Alright guys, I've had my G2 since November 2, and now I am realizing that I really don't need a hard keyboard since I'm coming from an iPhone and haven't used a Hard keyboard since I've sold my G1 in January 09.
What I'm going to do is, sell this phone and go out and get a MyTouch.
I love the G2 but the keyboard and bulky feeling gets to me. It's quick and love the keyboard once in a while writing fast texts.
Now I'm stuck in the middle, should I do it?
With the G2, CyanogenMod works and is supported by Cyanogen himself.
And also, the G2 is stock, and feels like there is more devs making roms for it.
What do you guys think I should do? THanks
I switched for the same reason and haven't looked back. You'll enjoy the better camera, better video recording, extra ram, ffc, hard touch buttons, and thinner design.
IMO by reading your post I can tell your curious about the mt4g and I sense as though you may have already made up your mind lol you are correct on all accounts as far as dev support (so far), I say if you are in a position to try it out why not? I don't think you will be disappointed just make sure you get the "good" display.
there's a lot more Dev support for the G2
I was worried about Dev support coming from the Vibrant, which has a pretty good community.
Funny thing is....the MT4G is fast as lightning stock...and really all I'm worried about is rooting to remove some bloatware and some theming.
I might run Cyanogenmod (which looks like it's pretty easily ported) eventually, but this is my first sense (ish) phone and it's not too bad. Plus I like a lot of the things that they packed in (in particular the browser enhancements).
The Vibrant: There were tons of roms and speed hacks and dev work because the phone was garbage without it.
The MT4G: Pretty damn sweet and fast as lightning stock.
Came from the same thing you are im good with the mytouch better faster and ffc go for it you wont regret it
someone at my job has the g2 when she sees my mytouch running evil-hd Rom she regrets buying her phone, keyboard on that thing is useless in comparison to voice to text swipe, gingerbread keyboard (cm only) etc.. Our dev support isn't so bad these days, we even have a miui Rom so I say take the plunge no regrets

Alright, I've made up my mind. I want the MyTouch. But now the problem is getting rid of the G2 and getting a MyTouch. The G2 cost $50 more retail than the MyTouch but already the value is **** on craigslist. I can't get $400 for it. I've tired emailing and calling a couple people to see if they'd like to trade, no one wants too.
Once I get rid of this G2, I am in for the MyTouch. I don't care about the color anymore, lol, white or black, other than the red and purple.
Anyone here know where else I can sell it? eBay? I don't want too cause paypal and eBay take big chunk of the money... Ughhhhhh, If I can't I'm going to stick it with this phone. I like it but the MyTouch is better but whatever.
But the thing is, I really use the keyboard on this thing though. I hate using the swype or any other soft KB for long text messages, the hard KB is just easy to type on.
Last Friday I sold a G2 for 300 on C/L.
Saturday bought a Nexus S on a contract upgrade.
Returned the Nexus S this morning, canceled contract.
(I could not deal with the phone having no way to move the curser)
Tonight bought a MyTouch 4G brand new for 350 on C/L.
Impressions... the MT4G is a faster better phone then the G2
but the bloat ware is horrible.
I'm too used to the stock android on my Nexus One.
I have a G2 and I wind up with a free mytouch 4g due to some contact shifting. I didn't care for it at first, and went back to my G2. Then I gave it another chance, and used it over last weekend. I was bummed about what I perceived to be poor battery life compared to my wife's G2. When I went back to the G2 I realized what bugged me about it: the keyboard is a little too stiff for me, and I went back to the mytouch. It's my fifth Android phone, and the best I've used.
Well buddy I am in the same boat as you are and like you I also wanted G2 but later switched to MT4G, thank god I didn't buy G2 or I would have regretted it by now as MT4G is superior. Now I come from HD2 community and we all know the advancement we achieved in past few months which is unbeatable at this point by any device when it comes to total custom control. Only reason I am even considering MT4G is due to my beloved HD2 being stolen. Other than that I wouldn't even think about upgrading until there was viable dual core mobile processor based device in the market.

