What do you guys think about your Slides? Do you regret buying it?
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
I'm actually really happy with it. Ever since I got team fenix's froyo on here, gmail has been syncing properly, I have all the apps I need. I play games non stop in lab instead of listening to lecture. The thing isn't a battery whore and can last up to 3 sometimes 4 days on stock battery. It's a great mid range phone. I have a laptop for movies and tv shows.
I love it, and I never regret anything in life i just hope tmobile would have told us about the mytouch hd so I could have waited for that, hopefully they have it in white.

I love mine. I had a BB for 3 years and this is so much better and you can root it and make it your phone. I am not crazy about customer service from T-Mobile latley but the phone rock. Easy to root and works like a charm...
To be honest I regret getting it. Not because anything is wrong on the phone at all but because there are better phones right around the corner. If this is the only decent phone with a keyboard and sense UI that comes out then I won't feel so bad but it really sucks to have a phone with just 600 mhz when phones with 1 ghz are dropping everywhere. I don't mean to rant but I just don't want anyone else to make the mistake of purchasing an almost outdated phone. September should be big for tmobile ust try to wait till then.

I've thought about this too. However, it's how technology works. The latest and greatest is always just around the corner. If you upgraded every time something better came out, you'd be buying a new phone once a month.

I'm liking mine a lot so far too. I'll like it even better when my replacement battery door arrives though
No regrets here either. The keyboard works well enough and the phone is stable.

Im with u! Wish tmobile would keep up with the game. Who cares about their awesome customer service when they have crap for phones when compared to other carriers.

Switched from HD2, and completely satisfied, not worried about the 1ghz. Seems superfluous to me, I don't plan on running any benchmarks on this phone so, what is the point really. This phone is snappier than any 1ghz phone I've used, only phone I envy is the evo with the hdmi output.
*edit*
Extended battery would be nice though.

I am satisfied with this phone. It has great features and I personally like the sense ui and feel its better than the vanilla interface. My gripes with this phone are moreso with the manufacturer. This phone should have had a better cpu, more onboard space and it should not be as difficult as it is to send a mms message. Those are my only complaints. If, however, the rumors about the mytouch hd are true, then I am going to definitely purchase that phone out right and make this my backup phone.
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
Seems to be a great phone, little buyers remorse on not getting the Vibrant instead as it would be nice to have beefier hardware but it is a major plus to have the physical keyboard of the slide, and sense ui is rather nice.

buying a slide?
i currently own an Eris on VZW, and i was thinking about switching over to T-Mobile ( due to current promotions and pay cut ). With that being said the slide was the only device that caught my attention.
is it really worth it? i havent really caught the buzz about the device wanted to get some current user feedback.
Thanks!

Personally I love my Slide but if you have a few weeks to wait, for about the same money (depending on the mail in rebate) you can get the new G2 when it comes out
I really like my Slide and have had mostly good experiences with Tmo. I've never been on another carrier but I have listened to friends endlessly ***** and moan about Verizon.
Are you buying it to root and load roms? or just as a phone? The stock sense rom is a little bulky and sluggish. Most of the Devs bailed on the slide. Eugene, HTCClay and even though we have CM the wifi is very wonky. They either went to the Samsung Vibrant or HD2..... If you need a keyboard than maybe the G2. The rumor that it only has an 800m processor stinks. Its stepping backwards like the slide did. I have had the slide since day one. Rooted it first week and have loaded every rom out there. I feel like i did when i bought my intellivision or turbo graphix 16 or sega cd.........
I've had it for about four months and haven't had any issues that were not self inflicted (goatta love rooting ;-) ) . Just go into it knowing your not buying a top of the line phone. As nice as it is, and it truly is a wonderful device, buy it with the right expectations and you will be happy.

If you're going to spread your opinion, you should do some research first. Clock speed is irrelevant in this matter. It's a completely different type of chipset (Scorpion), that works much more efficiently and quickly than current Snapdragon and Hummingbird processors, according to the information we have.

IMO u should wait and get one of the two new phones that T-Mobile is fixing to come out with. This slide is only ok. Nothing bad to say about it (unless you wanna get choosy, like I am) but also nothing good to sat bout it if u know what I mean. Obviously there are better phones out there but not any that u can get from T-Mobile. This is just MY opinion so do what u want with it.
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
I would wait for the G2.
Waste of money IMHO. The slide is dependable but very low end. I would stick with verizon as well. Better phones and better coverage (at least where I am) also not as expensive.
it is good if you must go with tmo but then again I would say consider some of their other models or wait for some newer phones. Phones always come around the holiday season.
lettin the hussy role on my MT3G Slide
Slide is Tmobile's current top offering.
Is it worth it?
Sure; yes.
Wait for the G2, or choose another carrier for their high-end phone.
But the truth -- is that the Slide is holding it's own with phones with better specs.
That's the hype you'll be hearing about the Slide (at least for a while).

