Mytouch 4g or nexus s

Hi, I currently have a rooted mytouch 4g running android 2.3 that I bought used off of craigslist. I got an offer to trade my mytouch 4g plus cash for a nexus s brand new. Now I don't necessarily love Samsung but the deal seems like it could be beneficial to me. Some background:
I have a mytouch with a 'bad screen'
I have absolutely none of the original packaging or accessories.
The phone is a bit scuffed up and it is purple.
Now I was hoping you guys could give me your opinion, if you were in my shoes, would you trade or keep the phone?

I wouldn't....

too many bad things about the nexus s, and far too many fones that will be released in the next few months that will outdate "kill" the nexus S while the mt4g even with a bad screen STANDS STRONG, i also have a bad screen and this is far better processor, plus you can contact htc through tmoble to possibly exchange now for the scuffs u can spend 11bucks at ur local mall and get watever color gel case u want and.u now have ur fave color mt4g in ur hands
just my opinion do sum reading thru here there are lots of negatives to the nexus s, our (mt4g) gingerbread runs wayyy better

I honestly do not see why not... If I was in your shoes I would do it, if you don't you will probably be asking yourself what if? Plus you should factor in the following which is are you able to fully utilize hspa+ where you are.... Ultimately it also comes down to whether you have patience for Nexus S development to pick up and moreover if the mytouch better suits what you need... The Nexus S in my honest opinion is currently a better offering hardware wise and potentially (support google/dev scene) software wise with the largest omission being hspa+...
Apparently very debatable

I got the NS for 1 week and I went back to the MT4G. Maybe you like the NS, so try it and if not you can trade it again. I had a thread about my experience with the NS and compared it a bit to the MT4G.

I'm returning my Nexus S tomorrow. Picked up the my touch yesterday. So far I think this version of Sense is terrible. That, however can be fixed. Really there are a number off things I don't like about the my touch yet I will still return the Nexus. GPS, accelerometer, and compass all function much better on the my touch. Huge difference. If I'm going to spend 500 bucks on a phone I expect the features that make it more than just a phone to work well. Updates from Google are important but I would rather have well functioning hardware. If the my touch never receives another ota it's still a pretty good phone. The Nexus will probably never have a stable compass or gps. That's my take at least. There were some other hardware issues such as phantom button presses that put me over the edge with the Nexus, but that may have been cured with an exchange.

I went from the G1, which I loved, to the Vibrant, which I loved to hate. The developers did the best they could but the phone was still sitting with no official froyo six months after release, so I got fed up and sold it.
I got a Nexus S after the hype, went through two replacements before I got one that functioned properly. In the end, I still couldn't come to terms with the fact I was essentially buying another Samsung phone. I did some comparison shopping. Turned my S back for a refund and got a MT4G.
I did have to exchange the MT4G one time to get one with a good display, so I wasn't too happy at first, but now I'm much happier than I was with the Nexus S. It's got a more solid build, the camera is better, the buttons are responsive (big problem with the Nexus), the GPS locks quickly, I trust an HTC device 100x more than a Samsung device, and considering that we are getting Cyan 7 nightlies that are already fairly stable, I know I've made the right choice.

Thats what I would do... Make a post, selling a Nexus S you haven't traded for yet, and see how many hits you get... if you get some legit hits.. I would trade the MT4G for the NS and sell the NS, then buy a MT4G or wait for some of these next-gen phones to come out. I LOVE the MT4G....it is amazing...think the NS fails in comparision...and anyone that would pick a NS over the MT4G is prolly just doing so because they are google fanboys, or they don't want to admit to themselves they paid 500 dollars for a phone that is basically the iphone with bugs....I honestly don't think anyone looking at the matchup objectively would pick the NS over the MT4G. Good Luck with your decision making, hope it works out.

You really want to get some unbiased answers post this same question in the Nexus S forms... Btw, I agree with the poster above if your heart is set on a mytouch 4g turn around and sell the Nexus S you acquire and obtain a mytouch 4g with the better built screen and possibly a better exterior color, like black

LOL now now lets not be that harsh, NS can still beat down the iPanzy 4 with its eye closed. But NS does not compare against MT4G as we know TMo Project: Emerald was successful IMO they created a monster muahaha and even its brother DHD can't beat MT4G in speed yet they share similar spec. NS could have been good but its crippled by Samsung due to their inferior management and other marketing factors.

If I am not mistaken doesn't the hummingbird processor take advantage of gingerbread in ways any generation of the snapdragon processor cannot? Or was this a myth?

Originally I wanted the nexus s but my parents got me the mytouch.
To me 2.3 was a huge bonus for the nexus s but now the mytouch has 2.3 so its all good. The next advantage was the better screen for the nexus but now that super amoled two displays are coming out the nexus screen will be obsolete soon enough.although if I was you I would just wait for the phones announced at ces to come out.

