Anyone ditching their mytouch 3g slide for the 4g?

I'm looking into a Nokia n900 but for the meantime I am sticking wit my Slide

not me, if it was the Desire HD I'd be more inclined to consider it. for me they are gonna have to come stepping a lot better than this to get me to drop atleast $200 on another phone before next summer. minimum... 2nd Gen Snapdragon 1.2GHz, 4+ inch screen and hard keyboard (yeah, Swype is faster for most but with my hands being jacked up from turning wrenches for the Army I prefer real keyboard)
yes I know the Desire HD doesn't have a hard keyboard... that is why I said I'd consider it

Nope not till they get some OTA's to it to fix the signal problem its having. I hear it doesnt get a good signal as other android phones do. Thats the problem I had with vibrant. maybe in a month or two.

Nope not at all.

The diference between the desire hd and new mytouch, is that the desire hd has a bigger screen, no FFC, I think no HSPA+, but it has the better newer sense ui, but rumor is HTC is giving phones updates in december of this year, to get the new sense ui

What phone are you talking about, I'm talking about the unreleased mytouch

nope
The main thing i love about this phone is the slide out keyboard. mytouchHD or 4g or whatever it's called, doesn't have that. major no for me. on the brightside it does have video calling, but personally don't know a lot of people i could do that with so not needed for me.

depending on how people like the phone i would consider it

How much do you wanna bet, a few months past the release date, there will be a post just like this in the 4G section sayin "anyone ditching their MyTouch 4G for the MyTouch incredibly awesome and extreme?". Lol I'm just saying. With the way t-mobile has been pushing out MyTouch phones quicker than mexican mothers push out babies (I'm mexican not racist) the 4G will probably fade just a quick as the slide.

Yeah I agree, there's always a better phone on the horizon so you're better off picking one you like and sticking with it.
Something to keep in mind for those of you who are unhappy with the Slide, S-OFF is coming soon and once we have that we will be able to do more things to the device.

Your right about there is always a "better" phone coming, but I think the G2 and the new MyTouch will be pushed for the next year. The Slide just came out at a crappy time and got no love from T-Mo, hell you can't weven get a decent case for it.
And no I'm not switching for two reasons, no keyboard means no go and my wife would kick my a** if I got another phone this soon.

i really wanna keep my slide and push it like i did with the g1
but it is kinda sad the dev part is so slow and people pretty much abandoned it
#savetheslide

I have to say, i just looked and some of the reviews of the 4G, and i am not impressed. 4G is a no go for me.

I might wait it out for a dual-core phone of the 1.5ghz cpus. The 4G is okay, but doesnt improve on the slide that much or even the ui.

San Diego users?

I'm currently on at&t using the Galaxy S. I'm really thinking about switching to Sprint and grabbing the EVO.
I was hoping there are some San Diego users out there than can tell me how Sprint's coverage is in SD. Please throw in any comments about the phone as well.
Sprint would be quite a bit cheaper for my wife and I but I'm also thinking about switching because at&t's Android selection is terrible. The Galaxy S is super buggy and I'm sick of a non-function GPS.
Thanks!!

Thanks for the reply, but I want to stick to Android. The Aria is too small for me. The Aria and the Captivate are pretty much the only high-end Android options for at&t.

I don't live in san diego but worked out there for 2 months and had no problems from otay mesa, coronado, national city to san diego. The evo wasnt out yet when I was there so I don't know about 4g

Thanks for the info. I'm pretty sure Sprint hasn't launched 4G in San Diego... yet. It's a bummer that they make you pay for 4G even if you don't have it in your area.

I think you should wait for the shift to come out. Gives you more options. Even sprint has a limited selection. I left T-Mobile. Just for the EVO.

So you can toggle 4G on the EVO? Why not use it?
And yes, even WITH the $10/mo for 4G, my bill would be substantially cheaper than what at&t's charging me.

Can you get 4g on stock with the incredible?

Don't believe so. Our phone does not have the chip nor can it handle the 4G capability. Not that the phones that offer 4G cam handle it too well either.

No. There is no way to get 4G on this phone.

