hi all.
should i buy MY4G with my 200$
or is there a better phone for 200$?
I want a FAST Android phone.
i have the G1 ATM.
and i saw that the MY4G is really good.
what do you think i need to buy with your experience with this phone?
I had the g1.
Traded for a mytouch.
Was faster in my experience. And loved the ffc

Depending on whatS more important to you. Do you Carr if you have a physical keyboard? Larger screen? Cause to be honest most phones are around the 1.MHz to 1.2mhz and m then you have the dual core. I love the mt. It can literally do anything. Just the other day I blew up a car with it. Pretty badass.

i would recommend either the mt4g slider or the sensation but are new phone and personally i think they are the 2 best phones t-mobile has. they are both $200 i think.if you want netflix on it then deffinately go with the my touch 4g slide it's on sale right now on the site and comes out in like a week in the stores, so hold on and wait for that one if you want a my touch phone
The only problem for you would be getting MT4G at a price of $200 (assuming that your declared location is correct, which means you won't be buying a contract deal with T-Mobile, but paying full cash for the phone - in which case it'll cost you $450 with T-Mobile or a bit cheaper - just a bit below $400 - on eBay).
Personally, I think it's the most cost-effective phone on the market right now.
just wait for a month or so and get some dual core action when they are more mainstream

This phone can be troublesome with the chance of a bad screen/chip, I would just go for a dual core phone, they're faster and have better battery due to the way 2X cores work compared to 1 core devices. They will have better support for longer. But I'm waiting to get a new device when the Nexus 3 is around or Ice cream sandwich is out. When ICS is out they will have 720P res and no more HW buttons according to the news. And Quad-cores are in the works so it's really up to you, I would save my money up and stay with the G1, you had it this long so why not wait a little bit more? This phone is nice, but it's defiantly showing it's age now, official support will be dropped for this in a few months i'm guessing for the MT4GS and the successor for the MT4G, maybe MTHD or something.

I came from a g1 and it lasted me 15 months b4 i decided i needed a faster phone and it really was painfully slow compared to phones out these days, i lucked out and got a sweet deal on my current mt4g phone(even tho it has bad emmc chip, i still got a good display and no problems so far...) on craigslist. Which saved me my upgrade that's in august, but now that i have the mt4g it's really not as hard to decide to wait on the Hercules, Nexus 3 or whatever else is around the corner in 2012
Wait it out a bit longer if you've decided on the mt4g the slide is dual core beast, even the sensation will be fully unlocked and available to public in days.
Ace has a good point tho

Because you don't know what issues the Slide has then I wouldn't tell someone that this phone would be less troublesome. The Mytouch 4G could turn out to be a G2X, awesome phone if you have one that works. I'm sure everyone said the screen was great on the Mytouch, until they started comparing, and how long did it take to start noticing the very minor problem of the chips?
Get a MT4G from Craigslist... I always see them going for about 150-200$. Then keep that until the merger. That way you can get a phone with the appropriate bands. No use in using your upgrade then having the phone to be unusable within 8 months.

You don't say? That's like saying you traded up to a Corvette from a Yugo, and what do you know, the Vette was faster!
Hercules is gonna be ATT ready if the merger does go thru, so unless HTC makes the next nexus phone and has similar if not better specs then Samsung Hercules I'm upgrading to some super amoled + greatness.

Only thing the infuse has in common with the hercules is the 4.5 inch screen and internal storage, the hercules has:
dual core 1.2 ghz Qualcom processor
1gb ram

The nexus prime is suppose to have a 720P HD screen, ICS, no buttons on front, super amoleds, OMAP4460 @1.5GHz. It looks really nice too with no buttons.

I most certainly will my G1 is on it's death bed. I love stock android and this will have and get the updates first! I can deal with the lack of features and dual core can wait because in the next 2 years something better will come out. You can never beat technology! So who else will be getting this phone?
Me eventually.
Sent from my Eris using XDA App
I most likely will want another phone. Currently have the myTouch 3G slide.
I too am going to wait. I think Google/Sammy's partnership came late, and they attempted to give use a dual-core, but couldn't, and so rushed the single-core to their Nexus brand. Lack of HSPA+, especially, just seems backwards when all phones and carriers are moving toward "4G." It just doesn't make sense. I will hold off.
i'm still not 100%. i'd say i'm about 65% sure i want it right now. need to get to a best buy with a real working display model and use it for a while.
I should have mine on Wednesday of next week
Is it really that much better than the G2 or Mytouch4g to get? G2 has a keyboard SLCD, HSPA+, new gen snapdragon, and almost stock android. Mt4g also has HSPA+ and a new gen 1Ghz snapdragon.
I think the only reason to get the Nexus S would be for the Google updates. The specs really aren't mind blowing, they're high end, but nothing new.
So when it comes time to retire my trusty G1 I think I'll go with its successor the G2.
Although it is quite tempting to go with the Nexus S updates and SAMOLED are quite tantalizing.

