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 was worried more about the hardware keeping up with the software but basically, t-mobile says there'll still be support so im hoping there will be official roms released.

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.

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.

HD2 running on mtk os

Hi,
Well, to keep it short, I've been told by a friend in china that he can get me a htc hd2, but running on MTK OS instead of wm6.5, first i hesitated as i though it might be one of this ****ty clones that china produce, but he told me that it's from the main manufacturer whom already in china, maybe they produce it with this mtk with a good price due to high wm license prices...
I really like this phone but here in Egypt the price is almost 2.5X it's original price, so i thought i might get it and install wm6.5 on it instead of mtk, of course if it possible, so i need your opinion guys about this idea???!!!!!! and i would never find any place better that here for this matter....

===================================
thanks' in advance,
mike

sounds like a bad rip-off to me.. .
why don't you get your friend to send it to you, then if its good pay him?
If he's a friend surely he'll do that?
otherwise if it sounds to good to be true then it's going to be too good to be true..
I'd steer clear

3MP camera? Should be 5MP if its genuine. Also apps like peep or footprints are winmo apps so wouldn't work on mtk

yea, maybe you'are right,,,
i will tell him to send it to me, in my hands i will know if it's a genuine or a f***** damn clone(sorry, i just hate those Chinese clones),,,
the price is $250 by the way,,,
but if so,,,is it still possible to load the original rom and wm6.5 to it?????

probably not.. unless it's 100% genuine..

if you could ask him to send some photo's of this device i would be interested. if i'd really turns out to be a authentic hd2 (what i honestly doubt verry much) its a great deal!

As far as I know, HTC only has manufacturing plants in Taiwan and Brazil. I have not heard that the company has set up any plants in China. My information may be outdated, but I checked on the web about this just a few weeks ago.
My guess is that it is a fake, and that the quality would be very much suspect.

And that MTK OS is pretty much exclusively used by Chinese phones - I'd see no reason to see it on an HTC device.

You are quite right. HTC only produces phones using Android, the Brew® Mobile Platform, or Microsoft's mobile platform. The MTK OS is popular in China, and part of it is it can be set up to look like an original, without the functionality.

MTK is actually the processor name, short for Media Tek. Try google "T8585 MTK HD2" and you will find some info regarding the latest model. I read somewhere the latest update even have multitouch capacitive WVGA display. BTW, it is quite a good clone, running updated public domain WM6.5 ... and cost a fraction of the real thing. I wonder if anyone is doing a homebrew for this?
BTW, beware that some sellers might post wrong specs... its running dual Core, MTK6516 ARM9 460MHz (applications) + 280MHz (phone), RAM: 256 MB / ROM: 512 MB, dual sim and no 3G ... unless they release a new update.

Definitely. Would be good though

With anything larger than 4.3" screen, the device would really begin to become uncomfortable to use. Even as much as I like the screen on the HD2, sometimes it feels gigantic for 1 hand functions. Those specs sound more like a tablet than a phone.

Where can I preorder ?

Hey man! That sounds so plausible, but it's not actually true. I got the HD3 specs from my mate, Mr. Taiwanese who works for HTC and he's got a HD3.

So false it's funny
The "original" news source reports a leaflet with the size of the device. 65mm*115mm*10mm. I can easily suppose there's potential to make it even thinner, but there's no way it can be smaller with a bigger screen.

Loving the "more big" scribbles on the picture ... lol

1280 × 800 resolution is not supported in 7 Series, from what I have heard.
And I don't think they will launch the HD3 with WM 6.5.3. ROFL
Either the Resolution is wrong/fake, or this whole rumor = BS.
EDIT: Is 1280 × 800 resolution supported in 6.5.3 btw? Wait... Argh, I am wasting my time...

Yep, would be going down the iPad direction, to big for its use. The HD2 size is as big as I would want a mobile phone to be.

On the 'tipster' link which goes to the "source of the information" (http://mobilementalism.com/2010/03/15/leaked-pics-and-specs-of-htc-hd3-one-word-stunning/) there are a few pictures and one is a low quality list of specifications...
On this picture (http://mobilementalism.com/imageSnag/3768-4b9e890364290.jpg) note the words:

Blatent crock of <censored>!
(sighes, shakes head and sighes again)

I like how it says As you can see from the pics, it’s the real deal – it’s definitely not vapourware.

Cant believe no one has picked up on the fact that those specs say "32GB external memory".
Windows Phone 7 series has no removable storage support.

Let´s face it: if HTC builds the HD3 we don´t need that crappy WM7 which is of no good for nuthin`, just for stups that are barely able to handle an iPhone.
HD3 should run a stripped version of WinXP, cause with the roumored specs it plays the same league as Sony VAIO P, only better

the specs are slightly fake as it does say 32GB external memory which isn't allowed...for WM7 phones

Actually, apart from the screen, those specs seem quite similar to those of the HTC EVO.

It should have 32gb built in mem like the iPhone
why HTC doesnt do that ?

Hi.. So the best price I can find easily in europe is to buy the S7 Edge "Italia Tim" . Its on Amazon it

Hi.. So the best price I can find easily in europe is to buy the S7 Edge "Italia Tim" . Its on Amazon it
It says its the G935 but I guess firmware is for Italy. My concern is.. I'm American living in Greece now.. but want to return to USA and have Samsung pay work etc. and I don't know if updates will come from TIM ?? Supposed the phone only has like 3 apps put on by TIM and its unlocked. Is it worth it to pay a little more and get it from the UK Version?
Thanks for feedback

Either you buy this one or the non-branded one, you wont have any problem (Theoratically). I don't know tho about the SPay if it is going to work in america. I recommend you to flash a non-branded os once you get the phone. If you are going to use at&t or t-mobile, you are not going to have any problem with the signal

Thanks for the answer. Just to clarify... this "tim" version.. I can flash it correctly? And if so.. this takes away updates if they were from Tim? Far as I understand this version is unlocked and can be used anywhere (europe first etc)

If it is unlocked, no matter what branding it has, the device can be flashed with whatever os you want
