Farewell myTouch!

Well it's been a good run....But it's time to let go!
I have a nexus s and I'm trading this phone for a g2 because theres no reason to keep two phones with such similar features.
Perhaps, if the powers that be allow it (craigslist) I shall return!
Until then, it's been great guys have fun and take care.

. bye

You'd be surprised how good the n's is. Amazing screen and great performance. And I gotta say, the nexus s has a much slicker look.

Wait you are trading G2 for MT4G? WTF? are you crazy? Also NS is nothing special other than having SGX540 and SAMOLED. Far as SGX540 goes its slightly better than AMD Z460 regardless of what the Hummingbird fanboys want you to think. Far as performance goes has that POS device able to play full 720p videos yet? I just find it odd a phone that can score (via leak) 4000+ on quadrant with TrinityOC kernel can't even play video feed which says alot as synthetic score never translates in to real world performance. I mean only thing I hear people talk about when they say NS is THE update directly from Google. So? thats why we have AOSP and we get it better than official stock in month or two full working port.

Welcome to the nexus s family bro u will love it!!!

The myTouch 4G's huge advantage in RAM alone makes it a better phone than the Nexus S. With phone's like the Atrix now released (1GB RAM), the Nexus S' small 512MB RAM makes it seem ancient. I'll take the MT4G's 768.

Ya I didn't want to start Hummingbird SoC vs Snapdragon SoC war so I let that go but the fact is regardless of the synthetic benchmark the NS fanboy are so fond of MT4G is superior and no the POS SGX540 has nothing to do with it as it won't even be factor. With ext of 2GS and 768mb DDR in MT4G it will out do NS clock per clock. Far as Atrix goes yeah its using 1GB RAM but its DDR2 in this case as with higher latency with dual bandwidth is same as DDR1 as I thoroughly covered on AF forum. MT4G is better than NS regardless of what these fanboys tell you these are the same people who rely on Google for updates lol which says enough.

Mistake in two ways... Especially trading for g2...

No disrespect, but I was playing with the Nexus S at Best Buy last week and was actually laughing out loud! All I could think of was it was a re-badged Galaxy S phone (which I did own).

I also have to agree on the choice being bad, I have a Nexus One, Nexus S, and the MT4G, there are only two things I miss about the Nexus S that the MT4G doesn't have, I loved the screen, and the weight.
The MT4G has a better camera, its faster (OC'd to 1.5ghz right now), compared to the NS 1.3), the ram (even if its only a bit more).

That's because some of us actually has deep history in this fiasco that you can't even begin to comprehend. I mean when you are correct and have actual data to prove it regardless of the delusional placebo effect faced by 90% of the Hummingbird fanboys.
Then again its not your fault you properly use your phone for some girly chitchat, but some of us actually has MT4G connected to a cluster making it one of the vNodes thus able to swift and swing proc task via wifi taking the whole mobile computing to the next level.

No fanboyism or hatred on my part. Read my post, it wasn't about opinions or loyalty, but about actual numbers that translate into a faster device and overall better performance.

Nexus S better? You haven't tried the MT4G with a Faux123 kernel have you... Good luck anyway.

+1 this phone looks ridiculous. I just hope it feels better than the thunderbolt.
LG typically makes mediocre phones at best, at least in my experience.

According to most of the reports this thing is insanely fast. I for one am picking one up plus its running stock android and so far all the "g" series phones have large development communities.

Actually the dual cores have better battery life apparently because they don't kick in the 2nd processor until needed. That's what all the articles I've read have said.

[Q] Getting "upgraded" to a Galaxy S

So I currently have a T-Mobile MyTouch 4G that I really like, I have Cyanogen Mod 7.0.3 running on it, and I get great battery life. I have some dust under the glass, so I called T-Mobile and they said that they would happily exchange it, but that they don't have the MyTouch 4G and that they will "upgrade" me to the Samsung Galaxy S. Looking at the forums it doesn't seem like there is much development for these phones. Should I tell T-Mobile that I want a different phone? or are there custom ROMS that I can run on the Galaxy S? I really like the 16 or so hours of battery life I currently get, plus how fast the phone is. Thanks.

Sgs4g is about the same speed.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App

The phones are about the same speed but the mytouch4g has 768 mb of ram and the sgs4g onlu has 514... The mytouch 4g also is rated higher on quadrant. But imo the sgs4g is gear more for adults. They are still developing roms. The only one I know of that is actually stable is the deodexed stock kd1 by whitehawxx. There will be alot more soon especially now that drhonk has gotten the test sgs4g.

U dont have to lie the sgs4g gets MUCH better framerates if thats what you were asking...for some reason the quadrant scores arent as high but I can assure you that the hummingbird has a much better graphics card than the snapdragon plus it has a little bit bigger screen so I think that it is a bit of an upgrade and when it does start getting more custom roms it will just be the super phone that it should be

Definitely worth the upgrade. Only thing the Vibrant has over this phone is the Super Amoled. The G2x has a faster processor, 1080p Video recording, front facing camera, 8 megapixel camera, 4g (feels way faster than my myTouch 4g and G2x) one of the loudest speakers I've heard on a smartphone and I've owned numerous of smartphone's (Nexus One, Nexus S, myTouch 4g, G2, Vibrant, HD7 etc.). The screen has a nice curve around the edge that feels so good when swiping across pages, pictures etc. The issues this phone has is mainly software based since Gingerbread isn't intended for dual core. ICE CREAM SANDWICH should fix this issue if we will ever get an official release from LG. If not there's always XDA devs that will be more than willing to bring this update to the G2x.

