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.
Hello,
I'm trying to decide if I should get a Nexus S while there on sale and just terminate my G2 line and sell it on Craigslist. Would this work or would T-Mobile catch on and charge MD or something also what do you thinking about the Nexus S compared to the G2 I mean j like the keyboard but I do type faster on the on screen Keyboard and I really only like the feel of it irk what do you guys think

I got tired of the bulk of the G2, and I hardly ever used the keyboard. Swype deprecated it.
I am much happier now.

when I saw leaked pics of the G2, I was like this is gonna be my new phone. Then I checked it out in person and was turned off by its bulk and clumsy hinge. It didn't feel smooth sliding out the keyboard..had to use 2 hands instead of 1. Anyways, good thing I waited for the Nexus and I love it! So my answer is YES.
Absolutely. You get true stock and a much faster and sleeker device. I thought about the G2 when moving to T-Mobile. So glad I got my Nexus S .

This here. I had random signal loss a lot.
Dude definitely get the nexus s. If you want a new experience.
I would say as long as you have an android phone, n not an iphone your golden,
Personally, I have my G2 running CyanogenMod 6.1.1 with setcpu (overclocked when battery full to 1ghz and as the battery gets lower, I have it slowly clock down), and juicesaver (this kills having data on when the screen is off but it still alows googlevoicetexts to come through etc.) Also, memory AND battery expansions make this a good solid phone.
I also have the MT4G modded n such.
BUT,***** the nexus s is very sleek, the best samsung has put out so far imo. It has a fast proccesor, nfc, amoled, and gingerbread, off the batt to startt with, if you mod it, it just gets better.
Get and use what makes you happy, but just don't bite the apple. If you have had your G2 long enougj and want a new experience and get a good sale on your G2, go for it.

T-Mobile doesn't care if you change your phone when you're in a 2year contract with a phone. You just don't get the 2-year discount.
It'll take a few days to get used to using a virtual keyboard than a physical but once you get used to it. You'll feel that physical keyboards are just a waste of space.

I started my android ownership with a G1 because it was cheap, and there was a ton I could do to a $80 phone.
Before that I had an HTC Diamond for cost and "crap to play with" factor.
The Touch Pro just turned me off for it's bulk and subjective feel.
The G1 had some of the same issues, but I knew if this experiment worked I'd go for the Nexus S.
In between getting the G1, and later buying a Nexus S, I just found too much of the lingering turnoffs about the Touch Pro/G1 when I checked out the G2 as a cheaper alternative to the 2x cost Nexus S.
A guy I work with can't stand bar phones and what I like about the nexus S in general. He's always liked his TP2, G1, blackberries, Droid pos with keyboard.
Find a "good" Nexus S and just be happy, if that's what you subjectively "like".
Just saw this...

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'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 love it. I've been using the tethering on my Epic to download apps. I played Infinity Blade on it and omg that game is amazing. Siri is very useful. It's exactly what I wanted in a speech to text system. I had the original iphone (my first smart phone besides the helio ocean) which was horrible. I dislike the lack of customization and using itunes. The screen is much better than the Epic but you can see how overly Saturated stuff is. Everything works well. I am not an apple fan boy by any means. I'm studying Java to develop for Android. It's good to see what the competition is like. The apps really attract me on the iphone. I don't really want an ipad though because it sounds like a feminine cleaning product and because I'd feel like a douche carrying one around with me everywhere.

I've heard the "Beats" audio, it's mostly enhanced bass and tweaked treble. Was not extremely impressed.
As for my new GSIII, I like it. Came from a flashed GSI. The improvement is alot more than coming from an older laptop to a state of the art one...
Yeah, I rooted it a few hours after getting it.
I came from the Aria, so the difference is pretty significant. I will say that I think the screen is ever so slightly too large. I think 4.3-4.5 inch displays are the perfect size.

Came from a gs2. Ran aokp and fluxxi kernel and it was smooth.
But the gs3 beats it by a mile.
Gps is faster. Battery life is way better. Data speed (lte) ****s on hspa and I love the screen... Plus the camera is very nice.

Happy, mostly... Wish I wouldn't have had the evo to play with first, grr... That camera knocks this one's dingle in the dirt, the display is much nicer, and the devs are killing that thing, lol, I'm sitting here with my rooted phone and thumb up my arse wishing I knew how to dev cause we have not one Damn Rom... On the other hand I do like playing with Samsung as it's a tad different than HTC. It feels maybe a little better than evo in my hands, in a strange way, the phone feels a little cheaper so I'm not as worried to use it like it's intended. This thing gets hot and has performance issues and hopefully all my "issues" are all software related... It does have removable battery which is huge for me as I like to keep a few extra batteries charged and ready to go, HATE to be tethered to a wall. The sound on this thing is really loud and clean, really appreciate that... The digitizer is a bit spastic at times but that might just need tweaked as well... It does have 2GB's of ram:-~ lol, I don't know any Sammy devs either, did they all go to evo??? Lol, Need to flash something, going through withdrawals:-o I also don't have any of the display having the black spots or weird colors so maybe I got lucky for once... Ramble, ramble...

I have an evo lte too and it's screen + camera is beautiful. I just got my s3 in today and I'm sure they will be more devs when everyone is actually able to get the s3. I mean I pre-ordered mine on the 7th and it didn't even come until today with all the shortages.
Give it time, the devs will come here =)
