Please recommend a phone to me...

I have had the iphone 2g for a while now and would like to get a new phone... I am on USA Tmobile and would like a touch screen phone which has 3G capabilities (with Tmobile USA)...
I have tried the HD2, but I returned it because of its lack of quality games (especially with that nice Hardware you might think it has some games to work with it, but no -sadly).... I also tried the Nexus One, but I cannot seem to justify it is worth almost $600 especially when the Multitouch is not as good as my old beat up iPhone 2G (the N1 gets confused when you have two fingers on the same axis)....
so now I was thinking about getting a G1, but I cannot find one for under $100 in decent condition... I would like an android phone, or a WM phone capable of a nice android port.... I am not looking to spend too much because it will be a used phone (most likely) and I will probably get another phone next year (hopefully there will be some decent phones which live up to my expectations AND would be compatible with Tmobile USA...
I was thinking of getting a G1 with a cracked screen (but still working fine other than that) for around 60$....do any of you think that is worth it?...I see new screens for $35, and I know the whole LCD is not bad if it still works then it must just be the digitizer so maybe I can get that cheaper....I am pretty sure I can repair it myself, but then again it might be fine enough with the crack since I will change phones anyways....
Any suggestions or recommendations / advice ?
Thanks in advance....

I would say either the Nexus or the Incredible.
The nexus is going to be having a update that makes it run 450% faster (No thats not a typo)
But the incredible is also very very nice. Its really up to you.
EDIT: Do not buy that g1. =)

see the thing is I am looking for a USA Tmobile compatible phone (stated in OP), so Incredible = no go...next I said I tried the nexus one and I do not want it because I cannot stand that it cannot out perform my old iPhone 2g on multitouch (also stated in OP).... so I was looking for something cheap for the time being, until next year or so when some new phone comes out...
Thanks for your suggestions though!....
so on those lines... I think the g1 is my best bet right now....
please advise me with your insights

Uhhh the Incredible is out for the US. (Ive played with one, And i live in Hawaii.)
The nexus one is still fairly new and when Android 2.2 comes out it's probably gonna out perform any HTC phone hands down.
I have a g1 and I love it and i highly suggest. It has never let me down. But it does feel a bit outdated.

see the incredible is not available for GSM networks... so that is where it fails for me because I do not want to switch companies right now at least
now as for the nexus one -it is a hardware problem I am referring to...it has a synaptic multitouch sensor which limits it permanently (no software update will solve this)...therefore I am just waiting for a new iteration of one of those or something new all together (even wm 7 may do...we will see though)
Now so I guess that leaves me with options like the tilt(s), g1, mytouch (I prefer really not to get this though), or the touch pro 2 (overpriced)...
any ideas ? I guess the g1 is the way to go for me ... I may get one with a broken screen, change the screen and the housing and even get a new trackball...it would be clean and would also not be more than about 120 or so....which doesn't seem too bad considering it would be in like new condition (hopefully)....

[Q] how is it, Mytouch 4g owners? tell me please. :)

Hey guys!!!
I'm just wondering what you all think of the mytouch. I played with the g2, and I like it. I like the keyboard, and the screen looks better to me IMO.
However, with gingerbread proally coming out soon (PROBABLY) , that'll slow updates, for the MT right, because of mySense?
I LOVE THE MT4G. LOVELOVE.
I use facebook a lot
I text a lot
I like more customization
i'll probably root, overclock, and flash a custom rom when a lot of them become available.
mySense seems allright!
i consider myself an intermediate to advanced smartphone junky.
What phone should I get, and how do you like it?
I'm also worried that it's been a few months since the g2 came out, and its not even at the front at my TMO store anymore. I don't want to sign a contract and want another one before 3 months.
but the mt4g is! ideally, i wish they would add that g2 keyboard to the mytouch 4g and keep that z-hinge, it seems cool to me.
thanks!
so, should i get it? hows your experiences!? thanks.

its really important, i need a new phone before monday .
cmon guys please. 12 views, noone replies?
i just am deciding if i like mysense, and if its worth losing that amazing keyboard the g2 has. though the screen is only .1 inch bigger, the mytouch screen seems way bigger! i like it in my hand.

Well I have no experience with the MT4G yet as I am gonna get it today. My first decision was to get the G2 but after doing countless research (youtube reviews!) and comparisons of the two, I fell in love with the myTouch over the G2. The hard keyboard of the G2 doesn't really matter to me, the onscreen keyboard is good if not better with Swype. I prefer vanilla android over other UIs but mySense seems to have a lot of interesting tweaks and features that I might enjoy having. If we don't like it then there's rooting of course as I'm sure there will be plenty of roms available soon. The updates are the only thing that have me a bit worried but like I said, rooting the phone might ease the pain of dragging updates by flashing 2.3 roms if available.
Not sure if this might help but its worth noting i think.
Good luck on choosing your next phone!

