Worth it to get a g1 now?

I work at Radioshack and im looking to quit soon and i just just found out that we're going to be carrying t-mobile. I currently have a sprint vogue and im tired of a non hardware keyboard device. Would it be wise to get the g1 or the mytouch? Any advice will be welcome.

You mean "The Shack" right?

haha yeah, gotta love changing most of the signs in the store and wearing "flair." but 10 bucks a month for an employee line is unbeatable

If the physical keyboard is a must for you, then get the G1. The magic has a slightly nicer screen, and more internal memory if im correct. I only have a G1, so thats all i can speak for.

I wouldnt base my decision on that fact, the truth is the G1 doesnt have as much memory as the future android phones. Which means less features because not enough room for the new ROM's.
If i was in your situation i would wait till the end of the year to see what is released.

Personally haven't hearing the news that was told i wouldn't get a g1 now n get a touch instead or just wait on quiting till the new Android comes out

The touch2 WHAT!!!!

Htc announced that the htc Mega will be called the touch2.

Well what do you expect from a low-end phone? It fits a niche below the Diamond 2 and Pro 2.

I think it could.
Its labeled with the sprint name so i would say it has a good shot.
But we did see the touch pro 2 come out on t-mobile and there was no touch pro.

Officially announced

Well this large website states it is & has the official details.
http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tech/ne...ches-with-snapdragon-801-chip-duo-camera.html

Official details
Here are the highlights that stand out the most to me in using it as my daily phone for months:
A more refined design: it's 90% metal now, with the metal wrapping up the side (the HTC One was 70% metal). The gunmetal gray is simply gorgeous and has this great texture to it. I've also never seen a single HTC One (M8) with a gap of any kind - the entire phone is more solidly constructed.
Bigger Battery: with a 2600 mAH battery, it lasts longer. I don't have to think about charging it before the end of the day.
Bigger Storage: Yes, it's true, we put a microSD slot in there, and it supports up to 128 GB of storage. How's that for mind-blowing?
Bigger Screen: 5 inches is a nice size; not so huge like the One max, but noticeably bigger than the 4.7 inch screen on the HTC One. I got used to the 5.9" screen on the One max, but there was no adjustment period with the HTC One (M8).
Better BoomSound: The audio quality from the dual-front facing speakers on the HTC One was great...but you wouldn't believe how much better the new HTC One (M8) sounds! Richer, fuller audio with a wider sound. It's 25% louder, yes, but the audio quality is dramatically better. I didn't grasp by how much until a co-worker did a side by side comparison for me.
A Better Camera Experience: It's a 4 megapixel UltraPixel sensor, but we switched to a new provider for the sensor, completely addressed the pink tint issue, added a second sensor to get depth/spatial information (which allows for some great camera effects). Image quality is simply better.

In London, some retailers will have the phone today as well, and you'll see it pushed out to Europe and Asian markets rapidly in the coming weeks. By the end of April, the HTC One (M8) should be absolutely everywhere.

Happy about pretty much everything but the huge amount of wasted real estate on the front. It's like my Jewel buy with an extra speaker on the front.
Regardless, I'll be getting one today if the upgrade price is right.

GSMArena review starts positive & then saves its royal kicking until the end. Basically a decent phone let down by a camera that didn't even cut the mustard in 2013 let alone 2014.

This is exactly how I will feel about all new up and coming flagship phones.... Meh... I will definitely bypass this year's new flagship phones.
Sent from my C6833 using Tapatalk

So just like the Samsung s5 only a very small upgrade. It's nice to add a microsd SD slot but seriously the HTC logo is still incredible misplaced.
Also lol at all that fitness crap, since all manufacturers are doing it it seems more like a data fishing attempt. I am 5 times a week in the gym and i know some people nobody uses their smartphone for tracking stuff, 90 percent of the time it's used to replace a mp3 player.
It's really a small and disappointing upgrade no octacore, no 3gb ram and no uhd so far all phones this year seem lackluster.
