Why would you downgrade? Thats retarded. Your going from a 1ghz Dualcore Tegra to a 1ghz Singlecore snapdragon? Have fun downgrading. Most smart people upgrade a device not a downgrade.

That's a very naive thing to say. Yes, the MT4G has a single core. But it's capable of doing anything the G2x can do. Actually, it has 50% more RAM than the G2x. So you don't have to worry about running out unlike the G2x. Also, the MT4G's GPS is 100x better than the G2x's ****ty GPS.
I actually have used both phones so I actually know what I'm talking about.
yeah I got a great deal on craigslist, I am doing a trade so I don't even have to pay anything, and the mt4g is in perfect condition with screen protector etc, whereas my g2x is a little dinged up, also the mt4g is gonna be stable and I don't have to worry about random reboots, plus they have some pretty awesome custom sense roms for it.
oh yeah and the cpu on the mt4g can be overclocked up to 1.9 ghz lol

Hey goodluck!
I think if I hadn't seen anything about the G2x and waited a little I would have went to the 4g, or the 4g Slide.
I came from a 3G Slide.
I bought a Samsung Galaxy S2 off Craigslist and I'm hesitant to move into it.
The phone is so huge, and I mean HUGE for me personal taste. I bought a case or and screen protector. I'm not really sure I'm going to keep the phone. Might just sell it back if I can't adjust.
I've complained about the G2X, but its funny, cause now that I have the "Best" android phone, I can't see myself leaving the G2X. Its just too big. Doesn't feel right to me
Still rocking my G2X but if I can't adjust, might just sell the Samsung Gs2 and wait for something else.

You realize a dual core 1GHz phone will beat a single core 1.9 GHz right? (not to mention you'll have horrible battery life at that clock speed seeing as your battery was made for single core at 1GHz. And not every phone can handle the same overclock, you could get a MT4G that can't even handle past 1GHz without freezing and reboots.)
Two cores at 1GHz = 2GHz power
One core at 1.9 = 1.9 GHz power.
Plus if you get a custom rom on here you don't get reboots, at least if you get off the bad 2.3.3 ROMs, the only 2.3.3 ROM I would ever use is Bionix reloaded.
I'm 100% stable.

What ****ty GPS? On every ROM I use now I get a lock in under 10 seconds, maybe you aren't giving the G2x the credit it deserves. If you had an optimized ROM/Kernel combo you wouldn't need more than 512mb RAM on this phone, and 256mb more RAM is NOT a substitute for a second core.
Ever tried running a Tegra 2 game on a MT4G? Or any CPU intensive game at all?

Lol, I've had a PSP for a few years now, and of course YOU would think your phone is better than hers, get a second opinion from anyone and they will tell you that your phone is nothing compared to any dual core phone.
Well I had to wait one more day to pick up the mt4g, so still thinking it through, of course right when I am about to trade it I dont get reboots since I flashed stock, I did post an ad on craigslist to see if anyone wanted to trade their mt4g slide since that would be a better trade. I get reboots on all the custom roms, although gotta say the best rom I have used is Eaglesblood, hardly any reboots and decent gps
Try new hfs 1.3. No hiccups for me. Best from I've ever used

