Next Android phone with keyboard? - G1 General

I'm looking for a new Android phone with a keyboard. I was looking at the Droid but people said the keyboard was crappy.
What are your thoughts? I currently have a G1 but I want to buy a new phone. Must have keyboard and android ftw
Thanks.

cliq....once its rootable

i didnt think it's keyboard was so great...or its specs.
ide wait.

I wonder when HTC will bring out a new phone similar to the G1.

Until a hardware keyboard, Android, snapdragon combo is here, I'm sticking with my Dream :3

2nd that!!!

I'm still waiting...

Check out the HTC 2010 roadmap here.
Theres nothing really like the dream, which is close to being perfect for me.
It looks like you may need to look at someone else from HTC is you want the physical keyboard.
Hope it helps man

I 3rd that!

Yeah I'm sticking with my G1 until snapdragon but i also want a phone with a keyboard. Can we please have Android 3 on a phone with the same form factor as the Droid except with better keyboard and snapdragon? Not to mention a battery that easily lasts an entire day?

I like the HTC Legend, but that's probably just because it has that Iphone 1st gen back case look. :]
Will admit I am a fan of the Iphone 1g.
But hey! Let's start an email to send to htc reps to suggest them remaking the g1 with better specs!
I've emailed them before and they got back to me about it and all

I 4th that

I'd like one as well.

i for one, am going with whatever cyanogen moves to

Cyanogen is the man!! Alex has the right idea...... Stock OS on the G1 is soo boring, its something anyone has. Cyanogen Mod can only be fully appreciated with a full qwerty keyboard.

Hi all,
My G1 is slowly either outgrowing me or dying. I can't tell wether it is getting slower or if that is just me wanting something faster:/
Anyways, Im thinking of getting a new android phone But I don't know what to get...
Im stuck between the Motorola Milestone (DROID) and the Google Nexus One.
Those are the only two that I am considering, as in the UK there is only a £40 difference between the two...
So (Extremely nice community), What should I get ?

Nexus one for sure! snapdragon ftw! Droid is blocky and has a bad keyboard, mytouch is sleek and beautiful

I am nearly in the same situation, i want to buy a new phone next week and the nexus one and the milestone are the phones that i am looking for.
I think i will get the milestone, i love the design (i think the "blockness" is really cool instead of this iPhone design), i think the keyboard isn't that bad and a hardware keyboard is a nice to have feature (it's the only reason i still have my G1).
For sure, the snapdragon is great, but i don't think that it is that much better then the 600mhz milestone processor...
But on the other hand the htc device will have support by the xda-devs... and that is definately the thing i don't want to miss.
1Ghz IS pretty much a big difference from 600mhz, thats almost twice as fast. Also Nexus One has an **AMAZING** Samsung AMOLED Display which is high res, and produces GREAT colors and contrast.
I desperately want a new phone too, and the Nexus would be my choice - if it had a proper, decent hardware keyboard. As it stands, the Nexus has no keyboard, and the Droid/Milestone has a sh*t keyboard. So I'm waiting for something else to come along...
Consider a new rom to speed up your G1 for the time being - I'm using Dwang at the moment.
I dont see the big deal about a hardware keyboard. I had a mytouch 3g and I didnt really like the smalle Virtual keyboard, but on the N1, the screen is HUGE! and the keys are so easy to press. I realize a HW Keyboard will always be more comfortable, but I dont see this as a reason by itself to not get a Nexus One.

I thought it was gonna be Nexus One or Xperia X10. but even if it was out i think i would still go with nexus one just because of my service provider. Nexus over Droid off of hardware specs.

You should wait though...The year just started!
Newer phones will be released mid-yearish~
Ex:
MT3G came out then cliq,hero,etc were released not to far after...Just wait like 3 months and they might have a faster phone than the Nexus.Maybe-Mybe not.

Which Android Device are you planning to get?

