 5 minutes.

Although I agree he did get a little testy when correcting your error, he never said the us magic has 288mb. The only us version of the magic is the mytouch 3g, you can't buy a US magic besides it. The HTC Magic is a overseas phone only, so you must not have understood what he was saying.
Damn u.s always get ripped off, overseas they get the magic and all we get is a water down mytouch which just sounds perverted, and name wise the g1 sounds like a gay sex toy maybe a sawzall with a weird attachment..........nasty mental image.......get out of my head
Well it doesn't really matter what the name is or how much ram which version does.
In my opinion, a little more ram is not worth the switch if it means losing a hardware keyboard.
Thanks to everyone who responded!

lol i didnt get my specs right?!?! uu cant get ur names right.
HTC MAGIC DOES HAVE 288mb RAM!(like i stated) and its only available OVERSEAS and in canada on the ROGERS network. so uhm get ur sh*t straight and come correct.
NO HTC MAGIC WAS NEVER released in US . so of coarse the only ones that could be called HTC MAGIC come from overseas.(or canada)
so a trip to htc.com has enlighted you. so dont try to bash when you have nothing to bash on.
and actually these names were finalized and are not going to change once the device is released.

In that case I should note that, despite all the claims being yelled around in caps, the German HTC Magic doesn't have 288MB RAM either.

I have had a similar look into g1 vs g2 in the UK and...
I ordered the G2 from Tmobile UK but they sent me the G1 which at first I was like no way with.....BUT!
After looking at the specs on the net the Dream (G1) and the Hero (G2) Tmobile uk are not much different.
The Hero has 256mb more RAM and ROM that the Dream but at the expense of the keyboard. The screen res and processor are the same speed. I am thinking the only reason for the extra RAM and ROM is to support the Sense UI interface of the Hero and thus id be be swapping a useful hardware keyboard for extra widgets.
I have 3 screens to mod on my G1 not the 7 of Hero but I suspect if you mod all 7 screens with widgets the Hero will be about the same speed if not slower that the G1.
I personally cannot see the point of chaging it now as the full QWERTY is worth more than a few widgets most of which can be found on the market in variations anyways.
In short wait until the bring out a decent G1 upgrade with Keyboard. Who knows HTC might actually get there finger out look at the likes of Sony Ericsson and Samsung and think hmmmm our processors are a little slow and beef the next gen android up a bit.
I just bought it...out of sheer curiosity. It doesn't appear to be branded, but I don't think its an ADP.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190348838824&_trksid=p2759.l1259#ht_500wt_1182
Is his explanation accurate?
***Updated on Page 3 with PICS***
probably custom painted it like colorware, called it a rare special edition to squeeze $225 out of a used G1.
I doubt one for "google employees only" would come in a T-Mobile box... not sure if it is a ADP, since the graphics don't look the same... at least I have never seen it with the vertical lines like that, and just did a good amount of searching about 2 weeks ago when I bought my G1.
Price wise, you got a good deal if it is a 9.5/10 I have seen near perfect condition phones G1's go for $250+ not including shipping. Seen some real crap condition ones go for just over $200...
Yea. It was only posted for a couple of hours before I snagged it. I felt like regardless if the Special Edition is BS, I got a good deal.
Its always cool to have a one of a kind phone too, I loved my clear housing razr back in the day. As far as I know I was the only one in the world to have one. I also had a deep blue housing sidekick 3, it was pretty sharp too.
Looks like a regular G1 with an etched battery cover (or possibly just decaled).

Thats all it is. Juphro does it for people right here on the XDA forums for $27 USD and any design you want on any of the main battery door colors. I have one that matches my avatar.
Don't they all have those glossy bits? Both of mine have.. Its just a custom battery cover as far as I can see.
Its not etched...Its painted (at the very most). It also is Unbranded...
Look above the speaker...there is no T-Mobile logo. So I can confidently say its not just a regular G1...
From what I understand (after research) is that this is the phone that HTC/Google/Tmo employees were given as "demo" phones before the actual
G1 was dropped. Basically one to show off to would be consumers.
Is it in your possession yet?
I'd be interested to know the hboot info if it's pre-g1.. might be something we've not come accross before.

No. It shipped this morning from Cali (im in Arkansas).
It was shipped Priority so, I SHOULD have it by Saturday.
I'm not sure what the term hboot is (im still relatively new at modding)
EDIT: Hboot is like the PVT Board? The SPL correct?
If so, the wording in the auction sounded like he had it rooted, and put it back to stock. If it wasn't a SPL we are familiar with, wouldn't he have to flash the normal stock SPL? Again, if this is a n00b comment, im sorry. My last phone was an ADP1, and I only messed the SPL/Radio ONCE...
could also be a replacement shell, as the one I ordered came with a glossy keyboard bezel and was unbranded in the speaker area.

