Magics will be given to dream owners.
You should have gotten the magic since it has more ram and will be supported longer with updates.
You can always use search button or even simple google search:
"Rogers Dream+Root" heres one

Well.. I use AT&T's 3G, as I live in the US. So, I had to "import" it from Canada. I already have a jailbroken iPhone 3G S. So, I really don't want another touch screen phone with the same form factor. The G1 has the physical keyboard and seems like it could make a pretty good back-up phone. Do you think it's pointless for me to keep this G1, even if I get the latest and smoothest ROM available???

Seems like you got the phone just for the KB and not the OS. You just need to read carefully so you dont end up bricking your phone.

The HTC Dream is the only phone with Android that I can think of that has support for AT&T's 3G network AND a physical keyboard. The BACKFLIP is coming out, but ... yeah, I'll pass on the whole MOTOBLUR OS. Also, what are my chances of bricking the phone? Seeing as I've never done this before and have no clue where to start.

You can worry about that later your jumping the gun already and your phone is still stock.
First you need to root and if your successful then you can worry about using roms.

Haha.. Alright, sounds good.
So.. How hard is rooting? Is there a tutorial somewhere?
Ha. Gotcha.
I don't know...I'm at odds here...
With taxes coming in (I know I'm getting a nice refund)...I am torn between getting a touch pro 2 (Tilt 2, whatever)...and a Leo...
I have a touch hd at this time, and the one thing that really gets me is the lack of TV out, which the TP2 has. A small, insignificant thing to some, but with 2 children and a van, the old Fuze I used to have really came in handy.
But then I look at the Leo, with its huge screen, 1ghz Snapdragon, capability to be upgraded to wm7---but also, no tv out...
Or should I just wait a little longer to see what comes up???
Any ideas???
Rumning Poll
Touch Pro 2- 0
Leo- 1
Ican'tmakeupmymindeither (aka Orb3000 poll)-1
hd3/tp3- Stop confusing me!!!!!-2
there has been some news about HD3, I don't know whether its for real or not. It would be a grand device looking at its specifications.

If hardware keyboard is must for you go for Rhodium!
There won´t be better choice till 2011
If not a hardware keyboard fan but you can wait and $ is not a prob, then go for HD3
If can´t wait go for Leo
Dam the HD3 sounds like one sexy beast of a phone...any hope of that being for AT&T as well, i was rather disappointed that the HD2 never made it
Didn't even know that there was an HD3 in the horizon...gotta google...
edit...okay, googled it up...even though they are just rumors...no...way...this would be the ultimate phone...that is, at least until a 2ghz model comes out...

True that. Hmm. I'd definitely have to say the Leo, though.
theres rumors on a TP3 as well

Ha. Psssh, I clicked because I love... Um, gymnastics(?) not big breasted women... Yeah, that's why.
The Vogue's camera only allows me to pout so much. Any more, and the picture comes out black.

Mui malvada indeed! Now, I think you should follow Steve Jobs and buy an ipudding or an HTC Magnun! I knew I've seen the idea before! Small enough for delicate ears!
Lol
Great one!
I guess it depends on what you want in a phone. From the research I did in phones, the TP2 is a great phone. The others are great but are expensive if you buy them outright. You might consider providing more details other than the phones you're trying to choose from. Like what you want in a phone.
Hi all, I just found a website "unrevoked.com" provides an easy way to root few phones but it doesn't support legend, while I thought HTC Aria has a quite similar hardware to legend, so just wondering if there are anyone already tried it?
thanks!
be my guest , why dont you try it out
It doesn't work.
They don't have an htc legend to use for testing so they can't do it.
They did however say if they can ge their hands on one, as a loaner or from a store that they will do their best to develop a root for the legend.
Until then we have to keep waiting

Currently no, I sent an email to wifirouter which made the great app for our HD2's and the only reply they gave me was no so good, and that for how they see the OS now, it doesnt allow for it.
Lets hope Windows fixes that. Cause we need that. I really really need that.
This one has been beaten to death in other threads but for what it's worth +1 for tethering feature here as well.

Doesnt do us much good, and I really hope they come out with it soon, even if it is third party like we had on the HD2, i hate dragging my HD2 around to see clients just to have that one feature.
Any news or rumor about hd7 tether we need the update really soon.

not that I have seen, my HD7 is a paper weight right now, since that is all it is good for, i got fed up with all the missing things went back to HD2.
Man, I'm right there with you. Same thing. Microsoft took a step backwards. Disappointment. I have to keep switching SIM cards to my AT&T tilt to tether. Serious BS.
all these answers have really really pushed me back, not buying until MS fixes all or most of the common things, tether, bluetooth atleast
I just got HD7 from ebay and got in love with it and the WP7 system in one hour time. But last and most important thing for me that I checked was usb tethering.
What a disappointment.
I hope M$ will make it soon available or I'll get rid of the phone unfortunately

Eh u just got the phone, give it a few days, ull grow to hate it
But yes, tethering not present is a big let down, along with many missing items, and the mid January BIG update, is nothing more then new fixes for market place and cut/paste to shut us up, which is still not here soooooo....
thats why im glad i kept my HD2
has anyone tried using the DFrouter xap posted in the hd2 development forum? You need a jailbroken device for that though..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922000
First, is there any updates concerning tethering on the HD7? And second, why is everyone blaming Microsoft when they have already said that its availible but up to the carriers to offer it?
I now have to wait until my mum comes home to open the parcel with my g1 in!!!!!
How annoying!!!
Isn't it a bit late to buy the G1?

Slap some froyo on it xD
Give it some ginger love
I'm waiting for my G2.2.1
Wow... my Tilt is running Froyo and its a WinMo phone!!!!11!
Haha my old G1 has been collecting dust since last year! Got the HD2 and hated the OS then switched to the Vibrant before I figured out that you can put Android on the HD2!!!
Ahhhh I remember my g1 I hated it. It was a lovely phone but the hardware on it drove me insane!
-Insert signature here-
Great phone! I has it in white with 2.2 now installed and cwm recovery.
Needs a new battery though
Only criticism is that it can be a bit slow at times