Well, after comparing many phones to MT4G in many areas like spec, benchmark, IRL usability (browser, map, cam, ect). This is the overall result I got in my opinion so I am not trying to be biased here as I myself voted for HD2. But the only device that did beat MT4G in my opinion was Desire HD which is what I wanted only if they supported 3G in USA, hell IDK why HTC make stupid decisions. I know ill be super pissed of if they realse DHD in USA with US model just like they did with HD2.

Thanks for the replies. I got myself a white one today, even trade with the G2. Haven't got to play with it much yet but I'm living the form factor of the phone. For done reason the screen feels brighter and bigger, hence only being one inch bigger. Can't wait until I root it and get this baby going wanted the black one cause it looks slick but this will do until someone wanted to trade their black one for a white one, anyone?
Edit, you can probably tell in using swype, just have to let go of that urge to whoop out the physical keyboard when I get frustrated with swype or the soft keyboard.

Thanks. I got it. Now there's a couple things I need to fix or get it to work. Just the lack of roms, coming from the G2 annoys me. There's no good rom out there.
And the battery issue, it won't update or show the correct values of the battery

Talking about lack of roms and development. As im already semi-migrating from HD2 to MT4G, didn't buy MT4G yet until few of the bull**** is fixed by HTC (washed out display, off center ffc, creaky buttons, ect) makes you think how it even passed QC in first place. I mean if I am welling to pay and will pay the full device price of $450 then I expect it to work. Most importantly I hope this phone can live up to my HD2 standard when it comes specially to customizability, I mean we all know how versatile HD2 is hell folks down there want me to forget about MT4G and buy another HD2 lol. I hope as time goes on MT4G community also grows along with development.
Try using team silences' Iced glacier Rom, its the stock mytouch Rom so its super stable, but it doesnt have all the bloatware. As far as your battery goes download setup(free) from the market, that along with some other phone weeks should help your battery life substantially. Also titanium backup is another app to download (free) that can help you further remove bloatware.

So what made you choose the G2? And how long are you gonna stick with it?

I just love it
My last 2 phones were a HTC Kaiser and a Touch Pro 2. With both I felt I had never would need another phone.
Well, more and more things were coming to Android only, a lot of apps (Facebook, maps, google's native things) look and work a whole lot better on android, so I thought to switch. I drooled over having 720p HD video.
I wanted to stick with a qwerty.
These all made me want a Desire Z.
...and Santa brought me one... ))
I chosed da g2 after droping my mt3G on the toilet. At first I wanted the vibrant but after reading and seen pics of the g2 it was a perfect match this phone has everythig I hoped for and more rooted about 5 minutes after getting it lol

I swear, for a minute I thought your reply was my reply.
Just like you, I went form a kaiser to the TP2 and now the Desire Z. Just like you, I thought my previous phones were the mother of all inventions and I wouldnt need another phone in my lifetime . I would have upgraded in November but I thought I would just hold on to the TP2 until the middle of this year but the dreaded newton rings appeared on the TP2 last week (2nd time in 6months) so I was 'forced' to upgrade. I also must have a physical keyboard but I flirted with the Desire HD and Nexus S. The DHD was just too big and the NS didnt have a keyboard. Despite all the noise about the hinge, I bit the bullet and got the Desire Z and I thank gooness I did. Absolutely no regrets. My TP2 now feels like an early 90s phone.
Just in case anyone is interested, my TP2 with a brand new screen and absolutely no scratches + all accessories and an 8GB microSD card is up for sale @ £150.