I've had both the G2 & the MT4G and I'm a lot happier with the MT4G.
The G2 seemed too bricky for my tastes and I really didn't use the hard keyboard to compensate. MySense is not as good as full fledged sense but it's not a huge difference.
I know not too long after gingerbread comes out we'll probably have a Rom to flash it on our phones so updates don't worry me so much.
I think it really comes down to if you want a hard keyboard or a front facing camera. I chose the front facing camera & less bulkiness

maybe because this is the 15th "how do you like your mytouch" "is it better then the g2" thread.
people need to learn how to read before they start typing

I have had the G2 and now the MT4G and although the G2 is a very very good phone I must say that I believe the MT4G is the best all around phone I have ever owned, I also have a Vibrant and a Nexus One at this time but I am going to sell the Nexus One. All of these are Great phones IMO but the G2(hinge issues, connection issues,radio issues)and the Nexus One( touch screen issues at times,signal issues) and the Vibrant(virtually no GPS until just a short time ago, lags etc.signal issues) do not seem to compare with the all stability of the MT4G of which the only issue I have found was a slight glitch in MMS messaging which is now covered. All of this is obviously just my opinions but if I had to go with just 1 phone right now it would be the MT4G

The MT4G is T-Mobiles top phone for a reason....

BOO-YA.
I gave up my mint N1 for the MT4G. I know there aren't many ROM's for it yet, and God knows how long it will take to get Amon_RA, but it took a good month before there were ROM's to flash for the N1. With Android 2.3 so close to being released it's just a matter of time before we get a vanilla gingerbread ROM for this device.

The Mytouch is a great handset but after using it for a couple of days I'm not that impressed....I will be selling or trading mine soon...

I just got mine hours ago and am loving it. I got it because I've always wanted a Sense device, and the hardware is second to none (for now)...2nd gen Snapdragon and an outstanding 768MB RAM!

I'm with ya... Came over from an Evo and just can't get used to the hard keys at the bottom instead of the touch-keys. Also experiencing some automatic re-boots (3 in three days) and some text sending problems (I already turned of the Teklia). If the Evo had been a GSM phone, I would have brought it to TMO (sprint really sucks in this town). I'm looking for a GSM Evo-clone! My only other choice will be ATT in about a month when they come to town, but they don't have any decent androids yet (sorry, the samsung captivate just doesn't do it for me... the touch screen is terrible)

Nexus One owner who absolutely loves the My Touch 4G. Will always keep the N1 for the almost instant upgrades but the hardware on this My Touch is 2nd to none. This phone has it all and it all works. I'm getting use to this non vanilla Android for lack of a better word but using Launcher Pro this thing is dynamite. Best phone to date besides the Nexus One of course. Seriously the My Touch 4G is probably the best phone I have ever owned. The Nexus One will always be my go to phone, I'm just always drawned to that thing.
PS
The HSPA+ was just flipped on in my town. Live in a suburb outside Boston and getting between 3.5 to 5.5 Mbps on download and 1.5 on upload. I was usually getting around 900-950 kbps on the download. What a major diifference and these speeds are in my town and most surrounding towns. T-Mobile is killing this area with their great network. I am in freaken heaven. Thank You T-Mobile.
Those speeds are on my Nexus One. My Touch 4G is higher.

I had the EVO for almost a month (trial period). While I agree the bigger screen is great, it seems a little more washed out, maybe due to the fact that the same resolution is now scretched to accomedate a 4.3'' screen. The capacitive buttons on the bottom was a wash for me. I find myself accidently hitting them sometimes. I much prefer the physical keys. Battery life on the MT4G is much better. I could never manage to squeeze 10 hours from the EVO (moderate use). So, I chose the MT4G over the EVO. The only thing I did like about the EVO was the original SENSEUI on it, Tmobile's version is a little sloppy. Just my experience and opinion.

Your device is clearly defective, get a warranty exchange. That, or your lying.

LOVE the hardware, but don't like Sense. Waiting for CM6 to come out. You could always pick up a used Nexus or Vibrant for $300 or so. Or buy this one from T-mo for $450 ish without contract and then trade up later if you really want...

[Q] Nexus S or Desire HD, what would you choose?

