What do you guys think about the LG optimus 2x it's doesn't have the build quality quite like our phone but almost every review said it runs blazing fast. Well except for engadget but the reviewer had adavance task killer on.... I think our phone is still be up there with others for a long time before dual core comes technically standard.

Anandtech had some benchmarks and its on par for now, lack of dual core optimizations.
Galaxy S2 (lol), looking forward for.

I don't trust Samsung had a vibrant. Also knowing T-Mobile will water down their other phones like the HTC pyramid since mytouch is their flagship device.
Idk how good LG is but I read a couple reviews said the phone was blazing fast and LG ui isn't in the way. It had nice features like changing the type of font and such.

That may be true my contract is up in may and if it is I will be getting it been waiting for a 4.3 dual core beast from HTC. Even without hspa LG optimus 2x doesn't look bad. HTC pyramid probably have the speeds of the vibrant 4g and and called the mytouch HD. Lets hope T-Mobile gives us straight sense.... doubt it though.

I can't wait until the Optimus 2x becomes available. I love the phone qualities! Its built nice, better camera and higher HD recording (which I care the most about). I'm not a fan of the Sense UI on it but its something I can get use to. Also battery life is suppose to be better. From the phones I saw at CES, T-Mobile only has a few added apps on the phone. Nothing was changed.
As far as the HTC Pyramid goes, we shall see.... I might be buying yet ANOTHER phone in a few more months if its better than the Optimus 2x. Long as T-Mobile doesn't mess it over.
Might wait till quadcore come out cause seems like dual core will be outdated within a year.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
The Optimus 2X seems like it'll be a good phone, but the Pyramid is my current object of desire (pun intended). I just hope that T-Mobile doesn't brand it as a MyTouch phone and keeps the Desire HD-like aesthetics. Don't get me wrong, I love my MT4G. However, its form factor definitely could have been better.
As far as quad-core is concerned, once its released, octo-core will come out a year later. With cell phones, it's a perpetual game of catch-up. Remember the pace of PC technology in the mid-90s? It's deja vu all over again.

In build it feels sturdy. I felt the LG optimus 2x recently very light compared to the mytouch. My g2 is lighter than the mytouch which surprised me since the g2 has a keyboard. I think the g2 is the one that can take the most hits I dropped so many times. Thinking it will snap in two still hasn't. And it's been more that 3 feet I dropped the g2. No scratches or dings yet cause of the zagg full body cover and skin.

The phone is generally built very well. Can never tell what will happen when you drop a phone onto a hard surface. You were just unlucky.
I'm still sporting my original HTC Hero (Cyanogenmod 7) rooted etc etc etc...
I was seriously wanting to upgrade to the EVO 3D but some more devices have shown up lately, as of today also.
Thoughts on what I should get? I want power, I tether ALOT so that is a factor. I'll be rooting etc.
Anything other than the EVO 3D I should consider?
Don't get the evo, get the nexus s 4g. I left the evo for this phone. Best decision I've ever made this phone has more developers, no bloatware, faster, smoother, sleeker, more updates. Do not miss my evo aat all.

IMO the sensation really isn't anything special. The screen on it sucks and its not that fast for it being a dual core phone. I played with the epic touch gs2 yesterday....and now that's a phone to drool over. That right now is the only phone out that's worth an upgrade from the mt4g. Again this is just my opinion.

I've heard some bad things about the Sensation, but I think the sluggish speed is caused by the async Snapdragon that Qualcomm made. Both CPUs won't be on unless they're both needed and I'm guessing that doesn't work really good in Gingerbread, so perhaps on 1 core is active. When the Exynos or Tegra 2 the cores are both on all the time, so they should be faster, although they still clock up and down as normal. The screen in lacking, but it's no S/Amoled or IPS or Retina. HTC doesn't really produce nicer screens like the competition, they use S-LCD or LCD in their phones, not sure if they have any other tech ATM.
Well, I can agree on this. I've never been a fan of MyTouch models, but T-Mo forced me. I've been from a T-Mo G1 (Dream), to a T-Mo G2 (Desire Z), then to a samsung Galaxy S 4g and when it got stolen, the assurant would only leave me with a MyTouch 4g. Really can't compare the screen, but hey, I'm more than pleased. I'm quite impressed this phone doesn't have that much of a great feedback from T-Mo. :/ Oh well.
Yeah I've had a bunch, came from an epic and I have to say this phone is good stock. Unity is boss though. Omfg.
Edit: one other thing... This community is so chilled and friendly compared to the previous ones I have been a part of. Thank you people...

Totally happier with this one. SGS4G relied TOO MUCH on the screen~ and it was just annoying sometimes. I got used to physical buttons because of my last phones, so I felt like using an iPhone not an Android. And besides, the SGS4G's front facing camera was just sad.

