i'm going to the USA at the end of the month and my current HTC Desire (Euro model) won't work on US 3G bands
so i started to research what phone i could get to tide me over in the USA (figured if i get a new phone, use it for 2 weeks, then sell it for $100 less than i bought it, it would be like hiring a phone for $100)
i've got my eye on a T-Mobile G2, and i just found out that the 2100MHz 3G band actually WILL work in Australia (where i live), so now there is the possibility of keeping the G2 (if i like it) and selling my Desire
so, some questions:
1. has anyone else gone from Desire to G2? your thoughts?
2. do those $10 ebay network unlock codes actually work?
3. is rooting the G2 easy? i haven't bothered rooting my Desire as it is unlocked and i never had a need to
4. what will i be missing from not have Sense? is it just the pinch-to-zoom?
5. i've never used stock android, are there are discernible differences?
feel free to throw any other knowledge my way