With the announcement of many new Android phones, I'm a bit torn on which to get. I'm just curious where everyone else is headed.
I think I'll be making the switch from WM (had a Touch pro) to an Android based phone. I'm leaning heavily towards the Xperia X10.
How about you guys?
Edit:
This may not be the right spot to put this thread, but I don't think it fit into the others that well. Please move this as seen fit.
wheres the option
" HTC hd2 "
j/k haha

Hehe, I've just sold my HD2 for the poor OS.
I've dreamed an HD2 device with Android!
I've bought an HTC Desire. I'll receive it in a mounth. Now I'm with my OLD GOOD Nokia 6630 LOL!
So far, if everything is 100% okay with the X10, the only drawback I see to owning one is that it won't be supported by the XDA community.
Anyone else looking at this phone?
i was expecting the new htc phones to buy a new phone and i 'm glad i did waited. i am VERY attracted to HTC Legend cause of its style and design but i want the performance of desire too. if there is a gap in price between them i will go for legend else it's desire.
Read my comparison of the two and tell me any difference there is in bewtween these two phones!!!
i want the desire!!!
but im on verizon..ugh
imhoping verizon gets a new NICER looking phone then the droid
imo its so ugly haha

None of you thought about the Dell Mini 5 (aka Streak)?

Should I Buy an HTC HD2.. I am keeping th G1 though

I like the HTC HD2 screen size but... ITS WINDOWS MOBILE 6.5! YUCK!
Hopefully Android will be ported over to it when the HTC Evo 4g comes out right? I would kill for that phone
Any opinions as I am making this decision soon...
Greatest hardware in the world is still crap if it's crippled with WM 6.5.
Android was ported but not to the American Version. It probably won't be a long wait though.

Your better off getting a WMP7, the UI is great and reminds me of my Zune HD. I like winmo, iphone os, and now android too

Why not just get a GN1? Its a better phone and has the benefit of coming with android 2.1 and not giving a single penny over to evilMS.

Yeah it reminds me of the Zune HD, but as a phone I think the OS is a stupid design. It doesn't seem fluid at all. This, of course, is coming from someone who hasn't had first hand experience. I have only seen videos, and of those videos, I am not impressed.

Ditto. I've never liked Windows Mobile. Symbian was way better than it, and I have to say, Android has blew symbian out of the water now. But didn't xda port android to it? Meh, I've never been a fan of ports, either. Here's what I'm doing: waiting till an upgrade period and if there's any whispers of a phone after the N1, I'll just wait for it and get that.
I have been lurking awile and I wanted to give opinion on the hd2 because I was in the same sitiaution when the hd2 came out. I was following the hd2 since october. And I was e excited about it. I was at the store early got it and I returned it the next day. I have been using a G1 since it came and then played around with a jailbroken and unlocked iphone and the hd2 was terrible. The. Phone itself is gorgeous but once you get over the bells and whistles its not user friendly and it locked up on me 5 times the period I had it.. I am just sticking to my G1 until somethin better comes out I cam say I prefer my rooted eclair G1 over the hd2 and the only other phone I would replace my g with now would an N1 but I don't want to pay the hefty price tag. I know you can flash the hd2 and all that but I don't like the idea of flashing a phone just to get it to work but rather flash, root, jailbreak to make it better. My G1 works fine out the box but its totally different. Beast when you root it.. aside from the freezing issues with the hd2, its just not. User friendly and the phone quality is terrible imo. You can get one for yourself but I would stick with my trusty g1..

There was an article on Wired that interview the guy from XDA that flashed an Android ROM on a WM phone. Pretty interesting except he is in the UK so I would be hesitant to try it just yet

Hmmm.. I'll have to pay attention to that.
Do you have the link?
I had a G1 and now have a HD2. I love the hardware and the winmo is just okay. My phone works great and the screen is awesome.
I do miss my G1. Everyone who likes winmo says it is great for business users. I am just an average user and miss my android apps. I played euchre on my G1 and the only euchre game I can find for winmo is $12.99. Not near as many apps and not many free apps.
I am patiently waiting for android to be ported to the HD2. There are no working ports of android on the HD2 so far. As is says in the previous post they have android ported to a winmo phone. But if you read the thread on XDA, the android port for the HD2 is really not even close.
Don't know about everyone else, but I bought the G1 at launch (10-24-08) and my contract won't be up until November.
I'm hoping for some good Win 7 phones by that time, with a physical keyboard.

i have to say.... im waiting for ANY good phone with a keyboard. companies seem to be stuck on touchscreen as most people like it because it's "sooo cool." cool as it is, it's a pain in the end. my main issue is the lag of the keyboard... it can't keep up with me! at least physical seems to NEVER lag unless the actual phone itself is encountering a laggy moment.

Can Android be put on an HTC HD2?

I am thinking of getting a new phone since my G1 is becoming really outdated, and was figuring between this and the Nexus One. Which do you think is better? I am assuming if you can put Android on this this one would be better right??

