What is the difference between the G1 and the Magic?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Both phone currently use Android 1.6 (Donut) for their current Android release. However, if you root the phones you can install custom built "ROMS" which may be ran on the phones.
As far as technical data, the phones are closely matched. The G1 has a full QWERTY keyboard, where as the MyTouch (Magic) uses the touchscreen for it's keyboard.
-Both phones contain a 528Mhtz ARM11 CPU.
-Both phones support up to a 16GB microSD card for storage. The Magic comes with a 4gb card, the G1 with a 1gb card.
-The HTC Magic contains 192/288mb RAM 512mb ROM for internal storage, which is slightly higher then the G1's 192mb DDR SDRAM.
-Both phones contain a 320x480 HVGA LED Screen
-For all intents and purposes, the phones cover predominately the same signal range with the Magic having a tri-band EDGE/GPRS and the G1 only having a dual-band EDGE/GPRS.
-The Magic weighs 42 grams less then the G1.
-Both phones have Multi-touch capacitive touchscreen display, volume controls, 3-axis accelerometer
-Both phones contain a 3.2 auto focus camera capable of video
If you don't mind having just a touch screen (much like the iPhone) for typing, then the Mytouch (HTC Magic) is for you. If you need a full keyboard, I would suggest forgoing the G1 and shooting for the T-Mobile myTouch 3g Slide, which was the successor to the myTouch. It has a full keyboard and much better technical stats.

With regards to design, the Magic is tops compared to G1 in the sense that it is much more attractive and thinner, thus making it easy to fit in ones pocket. Accordingly, "the Magic has an accelerometer for autorotation and the screen has the option of handwriting recognition or the onscreen QWERTY keyboard."