I got my hands on a MyTouch 4G today and quickly installed Quadrant to see what kind of score it would produce.
I got screen shots but don't have permission to post pics or links...
put it up on your facebook? or flicka?
I just want to know for sure if it's dual core or not. Nobody seems to know.
well, I have a screen shot of the CPU info too
try this
hxxp://tinypic.com/r/2wc34sy/7
hxxp://tinypic.com/r/15wce9k/7
same CPU as the G2, just clocked higher
Quadrant score of 1908
CPU: ARMv7 rev1 (v7l) @ 1024 MHz
Cores: 1
and by the way, I took these screen shots after installing Shoot Me, and using VISIONary to temp root the phone. VISIONary is amazing! it gave me temporary root in seconds.
what were your general impressions of the phone? Does it appear to have a super-lcd screen?
http://www.intomobile.com/2010/10/22/mytouch-4g-benchmark/
the phone was quick and responsive. not sure about the screen, but it looked very similar to the G2 screen in my opinion, if that helps. the video calling with Qik worked better on WiFi than on 3G or HSPA (which would be expected), but I wouldn't say it was crystal clear. Overall it was nice and solid, and not as "plastic" feeling as previous MyTouch's
t-mobile employees got their hands on them last week when they did sort of a essay entry thing on why they should get the device, the winners were awarded with the device... It should be released for pre order within the next 2 weeks or so...
mark manning said:
We already know from tmobile it is not the same processor, You must not be very smart because the G2 has a qualcomm MSM7230 and the mytouch has a MSM8255

"Designed by HTC exclusively for T-Mobile, the new myTouch features a brilliant 3.8-inch WVGA touch-screen display with virtual keyboard and Swype® for easy text input. The thin and sleek device also comes with a blazing fast second-generation Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 1GHz MSM8255 processor optimized for speed and graphic performance, a 5-megapixel camera, a preinstalled 8 GB microSD memory card, and an integrated media player that brings together favorite music, video and internet radio under one set of controls."

As far as Ghz go... Snapdragon is 1Ghz proc and G2 runs circles around it with 800Mhz. So yes, it does matter which generation proc we get.
Then again, it's all about how phone feels in real life, that's the main reason I want to wait. I went to the store to check out HD2 when it was released. Oh boy was it a beast on paper. Oh boy what a dissapointment in real life.
Still, can't wait for MT4G
Snapdragon is 8XXX right?
They are all snapdragons, just different generation/architectures of the cpu and different configurations of cpu/gpu. I'm not really good with all that naming/code bs but from what I know, newer Snapdragons (the ones in G2 and MT4G) are way faster then older ones (N1, Evo, Incredible, etc) at the same clock speed. Think Intel Celeron and Pentium4 difference. But it's not all about speed neither. There's more to it, just check out the link.
http://www.qualcomm.com/products_services/chipsets/snapdragon.html
But, after seeing wirefly's video of MT4G, I don't even care anymore. Comes next week, I'll be picking mine up. In black.
What do you guys think about the Atrix 2? In my opinion its worse than the Atrix 4G
1500 mAh battery vs the 1930 mAh in the Atrix 4G
4.3 inch qHD vs the 4.0 inch qHD that the Atrix 4G has, I think its worse because it will be more pixelated...
Worse GPU...
Same CPU.....
The only thing that's better is the camera...
Why did Motorola even bother releasing this?

Atrix 2 NOOBS???
I know all my specs, I know all about the pros and cons... i know how to use other peoples mods... I'm not gonna tweak or assume someone is holding out,like others, because i'm not developing... I will Say I'm addicted and can't wait to root, mod kernel, and get a different rom going on this thing... i do love it but here are a few things i would love to see...
Root
Tegra Games (huge)
Webtop hack
Kernel (like faux's)
Maybe a new ROM
Honestly this phone is great, except for the fact that when i compared bench's to a stock sgsII I was annihilated...
Kudo's to the guys who do all this hard work (I know I couldn't do it)... Also Thanks for the guides for NOOBS!!! (Little more advanced here, clearly nowhere compared to some of you all)
To all the other noobs, quit freaking out you didn't develop anything... gotta appreciate the folks that do...
No issues with my ATRIX 2, battery lasts all day and no pentile screen rocks. Zero lag or stutters. Tons of ram woot!

OP, ive had both. Id take the atrix 2 all day.
Phone has no blur. Much quicker.
Phone is thinner
Screen is larger, pentile is gone, looks brighter / more like a SMOLED.
Camera is much better. Theres an actual camera button.
I for one, hated the position of the on / off / fingerprint scanner (never worked for me anyway). like the new one much better.
battery is better for me. I like the rubber back much better. wont get worn and shiny and quick.
Despite having the same ram / proc specs, it has a better shot of getting ice cream sandwich.

