I just got my myTouch slide about 2 weeks ago. I like the phone a lot, but I just had a guy offer me an unlocked iPhone 3G for it. I was just wondering if that's a good deal or not. I am not too familiar with iPhones, but I know they do a lot. Not knowing a whole lot about them leads me to want to ask other user opinions.
So what do you all think?

if you havent root your slide yet and you are thinking the iphone does a lot then i must say a rooted slide does a lot more than the iphone.. im not an iphone hater but for me android is waay better besides.. in a simple hardware side by side the slide kicks ass. It has a better processor (600mhz) while the iphone 3g (413 mhz or some) the slide has 512 mb of ram while the iphone has 256 mb... you have a keyboard, a 5mp camera with LED flash.. i dont know man but i would never change my slide over an iphone... thats my opinion...
root it and you will love it
Its funny you say that because I just rooted and flashed the rom to CM6.1.0RC3 last night. I loved my slide before, but now its simply amazing! Looks like I'll be hanging onto it. Thanks for the feedback.

See.. i told you you made the right choise.
for us who aren't on the stock rom, will we have to wait until some generous, caring dev here makes it into a zip for us to flash like any other?

Now I'm having second thoughts for some reason.. I currently have MyTouch 3G and dreading for a a new phone soon. Should I get the G2 now or just hold on a bit longer and get something better? please guys.. enlighten me with your thoughts and comments! thanks.
Also, If I do go forward in getting a G2.. should I upgrade through store or through phone?
Well i just switched from a mt3g to a g2....Once you have these phones side by side..The my touch feels like a toy!
Well. I came from a vibrant,it was awesome at first and then the bugs came out and I hated it,sold it and some cool guy sold me the g2 and this phone is the first and best keyboard phone I've ever had.I have compared it to my girls mytouch slide,and I had a mytouch 3g when it came out,not a big fan of those lag loving phones.its my 2 cents

Get the G2!!
It's currently the most powerful android phone out there, at least in my opinion.
There's nothing really better with T-Mobile, the Nexus S is more of Samsung's cheap plastic toys, Now with Google's full support! - If your in to that...
You should just get the g2. There's always going to be a better phone coming down the pipes. Its how the phone market works.

I owned the MT4G and had problems with it. I had a total of five MT4Gs (all exchanges) because they had creaking buttons issues. Instead of doing an exchange for a sixth one I told TMO customer service to give me the G2, so that is currently in transit and should be expecting it in a couple days. If the MT4G had capacitive buttons and not those physical ones, I would be a happy camper. Those buttons suck so bad, because you have cheap plastic buttons rubbing against a plastic bezel that causes them to produce this creaking sound. A couple of the phones I had exhibited loud & creaking sounds, and it was enough to drive me nuts. So, the MT4G is a great phone that's fast and gorgeous, but those buttons just ruined the overall experience.
The G2 is competent to compete with the MT4G. I personally think having the keyboard and the option of wanting to use it or not is better than not having it and won't be able to use it when you want to because you don't have it.
Plus, the G2 just looks so much better than the MT4G.
And its the difference between steel and plastic. I hope I never have to purchase a plastic phone.

I recommended the MT4G to my sister because she said she wanted video chat. She loves her phone. I am a keyboard guy, became frustrated with my HD2 because of the lack of a keyboard. So I got the vision and I also love my phone. Your call.
I don't know about the G2, but I've got the MT4G recently and really like it. I don't have problems wiith it. I mean other than unwanted pre-installed apps that I am unable to remove from the phone on this 2.3.4. I could do it on the 2.2.1. I got two of em for 18 dollars each. If I have problems I'll look asking for the G2. Is it 4G??
The devs just S-OFF'd the MT4Gs today, so it's only a matter of time before CM-based ROMs show up there. Look into that.
G2. Mt4g is below the g2.

That's why I said to look into the Slide. They just gained S-OFF, so it's only a matter of time before it gets CM-based ROMs.

