T-Mobile just confirmed a sidekick 4G android device will be coming in the next few months
http://www.gizmocrunch.com/android/4841-samsung-galaxy-4g-htc-sidekick-t-mobile
It sounds interesting, I have had a sidekick before and the design is hot imo however the software (danger OS) was terrible the market had no apps compare to android.
So what you guys think about this? Do you see potential in the device since its android afterall, and don't come comment things like "its a teenager phone" because I've seen old people with it before LOL

the only thing I see not making me excited is the possibility that htc won't be making it, we all know that the best processors are currently made by htc and samsung, and I only buy htc phones! lol

When the Sidekick was released, apps were not an issue, it was never really an issue. In fact, I am sure that it decline because the iPhone was a smartphone that didn't feel like you were carrying around a brick. I had the Sidekick 3 which was released in 2006, it was heavy, but it was a pretty cool phone despite the fact it was not exactly portable.
Also, neither Samsung or HTC will make the next Sidekick (lack of involvement with the brand is one reason). Most likely it will be either Sharp or Motorola. Leaning towards Sharp because they didn't have issues with their Sidekick versions.
Fun fact, the guy behind Android founded Danger Inc.
I had the Sidekick 08 from launch all the way up until a couple months ago when I purchased the myTouch 4g. I enjoyed the phone while I had it, never had any problems with it(except for the whole data loss incident). I got the MT4G because the sidekick had been worn out over the past years, but it was a good phone
If htc ain't making than no sidekick for me lmao but we still don't know for sure any one could make this new sidekick we'll see!

This is awesome news!!
I had the latest sidekick Lx and I loved it, still love that keyboard for texting, i miss it ):
Do you all think they will have still have that flip screen.
I recently had to use one and let me tell you i hated every minute of it.
See I like a lot of people text when we arent suppose to. Having to flip that screen everytime to send a text was painful. I really dont see how kids get away with texting in class.

Know?
Droid X performs tons of HTC devices. And that's a Motorola. Droid X is about equal to the MT4g in power.
I hope Samsung makes the Sidekick. Super AMOLED FTW! Plus it's gonna be Andy Rubin's baby. Which means... Stock Android ?! It could be like the Nexus S with a keyboard epic win
Makes sense to me that it would be running android though not only is it the best os in my opinion but the guy who brought you the sidekick UI is now in charge of Google's user experience department. I hope for one hope HTC busts out the sidekick I never owned one and always wanted one, and although Sombionix and Team Whiskey bust out some great roms for my phone I don't think I'll go the Samsung route again.
Dank Ups
Vibrant Galaxy S
Doin that Voodoo that it do so well with Bionix V5

And your wish just came true stock android and unfortunately (for me ofcourse) its made by samsung! With the super amoled btw no offense I just don't like samsung so I won't buy this new sidekick you will lol
That sounds pretty sweet! Physical kbs are always nice.
Yea I'm not saying its bad its just I like htc better but it looks good for samsung fans at least its better than sharp making the sidekick, and I love that it has a ffc but guess what and this really inffuriates me...... no flash on the cam wtf at this age

I've had this phone since it came out in November and usually me being the tech whore that I am would get bored really quick and lust for the next big thing. As of now, I'm still loving this phone. I've rooted, on CM7, configured my screens the way I like it and sometimes I notice me touching and holding the phone just for the sake of it. Could this finally be love?? I feel like I just found a great girl and stopped going out trying to get with club chicks. lol!
Even when I go to the tech sites and checking out the new phones coming out in Barcelona, I'm like meh, I got a good "girl" at home, I'm not lusting after them. Damn, I must be getting old! hahahaha!
Yeah I said the same thing. Why did sense have so many features from espresso with the sliding bars and such only phone I even consider was the desire s cause it reminded me of the nexus one.

i share the same love as u guys. it's simple, the device meets our needs for an internet phone, and more, once rooted. how can u not fall in love with it? if u get a fully functional one, i mean.
I love this phone too! No other phone can compare yet. I'm like you, I always go for the newest toy but I've been holding on. However, the Optimus 2x might win me over.
Normally I am looking for a new phone by now (always like the latest tech) but not so much with this phone. It might take the next mytouch to get me away from my current one. I've said this many times, this phone just works.
Same here, I've changed phones a lot recently, jumping on the newest one out. At this point though, I'm acknowledging more that this phone can do pretty much everything the newest ones out can do.
About dual cores, I say "Eh.." Higher megapixel camera? Eh.. NFC? That won't be useful until maybe late this year.
Until something groundbreaking comes out that this phone can't do or do well, I'm sticking with it.
Yeah, this phone is rockin'. Even a lot of the newer phones being announced are still below spec compared to this phone - even more so when rooted, devoid of bloat, and OCed. It'll probably take a year before this thing is made "obsolete." This and the HTC Thunderbolt are the most exciting phones right now IMO.
agreed. im so happy i got to own a good one in the end. it freakin flyes.
i love my phone....
I agree 100%. My wife often tells me I'm cheating on her with my phone, my on reply is, "Sorry babe it's the other way around, I'm cheating on my phone with you." Drives her nuts. I gave her my Vibrant and traded my HD7 to get the myTouch, and I'm not getting rid of "her" anytime soon...

hd7 was boring to me, only two screens and the only customization you could do is change the color and add tiles....
id say the only kewl feature was having xbox live on it and being able to play games and unlock achievements....