I am not going to argue about the rest as they are your personal preference and I respect that.
But better shot at getting ICS? Now why on earth would you say this considering that moto has only planned for ICS updates for phones on Verizon and has totally left out both Atrixes.
If you are referring to processor, then I would like to point out that the Xoom tablet has a Tegra 2 processor and Moto said it will get ICS.
I would like to see your reasoning behind this.

Just wanted to say goodbye! Pretty good phone over all, but i have to say the Amaze is soo much better/snappier/batterylife. I always felt like LG was crap in general. Their T.Vs were very poorly made, their everything sucks! LG OPtimus 2x Proved to be a mediocre device. HTC Amaze is well... amazing, and im happy to have moved on! Good bye G2x, you were great to me!
That's odd. everything i've heard about the amaze is that the battery life isn't very good. I checked out their development thread and read the same thing. Are you saying the battery life is better? If so then by how much?
Gotta tell you I put Arcee's ICS SK3 on this G2x of mine, and it feels like I'm using a Nexus device. I don't think the battery life is better on the Amaze IMO. What is better though is the camera. It has a dedicated camera button, and user uploaded images look nice, miles better than ours.
My G2x has fulfilled all my needs but I'd say the only thing mediocre about this phone is LG's support. They just can't be arsed to provide news on updates to us (left us out of the loop with this ass-handed comment "The exact start dates can vary by market, as each country can have different requirements, depending on the carrier and the smartphone model.". It basically means, blame T-Mobile if ICS takes too long), work with T-Mobile/Nvidia in terms of updates, kernels, drivers etc.. At least HTC cares about you guys in that department.
Well, best of luck to you on your future Amaze 4G endeavors!
After putting ICS on this phone I regret selling my other 2 g2x I had......Hell I sometimes use the g2x more than my galaxy nexus also.....the battery on this is epic compared to the galaxy nexus at times!!!

this device is nice, with ISC its much faster and battery life is better. never liked the HTC devices.
Agreed...other than screen size i wouldnt train this phone in right now....amoleds are nice but only when brightness is high....sure there are more powerful phones but its all numbers. Other than being able to brag on benchmarks most of the time most of us wouldnt notice

To each their own. I held out for my G2X to come out when it was one of the first dual core phones to come out with the intention of getting a good amount of mileage out of it since it was somewhat future proof, which was my main reason for staying away from the Galaxy Nexus S. Now that our awesome developers are starting to piece together ICS for the phone, I feel like it is finally reaching it's full potential. Battery life for me has been insanely good and this alpha build is incredibly stable for me as I have no problems running it as a daily driver. But HTC does make great phones, my first Android phone was the mytouch slide. The Mrs. still uses it, rooted and with cyanogen of course, and I'm still impressed with how solid of a phone it is. Hope you enjoy your Amaze!

So far my battery is at 90% and ive taken it off charge since about 10:00 AM EST -5 , with the g2x the same amount of usage it would have been at like 60% , i cant compare them side by side, the amaze feels better in my hand though, and MUCH more snappier. The 512 Ram kind of killed the phone a bit, compared to the 1GB the amaze has, camera blows it away, and sense is pretty nice, IMO. The device never heats up, never lags, never anything! maybe its just me but even with ICS, unless overclocked to 1.2Ghz atleast, it wouldnt be smooth at all! also this has the penta band frequency which is good over here in canada cause wind/mobilicity do not have 2g bands so yeah. Thats my imput. Also this phone is more beautiful in terms of looks. Its just so attractive!
What i do miss about G2x? - How easy it was to flash roms! i just got this device last night and im not going to flash any roms as of yet, but it seems too complex.
also my cousin owns the galaxy nexus and ic an say my amaze is much snappier overall even though it is on 2.3, but then again his screen resolution is a bit higer, and cpu is clocked less. Also screen on Gnexus is too blue-ish
Btw for the amaze their is a tool box that does everything for u, install drivers, s off and flash cwm and a rom all from the tool box. I'd say its pretty easy. They are even numbered in order on the toolbox
Edit: here is link for the tool box and I think in wrong about s off. Sorry never had an HTC phone so I don't know how s off or on works. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1493905

