HTC Mytouch 4th or HD7?

I keep, saying HD7 then I see the mytouch and get impressed, I don't want to take a chance, how can I be so sure that Microsoft will provide the updates that they are promising? I am still very in the middle, I have never really hated Android, I just don't like devices with 2.1 and below... so? HD7 or MyTouch 4g?

What do you mean 2.1 and below? The MyTouch 4G is coming with 2.2.

I know, I am just saying that Android 2.1 and below is what isn't great, 2.2 and up is

man i seen the my touch HD today in orlando and played around with it.... OMFG all i can say... right now im just like F wm7 but my mom getting the HD7 so im going to play around with it. but the my touch hd was freaking beautiful, the cam was amazing, the second Gen snapdragon made that phone speed threw app, the front facing cam was hella clear, the 4g didnt test that out but the phone was just freaking sweeetttttt.... its running driod 2.2 im not a big fan of driod at all so that a really big no no on my end...
The wm7 os looks really clean so im really undecided, the my touch HD spec, and what it offer win me over... so im like ugh

I'm with you, I want to give WP7 a chance. But MSFT has failed for so long it's hard to trust them now. I love the HD2, and the only thing that was missing from it physically for me was the camera button. Both phones have the camera button, I don't like not having a dedicated phone button though.
I already have the reps at my store holding a MT4G for me on Weds. Can't wait to take advantage of the 14 day return policy. If I don't like it I will return it, buy the HD7 and try that out.

As far as getting updates from Microsoft the hd2 has had two updates pushed out while the most amount for an android on tmo is 1 so Microsoft is doing updates its just really a matter of can you deal with it until they do launch the updates for consumer's.

It's not that they won't release updates with what I want, its how long I have to wait... by next year we could have a dual core wp7 device running the latest build... also I am scared that developers might not care for the platform. Rovio even said it themselves, they have no plans for WP7, no Angry Birds for a loooooooong time...

honestly go with the MT4G, better CPU, and GPU, 700plus mbs of ram 4g, it just an all around nice device WM7 need sometime to kick it in high gear... i feel like it going to be like the iphone, phone after phone... until they find the right specs...

dude! seriously???

Don't hold your breath for the hd7. Wait til you see what features microsoft has stripped from the phone to make it "faster"... It'll be another hd2... Paper weight...

WP7 is still new. You have to look at it as a developer's point of view. Rovio first developed for iPhone, then Android after it became more popular, and then they will probably develop for the WP7 if it ever gets popular. As of now, the money making markets are iOS and Android.
I wouldn't worry about how long it'll take for Microsoft to update their phones. Unlike Android, it's just like the iPhone, meaning every phone will have similar hardware so updates will be coming out much faster. With Android, Google releases the update -> Manufacturers do their thing -> Carriers then do their thing to if they want to -> Now the consumers get the update. With Microsoft, it'll be directly from them just as how Google supported the Nexus One.
Anyways, I would say stick with Android unless you don't mind being an early adopter for WP7.

If you want a windows 7 laggy phone with a 1st gen processor compared to a 2nd gen, and less memory. Then go for it... if you want an android phone that has a really nice Sense UI and will have lots of development for it in the future as far as rooting and ROM'S, get the MyTouch 4G

The hd7 isn't laggy. It works quite well, and the media player is far superior to anything android is offering. However, it is CLEARLY a work in progress. For this reason, steer clear for now. Give it a year.

I beg to differ about the hd7. I just got done playing with it and all I can say is just NICE. The devise is really nice, built quality and screen. Switching through is very fast and smooth. The only downside, not an andriod phone

The HD7 hardware is already outdated and it's 1st gen OS. Sure, the media player is nice. MS has been in that game for a while now (WMP and Zune). The source is totally closed, though. In my book, I wouldn't go near it until v2 of the OS is out. Even then, if you like to mod like I do, go with the MT4.

I have been waiting for the MT4G as I had a free upgrade and went to my local t-mobile store to compare it with my current Vibrant. I was totally disappointed to see how laggy it was while web browsing. Also noticed the screen response to be really poor as compared to the vibrant as I sometimes had to touch the screen multiple times to get a result. So does my experience alone make the MT4G a piece of crap? Also if you check out reviews whether from professional sites or users, the WP7 being laggy has never been mentioned.
I can understand if you said well the HD7 doesn't have a FFC or no HSPA+ or no tethering option or no flash player then I could understand and agree, but WP7 being laggy? That's a first. To those who are on the fence, asking others for their opinion about MT4G vs HD7 in a MT4G forum will more than often get a biased response and vice versa. Best thing is to go to a store and check it out for yourself. Even if you have to buy it I'm sure you can return it if you think the WP7 is not for you.

