[Q / Poll ] MyTouch4G or HD7? Advice / Experiences etc please.. - General Questions and Answers

I am currently getting service from Tmobile USA and I have been waiting for a real high end phone to come out so I can upgrade to it -now that the MyTouch4G and the HD7 are coming out -I am thinking about getting one or the other
...so far one thing that disappoints me about both of them is that they seem to have just a regular LCD screen (not an AMOLED, SLCD, or SAMOLED etc...)...I like the look and eye candy of WP7 and the games it seems to aim for...but then the specs of the MyTouch4G are good because it has a next gen processor and almost 1gb of ram...also it is capable of using Tmobiles new network speeds...(not sure if the hd7 can do that or not)...
Which would you advise me to get? or which would you prefer?

You are the one who will be using it...get what works best for you

thanks, I understand that -but I am really just looking for input from others, maybe they can shed light on another angle or something even...

My understanding is that
the only two phones coming out for HSPA+ are the g2 and the mytouch. HD7 will not support the new speeds. So it depends on what you are looking to accomplish. Me personally? I wouldn't go hd7 just for that reason alone.

yeah, but I think it will be able to do HSPA thought which would still be faster than just UMTS 3G (Correct me if I am wrong at all)...plus -WP7 looks pretty nice IMO ...

Please -anyone with any opinions or advice(s) ...leave a post here and a vote... thanks =)...
I would think some more people would have something to say since the MT4G has been released already...

I would say...I would choose the HD7, but put the next gen Snapdragon CPU, and the RAM (about 768mbs?) from the Mytouch4G into the HD7. I would also like to take the internet capabilities from the Mytouch4G(HSPA+ I believe?) and put that as well into the HD7...Then I would also like to make the HD7s screen something like an SLCD, AMOLED, or S-AMOLED display...
How does that sound? That is what I like about each...

wait and see what the nexus two has to offer imo

Please Help!... 1Ghz Tmobile USA compatible phones?

I Currently have the HD2 TMobile USA version, and I am pretty sure I will be returning it simply because I can not stand the fact that it does not have any games which show off the wonderful specs of the phone, so I will return it, but may return TO it one day...
So I am ready to explore another phone and would like to know if there is another Tmobile USA (3G) compatible phone with a 1Ghz+ processor ? Please advise me... I was checking out the Desire, would that be compatible with Tmobile USA 3G etc ?....
Thanks very much in advance for all your help / knowledge....
Please reply if you have any insight at all...
for instance, I have read that tmobile uses 1700/2100mhz for 3G...
is this true? Is this true for both US and UK? I am more interested in what are the 3G bands for US...I have searched but I get mixed answers...so this is one topic which will help me deduce if a phone will work on the Tmobile USA 3G network...
The Desire will definitely not work on T-Mobile USA 3G bands. T-Mobile requires both the 1700 and 2100 3G bands, and the Desire does not support 1700. Your best bet is the T-Mobile band version of the Nexus One or the T-Mobile HD2 if you absolutely must have a "1GHz processor."
Typically most phones not specifically sold for the US market will not work on US carriers on 3G.
Thanks for that info, I will be returning the HD2, so I am looking for an alternative because I really like the speed and specs just does not have a desired app market... so I wish they would make phones more universal....
are there any other alternatives besides the HD2 and Nexus One ?

Not yet...
Is there a reason why you would prefer the Desire over the Nexus One? I'm just curious. The Desire is almost the same as the Nexus One in terms of size and functions, but with HTC's Sense. If HTC Sense is what you want, I do believe that it is possible to have Sense on the Nexus One.
I don't know, I like the idea of the 'optical' mouse instead of the trackball....but it looks like I will be getting a nexus one...hopefully I will not be sorry? (although I miss the big screen size of the HD2...but the nexus one has a nicer quality screen)...give n take here n there

Nexus One also has the cool little multi-colored LEDs that light up the trackball for notifications. I say go for the NexusOne, then again, I'm really not a huge fan of HTC Sense on Android.
Don't return the HTC HD2.. just sell it on ebay for like 599$+ and, buy a Nexus One with money to spare.
Just try the Nexus and you'll be a happy camper

I agree; some people (hi iPhone users!) really underestimate the Nexus One. I think until they try it out in their everyday activities will they start to understand how useful it can really be.

thats what I was thinking, but I returned it anyway...I still have my upgrade opportunity now and if some other phone comes by for tmobile I will be able to upgrade to it -although it does not seem like they will have anything as good as the Nexus One/HD2 any time soon so maybe I should get the HD2 and sell it... the guy in the store said it still sells out and while I was returning it there was even someone who called and asked when they will have more in....haha

Man I want the desire for USA tmobile....why cant they just come out with something similar at least (besides the nexus)...