As a hd7/windows phone 7 user, i say go for it
it is a great phone and much more than 2 screens and you will love the experience with it vs android
and the social networking aspect of wp7 is definitely much better then what android has to offer(unless u get a blur device)
most ppl saying no to the hd7 are biased towards android
and if it's too big, that's why they have different variations of phones

I was holding out getting the mt4g for a long time because I knew there was something better right around the corner (isn't there aways something right around the corner hah). Once I heard the rumors of the optimus 2x coming to tmobile, u knew u was right to wait. But then tmobile ran the free mt4g promotion last week. It was too good a deal to pass up, so I jumped on it. No regrets.

Win7 Phone OS is just plain boring to me coming from android there's no customization you can actually do maybe if we give the OS a year or so they'll be able to step it up and listen to the community. I get the feeling Win7 users are mostly coming from BBs.
Hmmmmmm, has anyone upgraded from a HD2?
I had a HD7 and it's just sad. No ability to customze anything.
So, I kept my HD2. I install ROMs as often as I change clothes. But, it is getting old.
I really want a Robot native device that performs well and has 4G capability.
The wife has a Vibrant and holly crap. That thing is the bigest pile of crap. I feel bad that I got it for her. It's slow, the XDA Support sucks since no one really seems to like it.
I been seeing the MyTouch 4g and it seems intersting.
Thoughts?
My thoughts after picking up a Nexus S on Friday
I have been trying figure out what phone to get next after the Captivate for a few months now. Cappy is a great phone however considering all the stuff we had to do to it just to get the phone working right it has sometimes been a love hate relationship. Lag, GPS, lack of updates etc...
When the SGSII came out I saw just about everybody abandon the Cappy even those that swore that they would never buy another Samsung phone again after all the issues with the early Cappy builds. SGS2 is an incredible phone with no major issues and it tempted me greatly but I did not want to deal with getting updates from Samsung and AT&T anymore. The new Nexus Galaxy is the phone to get but at the price they will be asking it just doesn't appeal to me along with the size of the phone. I am not a big gamer, nor do I watch movies on my phone so having a gigantic phone is not very practical since it's my work phone too.
That lead me to the Nexus S which I had always wanted and they are so cheap now that they are a steal.
Gingerbread 2.3.4 right out of the box and about an hour after I had everything set up I rec'd a notice on my phone that the ota update to 2.3.6 was ready to flash. Now that's how updates should work. Smooth, fast and everything works without any tweaking and battery life is great so far. I don't feel the need to do anything beyond rooting at the moment and Ice Cream Sandwich is right around the corner.
Yeah, blah blah blah, no 720P native playback or recording but why watch movies on my phone when I have a 60" big screen.
Cappy relegated to backup status for now!
I agree fully with the update thing.
Btw nice name Roof King
I am not amused by your phones performance

Htc makes some decent phones but Samsung is kicking their a$$ right now. They are dominating the market with some sweet phones and that's why Google is sticking with Sammy for the nexus line. Plus the screen to rule all other screens.

Hey guys, Just letting you all know I will be ditching the One S tomorrow... I've got the Galaxy Note.
I know your thinking ''WTF?!?!?!'' But i had so many issues with the One S (signal related) it was driving me mad, I was offered the S3 (at a hefty price) or the Note, for free, So I took it.
When I first saw the Note I thought ''OMG Thats Hideous, Its waaaay too big'' But the more I saw it, the more I liked it !
My other contract is up soon so I will get the SGS3 then.
So thanks to every one who helped me since day one, I will be moving on to the Note forums as of tomorrow
I will still keep my Help Thread updated as much as possible, And will continue to help as and when I can.
Take care & good bye

I'm also considering to leave if I can except I just can't agree to pay the same price for a Galaxy Nexus that have much lower specs everywhere except with the screen and software side... (It's my only choice on my carrier (screw the Razr will ya?))
You are really lucky to have other choices like a Note.
I can't believe that HTC didn't offer a fix for the low signal... Oh, and there still no way to use Skype which I will really need starting next week...

