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?

So I'm on my second g2 I love the phone but the hinge killing me I haven't even been a customer for a week and I already asked for a second replacement phone so should I try the mytouch or stick with the g2 I like development also and if there's none on the mytouch 4g then I might aswell stay

I want to try tye 4g as well. I tried the hd2 and I love thesceeen because it was so clear and big. Hd2 is ok and the keyboard isn't as what I expected. I don't use it as much. I use the on screen keyboard more. Thinking of switching back to my iphone ha

The MT4G is a POS and I've had PLENTY of experience with it. Here's what I said in another similar thread...
All I can tell you is that I went through five MyTouch4Gs to realize that there are numerous issues with them. I encountered creaking/squeaking buttons and a washed-out display, others have experienced cracked bezels, dust under the display, FFC not centered and more. I really, really wanted to enjoy that phone, but after going through five of them I gave up on it, and went with the G2. Best decision I've made on a phone. Never did I think I would need or use the physical keyboard, but now that I've had it for a few weeks I now use it all the time. It's a wonderful keyboard, and I have no regrets going from the MT4G to the G2.
My advice to you would be to do some homework in the MT4G sections of XDA, to see what others have to say about it. Lots of problems for many, not all, and the one other thing that sucked about that phone is the lack of ROM development. It finally started picking up steam when I got my G2, but it's still nothing compared to the ROM development being done on a daily basis for the G2.
My wife has a MyTouch 4G.
The Sense is really aggravating, even after I've installed ADW and rooted so I could remove as much of the bloatware as I could it's still bloated an heavy. If it were my phone I would be running a CM nightly on it but I don't want to run non-stable code on my wifes phone. She will be getting CM7 once it's final and stable.
The physical buttons work well enough.
It's a bit faster than G2 but not enough to make a difference in day to day use.
thanks im going to keep it
Use evils one stop shop mt4g rom .....and if u hate the hinge just dont use it lol?

The G2 is the spiritual successor to the G1 (Dream), is there any idea what will be the successor to the G2? A possible G3?
In that it will have a hard keyboard, run pretty much vanilla Android and of course be from HTC
What do you guys think?
I'm looking at this if it is made by htc

Well its not android and no "4G". Besides that there isn't much diff. Not a fan of windows phone 7 and how they lock everything down.
Would be nice to see the successor for G2

apparently the succesor was supposed to me the my touch 4g slide but i dont think so. i hope they will make a g3 cuz there are less and less qwerrty smartphones now

No... The MyTouch 4G slide is the successor to the....... MyTouch 3G slide.
The MyTouch lines and the "G" series lines are different. They define the Mytouch line as the more basic-user line, and the "G" phones as a higher end or pro-user group.
Remember that the G2 isn't really that old yet. If I had to guess we'd see a G3 of sorts in the next several months. I'm pretty sure the G2 sold well for T-mobile and they like offering it.
So, i know this really isnt quite the right place...but what ever...So i've been using the incredible for over a year now, and i've gotten really used to the trackpad; I love it. But i've noticed on most new phones, atleast the verizon ones, theres no trackpad!? What happened HTC?! so i was wondering, when flashing a rom with clockwork on a phone with no trackpad, how do you scroll? do you have to use the volume buttons? there are other issues with no trackpad...like the fatfinger selection, sometimes you go to click something, but its so close to another thing you click the other thing instead...does anyone else love the trackpad? this is kind of a big issue for me...i really love my dinc, but kinda want 4g and front facing camera (and has to be a htc phone; i like the home button where it is!!!) faster cpu would be nice too..but any way...i just wanted to vent and see if anyone else has put thought into this...i mean the dinc is a great phone, and with new roms coming out all the time(been running NilsP Business gingersense andro2.3.3 with sense 3.0) it can stay uptodate pretty well, but only on the software side...ok..i'm done...
You should have vented in the General Section. This doesn't contribute at all to any development.
If I've helped you, hit the thanks button!
Wrong section.
Don't hold me on this, but I think the HTC Desire Z/T-Mobile G2 was the last HTC phone with a trackpad..
edit: MyTouch series, also..
Hope a mod moves this to general.
I completely agree. I find the trackpad extremely useful at times. Without even thinking about it I go right to it.
The truth is the DInc is getting older. Although I have had it for two years and still f'n love it, its time will be up. There are many amazing and powerful phones coming out and its just gonna get better. Personally, I'm looking at the HTC Vigor or Samsung Droid Prime as my next device. They seem to me the only Verizon phones that could possibly live up to the Incredible legacy.