Yeah, you're pretty much going to get biased opinons, but I think the myTouch has a better chance of anything at this point. We got the CM7 nightys coming along nicely, and we even have a cleaned up version of the stock rom which runs like fire (Iced Glacier) and overall it supports TMobile's 4G network.
MyTouch all the way. You really don't need the NFC for another couple of years cause they're just starting to put some use to it.
MyTouch all the way, and plus read some of the stuff about the Nexus, it's having lagging issues, random reboots and such. And plus it's a Samsung device, that doesn't mean it won't get the next version of Android quick, but the fact that it's just a samsung device and that it feels like ****. The Mytouch (at least mine) feels solid.

ATM its just a myth as Hummingbird S5PC110 does not stand a chance with Snapdragon MSM8255 was only factor with 1st gen Snapdragon. But however at the same time credit must be given to SGX 540 as its slightly better than Adreno 205. Then again this is where Samsung can only excel huh in graphic and SAMOLED display. Also don't let the whole NS using ext4 BS get to you as we are still not in dualcore world fully but ext4 does have its benefits. Overall MT4G beats NS with its face down in the gutter where Samsung belongs. This device is not any type of flagship but it does have potentials as lineup device, only thing I see holding it back is Samsung lol and then again they tend to do that.

I've had both but ultimately chose the MyTouch because having 4g speeds made a huge difference in the entire experience. On the NS I was always having to run wifi. Also the NS just never felt complete. Running CM7 makes the MT4g a complete phone.

Dont, Nexus S isnt really a that good of phone plus u have gingerbread etc and Nexus S is samsung made. Cheap quality. MT4g kicks its ass in CPU and Some GPU stuff ( shader performance and more) so i say keep it

If you have 2.3 on your mt4g there is no point. That's the only thing the nexus s has over mt4g out of the box. Plus the mt4g has 4g and HTC is better than Samsung by a long shot...

Sidekick (possibly htc) android based!.....

T-Mobile just confirmed a sidekick 4G android device will be coming in the next few months
http://www.gizmocrunch.com/android/4841-samsung-galaxy-4g-htc-sidekick-t-mobile
It sounds interesting, I have had a sidekick before and the design is hot imo however the software (danger OS) was terrible the market had no apps compare to android.
So what you guys think about this? Do you see potential in the device since its android afterall, and don't come comment things like "its a teenager phone" because I've seen old people with it before LOL

the only thing I see not making me excited is the possibility that htc won't be making it, we all know that the best processors are currently made by htc and samsung, and I only buy htc phones! lol
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App

When the Sidekick was released, apps were not an issue, it was never really an issue. In fact, I am sure that it decline because the iPhone was a smartphone that didn't feel like you were carrying around a brick. I had the Sidekick 3 which was released in 2006, it was heavy, but it was a pretty cool phone despite the fact it was not exactly portable.
Also, neither Samsung or HTC will make the next Sidekick (lack of involvement with the brand is one reason). Most likely it will be either Sharp or Motorola. Leaning towards Sharp because they didn't have issues with their Sidekick versions.
Fun fact, the guy behind Android founded Danger Inc.

I had the Sidekick 08 from launch all the way up until a couple months ago when I purchased the myTouch 4g. I enjoyed the phone while I had it, never had any problems with it(except for the whole data loss incident). I got the MT4G because the sidekick had been worn out over the past years, but it was a good phone

If htc ain't making than no sidekick for me lmao but we still don't know for sure any one could make this new sidekick we'll see!

This is awesome news!!
I had the latest sidekick Lx and I loved it, still love that keyboard for texting, i miss it ):

Do you all think they will have still have that flip screen.
I recently had to use one and let me tell you i hated every minute of it.
See I like a lot of people text when we arent suppose to. Having to flip that screen everytime to send a text was painful. I really dont see how kids get away with texting in class.

Know?
Droid X performs tons of HTC devices. And that's a Motorola. Droid X is about equal to the MT4g in power.
I hope Samsung makes the Sidekick. Super AMOLED FTW! Plus it's gonna be Andy Rubin's baby. Which means... Stock Android ?! It could be like the Nexus S with a keyboard epic win

Makes sense to me that it would be running android though not only is it the best os in my opinion but the guy who brought you the sidekick UI is now in charge of Google's user experience department. I hope for one hope HTC busts out the sidekick I never owned one and always wanted one, and although Sombionix and Team Whiskey bust out some great roms for my phone I don't think I'll go the Samsung route again.

And your wish just came true stock android and unfortunately (for me ofcourse) its made by samsung! With the super amoled btw no offense I just don't like samsung so I won't buy this new sidekick you will lol

That sounds pretty sweet! Physical kbs are always nice.

