[jermaine]

the main question is should i get a g1 or g2. these are the circumstances....
(i like the qwerty keyboard)
I really like the g1, but its lacking, but i could have it really soon.
or should i wait till the g2 comes out and be phoneless until reliable images are posted, but i like the keyboard and if i wait all that time and it doesnt have a keyboard then id... .

Sorry to hear that you are dealing with this delima...

The following response is just my personal opinions...

In my opinion, the G1 would be better fitted to your liking. This is not just because I currently own a G1 and absolutely love it. I am in SC and currently there is no 3G and the G1 is limited on an Edge network in my opinon.

As far as the QWERTY keyboard is concerned, I recommend you grab the G1 because it does have a keyboard. I try to use the built-in OS Keyboard in Steel(Web Browser) and it is too constricting. Remember that using an on-screen keyboard is convenient, but not very practical when your fingers keep rolling over on other characters...

I find myself spending more time "attempting" to use the OS Keyboard instead of quickly opening my G1 and typing out on the QWERTY keyboard.

As far as features are concerned they are practically one in the same. The G1 has a 3.2MP Cam(Video is a work in progress), GPS(Awesome), WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR(Quite sure of this) and enough Ram to multitask.

On an average day after the newest RC33 update I find myself Listening to Music, sending txt messages(about 350 a day), browsing the web and playing a few games. With the previous being said I am getting around 8hrs+ of battery life before getting low enough to charge immediately. I am not using wifi too much and mostly relying on Edge...

I also have purchased a spare stock battery just incase I need it.

Any more questions, just ask. I'm on the forums on my phone every day....

I have a kind of small related question. Im looking for a plan that isnt expensive that i can use the phone ( i usually dont use the phone that much at home, but i never know how people will act once i get a phone (constant calling)). Im also looking for the plan with ulimited text and all the internet/online features.

I'm guessing you are in the US?

The Facts are below:

These plans are...

1. Unlimited Data & Messaging for $35/mo.

or

2. Unlimited Data & 400 Messages for $25/mo.

or

3. Unlimited Data for $24.99/mo.

For instance I and my wife both have G1s. I pay $119/month for 2,000 minutes with My Faves(5 ppl unlimited calling to).

I pay $24.99/month x 2 for both of us to have unlimited data + $9.99/month for Unlimited Family Messaging.

If anybody else knows the updated data prices or package rates, please correct me if I'm wrong.

Basically, just go to t-mobile's website and check out their packages...

If you really want a Qwerty go with the G1. The G2 may be different but if it is made by HTC, their fully touchscreen phones haven't been all that great from my experience. If/when G1 users get the update we will have the option of using touch screen or keyboard. I would much rather have the option but that's just my opinion .
