which is the best alternative hacked phone to G1?

[trialbin]

Hi everybody,

I have been trying to catch up on the recent development in android porting.
Now, I am planning to get a new phone. Since my carrier does not sell the g1, I am wondering which would be the best working alterntive? Meaning which port would allow to use most/all feature of android?
I do need gps working now or in the near future to make this a viable alternative to me.

I have been looking at the ports of which I already know of, being the port to the vogue and to the diamond.
To my understanding (please correct me) the vogue lacks the gps hardware.
So the only device left is the diamond. Or are there any other phones which I have overseen, that sport gps, and a progressing/working port of android?

To sum it all up:
Which device gets the most attention by the dev community regarding the port of android to it?
Which one is at the moment the best working port (which device)?
Which phone poses to be the most promising device for a fully fledge port in the future?

I would be quite thankful, if anybody in the know, or even someone the porting community could give me some insight or even a proper roundup on my options here.

regards and thx for your help and insights in advance,

trial

Vogue has the GPS hardware, but AFAIK, GPS is far off for any Android port.

General Mobile is coming out with an alternative Android phone, it also has dual sim slots.

I'm waiting for this to come out and to see some reviews.

Check the Google Android developer page (http://code.google.com/android/dev-devices.html).
You can buy a developer version phone for $399
All you have to do is register as a developer which cost $25(I think).

Edit: Not really for porting to but you did mention you couldn't get a G1, so I'm assuming you're open to a native Android phone.

ok guys.
first of all, thx for your replies.
i am not really planning to get the real g1 (even the dev version), since i am not really satisfied with its hw.
i figured it'd be easier to get a used htc device off ebay, which would be capable of running android.
So, I'd be willing to wait - which device looks the most promising in running a full android port?
Is there any effort whatsoever on the gps for the vogue or any other device? Is it likely that it will work at all?

thx for your info again :)