Yes the mt4g is quite ugly. But I think the G2 has notable advantages over the Nexus S.
1. Keyboard
2. HSPA+
In all other things the Nexus S reigns supreme. That's what it's so tempting to get it. But then again coming from the G1 I do like my keyboard

I'm waiting for the end of the first quarter to get one of the big daddy's with there dual core processors. The nexus s seems very rushed in build and spec. I've got the feeling Google are trying to cash in on christmas. Even tho I really like the updates coming straight to the phone it's no way worth the money. Just can't wait until the end of the first quarter.
can't wait for my nexus s
no way would i get the g2 over it

Nothing is going to hold me back from buying this. And I m getting everything I need from the current generation phones. Will upgrade later if they (next generation phones) really have something good on the table to offer.
16GB enough for me. 720p will come, I m pretty sure. No HSPA+ in my country
LED notifications, we are not sure of it! And many other phones dont have a track pad.
Atleast I know whatever this phone has to offer will be "usable to fullest" bcos of good battery life (consider all the pitfalls of DHD) and XDA support
Overall should be a flawless phone with whatever is has to offer! If you are fine with its offering go for it. Else wait for another 3-4 months for the next generation phones

no led is confirmed. luckily you can use the app noled to get around it.
I have a G1 that is also in its last moments so i'm thinking about getting either Nexus S or MT4g.
I'm leaning more toward Nexus S because its vanilla android and will get the updates faster but also because I think that the community will embrace it more.

Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
If you like Swype and the Sense UI, or if you are going to Root the phone, I like the MT4G.
It has the updated snapdragon chip, Qualcomm MSM8255
It has 768MB internal vice the 512MB (weakness of Nexus IMO)
It has the FFC
It is also a HSPA+ (4G)
It has a bigger screen 3.8" I think vice 3.7"
My buddy has this phone and all in all I like the feel (HTC metal), if I was not stuck on AT&T (Nexus) I would jump at this one.
I just bought The Mt4g for my girl.. and i own the nexus one...
everything Lightning N1 listed are true... i hate the ui.. but if you plan on rootting it i would say get the mt4g...
very fast
nice size screen...
4g
fcc
And it has alot more internal memory as the nexus one only has 512 mb
It defenitly a phone what will last you a while...
cyanogenmod doesnt have a stable release out yet but progress is being made day by day...
would agree mytouch 4g is nice in person. I thought about it but found a $160 vibrant on craigslist. Traded my nexus one for an iphone 4, didnt like iphone and probably going to sell it for $500 and purchase a nexus s but vibrant is pretty much same feel to me.

Yes, this is amazing. I am ASTONISHED by the sheer amount of apps my gf can install and never getting the "low on space" message. I'm so jealous. (Definitely the weakness of the Nexus.)
As has been said already:
- HSPA+ 4G
- Bigger screen
- Front facing camera
- Dedicated camera button
- Much better CPU and GPU
- No touch panel recalibration / multitouch issues
AND, here's the kicker...
Nexus One: $529 (+$25 developer fee)
Nexus S: $529
MyTouch 4G: $450!
What the?? How in the heck is that possible?
The MT4G is definitely better in every way. Get it and you won't be missing much from the Nexus One.
The only thing would be custom ROMs and not being able to have future Android versions for a long time. HTC and T-Mobile might take months and months to update, or may never update the phone. But if you're reading these very forums, you probably already know / have the capacity to root and install your own ROM.
Bottom line: the MT4G is better, has more features, yet is somehow $80 cheaper.
also if you been with t-mobile for awhile they will give it to you for 400 dollars with free shipping... thats what i paid.. im in a no contract plan

I would love to get the Mytouch 4g but it doesn't support t-zones. Therefore, I'll be sticking with my Nexus One... it stinks to be a poor prof. student!
I'm not looking right now. But if I was, then the MT4g would be my best choice! It's a favorate so far in the Tmonews vote:

I've got a few feelers out on Craigslist to get a MyTouch 4G.
I think thats my next phone.
I picked up a G2 and it was ok but who needs a keyboard with Swype ?
So I sold that and bought a Nexus S last saturday.
I dont like the no track pad track ball thing.
Its excruciating that you have no way to move the curser.
Yeah the screen is snappier and its faster than the Nexux One
but I'm returning the Nexus S to Best Buy this morning and voiding
the two year contract since I'm still in the buyers remorse period.
Back to the Nexus One.

