I will be at a T-Mobile store tomorrow morning to pick up this phone. Sold my Vibrant on Ebay Sunday, GF did the same. She will go pick hers up after work tomorrow. Pretty excited about the phone, not because I think it's leaps and bounds ahead of the competition but gives me the features I wanted that the Vibrant did not have, ffc (I know you can install one but they are still working out issues and I like native support), led notification, flash, and hopefully it doesnt pick up the exhaust noise of my car so i can actually talk in my car. Ive been using my backup, a sony ericsson K810i for the last couple days and wow, i cant believe I had this phone for 1.5 years, Im on day 3 and am going crazy!

Haha.. I'm still on the G2 but I'm exchanging it for the Mt4g tomorrow as well.. what I'm trying to decide on is red or black?????
Sent from my T-Mobile G2
Red FTW!!! I am currently using my daughters mt3g cause my HD2 took a dump it was mine for 8 months when it first came out (I'm dying on this small of a screen. It's like moving into a studio apartment from a mansion). I had the G2 for 2 weeks but didn't like how thick it was. I'm really excited about this phone. Love the actual buttons on the front, and the ded cam button is a huge plus over my HD2. I will be picking this up in the morning.
I'll be picking one up as well. I returned my vibrant last week in anticipation for it. I'm going to call later today and see if they can sell it early like the G2.
I will be waiting for more user reviews before getting it, like you guys! Also need to play around with it in store. It's gonna be tough for me since I really don't want to part ways with the awesome display on the Vibrant, but since I plan to develop some apps, I gotta get a phone that has almost all the features.
Btw, how much did you guys sell your Vibrant for? Around $300?
Go pick up your Mytouch 4g!
You guys can now go to your local t-mobile store to pickup your mytouch 4g, share your first impressions and un-boxing experience
Did stores get the 'OK' to sell early?
I will never get a phone on launch day again after i did with the Vibrant. I will wait at least 2 weeks to study user reviews and possible price drops. Maybe I'll be able to hold out til black Friday. There's sure to be some great deal by then. Maybe BOGO?
The couple stores i called said they arent selling until tomorrow
Just called a couple tmobile stores and they arent selling them early, but yeah im deciding between red and black and my gf is deciding between plum and black. Im also going to see what sort of price costco gets when they get their inventory, i picked up my vibrant for 250 with no contract from them when it first came out.

+1 ya youbetcha
My local store said no when asked about buying today too.
Just called like 6 stores, none of them were selling it. Great topic man.
I'll be at my local T-Mobile store around 10am to pick it up. Definitely going for the red one.
Torn between phones
So I called tmobile today.. and they told me I could swap my G2 for the MT4G. I Love my G2 but I want a FFC...but.. I'm not sold on the development of this phone. The G2 has tons of recognized developers working on it and I'm havnt seen any of the developers I fallow on twitter even mention the MT4G.. what do you guys think? I'm thinking about getting the white one too what do you guys think? I bought my G2 for $100 so I'm getting this phone for dirt cheap.

how
how can you swap your G2 for it? Are u inside the remorse period?
I'd say do it if you don't need the keyboard and unless you are like a huge texter, who needs a keyboard?
Obviously if you want the newest updates, more roms, etc, keep the G2. If you like a physical keyboard, keep the G2. I doubt the mt4g will have as much developers as the G2.
For me, the front facing camera is just a novelty. I'm pretty sure it's one of those things where you play around with for a few days at most and never touch again, unless you have a specific reason to need a fcc.
The mt4g aesthetics aren't appealing to me as much as the unibody design with the G2. I am sure the mt4g will have some people working on it if you really want the fcc that much, but for now the G2 seems to be like the better phone, unless you really need the fcc. Then again I never really looked at the specs of the mt4g, but I have not heard that much amazing things about it unlike the G2.
This is just my opinion, I would just go with whichever phone you think suits you better.

mytouch 4g
i just sold my vibrant for 260.00 and i ordered my mt4g today early.
Going to get one tomorrow and keep at least through the remorse period.
If not happy with what I can do with temp root and installing apps, will probably let it go back. After using completely open nexas one, don't know how much I can accept being locked down again.
Also, if the other new features (besides front camera) get old, may decide to stay with the nexus anyway. It gets 3-4 mb/second download on local network, so extra speed has only small utility (as opposed to loosing hot spot tether, etc.) and having to reload everything on each reboot.

