This is the best phone on the market

Hands down, the myTouch 4G is the best phone on the market. What do you guys think?

I think I'm going to agree with your statement, at least for the 25 hours I've had it. Too bad there's so much bloatware, but the hardware sure is great!

You like it better than your G2?

dont know about best phone. It def is the best consumer (non geek) based phone on the market at this point. I think it will sell well for people looking to get a good phone thats not attached to ATT

You're right. For openness, the Nexus One is still hands down the best. You can install ANYTHING onto it. For everyday use however, this one beats out my Vibrant I think (esp. with its GPS issue).

dont forget Samsungs great software support. They nail the hardware but cant keep up with updates and fixes (see that issue and the crazy Froyo delay)
I want to get excited about this upcoming samsung event but im constantly reminded how piss poor of a job they do with their software

Oh yeah, I like it a lot more than my G2. Not sure how to explain it, but the G2 seems "boring". Not much really going on with it. Besides stock android it's really just like any other android phone out there, and the hinge just feels poorly made. The myTouch 4G has everything: sleek thin design, superb build quality, customizable LED notification light, 3mp ffc for video chat, very good hardware, the great HTC Sense "feel", hardware buttons feel better than capacitive buttons, hot swappable SD card etc. I really don't have anything to complain about.
This phone makes the G2 just feel old, its weird. I didn't realize how great HTC Sense was until I used crapwiz and stock android for so long. The built in widgets are just great.

How does the Hardware compare to that of the Galaxy S series? Proc, GPU? I know the clocks are the same but what about the performance?

I feel the same way. I have the Vibrant and love the file system, as well as the 16 GB internal memory, plus the option of a micro sd card for expandabilty. Nothing touches this 16GB internal memory, along with the external option. I have a 16 GB micro sd in it, and it's nice to have the internal memory for swap space, such as backing up, or transferring files to another person's sd card.

i can see that about the G2. Plus if you arent a keyboard fan the mytouch is the way to go.
I for one dont want to keep flipping out the keyboard everytime i need to type something so i would prob end up using the screen

its really unfortunate because they have such a great template to work on (their gpu/proc are top notch) but then fumble it with their inability to provide service
they burned alot of people with that Moment (right?) and then now with the Galaxy line (even the epic is buggy) IMO the only way they correct the issue is by releasing a stock Android device and work with Google on the software

Ditto on the Nexus - especially the open tethering/hot spot since the updates (running a mostly stock ROM). Going to see how far I can get with the MT4G with temporary root before I decide to keep it and eBay the Nexus.

The myTouch 4G has free tethering/mobile hotspot for the meantime until T-Mobile gets their new plans up. It works pretty nicely too.

The PowerVR SGX540 GPUs in the Galaxy S devices destroy everything that's out, including Adreno 205 found in the myTouch 4G and G2.
Performance is excellent though. Applications open up instantly. Right out of the box the myTouch 4G is way faster than the Vibrant.

Screen keyboard is good. I really love the stock android keyboard which this phone doesn't have. But i'm slowly getting used to the HTC Touch Type...the screen has enough room to type without feeling cramped. Camera is pretty nice with tap-to-focus and there's no lag for me personally after the OTA update, like some people are reporting.

This one definately beats out my Vibrant which is now up for sale. Smooooth as heck and the screen is not overly bright like the Vibrant's, but it can be if you want it to. My sister just saw it and I demoed it for her and all she kept saying was "Ohhdeee.."

Stock launcher, I always use the stock launcher on my phones. The on screen keyboard is actually the best I've used, and the haptic feedback is really good aswell; it felt weird on my Vibrant and G2. The phone doesn't lag at all anymore. When I first got it the browser would lag a little bit but the OTA update definitely cleaned everything up.

Nexus s vs captivate

Hi guys Rogers is getting the captivate next week is it worth the switch?

I'd say get it. It has native gingerbread and a front facing camera. And Google support so you know it will get updates on time!

All the great roms on this forum have made my phone enjoyable. If you aren't into flashing custom roms and all that, you probably should take it back. But dont get the nexus s. I'd say wait and se what the xperia arc reviews are like. That should be launching next month. Looks like a nice phone, except the locked bootloader.

