G2 to MT4G?

Has anyone made this switch? I love the G2, but I'm just not feeling the hardware keyboard. :/
I figure I can get a MT4G for the same price I can sell my G2 for, so it's a quick swap. What are the pros of the MT4G? Biggest drawbacks? I just really, really prefer the solid bar shape to the hinged G2.

Just make sure you get the good screen other than that this phone is a beast.

I have both the g2 and the mytouch 4g I wasn't to hot for the keyboard myself it sits here collecting dust. I use it for games easier to play with hardware buttons. I don't regret my choice of getting the mytouch either.

How do you tell the difference without seeing the device?

I swapped and am loving the MT4G, but when I pick up the wife's G2, it still just feels like a better phone. All smartphones free this weekend from T-Mobile if you're serious.

I did the jump. Mt4g works better for me. Form factor and everything is better

You don't...there's no way to know the screen type without seeing it. Read the thread about good and bad displays, all you need is there.

If the seller via Craigslist or EBay is that serious about selling the phone they can check for you w/o root the phone. It's super simple to do.
Personally i have "bad screen" and it's not that different from a "good screen". My kid sister has a "good screen phone" and it's brighter, and the whites are whiter. thats about it.

Well,i haven't made a switch, but I did check them both out at the store, and I went with the glacier just cause I like how it looks. And I don't use qwerty,nor do I like touch sensitive buttons.

Faster processor, MUCH more RAM, larger screen, better feel to the device (IMHO), and FFC.

I've been toying with the idea of obtaining a MT4G instead, since I very, very rarely use the hardware keyboard anymore. Less than I thought I was going to.
Is T-Mo STILL having bad-screen units coming off their shelves to this day? You'd think that would not be an issue by now. What am I saying, of course it is, most people probably have no idea it's even a problem..

Sense 3.0

just saw this on the xda news.... any dev looking at this?
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/exclusive-htc-pyramid-photos/

I'm definitely a first day buyer. Regardless of what happens with AT&T, this phone is too good to pass up. Besides, we'll still get more than enough use out of it.

Now, it's either this or the G2X. I'm looking forward to this but I HOPE it comes out soon!

Oooooh....is the sense 3.0 going to maybe be open source or available in the sdk?

No
Sense is proprietary code and has never been open sourced.

The G2X looks very appealing, but the Pyramid has a couple of things that the G2X does not - more RAM, bigger screen, and a better display resolution. Most importantly, it's made by HTC.
I am, however, very happy to see that T-Mo has finally stepped up its game in terms of high-end handsets. Unfortunately, in light of the impending AT&T buyout, it may be a bit too late in the game.

This phone would be perfect for me to use on wind! Me wants!

The G2X is supposed to also have AT&T 3G/4G bands. This one and the Pyramid are potential paperweights.

I don't know much about the Slide 4G but from what I've seen I would trade it for a Sensation in a heartbeat. I despise slide out keyboards. I know lots of people like them but I can't stand the way they make a phone feel in my hand. Because the Sensation's screen is larger I don't have any issues with typing on the touchpad. The Sensation feels like such a premium device. The camera from the Amaze has been ported to the Sensation so it's not like the Slide has that advantage, really. I would make the trade but I don't know a ton about the Slide. Anyone else out there that does?

Biggest one...the amount of development the Sensation has.

i have to agree with you there. slide, amaze and sgs2 havent had so many devs working on roms, so i say yes to switching to the sensation unless you want to wait for galaxy nexus

I am usimg a Galaxy SII right now it is very boring.
The Sensation has so much dev support.
I can't wait to get my Sensation back.

Sent from my Senseless Doubleshot using XDA App

Only thing is that the MT4GS has a better camera with f2 and other stuff, compared to the Sensation's 8MP. But, it's true that Devs have no interest in the MT4GS or Tmobile's "SGSII"(most likely due to CPU?). These phones have very poor support and I wouldn't recommend them to anyone wanting ROMs.
P.S. No offense to the Devs of the those phones

You should defiantly trade phones if you care about development, I want a sensation for the same reason. I was considering the Amaze but development isn't as rapid.

Only if it has been within 30 days...Otherwise this type of switch only happens when tmo if out of stock os slides then they offer a comparable phone. If the phone was broken under warranty they'll exchange it thru asurion and give you another phone. You could sell it in the XDA market place, ebay, or craiglist(dangerous!).

You'll have to sell unless you can find someone here on XDA willing to trade it. Getting it through a warranty is tricky since they need to be out of stock and what not.

Ok I went to tmobile to exchange this but she said I have to call customer care
So how should I do that and if I tell them to give me a sensation will they

We have been scammed by HTC.

HTC allows us to unlock but does not allow total root capabilities.
What is the point of unlocking and losing warranty if the phone is not truly yours?
Love the One S LOTS! But why keep it if development will be hampered by HTC?
Not a Samsung fan but I guess it will be my next device. Maybe sooner than later if I can sell the One S or trade for a G-Nex.
Got the S cause of T-Mobile and want true aosp along with full root functions. Thought it would be no problem to get aosp but wow was I wrong! Sense sucks!
Thanks HTC for once again SUCKING! You are losing the ONES who truly love your devices!

You seriously thought it would be easy to get AOSP on an HTC phone? That's where you went wrong.

Point is that HTC advertises that they are " developer friendly" which is total B.S.

I don't know, I think they have some insane hacking to get S-Off. I believe everything to achieve it on those devices has been patched. What I am trying to say is they have roms that are decent but it took them forever to get S-Off and their development was crippled by it.

Just sucks how HTC is half assing their support.
I will likely hold on and wait for some good news in the future.
Never, since using Android ,have I ever thought about giving up on HTC until now
399$ Nexus looking real good right now.

Don't do it man, I had a galaxy nexus and I miss AOSP but Samsung makes some plastic ass phones. It'll get better in due time. The One S has an advantage over the One X and maybe the SGSIII in that the European model and US model are exactly the same.

I hear you man. I have always praised HTC build quality over Samsung.
I do agree that the S is better than the X. Phone is a BEAST. Just wish it was not handcuffed to Sense

For now the best I can do is keep using Black Dragon Rom which "looks" for the most part aosp.

Another wah-baby post... sad. I thought most people would realize it might be a couple of months before there is a fully functional and stable AOSP build. I did. Whatever.

The G2 was awesome. Very large and very good development support for it since it is also the same as Desire Z.
Sold it after getting One S. I had ICS on it working good including camera. Gingerbread was lightning fast on it.

You are missing the point. Of course I did not expect huge development this early for the S. What you are missing is that the support my not get a chance due to HTC and HTC is misleading<which is what this thread is about.

They're soft keys, this is running on iida UI 2.0
It's gonna be released in Japan in mid-February, not sure if it'll ever make it elsewhere

That phone would have been better with hard keys. The soft ones aren't saving any space, there is just a weird looking gap where they should be.
