Eh... its all white back. What's the point? The whole idea was all black. Is this a dumb way to try to imitate that other company phone?

Welcome and enjoy!!
Man, that white battery cover is sexy as hell. I so want it and can't seem to find it anywhere online.

I also got the white one for AT&T.
One thing you'll learn quickly is that with the official radio on the i9020a, the data speeds are capped in the ROM. You should probably read this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116884
You will need to unlock the bootloader and root the device in order to apply the fix but after that you will love the speeds you can get on your NS.

What radios are working well for you all? I haven't had a chance to read up on them yet.

From what i've read so far, the KB3 radio is the best for the AT&T version (i9020a)

One month later.
Do you guys regret paying full price now that the nexus s is officially on at&t. I did for a minute but then I was reminded that it have the white one so I don't regret.

Eris on Cyanogenmod version 7

Ha! Even my last phone, the Droid Eris, has a signed Cyanogenmod version 7 install for it. It works and looks awesome. Gave this one to my nephew. He's very happy Wish Thunderbolt were there ...can't wait.
Interesting.

How long has the Eris been out for? How long has the Thunderbolt been out for?
Is it the 4g part that makes it difficult or is it taking about as long as any other phone? EVO, I think, got cyanogen pretty quickly when it came out...maybe I'm wrong.

Cyanogen had a good friend with an Evo that was readily available for testing. And when he released it WiMAX didn't work.

So how long until we get Mango?

according to the picture below, it looks like HTC is pushing out our phone loaded with WP on it (aka HTC Titan). Thoughts?

**Mango on our Inspires?
Do you guys think it's going to happen? HD2 has the best situation - WinMo, Android, WP.
Yuck. Get that out of my sight. Who made that OS, a bunch of first graders? (nice tiles...).
Not gonna happen. If you want your inspire to look like a wp7 then get the launcher for it. Mango will never be for the inspire.

I would love to see it happen. I'm always up for something new on our phones
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA Premium App
I have always had 2 phones, either for my self or one for me and one for my wife.
We have run multiple os's apple from the first iPhone all the way through the iPhone4, early adopters to wp7 with Samsung Foci (multiple focus), WM - WM6.5 on a plethora of devices (too many to name) and our first android phones with the Inspire 4G (3.5). I have always "played" with mine and left her's stock...always having a base to compare to.
Our least favorite of the OS's has been the WP7 as it gets old FAST....I know our phones don't have the greatest spec's compared to many that are currently out there but for the most part it works great and is easy to customize. Not so much with WP7...please keep it off our phones

Sad to leave so soon.

I thought I would be leaving the mt4g when I got the galaxy nexus...as I will.
But still my stupid volume rockers stopped working.. I have insurance so so I called t mobile and they are expecting my mytouch 4g slide to arrive friday. :/
So I will miss all thegreat developers in this phones dev section. Thanks for all your great work!
I am my mom's "little elitest"
Deal with it!
Awww, too bad dude. Hopefully development for the slide goes crazy. Have fun.

I've been really down on T-Mobile lately, but it's nice that they're replacing MT4G's with the 4G Slide now. I certainly have no need for a physical keyboard and wouldn't want the added bulk, but the slightly better performance specs are nice.
Are you claiming it on the insurance or is this an actual t-mobile store replacing it?

T mobile is replacing it, it had 90 day warranty on it plus insurance. Thru the warranty technically :tho. Y?

See why I'm going to be sad? Look at this sexy speed test!

Dayummm! That's as fast as I have ever seen!
I don't.
This is internet speed and you should get same speed on mt4gs.

4G or regular

I feel so stupid because some roms tell me I'm on a nexus s 4G and I know koodo doesn't have a 4G network but is there any way to tell ?

I don't quite understand what your question is?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA
The roms for nexus s 4g are only for the cdma sprint version of the phone. May work on other cdma carriers, i just don't know.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
nexus s 4g gets no signal in germany, so that already answers your question. also check the label under the battery, would say D720 if it were a 4G. (guessing yours reads gt-9023 -> SLCD-screen)
if your roms show 4g-things, you're flashing the wrong stuff. ^^

Power off your phone. Hold volume + and press power, until you're at the fastboot screen.
You should see a screen like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If next to bootloader and baseband version the number starts with D720, you got a Nexus S 4G.

[Rumor] Next T-Mobile Slider?

Yooooo. Samsung quality and the keyboard looks great, compared to this rather garbage keyboard we got stuck with. Thoughts?
Specs aren't nearly as good though. Sadly, I don't think I'd even recommend this for my wife come August when she can get a new phone.

If it's got an S4, I personally would not care about the downgrade in camera. I don't use a camera that much, so it wouldn't be much of a loss to me. I can see why others would be annoyed though, haha.

Wth we got some awesome keyboard I love this keyboard I rate it better than the G2 which was also great, I hate the samsung epic keyboard and this one looks about the same -_-
The best keyboard IMO tho was the sidekick 2, till this day I haven't found a better one on any other phone. the one that was actually about the same in quality was the htc pro 2 keyboard which was pretty awesome but buttons were a little to big.

The Sidekick slide has an epic Keyboard Samsung has no ground in the QWERTY world. If this an Epic 4G for T-Mobile, sign me up. But if it's just one of there cheap boost mobile QWERTYS. I'll stay with my myTouch, which I'm considering giving up once the new Jellybean QWERTY comes out.
