Ive been considering getting an android phone for quite a while so im thinking of the g1 becuase it is cheap and it has a keyboard, what are your guys thoughts, i have a fuze right now.
Don't buy a g1. I've had this phone since november 2008 and I can't wait to get rid of it. You should spend the money and get a better android phone, such as the droid, nexus, or wait for the htc desire. You will definitely have a better android experience with one of these phones. Its just to much hacking you have to do to make a G1 good.

Yeah I would stay away from the Cliq. There are roms for it, but there isn't as much development for it as there is for the G1. You'll find it to be quite boring and it's stuck on 1.5. If it's a choice between the two, get the G1.
Lol... Its pretty funny how everyone is saying the G1 is bad and don't buy it. Give it a month, there will be something then the N1 and everyone's going to say, "Don't buy the N1 its such garbage." G1 is a good phone. It won't take you to the moon, but it's not bad. =] I personally have the myTouch. I honestly wish I would have got G1 for keyboard, though. That's another reason I hate the N1... Yea, it's sexy... but touch screen keyboards have proved to be nothing but trouble for me. Besides misclicking (which you get better at) they usually lag. Sometimes slightly - sometimes horribly. They're NEVER as fast as a physical keyboard, though. They also prove to be trouble for games or things that use a keyboard. Most have full touch screen support, but I personally like to use a keyboard to play a game if it's an option. That's just my opinion.
I bought one off eBay for under $200 and I love it. I don't see how any other phone is better than it right now. It was a five row keyboard, trackball, and with all the custom roms available, it fits every niche that I want.

Beat THAT!
HTC DREAM (people... please call it what it actually IS and not what it has been DE-branded to...) is a very flexible device. Perfectly capable of running the latest builds of android.
The problem that some people are having is that the manufacturer (HTC) has decided to stop supporting it. This is no different than what will happen with the GN1 or other android phones made by HTC.
And the main thing to keep in mind is that this is a PHONE, not a supercomputer. Does it REALLY NEED to be the latest super-duper over powered crazy thing? NO. It really doesn't.
DREAM is very well known, and hacked up the wahzoo. There is virtually nothing that you can't make it do. Right down to being jtag-able.
Fact is simple; if you want maximum flexibility in your phone (more important than peak performance), DREAM is the ticket.
Cool guys, thx for the advice i defintley think i am going to purchase 1 off ebay, but im thinking if i should get the brown/black or the white, i saw the white can get a few nicks on in but it looks nice, what do u guys have?

I would say overall that I am very happy with this phone.
Especially with the hacks and mods that I've done to it.
Its fast, stable and looks great.
I am more than happy with this phone, (Especially since I traded a Sidekick LX for it) I haven't been this happy with a phone in a while.
I used to have the HTC Excalibur and coming from Windows Mobile to Android is phenomenal, everything is so simple once you learn and get the hang of it.
So if you have the cash and you are curious just buy it and learn the basics!
Well worth it!
What attracted to me about this phone is that it is able to use the keyboard( hard keyboard is obviously easier to use) to type and gaming. Moreover, the phone is able to be modded and a variety of ROMs that might suit your style to choose from.
I would actually want to buy a second HTC Dream if I could. Seriously, if you really want to utilise your PDA phone properly, the Dream can do it all for you. However, if you really want high end gaming and more sensitive touch screen & proximity sensors to show off, then it's better to get the latest phone. I find that as it is, I am utilising only 50% of what the Dream is capable of. So I have been using it since last year and will continue on until I cannot do certain things that are important for work. Just my 2cents.
Coming from all different kinds of OS's, Sony, WM for many years, and finally the awesome Android OS.
Its hard to compete against it. I like the idea of a quality physical keyboard and screen. There is so much development and quality Rom releases here for our phone.
Devs know this and that is why they stay and keep doing what they do so well for all of us. Themers as well deserve much respect for their hard work and commitment.
Bottom Line: Buy a G1, you'll be hard pressed to find a better android phone at this time.
A friend was looking for a new phone. She was looking to switch to Sprint and I looked through their selection and decided on the Samsung Intercept for her. She wanted something easy and functional with a very short learning curve. She got the phone today and I was playing with it and it really seems like a piece of crap. The screen is horrible (I have an EVO so it may also be the fact that I'm comparing it to that), the phone feels cheap and the buttons are very unresponsive.
She has 30 days to return the phone so I was really just looking to get a general idea, from some Hero users, if the hero is a good buy at $150. I don't know a lot about it's capabilities, I believe that I just read that it was recently updated to 2.1. I was looking around and there seems to be a good root method and some quality roms available including CM6 so I know I can expand it's functionality. I'd appreciate just some general comments on the phone and any issues anyone has had with it, thanks.
Does she like physical keyboards? Then the epic might be worth checking out?
If not, I'm satisfied with my hero, its just a little underpowered but with cm6 and oc its very usable.