hey azzledazzle,
i really appreciated the way you where getting on top of the issue with the virtual button mess, really liked your input. i counted you in for one who's pushing the issue further with HTC.
So, i find it a bit hard that you "gave up" on it but totally understandable on the other side. My One S is literally doing my head in (wife threw it at me in anger) with that perfectly unusable state its in. It sits there, playing with its screen and buttons just like its gotten its own mind but i cant make it do anything else most of the time.
So if it was like that for you, i can only repeat myself: i do understand. Still i find it a bit sad.
my opinion on the note: am working on it for my brother and i find it disappointing. Samsungs surface is stupid, KIES is like having one leg amputated, cant really go anywhere with that code, the phone hides anyones head while at it (just for the lolz of it), its too big. seriously.
And as a tablet, its too small. But as i said, my opinion
Good luck on your new adventures mister Azzle!
Hey mate,
Have fun with the Note, its been my primary device for 7 months now. Its a great phone. After a while its size becomes normal.
As for the comments above, i find it a perfect size, its like having a tab on you at all times. My only gripe is touchwiz, i do prefer sense.
Peace!

I can't say as I blame you. I getting pretty sick of my One S. Brilliant phone except it has next door to useless signal reception. It spends 3 to 4 hours a day without signal - which irritates when I know signal is good. What to replace with I dunno but this issue is likely to sicken me off HTC. Won't be the Note though as far too big for me :laugh:
Galaxy nexus
Same here. After two months I am getting rid of it for Galaxy nexus $349 from the play store. We have minimal support for this device. Thanks to cm9 devs anyways.
It make no good to have powerfull phone that cannot multitask or have no completed custom ROM. And now Jelly Bean. By the time ONE S gets JB Google will announce next nexus probably this fall with KEY LIME 5.0
Better have slightly outdated hardware that prrobably will not be much noticable and have up to date software, vanilla or custom ROM with no issues.
And HTC and their delayed kernel source release. SIII released it before device was on the market. That how you get developers love.
I really wanted to love this phone, but yesterday I had a chance to exchange it for a new one in the box to see if it fixed my signal/wifi issues or get the Galaxy S3. Every smartphone I have owned has been HTC so I was nervous, but I opted for the S3 and all I can say is wow. It's an awesome phone and completely blows the One S out of the water for my needs.
I knew going into the the One S I would be making concessions on things I wanted such as an SD card slot and removable battery. Its a super sexy phone, but if you can't use it as a phone it does me no good, too many dropped/missed calls and poor wifi. I hope they do fix the signal issues for those who keep it and I'm glad some people were experiencing no problems.
HTC really needs to up their game on the next round of phones, I gave them extensive feedback online and they even called to follow up, which was nice. I told them I have owned a G1, MT3GS, G2, MT4GS and One S and enjoyed them all with the exception of the OS. I did have a seperate issue with them concerning the MT4GS and replacement parts that irritated me as well.
Best of luck to you all and thank you for all the help and resources from this forum!

I have a Galaxy Nexus, and it's great! It's for Verizon tho' (Payment for flashings an Evo 3D to boost). I mainly use it as a Gaming system. It's amazing, the screen size makes up for a lot. I have Parinoid android on it, and SlideMe keyboard. Makes it perfect. Plus! You'll never have to worry about updates, or ROMs. Offical updates from Google are quick, and let's say there isn't a lack of ROMs.

I would go for the Nexus if you like flashing ROMs. The design is also notably superior.
However, the camera pales in comparison to ours, especially in lowlight.
Also, we have a keyboard.

It's not a bad camera. I just think ours is better.
It doesn't sound like you really need the Mytouch 4G Slide, so I would recommend selling and buying if you have your heart set on a Nexus.
I believe I read something about Google releasing new devices around November. Regardless, it might be better to wait for the next Nexus phone.

I want to start by saying that the physical keyboard wasn't a big selling point. I was shopping for a cheap phone with higher end hardware. The MT4GS fit the bill nicely, I have less than $150 in mine.
I still running the stock ROM and I just unlocked my MT4GS yesterday, still in S-ON mode. I am planning to try a couple of ROM soon.
I love the camera app, available memory (especially compared to the Garminfone and MT3GS I've previously owned).
I'm ok with the stock clock widget with integrated weather.
I hate the dialer app, why HTC / T-Mobile decided to switch from offering Favorites to offering Group Texting is beyond me.
Galaxy Nexus
I love the cleanliness of the stock Android experience, but I'm still not thrilled with the dialer app.
I've already added another calendar app to mimic the iPhone's month view with agenda below.
I love that this phone is running 4.1 before most manufacturers have pushed 4.0 to their phones.
I miss the Sense like clocks, I'll probably install Sense Analog Glass Clock at some point...
I worry about the robustness of the design. It's just soo thin and light. Which may be ok in my wife's purse, but my phone is usually in my back pocket.

This is exactly the kind of info I wanted to know, thank you. To the op, sorry for hijacking your thread for a minute there.
