Really tough delima - G1 General

Really simple, not sure if it should be posted here but anywho..
A friend of mine is wanting to trade his iPhone 1st Gen for my G1
Does this sound like a good deal, I'm kinda iffy on it because he is trading the G1 for a 3gs (iphone) but I don't know the girl who has it, he only knows her but anyways is it worth doing the trade?
G1 for iPhone
I really like the G1 for the keyboard but I'm just so iffy about it.
Carrier: AT&T (No 3g on the G1)

Trade an awesome phone with a great open os for a crappy ass iphone.hmmmm............that's a no brainer for me

sINCE YOUR OWN ATT ANYWAY AND NOT GETTIN 3G I SEE no reason to keep the g1 over an iphone. I think the g1 is most useful over 3g. But your friend gettin the better end of the deal. It would pissed me off at nite tho knowing that my friend juss got a 3gs for my g1. Maybe 50 bucks plus your g1 hes still gettin away with a deal but it always good yu have some extra cash

Youre gonna trade a G1 for a first gen iphone... then he's gonna take that phone YOU just traded him and get a better phone than the one he just gave you for your own.
Why dont you just trade the girl yourself and not get shafted?

I really don't see the dilemma here. Are you implying that the first gen (or any gen) iPhone is comparable to a G1?

Make sure to include some KY jelly in the trade.

I need your number so I can rip you off too we can do some trading too.

I got one of these I'll trade you for a G1 you might be able to get 3g on it.

not a tough dilemma. 1st gen iphone is just soo out dated
ur friend is goign to trade you a 1st gen phone for a phone that came out in 08 and then trade ur g1 for an iphone 3g... rip off. some friend.

On ATT you will have almost as fast of internet as the Tmobile 3g (at least in San Diego its true). I wish I would have stayed with ATT, I switched for 3g but it wasnt worth it IMHO and now that I have 3g my battery lasts 50% as long as it used to.

Ebay man. I just sold mine also (I to bought an iphone, need that 3G, bunch of apps and awsome touchscreen) It just sold today on ebay for $700. Not bad for a used HD.
doesn't ebay take part of your money?
bump...
..........
price? I already pm you.
Changing to Iphone? thats baaaad. three of my friends bought iphone, 2 got rid of it under 14days for free return and bought htc tytn2 and Diamond. Third one didnt because he paid so high price that he has to stay with it.
Good luck and have fun with your apple.
edit: remember, if you read apple forums never believe what they say. I would give you URL but it is in Finnish so useless. Funny to read those apple people: "My keyboard is badly made, battery doesnt work good anymore, bad screen, but other than that I like it. it is good for me."
ive used an iphone before.. ive never had a problem with it.. its so much better now with all the apps. tons of people have it.. theirs no issue. their are problems with all the phones.
no phone is perfect and not every phone is perfect for everyone.
thats all that has to be said.
I like the black rubber case... where'd you get it?
not sure where.. go to the accessories page in this forum and look it up

pm me your minimum price w/shipping. I'm in NV...
Have you sold it yet?? I'm interested
hey man goodluck with your sales. I'm starting to think if I should let my go too. I miss functional keys for text and is currently thinking about saving for the n97. Same size screen plus a keyboard. Hard decision to make. Also thought about the X1 as well. You stuck on getting the iphone 3g for sure? Why not consider unlocked phones with the US 3G band, that way you can get 3G data for less.

should i keep it?

I feel like a sap. I signed a 2 year contract and bought a Fender MyTouch. I have been wanting to replace my blackberry Pearl flip with a decent phone and I thought I could settle for the mytouch with boosted ram but I just feel like I spent money on an out of date device.
don't get me wrong. I like it. and I love android like I knew i would. and this device is leaps and bounds better than what I thought of touch screen devices before android phones came out. but is it worth keeping?
I was bothered by the fact that I learned I could have gotten a Nexus One for the same price. and that tmobile wouldn't refund my phone. so I looked up how this phone resold. surprisingly well! so I put it on Craig's list for 350 and to my second surprise I found a buyer.
now being the packrat I am. I am having second thoughts. I hate to let it go being stuck with tmobile contact prices. and I hate the idea of going back to my Pearl Flip.
the device I really want and have wanted since before it released in the US is the TP2. it has been out of my price range but with 350 I'm trying to score one on ebay in that budget. not so easy.
should I sell the phone, switch back to the crapberry, hope to score a cheap Rhodium, and have little money to pay bills?
or should I stick to my investment, be strapped for cash till for a bit, and learn to love the phone i have?
do you think rooting the phone flashing some roms, the new android upgrade supposedly coming for it, or time will make me love it?
or should I have listened to every review that says even with the memory boost and gimmick it's still a mediocre device and should now take the offer and try for something better?
I spent about 200 on it and getting 350 still puts me out about 90-110$ due to high contract prices but gives me a chance to get a TP2.
this is an lame first post but let me know your thoughts.
sell it and get a nexus one. then, in 5 months, kick yourself and buy the NEXT badass htc phone.
look how much faster they are already.
awesome.
postscript
i'm buying a mytouch tonight, for much less than the list. we'll see if i like it. if not, it's resale on craigslist - quick, and buying a nexus.
i think i'll like it though.
My $0.02
Sell it. So many great phones that will come out this year.
HTC HD2 is coming out in March 24th on T-Mobile, but the Windows Mobile OS might not be your forte.
Also, there's the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10
The rumored Nexus Two (aka Motorola Shadow) might have hardware keyboard.
Rumors of HTC Scorpion 1.5Ghz processor at the end of the year.