I went in the store today and played with an HD7, it was a nice device. MSFT lost me forever though (unless they give me a free phone). Netflix is a pimp feature, I wish I had that on my MT4G. But that is about the only up I give it.
Funny thing though. I logged into my NF account, and couldn't log out. So I put the phone in bootloader mode so no one could use my account until I got back to change the password.
As I put it in BL, an alarm started going off. I thought it was something else til the guy came up to me and asked what I was doing. "I don't know I was just pushing buttons and this screen popped up". He told me he had to let the phone die and reboot it cause the battery was glued in. I liked that it gave me plenty of time to change the password.

Okkkk so I was at tmobile first thing monday morning to get the HD7! last night I went ahead and exchanged if for a sexy plum MT4G!
Honestly using the HD7 was like using the iphone 2g again there is absotuley no multitasking....so for example if u leave ur instant messenger app to go text....it logs u completely out....if u leave slacker radio to text....slacker radio stops playing and u have to start all over when u go back...u never know when u have twitter new mentions or messages causes there's no notifications.....the camara button is down on the side where u hold the phone while ur talking on it so when Im taking a call I'm also taking 10 to 15 pics....there's others but ill stop here oh yea and no copy and paste (just like the first iphone lol)
And the biggest dissapoinment is....it wouldnt let me copy and drag files from my linux ubuntu 10.10...even on my windows 7 u have to download zune software....like it doesn't even find the phone when u plug it in....seriously its like the iphone wanna be....
But the screen, size, and keyboard is amazing
But being an iphone user then going over to android...i have to say I can't go back to no multitasking.....wp7 is a couple years behind as of right now...i would give a year or 2 lol when the software has matured and also the marketplace!
I went from a nexus one to a vibrant back to nexus one to a G2 back to a nexus one to a HD7 to a MT4G and absolutely adore this phone right out the box....DEF TAKE ADVANTAGE of tmo buyers remorse GOOD LUCK

What do you guys think of the look of the MT4G? Ppl said it looks kinda like for kids. Do you guys think it's sleek and professional? Im kinda skeptical about if i went out and get the MT4G and ppl think im using a kiddie phone.

My thoughts, I played with one yesterday in the store. It is nice, screen is nice and did not feel laggy, the screen scrolling was the smoothest I have seen.
But I agree with most of the other people as my choice was for th MT4G. One big issue is, MS and closed source. None of the WM apps for 6.5 will work on it and there are very few new apps available right now. This with old generation processor and less memory and potential for good ole Windows freezes and having to reboot is a good reason to give the HD7 a pass and I did.

After my HD2 I wont be touching another wm phone. The app store was bad with the 6.5 wm. The fact that those old apps wont even work on wm7. Is enough for me to stay far.
P.s. I admit I am intrigued by the xbl connection though. But the hd2 soured me to the point of no return.

Everyone has different opinions. As long as you are happy with the way it looks and performs, who cares?

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

Switched to the g2x

Bye. My touch 4g, it's been almost a year, we had an awesome run, and your still one of my favorites, but Ive moved on to the g2x, and I haven't had any of the problems other are experiencing , this is a pretty awesome phone and I don't regret it, but if a new mytouch from HTC comes out ill be sure to go with that, until then ill be rocking the g2x.

That is one of the phones I am contemplating jumping ship for, how is LGs UI? You'll have to give a small review if you don't mind. Not sure if I want to go G2X or Sensation. Never owned an LG but I loooove HTC. Either way, good luck with the new phone.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

Thanks guys, as for the phone itself its awesome I'm running bionix2, so I didn't really get accustomed to the stock UI, the screen itself is larger so typing is easier, and the colors seem allot deeper, I do miss my led notification light but that can be replaced with mods to the capasitive buttons (someone will come up with that), and the sensation is actually running a older processor arm a8 clocked at 1.2ghz vs the g2x arm a9 processer at 1ghz, so its actually better to get the g2x, I haven't had any problems and the update will fix any bugs, and by the time the sensation comes out the update will be released so either way I'm good.

I've been thinking of doing the same. I'm so fed up with HTC's lack of quality control that I've been looking at picking up a used Vibrant.
I love this device but after 7 phones, FINALLY getting a perfect phone and now a few months later having dust under the screen the romance is gone.
Let us know how it goes with the g2x. Maybe when the sensation comes out I'll give HTC another chance.

