Just this morning been offered an HTC One S to replace my 4g slide from TMobile. Because I could then put my slide on Craigslist I would actually make money but my question is, would it be worth it?
From a few Google searches I've done it seems there's not a lot between the two, plus I absolutely love my slide. I also used the 'search' feature here and didn't find anything.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Hey if u want ur mytouch wanna give me the one s and ill give u my mytouch

Wat do ya mean just give tmobile the mytouch get the one s, and then we trade
But it doesn't seem like u want to trade
Thanks though

Dude, go to the trade thread. Your questions make zero sense to me.
First off, there is a HUGE DIFFERENCE between the two. The One S has the S4 processor which it way more advanced (and battery efficient) than the S3 in our MT4GS. Secondly, like someone else said, you can't compare a qwerty to a slim model. And finally, it's obvious that tmobile was offering you a trade because of a defect or something so you wouldn't keep both lol!
Why do people 'lol' when making statements that are factually incorrect?
I own the mytouch 4g slide, paid for and have no clue as to why you would assume it's an exchange.
Thanks for the other information.

Hahahahha! that is very true about the lol part It's really become similar to "like" and is overused and seemingly out of context even by myself sometimes. I figured you were referring to an exchange when you stated they offered you one. Sometimes they offer you a different model on an exchange so I thought that was this case for some reason. But yeah, read about the new S4 processor. It's a real beast and is even comparable to the new quadcores
Thanks, I appreciate the advice.
And to be fair, by using the term 'replace' in the original post I can see how the misunderstanding arose.
I had a mytouch 3g from TMob, gave it to my wife and bought a slide privately and have now been offered an HTC One S, thus giving me the ability to sell one or other when the One S arrives.
Just wanted to know if anyone had experience of both, that's all, but I do appreciate your time.
And just to clarify the reason for asking, I absolutely love the performance of the slide and the only two complaints I have would be the weight and the fact I've never used the keyboard as intended (my fault/choice obviously)
So in knowing I can do without the keyboard it became a tougher choice in as much as, I really do love the slide .
I'd say my main uses of the phone are streaming radio and video whilst using a proxy, (overseas region protected content) and for that the slide has been brilliant but if I thought I could get more performance for those tasks I'd swap over.

Why not get the one s, and before you sell your slide, play with it for a few days. If you don't like it, return it.
That's actually a really good idea, thanks.

The one S is slick, my boy has one and he let me play with it for a few. First thing I did was benchmark the S4, close to 7k he isn't rooted or anything so I thought that was impressive. He's running ICS which has some pretty nice features. Plus the imaging chip the one series has allows a still photo to be taken while recording a video which I was excited to see. I would ditch my doubleshot in a heartbeat for a one series phone.

That's what I'm talking about, losangeles100 With benchmarks that freaking high (almost twice what ours run at) plus the fact that you don't use the qwerty keyboard... I'd go for it too. Although, I'm not sure that I could handle lack of removable battery or sd card The battery life is supposed to be good on the S4 so you might be good to go. Hell, it's gotten be alot better than our battery hungry S3
I agree with the point about the battery, like you say, can't be any worse than what we have. As for non-removable storage, it's obviously a tried and tested method on other phones/manufacturers and I can only think the research has been done as regards performance. I'd be a lot more nervous if this was the first of its kind.
I'm going to test it and I will report back with a personal view as to the pros/cons if any.

Hi!
I returned my Samsung Galaxy S2 back to the store and am now waiting for the HTC Sensation. While the Galaxy S2 is a nice phone, I really despise the TouchWiz. Even with ADW Launcher EX & WidgetLocker mitigating the terribleness of the interface Samsung has built, the stock apps still are very uncomfortable to use - especially e-mail, messaging and calendar are lacking. And most of their other attempts at apps aren't any better - dismal at best.
The back cover is unpleasant to remove which is peeving if you like to switch the battery to a fresh one (although spare batteries are not released till mid-june) or regularly move between different countries and therefore like to change SIMs (like I do).
I also would have preferred a capacitive home-button, instead of a physical switch.
Other bugs (which will probably soon be patched) are bothersome as well, like the 3G data connection regularly stalling - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1097612
Specs-wise I think having a higher resolution screen will be a very nice addition, the lower amount of RAM & internal storage probably won't be all that noticeable. I wonder why HTC didn't include an HSPA+ radio, but I think that is something I can definitively live with.
Are any other Samsung Galaxy S2 expatriates lurking on this board? What were your Galaxy-experiences, why are you now waiting for the HTC Sensation instead?
you are in for a bashing.. but good luck

Why? He shared a consice rational review based on how the phone met his expectations. With OP having owned a SGS2 I look forward to a direct comparison to the Sensation by someone who has used them both as their daily driver.

