the G1 was my first android phone... hell it was my first smartphone altogether! and the name... it's like HTC had my face plastered across the wall when they were making this! my nexus has everything i ever wanted except for a keyboard. my dreams have come true :D... day one for me]]>Jul 25th 2010 5:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/htc-vision-headed-to-t-mobile-in-new-spy-shot-dubbed-g1-blaze/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/htc-vision-headed-to-t-mobile-in-new-spy-shot-dubbed-g1-blaze/

why was the g1 rated 8/10 by engadget if we can all agree it had the worst design of all time, the right side of the keyboard with the chinw as extremely awkward, the OS was so ugly it was unusable, hardware was slow, and everything felt cheap]]>Jul 25th 2010 6:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/htc-vision-headed-to-t-mobile-in-new-spy-shot-dubbed-g1-blaze/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/htc-vision-headed-to-t-mobile-in-new-spy-shot-dubbed-g1-blaze/
I agree. At least T-mobile now has a powerful Android from HTC!]]>Jul 25th 2010 6:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/htc-vision-headed-to-t-mobile-in-new-spy-shot-dubbed-g1-blaze/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/htc-vision-headed-to-t-mobile-in-new-spy-shot-dubbed-g1-blaze/
i wholeheartedly disagree to every one of those claims... i loved the thing. but to each his own i guess. im sure there's a design better fit for you out there somewhere]]>Jul 25th 2010 7:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/htc-vision-headed-to-t-mobile-in-new-spy-shot-dubbed-g1-blaze/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/htc-vision-headed-to-t-mobile-in-new-spy-shot-dubbed-g1-blaze/
I wanta 4 or 4" plus sized screen. I want two cameras and a flash. I want hspa+ (on tmobile). I would prefer no alterations to the stock android UI.

Don't worry, just be like everyone else and downrank MicrosoftOwns whenever you see his posts.

He basically just plagues the site with him saying the same remarks about how all Android phones are cheap and plastic regardless of how they are so good they are or not.

He will only back the Windows Phone 7 phones and those aren't even out yet. So pretty much, hes an idiot. ]]>Jul 26th 2010 1:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/htc-vision-headed-to-t-mobile-in-new-spy-shot-dubbed-g1-blaze/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/htc-vision-headed-to-t-mobile-in-new-spy-shot-dubbed-g1-blaze/

Number rows are useful, but I have found on my G1 that I hardly use them.

I wont say I dont, cuz i sure as hell do. But I would mind double tapping a ALT key to lock the number pad toggle. ]]>Jul 25th 2010 4:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/htc-vision-headed-to-t-mobile-in-new-spy-shot-dubbed-g1-blaze/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/htc-vision-headed-to-t-mobile-in-new-spy-shot-dubbed-g1-blaze/
my username for a ton of sites has numbers at the end... alot of my passwords have numbers too... so it gets pretty annoying for me sometimes. course it's a small price to pay for finally getting to have a hardware keyboard]]>Jul 25th 2010 6:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/htc-vision-headed-to-t-mobile-in-new-spy-shot-dubbed-g1-blaze/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/htc-vision-headed-to-t-mobile-in-new-spy-shot-dubbed-g1-blaze/
Yeah, but I just don't think that pressing ALT would be that much of an issue, I do it all the time to punctuate my text anyways.]]>Jul 25th 2010 6:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/htc-vision-headed-to-t-mobile-in-new-spy-shot-dubbed-g1-blaze/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/htc-vision-headed-to-t-mobile-in-new-spy-shot-dubbed-g1-blaze/I actually would like a keyboard that is like the touchpro's layout, specifically AT&T's Fuze layout. one of the best layouts i've had so far]]>Jul 25th 2010 6:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/htc-vision-headed-to-t-mobile-in-new-spy-shot-dubbed-g1-blaze/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/htc-vision-headed-to-t-mobile-in-new-spy-shot-dubbed-g1-blaze/

Ehh, all the Samsung phones look a bit to last gen style for my taste. HTC (imho) is much better at designing phones. I think from this shot it looks amazing.

But I don't think the practical use for beyond 1GHz will be relevant for at least a year from now anyways, thus I am done waiting to upgrade :D ]]>Jul 25th 2010 4:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/htc-vision-headed-to-t-mobile-in-new-spy-shot-dubbed-g1-blaze/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/25/htc-vision-headed-to-t-mobile-in-new-spy-shot-dubbed-g1-blaze/

Here's how IMHO, the Epic is better. Feel free to debate my points, though...

1) 4" Super AMOLED Display (4" strikes the sweet spot, and Super AMOLED, is well... not over hyped at all.)
2) Front camera, as you said.
3) 5-row keyboard. This is a huge one. In addition to that, the keyboard just looks amazing.
4) Hummingbird processor
5) The phone looks better IMO. The Vision is a mess, it seems like a blend of Desire, Nexus, and Touch Pro2, and not in a good way.
6) 4G... notice the ordering.

But for all your other points, they are solid. I do think that the 4inch screen is a plus, etc, etc.