Agreed, if you need a phone NOW the Slide is T-Mobile's best phone. If you can wait a bit, the G2 will be the way to go.
The Slide is a great phone, but the G2 is only gonna be 20 more, so I would wait the 3 weeks and get the G2. If I had known this was definately coming out in September back in June when I got the Slide I would have waited.

Agreed. I am actually debating on getting either the G2 or the Mytouch HD. Seeing as the G2 is definitively coming it within a few weeks, that looks more promising.

I'm wondering, What would other Vibrant owners do?
Would you get another vibrant or another phone that is CURRENTLY out.
My contract is up in a month but I'm not renewing. I might stay with tmobile but off contract. I can't wait weeks or months for the next great thing. So if this was you what phone would you get?
I'm considering another, probably used vibrant. Cheapish and I'm familiar with it and liked it a lot.
A Vibrant 4G just for faster speeds. (Speed tested one in my neighborhood and pulled 5mbps, was told it hits as high as 8 on occasion. Regular vibrant pulled 3mbps or less most of the time.)
Or a Nexus S just because it will get upgrades and already has a lot of development.
Or some other phone?
Update 3/4/11: Went with a Nexus S. Samsung makes great Hardware and google handles the software and since I was paying out of pocket I figured the NS would last me a long time.
i'd go with a sgs4g.
um... whatever insurance sent me i guess
If I was getting a replacement off of craigslist, the hd2 is about 75 cheaper most of time. if I had enough cashI'd get a cheapy then get the sgsII when it takes in europe, go to att off contract for the lower rate plan. Yeah...
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Personally if I had insurance I would go with the one they sent me as long as it was another Vibrant or a fair upgrade. Otherwise I would go with the 4G. Seems close enough to the Vibrant that developers should be right along with lots of options for it shortly.
Honestly- just buy a cheap phone like the mytouch 3g and use it for a few (3 or 4) months until the sgs2 comes out here.

GTFO NO WAY ! ! ! but You are off topic.
Personally i would get a NS, you could get another vibrant but might as well upgrade. The NS is a good phone esp since it has better development support like you said. And with the current release schedule of Android (purely speculation) i wouldnt be surprised if we started seeing IceCream by mid summer to early fall.

used hd2 runs winmo 6.5/froyo/honeycomb sdk/win7. Can't beat that really. Might I add working gps to boot.
If you could wait a week or two, I'd get an lg optimus 2x. I know you said waiting weeks would not really be viable, but......
Or find a cheap old smartphone to hold you off till lg optimus2x. Like my old mytouch or a blackberry.
I would consider getting the Nexus S, for the update schedule alone. I'll never buy another Samsung phone (because of the software support;exception being the Nexus S). The LG optimus 2x looks good but I'm not sure if it can be rooted easily.
I love my sgs!
I would get a Motorola Defy off of craigslist and start looking at a Honeycomb or Ice-cream phone to upgrade to.
Well I looked at a few but in the end I went with a Nexus S. I love samsungs hardware but don't want to have to deal with slow updates or touchwiz (even though I like a few things about it).
And really I was super tempted to just get another Vibrant since there are some great Vibrant Devs and a lot of great rom's and mods.
i just sold my HTC HD2 today.. i cant hide that im kind of sad for selling it because this is the best phone i have had and seen...
i dont know what im gonna get now but i would love some advices...
so what do you recommend me??
it has to be as good as htc hd2 or better (if exists one )
thanks in advances =)
Go for HTC Sensation!
If you're living in US maybe you should wait from T-Mobile coz I've been reading latest news that they will release Sensation too.
Well on HD2, T-Mobile version is quiet different from EU version, right? So maybe in this Sensation too.

Afaik, T-Mobile now is part of At&t or opposite of that, cmiiw. So might be Sensation will come to Mexico eventually, or just buy them online from ebay or Amazon, etc.
Well, Sensation must be the choosen one if you look next generation HTC smartphone. Or just wait until HTC release the unlocked bootloader version one, and they will be come awesome device for you.

Htc evo 3d - 3d!!
Htc samsung galaxy s - super amoled plus and perfect camera
I would not go for sensation becuase the screen is not that good as sgsII + the camera lenses on htc arent that good yet

i need a att phone because im from mexico and the att frequencies are compatibles with mexican companies frequencies,
i had the tmobile htc hd2 and i just had it with EDGE thats why i sold it :/
or is there another phone i can use with 3G or 4G from the united states??
the ones that i have seen so far from at&t are:
- htc inspire 4G $300 USA Dollars
- Motorola ATrix 4G $300-350 USA Dollars
- Samsung Infuse 4G $500 USA Dollars
- Samsung captivate 4G $200-250 USA Dollars
Samsung galaxy s 2. Works with a T&t's 3g bands, but costs a hell lot. The price to pay for the best phone you can get at this time.
I mean tell me, which phone can run 20 tabs at the same time and play a HD youtube video fine? Pretty sure the sensation can't handle that with sense eating away the power.
It is funny how you guys are talking about the new HTC Sensation when it hasn't been out yet. Wait till it gets released then you guys can keep talking about how bad it is smfh..
The sensation is out. >.>
It's been selling in I think vodafone. It was out since last week I think, or before.