Well I'm pretty sure as your are in the minority. As most people, that I know anyway, don't use the touchpad and find it a waste of space.

+1. Don't use it, need it, or want it.
Trackball, yes. (Droid Eris)
Optical trackpad? No. Awful.
Volume keys work fine in recovery. And you can't get a hair stuck in them which causes your homescreen to scroll like crazy.

Oh man don't get me started on track balls... Those things suck... Do you know how many of those things fall out?!!? I've had the Samsung omnia (windows based smart phone) It was my first optical trackpad, damn thing was great even could change it to a mouse which was pretty cool...then moved to a moto droid, no trackpad of any kind until you open the kb, horrible design in my opinion. And how are you supposed to "hover" over a video(like on Bing) so it plays? I can hover over it with my trackpad with out opening it.

So... I just looked at the droid prime... Disappointed... They're taking of the physical buttons... I like my buttons below the screen.... Maybe the dinc will be my last phone.. never upgrade.... Ill just get a new 4g phone and pull out the cellular reciever and the front facing camera.. who needs a proximity sensor anyway?

Well hello everyone, iv been on the forums for a while, not posting much but reading alot! iv used the great vault of information here to root my G2 and have loved it ever since...but along came the SGS2
Now I really want this phone as iv had mine for while, my biggest and I mean HUGE problem is no physical keyboard. as a texting maniac I push 10k a month or more, so much I can type without looking at my keyboard.
Everything about the SGS2 is an upgrade from my phone except the keyboard.
Will the 4.52inch screen help me with the on screen or should I wait for a dual core with qwerty?
I also program and develop custom kernels, and other misc things,
thanks to luckyduck I have the dump file from the SGS2, but no phone for testing or finding exploits
biggest question, losing my keyboard is the SGS2 worth it?? thanks guys
I wait for a dual core with qwerty
theres already a MT4G slide

Yes i had a Mytouch 3g slide, G2, Mytouch 4g and I can save the bigger the phone the easier it is to type. I personally find the virtual keyboard better now. The best keyboard of choice would be swiftkey X my favorite. I pretty much only press space and type whole conversations with people.

Thanks for the help, I did see swiftkey X but havnt used it before, is it really that easy?
I also beta test the latest Swype all the time on my G2 and I love it when I have to use the on screen. im slowly on my way to buying this
I also faced this dilemma back when I switched from an E71 to touch phones. Swype is awesome once you get the hang of it, very fast. I find myself using the Swype keyboard meanwhile switching to the Samsung one every now and then.
The newest swype update is better and its only getting better, u dont even have to press space anymore when typing its so nice..

SwiftKey x keyboard reads your facebook, sms, rss, twitter, and gmail account google chats included. It learns the way you type. I like it there are other keyboards out there which are more customizable then swift key. I had a g2 and first thing I noticed I hardly ever used the hardware keyboard. It took some time to get use to only virtual keyboard but eventually you will be used to it. I advise you to try out different keyboards one will be to your liking. I was a hardware keyboard only guy. You can always return it if you don't like it. In the end. It's all personal preferences.
Well I have always been a physical keyboard person so it will be a big adjustment for me, trying the on screen on my 3.7inch G2 didnt work so well, but I really think that the 4.52 on the SGS2 will really help and of course ill have swype and maybe try the swiftkey X aswell.
I really hope if I go down and buy it, I dont get plagued by the Vertical Line issue thats come up now.
Thanks for the input guys i'm really leaning towards the SGS2 now, if CM is confirmed for development on this, I know a few on the team then im totally Sold and will start my programming up to make it the best!
g2 is the best phone i ever had!! I moved to gs2 and I Love it!