DhD, TB, and MT4G is last 2GS single core proc of HTC and with even DDR1 768MB we are set for long time. Keep in mind with custom mod hack (script, tweak, rom, kernel) if you know what you doing your set now until we have need for dual core.

Sorry was it hard for you to comprehend?
DhD = Desire HD (GSM)
TB = Thunderbolt (CDMA)
2GS = Second Generation Spandragon
So technically Inspire HD (GSM-US) is equivalent of Desire HD (GSM-EU). Since we real pro die hard SmartPhone user know HTC owns Moto and SamSUX, so that's another subject of its own.
Now the point I was making is as you being home user you yourself do not need or dual core mCPU yet. So MT4G is same spec as Thunderbolt (yes I'm aware of the screen and nand diff). Thus last of its kind not failed attempt to upgrade us to dual core when Android framework so far utilizing only cpu0 as cpu1 thread is most not used as OS and App is not using it yet.

Yeah I'm skipping dual cores then just gonna go for quads or whatever is out in Fall next year.

Most likely, never had the chance to check. The phone got stolen a month after bought so I could barely play around with it. It's not usual of me to root a phone the same day I get it; I stay with root for a few days, and in this case, a month. Now with the MT4G, no way I was gonna stay with stock for a month, no way. |: hahaha.
Hi guys, I've move to the Sensation its nice and all,but mytouch4G seems better and faster to be honest I miss my mytouch4G its a great phone. I'm thinking of selling this Sensation and get HTC Amazed or SGII. But I love Sense but the speakers in HTC sux,gonna be a hard decision.

I'm new to smartphones, got the MT4G in Feb and love it. I just rooted last month and put Virtuous Unity(2.3.5 and V9 unity kernal) on it and it outperformed the Sensation in quadrant and just "feels" better.
The MT4G forums here are great! Even this old man has learned alot.
This is my first smartphone. Rooted and S off the first week. Been impressed eversince. My girl got a g2x it seems sluggish compared to mt4g. Battery life is much better also.

Guys I am planning to buy a new phone. I want your suggestions about choosing the right one. I am relying on good battery life and phone which has a good amount of development going on (custom roms, kernels, miui, cyanogenmod, ics etc.) coz I love to fiddle with devices a lot. My current choices are :
Samsung galaxy R
Samsung galaxy S plus
HTC Desire S
HTC Incredible S
These are my options but senior members can suggest me phone in range of 23000 INR ($475).
Thanks in advance guys

Isn't Galaxy Nexus coming to India soon? It definitely has those things (though battery life preferred with custom kernel) and is probably of choice (until the new quadcores come out in a few months anyway) for tinkering. But I'm not sure you can get it for $475, unless they offer it more cheaply there. I got mine for $550ish, and that's considered cheap here.

Umm.. If you look for design and Sense UI, go for HTC. But if you want a performance device then I would suggest Samsung R or S Plus.
Thought for 23k you can even get Optimus 2x or Optimus 3D.
But if your just gonna stick with Samsung and HTC. I would suggest Samsung for the performance. No wonder HTC's Sense UI is far better than any other device out there but its just your decision whether wanna go with Design and Looks or Performance and Built Quality!
have a look at the new Htc series One,
HTC One X, HTC One S and HTC One V

2 years ago, I prefer 3.7" phones to 4.3" phones. But now, 3.7" and 4.3" seem too small for me. Just try it first and you'll like it and even want a bigger one. Anyway, the 4.8" screen was rumoured to have a 16:9 aspect ratio.

I see. For that price, you might consider the HTC Sensation. I think the HTC Rezound occasionally gets that low (say with special promotions), but I can't find any at this moment.
I'm not familiar with any of the "cheaper" manufacturers (Huawei or the like) but it might be something to look into.
If your not in a hurry to get a phone. I would suggest you too wait for like till April or May. There are like 20+ phones getting launched by then.
HTC's One series are gonna be available globally by April. Even LG, Samsung, Sony has launched some new phones and they all comes with ICS 4.
So you may wait for sometime and I bet its worth waiting for.

That's actually a good point. Old phones usually take a price dip when their successor comes out. The HTC Rezound is sure to take one when the One X comes out, for instance, similarly for the Samsung Galaxy S2 when the S3 comes out.
So if you can wait, I'm going to speculate that those phones might dip down into your (OP's) price range. (But you should allow for a margin of error ).
If I were you, I would check the forum on what phone has the most development ... That way, you can have a lot of Rom choices hehehe

Plenty of threads there to compare...both are old phones now so doesn't matter what you buy. Wait for newer phones this holiday season, may be a new nexus or Note 2 or may be HTC Super phone or LG Snapdragon S4 quad core beast.

HTC for me just get the design right, on certain phones. Which I LOVE especially the HOX!
I have used both, and must say I still prefer the HOX but it is just personal preference, if you want a phone that looks like a pebble, get the SG3! if you want a beautiful phone get the HOX !