My parents both bought MT4Gs over the holidays. Very nice hardware, I'm jealous of the bigger screen, camera button and the trackpad.
One big flaw though, the USB port is on the side, so no car mount. Rumor has it there's one that works in landscape, but it sure looks goofy.
N1 is smaller in the pocket though and getting GB quick will be nice. Wonder what the official build for the MT4G will be in 6 months?

Always go back to the nexus one! Lol. Yeah it's true that mytouch 4g is better in every way. But you have to miss that color track ball and the sexy looking that the nexus owns. Hint at the uni body vs plastic. I love the mytouch 4g specs tho.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Having owned the Nexus One twice now, I can say that the MyTouch 4g hardware feels like the hardware that should have become the Next Nexus. The software has a lot of T-MOBILE in it but none of it bothers me. In fact, I really like it. I do not miss the Nexus One at all now that I own this.
Best and fastest phone out for TMO now.
I like it much better than the Nexus S I had for a week and returned.
Its faster than the G2 and Nexus One.
Downside is the bloatware that takes some getting used to
after using stock Android on the N1 for so long.
I got the Skyfire browser off the market and that helped,
as the stock browser made me go "huh ?" .
The MT4G is a great phone for now till the dual cores start showing up.
I'm a serial phone swapper , but I'd have to say that the Vibrant (all GPS issues, the plasticy feel about it and lack of Samsung updates aside) was one of my favorite Android phones.
I'm seriously considering picking up the Vibrant 4G when it comes out. I love the screen, the call quality , and signal strength that it had. If this 2nd edition of the Vibrant lives up to those qualities of the first, I have no worries about picking one up!
Anyone else considering getting one?
If it was time for me to update on my contract I probably would.
I absolutely love this phone! Thankfully I've had no issues with GPS and honestly it doesn't feel as solid as my old G1 made by HTC. I only have a cheapy silicone case on it that I literally got for $3 from Japan thru ebay, and I've dropped it a few times from around 2-3 feet and the phone didn't miss a beat.
So even tho it feels light and cheap it def holds up, even with just a cheap case.
And yes , Samsung is horrible with the updates, but we've also found that it is also TMO's fault as well.
But IDC bout updates, we have the greatest devs giving us ROM's that make my phone feel literally 10 times faster and smoother than my g/f's stock Nexus S!
Also, I got a front facing camera from a buddy for $20. So My phone will be exactly like the 4G, aside from the fact of the 4G speeds of course.
i really was thinking about getting it and actually got as far as almost completin gmy ebay listing to sell my current vibrant before the price drops....but then i looked up some more details about the 4g and found out that it only has 1gb internal memory. Also, since the devs currently have vibrants, and the vibrant 4g isnt ThaT MUCh of an upgrade, i think they will stick with the current vibrant. So then the dev community will not be that strong for the 4g. Agreed, its an easy port between the two phones, but I personally have no idea how to do it and im pretty sure that all devs will be busy porting 2.3 etc to the current vibrant to pay much attention to the vibrant 4g....so im not jumping ship just yet
no
maybe when my 3g speeds max out everywhere i go, t-mobile lifts the 5gb throttle limit, or i actually find a use for a FFC. until then, i'm fine with the original
Not with Pyramid around the corner.
I figure by the time that the Pyramid comes out I'll be shopping around again LOL

I am actually considering it, first i will see how far i get with customer loyalty(because my gps never truly worked on any rom), we've been with tmobile since voicestream(Probably won't matter to them anyways). If customer loyalty is willing to send a vibrant 4G at a reasonable price i will get it, if not i will wait for dual core. Honestly unless another manufacturer comes out with a super amoled+ display i don't see myself leaving samsung. They suck with updates but xda pushes out way better roms than stock.
My wife works for Tmobile so I'll be getting it She gets 3 free phones a year...so yeah
I won't be spending money on it, but I will be calling the customer loyalty department and finagling a free Vibrant 4G out of them for pulling a shenanigan like this.