HTC Incredible, EVO 4G or Nexus One ?

I am currently with tmobile and ordered a Nexus One without a contract... So now I got to thinking: I like the Incredible and EVO 4G...but is it worth getting a whole new contract on Verizon (1 Or 2 Years) or Sprint (2 Years only) ? I am kind of stressed out about this -it is a headache for me, I just want to get something I will be happy with...
I had the HD2 and returned it (not enough suitable games for the hardware...so I decided to move to android)....
So I think my two most reasonible options are to:
+ Stay with Tmobile and keep my Nexus One until something else comes along compatible with TMobile USA... (I am paying about 140.00 a month w/ 3 lines unlim texting for all...and unlim data for two lines... plus 1000 minutes, and free mobile to mobile)
+OR Sign up with a 1 Year verizon contract...
(now mind you, I will be paying @ least 90 to 109$ a month for an individual plan and keep the other two phones on tmobile until their contract expires...will be about 90 a month for Tmobile after this). So all in all costs = about 190 a month to get the incredible...
I know the pros and cons of the phones pretty much:
EVO 4G:
+ 4g, 4.3" LCD screen, front facing camera (nice but I dont think I may use it much), hdmi out, better multitouch hardware than N1
Incredible:
+ OLED 3.7" screen (same as N1?),8GB onboard + 2GB micro w/ verizon, optical 'track ball' ,also better multitouch hardware than N1
N1:
+ trackball ?(a neg for me actually), nothing else above the others that I can see....
sorry if this is a stupid thread...just asking for your advices/ideas/thoughts...please help me make a decision....Thanks for your time...
any ideas?
Stay with the Nexus & no contract...I think your going to really like it's performance! If not, then you can try the others not on GSM...
Well my .02 for what it is worth would be keep the N1, the Incredible while seemingly better is a slight upgrade from the N1 imo... I heard the onboard 8GB of memory cannot be used to install applications on, and one review (Engadget) said a lot of things couldn't even see the memory... The Nexus One is a great phone, and I just got mine for AT&T; give it a go first!
But the incredible doesn't seem too hot for me, I hear VZW is going to LTE and what-not soon! However the Evo 4G does look really cool, but it is on Sprint. It seems like keeping the N1 is economically feasible and you won't be disappointed, or at least I haven't!

Thanks for BOTH of your responses...
I do like the N1...nice sleek and small...just makes me think when I hear about the EVO 4G and the Incredible having the better multi touch...
also that 8GB would be nice to have instead of just 4GB with the n1, also VZW will be giving a 2GB memory stick with it so that is 10GB of usable storage (somewhat usable)...
I guess the N1 is a better choice since I also still have the option to upgrade my phone at any time, hopefully Tmobile will come out with some better phones than the HD2 some time soon -I am sure there will always be better phones, but its just a matter of if they will support the TMobile USA bands...otherwise I may have to switch companies...
I also like the Optical trackball...I think it would have a longer life than the actual trackball...but on the EVO I do not like the LCD screen, the AMOLED screen is much nicer...
The N1 is also the first device to receive an official upgrade to Froyo (and let me guess also future versions). For the others you have to rely on HTC.

I don't see why the HTC Desire would get LESS support than N1. The N1 has just been around a bit longer so you probably find more support but I guess this soon changes. In the end both are HTC devices and will receive equal support, probably Desire with even more support thanks to Sense UI included....

Its OK, my bad, i meant out of the devices that were listed, Xda seems to be a GSM device forum (?), i expect the desire, legend and many other GSM phones to be supported here, by default i thought that you go to the PPC website for CDMA (Please, correct me if i'm wrong, i'm in the UK so we only have GSM here )

Captivate or the HTC Desire?