MT4G is really ugly compared to G2. also the modified sense on the MT4G dosent look as good as sense 3.0 on evo 3D or sensation. if the components on the MT4G were in a sleeker device, like similar to G2, then i would get it.
MT4G would be an awesome phone if it didn't have so many hardware problems.
I originally bought a MT4G in November and had it replaced 5 times before customer service offered me the G2 as replacement and I couldn't be happier with the G2.
MT4G had SO many problems. Firstly I constantly got the "bad" screen and when I got the good one pixels burnt out. Overall I had two phone where pixels burnt out, two phones with the bad screen which I sent back and one with faulty memory which made the phone stuck in a permanent boot loop from day 1.
Honestly, I think the G2 looks better and the performance between the two is virtually identical. G2 is much snappier in day to day use. Espresso sense on the MT4G was absolute garbage which slowed the whole thing down.
G2 wins by a long shot.
Salutations everyone, I'm simply posting this because I wanted to know if anyone has information on a possible HTC G3. My contract with T-Mobile is ending soon and there are quite a few fantastic phones coming out but I LOVE the G series of HTC's Android phones. They come stock Android are very easy to use and MOST important to me at least is the physical keyboard. I NEED a physical keyboard.lol. Just wanted to know if anyone has any intel about it and if they aren't coming out with a G3 what phone would be recomended to me/anyone else in the same situation. Thanks in advance.
Ps. The Samsung Hercules is badass. Lol.

+ 1 to your query.
I'm also very curious about the next great HTC Android QWERTY-slider. Actually, the gadget wires have been strangely bereft of quality QWERTY-slider handsets in general. Looking-through the news about QWERTY-sliders, all I get are bits and pieces about the different carrier-specific variants of the Desire Z.
Both the G2 and Desire Z are about a year old at this point and the only viable replacement for me seems to be the Droid 3/Milestone 3. I've seen a Samsung QWERTY-slider handset headed to Verizon but, truthfully, it's ugly. There's also supposed to be a full-sized Sony Ericsson Xperia QWERTY-slider out soon but like the Verizon Samsung, it's plastic-y garbage. I'd rather avoid either handset if I can.
I think part of the reason is that with the larger screens being shipped these days, the suits that run the handset makers probably don't see a need for a QWERTY-slider -- it's easier to type on a virtual keyboard from a larger slate. From personal experience, I have to agree -- both my HTC Sensation and Galaxy SII are pretty easy to type on. Of course, I may just be a lousy touch-typist but I am still much faster on my Desire Z's qwerty keyboard. That's the reason why, even though I have (arguably) the Top 2 Android dual-core phones, I still use my Desire Z as my "main" phone.
Of course, from a practical perspective, I wonder if there's even still that much demand for an Android QWERTY-slider. Most business users, after all, still tend to gravitate towards Blackberries and the bland (not to mention dated) Blackberry OS UI.
It's reprehensible, really; having owned 2 Blackberries myself (for business reasons), I have got to say that I hate the damned things. That said, given Blackberry's dominance (perceived or otherwise) in the QWERTY field, perhaps HTC just doesn't see the urgency.
I really hope we see something soon...

I agree with this point as to why there aren't more qwerty slide out or on the horizon. The larger screen sizes coupled with better virtual keyboards with prediction are making the desire for them much greater than a hardware keyboard as well as not having the added bulk that the keyboard adds. Also, I think the manufacturers would rather not have to deal with making a qwerty phone because it could significantly reduce the amount of engineering involved in making one. Even though I love my G2, I think my next phone won't have a keyboard.

There are unconfirmed rumors about a "G-Infinity" but that's all that's known about that phone. T-Mobile USA is set to release the Ruby as the Amaze 4G.
I'm so ready for this... If the Droid 4 (Dec 22nd) doesn't suck like the last 3 droids than I might make the switch to verizon. 5 Row, 4" qwerty? Yes please...
Hopefully Motorola won't **** this up like they usually do. As much as I love HTC, they've been slacking lately. Google should have bought them instead of Motorola.

The Droid 4 (will be Milestone 4 this side of the pond) is utter sex. I want it.
The only problem is that, like all Moto phones, it will be locked down harder than Guantanamo Bay, preventing any kernel-level hacking, and thus the dev scene for it will pretty much be still-born.
Droid 1 didnt suck idk what your talking about the keyboard could of being better but specs was the best better than iphone 3gs in 2009. Droid 2 wasnt that great and droid 3 was good it have 5 keyboard row and the physical keyboard is good until they **** up with 4g lte radio instead they add 3g radio. Due to Verizon permission is not Motorola fault they listen to what Verizon demand as is Verizon paying for it.

Are you referring to the aesthetics? Because mechanically, the unit is VERY sound. The real buttons on the front are **MUCH** nicer than stupid digitizer-fake-buttons since they actually respond when you press them, and not randomly when you're trying to "scroll up" with the trackpad.

Certainly a matter of personal taste. But to me, all the Droid slider phones have looked good on paper, but feel cheap once hands-on. Not terrible, but not up to par with HTC's typical build quality. The Moto Droid phones just feel plasticky, and the keyboard keeps getting a bit better, but still not great.
Moto seems to be trying to kick things up a notch as far as physical quality with the Droid RAZR, and carrying some of those design features to the Droid 4. So I'd like to see what it feels like hands-on.