Yea I'm not saying its bad its just I like htc better but it looks good for samsung fans at least its better than sharp making the sidekick, and I love that it has a ffc but guess what and this really inffuriates me...... no flash on the cam wtf at this age

I must say, I still love this phone!

I've had this phone since it came out in November and usually me being the tech whore that I am would get bored really quick and lust for the next big thing. As of now, I'm still loving this phone. I've rooted, on CM7, configured my screens the way I like it and sometimes I notice me touching and holding the phone just for the sake of it. Could this finally be love?? I feel like I just found a great girl and stopped going out trying to get with club chicks. lol!
Even when I go to the tech sites and checking out the new phones coming out in Barcelona, I'm like meh, I got a good "girl" at home, I'm not lusting after them. Damn, I must be getting old! hahahaha!

Yeah I said the same thing. Why did sense have so many features from espresso with the sliding bars and such only phone I even consider was the desire s cause it reminded me of the nexus one.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

i share the same love as u guys. it's simple, the device meets our needs for an internet phone, and more, once rooted. how can u not fall in love with it? if u get a fully functional one, i mean.

I love this phone too! No other phone can compare yet. I'm like you, I always go for the newest toy but I've been holding on. However, the Optimus 2x might win me over.

Normally I am looking for a new phone by now (always like the latest tech) but not so much with this phone. It might take the next mytouch to get me away from my current one. I've said this many times, this phone just works.

Same here, I've changed phones a lot recently, jumping on the newest one out. At this point though, I'm acknowledging more that this phone can do pretty much everything the newest ones out can do.
About dual cores, I say "Eh.." Higher megapixel camera? Eh.. NFC? That won't be useful until maybe late this year.
Until something groundbreaking comes out that this phone can't do or do well, I'm sticking with it.

Yeah, this phone is rockin'. Even a lot of the newer phones being announced are still below spec compared to this phone - even more so when rooted, devoid of bloat, and OCed. It'll probably take a year before this thing is made "obsolete." This and the HTC Thunderbolt are the most exciting phones right now IMO.

agreed. im so happy i got to own a good one in the end. it freakin flyes.

i love my phone....

I agree 100%. My wife often tells me I'm cheating on her with my phone, my on reply is, "Sorry babe it's the other way around, I'm cheating on my phone with you." Drives her nuts. I gave her my Vibrant and traded my HD7 to get the myTouch, and I'm not getting rid of "her" anytime soon...

As a hd7/windows phone 7 user, i say go for it
it is a great phone and much more than 2 screens and you will love the experience with it vs android
and the social networking aspect of wp7 is definitely much better then what android has to offer(unless u get a blur device)
most ppl saying no to the hd7 are biased towards android
and if it's too big, that's why they have different variations of phones

I was holding out getting the mt4g for a long time because I knew there was something better right around the corner (isn't there aways something right around the corner hah). Once I heard the rumors of the optimus 2x coming to tmobile, u knew u was right to wait. But then tmobile ran the free mt4g promotion last week. It was too good a deal to pass up, so I jumped on it. No regrets.

Win7 Phone OS is just plain boring to me coming from android there's no customization you can actually do maybe if we give the OS a year or so they'll be able to step it up and listen to the community. I get the feeling Win7 users are mostly coming from BBs.

Hmmmmmm, has anyone upgraded from a HD2?
I had a HD7 and it's just sad. No ability to customze anything.
So, I kept my HD2. I install ROMs as often as I change clothes. But, it is getting old.
I really want a Robot native device that performs well and has 4G capability.
The wife has a Vibrant and holly crap. That thing is the bigest pile of crap. I feel bad that I got it for her. It's slow, the XDA Support sucks since no one really seems to like it.
I been seeing the MyTouch 4g and it seems intersting.

I'm thinking the "doubleshot" that was rumored the other day is going to be a new mytouch. maybe a mytouch slide since the first was espresso..think "I'll have a double shot of espresso" Some say the doubleshot is going to have dual screens.. others think it's because it's dual processor. I read also that the doubleshot is the pyramid just renamed... I kinda think though it will be the next mytouch slide.

Ill def be getting one for sure, I have 4.3" screen envy

yeah but now I have noticed those ads are now pushing the Samsung 4g.

Far as this topic goes they won't call it new myTouch as normally myTouch is heavily TMobile branded device. If you know about project Emerald you would understand what I am talking about and where they are coming from. This is just for them to upgrade the base by mass for long term usage on hardware/software platform. When you have device that is heavily depends on the brand it sticks for sometime. Will TMo have new device? Sure they will will HTC be still top dominate? Sure they will be but they won't be TMobile branded directly.

i really hope they just let htc design the look. they always have to make their phones ugly. i feel like they designed it for kids.

