Have you actually gone into a T-Mobile store to play with a G1? I really wanted to like it, but honestly it feels cheaper than the Nokia flip phone you can pick up for free. The plastic looks budget. The screen flip-out mechanism, while kind of cool, is so loose you could easily squeeze a credit card or two between the screen and the keyboard while it is closed.
The whole thing just looks slapped together. The Magic, on the other hand, looks solid. That is enough for me.

Without bringing down scorn on myself - why would I go for the Magic over the G1.
I like the idea of keyboard and was considering Palm Pre.
What are the improvements in the Magic over the G1 really?