Yes, being able to dual-boot to Android on this phone would easily make it the undisputed ultimate king of mobile hardware
However, there's not an Android port for this phone...yet. It's being worked on, but it's ETA is likely months away
Ah, lmao. Thanks for the info . From your experience is it worth getting for Winmo?

For me, yes, it's been 110% worth it. For you? Couldn't say.
Many people are discussing the HD2 vs Nexus 1 debate, but I think the real WM/Android decision right now would be HD2 vs the upcoming Incredible/Desire (both Android). Now, there will probably be a version of Android that eventually makes it on the HD2...but I doubt there's much chance somebody will bother to port WM to the Incredible/Desire.
I personally like WM and Android both, but for different reasons....and if I have to choose only one at the moment, it's gotta be WM for me. But I'm happy that I'll be running it on a piece of hardware that will probably be able to run both before too long anyway
Thanks for the input. When is the HTC Desire/Incredible coming to T-Mobile?

Yes.
I'm a big fan of Android and this is my first WinMo device, so I have been surprised to learn that bare bones, I prefer WinMo. It's the apps which have been the biggest issue. Android clearly wins in that department, but you can usually find an app for the most used ones on Android. The functionality may not be as great on some apps and you definitely have to search to find them, but you can get the job done.

It's only a hopeful rumor right now that T-Mobile could get the Incredible, but I'd be surprised if at least one of those two didn't end up with Magenta badging at some point.

Another possibility is that Tmo will get a version of the Samsung Galaxy X, another Snapdragon-powered android powerhouse.

HTC desire is the Euro version of the Nexus one (which has been out for Tmobile since it's release date back in January).

I'm on my 5th WM device [Ipaq 6315, MDA, Wing TP2, HD2] so theres one thing I've understood: 99% of apps ARE NOT in the Market Place. Seek and you shall find.
...and for you Android fans - I suggest you buy an Android device. There is no guarantee that Android will ever be ported to the HD2 and even if it was, who knows how buggy its prone to be.
I'll admit HD2 is really nice. WM sucks on it, but I can deal with it because I know devs will find a way to put android on it! Hopefully a solution for the pixelated pictures in web browsing too. <--- that's my only complaint with this phone.. : )

If you think WinMo sucks, you shouldn't have this phone. It will be a long time before there's a good android port for it.... by the time there is, there will definitely be android phones with much better specs.
Yeah thats what i been saying. That andriod port is a way off, even with the evo coming, the hd2 will be obsolete by the time it arrives, which is why i am trying to dump mine now.
Ahh thanks for the suggestions.

What will be the G2/Desire Z successor?