Nexus S seems to have a locked bootloader(as mentioned), but another strike against it for me is no card slot: you are essentially stuck with 16GB, which should be enough for most people but it's nice to have to option to expand. Add to that an inability to shoot HD video and a less-flexible camera software and the Captivate still has the edge. You'd be better off holding out for some of the juicier dual-core whizbangs coming out this summer.

Captivate already has GB, through CM7.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
you and many other people need to be corrected (your sig included)
CM7 is NOT stock 2.3.3
it is built off the stock but MODIFIED. it is not stock gingerbread. its is CM's mod of gingerbread.
and on top of that it is still beta.

short answer is captivate is for users and nexus is for developers. the proprietary drivers on galaxy s phones are quite nice with hd video recording and some other things, also like the lockscreens and notification bars that incorperate the music player. but the advantages of samsung software come at a cost. the bluetooth 3.0 driver limits the usefulness, ie very few game controllers work. gingerbread also has obvious performance advantages on the hummingbird chip. but i believe the graphics benchmark in quadrant crashes because the 3d drivers are not designed to work with something in quadrant.
neither is a bad phone for most people, they are both the better looking of the galaxy s series with no iphone like bezels and each has a uniquness. things like hd video are over rated because the sensor isn't quite good enough so 720p recording comes out a little darker, better for a bright day really. and the graphical advantages of the captivate are not important to most because the powervr540 chp is so far ahead of the curve in the first place. run graphical benchmarks on a captivate vs any other phone and you will see better frame rates and the picture quality is far better, but there are many reasons to look at other phones.
the advantages of the nexus are also not make or break, from a user standpoint you would have a hard time coming up with an advantage to gingerbread. it is faster but is the captivate slow? well it can hang briefly in some situations but i was using a live display at bestbuy, it was butter smooth and was still on jf7, no froyo. i think the lag is a myth and total placebo effect perpetuated by reading this forum, the power of suggestion goes a long way. jf6 may have been a buggy rom but the later models are not that bad.
the wp7 htc surround was showing the connect to pc sign, lol even there phones have a bsod equivelant, and the nexus s was locked up, needed a battery pull but that would set off the alarm so they left it that way.
if it comes down to making the decision decide based on feature set and ui. if you like twiz smart dialer feature and sweeping contact menus and music player or if you have a big library of high quality music recodings (cd quality or better) and need all the storage posible then get a cappy, if you like to video chat or prefer an aosp rom or gaming via external controller then go for the nexus.
if i was to make a perfect phone it would be the nexus plus an hdmi port sd expansion slot and twiz dialer contacts and music player and samsung video drivers, i think the nexus looks better but i still envy phones with hdmi and the next generation of samsung phones are supposed to have a wireless equivalent to hdmi, not dlna that only plays files but a wireless link that transfers whats on your screen, this disappoints me because then you need a tv with the technology or a reciever. samsung tries too much to bring new things to the market without supporting old ways of doing things, a phone that can transmit hd but doesnt have hdmi is useless to most people, adding a new technology is great but taking out the world standard just reduces the usefulness. this is what happened with bt 3.0. ok wow it has a new bluetooth version great, but the bluetooth stack doesnt work with popular products on the market, although it is backwards compatable with bt 2.1 it lacks a meathod to pair certain products. not cool samsung! te same will happen to the galaxy s 2 and i would like to see if the infuse has hdmi. if it does i may get the infuse despite the galaxy s 2 being technically better. if no hdmi i will hold on to the cappy till something else comes out that i get excited over, maybe an htc if samsung doesnt get support for drm built into the chipset that is compatable with netflix.

I would wait for something better than the captivate.
The nexus S really isn't much better overall then the captivate, and has some major downsides.
If you just got the captivate and the question is whether to return it, then it depends what you need. For me the deal breaker is no SD card slot, and since I store all my music on my phone, I need the extra storage. The Nexus S on the other hand, has better long-term support, if you consider that google still updates the Nexus 1.

The Captivate has enough problems that I would not buy one again, especially given that it is almost a year old and there are much better, newer phones. That said, I am not in a hurry to upgrade because I already went through the pain of having the TIB replaced and the remaining problems (no front-facing camera, no led indicator, mediocre battery life) are not bad enough to justify blowing a bunch of money before the end of my contract.