You really should check on tmonews.com from time to time. These threads that you posted in are just wishlists lol
Rather than creating a new thread.. I am looking for the same thing; any news since back when this post was created on a g3??
I am thinking about getting a new phone, and looking for a sweet qwerty android- I used to have the G1 and it was real nice at the time. I ve thought about the g2 but its a bit outdated and im a bit tempted to just go with the mytouch slide 4g but ive heard its keyboard aint as fantastic as the g2...
Please everyone stop talking about the next g2!!!! we're full of threads with opinions on next qwerty phone, next g2, next htc qwerty etc etc... can we just keep one? especially because there's no evidence of a new qwerty phone from htc...
I am on Sprint and love my rooted EVO, I am due to upgrade now and I am wondering what Android phone would be good to get if I replaced my EVO. I really want something that I can root and have the flexibility like my EVO. Is there something out there?
thanks for any insight you have.
Wait till Wednesday because Sprint and HTC are holding a press conference to announce probably a new phone.
Im in the same boat. iv had the evo since day 1 and my upgrade is due very soon. Im going to wait until next wait to hear about the new phones sprint has to offer at the press conference. As much as i want to upgrade I also do not want to! I love my evo and i love the support base it has on XDA with roms and tweaks! I feel like no other phone will have the support the evo has!

Hey,
I would wait because htc has the best phones, but remember sprint will be rolling out with more lte phones they might be worth waiting for since we are paying for premium data, just a thought
In a similiar situation myself. My upgrade became eligible 4/1. I am waiting till wend. But my concern is ...I have great 4g where I am and am concerned with upgrading to lte and being stuck on 3g for a year or more. The Cleveland area is in the third launch group.
To the op the epic touch seems great, I just added my daughter to my plan ( she got a free evo 3d great deal and great phone) and I got to play with it. The screen is amazing and very responsive. It also has great reviews. The only drawback is the forum for it here. I have been stalking it lately and it does not seem near as nice or active as the evo. 4g 's if I am wrong please correct me.

Hey,
I mean the development community is alright for the evo3d and it is a great phone, but the evo is one of the biggest hits and has a HUGE amount of support on the xda forums and we are truly blessed with that and it really isnt something you wont find on any other phone
i would definitely wait to see what the happens with the rumors of the htc evo one
if you're following development for your next phone, i'd say stick to the EVO series.
The Galaxy line heavily favors GSM (since its natively GSM) so development for CDMA galaxy phones are the tricklings from their GSM brothers and because of that ppl get more restless, constantly expecting more from their devs as they hear about what comes out for the GSM variant (i lived it - it WILL get to you, i had the S2 since launch), but no hate intended, the development has gotten up to speed recently and the devs that have stuck around are beasts, but the S2 forum had lost a lot of support/respect from devs bc of the overly anxious community.
The EVO line is basically reserved for CDMA/Sprint. i had the E3D at launch and now my bros E4G and the development/devs/community for each had better vibes. Development seemed to come naturally and more comfortably because there wasn't a GSM variant pushing the devs because "the same phone is getting more development". Ppl are more humane, so Devs stay happy. Devs stay, so we stay happy. From the way it looks, especially with most ppls upgrades coming up, the EVO One X, or whatever, is going to be the direct successor of this phone. so you can expect a lot of the development/devs/community to translate when it drops - of course, not to the same magnitude because its not so much of a game-changer as the Evo 4G was initially, but it will definitely get a lot of attention
I was obviously contrasting GNex + GSIII vs Evo One X but you could always wait a while to see the impacts of each phone and then decide. i'm probably pretty biased bc I cant wait for the EoX to drop but as long as there are CDMA and GSM variants of the same phone, one side is always getting the shorter straw

I wouldn't go for an EVO 3d for an upgrade.. its a nice phone but would be boring due to the sense 3.0 roms for the evo and 6 months after your upgrade you would want a newer one due to the 3d being.considered old now and the EVO 4G is so outdated sprint no longer sells it
I only mentioned the e3d because my daughter got 1 free I was looking at the s2. I really wanted the new evo one coming out but it being lte, I will lose my 4g till about late 2013 or about the time of my next upcoming upgrade. So if I want to keep wimax what is the best phone?

e4gt hands down. its blows the e3d away in design and performance, imo. if youre a true stickler on signal/reception - mopho, its a world phone too. the iphone isnt even 4g capable. i'd still stick with the e4gt if you must have a wimax device
