I would get the G2 since it's Googles official development device. It may be a bit clunky but its a solid hardware configuration and Google uses this device internally for development. Also, the hard keyboard is useful when testing for those target devices (folded up and hidden, virtual keyboard should activate).
I still use the G1 and it has yet to fail me.

- bryanlarsen 16y agoI thought Google's official phones were the G1, Nexus 1 and Nexus S. The G2 is an HTC-only effort, as far as I'm aware.
- runjake 16y agoThe G2 is notable, because it's an HTC phone with an unmolested version of Android. It's important to note the G1 was not an official Google developer phone, either. You're thinking of the similarly-named, carrier and developer unlocked ADP-1. Google developer phones: ADP-1: aka G1 ADP-2: aka HTC Magic, myTouch Nexus One Nexus S
- theBobMcCormick 16y agoThe G2 is not an official development device (although it is a really good phone). The G1 was the original Google Dev phone, but is now discontinued as a dev phone. The two models currently offered for sell by Google as developer phones are: * The Android Dev Phone 2 - which is the HTC Magic. Pretty out of date if you ask me. * The Nexus One. The Wikipedia page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_Dev_Phone http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_Dev_Phone) has alittle bit of information about all three dev phone. I'd send you a screenshot of the online storefront Google has for purchasing the dev phone 2 or the N1, but I've got no idea what's a good way to post images on HN. :-(
