The reason why the G1 is so talked about is because of its operating system called Android.
It's not really about the design of the phone.
The main difference between the G1 and G2 is probably going to be the physical design of the phone.
There will be many phones coming out that will use Android.
I would wait until there are more choices.

ye...my fiance was gonna get me a g1 because she upgrader her phone. but i told her i wanted an IOU because i just don't like gen 1 electronics. just look at the iphone...the new 3g is much better IMO.
i say just wait it out...that's what im planning to do. and if the g2 can't impress me...apple here i come...which i would really hate to do because i dont like apple products

I think there's a little misunderstanding about what Android is.
Android is an operating system for phones.
The G1 is just T-Mobile's name for a phone called the Dream and is made by HTC.
The G2 is T-Mobile's name for a phone called the Magic that's also made by HTC.
Whereas the iPhone and its OS is basically an Apple only product, the Android is pretty much open for any phone manufacturer to use.
Eventually, many different phone companies like Samsung, LG, Motorola, and Sony Ericsson will offer phones that use Android.
Android is going to be like Windows Mobile...WM is available in many different designs from many different phone manufacturers with hardware specs varying just a bit.
Its basically just picking the phone that looks and works best for your needs.