The amaze is actually ****ty compared to the G2x which can actually compete with the SGS2. The Amaze is ugly, has bad battery, will have s-off issues, and HTC has just always been **** imo everything HTC has released has been proven to be a pile of **** sooner or later (excluding the HD2). Anyways, the only thing wrong with the G2x is the stock software, and some of the ROMs here will really bring out the speed and battery life of it.
Have fun with your Amaze.

The device never heats up, never lags, never anything! maybe its just me but even with ICS, unless overclocked to 1.2Ghz atleast, it wouldnt be smooth at all! also this has the penta band frequency which is good over here in canada cause wind/mobilicity do not have 2g bands so yeah. Thats my imput. Also this phone is more beautiful in terms of looks. Its just so attractive!
What i do miss about G2x? - How easy it was to flash roms! i just got this device last night and im not going to flash any roms as of yet, but it seems too complex.
also my cousin owns the galaxy nexus and ic an say my amaze is much snappier overall even though it is on 2.3, but then again his screen resolution is a bit higer, and cpu is clocked less. Also screen on Gnexus is too blue-ish

It's gotta be user error, I have my G2x underclocked to 750 mhz and everything runs smooth as butter, and I can get over 2 days battery life easily.
But, to each his own, I may think HTC devices are ugly but beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
lol whats so ****ty about the amaze in your eyes? has better everything, s3 processor, better Gpu, more ram. The looks are debateable, some like the HTC some like the G2x better, you should not completly put a device down. The Amaze is just an upgraded Sensation in terms of everything, and maybe it was just me, but i reinstalled 2x version of ICS from CM9 with full wipesand everything. and thanksfor that link moehmad
Edit: also the screen on/off was actually a bit unresponsive on the g2x which always pissed me off
Np for the link, don't forget to tell me how everything goes for the root tool kit. I wanna use it for my friends phone but i haven't done anything to htc yet so I don't wanna ruin his phone. Also here is the link to install kernel cuz I don't think the tool kit has it, haven't checked in a while.

The fact that it will have s- on/off issues and that horrible heavy ass sense ui. Also, I don't understand people saying that the ICS roms are the smoothest they've tried on the G2x, if they are they've been doing something wrong with the Froyo/GB roms. Eaglesblood 2.3.7 with Trinity ELP kernel underclocked to 750 gave me the performance of a stock G2x at 1Ghz and gave me extremely long battery life. The ICS roms are not meant to be smooth yet, just to work and give G2x users a taste of ICS.
dont know anything about Amaze (specs do look good) but I have zero problems with G2x, built quality is good, fast, no lag, battery is very good on 1.1Ghz kernel. My next phone will be at least 720p with NFC and CM support.

yeah the blueish problem always happens with nexus phones, ROMs will calibrate the screen colors though.

For me this phone is now living up to it's full potential with ICS. I love the speed and stability that it now has. I am on a fixed income, so when I bought the G2X I knew it would have to be my phone for a long time.
Barring hardware issues, it looks like this phone will work great for me.
I could not be more fed up with the T-Mo G2x. I just listed it on Craigslist. I have had more problems with this phone that any other Android phone I've owned. I can not find a ROM that makes this phone run smoothly. I do not blame the devs in any way. They are just working with the crap that LG provided them. Anywho...to my question. I was wondering from those of you on T-Mobile what you thought the best replacement would be. I'm not eligible for an upgrade for another year so that is out of the question. I need a contract free phone and it needs to run on T-Mo's 3G or HSPA+ network. Thanks for your advice guys. I appreciate it. BTW...my budget is $350. My initial thoughts were either going back to a Nexus S, or going with an HTC Sensation.
Wait for the Huawei Ascend D Quad...