Rogers said they are getting the captivate soon, and Telus announced that they are releasing the Desire tomorrow ($449 no contract)
Im debating on which i should get. I've wanted the HTC desire for ages, but i heard the captivate has a better processor?
Any ideas?
yeah captivate wins out on hardware wise, but desire already has good development going on if i'm not mistaken. Dev's are still working on the ins and outs of the galaxy s series.
If you're willing to learn a bit about android and change some settings, i recommend the captivate by far.
If you want a good out of the box experience i think the desire may be better for you?

Captivate
Pros
-Bigger, better SAMOLED screen. Better multitouch sensors = better multitouch experience.
-Arguably the fastest SOC (CPU + GPU combo) available on the market right now
-16gb on board storage, supports up to a 32gb storage card.
-Swype keyboard pre-installed
-Thinner, sleek form factor
Cons
-No camera flash
-Samsung TouchWiz vs HTC sense (subjective)
-No indicator LEDs
You can't go wrong either way, but with the exception of the camera flash, the Galaxy S/Captivate has superior hardware.
I sold my Nexus One to buy the Captivate and you couldn't pay me to go back. Sure the N1/Desire has better dev support but with CM and Froyo coming to the Galaxy series there isn't a huge need. Not to mention the fact that the Galaxy is going to sell FAR more units than the N1/Desire so the devs will come. The media support of the Captivate alone is worth the switch and the true multi-touch display is a godsend coming from the buggy N1 screen. I do miss the notification trackball on the N1 more than I thought. Let me know if you have any specific questions, I've owned both.
I posted this same topic on teh Desire board, and someone said that the cpu's are similar, but the gpu in the captivate is much better, which is pretty obvious in that quake 3 demo video that's been floating around alot.
But i dont really plan on playing any games.. i mean if i had the captivate, id definatly ahave an intence game on it just to show off to my friends, but i dont plan on sitting there playing a game.
Also, camera flash isnt a big con really, but its nice to have. The LED indicator on the other hand is a must have ever since i had my bb curve 8310. I got an htc magic now and i miss that blinking red light like crazy. I know the captivate has some app to use a random pixel buthaving teh real deal is always better imo.
custom interface (touchwiz vs htc sense) isnt a big deal sincei can probably just put a desire rom on the captivate and vice versa..
I dont know. I guess ill wait for the pricing from Rogers for the captivate. IF its something stupid (which it probably will be) then ill get the Desire.
Also, if i get the desire, ill ahve to worry about unlocking it, which i know nothing about..
Rogers will launch the Captivate at pretty much the same price as the Desire and Vibrant.

The camera on the Captivate takes some fantastic night shots without flash. Flash also has limited range. Its better to brighten up an entire image rather just focusing a spotlight (LED) on a certain area of the photograph.
so i guess its stupid for me to get teh desire? it's just simply out dated now?
The Captivate and Desire may seem similar on paper but processor speed being equal does not make the processors equal. Is an AMD processor running at 2ghz the same as an Intel processor running at 2ghz? The answer is no.
The Captivate processor is the same processor in the iPhone 4 with a better (but same type) GPU. This is why the other post stated that the Captivate has the best SOC (system-on-a-chip) currently being sold.
The Captivate is not without it's bugs but those will get worked out. I have always been the type to look for potential and not just out-of-the-box. Once we get Froyo on this device it is going to be incredibly "Captivating." LOL (yes, I know that was corny)
I'm having serious doubts about my Captivate. I have yet to hear anything from Samsung about when or IF they will fix the GPS issues. I never realized how much I relied on GPS and just took it for granted when I'm looking for shortcuts cutting through the city, etc. But this phone can't ever find me. And when you are driving down a road at 50 mph and need to decide where to turn next, you need a phone that can find you within seconds, not through up a blue area that you MIGHT be in.
I'm reading this topic over on HowardForums and i get the feeling like the Captivate is the better phone..

