I'm rocking the OG G1 but I'm not having fun with the dated hardware. I love Biffmod 2.1 and it really breathed new life but I'd love to get on some new hardware.
The thing is, dual core and all these new devices are around the corner.
Should I wait? My brother in law has a T-Mobile account and I can just jump on it.
MT4G by far the most superior phone today now here is the thing if you are in USA then get MT4G but if you are elsewhere get DHD which share similar spec as MT4G along with 4.3" display but hand to hand with MT4G on benchmark its fried. If DHD-3G was supported in USA I would have got that but I am perfectly happy with MT4G now that I unleashed the beast within.
BTW before you buy MT4G make sure you get the superior screen, best way to do this is:

Also be aware of FFC being off centered if it don't matter also check that the button does not creak and the light does not leak. HTC QC did very bad job with first batch of MT4G so becareful if you are buying used one.
Coming from a G1, I would say the G2 is the logical choice. With dual core phones coming out pretty soon, if I were in your position I would wait.
And what do you need dual core for? lol I use to think like that as I had HD2 7months before it came out in USA and my upgrade would have been dualcore based superphone now thats on startup in CES2011 but MT4G was quick gap and I can clearly see I don't need dualcore and no one avg end user need it. What app will support dual stack? Wait for them to perfect on it as more vendors get in and drive the price down a bit.
I would get the MT4G or G2. Dual cores aren't need with the speed you get with those two phones. Besides you can get G2 free now.
Yeah I perm-rooted my brother in law's Mytouch 4G and then flashed it with Evil's Desire rom, overclocked it to 1.4ghz and that thing is smoking fast. The screen looks amazing and after playing with it, I thought, "Why haven't I heard a lot about this phone?" Everywhere I go, everyone is talking about the iPhone 4 or the Nexus S but when I played with both, I just felt like the MyTouch 4G is snappier.
I have about a day to decide if I want to bite on the MyTouch 4G added to my brother in law's account.
What's the return policy with T-Mobile if I decide I want a different phone?

Was it a Nexus S? Because if so the comparison may be misrepresented. As far as I know iPhones can't really be made that much faster than stock but the Nexus S on the other hand, I'm pretty sure, is able to be overclocked and can probably outperform the overclocked MyTouch 4G. However, if the comparison was between overclocked versions of both phones then I believe you are good to go with your decision of the MyTouch as opposed to the other too.

Care to back up your claims with applicable benchmarks? You obviously lost your mind, as native to native MT4G out runs NS clock per clock frequency. You think Hummingbird vs MSM8255 is even match? lol don't be silly MSM8255 is superior. But NS is superior in graphic I have to give credit where its due. As Adreno 205 GPU is slight by very small margin behind SGX540 GPU also NS has SAMOLED. In the overall quality MT4G takes out NS any days did I also mention NS is made by Samsung? Do I need to say more?

I hate to correct you, but you're wrong.
An over-clocked MyTouch 4G even with T-Mobile rom runs circles around the Nexus S. The GPU is mighty on the Nexus S, but I'd like my phone to be capable of a good strong GPS signal as it will be my primary GPS unit.
The only reason I would remotely consider a Nexus S is vanilla Google experience and Android updates months ahead of competition. But when it comes to hardware, HTC did a much better job making an "Android flagship" than Google's choice and I guess it makes sense that Google doesn't select the same manufacturer year after year to keep manufacturers happy with Android.
Plus after trying out evil's roms, I'm rather confident the developers here at xda will keep a MyTouch 4G up to date.
The only question is whether to bite or wait for the 2011 wave of devices. I know everyone says "What will you need dual core for?" But that's exactly what developers are going to figure out lol. If the power is there, they're going to make applications that will utilize it.