I was thinking that it was a bit underpowered. It's been out for a bit as well which is why I suggested the newer Intercept. The physical keyboard thing was my suggestion to make texting easier. I don't have an issue with typing on my screen with my EVO but that's because the screen is huge. I thought about the Epic but I really think it's way too much phone for her. She has 30 days from yesterday and the Epic is supposed to be released on the 20th so I may suggest that if she's unhappy with this one.
I just bought this Hero used after returning my Evo. $125 in near prefect condition. I'm very happy with it. I used to swear by physical keyboards until I got used to Swype, now its all I use. So many custom roms and things to chose from to do to my phone.
You're milage may vary.

I hate to ask a stupid question but you returned an Evo and go the Hero in it's place?
I like the Hero as it's what I bought (when they were new) but I think I'd have stuck with the Evo. Am I missing something?
I say that the evo Is really Good. The hero is a great phone and with the right mods its even Better .. can't go wrong with either One....

I actually love my Hero right now, but would LOVE to own an EVO right now
But, I was pretty amazed to see that the Hero CDMA used to be just $49.99 or something from Sprint, and NOW, it's $149.99! Crazy huh?!? Couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that crap. Now that they probably got rid of they're massive stock pile they had when it first came out, ppl are probably still wanting to get it. Especially since the EVO is sold out every-freakin'-where.
If she is a new customer Radio Shack has them for 69.99, but it was 49.99 at my local store.
Crazy thing is they want $529 for the Hero unactivated and only $499 for the Evo unactivated
Radio Shack HTC HERO
Radio Shack HTC EVO
I wouldn't mind getting an Evo, but in a couple more months we should have either 2Ghz processors and/or dual-core processors which will blow away the Evo. Once Camera preview and GPS is completely working in CM6 the Hero will be 10X better than it was. I am happy with my Hero.

That RS link doesn't work but that's the same she paid for the Intercept at RS. If that's true I might definitely tell her to switch to the Hero. She was looking for advice on a new phone and she said simple, but me being me, I couldn't bring myself to recommend any of Sprints lower end phones. Consequently I've become the buffer, easing her into learning how to use Android (Not really all that difficult but she couldn't figure out how to use Google, lol) Thanks for the heads up, I'll look into it.
On another note: I have an EVO. I was really looking forward to it's release and I can honestly say that it's exceeded all my expectations. My last phone was a Touch Diamond so this was a major upgrade. I've always liked the Hero, thanks for the responses.
I had an intercept.. found that the touch buttons at the bottom of the screen didn't work consistently...
The Hero seems to work pretty well thus far...
i like everything but
call delay
com.htc.bg force closes
on 2.1 official, rooted
other than that, great
i loved my hero and had cm6, it was perfect. Then i got my EVO it makes my hero feel like it belongs in the 90s.

Had a moment, no pun, now a hero and its nice and small without lockups. I'm quite happy until I can get my hands on an evo or an epic...do I really need a hard keyboard?

when i switched from my g1 to hero, my hands desperately craved the feeling of a keyboard. over time i got used to soft keyboard especially after swype. I don't think a hardware kb is necessary unless you plan on running EMU's.
i think the HERO is amazing. compared to all the other phones i have owned this blows them all out the water. One amazing thing i like about it is the 5mp camera. there is no negative side to this phone for me.

