Glad to see a few people have picked up the sidekick 4g! Cant wait to see what kind of development it will receive!
Its a really good device and is much better than my slide.
i got one for my gf and i wanted to keep it and start modding it but its hers its the first sidekick i liked
Ya I was very surprised when I picked up for my gf. I found myself always playing with the phone. First sidekick I actually liked as well.
She is very happy with it. And she also.can't wait to get some nodding done on it!

Hey guys. I love my Inspire, but like always, it's starting to get a little old to me and I'm getting the itch for something different. I've flashed everything from CM7 to the new Sense 3.0 port... but it's starting to get "same-ole, same-ole". Someone offer a fellow Inspire owner some words of wisdom on why this device is worth holding on to, because quite frankly I "want" to keep it.
Every android phone is same ol same ol

Get a Captivate, find out how bad the OS system is, and switch back to the Inspire...
HTC and Apple phones are the best for ATT IMO out of the box...
Or you could go buy a basic go phone with no internet access. Very quickly you will realize that your android isn't as boring as you thought.

There isn't a better phone to have. Go buy an Atrix lol.
If you are bored with it, send me a pm. I will send you my address, you can ship it to me. Then you wont be bored with it anymore cause you won't have it.
Just an idea.

OP, you won't get bored with a captivate. You'll always be trying to figure out if...
[*] something ain't working right
[*] why it ain't working right
[*] trying to fix what ain't working right
[*] convincing Samsung to fix a phone that doesn't work right.

Funny you should mention the keyboard... after 6 months, it was the only part of my former crapflip that didn't turn to ****.
The aluminum body on the Inspire is so much more robust than most of the dainty plastic phones it competes with.
IMO, HTC is at the top of their game. Every major US carrier has at least one great HTC.
Quality always bests quantity in my book, though HTC has managed equal parts of both in spades.

This is the honest answer. Once you get used to a phone OS and are able to work your way around pretty much all aspects of it, it becomes boring.
The only options are to either stick with it (maybe due to there not being a better OS in your opinion, maybe due to the app market, maybe due to some kind of hope that something revolutionary will come along that can be done on your device, etc.) or to go try a new OS (Windows Phone VII and iOS still exist)
Dude the reason its so boring is cuz your not utilizing the options. Like me. If I'm at work ill pop on YouTube or a movie and Watch it to speed up the time being or even Pandora. Then on lunch breaks,ill pull out modern warfare and kill some online ass. Then when I go to my classes at 9pm,pull out quickoffice and take notes the easy way. Then email them to myself and start all over. Yell the Andy calculators help Me in my college algebra 2 class. Facebook,flash player,mp3 player,graphical calculators(which run like $100+ from TI) POINT IS....Android rules it all. If u get bored,go onto ustream and stream something live and enjoy it. Ufc or something. IPhone sucks imo,owned that trashed that. And with HTC,updates will be here in no time. Like they said SGS will keep u busy fixing it,rather than enjoying. Reason I posted this is to give example of how to enjoy ur phone,for more than mere entertainment.

+1 guys, thank's for some great (and some not-so-great, haha) responses. I know that if I hop over to another WP 7 or iOS device i will realize why I liked Android so much in the first place, just because of what it can do that they cannot.
I am on the same page, as I believe Android is the dominant mobile OS. I think it's like being married...eh.. and there is that blonde co-ed down the hall. Yeah, it could be nice, but you will always go back to the wife you married... well, maybe.
I suppose I'm just looking over at the other side of the fence, and even though I like what I see, I know when I get over there, I will more than likely want to come back.
Well like I said bud just do other things ya know? The thunderbolt,inspire,even the optimus G2X, all are the same. Just with different UI's. And of course ffc or higher LTE and 4g speeds.

I have an oppertunity to do the same thing but am really hesitant on the aftermarket development on the slide as well as the extra bulkiness compared to the mytouch4g. When you get the slides try to compare your thoughts and opinions on the 4g as well as the 4g slide

just got my replacement mt4gs. So far... awesome!
Already got s-off and flashed clockwork, about ready to flash the first rom.. I didn't even bother setting up the stock rom.. But i noticed a incredible boot time on the stock rom at first boot..
Its about the same weight as the mt4g, just a little thicker.. and the keyboard slide has a very nice feel... wayy better then a droid 3
I have the bad screen and chip. I tried this and they would only give me another MT4G, maybe I will try again next month. Don't get me wrong I have a great device! I just think the MT4G slide development is going to take off now that the source code is released. and dual core, physical keyboard would be great

I'd trade my MyTouch 4G for a MyTouch 4G Slide anytime I'd love the better camera and faster CPU
Any takers? Lol
They keep on wanting to exchange mine for a Sidekick 4g in purple. The build quality on the Mytouch is so crappy. I've done 3 exchanges back to back, now I'm stuck with a washed out screen and a weak vibrator.
Well, ill be soon to retire my Mytouch 4G since i got a G2x and my friend is buying it off of me, to be honest the MyTouch provided the best experience on a phone i had. It actually had the first rom i ever was truly satisfied with and didnt want to change. It was a nice sleek, easy to use phone. I wish all of you, the developers, and every one else the best of luck on this forum section! I really hope the developers on here, some of the best ive seen to be honest, make an amazing ICS rom and port it to the MyTouch, i know you developers can do it :3!
Best of Wishes

i got it off of craigslist for 200
Traded my MT4G for a G2x as well. I like it better.
So far the G2x has better build quality, better screen, external speakers are wayyyy better, and the Tegra proc is infinitely better than the Snap. Annoyed me when my MT4G would get hot after just some light web browsing. The G2x never gets hot. Plus, games are way smoother on this thing.
Overall, I loved my MT4G, and always will. But the G2x is a decent upgrade. Especially since you got it cheap.

Are you the one trading the N1 for the G2x? Then yes that's a steal. As long as you get one with no problems of course.
I've had the mt4gs for a week. HATE the keyboad, so I'm looking for the next phone now. Don't want a 7inch version.
Samsung galaxy s3 ?
Note ?
What say you ?
Give it another week or so and the keyboard breaks in so nice.
Sent from my HTC MyTouch 4G Slide running MikXE
Yeah, give it a bit more time than a week... That's hardly giving it a chance. Besides, there is no other super qwerty model out there atm. Comparing this to the Note or SGSIII is difficult because it isn't really in the same category. This device has around the same power as the Note but the SGSIII has a newer style processor that puts it in a different league. If you really love qwertys, then THIS is the device for you but if you could care less about a keyboard... then go for the SGSIII. Either way, you should give it a little more time before judgment. Good luck!

You didn't try before buying? That seems to be your Mistake #1.
I will only buy QWERTY phones unless I have no choice. I'm looking at what the G3 looks like or what the next round of specs the Sidekick line brings. The problem with cell phones nowadays is you don't know what's coming out until a month or two before release.

If I were getting a new phone, I would prefer a Nexus model. But the GNex doesn't have microSD so I'm concerned about that. I like being able to use SD cards, and also put in an optional battery. I hope the new trend isn't to go like Apple and make the phone completely sealed, with no additional storage or battery options. That would suck.

the tmo dealer didn't have any the one day I stopped by... best buy doesn't carry tmo.... and well, the reviews were inconsistent about the keyboard in comparison to the g2 or g1.
Craigslist is where I buy/sell/swap, so its no loss. I don't sign contracts for phones.
as much as I love the g2's keyboard, I can live without just fine if the on screen is ics.