This is a short but tragic love story between a man and his Infuse.
====WARNING====
So I had my Infuse for about a year now. Got it free with AT&T upgrade. (I was still new to contracts and didn't realize they would add another year to my contract, the #^@*#&#*#s.) ...I would have been done with them by now.
Anyway, love the phone. No problems, had a case that I bought for it same day that goes great with it.
This summer, it started to lag on me and give me several problems. Didn't take it as nothing. Blamed myself for being the klutz I am and dropping it so much.
Was still on Froyo and realized I can upgrade to Gingerbread, so I did.
Still lag plus I just didn't like Gingerbread.
So, I have been to XDA forums before, but only to refer other people about their phones or minor troubleshooting for my own.
Saw that there was a dedicated forum for Samsung Infuse, made a couple posts and got my phone rooted, (Thanks much guys.)
So here I am, running Entropy's unofficial CM9, and damn, the phone feels brand new. Fell in love all over again.
I even took off the case and was about to put on a new screen protector. But phone felt so brand new and shiny...lol shiny....anyway.
I dropped it/her/it.
But I've dropped it so many times, so what.
Picked it up, headed to work, about to use it to send a message and bam, there is a crack.
Only sign of life is that it lights up at the bottom where the buttons are.
Guess I shouldn't have taken off the case.
Would have probably shed some tears if I wasn't out in public lol.
But I had faith I could fix it/her.
Ordered a glass repair kit for cheap from ebay without any research.
It's taking awhile so I got impatient and did some research and realized I need the LCD repair kit instead and that's pretty expensive and parts for the Infuse are rare so makes sense.
So, even though, I'm still hoping that, the glass repair I ordered includes it but maybe not, since it was $12.
Anyway, if you get through all this crap ^^^, I got a question for you.
Should I buy another Infuse or get the Note or the S III?
Has to be Samsung.
Infuse is awesome and as long as my phone is working I am not trading. If money isn't a problem I would get the s3 or note 2. If money is a problem then I don't think you can go wrong with another infuse.

samsung will repair it. it'll cost a bit and take time but its probably the best way to go if you want to keep it. the screen replacements I've found are all from china and I had a bad experience with them. others have had issues with even insurance repairs. so id leave screen replacements to Samsung because its cheaper than buying one through china and most of the ones on the market seem to have a good chance of being defective.
So I was minding my own business talking to the best buy mobile guy that was helping me purchase this phone after getting a refund on my galaxy s6 that wasn't working out for me. Then this lady that also worked there comes up and is like "please tell me you aren't leaving the s6 for this thing". Has anyone ever been treated like that before? I found it so tacky.
It's not tacky it's there opinion. I honestly would think the same in my mind why switch from an S6 to something a year old.

Seems to me the whole transaction was none of her business. Not just tacky, but rude as well.

I think it is more about the fact that you are "downgrading" since the phones rolling out now have better specs such as octa cores vs quad. However, if you are content with the phone, then I say forget what others think and enjoy it. If you go the full two standard years between phone upgrades, then you should have no worries. Worst case is that you may not see system updates to the latest versions of Android. Of course that is one of the reasons XDA exists...to get a custom of the latest .
Kinda rude in my opinion, What's right for her may not be right for you. I wouldn't put much thought into to be honest.

Yeah.. yet apps today can't even take a advantage of the extra cores lol... Worthless imo.
In my opinion the Samsung S6 sacrifices some S5 features such as sd card slot and removable battery (not to mention losing waterproof feature and usb3) even though camera is better. I would rather have the LG G3 because having sd slot and removable battery are important to me.
I will always pick LG over Samsung. She's just following the heard. But on the plus side she's an android user (+1). At least they did not try to sway you over to the dark side.
How long do you have to try it out? The G4 is suppose to be announced tomorrow (April 28th) and available on Wednesday the 29th. Of course it will have new phone prices vs the $0.01 you probably paid for the G3, but it might be worth considering.
I got this phone from meeting in person, excellent condition. Used it on Cricket network.
This is amazing 4k phone (my first 4k phone) I do hear LG G4 gonna be released soon but got phone for cheap price. I actually enjoyed it, I'm coming from Iphone 5s.

Ah..Best Buy
Just want to add my $.02. I bought this phone today myself as a phone to tinker with since my Note 4 is locked down. I picked this up OFF contract at BB for only $399 and I think that's a steal. Walking into the store, I already knew what their website had it listed at, but to test the BB rep, I asked how much the phone was and he quoted me $700. I asked him to ring it up just to check and sure enough, it rang up $399. We can root and CM12.1 this phone but not the Samsungs! This is a fun phone to get my crack flashing addictions satisfied with! Enjoy our our LG G3. It's still a great piece of hardware.

I got my G3 from Best Buy for $.99 when I was updating the AT&T contract. They ended up shipping me a Gold Sprint G3 instead of the Blue AT&T G3 I ordered. Took the gold one to the local BB to swap it out, but they had me call their 1800 support line.
So I'm on the line with support in my truck in the BB parking lot, the girl almost has it done for me to be able to walk back into the store to return my phone and have mine shipped to me when the call was dropped....30 minutes wasted....
So I call back, get a different person...long story short, took 45 minutes on the 2nd call for them to send me an email that contained my return label. Went home, printed the label, went to UPS, and sent my phone back.
4 days later and my Blue AT&T G3 arrived. The day after that a 2nd Blue AT&T G3 arrived at my house. I got 2 Blue G3s for $.99 because Best Buy has a horrible return department and policies. I suppose the hour and 20 minutes between 2 customer service calls, 5 miles worth of gas, and 4 days of extra waiting is worth it for both a free G3 and a 99 cent G3.
Very nice...one to rom and another to....rom! Lol.