The return policy of T-Mobile is listed below:
The website is support.t-mobile.com/doc/tm21963.xml?related=y&Referring%20Related%20DocID%20List%20Index=..
You have 14 calendar days (30 in CA) from the date of purchase to return purchased equipment to the point of purchase. Equipment must be in good working condition with original contents and packaging to be eligible for a refund of the purchase price. This return policy applies to the purchase of new equipment from T-Mobile or its authorized dealers. Proof of purchase is required. We may charge a restocking fee.
You have never mentioned how long you want to keep the phone for? If it's one year, you can just get a phone now. If you're waiting, you should keep in mind that the dual-cores coming out this first half of the year will probably lag behind (a bit) the dual-cores coming out in the second half of the year.

Hence, the reason I explicitly placed in bold the phrases "As far as I know" and "I'm pretty sure" to emphasize the conjecture in my post. From what I've read, yes the MyTouch can outperform in some tests, however, I have yet to come across anyone claiming that the MyTouch's processor outperforms the Nexus S to the degree that you claim.
I personally would wait for dual core devices myself.
Ya I have to agree with copius in this one, buying dual core now is waste of money as only thing you will win is bragging rights lol but still higher clock frequency so its your call. MT4G 4GB ROM (1.1GB actual) with 2nd gen Snapdragon MSM8255 + Adreno 205 GPU is enough for the MT4G for decent use for another 1-2years by application standard and memory extended service.
But TBH if I was you I would wait 1year to get dual core as I don't trust POS company other than HTC. When HTC drops dual core thats when you know its serious biz lol forget Samsung forget Moto, LG and all. Who controls and dominates the smartphone (new buzz now "superphone") world? Last I checked most flashship device on carriers were still HTC. If you need device now go with MT4G and if you like what you see when CES2011 device hits then drop that on eBay/CL and sell it.

Let me put it this way I got MT4G just 2weeks ago due to my HD2 being stolen. When I was shopping for phones my top 2 pick was MT4G/DHD and NS did not even come in the map. Ill tell you why first of all NS is inferior in hardware capabilities in post 2k10/2k11 spec. Only thing it has going for itself is slightly better GPU and display which does not say much to anyone unless you are trying to win some paper spec war. Due to how memory is allocated and proc is computed MT4G comes superior, how do I know this? I did extended research. Look up my old username and do forum search as it will yield result. Biggest flaw of NS is its made by Samsung which has super history of being a joker vendor in mobile market for not providing anything to users. Also Google have for some silly reason took unofficial stand on NS hardware which is post mid 2010. Don't give me that NS will get updated before blah blah who cares? Thats why we are here on XDA thanks to the dev's. I can go on and on and rip apart the total spec as I did last month why NS is not to be considered any serious match as its just a mockup device on carriers lineup thats all. But hey man go get what you like lol I have yet to see any kid IRL who has ever won a debate with me. If NS was good people would be using it and my sig would say NS not MT4G.

(I know this is a rather flaw way to compare performance) The myTouch scores better on Quadrant in terms of just every category (exception being GPU) with a skin on top of it and an earlier version of Android. When it gets Gingerbread, it will run circles around the Nexus S. Than again, we are comparing first generation (Hummingbird) to second generation (Snapdragon).
Back on topic, wait for dual cores to come and than do a comparison.

Thats what I was trying to tell him but then again whos fault is that Google picked Samsung jokery for NS's hardware? Hence why TMo was looking in to "Project Emerald" half year ago and picked device based on standards of today. Simply Google has always taken stance on that type of post mid 2010 hardware you would think they would have something to kick it to promote but on top of that they took out mSD lol comedians... I just wish luck to whoever owns NS good luck with Google/Samsung you will need it for whats coming to you specially the Vibrant 4G users who thinks its diff from regular Vibrant lol man o man Samsung sure knows how to get away with BS.