With pretty much any optimized CM ROM (Eaglesblood, Hellfire Phoenix) and a good kernel, well THE good kernel (trinity) your phone will fly. Could easily compete with the T-Mo Galaxy S2.
But, yeah, the next best thing to a G2x is a Galaxy S2, I think HTC phones are ugly, but if you like them I think T-mo has a few good ones.

Why do people think a single core phone can compete with a dual core phone? It just doesn't make sense to me.
Even with crap software a dual core phone beats a single core phone in sheer processing power, and then with custom ROMs it beats them in everything. Not to mention the G2x has Tegra 2.
I'm happy with my G2x's hardware, and the dev's here are amazing.
Can't blame you for being fed up with it. While I've never really had problems with it I know plenty have.
To me, you shouldn't have to constantly try to find a perfect combo of ROM and kernel to make a phone good. It should already be 100% working out of the box, and the G2x was far away from that.
Hopefully you can get something better! If you can try to trade it for a Nexus S. Nexus S has no problems and actually has a higher re-sale value than the G2x.
Anyways, good luck.
Try the ICS kang roms? I hate this phone too, although custom roms do seem to fix a lot of the issues I had with the g2x.
If you're looking for a different phone I would recommend the amaze/galaxy s2 or wait a few months for some of the new phones that were announced at MWC.

You can definately get the sensation on craigs list for under $350 if you are comfortable dealing on there, you may even get lucky and find an amaze for that price.

Are we getting it for sure on T mobile USA. Plus should I really trust their homemade apple pie(in-house developed quad core processor)???
I have used several international Huawei before and they all have been sub-par. they really are a budget phone maker and I don't want to be their Guinea pig for the high end market.
I would love to get my hands on A nokia pureview 808 if we can get CM on it and it doesn't take away from the camera.

I don't feel that I am missing out in any way shape or form. After having a Nexus S in the past and having used my mom's nexus s since the 4.0.3 update, I can tell you that it blows my G2X out of the water. Single core or not, I will take a bugless interface over what I have been dealing with on the G2X. I am unable to keep it on for more than an hour at a time, at which point I get the sleep of death. This is my 3rd G2X and they have all had the same issues. I have tried every custom rom and every kernel and every combination in between. I am experienced with flashing roms and kernels and can not for the life of me make this phone worth anything. I'm done with it. So yeah...I am considering going back to the Nexus S.
One more thing. Thank you so much to all of the devs for the G2X. Thanks for all of the work that all of you have put in trying to make this phone everything it should be. You are very much appreciated.

You are lucky my friend. I haven't owned one yet that doesn't suffer from the sleep of death. It truly makes me sad as the G2X really is one hell of an handset.

Then I can get the first round of 6 core processor phones early next year....I can be hopeful right????

You must've just gotten bad hardware, but I wouldn't try again to see if you got good hardware on this phone, I guess I was lucky as my G2x is smooth as butter and bugless.
Also if you still have your G2x, try raising the minimum frequency using SetCPU as many said that fixed their problem, but if you don't then don't worry about it.
Have fun with your Nexus S, because even though it's hardware can't compare, you'll still have complete google support and be among the first to get 4.1.x.

I actually switched from a Nexus S to the G2X. I never had an issue with it in any way. I just couldn't resist some dual core goodness with the G2X came out. I regret ever switching at this point. Someone just offered me $240 for the G2X which goes pretty much for what they are selling on Ebay and on Amazon. I think I'm gonna do it. Anyone have any suggestions of other places to sell it for more?