Sorry, but I simply cannot give kudos for your actions on this. No matter how terrible their returns department is, or what kind of "on the phone" experience you had with their rep, you are still not entitled to keep both of these devices. Man up, be honest and send one of them back and explain to them their mistake. It may not be a drop in the bucket to them, but it wold be loads of good karma for you my friend.
There are a LOT of ladies like that in this world unfortunately. Especially if they in the upper-level socioeconomic classes.
I believe that's why there are a lot more single men these days... they just don't want to put up with snooty broads.
I purchased my LG G3 D850 from a gentleman on Ebay. It was unusual in the fact that when he listed it, he put no photos of the phone in the listing.
He stated it was in "Pristine" condition and set the bidding on it for $320. I was intrigued, so I sent him a PM via Ebay. He responded quickly, plus it was
serendipitous in the fact that he resides in the same city I do! He told me that he had the phone for only six months and was moving on to something
different. He said it was not because of any issues with the phone... he just wanted to get a different phone. (An uber techie nerd type... he told me.)
I kept the listing in a "Watch" status and noticed an hour before the auction was to expire that only one other person had bid on it and it was at $325.
I waited until about a minute before the end and set my bid at $330, then clicked the "Submit" at 8 seconds prior to end. I WON IT! Woohoo!
The seller agreed to let me pickup the phone locally since he resided about 12 miles across town from where I live. I was very happy to see that the phone
was truly in pristine condition, it looked like it never came out of the box. All original contents and box too. He'd even put a tempered glass screen protector on it.
I felt I made a great purchase indeed.

If it had been just Best Buy I would have. But it wasn't. What makes me keep it was going through the worst AT&T contract upgrade ever. I was shipped the wrong phones 3 times, returned them all. I spent 8 to 10 hours a day for 5 days straight on the line with AT&T's reps, 60% of the time on hold (and the reps spoke in a horrible broken English because they're from India). Then AT&T changed my contract 3 different times, each to a plan that I specifically said that I didn't want. The first misorder, it was 3 G3's on the Next program....that was $400 some odd dollars out of the bank that I couldn't afford which caused 3 different checks for bills to bounce. Took 5 days to get that money back....
I still have two more misorders, three trips to the AT&T Store, another $150 taken from the bank, the Best Buy experience, and a bit of BS dealing with UPS to return the wrong G3. It really is a long story, but I'm keeping the phone due to all the hell I went through with AT&T.
As far as karma is concerned....three weeks ago lightning struck the power line between my house and the street. That only fried all my wall plugs, around 10 thousand in major appliances, my computer (which was uploading some Rin based LP stock kernel commits to github), and caused sparks and smoke to spew from anything connected to a cable line. Oh, and for kicks, hail damage, from the same lighting storm, caused my roof to leak.
Normally I would have returned it, but I spent over 40 hours on the line with AT&T, had money taken that caused bills to bounce, lost cable/internet for a week because I only had the funds to cover electricity or TV after AT&T took money the shouldn't have....Oh, and two months later I now pay $5 more a month and have 2gb less data per month because I just got tired of dealing with AT&T and figured that, after all I'd dealt with, the plan they ended up putting me on was good enough and in budget.
Did all of this mobile because my desktop and two laptops are fried and don't work.
I gave back an S6 and G4, going back to a g3(along with my 6+). They are not worth the extra cash.
Yesterday. It's supposed to be here by the 10th, so I've obviously been stalking here for a bit.
Finally decided to upgrade from my OG 2013 MX since it's starting to show its age. Went with white front, black leather, and blue accents with the greeting of "Activating TARDIS".
My only real issue is the warranty. I think that may be the only thing that stops me from unlocking.
*edit* removed the question before I get in trouble.
I had the same worries but Motorola and pure Android without root is almost an iPhone garbage!!!
My advice is to get insurance through Squaretrade. Motorola customer service sucks big time.
Just got mine yesterday. Debating whether to get the moto care protection on it. I also came from the 2013 x. Definitely going to take a bit to get used to the substantial size difference.

I went the square trade route as suggested above especially after the horror stories of Moto support.
Got mine last week.. This week a dead line of pixels running vertically appeared on the screen. Persists through power cycles.
Kinda upset.... purchased through Amazon who is replacing phone practically overnight. Just glad it failed now rather than later.
Saw T-Mobile was promoting the g5 for 499.99 with Bill credits lowering the price to 199.99. I'm assuming this is a really good deal even though the g5 wasn't well received? Am I going to go have any regrets?
Bought mine in May. No regrets
Sent from my LG-H830 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Came yesterday. Got the nougat update going as soon as a I activated it. Battery seems great already and it flys
I can't imagine a better brand new phone for 199. Good choice!
This phone is pretty solid. There are a few hangups. Non the less for $200 it's steal
I got mine about four months ago before any bill credit deal. First one was stolen. Second one has a cracked screen that I rode out for a month because it still worked. All in all if I were to use insurance on that one too I'd be paying about 900 for a phone that is more 199. That is insane to me lol. I spent my money this month on a used Nexus 6P instead of an insurance replacement just out of principal of this haha, though I'm starting to regret it because I can't get wifi calling working and the G5 is definitely faster.