The second generation snapdragon chips are crazy fast, I was playing around with the G2 and it made my Nexus look slow. I really want to see a stock Android with the MSM 8255, the ones with skins on top of them (myTouch 4G, HTC Desire HD, Sony Xperia Arc) are already quick and responsive. Really want to see what they will do with dual core even though GPU might not be the best.
I would have to say that Samsung wins in screen technology though even if using whites kind of suck your battery dry.
I have never really owned a Samsung product of any kind. Don't play on getting on in the future.
Hello new user here I was searching in yahoo and came across this forum. I myself own google's nexus s and my girlfriend just recivered her mytouch 4g last week. I had chance to compare both of the device and I can tell you STHNS and canadariot2312 is correct. I am trying to now sell nexus s on craigslist and trying to get mytouch 4g as I am very impressed with it though even lower price by joining my girlfriends plan.
You should definitely keep up with your account here and read a lot of the information here. Right off the bat, I can tell you that this forum breathes life into devices that are a couple years old, unlocks performance and features on new devices such as making your phone a wifi router and blocking ads and they even put operating systems on phones that don't normally belong there.

My brother in law asked me to work on his Mytouch 4G. I permanently rooted it, installed a custom rom, over-clocked it to 1.4GHZ (It can go up to 1.7). Now his phone doesn't have junk software, it looks amazing, is blazing fast and he can even play Playstation games on it.

Buy a used MT4G from Craigslist, love it for 3-6 months, then sell it for exactly what you paid for it and go get a dual-core phone.
I bought my mt3g almost a year ago for $200 and sold it about 3 months ago for the same price. I'm wishing I'd bought my MT4G off contract, but whatever, I'm happy now.

I agree. Especially with a custom ROM the MT4G is so blazing fast I can't even think of wtf you'd need more speed for. I don't even have SetCPU installed. This thing is so stupidly fast I honestly don't see the point.
Why the rest of you are overclocking this thing is completely beyond me.

This is very true. The reason I learned about rooting in the first place is because my MT3G (also a 32b device) was painfully slow and I wanted to run Navi and Pandora simultaneously. OEM 2.2.1 + ezterry's 614 kernel with the new radio and spl (14mb additional ram) and SetCPU 528-614 on-demand made it a great daily driver!
But after using my MT4G for one day I couldn't even stand the MT3G anymore.
As I said above - BUY AN MT4G ON CL FOR $300 THEN SELL IT 3 MONTHS LATER FOR $300 if you really want a dual-core phone. Absolutely no loss.
I think i will get a G2. I'll wait for dual core if money is not important.
Trying to weigh my options with cell service. AT&T has been bothering me lately with dropped calls, down service etc. Really looking for a new phone (currently testing the Atrix).
I have seen some people claiming they got a 2700+ on Quadrant with this phone... is this true? How do live wallpapers run on this phone? I love having the latest and greatest software, so the Atrix might not be the best choice.
Anyone have both phones to give a comparison etc? Any comments in regards to T-Mobile service?
Thanks!
The Atrix, or any of the dual core phones coming, will most likely blow the Nexus S out of the water in terms of perfrmance, especially when they have an OS buiot to work with the two cores. That being said, this thing is flying with the latest update, at least for me. The graphics are just as good as any of the other Galaxy S phones, which aren't slouches in any way. Coming from AT&T, I will say that while AT&T has more penetration in terms of 3G where I live, T-Mobile has way better speeds, I've been up to 7mbs in places close to where I live. Then again, I go anywhere coastal and I have to live on Edge while I'm down there. So just depends on your area and who's better in terms of network.
Never used AT&T so I wouldn't know but I never really have any compliants with T-Mobile. 2700+ Quadrant, yeah its possible. Quadrant benchmarks (or benchmarks) don't really mean anything to be honest.
Live Wallpapers run fine, although I don't use it.
With a Google Experience phone, you'll always have the latest updates including kernels open sourced as soon as possible.
And to be honest, the Atrix and all those other dual core phones are most likely being crippled by the custom Android skin. So it wouldn't be worth it if you want the best possible experience as a enthusiast.

@charlieb620, thanks for the link for that video, that was a really good comparision. I guess that shows that there really is a difference between Froyo and Gingerbread. I'm not knocking the Nexus in any way but when the Atrix and the rest of the Duals get better software, they will be amazing. I am surprised by the screen of the Atrix though.