I feel EXACTLY the same way. Took my 5 phones to get to my perfect good screen then one month later dust under the top left corner of my screen.... And it's just getting worse. I love HTC but they quality control is horrendous. I don't care what people say about Samsung and their quality, but they make damn god phone's whether it's plastic or not. I've been trying to trade my phone for a Nexus S just because of this.

No problems here...
This is very interesting to read the users on this forum have exchanged their MT4G seven times. I have had absolutely no problems with my phone and I purchased it when it was released.

I got mine when it came out and it has the crap screen, but that was the only problem. But a few weeks ago i got a deal on one i couldn't pass on,with the good screen. I might sell that one, but i got a bad habit of keeping all my phones. Lol

I agree with the OP too, don't get the sensation. The CPU in it is actually outdated and QualComm already has a Quad-Core CPU in the works. Go with a Mali device or Tegra 2/3 .

G2x is quality control isn't that good either. My G2x has the worst LCD I've ever seen. It bleeds from all 4 corners and the battery only last 8 hours. I am running my own aosp rom.

So definitely no Samsung products for you, since they make more differentiating products than any manufacturer. The G2x is having problems, just go look at their forums, but a patch is coming out soon that should alleviate the problems, except for the LCD bleeding.
I have to say, a ton of LG Optimus Ts get sold I have never had to do troubleshooting on one. I would say most calls are about HTC or Motorola products. In my own personal experience of troubleshooting, I'd say the manufacturers that make many different products seem to have the least problem phones, when compared to the phone only manufacturers.

You are correct. I would not own a samsung phone either...they should stick with televisions. Also, look at the time the G2X came out. To think that it was worth upgrading from the glacier with the next wave of great phones coming out shortly is just silly.

The people with a good G2x, which is most, absolutely love their phone and the patch should fix the rest. Remember HTC made the HD2 and Motorola made the Cliq & Cliq XT. I cringe when I hear someone having a problem and I know exactly which line has the problem because one of the 3 phones above are the culprit. 1
Even with the G2x issues, LG and Samsung have a better track record than Motorola and HTC is problems with phones.

That may be true, they may love their phones. But to buy the G2X when the next big wave is about to come out makes no sense to me whatsoever. It is like purchasing a 2010 Ferrari a month before the 2011 comes out. (I use that example because smart phones are usually the same price, and that is a car where the price is not an issue). And as for the quality issue, I have never had an issue whatsoever with an HTC phone. I am a firm believer that 99% of the issues are user related. Like the guy who had 7 Mt4G's that wouldn't wake up on the stock ROM..c'mon now..

I loved HTC until recently. Had a flawless mt3g for almost a year and sold it for exactly what I paid for it. Here's the history with my glaciers.
1. Dust under screen.
2. Mushy power button and bad screen.
3. Bad screen.
4. Loud click from bottom.
5. Less loud click.
6. Keeper.
Three months later I have massive dust under screen.
7. Bad screen.
8. Mushy power button, scuffed up, bad emmc chip.
9. Bad screen.
At this point I gave up. I'm staying with #6 and shopping for a used Vibrant.

Like I said, you may be right. Maybe I just got lucky to get a good phone. I have had absolutely no issues. Good screen, good emmc chip, no dust under screen. I just associate LG with crappy products. I still would have waited for the Sensation.

What phones are coming out that outdo it? The G2x will get 2.3 very soon and has a tegra 2 processor that won't be outdone by the Sensation's chip. It may be faster processing speed(200Mhz) but many think the Tegra 2 processor is still faster than the Qualcomm.
You'll choose the Sensation if you want a 4.3" screen and the G2x if you want a 4" screen. They're made for different people, with speed and abilities being pretty well equal. The next jump won't happen until this fall with the quad-core processors.

The Inspire was such a terrible phone...

That I'm now buying an iPhone 5. I was an original iPhone guy, but went when they went glass to the Aria...then the Inspire...and the Inspire is quite possibly the worst phone ever. No ROMs can help it. Complete garbage. Anyone else done with Android or jumping ship over the Inspire's terribleness?

I might be able to see why you would show discontent with the Inspire. I personally think its the battery life, weight, and lack of front camera that brings it down. Although I've played with iPhones in the past, and I can't consider this this being close the worst phone. I can still make it last for a day with above moderate usage, and have grown accustomed to the weight. More than enough to make me satisfy the whole contract, which has about half a year longer. Can you go a bit more detailed in why you hate it?

it's funny I was just telling my boy the other day how this is best phone I've ever had! 2 years and still going strong...i like the weight.