No...I thinks its a legitimately rare phone. I did some research on it. I think everything is stock on it, and they just released them as demo phones.
The only T-mobile branding I see in those pics is on the manuals...

Yea, hboot=fastboot=spl depending on who you're talking to and what mood they're in
It'll be a shame if he has rooted it previously because that'll mean any unique firmware on it would be long gone, but on re-reading the auction I think you're probably right.

Yea..Sucks! Oh well..Im curious to see if it is unlocked like an ADP.
Look at the user manuals.
By the way, I can definitively tell you that its not one of the G1s that TMO employees got before the official release for testing. I have one from when I worked for TMO. They look exactly the same as the regular G1. Also, toothpaste or very very light sanding can remove the TMO branding from the front casing without leaving a mark.
Well...as stated before, regardless of whether or not it is, in fact, a "Special Edition", $225 for a G1 that is in good shape is still a decent buy.
I was watching them go $225-250 all night long.
Once I get the phone, I will check the model/serial # etc, and see what I can find out (if anything)
Is that a google "holiday" phone?
It is definitely NOT tmobile in any way.
The stock bootloader on a holiday phone *looks* in every way like a G1 bootloader, but HAS FASTBOOT. In other words, it is exactly the same as the engineering bootloader for ADP1, but has the rainbow stripes instead of the skating androids.
Take a look here. Note the picture of the build number... "holiday_devphone".
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=485676
Regarding the back cover... could be custom. Might be normal for a holiday phone -- I've never actually seen one.
Also could be a bone stock ADP1 with a custom back cover. The rest of the "look" matches it perfectly.
Note: if the previous owner has changed any software, then there is no way to tell except to track it down by serial number -- and it doesn't make ANY difference. A DREAM is a DREAM. They're all the same.
Also FYI: The box and manual that say "G1" are NOT for that phone.
Oh, and just a minor point...
He says that he put it "back to factory settings". Sounds to me like he messed with it. Probably loaded some tmobile crap onto it in place of the stock ROOT image. Hopefully it has the stock bootloader -- in which case you can just fastboot anything you like. Be sure to try that BEFORE you go RC29'ing it. Remember that regardless of rainbow screen and bootloader version code, it *probably* has a fully functional fastboot.
Also note: "back to factory settings" may also just mean that he wiped the userdata, so boot it up and check the build screen. If it says "holiday_devphone", then you can adb shell root, nothing weird required.

So, I have a question (coming from an ADP1). What would happen if I tried to flash a ROM to the phone and it is a basic stock phone? Will it even allow me to do anything.
So, I guess the question is, how can I tell when I get it what I can and cant do with it. I know this sounds way n00bish...but since I had an ADP1 before, I didn't even have to think about this.
So uhm. I've been posting some stupid posts her latley, and, I'm sorry. Not to sorry, but yeah. So, back in the day, when I was what, 4? 5? They used to take apart their HTC Wizards and paint the housing. So I wanna do it to my G1... anybody wanna be rebelous with me??! And I'd like my G1 to stand out when I show my friennds Burr Burr Bursin and 3G-Speed Nissan. Anyway wanna do it? Let's go. PM or GTalk me.
[email protected]
And just so you all know, 3G-Speed Nissan has a Bronze G1 with a gold battery cover. (Is the gold part normal or did he buy it because I don't know.)
Burr Burr Bursin has a White G1 with a Body Glove case on the back as his battery cover and nothing on top. Also on the battery cover, there's a stand, but he removed it.
I really care about my G1's software, and at the moment, my black G1 looks amazing with HTCClay's SuperBad G1 ROM. Until FroYo, I think I'm going to leave it like this. So since we have software down, let's start working on the hardware right? They say the myTouch 3G is totally yours, but I think that the G1 is A LOT better and I really like modding my G1 to match my likings. So let's begin.
*UPDATE*
You know, not that anyone cares, but I can't do this. My mommy won't let. Sorry people who wanted to do it but are to lame and mean to reply.

As the title says, I have been thinking about trading my MT3G 32B for a T-Mobile G1. I figure that the G1 is probably a better phone for me, since I do a ton of texting, and don't have a bunch of apps installed (only about 25).
What are your opinions? Do you think it would be a good idea to switch from a MyTouch to a G1?
Thanks!
Why wouldn't you switch to a newer generation android device, rather than the first android device? I mean, the g1 is still a great device, I loved it, but newer phones are significantly faster and can run more apps more efficiently.