Hi All.
First sorry in advance if this is the incorrect forum.
I really can't make up my mind what handset to go for, and I'm wondering if you guys can point me in the right direction...
Argh, they both seem like very good handsets!
Nice screen or 720p recording,
Gingerbread or FM Radio,
Sense UI or clean stock,
Gyro or DOH!!!

IMHO just get whatever has the best battery life. Theyre both great and Xda will have what u need in software for either
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk

It honestly just depends on you.
Think about what options you would use more and go from there.
I picked the Nexus S for 3 reasons.
1. AMOLED LCD
2.Direct updates from google
3. Quality
Sure 720p recording would have been nice and I'm not sure why it wasn't included, but the question for me was how often do you really record video ? Not often enough. But I do stare at the LCD screen for oh about 3 hours a day.
Both are great phones, the Nexus S is a tad bit more powerful.
You can't go wrong with ether phone but I'd personally choose the nexus S. ( Hence why I own one. This was my exact dilemma) ( well Nexus S or Inspire 4g)

Thanks guys!
I think the Nexus S it is then.

adding to the list, i'd like the nexus more co's of the front facing camera.

Nexus S of course
Desire HD is not even a comparison

This is like deja vu for me...lol.
Its the exact choice i was faced with back in december before i got my nexus. I was soooo close to going with the desire hd. But i didnt obviously.
The main single reason i picked the nexus s? Get ready for it....
Battery! Yep, i really wanted the desire hd as im a big htc/sense ui fan when it comes to smartphones. I had the hero as my previous android. Still got it around somewhere. But anyway, the 1230 mah battery totally put me off. Coming from the hero i knew how power hungry android and htc handsets were.
I mean, come on...a 4.3 inch super lcd running android with only 1230 mah battery? I just read around and came to the decision to go with the nexus s.
In terms of general performance, from what ive read and seen, both phones are more or less equal in the power and speed department. Apart from the gpu that is! Nexus takes it in that department quite comfortably, but i dont really care that much about that.
Ive come to the conclusion that complex 3d games on touchscreen smartphones just doesnt really do it for me. Always too awkward.
I really wanted the desire hd... oh well.

that's a 50% / 50% split i'll say
the main reason is because the SNS is pretty bare-bone feature wise, compared to the other choices out in the market

That was my 2 choices too. Went with Nexus S for 3 reasons 1) battery life 2) SAMOLED and 3) Google updates. Front camera was a bonus.

Yeah, I used to have the original Desire before my iPhone 4 and I loved the oled screen.
It's a shame HTC have replaced it with bog standard LCD displays.
Anyway, iPhone 4 has been sold... I'm coming back to Android!!! Whooo

How much did you sell your iPhone 4 for? I need to put mine up on Craigslist or Kijiji when i have time.

Checked out both Saturday just gone, NS won, I am really pleased with mine. Really pleased. Finding new stuff out all the time and coming from the Hero its just a completely different class of phone.

I got about £480, network locked to Orange. Sold on the Amazon market place.

Hi again.
Picked up my SNS today from Carphone Warehouse in my lunch break.
Very nice, trouble is I want to play with it now... Damn, roll on home time

What's next?

What's the next phone after the captivate that's going to get a lot of dev attention? It seems like the Inspire and the Atrix aren't getting much, likely due to how hard it is to load ROMs. Is it just a matter of wait and see to know what the next well-developed AT&T Android phone is?

most likely whatever the next samsung phone is, if only because they don't bother with trying to lock them down

As it gets more defined I see it getting harder to load up custom roms for android. Ok maybe not harder but a longer flash process. I would say the next would be the next great HTC that comes out. A few have already moved from the Captivate to the Inspire and swear to leave Samsung alone lol

I do feel like HTC has the most support among enthusiasts, but it's hard to tell. Aren't the next Sony Ericson devices going to have non locked bootloaders purposely? If any of those hit AT&T, then I feel like those are going to be hot phones to develop for, since they have bloated software, unlocked bootloaders, and a lot of hardware. Or am I totally on the wrong track?
That, and when AT&T eats up T-Mo, we should have a lot more phones, since the MT, Sidekick and G series phones will be rolled into the AT&T portfolio.

Personally ive had such bad experiences with sony devices of all shapes and sizes (computers, phones, home entertainment equipment) that i would buy a locked bootloader motorola phone before i would buy from sony again. that being said. ill probably go for the next great samsung phone, probably the galaxyS 2.

Many of our great Cappy devs moved to the Inspire(adamholden, di11i, DG)

Personally I picked up an Inspire but mainly out of boredom, I even flash my cappy more now, lol. As soon as the sgs2 is out for a few weeks ill be grabbing that too. It'll be a pricey move but with the way Samsung has taken care of those customers I see it as a good investment.