I just checked at a Telus store, if you are planning on buying the Desire to unlock and use on Rogers the price becomes $599. The $449 price is only the buy out price for using on an existing Telus plan.
I'll be waiting for Rogers to release the Captivate I guess...

That's BS. Goto BB or FS and buy it outright. I swear some cellphone dealers are worse than used car salesmen, either by choice or ignorance.

myTouch or Venue Pro?

I'm on Tmo and there seem to be a flurry of high end devices; G2, myTouch, HD7, and Dell VP.
I'm in between the MT-HD and the Dell VP. I like the myTouch over the G2 because I don't like the bulk of a hardware KB and I like the FFC of the MT-HD. I favor the Dell over the HD7 for the AMOLED screen and the psuedo-exclusivity of it as it will only be sold online, like my N1.
So, which one is better?

Go for the MyTouch - WP7 lacks a lot of basic things, cut/paste among them. Also, no HSPA+ phones at WP7 launch, so you're better off with the faster device, faster network, and better all-around OS.

I just don't understand why WP7 doesn't support HSPA+ pretty disappointed. I'm intrigued by WP7 in the way I am with a very hot girl, but who is dumb. Drawn to it despite my better judgment and I can't help it.
I just like the Dell hardware and WP7 is new and I'm a little bored of Android. Hopefully Gingerbread quells that.

Personally...from looking at the specs, and knowing the unrootable issue with the G2...I would definitively go with the 4G. Not only are you getting a great device....but the mobile data speeds are suppose to be double and nearly triple on this device.
While I'll be buying the Dell Venue Pro, I can tell you'd probably enjoy the myTouch 4G more.
Or you could do like me and just buy both, lol. I love Android too much to completely abandon it. Don't think I'll go with the myTouch 4G, though. Don't like the styling.
Just so you know, the dell won't be sold in t mobile stores.

The styling is the only thing wrong w the phone. Has all the latest hardware and assuming it can be rooted and have ROMs loaded on it, I think I can get past it. Although the red color they slowed on Engadget earlier this month does look pretty nice.

You honestly can't go wrong with either. It just depends on if you want to try something new and fresh or something you're familiar with and know what all it has already.
As for the Venue being sold online only, can you link me to where you read that? The reason I ask is cause USPS lost my G2 while I was trying to have it returned and I really don't want to order another phone and risk having it lost/stolen again.

It's on any of the youtube previews and engadget, pocketnow, etc. I'd do you a greater service and link you to Dell where you could pre order one, but they have done little in promoting this thing so far and not even up for pre order yet. The only mention of the thing is on Dell's blog and there's no release date or pricing.

thats how i feel about the mytouch hd/4g drawn in to the shiney, but unlike you i prefer a physical keyboard, but wtih the mytouch's slightly faster processor and front facing camera i have to wonder which is better for me in the long run.
Eh I dont see this coming out till 3rd quarter if we're lucky. I'm either going to take the plunge for the Desire-Z (if I can get a NAM). And buy the Glacier when it comes out.

Buy sensation or wait for Hercules

Is sensation really good ? Does it have problems like g2x ? I have mytouch 4G now. Not sure to wait for Samsung Hercules or get HTC sensation ? What would you guys do ? Please share
Obviously asking this question in the Sensation forum is going to be biased toward the Sensation. I'd get the Sensation....but I'm not you and don't know your situation.

