My honest opinion is that this new G2 is by far better looking than T-Mobile’s G1, I am considering getting this phone when it comes out (hopefully) in April. I have never really been a fan of getting a phone on contract for various reasons, mainly, all the phones that come out are basically the same crap in a different case, the only two that stand out are the Apple iPhone and Google’s Android Phones, I didn’t bother with the iPhone as I had just recently got a new phone, but depending on the monthly charges and seeing what kind of deal I can get I may just treat myself and get the Magic G2.
