I have the G1 which I believe was the original android phone (came out in nov. 2008). My contract expires in two months and I will be purchasing the G2 unless I discover a better alternative. Since I found the amount of space provided for apps and games on the G1 to be very small, I rooted my phone so that I could store them on my SD card. All of the options that rooting opens up is what I love about Android.