I have to admit I use the qwerty keyboard less frequently on the DZ.
Reason one: it's good to type with touch input, it even support X9 in Hungarian (while the qwerty supports English only) so it completes a lot of words right.
Reason two: I donno if this is a question of getting used to it or not, but the keyboard is a lot worse than on the TP2. I wouldn't dis it, neither the hinge, cause it's not a problem either. It's just more awkward typing on it, plus special chars in hungarian work different than previously on the TP2.
I do not regret the TP2. There are soooo many advantages of the DZ and Android they make me forget the front camera, too.
It was the only decent device my carrier offered other than the SGS which suffered the all too well known corrupted SD due to samsung failure.
I was never too crazy about the keyboard, but have grown to like and use it.
I do miss the SA screen, screen dimensions, and the device dimensions, - but the usability added by sense is amazing. Plus the DZ seems to be much faster and more stable to me based purely on my own usage.
I've gone through so many phones and the g2 impressed me so much that I had to get it. And the fact that it was one of the first phone compatible with hspa.

I'm coming from the touch pro 2. I was looking to stick with the physical keyboard and it takes a while to get to the one on the g2. I wanted a phone to have wifi calling since I do not get any service in some of my classes at college. Android apps are no iphone apps but they work. Windows mobile is highly customizable and I like being able to have the option to do so on the G2 if ever needed. I will hold on to my G2 for as long as I can or till a dual core, physical qwerty, windows phone 7 with a 4+ screen hits T-Mobile. Well a better one than the dell venue pro.

I got the G2 because I went from a Sony Ericsson as my 1st phone, Moto Razr as my 2nd, Sidekick 3 as my 3rd, Blackberry Pearl 8120 as my 4th, and G1 as my 5th.
G1 was by far my favorite phone, with the Pearl being in 2nd. I fell in love with Android, then I learned about rooting, and that was a wrap. Went from a Haykuro 1.5, to a JesusFreke 1.5, then I learned about Cyanogen. Man, oh man, were my eyes opened by the XDA community.
From the G1, the 2nd Android phone for TMO came in the form of the myTouch 3G, and I had to have it, because I had transformed into an Android fanboy. From there, I went to an HD2, for the sole fact that I hoped that Android would be ported over to it, which thankfully, is now a reality!
I switched back and forth between the HD2 and the MT3G for a while, then I stuck with the MT3G, because I wanted the genuine Android experience. I wish I bought the N1 when it first came out, but the money wasn't there, so I had to settle.
When the G2 came knocking at TMO's doorstep and I knew about phone specs now and actually saw what the G2 had, I was very impressed, and having owned its big brother, the G1, it was fate that I had to buy it.
Yes, the G2 may have some flaws like the loose hinge and less than great camera in artificial/low light conditions, but I still love this phone and would not want to trade it for an HD7, MT4G, a Galaxy S phone, or anything else offered by TMO right now.
I love this phone and I would not change my decision of purchasing it if I had the opportunity to do it all over again.
Oh, and the fact that it is the first HSPA+ phone for T-Mobile, which there is 4G in my area also is a great perk!
simple, Cyanogen has it!

That was a selling point for sure!! I started with a Samsung Moment and then A Vibrant. I changed roms like twice a day trying to find "The one". It was kinda like internet dating, lol. I had to replace one of my Vibrants and while I was waiting for the replacement they had the G2 for $0 on black Monday. The rest is history, rooted and CM6. Physically its a beautiful phone imo, though it is protected and covered with an Otterbox. Only gripe is the hinge deal, but I swype 99.9% of the time. Its just a solid phone with awesome support, yeah Cyanogen has one. I'm waiting on something Tegra 2 based to hit TMO before I get another.
I had an original MyTouch 3G, it was slow as molasses on froyo, didn't have a keyboard, and didn't have a 3.5mm jack
the G2 is the only phone released in the last 6 months that fixes these problems. Adding in the 1.7GHz(!) overclock and solid cyanogenmod support made it even better
cyanogenmod .
ahah. I bought it before I knew cyanogenmod had it.
I had the G1, and loved it. Too bad i had to return it cuz ma dad was on my ass for always being on it. what do you except? its android!
So I heard the G2 was coming out and I almost shyt my pants.
its a sexy phone. i dont mind the hinges... one thing that sucks is no front facing camera... but o well.. maybe the G3 will own?
Got a G1 shortly after launch. Tmo upgrade came along not too long ago and so did the follow up phone... the G2. Physical keyboard is a must have for me.
I can't stand a touch screen keyboard.
The new network is also a nice perk.
Let's see.....After putting almost 50 windows roms on my HD2 and of course some Android builds. I realized the phone was getting boring by the day. I missed having a physical keyboard...better apps of course, faster speeds,and better battery life.

