Rogers banded HTC G1 / Dream Crippled?

[mike390]

I remember reading somewhere that rogers chose not to have android on the hrc dream / G1, Is the rogers branded phone crippled in anyway or is it the same as the non branded version? Which should i buy

Wait, you're stating that Rogers released a branded G1 device without the android platform on it? I'm assuming the "hrc dream" is a typo. Really, clarify this post a bit.
Besides, the G1 is reaching the end of its commercial life. I still have a dream and most likely will for the foreseeable future, but if you're looking to jump into it now, there are newer devices coming that would be much better.