The truth is that until those dual core phones have Honeycomb or Ice Cream they will not perform as well as single core phones optimized for modern OS' like Gingerbread. Hell, they'll probably start to do a bit better once they have Gingerbread but it still won't beat the Nexus S.
I do find it funny that the Nexus S was supposed to have a dual core but that got axed because Gingerbread doesn't "support" dual core processors, yet all these dual core phones are shipping with Froyo. I guess that for at least a year, we can take solace in the fact that we own one of the better Android devices for the time being.

Thats sort of the idea. I mean, the same could be said of the Nexus One; it was the best phone when it came out but not long after bigger, better, faster phones came out. Sure, when dual core phones get future iterations of Android we'll be behind the curve but by that point there will be a new Nexus at which point I'll have sold my Nexus S for the Nexus New
My Nexus one just broke and I thought about just getting the Nexus S. However, I've been told to get a crappy phone and wait until the dual cores hit full swing. I was also told that once dual cores are the standard that Google and other manufacturers will make their OS predominately multi-threaded based.
I've been advised to get the LG Optimus now or getting something crappy like the Motorola spice and wait for the dual core.
better wait a little for better
Depends on what you need and want really.
If you like endless fun with rooting, etc. Nexus S for sure.
Otherwise, jump on the dual core train.
I rooted the N1 and had fun putting different ROMs. However, when things got busy I found it to be a low priority. I honestly want a stable smartphone. One that doens't require constant restarting, etc...
Dual-core is nice and zippy but I don't see a big difference between it and a premium 1Ghz single core phone. I am very happy with the MT4G at the moment and have had it since Day 1. I will be waiting for Kai-El, but the SGSII is tempting if it does indeed come to tmobile. I would suggest you to save money and find a good deal on the xda marketplace for a single core phone then upgrade to Kai-El when it comes out. Good luck! Hope I helped.
The way I see it, there's a couple options you can go with.
1) Wait and see. This option is the most boring, but possibly has the most potential. However, I wouldn't recommend it-- unless you're on a regional carrier or Sprint, there's going to be a dual-core option for you immediately (and even then, that's going to change in a matter of days for the latter).
2) Buy an older, cheaper, less capable smartphone off-contract to keep yourself amused, then sign up for a dual-core phone when one strikes your fancy. This isn't a bad idea-- get an old phone that developers have already cracked wide open, get your fill of mods and custom roms, then switch to the dual-core phone when you feel performance is no longer up to snuff. Right now, dual-core isn't imperative for a silky-smooth user experience, but you damn well know it will be going into the future. Don't sign a contract for a phone with one core if you feel like you need to get the most out of the UI for the majority of that two-year period.
3) Take the plunge right away. Unless you're on Verizon like me, there shouldn't be much of a dilemma with dual-core phones. The Sensation 4G is nothing short of a triumph, the Evo 3D is both novel and amusing, and the Atrix 4G is gonna be even better than it already is once it gets Gingerbread and dumps the old MotoBlur. The trick with Verizon is that its only dual-core phone right now is the Droid X2, which lacks LTE. Still, that's what I bought, and I feel confident with the purchase. It's gonna be ready for whatever software's thrown at it over the next year or two.
imho, since you're interested in dual core, better wait a bit. See what will be announced till the end of year or begining 2012.
In the meantime, could grab a cheap lg optimus one which still has plenty juice left in it for many months to come and customize the sh1t out of it with plenty roms and kernels and the upcoming update to gb.
This way you'll have something to tincker with while standing by on the safe side to see what plans the companies have on dual core
Yes
Sent from SGS Captivate CM7 or MIUI with Escapist orTKGlitch using XDA premium app.
You are not going to see difference between single and dual core.
All the games I play run max fps even in single core.
Also you dont need dual core to browse website.
Really depends on what you want(battery life, ram, screen size, screen type).
I own desire hd and galaxy s II now.
Played with galaxy S, atrix, g2x.
I prefer desire hd over all because of screen size and mod.
When do you guys think that the One X will be released here in the US (stateside)??? I just upgraded to the Galaxy Note, and have 30 days, but I am really interested in switching it out for the One X if it comes out in time.