Sorry to burst your bubble. But the captivate isn't 4G. The only 4G LTE phones VZW has now are the HTC Thunderbolt, Samsung Droid Charge, and the LG Revolution.

but, no, the incredible is a 3G Smartphone, as it says on the box, no way to make it 4g connectable
as said before, Verizon does have another 4g phone on the way (the bionic) but, as of right now, they only have 3 on sale.

i just love how iPhone users come to me with my rooted droid inc, and all like "i have the 3 gees and i have the wifi, and stuff" and continue to blab about crap they have no idea how to work. i mean, if you have it, fine, just don't try to talk to me about the phone and "how it works, and i am a developer" when you don't even know how to make phonecalls on the damn thing.

Google nexus?

Should i stick with this trusty epic or move to the google nexus? I have an opportunity to try out the google nexus.....should i move to the nexus or stick with the epic out of everybodys opinion here? Just thinking of trying something new

.......wander thru the nexus threads here on xda, + you'll see what all is available in terms of ROMs + themes, you know, prospects for you as an end user running a different device..........in a few minutes you'd get a sense as to what other nexus users are experiencing w/ their device based on the specific carrier + a number of other factors........have fun!

The google nexus looks sexy. It's amost upgrade time for me... I'm thinking about sticking with my epic until more 4g lte phones become available. I already got fooled once into purchasing a 4g phone.

How did you get Fooled into buying a 4g phone I'm sorry but this phone you know the Epic 4g that you have was the best at its time and was better than any other 4g phone back in 2010 and half of 2011?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

Mr. Fanboy, I am not referring to the Samsung Epic Phone itself, I am referring to 4g in general. The only reason I purchased a 4g phone in the first place was because my local sprint store claimed 4g would be in Omaha within a couple months....It never happened. So now I am paying for something incorporated into my bill that I cannot use. Now Sprint is switching to 4g lte which will inevitably rule my phone useless when it comes to 4g down the line. 4G is the biggest scam in the history of mobile data.

When it first started that charge was only for 4g phones... wifes evo had the charge my smartphone (can't remember name only had it for a week) no 10 charge... as soon as I switched to epic 4g extra 10 dollar charge.... sales guy even said it was for 4g at the time... about a month later the "premium data charge" for all smart phones appeared..
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk 2

Mostly because they realized they would be required to give a refund if there was no 4G in your area...LOL. I think the salespeople were either misinformed or Sprint realized soon after that the new phones would still use the same amount of data just on 3G and they did not want to limit data like the other carriers.

Need help choosing between gnex and s3 [Sprint]

Im switching services to sprint and looking to either get the nexus or the s3. All hardware specs aside which would most likely be the better choice..? From what I read it looks like the s3 is stuck in 3g while lte rolls out for sprint. Im leaning towards the nexus as its a pure android phone with no bloat on top of it. Would it be a smart choice to go with the gnex or get the s3 and wait for the 4g lte?
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda app-developers app

GNex is LTE too so you would be stuck on 3G either way. Sprint 3G is terrible in case you didn't already know.

3g isn't bad for me. It's an easy choice IMO. If you want access to the latest software, and want it to be fully functional, and stable, go Nexus. The GS3 doesn't have "that" much going for it over the Nexus.
Sent from my AOSP Android 4.1.1 Galaxy Nexus

"All hardware specs aside" makes it very simple. Galaxy Nexus hands down. But please get the GSM version to get the full benefit and all of the freedom from contracts, carrier restrictions, and official software delays.

If your not getting GSM nexus may as well get the better hardware. S3 would be my recommendation, though I'll personally stick with my GSM nexus.
That's my unbiased opinion, considering the forum your on you should know what most people will say.

Dont be lured by the unlimited marketing engine from Sprint. Their network is horrible. 3g is more like 2g at best and 4g is hit or miss. I imagine given their track record, LTE will be the same. Unlocked GNEX on T-mobile is the way to go! Thats what I did and couldnt be happier.

Bad 3G? It really all depends on location. Really if your not in an area where LTE will be very prevalent. Then go with the GSM. Otherwise you may want to reconsider the sprint nexus. I've seen people getting consistent 25+ Mbps. And just as much upload. That plus non throttled unlimited is heaven sent.