Yeah, I know. But I'm waiting for my upgrade, which is in September. And I figured that I could probably just trade my MT3G for a used G1, and barely have to pay anything, because they're practically the same phone.
And I don't really have a whole lot of money, since I'm just 17 and don't have a job. Haha.

the g1 is only mildly harder to work with rootwise than the MT3G 32B because of spl's and such, but besides that, if you dont need lots of apps theres not really a downside.

I don't think SPLs and stuff would be a problem, since I've already flashed those on my MT3G. Also, I just rooted my brothers G2, and I know that is harder to root than a G1.
Also, would there be any noticeable speed difference between the MT3G and the G1? Or is the only difference having less storage space for apps?

Well, for whatever reason, the g1 does not clock as high stably, so that's a minor downside, but other than that they are the exact same chipset and board. So there's prettymuch no difference except for the keyboard. As long as trading it wouldn't affect your ability to get an upgrade in september there isn't really a downside. However, if trading for the g1 would eliminate your ability to upgrade in september I would just stick with the mytouch for 10 months and deal with it till you can get a newer gen phone.

If you aren't trading/buying the g1 from tmobile, like if you get it off of craigslist or something, then it wouldn't affect your upgrade capability, but if you get it from tmobile it will. My friend just gave me a mytouch slide a few weeks ago, but I can still upgrade in september since I didn't get the phone from tmobile

Yeah, I wasn't planning on getting it from T-Mobile anyway. I was thinking about just buying a G1 on eBay, and then maybe selling my MT3G. There are some G1's on there that are in pretty good condition, and are only about $50.
Ok so I decided to remove all google related apps using console in recovery before booting into a freshly flashed ROM
First of all...the keylayout was all weird
As if it had not autodetected my tmobile keyboard (I have a rogers motherboard)...it was like that when I first put in the motherboard
So I rebooted into recovery and reinstalled google apps
I restarted and everything was fine.
I skipped signing in...
Then I removed all google apps from terminal emulator
And rebooted
It worked fine...everything was OK
But sometimes when I pick up my phone its off for some reason. I have to turn it back on.
Is this because I removed all google apps? Or is it just my motherboard flash memory getting worn out? Its the second phone it has been in...
Or is this because I have a rogers motherboard in a tmobile phone. Because there's one more thing I've noticed. With DangerSPL I boot into fastboot by pressing Call + Power. But with the 2708+ kernel spl Call + Power or Back + Power don't work. I have to go through Camera + Power then Back.
Hmmm...well I'm gonna leave it probably on adb logcat overnight and if it turns off ill see what's wrong
The roger's MoBo differs a little of the T-Mo one, starting by the KB layout.
You can check this wiki for some reasons to don't be using the 2708+ mod in Roger's MoBo, in section "Why not convert to a EBI0 Radio?": http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Full_Update_Guide_-_Rogers_Dream_EBI1
If you check on that same wiki, the Roger's version of G1 uses a 3.x radio, not the 2.x ones. If you install a 2.x radio on a Roger's... it will do some crazy things
By changing from a radio to another and all that, you'll not lose the avaibility to flash any of the roms that you're already using, the only thing needed to be changed is the kernel to use the apropiated specs of a Roger's MoBo.
Good idea to ckeck the logcat, and if u see some kernel hangs, it wouldn't be an bad idea to try with a 32A (Roger's) kernel and radio.
Hmmm well it didn't turn off
Logcat looked fine
Alls fine I guess
If anything starts going wrong I guess ill try

I don't think so, voltage regulators, soldier, so many cables needed, etc... it isn't just a cable USB-like, it's like 6 cables that must be soldered to the phone's MoBo, with electricity regulator and all that thing, kinda lab experiment thing xD!
And... who said I'm just short of money? Have to work to can at least live is a really common case here where I am. Not to mention have enough money conditions to buy electronics and PC's, it's kinda paradise here
Anyway, happy flashin' 'n playin' on ur phone
Do you have any issues with telephone or data service after changing the motherboard? I noticed the service manual calls for tuning the phone again after a motherboard change, so I wondered if it is really that sensitive or not. I have a broken phone with a good motherboard I wanted to use to fix another one with a bad motherboard, so I wondered if I could expect to run into trouble or not. Both are T-Mobile phones.
I would think just reflash radio, spl, and ROM and you're all good to go.
It works fine so far.
frankdrey is correct. i have gone threw 30+ g1s, i swap motherboard all the time (never a rogers into a ebi0 but im sure its ok) havent ran into any problems with the swap, but i always have rooted them and upgrade all about them. only real difference is that if for some reason you need to know the imei you cant look behind the battery but need to check in settings. common sense i know but just telling you the only difference i could see.
Thanks guys. I appreciate the real world experience, which is as I suspected. On the IMEI, I just moved the data sticker too. No trouble with GSM calls, or wifi. There's no 3G in the area though to check that.