I couldn't agree any more with you DPLOY. I love this phone. It doesn't feel flimsy, has plenty of processing speed and does pretty much anything you could want. That and I like playing with different ROMs all of the time.

Haven't you had this phone since it came out basically? I don't believe you for a second

It's the best phone I've ever had. Like the construction, the way it feels in my hand and the heft. When I drop it in the cargo pocket on my pants I keep having to check and make sure it's there, so the weight can't be that bad. I did my homework before I got it and knew the battery was on the small side, so I'm not going to complain that I have to plug it in once or twice a day.
And ROMs? Kept it on stock Sense for a couple of months, then rooted and flashed CM7. Since then I've gone to Ice Cold Sandwich and am now running JellyTime. Each one has been better than the last. And my ancient single-core Inspire is still faster, on most tasks, than my friends 4S's. Every time one of them shows me some neato thing on their iPhone I'm reminded again how thoroughly unimpressed I am with Apple's products. It's not that they're bad phones, they're just not all that impressive.
But if my Inspire WAS the worst phone ever, if it went nuts and ate all my personal info, sent all my contacts an F U text message and then caught fire and exploded in my pants pocket it would not be enough to make me send any of my money to Cupertino. Their product is nice, if a little bland, but their business practices are abhorrent.
If I ever get tired of Android (and after a couple of weeks on Jelly Bean I don't see that happening any time soon), Windows 7 is a darn nice OS. And Windows 8 looks even better.
But hey, if you hate it that much, send it to me. One of my boys would be happy to have it.

IMO, the Inspire was the best phone ive ever owned also. I started off with the very first iphone, then the 3g, 3gs, then 4. Basically ive owned every iphone out. Then i decided to try android and fell in love. Started with the captivate, had an atrix, then went to the inspire. I tried other phones also like the infuse, galaxy s2, vivid, and skyrocket and eventually ended up going back to the inspire. This phone runs perfect (smoothness, performance, and battery life) with the right rom, kernel, and radio set up. Only if the inspire had a FFC, thats the only thing the phone lacks..

That I'm now buying an iPhone 5. I was an original iPhone guy, but went when they went glass to the Aria...then the Inspire...and the Inspire is quite possibly the worst phone ever. No ROMs can help it. Complete garbage. Anyone else done with Android or jumping ship over the Inspire's terribleness?

You just have to know what your doing. The iPhone is made for your type so it will probably be the better choice for you. Android is made for people that want to be able to decide what their phone can or can't do, and have the tech knowledge to achieve it. IPhone is garbage and apple is a terrible company that stifles innovation. Iphones only good purpose is to make smart phones accessible to my grandma.

The iphone is basically a simple phone. I believe that the hype behind it is just because the apple name. Coming from the experience of being both iphone and Android owner there is so much more I can do with my android that I could not do with the apple. So in my opinion the apple is just an overpriced useless piece of crap, a suped up ipod thats all. I am completely amazed with my Inspire.

Terrible Phone??? Really?
The Inspire is a terrible phone??? Yet no comments on what made it terrible. Aside from the fact that HTC decided to give the phone a slightly inadequate battery, the phone has been great. For a single core it has been great. Once I got it rooted it was an excellent phone. I love the fact that I have so many options for this phone. If I want apps, music, or videos I can download direct, get from the market, or get from outside sources. With apple you have one choice...itunes...which I can't stand.

Calm down folks. I think we've been had.

I think you're right. I've seen that guy in the inspire forums over a year ago. I remember his avatar, unless someone else is using it.

Me too I know he had a thread (maybe a radio collection thread?) so it couldn't have been that bad.

Good luck with your one key Iphone now I don't know what Rom u are using but my inspire blows away most dual core phones. You have to remember the inspire is great for what it is a single core phone. I much rather have my HTC inspire then that stupid iPhone

Inspire with ICS... a sight for sore eyes. It's a great little phone when you get all of the bloat off of it. I've had mine for two years and now I'm giving it to my girlfriend to replace her iPhone because she's done with Apple and it's lockdown on everything you pay for. I've personally had four different ROMs on it and each had pros and cons. They've all been top notch though... ICS has been the best easily by far (but that probably has something to do with being an completely different operating system than Gingerbread).

You're right... typo!

IMO, one of the best single core phones ever. The amount of ram this phone has. I run Gingerbeast and have a little over 400mb free. This was my first Android, coming from the iPhone 3GS and a 4. I'm never looking back. I've had this baby since release and still love it!
Go enjoy your new toy phone.