Sold it. Cant afford a Nexus One still but i am getting a used Rhodium.
Want an Leo but it will be awhile before i can afford it. That motorola shadow looks gey. The scorpion looks awesome and sexy but i think the Leo is sexier.
Seriously if HTC put a slideout rhodium keyboard and a few of other bells and whistles on a Leo and called it a Touch pro 3 i'd sell my kidney for it right now.

Evo smokes nexus

Boy the nexus looks like a pale terd compared to the evo. Sucks for you guys. You know, owning a pale, outdated terd.
............the ****?
mod close/lock/delete?
Troll much? Evo isn't too special yet. Rooted my friends last night and honestly out the box it runs slower than a rooted myTouch running senseUI.
You love it son

You ain't beating ****. You want to get violent over a phone,come get some.
funny cause i just came from the sprint store 15 minutes ago, playing with the evo, and it was a shame the evo was so slow and laggy. i felt actually bad. the nexus was so buttery smooth in comparison. i'm sure removing sense UI would fix it right up though. get vanilla android on that sucka!
All I have to say is, you're on Sprint.
Nexus wins.
i hope this thread stays open just for entertainment purposes
Don't be too hard on the poor guy! After all, not everyone can afford a Nexus One. The Evo is a very nice phone, but feels too big in the hand compared to the N1. The color saturation of the N1's screen and noise canceling mic is enough to keep me a happy camper!
BTW, the rodriguezstyle Froyo ROMs absolutley scream - they are so fast and smooth!

LOL so you got another (crappier) front facing camera for a video service that costs extra, an 8 MP camera in the rear, a s**tier screen which is bigger but dull and glossy as hell, and...oh yeah...otherwise identical hardware.
HAVE FUN WAITING FOR YOUR PRECIOUS SENSE UI FIRMWARE UPDATES...FOREVER. You'll be on 2.1 firmware till the end of time, while I run froyo and laugh at you...because I wont have to buy a new phone to get a software update. Enjoy. noob.
Your smoke is a thick cloud of cr#p!
Mod: close this.

+1 sprint sucks ass
no seriosuly leave this open... It is hilarious.
He spelled turd wrong.
I don't think he's the sharpest tool in the shed.
Good luck fitting that thing in ur pocket. I wouldn't use an evo if u paid me. Not to mention by the time the evo gets froyo we will already be on Lollypop

Vibrant being demo'd at T-Mobile stores today.

Call ahead of time.
Fun!

Phone feels great. Very impressed.
Some people kept saying it felt cheap but it does NOT feel cheap it feels well made but it doesn't feel as good as a Nexus One.
Some people said and showed on video that it was laggy but it was NOT when I tested it.
I like how thin it is and the XL Super AMOLED Screen
I also just demoed one. And sad to say it kills my nexus. The screen is absolutely gorgeous .... avatar was like blue ray quality and the 3d gpu really is nice.
I ran neocore and it was just amazing... the phone is light but does not feel cheap at all, actulmy very surprised after some reviews said its like a toy..
I'm selling my n1 now and getting g one as soon as I can

I sold my N1 Monday and been without a phone for a few days
I think some people say it feels cheap because of the weight and they think heavy phones are made with better materials, That's like saying the $750,000 Zonda F (witch is made of Carbon fiber) is cheap because it's lighter than most super cars .

$650 with the car dock and 300 apps on the SD
I targeted people over seas, that's were you will get the most money because most of those guys can't get it and the android phones they have don't have protected apps or paid apps in the market.

I just bought my older brother his evo.. and he frickin loves it..he used to own an iphone 3gs
sent from my satan fone
That is great! I just sent it to my brother with a iphone 3gs
Got to love the advertisement.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
That is awesome
I mean really, epic win for motorola's marketing team
Motorola can suck it. Did we all forget they are trying to keep there phones from being unlocked? Also, cant you unlock the iPhone and get flash that way?
Lastly, most of us unlock our phones so we can get the extra featuers the devs left out or the carriers locked us from. Personaly the iPhone is just as capable if not better and doing some of the stuff our phones do. Not only that but it paved the way for Android. I never owned an I phone my rep on PPCGeeks is far above my posts so I am not a fan boy flagging you blind fools. Just stating the obvious. Ill probably never own an iPhone. Something about apple I just cant get it. They market these devices that all do the same thing. An iPod touch is an iPhone without the phone. Why would you need both and many people do by both. Whatever, not that you guys are idiots but there are just to many idiots spending money on something as dumb as an iProduct. Steve Jobs easily owns the pawns that by his crap.
Dang I am just contradictive today.
two things i love about iphone - games and battery life
other wise i prefer everything else about the evo
but to increase battery life i'm getting a second battery tomorrow - another thing iphone can't do haha
also i am an apple fan myself but not a fanboy of anything
preferances
android
mac os
my view on this matter is "no product is better then the other, just one happens to have features you like better then the other"