That's why I always keep my previous phone for a couple months after upgrading.
Take that deal, because of the G2x's bad rep most people sell them for around 50-100$, but you've got a sucker on your hands, so sell it quickly before he smartens up.
Although, I've seen some people say their G2x was bad and then when someone else bought it the other person was able to have a stable clock speed of 1.66 with undervolting which is extremely intense, so you may be the sucker .
But yeah, if you don't like it, sell it to that guy.
EDIT: also the SODs can be caused by your battery, you may have gotten a faulty battery from LG (like many others.)

I had the same problems with mine up until about a week ago. I read an article that stated it wasn't the phones problem but a battery problem due to LG batteries having a bad batch and overall suck. I ordered a anker battery off of eBay and guess what? I have not had one single issue again for a week straight. Same rom and kernel as before. So to anyone having issues and are using the stock battery replace it with a non OEM brand.

A lot of us here on XDA have been anticipating this phone's release. Turns out the specs are almost the same as our old MT4GS. Let your anger out here if you wish OR are some going for it anyways? Also, looks like Tmo USA is getting the Note 2. Are some gonna just hope on that instead? If any touch screen device can replace a QWERTY, its definitely the Note. Plenty of screen real estate for typing. What do you guys think?
UPDATE:
Seems like tmobile made a mistake. Surprise surprise!

Still lacks a decent camera (I know MP don't mean everything. Lens quality and image processor matter much more.), extra ram, etc.... I may wait for the Note 2, the alleged 5 Nexuseseses, blah blah blah before deciding for sure. I still am enjoying my DS especially since CM9 runs butter smooth and flawless now
I don't see any advantage on this other than having support from tmobile & has official ICS ROM. Also does this have FM Radio? I only hunt phones with qwerty keyboard and FM radio prebuilt

I agree... guess I should have clarified in the op that the original guess/rumor was that this phone would have 720 HD 4" screen and a S4 processor. That's why I posted the release info cause it was such a downer plus a few of us had been waiting on confirmation here. I'm not sure if Samsung normally has FM radio though. I'm using stuff like Sirius XM/Pandora so I hardly touch that FM dial anymore. It seems like this is a lower mid range model instead of the SGSIII with a keyboard that it was rumored to be

galaxy S Series has FM Radios built into them that's why I asked.
difference in performance between s3 & s4 processors is just 15%. The 1GB RAM & 4inch display seems to be catchy but keeps me thinking if the 15% processing power + 250mb addin ram would convince me in spending another few hundred bucks?
The 4inch screen is a turn off for me I find 3.7 perfect already.
Also what about the camera?
And regarding NFC I don't find it very useful(at least in our country where most people are still stuck with no OS phones.
So... For me unless I render my phone unuseable or a new phone has something which would make a big difference compared to my current phone I guess I'll be sticking with my current one.

Hehehhe! I hear ya... I was more interested in the S4's power saving/gpu improvement vs the cpu performance. I've heard that range from 15 to 30% I guess it just depends on each application, really... I think 4" is the perfect size for a qwerty. I'd might even like to see bigger lol! (Probably would a huge ass brick, right?) Yeah, I don't know much about Samsung (had no idea about the FM on the Galaxy models) but as long as HTC keeps the attitude that qwertys are dead... Samsung is my second choice, I guess. I'm still liking my DS for now. My contract is up in October and this was gonna be my upgrade. Oh well... I'll hang around for the next or pick up that Note 2. NFC hasn't really picked up anywhere even in the old USA. Well, maybe a few of the bigger cities use them more so... I don't know.
I might still want to jump ship to the Samsung slider.

Since my MT4GS is less than 1 year old, I'm going to wait until the next Nexus debuts. I've decided that from now on I will only buy Nexus products. I'm sick of the bull**** from HTC and other manufacturers and their lame-ass excuses for not producing an update. HTC can suck my ***. I will miss Sense UI, though. I'm one of the few, it seems, that prefers how Sense works and looks.
I will probably getting the Note. Now that my phone got bricked about two months ago by the faulty recovery and all HTC has been doing of late is churning out excuses instead of making updates for this device.
I will shelve my brick so it works as a reminder that I shoudl never buy another HTC device again.