I have the G2x and the Sensation and while they both have tremendous potential they both have multiple issues. I would wait for Hercules as I am going to sell one of the two or both and purchase the Hercules.
buy or wait?
There will always be a newer/better phone that will be out within 3 days, 3 weeks, 3 months of buying your next phone. You have to ask yourself a different question, which phone will have the features I need and will really use? If you are simply holding out for the best phone right now you will be disappointed and frustrated and not fully happy with your next purchase. I love the Sensation. I waited for months to get it and I am happy with my purchase. I have always rooted my android phones to use unavailable features on stock phones like; the wifi tethering with my laptop and tab. This is already built in and available the moment you buy it. ATT and Sprint and Verizon charge for this feature. BOOOOO! Good for T-Mo while it lasts. The phone is responsive, comes loaded with useful apps and widgets, it's sexy and fun to play with I have Netflix working on it (so do many others, I did not invent the wheel), hbo-go, and other streaming apps that work great on the sensation. The camera is decent enough for me not to carry a dedicated camera for photos and videos. For me, I use multimedia daily, and this phone meets my needs. I was buying every new phone that came out and was never satisfied. The sensation is a good buy, the hercules will be out in the next 2-3 months and by then there will be another phone with even better specs that will leave you drooling. I am sure it will be a great phone too.
I was really excited about the announcement of the Hercules and besides the GPS problem, I loved my Vibrant(wife has it now). But IMO, as nice as Sammys designs are(I don't like the design of the Sensation) they make the bezel too big.
My sensation is just as big as my Vibrant even though it has a 4.3 inch screen. I've always hated the added real estate which is why I chose the Sensation over the gx2. If the infuse is any idication of how big the Hercs going to be, I might pass on it and see what comes out next year. Besides, I love the weight of my HTC. I hated how light my Vibrant was even though that thing was literally indestructable.
First off ask yourself the question cause only you can decide ,if you like bland vanilla and super amolded screens then go with Samsung, if you like widgets and eye candy then sensation is the one ....all phones with this much horsepower have issues and I mean all ,once bootloader is unlocked on sensation you'll have the speed to go with the looks ,and if you're not interested in flashing then you still got a great device , but like mentioned earlier after the Hercules there will be something better 3 months later ,it will never end
simply put:
4.3" qHD >>>> 4.5" WVGA
So far all of the information leaked about the Hercules shows that its not using the exynos soc. Just some food for though. The waiting game does suck though because something better will come out after the Hercules. That's just the way it is.

Yep, it's rumored to be using the APQ8060, which is the same as the MSM8260 without the integrated HSPA radio. This is probably because the Hercules will have 42 Mbps HSPA+ connectivity and it will need a separate radio for this and that the Exynos SoC is already in limited quantity (some SGS II variants will have the Tegra 2).

Which I why I got the Sensation. Pixel density FTW.
Cannot wait for the HTC unlock. Need to cleanse bloatware.
I love the resolution on this phone. Can't go wrong with qHD, it makes the Sensation that much more beautiful.

I won't go with a Samsung again after having the vibrant. Samsung is the slowest company to come out with updates.

The killer feature on the Hercules is that 42mbps speed. The usb radios that are out are getting speeds that rival Verizon's LTE.
On the down side (for me) is that with a 4.5 inch screen and that Samsung bezel it is going to be a huge phone - nudging into small tablet territory. Battery life will also be tricky.
At the moment I'm not willing to trade a great svelte HTC design for a faster Sammy slab. But we'll see when it comes out.

Given some of the deals we've seen for the Sensation... I'd definitely lean in that direction. 4.5" is pushing it for me, and the qHD is nicer than I originally thought it would be.
I hope there will be good support from the community with custom Roms.. How are the chances for that to happen?
The Sensation is like the Desire... huge Dev support
It is a great Phone and there will be as much People like in the Desire section ... so much support from the DevĀ“s
The Sensation is just great! I would never take a samsung instead of an HTC.... Sense is too great and the bigger Resolution is so nice! You feel it very much and movies are just wow on this phone! And the Sound! Great!
Just a Multimedia Talent..... I would not wait if i am able to use this phone! I will never miss something like this phone!
Just great! There are little mistakes but Touch Wiz ist just crap!

Although it will technically be capable of those speeds, I doubt it will come anywhere near those speeds. The sensation should be able to hit 11Mbs theoretically but the fastest i've had it download was 7.9Mbs. I'm sure the Hercules will be closer to 11Mbs speeds in real world.

They just updated half their Android line up to 2.3.4 in the past two months. They've updated the SGS2 four times and a fifth update to 2.3.4 is due out by the end of the month. There's a difference between getting updates directly from Samsung and having to be dependent on your U.S. carrier to get them out. The global Sensation's are being updated now. Let's see how long it takes T-Mobile to push the U.S. update.

It should get 20 mbps with ease if you're in an area that supports that connectivity. T-Mobile demonstrated those type of speeds using a data stick.
soon there will be a samsung amoled hd screen soon and thats my new phone.