I'd stick with Samsung for a few reasons:
-Their hardware is top-of-the-line
-There are minimal lockdowns and restrictions to functionality and development
-Their build quality isn't terrible (they use Gorilla Glass and hard plastic, etc.)
-Their software has drastically improved (launcher aside, TouchWiz is pretty cool)
-Their video drivers are the only ones with h/w acceleration of tons of video and audio formats, and their MFC has support for containers such as MKV
-You can find really good deals on upgrades to phones like the Captivate

Samsung just released benchmark figures over 3000 for the SGS2. I truly hope AT&T get it before the end of the year

Top of the line hardware? Yeah, right. Samsung's hardware is decent, I love the form factor of the Captivate, but the build quality and RF are definitely a mixed bag. Some big ups, and some big downs.
I would agree about the lockdowns, however, they are a lot more open than Motorola about it.

With Gingerbread source code released, I'm happy with my Captivate for a good while longer. There are still 2.2.1 roms I haven't flashed yet. I dont think I'll be moving on anytime soon

not sure what the next will be with the 4g galaxy s line being more diverse and the galaxy s 2 not being available on contract yet.
also i think the atrix will get alot but it will come in different forms. some (like me) are holding off for alternaltive before the splurge on an atrix. i want to see what others have to offer in the dual core areana before i open my wallet but very well might get an atrix. there will be kernel modules and patches rather than kernels built from source. also they are working to get full advantage out of the motorola webtop view. using it to launch linux along side android making the accessories almost worth having.

I wanted to love the Atrix because of it's qHD screen in the 4" form factor, but the way its locked up is just bad. I hope that devs are able to get past it, but the other thing that I'm worried about, both on the official update and ROMs side is that they will be worrying about the whole webtop/dock garbage, and that will slow down the actual software development of the device in order to incorporate a bunch of useless features.

I too havn't had good experiences with sony phones. They seem to be turning into the next apple. Barely upgrade their phones and say thats its a whole new phone. (x10/arc)
Definitely want the galaxy s II. that thing's a beast and a half.
So disappointed with the Atrix's smokey screen. It had so much potential!
Has anyone heard anything about the Infuse 4g? it seems so insignificant now.

The Galaxy S II does seem like a cool phone, I'm just a little concerned about the trend towards 4.3" screens. 4" is ginormous enough- can't we just stop there?

Most of them reduce the bezel size so that a larger screen doesn't necessarily mean a way larger device. Take the SGSII for example and you will see that it ain't that much bigger than it's predecessor despite an extra 3 inches in screen size.

[Q] Phone selection...

Hi guys,
My MT3GS suddenly decided to kick the bucket last night, so now I'm just looking around for potential new phones.
I'm considering among mt4gs, sensation, g2, and mt4g. I just want to know how you guys liked the phone, and which phone would be the wiser choice at the end, or if there's other phones I should consider as well.
I thank you all in advance for the advices!

Even tho I like my phone A LOT I suggest u get a sensation
Welcome to the DARKSIDE

This phone(mt4g) is great, but it's limited in some ways. The sensation has an amazing dev section, not saying ours isn't great.
From my fist to your face, enjoy!

get the sensation!!
the MT4G is a GREAT device and all, good devs too.
but the sensation is just better

Because smartphone technology advances so quickly, to me it only makes sense to buy what is currently the latest and greatest. Otherwise, you're starting off already behind. So I'm not sure why the Amaze isn't on your short list, but I'd start there.

maybe its monetary reasons?

That was certainly my reason for getting the MT4G. It was cheaper and better than the HD2 that I had been considering since 2010. It's not that I can't afford to spend $500 on a phone with no contract, but I just don't have a need for it. I'm not a power user. The last cutting-edge phone that I bought brand new was back in 2005.
If you liked the MT3GS, then the MT4GS is the most intuitive upgrade. Otherwise, I would say that it depends on the budget more than anything else.

The sensation XE and XL and the amaze 4g look to be pretty nifty devices, however I feel like I would miss the track pad :\
also if your a samsung fan the galaxy nexus might be a good option (again, no track pad... )

One of the reasons I got the MT4G was the presence of physical buttons. I still like physical buttons without question. I thought the trackpad was a nice bonus when I first got it, but I'm finding that I don't use it that often. I use it for waking up the phone more than anything else, followed by occasional use to scroll the home screens.

I use the track pad while scrolling through and editing text, its nice in clockwork instead of having to use the volume rocker, but mostly i use it when viewing my computer from my phone. Its nice to have the track pad control the mouse, especially with teamview and phonemypc
Edit: +1 about the physical buttons