Thanks for the PM. I understand. I am actually just disappointed in HTC for making devs jump through so many hurdles to get anything done on this device, and further frustrate them by not releasing source. The only reason why their sales are suffering is because they don't listen.
I have been reading up on the problem and looking through the forums to see what other devices used to fix this problem. And with Samsung it was simply restocking with odin or using heimdal tool.
I will definitely be sending it because I love its camera to bits. It really takes good photos. Once my friend put his OneX up against my MT4GS and it ended up taking better close ups than the OneX because it seemed to have a better auto focus.
I will be saving up for the first note to replace my G2(which has seen better days) if I manage to get this fixed.

This device is pretty epic. I can live with a 5mpx camera no problem. It's a really nice looking device. I've grown tired with Sense, and HTC in general. BUT Walmart is now selling the TMO version on GSII. It's off contract, and only 300 bucks. That's a deal.
update!
Hmmm... Seems like the specs are conflicting still. Check this out: http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SGH-T699DABTMB-specs It clearly shows the MSM8260A as the processor type which is a S4. Confirm that here: http://www.qualcomm.com/chipsets/snapdragon However, David (tmonews editor) is still claiming that both his press releases (tmobile and samsung) show the device having the S3. Someone screwed up big time lol! I feel that only a S4 makes sense at time but I guess its still a mystery?!
I am very interested in this new keyboard Galaxy, hopefully an GalaxySIII variant with S4 or Tegra3 chipset.
two key reasons: the Doubleshot is a rare device and never sold outside USA, so here in the UK I'm living on luck in terms of support of UK/European 3G operators.
secondly: five row keyboard.
also hoping for good performance without battery compromise. I am actively using my DShot for about three hours a day (starting about 7:30am over breakfast, on the bus into work and back, and a while in the evening before bed at 11:30pm) and the battery is usually exhausted!
If you're still using the stock battery that's at least part of the problem. If you were to get an Anker or Mugen battery and run a debloated version of the stock ROM so you could keep your original camera and it's functions you'd really see a difference. I sure did.
Having a 5 row qwerty again sure would be nice.

Totally relevant! It's nice to see my old brothers in the G2 section lol! And I couldn't agree with ya more... this device would have been huge with the dual core processor qwerty and bad ass camera (that is STILL one the best around!)
It will be quite some time, before dev action pics up on that device (if ever). So jumping into that phone right now would be a bad idea, unless you want to dev.
It's been a little more than a year since the DS came out, and we now have many roms to choose from. So think of how long this will take
Does anyone know if the internals of this new phone are based on the internals of another Galaxy phone? That would make porting a lot easier and also speed up devving.
But by the looks of it, I am liking this phone design a lot. Has everything I need, including a trackpad. Now, as long as they keep the physical size down, I may consider getting one.

The phone is not yet released so can't really say. But judging by the hardware specs. It looks like a SGS II.
Regarding development support... There's already SGS III which obviously is 1 fold greater than this device + relay 4g is also a tmobile exclusive. I don't see any samsung devs downgrading just to support this device(except maybe dedicated community devs like cyanogenmod etc.). For all I know the only persons which will be attracted on this device are keyboard enthusiasts like me. But I just got a mt4gs & relay 4g isn't that of a big difference with mt4gs anyways. So I'll pass on this phone for now. And if ever I decided to go samsung with qwerty I would rather choose samsung captivate glide instead. At least the specs are far more superior than relay 4g.
Tegra 2 = Cortex A9 Processor
Snapdragon S3 = Cortex A8 Processor
It's like a 1.5ghz celeron processor vs a 1ghz Pentium 4
And by the way Samsung captivate glide isn't even officially supported by cyanogenmod. So relay 4g being a much lower spec'd device do you think they'd get alot more support than captivate glide?

See what I mean? Captivate glide is also getting official ICS upgrade anyways.