Let me first say that we all know that the Desire Z is an amazing phone and still is. It's got a great camera, speed, screen, features, keyboard, sound, unlocked bootloader, etc. However at the current moment there isn't really a great successor to it in my opinion. And by successor I don't mean a true successor of course. Let's take a look at some QWERTY phones on the market:
MyTouch 4G Slide
http://www.gsmarena.com/t_mobile_mytouch_4g_slide-4018.php
It's basically a G2 with slightly better specs and a better camera. Not much of an upgrade.
Droid 3
http://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_droid_3-4036.php
Last time I heard it had a locked bootloader so it has very limited software support. Definitely not friendly in that department. Specs are better than the 4G Slide.
Captivate Glide
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i927_captivate_glide-4071.php
I had high hopes for this one. It has a lot of improvements such as a AMOLED screen, slightly bigger screen, and similar specs to the Galaxy S2. However, it is somewhat of a downgraded Galaxy S2 considering that it came out just recently as it lacks LTE support and it does not have a higher resolution than the G2. However Samsung is friendly to the open source community. Oh also no LED notification (Ahh!).
So if I had to pick now it would be the Captivate Glide but I am not going to. I am hoping that HTC will make the G3 and put all their top tier specs onto the QWERTY phone like they did with the G2, including a bigger and higher resolution screen, LTE support, quad core CPU, etc.
Long live the G2/Desire Z!
Oh and yes the Droid 4 is coming out. From the looks of it, it will be a Droid RAZR but in QWERTY.
Droid 4 sure looks interesting but will it make it to Europe ah probably will, under the name Milestone. I like the way the 4 basic android buttons are still present, hope ICS wont kill them in the future phones.
Not going to change my phone for a while tough DZ works great, had it for about a year now. And i suppose it depends also if these phones will get MIUI rom . But i'm interested to see HTC make G3, not just yet tough, next summer maybe. within a year i hope.
i was caught by this statement "However Samsung is friendly to the open source community. Oh also no LED notification (Ahh!)."
is HTC not dev friendly? me? yeah. sucks. they left Desire series. that includes our Z.
anyway going back to the topic. i prefer the Glide.
No offense but the g2's camera sucks. Video recording is like 20fps in areas slightly less than ideal lighting conditions and stills require a steady hand and ideal lighting.
The Captivate Glide sounded interesting at first. But the more I read, the more I'm disappointed.
http://techcrunch.com/2011/11/20/review-samsung-captivate-glide-att/
http://reviews.cnet.com/smartphones/samsung-captivate-glide-at/4505-6452_7-35033579.html?tag=mncol;rvwBody#reviewPage1
Sounds like crappy exterior build quality, and bad keyboard. And as the OP mentioned, no LTE. Really not much of an upgrade from the G2/DZ, IMO.
And the 1 GHz CPU on the Captivate Glide seems obsolete out of the box, as the high end smartphones are going to 1.2 GHz and higher nowadays.
Like everyone here mention Droid 4 is awesome I dont like sammy software as i myself had epic 4g it was buggy on input that physical keyboard wasnt even optimize for the software like on full touch screen galaxy line. As im more in love with stock aka pure google or vanilla phones. I would wait for htc to release the G3 before deciding to get another plus all the apps i want i can get. Their no point upgrading if android market is supporting our phones. I love droid when it was the first one because of vanilla experience unless moto change their way i wont get the droid 4. Droid 3 is awesome but i dislike both Motoblur and Sense ui referring to htc phone on that. I rather have touchwiz before both. But it your pick on what phone your getting.
i wouldn't go as far as to say the DZ has a great screen. it actually kinda sucks. so I think the next best thing will be ANY phone with a keyboard, better screen, better camera, will probably be HTC (or moto now that google is running things there) and at the very least just as fast (but faster probably and probably dual core). so..... the MT4GS? lol
Look like g1 got android 4.0 os lol wow not even the first iphone got 4.0 os apple is for losers .

did you even watch the video?
ICS runs like **** in it
iOS 4 and 5 would like run like **** on the iPhone 1 Gen
You honestly want to talk about android fragmentation?
Sure looks like we are in for a long wait until the next Scandinavian QWERTY Android is here. My DZ is still great though.

Yeah DZ rocks as long. Before i buy anything i probably wait for it to get MIUI. I don't like sense, not sure about motoblur/touchwiz, never used them. So i might even enjoy them.
Anyway i get the hardware i like and root it to get the firmware the way i like. I'd like to see G3 popping up in 9 months.
I honestly dont think the Htc g3 will appears for a while until t-mobile feel like making g2 users jump the wagon. Because mytouch slide 4g was the same screen size i didnt like that it had sense ui to be honest/.
Specs the mytouch 4g slide is better but i dont like sense ui, to me that not better in my opinion,if im going to root a phone i dont want to root it for Stock ui .
i want to have stock already just overclock it and use root explorer to delete the apps i dont like.

Dude this is in alpha it show that iphone that say android cant run higher then 1.6 to 2.1 is wrong?
Im just saying i had g1 when it was 1.0 and update 1.1 in march 2009, update 1.5 in late may to june 2009. update/upgrade 1.6 os in early october 2009.
Google g1 was best phone that run all version of all time.
I dont think the nexus one will past beyond Ice cream sandwich and if it do android 4.5 os or 5.0 jelly bean will be it last update.
Same with phone from late 2010 Either Ice cream sandwich or Jelly bean will be it last updates also.

If you don't like Sense, why buy HTC?

That one seems like vapourware. Wasn't it rumored like 1 year ago?

the roadmap was leaked a year ago. the hancock was slated for Q4 2011, but no news of it

p.s vaporware was duke nukem forever. You need several years of broken promises to be considered vaporware. in duke's case, something like a decade.

because you can root the phone and put in CM/MIUI/insertROMhere? Most people simply like the build and spec that HTC offers.
Sorry for this gravedig, but are there any new possible successors? I don't think so right?

I'm wondering the same thing, as one of my kids might be in the market for a new phone, and they like h/w keyboards.
Sent from my Desire Z running CM7.