I fully charged my SGS2 and turned on Google latitude (As i was travailing), my phone was in the belt pouch, after about three hours i pull the phone out to make a phone call i found my phone burning hot and battery was almost drained. Couldn't bare any more.
I came back home after few days, returned SGS2 and got Sensation.
Sensation is so far so good, Over all very satisfied.

I didn't mean to paint you as a fanboy. By the same token I'm not a fanboy either. Before the disaster that was the G2X my last five phone's were HTCs and I really liked all of them. I had to get the SGS2 because the Sensation wouldn't have been availbale before the G2X had to be returned to T-Mobile. I would have seriously considered the Sensation if that wasn't the case. I'm a phone geek which is why I'm following the Sensation; not to bash it. Both phones are going to have considerable strengths and weaknesses. We should be able to discuss them without threads turning in to page after page of "yes it is," "no it isn't." Peace.

I disappoint... Galaxy S II is much better!
Since 2003 I'm a HTC sure user but now I have to disappoint at all with you and with HTC!
I'm very sorry the new sensation is just considered worse than Galaxy S II but we have to admit this is the thuth!
1) Also if the Galaxy Display resolution (480x800pxl) is lower than htc sens (540x960) its technology is better than htc because is "amoled" and so we have a lower battery consuption, better coulor and luminosity, and better view when there is much sunlight
2) RAM: 1024Mb for Galaxy, 768Mb for htc: no words.....
3) Internal memory: 16Gb or 32Gb (depends by the phone version) for Galaxy while htc sens have got just 1GB! no words still!!
4) cameras: Samsung first one 8mpxl, second one (frontal) 2mpxl; for htc sens is 8mpxl the first one too, but 1.3mpxl the sencond one....
5) battery consuption: with a very similar usage Galaxy SII lasts about 2 full days, while HTC sens just 1/1,5days
I'm very sad to tell it but this time I'll change and I'll buy a Samsung...
Good decision OP, who cares about SamSux. I'll give give them 2-3 month and all hell will break lose in there. SamSux bashing SamSux, look at our development section phones isn't release and no clockwork mod yet and we have 3 roms already. That just tells you HTC is more superior than SamSux. Untill they change their filesystem, HTC will be prefer choice for dev community. Don't matter what spec they have.

I loved the fact that the Galaxy S2 is a very sleek design, thin and light. But the drawbacks - especially in the software area - are very obvious. Their replacements of stock Google apps are, in general, not better but much worse than the original. Plenty of bugs still plague the software - the current version of Music player causes random reboots, data connection is stalling all the time.
Sense (from what I could test on colleagues phones - mainly Desire HD) seems much more thought out and usable to me. I will, still, probably switch to a stock Android ROM, should one arise. But I don't want to be dependent on that.

While AMOLED certainly does produce excellent black levels and saturated colours (maybe even oversaturated), after owning a Nexus One with AMOLED since release I do think the drawback of the technology is the inevitable screen burn-in you get after a few months of use. Nothing that is really bothersome, but LCD technology certainly does have its advantages (besides the higher resolution)

Considering the high RAM usage of Sense, 1GB would have been nice - but still, 768MB should be plenty.

The actual available application memory on the Galaxy S2 is about 2GB, the rest is formated as an internal SD card. In my situation, I typically have about 500MB of app space used - 2GB would have been a nice, but that will still leave me with plenty of headroom once my Sensation is here. A 32GB SD-card will take care of all other storage problems (mainly podcasts, music).

This will vary greatly, but the battery access cover on the Galaxy S2 is very flimsy and uncomfortable to remove. I always carry a second battery for my Nexus One, I will do the same for my Sensation. Changing batteries on the Galaxy S2 (as soon as replacements are available in stores) will be a hassle.
i've done the opposite i've got rid of my sensation and have back ordered the sgs2 the biggest killer for me was the locked bootloader
i know that htc have said they wont lock any more phones but as yet they havent said that they will unlock previous handsets
i know i'm going to get flamed but i really didnt like the sensation it just didnt sit in my hand properly the sgs2 feels better ...... i know it feels cheaper but whats the point in having the expensive feeling phone if it feels wrong in your hand and therefore is difficult to use

You may get flamed by some of the fanboys, but at the end of the day it's all about what feels good to YOU and stuff the rest. I again prefer the more solid feel and try to avoid "cheap" plasticky feel, plus have been put off by plenty of users in many forums I've been to who knock Samsung's lack of updates. Hopefully for you they sort this out. Good luck with your choice
I probably still have a month or 2 before the Sensation is available here, and am hoping for some positive news re the bootloader saga.