I have fat thumbs and I have no issues at all with the evo's keyboard. I thought I might be better off with a hardware keyboard and was disappointed theat the evo didn't have one. Since I got it though, I've had no problems with it and I've had it since launch day. The screen is so big that it's much easier to use than most phones physical keyboard.
Coming October 1st, Sprint is opening up its SERO exclusivity to allow for Android phone upgrades.
The cost for upgrading to a non-4g phone is an additional $10 per month.
The cost for upgrading to a 4g phone is an additional $20 per month ($10 for a "non-WM" phone and $10 for the 4g tax just like the EVO and upcoming Epic).
I just called up Sprint and verified it through the CSR person I spoke to. She said that this information has been given out company-wide recently so everyone should know about it.
Here are some links to check for discussions about this (pulled from SlickDeals).

Even though I'm afraid that this news is going to scavenge users from our community, I think a lot of people are going to be excited about this. Especially since dzo has said that he's going to be moving on from a Vogue in the near future. *sigh*
I know I'm definitely looking forward to it since I'm dreading the day dzo moves on. Haha!
What about you guys?
I didn't see this in any of the threads, so excuse me if I missed it...
I don't think there was a dedicated thread, but this was discussed a bit in the Wildfire Rom thread.
Anyway, I am definitely looking forward to it. While Android (2.2) is running pretty great on my Vogue, it would be even better to have a native phone with an accelerometer and possibly a slide-out keyboard (I'm unsure if I will get a used Hero or something else at this point.)
I am pretty stingy though, so while I think I could do another $10, I'm not sure about the $20 It would be hard for me to justify increasing my cell phone bill by 66%!

Agreed! Haha!
yea, I'm thinking the same thing. And with Sprint's minimal non-4g Android offerings, how many people won't end up with +$20/month
I'll most likely be getting a non 4g one anyway, since no matter what I get, I'll be disassembling and removing the camera because of the rules where I work. I'd much rather do that to a used, older, cheaper phone than a brand new expensive one

I'm also debating on where I'm going with this. I've used the moment and am not too keen on its keyboard. Also don't really care for the builds over on sdx. Haven't really looked at any of the Hero builds nor used the hero. Really looking closely at the 4g phones as I'd kinda like having a phone that natively ran 2.2 and would be getting gingerbread natively as well (most likely).

dzo hasn't decided. myn went to the evo i think.
That aren;t really any phones that are coming out that appeal to me. The EVO is too large. One of the best things about the Vogue is that it's tiny. The Epic was the runner up but I don't see any need for a slide out keyboard with Swype installed, and for an extra $20/month I don't know that it will be worth it.
I may hold onto my Vogue until Christmas time to see what else comes out.

Yea, I wish Sprint had some better Android phones. The Incredible is basically what I'd like. It has all the rights specs without the 4g tax on it.

So I recently purchased a Captivate, what got me to buy it was how it DID NOT look like an Iphone. The vibrant just looks like an Iphone(although I've been eying it for a while since I live in Canada and Bell offered the one with the front facing camera, is it really that useful?).
I'm just curious on what got you guys to choose the Captivate.
Cause the AT&T nexus one is hard to find for under 500 bucks lol
But honestly the 4 inch screen and cause its the only android handset with a bright future on at&t and i hate iphones with a passion

always nice to hear from people like me who hate 'iphone with passion' good one !!1!! I just pity on the idiots who praise iphone in front of me after seeing my captivate
I could have gone with either T-Mob or AT&T the deciding factor for me was the Amazon deal on the Cappy for a penny. 1 Penny VS 100 dollars. was easy decision.
FAN + high end android phone
Also, it looks the best (the carbon fiber back matches my bike ).
I have to agree with both statements of both the iphone look of the vibrant and the absolute disgust of the iphone itself. I've already converted some ppl to android and completely shamed some iphone 4 owners with the amazing captivate. And when ppl see my phone they know its not an idumb unlike my friend who owns a vibrant. She has the hardest time having vibrant in plain site and ppl asking if its the new iphone.

I upgraded to this from a Samsung Impression. I loved my Impression. I never had any issues with it like others had described. It had the same AMOLED screen technology, and amazing battery life. Any Samsung I've owned, whether it's been a phone or a camera has been great. So they've earned my business. They didn't disappoint me this time either with my Captivate. It's fast, it's light, it does great on battery life (I can go a day and a half without a full charge unlike I could with my Samsung Blackjack) and the screen is bright and vibrant just like I expected.
impression had a amoled screen? didn't know that but anyways well the 16 GB internal storage is one reason the other is that i couldn't switch to T-Mo
im not leaving AT&T, i had an upgrade available and its the first high end android device they offered. plus i was getting tired of how blackberry was so behind with everything.