I wanted a good phone (better than my old omnia) with a working keyboard for which i would not pay much.
I could get a motorola flipout (found it was a poor phone), an xperia x10 mini pro (it would have been good, provided the battery was not that fast empty and unremovable), or some blackberrys with small screens. I would have had to pay more than 400$ for every interesting phone with a nice screen and a keyboard.
Then, virgin mobile made a flash offer on the desire Z. I had to pay around 80$, which was nice, and a sub 40$/month service including unlimited-yet-not-that-much-unlimited internet, unlimited texts and 2hrs/month .
So i got it. Quite impressed by it actually, worth more than what i actually thought, especially now that i know debian can be installed on it
i am new to android, i had an omnia before. The improvement in feeling is huge, but i feel quite concerned about new phones. With windows phone 6.1 i could do what i wanted on it, no need to hack around to install apps that require some special hardware access or root access and so on. I did not have to install a file browser either...
I just hope phone OS designers would stop trying to limit phone usage. Anyway they currently have not succeeded, so thats fine
Simple its indestructible..

I used to be a hard core crackberry user. My first android was the MT3G- loved it, but just couldn't get used to the touchscreen keyboard while also using a BB. (didn't care much for the iphone- my 5 year old uses it now)
When the HD2 came out, I'm glad I got it asap! The hardware was what made me want it badly.. The screen size was perfect for the onscreen kb, and it was even better when we could run android.. but I got sick of being annoyed on a daily basis. And I suffered from keyboard envy.
I was going to hold out on upgrading until Spring, as I usually did, and had been following the G2 forums since the release. Early December TMo offered me BOGO if we switched back to a contract... I couldn't refuse, and a sexy G2 arrived days later.
I love it. I was concerned with giving up screen real estate, but that quickly passed. My only issue is signal strength- I only get G where I live but forced into an unlimited 4G plan though I'm always on wifi, and the "partner service" doesn't seem to work. No faults of the G2- TMo needs to get their services straight.

cuz it was called G2, and everyone knew it was gonna be good.
I have had the G2 for two weeks now (first Android phone) and while I dig the phone, I never use the hardware keyboard like I thought I would (Swype is excellent). My camera hardware button doesn't work and Tmo said that I need to send it in for a new one, and the guy said that he would give me the MyTouch 4G if I wanted it. It's tempting since I don't use the keyboard. Any ideas? I know that the G2 is more stock version of Android compared to Sense on the Mytouch, but I like the idea of the slimmer phone. It looks like both have ROMs being developed.
All I can tell you is that I went through five MyTouch4Gs to realize that there are numerous issues with them. I encountered creaking/squeaking buttons and a washed-out display, others have experienced cracked bezels, dust under the display, FFC not centered and more. I really, really wanted to enjoy that phone, but after going through five of them I gave up on it, and went with the G2. Best decision I've made on a phone. Never did I think I would need or use the physical keyboard, but now that I've had it for a few weeks I now use it all the time. It's a wonderful keyboard, and I have no regrets going from the MT4G to the G2.
My advice to you would be to do some homework in the MT4G sections of XDA, to see what others have to say about it. Lots of problems for many, not all, and the one other thing that sucked about that phone is the lack of ROM development. It finally started picking up steam when I got my G2, but it's still nothing compared to the ROM development being done on a daily basis for the G2.
Excellent, thanks for the help. One thing I keep thinking about is how long folks hung onto their G1, and I dig the build quality of the phone too.
Hey members,
Newb here to the forums and wanting to get regular with posting and such. I was on sprint users and have moved over to tmobile on a family plan and signed up during the FREE PROMOTION. I got 3 lines for Wife, MIL, and Me. We went with 2 my touch 4g for the ladies and I picked up the G2.
I was really sad to see that rooting would be very tricky using ADB compared to EVO like my brothers. I found a quick and easy method using terminal and preset images. I loaded up nightly build for cyanogen vision build 37. Overclock to 1.3ghz and using 1500mhz EVO battery modded. I plan to pick up a mugen battery but wanted to use what i had lying around the house for Sh*ts and giggles.
I have 12 more days left to swap out for any other model in store and only thing that looked decent was mytouch4g. With the latest roms and slight overclock i am happy with performance and build quality (wish hinges were slight bit stronger and held in place). Should I bother looking at any other models in the next 12 days. Seems like all the next gen phones will be out in next 2-4 months and the deal i got was really nice. I paid $100 up front for each phones and with that we got free accessories, 15% off monthly bill and free activation. The kicker is we get $200 back in mail in rebate per phone so that should help with modding costs
Any recommendations at all on MIUI rom versus a decent Cyanogen rom that i should try next or any other rom for that matter. I was very glad that with those 4 links i was able to be up and running in matter of couple hours and was able to spend the rest of my time with baby boi versus ADB
thanks