I currently have a G2x as well as the Atrix. Ordered the Sensation and the SGS2 as well. Been using both the G2x and the Atrix for a while now and so far, I'm inclined towards the Atrix even though it has the locked bootloader simply because Ive had too many random reboot issues, freeze issues with the G2x (even though I've returned it twice) and I'm not concerned about the light bleed issue.
Once I've received the SGS2 and the Sensation (This Tuesday woohooo!!), I'll have all 4 to test with side by side. Will narrow it down to the top 2 and those are the ones I'm keeping I usually have 2 phones (1 work, 1 personal). If anyone has any suggestions or want me to look at/compare something in specific, let me know.

I hardly ever start posts like this, but I just felt I needed to say that this phone is freaking awesome. In the past year and a half, I have had the hd2, mytouch4g, g2x (briefly), and was seriously considering buying the gs2. As a matter of fact, when I received this phone as a warranty for the mt4g, I said "well, it will hold me over until the gs2 comes out/I have money for it." I don't even want that thing anymore. I truly feel this phone is one of the best on the markets, if not the best. The best camera, tv out, excellent processor and memory, and a fine hardware keyboard. Never thought I would use the last one as much as I do now.
At the beginning, this phone was lacking in devs, but romanb, blue, and undead breathed new life into it. Now we are getting more and more devs who can only bring more to the table. My hat's off to all the devs. I think from here, this phone can only go up. Truly one of the most overlooked phones imo.
I agree, this is one of the best! I have a feeling that it is just going to get better, I am seeing more and more new people over here, so maybe we will finally get the attention this phone deserves. I always have the best phone out of most groups of people. I even amazed an Iphone user the other day. (everyone at my school has Iphones, I don't know why).

We really need to push more G2 owners to move to this device.
I was playing GTA 3 on my G2, and you could tell the hardware had reached its limit. Not bad, but laggy at times. I know it's asking a lot from my phone, but it made me realize that it's not as invincible as I thought. OCed to 2GHz and you could cook an egg on the back of it.
This phone has just that much beef under the hood. Exactly what I need
I like the phone Just wish it was thinner and had a bigger screen. But Pyro Ice is great.. Really hoping for CM9.

It's actually not that different in terms of size compared to the MyTouch 4G.
A little thicker and heavier because of the keyboard, but very impressive
Best part about this phone is that it will outlast the devices from its time, ie Sensation both XE and 4G, Amze 4G. Most of these devices have a much higher resolution than the DS, 9xx by 5xx vs 840 by 480, thus the adreno 220 on the DS will be able to handle more load before it hits its ceiling.

That's the truth, depends on the preference. The phones are basically the same (1.2ghz processor, 786MB RAM, 8mp cam, front facing cam, etc). Sensation has a bigger screen resolution, so if you prefer that to the physical keyboard then yeah, go for it. Don't know how ROMs are on it but I'm sure you've done your research. I use my keyboard a fair amount. Hate that good sliders are a dying breed...
The sensation has one of bthe most roms. Sense 3.0 sense 3.5 sense 4.0. Miui. Aosp. Aokp. Cm7. Cm9.

I switched from the MT4GS to the Sensation and I can tell you that it doesn't suck. The only limitation is the lack of keyboard, because otherwise the developer support is unparalleled. Anything you could want, you can get with this phone. True, the camera isn't as good as the slide, but it's serviceable. The screen is nicer and larger than the slide. Doesn't come with Swype natively though, you have to download it. But you'll enjoy the amount of ROMs they have that all function well. i literally have never experienced lag, but I was off of stock within minutes

Reading your thread I think you bought wrong phone for yourself. Apparently you don't need keyboard at all.
Few days ago I was playing with Sensation. I don't know why some guys said it here, but the one I have played with did NOT feel laggy at all. I passed on it because I prefer actual keyboard.
It has same amount of RAM which is not too great but it also is not that bad, and it has same dual core CPU, almost everything else is similar except the screen and keyboard. It is a bit bigger than Slide but it still fits in a pocket and looks like phone (unlike some half-laptops/tablets that are in fashion nowadays, for which you'll need some servant to carry it for you if you happen to wear shorts lol)
IMO: yes, if you can sell your Slide higher than you'll pay for Sensation I'd say go for it - you get larger screen 4.x'' with higher resolution 1280x720 and you'll keep some cash. Go for it!
edit- my first choice was actually Samsung Glide (1GB RAM), but I passed on it because of 2 main reasons: everything made by Samsung I ever had always turned out unfortunately to be a huge P.o.S. (really, maybe I was unlucky one, but that's true in my case and I can long elaborate with details here) and second reason was that Glide has radios working only with Robbers in Canada, and I will NEVER become one of their customers ever again.

Yeah...now I am feeling a little torn...I have found the Galaxy s2 for 325 as well...but I am torn between Sense (Sensation) or the Galaxy s2....I told myself I would never own a crapsung but I hear a lot of good things about the s2......