Ya learn something new everyday.
i was tired of my bb's outdated operation.. was considering an iphone.. but this phone came HIGHLY reccomended from an executive at ATT that i know well... and referred to this phone as the "iphone killer"... love it so far.
My friend had the Vibrant on T-mo and told me, "Yknow, AT&T is getting basically the same phone, it's called the Captivate." My contract came up for renewal and they offered me the phone for $99. I couldn't say no. I like the idea of a phone running an open source operating system that anyone can tinker with. I've never liked Apple and their iOS with all of their restrictions.
I was actually contemplating making the move to T-mobile as they have cheaper plans and the service is about the same as AT&T in my area. Still, after holding both phones, the build quality and the overall look of the phone was much better with the Captivate IMO, so I decided to stick with AT&T for now and picked one up.
I am now waiting on the G2 and whatever the Emerald turns out to be for T-mobile this fall and may make the jump at that point.
I'm actually not enthralled with the overall look of the Captivate, but that's probably because I came from the Pure, and could see how AT&T has been influencing the design of these phones, and not necessarily for the better. I've attached a picture that shows what I mean better. If I removed the branding, you might have a hard time telling which phone is which.
But I did buy a Captivate, but only because I got ~$300 off from AT&T, T-mobile gets horrible reception both where I live and work, and I knew before I bought it that I would be able to undo the vast majority of AT&T's raping of this otherwise amazing phone.
had my Cappy out charging in Starbucks the other day and overheard the two people next to us chatting about it to each other:
"hey, what phone is that over there?"
"looks like the Xperia X10"
had to laugh at myself and told em its a Captivate and its not released here in Canada yet
To all who were tired of the bb.
I just came from a Bold 9000. Blackberry isn't really much outdated it's just really more lenient on business.
Tbh, I miss some things on my bb like keyboard shortcuts, the keyboard in general lol, bbm(reasons not sure why), and the ease of jumping around for me.
The reason why I jumped ship to the captivate is because it's the best android phone for AT&T and that's where I have a family plan :T lol I would have taken Sprint Epic if I could but I'm on AT&T!
^ I find bbm silly. Anyone who has a blackberry says they love it and I ask them why, the answer is always bbm. I say why is that better than text? They always try to come up with a reason. some of them know bbm transfers files. I say I have google talk and a vast array of other Im apps. They always say but bbm is blackberry only as if that's a good thing. I can talk to any one with a computer or iphone or android or whatever on there existing aim our yahoo account and they can only talk to there friends with blackberries, seems snobbish to me. You might say google talk can't send files, but yahoo messenger can.

Ok...First, I love this phone, I love this community and everyone in it.
I got the opportunity to move to the Galaxy Nexus and I jumped. I love the phone..Its missing some of the hard core that the Revolution has but its a trade off.
That being said, I now have a Revolution, two oem batteries, a Extended battery, kickstand case and dock that I no longer need. Anyone interested or know of anyone who might be?

As a REVO user who really wants a Nexus I have two questions if you don't mind.
1. What opportunity did you come across to get the galaxy Nexus? I only ask because I heard of an upgrade option through Verizon where the phone was free, but I am not eligible for an upgrade yet, so I was wondering if you knew of a different offer.
2. What do you mean by it's missing the hard core that the REVO has? I'm curious to hear what the REVO offers that the Nexus doesn't?
The GingerVolt2.0 rom is a good rom. I'm running it now with no issues

I wasn't sure at first that I would like it. ICS is a tad weird and takes some getting used to. Like all phone purchasing decisions, its a personal decision. Grab the NEXUS, Hold the Nexus...You decide....

It is a myth. Actually it was a scam. Verizon says there is no such promotion. They are however sending out emails offering 100 dollars off any LTE phone via their website. I got that email yesterday as they try to convince me to upgrade one of my other 2 phone lines.
It was a one day only thing it appears because the email is linked to a web page the offer in the email has changed to a bogo deal for the crappy stratus