Not to argue, but my reason behind saying gingerbread isn't optimized is that when Google created gingerbread there was no dual core around. The software had single core in mind. G2x users are still experiencing random reboots, but not as frequent as before.

Because the gb update is still ****!!! Cmon I think there even saying T-Mobile pulled the update to fix some bugs and gb is more optimized for dual core then froyo is what I was getting at. Dude gb is definitely good for dual core especially if optimized rite and all the bugs are worked out u can manage ur apps better and gb has a built in task killer if u choose to use it and I/0 is better. Oh and better battery management, idk I would say gb bug free is definitely great for dual core phones look at the sgs 2

Hands down a major upgrade!! I've had a mint vibrant sitting around the whole time I've had a G2x, and never have seriously considered using it during the trials and tribulations with the G2x. The GPS is all but unusable, and while the screen is very contrasty, saturated and bright, it's also grainy, not very sharp for the resolution specs. I prefer the sharpness and clarity of the G2x IPS LCD.
I ended up getting a second G2x for testing/hacking and sold the Vibrant. A good phone, but the useless GPS was completely unacceptable.

Wait for the Samsung Galaxy S II to appear in the US. I hear it's coming August. I have it now, bought out from over seas though. You can buy it from overseas and use At & t for using the 3G/4G speeds. And AT&T has a $50 unlimited talk, text, and data. Galaxy S II doesn't show up as a smartphone so you don't have to pay extra for data plan.

Gave vibrant to wife I took the g2x. Honestly like said before the g2x screen imo is better than the vibrants samoled but samoled plus is better I'm sure..
That said sold the vibrant and got a g2x for my wife....

I was gonna wait for a SGSII Varient, or the Hercules, but i just didnt feel like waiting for the SGSII, and the Hercules screen is probably going to be too big. So i went out and bought it.
Gonna root and put CM7 on it. Hope its worth it!
Thanks everyone!

Its definitely worth it u will be happy your video camera will do 30 fps. , u will still have screenshot, just hold power down u will see the menu, cm increased data speeds, fixed battery issues, there's touch to focus for the camera, alot of nice **** that cm has incorporated into our phone download the latest nightly it is very stable and more stable then rc1 plus more stuff has been incorporated since rc1. Oh and we have voodoo sound for the g2x which is sick just flash fauxs kernel I think he's the only one with the loading module in his kernel, and we also have tons of roms to choose from if u ain't feeling cm, I love my phone with cm tho, the g2x is the best phone state side

IPS refers to the technology used in the display. It has nothing to do with resolution

Infuse is less powerful, but the screen and body are much superior. If you can spend the extra money, go with the gs2, or if you want a whole better display then any phone out including the coming gnexus, go for the lg nitro. It is one beast phone lol.

I have a infuse, my fiance has atrix. I like my infuse more than her atrix. Her atrix is quicker and snappier but the battery life sucks, bad. I pulled a stock atrix rom for her phone and looked around in it and it's ridiculous how much moto blur crap they put in their roms. Get a infuse.

Is she on official Gingerbread? I get great battery life with stock Gingerbread on the Atrix.

As to the OP, I can't speak to the G2x. I would say it depends on your needs:
The Atrix is a fast, solid phone with official Gingerbread, great battery life, a Tegra 2 processor (which gives you access to Tegra 2 apps) and a fingerprint unlock feature. It's around the size of an iPhone 4, but with a larger screen and smaller bezel. The screen looks pretty crappy in my opinion (especially compared to the screen on the Infuse), and MotoBlur is one of the worst manufacturer frameworks in my opinion. I've never flashed anything custom on my Atrix to see how much the experience can be improved.
The Infuse is like a Galaxy S 1.5: it has higher clocked version of the Galaxy S CPU, same GPU, same audio, etc. but with the Galaxy S2 body, screen and camera. Being a single-core phone with a large battery, it has potential for great battery life, but your mileage may vary with custom ROM's, kernels, different modems, etc. The Infuse has a wide selection of ROM's to choose from due to its ability to run Galaxy S ROM's (with certain libraries and the kernel replaced). The Infuse is thinner and lighter than the Atrix, quite a bit larger side-by-side due to its incredible 4.5" SAMOLED+ screen and has a better camera. Just like the Atrix, it is a very solid, durable and well-built phone. The phone won't feel as smooth as the Atrix, and you'll probably want a custom ROM to get your Infuse to peak performance. You can run Tegra 2 games with the Chainfire 3D app, but performance and graphics quality will vary.
The Infuse is superior for music and video due to its media support, screen and audio hardware, but demanding games will generally perform better on the Atrix. Web browsing and Flash will perform better on the Atrix. I feel that the Atrix, despite its MotoBlur, is more useable out of the box, whereas the look and performance of the Infuse really pushes me to customize it and flash—probably because I know what Samsung phones are capable of.
If you like listening to music and watching videos, like the stock apps and gestures of TouchWiz, want a better camera, and don't mind the size tradeoff for the large, awesome screen, the Infuse might be better for you. If you plan to use your phone mostly for web browsing with Flash, playing the latest games, or if you have an interest in the docking options on the Atrix, you might want that instead.

Ok...It's almost settled..for low budget...Infuse 4G but for a higher one Atrix or optimus 3D!! Which one do you recommended?