We most likely won't see it here for awhile. Maybe around summer time. Mainly with what's is going on with the processors maybe delaying the launch of the whole line.
Q2, so, like, around May/June-ish i believe
Should be the One XL. Dual core Krait S4 CPU for LTE. Unreal potential, but horribly crippled by no sd slot and no extended battery.
And only16gb
Did Crapple buy HTC and we weren't told?
Eat the rich before they eat you!
Bloke above is correct. Not sure if you'll see the quad-core One X Stateside, but AT&T will see the dual-S4-packing One XL sometime this quarter.
All the caveats mentioned above (no expandable memory, 16GB etc.) still apply.

And only16gb
Did Crapple buy HTC and we weren't told?

Or emulating the wrong aspects of Apple. Apple is applauded for their polish and refine which their loyal base then defend their short comings such as lack of sd card.
anyhooo... spec wise LG optimus 4x seems a better match, but others point to the problems that g2x had, as a reason to distrust LG. Their rep was not helped with the videos I saw at MWC. Little chance (AUS or US) of us getting that beautiful waterproof fujistu quad core ICS phone. But as specs go Huawei really is a looker, with stock ICS.
By some reports I read, only a XL version will be released that will not have the Quad Core, but with a Dual Core processor.
If I'm wrong correct me.
in joooon Im putty soore
lol whooo caaaaares. All the phones these days are the same and more come out monthly. Its like a bag of popcorn- every corn is the same as the rest.
You can buy the quad core One X but only if you're planning to use only HSPA+ I believe since there's an article about it passing the FCC to use HSPA+ bands in the US.
You can continue discussion on the proper section, thanks

Okay well before I go any further, I will let you guys know I highly enjoy gaming! I will mainly be using my device in my free time to probably games like Criticial Strike etc.. I occasionally play Words with Friends etc but due to the fact I have a 64GB iPad jailbroken device I feel as if my iDevice crave is fixed for the time being..
I have always been an avid Android fan since the original Droid was released from Motorolla with Verizon. I owned one, rooted it, did all the stuff that I thought made it more personal etc.. I just enjoyed it..
2 years later, I finally have had enough with Verizon and made the move to Sprint.. I purchased the Evo 4G a few days after its initial release and loved it. Again, it was rooted and had Fresh Rom installed along with being OCd..
Sadly not long after newer devices emerged.. T Mobile had the first Tegra dual core device, which made me feel as if my initial $300 investment was thrown out the window..
Ive finally decided I will go back to Sprint.. My girlfriend has AT&T and personally owns the new Tegra 3 Quad Core One X device.. I like it however when playing FPS games like Criticial Strike I notice the screen isnt as easy to navigate when aiming etc as opposed to say my iPad 2 in terms of smoothness.. It seems as if it lacks the ability to glide your fingers across the screen for smooth aiming etc..
I have noticed there are absolutely NO Tegra 3 Quad Core devices right now for Sprint.. This has me worried because I intend on getting something that will be fairly adequate for atleast the next year, hopefully 2, until I decide to upgrade..
Could anyone please help me with this?! I have heard that Qualcomms 28nm vs NVidias 40nm on there Tegra 3 is better.. I cant not say.. I have honestly not installed any Tegra 3 games on her One X and after the disapointment with the touch screen while attempting to play Criticial Strike made me give up rather fast..
Any phone junkies who would be able to assist me I would greatly appreciate it! I honestly would prefer to stick with Android due to the fact I have an iPad 2 but I will definantly be open to any opinions regarding performance etc as well! I also want to note I like tethering and with Sprints truly unlimited data makes it more suitable for my needs!
Thanks,
ASM

Indeed. All phone decision questions should be asked there. Thread closed.