How can you guys manage to pay for phones like that? I mean, the earliest you could have gotten the mt4g was like what, 7 months ago? Do you pay full price for them or trade in your current phones or something?

not true, I upgraded to the samsung vibrant back in july after it came out, then the mt4g dropped and so i bought it full price, which was like $400 and then sold my vibrant for $350 on ebay, so out of pocket it costed $50 for the "upgrade", so not trillionaires, just smart shoppers lol
true, if you keep a phone in great condition you can get a good resale value. as for me, I upgraded my sidekick 08 to the mytouch 4g and it cost me around $200 and Im keeping it as mint as possible
Yeah its pretty easy to sell a phone on Craigslist or eBay for a good amount then go purchase a new one at full retail.

But I had to get a contract to get the cheaper price, so now i have to keep this and cant sell it
Like i said, I work for an indirect dealer. I have my tricks, but get 3 or so phones on New contract price over a yeat

Guys, DO NOT GET THE SENSATION, get the g2x instead the sensation has a arm a8 processor (even though it's clocked at 1.2ghz), compared to the g2x's arm a9(clocked at at 1ghz), so it's actually a better processor, regardless of all the other specs.
I have always been one of those people who buys a new phone ever few months, I just never found that phone that did what I wanted to it to do How I wanted it to do it. Well Ive had my EVO since launch and have no plans on retiring it (even though the phone itself is being retired). It just does everything I need it to, takes good pictures (some require editing but what the hell) Works beautifully as my GPS with the Seidio car dock. Plays games (although I don't play games often) Oh..And it makes calls too.
So what kind of phone features would make you ditch your evo?
A new LTE phone for sprint

I dont know..maybe a Nexus Prime.
I just came from a Samsung Epic and I gotta say I miss they keyboard, but the Evo's huge screen pretty much makes up for that along with the HTC Sense keyboard which is definitely the best soft keyboard I've used as well as Swype. Also the Super AMOLED screen was really nice too.
So for something I'd trade it would probably be the Samsung Galaxy S II whenever it comes to Sprint lol it has a 1.2 ghz processor, 4.3 inch Super AMOLED+ screen, I believe an 8mp camera if not 5 mp (the Epic took some great pictures so I'd expect these to be great as well), and also it being thinner which is always good for me.
I've got four months until I am eligible for an upgrade so it's too soon to tell. If it's available when the time comes, probably an iPhone. If not, it'll probably be whatever the flavor of the week Android phone is when my upgrade time comes.
The only phone I'm interested in is the Galaxy S II. if it has a keyboard...heads WILL roll.
I'm waiting until a phone comes out one that blows the competition away like when the EVO 4g first came out

If! the so called rumors are true, I would consider the iphone.
For now my ugly ass evo with the extended battery does everything other dual core androids do(except have a damn case! stupid battery) so I could hold on to it until Q1 2012 or when LTE rolls out.

lets see android phones that blew away the competition
HTC Dream G1 (2008)
HTC Supersonic Evo 4G (2010)
so if the trend continues 2012?
unless I get an upgrade before 2012 I'll be waiting for summer 2012 to trade my evo in
Something htc in 2012. Like the option of sense and aosp
My upgrade just opened up today. I could rush to the store and get a Evo 3D or Photon 4G...but I'm waiting for the Galaxy S II which I guess is supposed to be called the Within. Like I've been drooling over this phone since it was announced. The Evo 3D did not impress me and I felt like it wasn't much of an upgrade over the OG Evo, and while the Photon is a very nice phone Blur is a deal breaker and I've heard the Pentile display isn't the greatest. The GSII just has everything...best display on the market, super thin, fastest processor on the market. And I like how it has a lot more onboard storage than the Evo does (things that would normally be on the SDcard will load faster, and my onboard storage on my Evo gets really tight with some of these massive Sense roms).
It better be released within August. While it just went through the FCC for certification for Sprint, Europe has had it for months. I am getting tired of waiting. Reason I am not waiting till next year for an LTE phone is because I doubt Sprint will even have an LTE network up and running next year. And if they do, it won't be until around this time or later in the year, and by that time I'll have another upgrade open.
Id get a Iphone...

I know... but I had on otterbox on the way before getting the battery (Sprint gave it to me for free) so I will see if somehow I can mod the otterbox defender when it gets here, if not I'll sell it and get the seidio.
