There’s a place for phones with keyboard, and a place for ones without. This is supposed to be the successor to the G1, which had a keyboard. Instead, it has a keyboard missing keys. No brackets, for example, and the shared number/letter row. There’s plenty of phones with no keyboard for the crowd that wants those. This phone misses the boat for those who do.

The keyboard adds thickness. I rather have a thinner phone that’s longer and wider. Again, I’ve used the Evo 4G and Droid X extensively. It’s tough to go back. Also, I’m a Swype convert. I can type faster on Swype than I ever could on my old BlackBerry.

The thing about the 3.7 inch screen though is that it won’t be dominated by a virtual keyboard 90% of the time. It also make the device much more portable. I see no problem with it.

It’s definitely a huge bump over the G1′s 3.2 inch HVGA screen, though.

The CPU/GPU will be great, especially since they don’t have to deal with a custom UI. I could do without the G2′s keyboard, but I’m turned off by the 3.7-inch screen. After using the Evo 4G and Droid X, it’s hard going back to anything that small.

I like the fact that you guys went and did some REAL journalism unlike some other sites (BoyGenius & Dailytech come to mind) regarding the G2′s supposedly underpowered processor.

Anyone that took even 30 seconds to do some research would know that in real world tests, the MSM7230 smokes the current offerings from Samsung, Motorola, as well as existing Snapdragon chipsets.

And personally, I see nothing wrong with underclocking a phone’s processor give that:

1) It saves on battery.

2) Performance doesn’t suffer and still exceeds the competition.

I don’t plan to buy it, but I still think the G2 is going to be a great device.