I have both the G2 and the MT4G. Both are amazing phones with excellent hardware (minus them stupid hinges). Right now the mytouch is my weapon of choice, but it took a long time for that to happen. I still use my G2 here and there. Both are rooted with Cyanogen nightlys. My best advice to you would be play with your wifes phone here and there. do some comparisons of what you like to do with the phones. One major factor is ffc vs real keyboard. Personally I would pick the keyboard cause I don't know many people who really are gonna get that much use outta the ffc. I mean its cool but how often is it really goin to get used. The reason I am using the mytouch though is because of it's 768(or something like that) RAM. G2 comes with only 512(I believe). This offers more more functionality for what I like to do with my phones and its future. It is a very tough decision, and good luck with whichever you choose.
On a side note, I am somewhat disappointed in the G2 only because the G1 was so iconic and the G2 just seems like a semi-improved nexus1. Plus the G1 was a class of it's own whereas the G2 has a twin called the desire z. A phone with that type of history/background should be another single Icon. This is just my opinion though. The phone is great for what it is.

I would like to correct your g1 statement the g1 is actually a triplet having the dev 1(android site) and the htc dream(Europe)http://mobilenewz.net/2009/02/google-blocking-paid-market-apps-from-dev-phone-1-users/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTC_Dream
but then again the G2 and Dezire z are like good twin and bad twin (hence Stock and Sense)
I love my g2 except for my first one had a busted hinge and the replacement they sent the phone wouldn't stay shut. It had the loosest hinge.
My case I got the g2 for a business device because I email a lot and wanted a physical kb (and not the limitations of a blackberry) but I now worry about my 3rd replacement being a possible dud too. I guess ill wait and see.

@TakoLuffer Thanks for the correction. Although I still feel that the G2 is a little disappointing. But that is just my 2 cents. It is a great phone, don't get me wrong. To me it just seems it comes up short to what it could/should have been.
Hello fellow Vision Users,
Just thoughts I'd jump on here to open up a discussion. I first acquired a T-Mobile G2 when I dropped my MyTouch Slide and had to get an insurance replacement because i had broken the Camera lens. The phone still functioned fine and i was willing to live with it til someone informed me that Insurion didn't have my color in stock so my options were to get a Black MyTouch Slide (as opposed to Red) or the G2. Naturally i decided to get the G2 (because really, who wouldn't?). It's been my favorite phone since the Sidekick LX.
Anyway, a couple months ago I acquired a Sensation 4g from my Brother when he upgraded to a Galaxy S II. I Instantly rooted and put the best rated ICS Rom on it. Been Running OpenSensation ever since. Hands down best Aosp on that phone.
Since then I continue to Keep my G2 up to date. Currently running ILWT. While I haven't used it extensively since getting the Sensation I sincerely find myself missing my G2. While ICS runs pretty flawslessly on the sensation, I'm just really not "in love" with the phone. I haven't ran any ICS Roms for very long on the G2.
Sorry for the Long read but, what I'm basically getting at is that I'm pretty bummed at the fact HTC has decided that they "currently" have no plans for Qwerty phones. People make fun of Apple for releasing the same phone over and over, but really, what's wrong with that? Seriously, if HTC decided to make The G2 again with a snapdragon S4, maybe a slightly larger screen and some minor cosmetic changes (maybe no "Z-hinge") wouldn't you buy it again? I know I would!!!
TL;DR - I LOVE THIS PHONE and i want an updated version of THIS phone sometime in the future, I couldn't care less of "Thinness."
Fyi, I'm intoxicated,
Sorry for the ramblings / grammatical errors.

