What android phone should I get? (personal experience)

[hooPhilip]

Here I provide a personal experience comparing android phones.

I just bought 2 new android phones through tmobile. I am returning the Samsung Vibrant, even though it was pretty and a very good phone. The G2 was just better for what I want.

T-mobile Samsung Vibrant vs. T-mobile HTC G2
-->HTC's G2 wins

Here are the pros and cons of my decision to go with the G2

PROS
-longer functioning battery life (oddly, despite lower mAh: 1300 vs 1500)
-has an (optional) flip-out keyboard
-better function & tools (android OS 2.2 vs. 2.1 installed)
-faster downloads (HSPA+ in san diego)
-comes with 8GB vs 4GB SanDisk
-sturdier (tank like)
-flash on the camera

CONS
-smaller screen
-smaller icons (slightly harder to select)
-micro USB port exposed (might get sand)
-less pretty (silver frame less pretty than simple black)
-heavier overall (tank like)

NEUTRAL
-same price
-both sufficient photo and video
-HTC's mini mouse pad (irrelevant)
-touch screen (both phones good)
-seven home pages (both phones)
-seperate audio jack (both phones)
-sound(adequate)

I love the G2. If I was on Tmobile, that's what I'd have right now.

Between those two devices right now... yes, the G2 would win. However, IMHO in two weeks the myTouch 4G will be the winner in a three way comparison... but only by a slight margin over the G2.

I'm waiting for the myTouch 4G... I had my hands on the G2 for a week and then brought it back because of the keyboard spring issue.