I think thats really what it comes down to. Sure the cappy has problems, but most are fixed, all that is left are any hardware you want which it lacks (like a front-facing camera). Under these conditions, the phones on the market right now just aren't appealing enough. We're just starting to see tegra and dual core devices, so certainly waiting a year or more for these devices to become the standard is a good idea. Right now the cappy is a high-end phone, and the dual cores currently aren't much better. Waiting until there is a real difference is key.
I've got a year and a half before I can upgrade, but I know by the time that rolls around, there will be some very good devices on the market. And honestly, captivate development isn't slowing. we're getting 2.3, and it's smooth as butter on our device.

Anyone switch from a Nexus S?

I switched from a nexus s, and I love it. I think the screen is a lot more vivid and colorful then the nexus s. I'm still going to keep the nexus because it will always get the newer os's first, but I haven't touched it since getting the g2x. I would say after using it for a few days, battery life is pretty much comparable,it's about the same. Once we get cm7 on here I'm sure it will just be a that much better
G2X

I wouldn't switch due to waiting for updates...just look at the g2 and don't tell me about LG is different and blah blah..T-Mobile still has to test and choose when to send it out. So I would stick with the Nexus S..unless you have no problem waiting a extra 6 months when ice creams comes out ..

I'm thinking once cyanogen mod works on it I won't even need to worry about updates. It will probably have more active community development I guess. Hardware wise it sounds like a superior device. The Galaxy S II is taking a while to hit the market and the sensation may have a locked bootloader I heard... I like the idea of HDMI mirroring.. Nexus S can't do that.

Well what ever floats your boat then ..

I though about it but i dont like the screen dont care what anyone says it doesn't compare to an OLED panel
BTW my friend has a g2x so ive compared side by side
only 512 ram
no mkv playback this sucks when you have HDMI mirror.
would be perfect to have some nice 1080mkv blu ray movies on phone to mirror to my HD TV
Game are OK but still being stretched out to fit so they get pixelated...
Also only 8gb for main storage
Im waiting for SGS2 international and hopefully i get enough cash
bigger screen samoled PLUS
1.2 ghz dual core Orion
1gb ram
16-32gb storage plus ext SD slot
plays every video and most audio codec under the sun with hardware encoding
HDMI out

I just sold my nexus s on ebay. And I have no regrets. This phone is so much faster and of course I love having a sd card slot. I prefer this form factor over the nexus s. This screen is has better color, more vivid and improved clarity. But the nexus s's blacks are to die for. I also have the thunderbolt and I previously owned the g2, the mytouch 4g, and the samsung vibrant. This is the best phone currently on the market. Hdmi, full 1080p video recording, and dual core processor. The design is simple and elegant. Great phone.
Don't let the 512mb of ram fool you. This baby flies it runs circles around the thunderbolt, which has 768mb ram. Right now, no other phone can rival it's performance. And it's so easy to root, so there should be ample dev support. Yes there may better devices down the line, but that's the nature of technology.

I switched from a nexus s because this device is packed with features I would use that the ns didn't have. To be honest, to me, going from a ns to g2x its more of an upgrade than when I went from a g1 to a vibrant.

I switched from the NS and have not had any second thoughts. Great device, very happy with it.

I switched from a Nexus S. The screen, IMO, is damn near as good as the Nexus S...but not quite as nice. Very close though.
Other than that, it's a huge upgrade. The thing freakin' screams compared to the NS, even an overclocked NS. With CM on it, I'd think there would be no comparison.

My Nexus S is going on Ebay, I'm more than thrilled with the G2X. The screen is sharper, phone is fast (can clearly tell watching beautiful widgets weather animations), and I like the feel and weight of the phone. When CM7 is out, it will be even better.

So I went to the store and played with it. I am going to wait and see what the HTC Sensation looks like on June 8th. Hopefully they will announce launch dates for the Galaxy S II by then also.
The phone was built well.. the screen was pretty nice looking but not as responsive as the Nexus S.
The connection was full bars 4G and it got 1500ish kbps down on my first test and then 3700ish kbps down on a second test. Right next to it my non hspa+ Nexus S pulled down just shy of 5000kbps.
Calls at full volume crackled..
I hope cyanogen and/or LG quickly release Gingerbread offerings for it.