Yea for the drunk/stoned speech! Here, Here and all that stuff! Have done the same thing before so no sweat! The secret is... not to admit it next time. People will just think you're a fun guy
ICS on the G2 is getting better and better. Most of the bugs have been killed by now.
I can understand your feelings of not getting a G3. It just really sucks.
I think I will just keep using my G2 for at least a year. Overclocked with ICS its still a great phone. Typing this with my hw keyboard still is way better then the virtual one..
I think that if HTC is not going to make a decent hw keyboard phone, someone else will. There are still lots of people that want a hw keyboard. If there is a market there will be a product
Ps. The G2 is not that old and HTC only gave updates for a very short time. I would think twice before getting a new HTC. This phone is more then capable to run ICS...

I think I will just keep using my G2 for at least a year. Overclocked with ICS its still a great phone. Typing this with my hw keyboard still is way better then the virtual one..
I think that if HTC is not going to make a decent hw keyboard phone, someone else will. There are still lots of people that want a hw keyboard. If there is a market there will be a product
Ps. The G2 is not that old and HTC only gave updates for a very short time. I would think twice before getting a new HTC. This phone is more then capable to run ICS...

Like I've said, I'm currently using a Sensation, which I have on a permanent "borrow" lol. I agree, the G2 is plenty powerful for "old" hardware. And i love The hw keyboard. The only phone I'm currently considering spending my personal money on is maybe the Galaxy S3. But I'd prefer a sleek device with powerful specs and a hw keyboard.

When it comes to every even thinking about giving up the g2..all I hear from other friends who were previous g2 owners is how much they miss it?!! lol
And how there new GS2 is compatible with this app...and they miss there qwerty board! And my main focus is I don't think there is another HTC phone that will come out with a better appearance then the g2! All the material that is used seems cheap! ....in my opinion.
I am thinking of getting a new phone soon too, however, I still will be keeping my DZ with me. The main reason why I am considering getting a new phone is that I am starting to feel it being just a bit outdated. New apps and games tend to lag pretty often even with all the tweaks Ive made.
Anyway, I still love my phone. Though I dont use the HW keyboard much lately, it comes in handy when I have to type in long messages like this post.
I really hope we will see another HTC device with a keyboard soon.

You can always use a seperate (bluetooth) keyboard. I had one for my palm many years ago. Worked fine and was a bit bigger then the one from the dz (but could still fit in my pocket).

I'm noticing this as well. All the newer games, even little word games, lag my phone. If you open more than two of them, our beloved g2 just can't handle it anymore. I was using a mt4gs for a little and man, if this phone had that processor it would be so much better. Anyhow, august can't get here fast enough for me, upgrade city.

Been exclusively using my G2 for about a week now, put the Aokp port on it, and I have to say it runs fairly well, sure certain things lag but that's expected. For a single core it still handles everything just as well as any current mid range to low range phone.
Personally I Never play games on the G2 so that doesn't really matter to me. For web browsing, checking facebook, twitter, texting, web browsing and of course making calls it's still perfectly capable.