Yes, I love the mytouch but hate the fact that it looks like ****. The front looks ok, but the back is just ****ing horrible. HTC does know how to make really nice phones, I love the way the nexus one looks. The speaker grill is ****ing ugly as **** as well. Ugh

I do believe that the double shot will be the new mytouch but in slider form. 1st was Mytouch, then Mytouch Slide, then MT4G, So it seems like every 6 months or so there will be a new mytouch, keyboard and non keyboard version.
Just my thoughts,

I actually like the design of the Mytouch
it doesn't look like any other phone on the market right now that i can think of
i am hoping that it might not be a slider form because that doesn't sound like something major to really announce.
Hopefully it is something better. And is it sure that the pyramid is an Android device? Is there any chance it could be a Windows device or is it confirmed to be Android?

@carmen:
At this point, only rumors exist about the Pyramid. One of those rumors is that it will be running Android 2.3 (Gingerbread). The phone is expected to be publicly announced at this year's CTIA, scheduled to take place in about a week.
While I like the design of MT4G (I like it, but don't LOVE it), it lacks the upscale/professional form factor of the Evo/Thunderbolt/Inspire 4G/Desire HD. If the Pyramid will have that form factor, I am a first day buyer.

any idea how sprints 3g is compared to tmo's "4g"? i get edge at home on tmo. but sprint has me completely covered on 3g,no 4g yet. just wondering if anyone has any experience with sprint 3g. i think it's time for me to jump ship. i love tmo, and their latest selection of phones. but i think i'm gonna take the plunge early. at least they give you 30 days to cancel which is great. i'll just go back to tmo em+ if i have to.

Sprint's 3G is slow!!!!!!!!!! I never got above 2mb in a year of owning an EVO...Now 4g was always fast...when you could actually stay connected

I'm leaving with him and paying the damn cancellation fee.evo here I come.

As a former Evo owner (favorite phone ever once Sense is gone), I had to try out the Sensation and the Evo 3D and I finally got a chance to use them both for an extended period today. I can definitely say the grass isn't always greener. I experienced pretty much the same things everyone else has said: the screens are very washed out and both devices are slower than the G2x in pretty much every way. The 3D feature is barely worth writing about as it simply causes a headache. If you're looking for 3D, buy a 3DS instead.
With that said, the Evo 3D is produced by a company that actually pretends to care about most of the devices they release and their consumers, it will have tons of development once the bootloader is unlocked, and in the case of Sprint, they seem to be pretty much on point when it comes to releasing updates. If you can deal with the lame screen, you get good Sprint reception, and can wait for the bootloader to be unlocked, you can't go wrong with a 3D. I believe the G2x to be the better device when it's actually working, but I doubt T-Mo or LG will ever mention it again after the fabled Gingerbread release occurs.

I own both. Your so wrong. I don't even believe you. Not to be rude.
Look at what device my first post was on. Now look at this one.

Besides sprint vs tmo depends on location.
In highlands ranch CO I get just as good speeds on sprints 3g as I do on tmo s 4g.

Well, those are just my thoughts and opinions on the devices. You don't have to believe me if you don't want to, but I have no reason to come here and make up a story. I have service from both Sprint (still have my Evo) and T-Mobile and could easily get any of the other two phones for my personal use. At work today I carried around my own G2x and a borrowed Sensation and 3D for around 9 hours and came to the conclusions I mentioned above.
Edit: I should have said former Evo USER in my initial post.

There is no doubt in my mind that the my G2X is definitely faster when it comes to flying around the UI and playing some games but to say it's faster in pretty much every way is completely false. Over the last two weeks I have done numerous tests with the browsers, apps and games. I use the same apps and have played the same games on both phones every day. I can say without a doubt that the Sensation does interact with apps a little bit faster. Google Maps is where it's very noticeable as it will load the map as you scroll about twice as fast as it does on my G2X.
When it comes to the browser, I can't really pick a clear winner here. Some websites get loaded faster on the G2X and others load faster on the Sensation.
When it comes to the games I play, Dungeon Defenders and Angry Birds run about the same on both devices,Riptide GP obviously runs better on the G2X but the game I play most, almost religiously (Homerun Battle 3D) runs smoother and looks better on the Sensation.
If you want, I can show you some video comparisons of the games I listed. Obviously I can't do them side by side due to my hand restriction but you will still be able to get the picture.
By the way, it depends on what display you get with your Sensation. Currently there are 3 available. The nicer Sharp display does not wash out like the others and is almost as vibrant as a Super AMOLED. The better Sharp also has a better contrast, just not quite as good as my G2X. It definitely performs better in direct sunlight than my G2X.

In Baltimore, MD. Both providers have there so called 4G networks. I never see my friends with Sprint go over 4mb/s but I am constantly pulling 8mb/s with 2mb/s upload speeds.
