So, I just traded my G2 for a N1 :/
For those that have considered this here are my notes.
N1 Cons, that stick out after switching.
- feels slower.
- NO WIFI calling without hacking.
- NO keyboard
- LOT less space, could not install all the apps I had on the G2
N1 Pros.
- Slimmer, feels nicer in pocket.
- My battery is not eaten up by "Cell Standby", but rather the applications I use.
Umm yeah, I think I made a mistake

Agreed. Especially with the Nexus S just around the corner.
I have both phones and prefer the G2. I still love the screen on the Nexus, though!
I too have both phones, i use the G2 and my girl uses the N1. We will have to switch when Gingerbread hits.

Why would you do that without consulting us first?
Is there any chance you can trade back?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
In a sense you did a good trade and in a sense you didn't. Nexus is still a great phone. Its just isn't up to par with the g2. Of course newer phones newer hardware. But you still have a amazing phone on your hands that's worth keeping. Its the official dev phone for a reason. So don't feel upset, it could be worse. You could have traded for a vibrant lol.

Also the N1 only has two touch imputs (and they are terrible). I moved from the N1 to the G2 so yeah I really think you should have stayed.
Straight up?
If so you got hosed. Although the N1 would barely qualify as a downgrade.

Exactly lol I traded my vibrant for this g2 straight up and I feel bad for the guy who traded with me lol. I loved my vibrant especially with a custom rom but this phone is so awesome. But hey atleast you'll get gingerbread first =)

How are vibrants bad? The screen is one of the best ones available. So is the gpu and the hummingbird. Plus its slim and lightweight. It has its downsides but so does the g2.

Yeah... the Vibrant seems like a nice phone. Then you look at the brand and think to yourself, uhh... never mind.
Plus I wouldn't be crazy about an iPhone look-alike.

lol anyways... back to original topic, I hope op got lots of cash with that trade lol
i traded a vibrant for my g2 also...i got the vibrant back 3 days later after the guy bricked. i gave him my hd2 for it...a friend brought the vibrant back on odin....i'm happy and i'm looking to sell my nexus one asap
Who cares if the G2 isn't getting Gingerbread first? Since when has SW stopped a phone from being awesome, when it already has awesome SW? The fact of the matter is, 4 input touch screen lol. I love it, the N1 could never do that, and the capacitive buttons on the G2 are to die for. The OC capability on this phone are endless and Steve Klondik(Cyanogen) is working endlessly to make a Cyanogen build that is awesome for the G2. Gingerbread will come, but I'd much rather have it after ol' Cyan has added the icing to it.

I went directly from an N1 to a G2, last week. I have not found one thing that makes me regret my choice. The G2 just feels like the N1's natural successor.
Besides, Cyanogen himself has a G2 and will, I'm sure, be all over Gingerbread.

And what? You sure it isn't an iphone crap in that picture?
I hope so, and I like that image. No buttons, truly tablet convergence ice cream sandwich.
Hopefully the internals are something exciting like that N1 had for its time.
Going off my HTC experience the fewer buttons the better...
i prefer HTC/Moto
No trackball..... Trackball notification alerts are the best. Imagine an N1 with a 4" screen dual core, front camera, 4g and a trackball. That s my ideal N1 replacement.

i like the buttons but cheers to htc!
I've had the N1 now NS. And a Hero and EVO in between. While I love the build quality (feel) and the development for HTC devices, I had nothing but hardware problems with all of them. Both the T-Mo and Sprint versions of the NS have been flawless, so I'm kind of torn if I would upgrade to the N3...

I wanna see lg and sony ericsson entries as well. I'm just a bit disappointed with htcs design for right now. No capacitive buttons are just fine. But please dammit, listen like you've listened on the boot loader. Put in the trackballs as they have never been a problem but a compliment.

100% on you with that. HTC has to come out with something! I can't take all the drama over at the LTE. God those people are annoying and stupid at times

My biggest issue is that I'm an HTC Fanboy. I've had a few devices : Motorola, Samsuck, LG, Nokia, Blackberry, Sony, and even a Sanyo ( don't ask ) . Hated them all after a few days. Some only took an hour for me not to like the device. So it's really difficult for me not to own an HTC Device.
I'm with you on that. HTC made the first device is truly enjoyed owning... At the same time if the moto comes with an unlocked bootloader then I may consider it... The new Motorola devices are pretty nice... mainly the razr line

My last 3 phones have been HTC. A winmo 6 that I don't even remember the model #, a G1, and my shift. If HTC comes out with a full QWERTY slider I may still not be completely sold on it. I've come to the realization that either company's new phones will be powerhouses. My next phone must have a full slider, and give me a first impression of durability! And constructed so that otterbox can design a damned cover that will last more than a month! I'm with my shift until February anyway, so I'm giving both companies the needed time to appease me. Lol.
Is it just me or is Motorola's US site all dicked up?

I was looking at the htc one but seems like build quality issues and some people just dont like blink feed. As pretty as it is, I think I like the samsung form factor better as well as the options for removable battery/sdcard samsung gives you. And that dual shot feature, oh man I got ideas

Shamesung.
It's messed up.
Very sad but nothing new. Almost all major corporations engage in shifty practices such as this. However, they do not all get caught.
To give a bit of a perspective as to why I am moving from the one to the s4
I am not a HTC hater yes my last couple of phones have been Samsung but I thought of give HTC a go on my next upgrade and boy do I regret it
I don't regret it because it's HTC because in fact before my sammy days I always bought HTC I hate it because HTC sent out a brand new flagship with major issues
My first one had gone button problems and the camera when video recording was awful it had a high pitched hiss on it
My second had proximity sensor problems , the lights on home and back didn't work and worse still the screen wasn't sealed so white could be seen
The third which broke the camels back and made me change to the s4 on launch had once again home / back button problems
The one is a beautiful device but it's full of qa issues
So to Sammy I go again I'm hoping the s4 is perfect and I wish id waited for the s4

HTC is probably a year from getting sold to another company. I loved my One X, but they hosed the deployment by succumbing to AT&T locking the boot loader and then released the One X+ too soon.
They are circling the drain. Their delays on the One will probably kill them this time, that and once again locking the boot loader on the One on AT&T.

I have the G2 for 3 months now and I haven't seen anyone using a G2. I go outside a lot, in coffee shops, (I'm caffeine addicted) where I surf the web for hours and drinking coffee. I see thousands of people daily using their phone and NONE of them using the LG G2.
It is pretty obvious why; in my country (Romania), the telecoms are offering only the 16Gb version of the phone on the contract and this is stupid for a phone with no external SDcard, so nobody buys it. I feel unique in a nerdy way
I also think that LG Romania marketing sucks as they NEVER promoted the phone properly. They have stands in all the shops but none of them have the G2 on display, it's insane! Only the TVs are displayed, hundreds of them.
Anyways, it's amazing to see my friends' flickering eyes on my 35800 points on Antutu with stock ROM (they all have Samsung or Iphones)
A few weeks ago I saw a young teen sporting one at Disneyland... Everyone else where using iPhones or Samsungs...
I hate to see LG G2 doing so poorly when in reality its a beast!
I see it like this viral photo of a University auditorium filled with people and everyone except one was using Macbooks. The lone Acer user was quoted to be the only real smart person in the class! :good::laugh:
Cheers!
