Even if this is the G2, I'll stick with my G1. I like the real keyboard. This will probably have more internal memory which is nice, but hopefully this limitation with the G1 will be addressed in an update soon, letting us use the SD card for app stoarage. Even if they don't, mine's rooted so I can modify it myself if I have to. Other than that, I agree. I want an LED flash to make the camera at least somewhat useful. Overall, I love the hardware. My wish list is all software fixable stuff. What’s the black dot below the USB connector, and sortof on the back? 3.5mm jack, maybe?

You will see some Cupcake features that make it to the main branch, but cupcake itself will never be "installed" on our phone (unless you are a dev of course.) Will Park says:

No, you will never see “Cupcake going live” as you put it.

Why didn't you wait until there are 10 phones to choose from and then take the plunge? Getting the G1 and then complaining about the release of a so called G2 makes no sense. There are going to be TONS of android based phones soon. Get used to it. @Robert – Why are you even buying into this phone yet then?

Cupcake is not an un-released patch. Cupcake is a completely separate developers branch. I assume that we will get MANY cupcake updates in the future as the developers "merge to main" when certain features that the devs are working on are ready for primetime. Do your research.

Let's hope they also don't make the f***-up mistake of using extremely dismal internal memory of below 512MB. Memory is cheap enough now where there's no excuse to make a 1996 chipset for a 2009 OS (android). The phone needs space for programs and the sd card doesn't cut it.

I just bought the G1 and love it. would hate to have to go and buy the G2 3 weeks later. I’m pissed. I just bought the G1 and love it. would hate to have to go and buy the G2 3 weeks later.