[Q] Nexus S for AT&T

I've been wanting to jump on to the nexus s bandwagon ever since it came out but like always it seems like AT&T is always lacking behind when getting top of the line android phones. Anyhow do you guys think it's worth the money getting the nexus s now? I know the galaxy II is around the corner but I'm not to found of the 4.3' screen I think 4' inches is ideal for me and I know dual core is going to be the next big thing but I see that the humming bird processor does hold up on it's own.
I have a few questions
How is the camera quality? I currently have the iPhone 4 and it does have a nice camera
Is running stock ideal or installing a rom is must to get the best out of the nexus s?
Will all roms work on the i9020a variant phone.?
Is it true that the browser is laggy? And have the reboots problems been fixed?
Where is a good place to buy the nexus s? Lowest price
Sorry for all the questions

I recently purchased the white Nexus S with at&t 3G bands from Negri so far I'm loving it. I also have an iPhone 4 as well. They both have pros and cons. In terms of camera quality the iPhone does win. Pictures are better as well as HD video recording which the Nexus lacks. That aside the Nexus is really a great device that's pure Android. Only place I know where to get it is from Negrielectronics.com for $600.

I've been back and forth with my iPhone 4 and nexus s. I'll tell u this tho:
Camera is better on iPhone, but photos are only marginally better IMHO. The video quality kills the nexus.
Battery life is about the same.
Screen is better on the nexus. Larger and better color

Camera is much better on the iPhone hands down and battery life kills the nexus. The iPhone can easily go a full 24 with heavy use without being charged. The nexus on the other hand can not. I bring my charger to work daily while using it. That aside the nexus is a great device. Just buy it. And the white is sweet.

Is nexus s still relevant

Do you think there will be a new nexus X out in December, like the last two years. Tempted to jump on the free nexus S today but just not sure...doesn't seem that much better than my n1.

Maybe maybe not, but I just got one really like it. I figure I can always sell it on the 2nd hand market and it should retain some value!

I believe so, I got mine days for the evo 3d dropped and could care less about all the checkbox features and some of those beastly phones out there.
This phone works and battery life is great.

Its more relavent than my g2 that i just replaced it with.

As far as i'm concerned, it is definitely still relevant.
I just bought the nexus S (off contract) because my samsung captivate decided to crap out on me and I don't regret it now for one second.
I was eyeing the EVO 3D when it came out up here in Canada but, due to my current situation, couldn't wait long.
I thought of a few points after I bought the Nexus S that made me realize it was the Google phone to get.
a) Much better chance of getting updates from Google with the Nexus S than I would've got with HTC, LG, etc. I learned that the hard with with the captivate.
b) Battery life. On my first full charge and I am over 15hrs with 50% battery life left. I imagine I would never get that kind of battery life on the EVO 3D because of the dual cores, 3d gimmick (can turn off though), and their UI sucking out the battery life very quick.
c) No carrier crap on the phone. (also can be a battery sucker)

Imho, keep your N1 if you don't need a new phone (or contract) right now. If you're due to a new contract/renewing old one later I'd wait until the "Nexus 3" is out some time this year or early '12. If you're just wanting a new phone, I'd wait as well

I love my Ns but my missus just got the Galaxy s 2, and its a BEAST!
Its stupid fast and just seems to take everything u throw at it, live wallpapers that make my Ns lag stay super smooth on the S2. But hey, she will only get 1 or 2 updates to Android at best I recon as opposed the Nexus getting much more. Still the S2 made me think a bit...
I would wait a bit if I were you, the NS dont bring much more to the table than you already have with your N1.

Which live wallpapers make your NxS lag? I tried a few, I only got the fireworks one from the market (Go! devs wallpaper team) to really stress my phone, but it was still fluent (initial drawer opening was not as fast as before though).

Wow NExus S is faraway better than other smartphones.

Nexus s is the worst phone I've ever owned. Had it a week as spare but getting rid at a loss.

I loved my nexus s but it was time to move on. The sensation i have now is just as good with a better cam/video cam

Id go as far as saying a highly tuned galaxy vibrant is a better phone than the nexus s bc of external storage and better camera.

If your happy with running 2.3.1 good luck.there's nothing going for this phone.Disappointed in Google. That's the last time I buy one their phones.The phone ibought will not run properly on 2.36 or ics so had to downgrade.on ics some of my calls were coming in on mute when the volume was on max

Sounds like you had a bad device. Had no issues with mine
