Just wanted to say bye, and thanks, to everyone in the G1 Forum.
I've now sold my G1 and got a desire (which is awesome and dare I say it 10x better than the G1).
Thanks to everyone who has given me support, SuperD, Cyanogen and anyone else's rom I've used.
I'm waiting for a US release so I can use 3G or maybe even 4G. Hope you have fun with your desire.

but isn't it a GSM phone? capable of international use and unlock purchase? If so, you shouldn't have any problem getting 3g with your service provider.

USA 3G bands are "special." With the Desire you can't get 3G with either AT&T or T-Mobile.
Just to let you guys know, apparently it's coming out in Australia on some network that uses the same 3G Bands as the USA.

Out of curiosity, how much did you get for your G1? Sell it on ebay?

£130 on ebay, pretty decent as I didn't sell the SD Card with it.
I had intended to sell the 16gb SD Card, Phone (Boxed) and Motorola s9 wireless earphones.
The buyer wanted me to end the auction early and offered £130 for the phone only, guess I got lucky.
Same here, i got my Desire on Saturday and couldn't be happier with it!
Though i'm a sucker and gave my G1 to my dad, keep it in the family and all
Gonna sell my Hero though, i saw they still fetch around £180 on ebay...
Hey everybody I'm on AT&T with an iPhone 4 and I would like to switch to an Android device. However, the captivate is definetely not an option for me becuase I don't like Touchwiz and the design of the device. Is it possible to use a T-Mobile G2 on AT&T? If so, will it have AT&T 3G speeds? Thanks guys!
Please search before posting a thread. There are a couple of threads identical to yours.
You can use the g2 if you get sim unlock, however 3g will not work on at&t.

As the title says, I am looking for an HTC Desire Z that works on Rogers / Fido / Telus / Bell (in Canada); AT&T in the US.
If you have one and want to arrange a trade, or just have questions, send me a PM.
Is this basically the Tmobile G2?

That's right. The G2 is basically the same phone as the Desire Z; although the G2 won't work on my network if I understand it correctly (or the 3G won't work at least).

Sorry, I was a bit unclear. I meant they've been flashing either G2 ROMs on a desire Z or vice versa, can't remember which.
Both phones will work on GSM networks.. Bell's desire Z has the hardware for At&t 3g while the G2 does not, but you could pop a sim in an unlocked G2 and get edge speeds on at&t. i wouldnt do that though
Yea I don't think I could live without at least 3G speeds on my cell. I travel alot and have my fair share of Edge only.
Why are you ditching your Nexus One when Gingerbread is within reach?
Maybe craigslist is more realistic.

I'll be waiting for it on my N1 too... I can be patient. AOSP is great for some, but until I see what is actually in Gingerbread I'll stick with the cyanogenmod Froyo.

I posted on kijiji as well. Nobody uses craigslist where I am.
I'm really not displeased with my nexus one, I just prefer a physical keyboard.
try in the marketplace here. be prepared to add money to your end of the deal as the Z goes for about $550. Part of me wants to get the Z cause I do miss having a keyboard, and it is faster, but my N1 still runs beautifully and I get to play with gingerbread first.
good luck on finding someone to trade with.

I for some reason had a momentary lapse in judgement, renewed my contract and got a GD iPhone 5s. I'm exchanging it ASAP and the only appealing device to me is the G2. I'm with Bell mobility in Canada, which one would it be? it's the D803.

I'd exchange my G2 with you! j/k.
I think you may have answered your own question though, it is a D803 and is separate from most of the US variants (D802). It's also physically different with the Verizon LG G2 that has differently sized buttons.

So essentially don't get it because there's nothing for it?
Here are the model breakdowns
D800 - AT&T
D801 - T-Mobile
D802 - International
D803 - Canadian
Technically the D800 and D803 are the same physically. The software will be a little different as one has been tweaked by AT&T (D800) and the other has been tweaked by Bell (although I haven't found any Bell apps on my G2).
Therefore, most ROMs designed for the D800 will work with Bell's D803, although there maybe some bugs. Just check thoroughly in the ROM thread before committing to installing the ROM.

G2 hasn't been available for a full month yet. Have some patience and respect for the devs. Your implied sense of entitlement for custom ROMs is showing.
We just switched from Verizon to T-Mobile prepaid, and I picked up the Nexus 5. I'm looking at trading it with a guy for a T-Mobile LG G2 and have a couple of questions for the G2 users out there, especially on T-Mobile:
Will the T-Mobile G2 work on AT&T? Since we're prepaid, I'd like to have options if T-Mobile's prepaid network sucks. I guess the question is how unlocked or unlockable is it? Or is it limited to just T-Mobile's frequencies?
G2 Users with Kids - how is the camera in day to day usage? I know it *can* take great shots in multiple scenarios, but how is it with the kiddos? Is it a good experience? Frustrating at times? My main frustration with the Nexus 5's camera is the slow shutter, because it tends to blur simple shots of my kids faces if they happen to move a little... So I'm curious about those scenarios.
TIA for any info!

The T-Mobile varient (D801) will need to be unlocked to work on other carriers.
I actually cancelled my Nexus 5 order and ordered an LG G2 so it doesn't come in until later today.

Ok - but it *will* work, and fully... That was my main concern. The guy I'm trading with bought it directly from LG, full retail, so I'm hoping it can be unlocked easily.

These are the bands for the T-Mobile LG G2 (D801): GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz, UTMS I/II/IV/V, LTE 2, 4, 17*
It has both bands 4 and 17 which AT&T LTE works on.
Thanks for that info OMEiAM - I was mobile so I couldn't look that stuff up, I appreciate it.
Anybody got any input on the camera question?
Take a look in the forums here for a 1.70 unlock thread. From what I've read it worked for most people.

Hi There,
I tried this method unlockcode247.com/imei/1/40/LG-USA-TMobile--ATampT-Unlock--all-models-[/url] last night and it worked absolutely fine on my D-801 T-Mobile Version of LG G2. Here is what you do
1. Fill in your IMEI
2. Purchase the unlock code
3. Wait for 4-6 hours to receive your unlock code in an email. (I got mine in less than 4hrs)
4. Follow the instructions on the site above
5. Pop-in at&t sim card and follow Method #2, worked for me.
6. I tested it by calling someone and worked fine with at&t sim card on my T-Mobile LG G2

Regarding your camera question, I'm in the same boat. I bought a Nexus 5 and while it is a great phone, the camera is almost unusable for the scenario that you described. Trying to get my kids to stay still so I can get a clear shot is impossible so the Nexus is going to have to go back. I'm still debating which phone to get but I'm leaning toward a G2 because of the battery life and supposedly good camera.

I ended up making the swap today. Haven't had a chance to play with it much, but the camera is a LOT faster than the N5's, and just feels better. I didn't hate the N5's camera at all, it was solid in a lot of situations. But we'll see how it does with my kids, I'll try and force some shots this evening.
I will say the G2 feels as fast, if not a bit faster (probably just animations) than the N5 - though the one I traded for is running Buckeye V2, which is still 4.2.2, but probably tweaked a bit. So I'm not pure stock, but close. It's also more ergonomic, which is nice.
Stock Rom is a beast. I'd be sure to spend a week with it. There are tons of stock Rom mods but it'd pretty awesome with the way it works.

It came with Buckeye v2 on it so I've stuck with that for now - pretty nice. Looks like stock with just a few helpful tweaks.
Camera is great - a little slow in low-light, though. The viewfinder crawls and it takes forever to focus in low-light.