Been released in Europe a couple of weeks ago.
I am also doubting between the Sensation and the S2.
I saw some 720P and 1080P videos that where taken with both phones at the same time and boy ow boy the Samsung kills the Sensation on that front by a mile.
Since my HD2 is in repair I had some issues concentrating (called toying)and bought myself the very cheap ZTE blade. After 3 days I am starting to fall in love with it (especially for the price I paid for it).
You could wait till aT&t releases their version, which will be cheaper prolly.
Or the HTC infuse is a good choice, along with the cappy, super amoled is my cup of tea.

yeah im agreed with you, and more even here in mexico where the assaults are in the skies ;/
so im willing to pay 450 MAX maybe for the Samsung infuse, i saw some camera shots of that phone and i felt in love with it, but otherwise i really love HTC SENSE
it is so cute and unique!!
is there a way to have "like sense" in samsung infuse 4G?
or do i have to stay with the htc inspire 4G?
because i already look the motorola atrix and i didnt like it at all :S or can someone defend it?
Sense can be ported, but from how I see it, the infuse will not have a lot of devs working on it, so sense might be impossible in this situation.
I'd say go for the inspire 4g, lots of devs.
For one, i've never used a atrix 4g before, but I won't vouch for it being good. I've been to the atrix 4g forums when it came out, and all I saw was problems, problems, problems, "lagginess", screen was uninspiring, camera had issues, it's just not worth it as I see it.

Maybe the first released of HTC Sensation had locked bootloader (but with genius devs in xda I think it eventually will be unlocked no matter how it does to works ) that will make the phone couldn't installed with custom rom.
And you're absolutely right about HTC Sense. You can't leave that easily too.

Today I just got an unlocked G2 (a new rom needed to be flashed. It was stuck in a boot loop and they had no idea how easy it was to fix so traded my moto backflip and $25 for it)
I have AT&T. I'm running an miui rom and am really loving it. Plus I only like phones with a physical keyboard.
The only downside is I only have EDGE.
AT&T doesn't offer a high-end, dev friendly android phone with a physical keyboard.
My question is, is it worth having a 4G phone and only have EDGE?
I'm not sure if any phone is worth being stuck on edge.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
Lol trust me I know. The only thing saving me is my wifi.
It's just the only phone out with a physical keyboard is the flipout, and that's not really booming in the dev community.
Do I have any other options?
Ya a couple years back I was using an unlocked iphone on tmobile, obviously was stuck with just edge. It was RIGHT at the precipice before edge became the mobile equivelant of dialup. I don't think there is any way in hell your gonna have a decent experience with just edge. Just take the huge profit you just made and flip it on craigslist for an Att phone.

That sucks. You need to get a Desire Z version A7275. It is compatible with AT&T 3G bands. It is also known as the Bell unlocked version.
Sent from my HTC Desire Z
I looked at the bell version and I don't have $400 for it, if I did I would go with that option.
I would just trade it for an att phone but I need a physical keyboard. (always had a keyboard on every phone to date starting with my sidekick 08)
I was looking toward the captivate but, I saw the a captivate with a custom rom vs a stock g2 in benchmarks, and the captivate wasn't ahead by much.
I'm stuck ):
search in the market place here on xda or make a thread looking to trade a g2 for an 850mhz desire z, maybe someones in the same situation as you

Very smart! Thanks!
Unless you can get a trade for 850mhz DZ I don't think you're going to want to stick with it. You're printing money at this point getting the G2 so cheap so might as well try to get a trade up for a phone you can use 3G on. EDGE Is so painful.
Sounds like you wanted the keyboard, but if you don't absolutely have to have it you can just sell the G2 and put that towards something else. The Nexus S is offered on AT&T on contract now as well if you need it cheap.

Yea I know. I just checked my upgrade status. I'm due in October so if I can tuff it out two more months, I should have more options for me. Thanks for the help guys!
Try to find a Canadian who is using BELL and wants to upgrade their phone service to Globalive. Globalive *requires* AWS band (won't work without), so any phone from bell will not work at all. Get them to do a straight up trade.
Personally though, I couldn't care less about mobile data, as long as it'll do email. I say you're better off with an HTC VISION on Edge than you are with an iTrash.