Id wait for the tmo GS3 if I were you anyway. Unless your in high need of a new phone. Careful not to get scammed.
Galaxy Note is a nice phone. Just get the N7000, I've used it 100% stock. Best experience ever, and the SCREEN IS AMAZING.

S-OFF or ON?
What color?
How beat up does it look?
Anything not working right on it?
Including the original packaging, sdcard, usb adaptor and cable...battery? Aftermarket any of these things? Any missing?
Anything else that should be known about the device?
----
If already S-OFF that could be attractive to someone who doesn't want to do the S-OFF method we have for current software devices.
Including all the original stuff will help you see the value you want.
I wouldn't flash any other software to it unless it's back to some stock form, and I wouldn't reverse it to S-ON if already OFF.
I've got to get my finances back in order again, but in a month or two i'll be looking to buy a third slide again. (Found a mint silver one - Yay! ... rather, one found me due to a kindness of a member here.)
I've been thinking about picking up a few sensations too, they play nice with the doubleshot and the coding is so similar it's not worth mentioning for most, so ...
...you will enjoy it if you get it, but i'd appreciate if you come back to this thread and do a comparison of the two devices, whatever else you get, after you've played with it for a little while to get a decent feel for it.
Best of luck to you in what you want to do - if you don't use the keyboard then the sensation is a better choice - essentially the same phone, and MHL is smoother then our RCA tv-out, if more cumbersome.
Hmm might have a Galaxy s2 for 280....if it is in good condition I don't think I could turn this down....
Yeah I think s-off is a good selling point..it is a challenge and not for the faint of heart...

Na, for the fact that the galaxy nexus dosent have a keyboard. If you don't care much for the keyborad then go for it, there are a ton of roms so you'll never get bored with it. I actually bought the galaxy s2 cause I didn't think id miss the keyboard but 2 weeks later I sold it cause it didn't have a keyboard and now I'm back on my mt4gs

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 have both phones in my house. I have a MT4GS picked up off eBay and I bought a Galaxy Nexus for my wife, just so she'd quit complaining about her iPhone 3GS's data issues on T-Mobile.
MT4GS
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.
I get frustrated with HTC and AT&T and think about jumping ship, but now that I've had my 1X for a while, I just couldn't bear to give up the camera and associated app (mainly burst mode & the ability to take hi res stills while recording HD video).
I just wondered how many people felt the same and/or what that special feature is for you? Do you wish it was available on other phones? Or from other OEMs?
Billy
1. I hope you are not serious when you say you couldnt live without a phone
2. There is a Q&A section, maybe you need to address your questions there
3. See a doctor if #1 is true

i absolutely love my One X, I don't think I could ever go without it. I love the camera and the speed. It was a little frustrating to deal with multitasking for a while but they sent out the update and fixed quickly. This is the kind of phone that looks like it had a lot of thought that went into designing it.
There were many times where I expected people to start jumping ship when it came to HTC, although I think they have redeemed themselves. HTC was releasing too many cheap phones too frequently. They needed to stop and focus on one phone or one series. This could not have payed of better for them.
For me the biggest thing is phone quality, it doesn't feel cheap and looks SO VERY SEXYYYYYY!

HTC was known for supporting their customers and thriving for the development that was made outside their walls. They their customer support and open source support along side their amazing devices set them apart from the other manufacturers. They made it clear publicly that they do, and will support us. With no more of a warning than a punch in the back of our heads they took that away. They sent out the hox and the Evo lte with a MUCH increased security. The devs went to work and accomplished a lot of feats to open the devices up. Now, this part of the journey was frustrating enough, and many attempts were made to reach out and let htc know how we felt as customers and nobody got anything more than 1pre written response. Written so any joe could open up and see their customers voice and simply hit a auto reply without even finishing reading what the customer had to say.
To put the icing on the cake, to really make that sucker punch they gave us into baseball bat they did what i believe was their lowest of all time. They took us, the same developer community they supported, applauded and learned from and used our work to cutoff all the exploits that were there. Unlocking exploits, rooting exploits they killed them. They even implemented new securities on developments that were being explored. EXPLORED. So, that is my opinion and my feelings on the issue. Thats why i could care less to see them file bankruptcy and disappear. They obviously could care less about me. Like i said its MHO i dont care who agrees or disagrees. Ive moved on to other manufacturers but remain active in trying to help this community.

I feel the same way about a lot of companies. Up until Apple's style of suing people I stayed pretty neutral in the android vs Apple thing. Now I'm looking to sell my Apple computer and replace every product even linked to them. Now that HTC is following a certain ****y path with security and developer support I'm thinking about doing something similar. I choose with my money and if HTC won't give me the experience I want them I'll let someone else take up the job. Maybe that new rumored nexus?
