My phone is due for upgrade at the end of the month. Ever since it was announced i have had my heart set on a Desire HD and planned to upgrade to this as soon as it was released.
A spanner was thrown into the works today when I bumped into some articles dating back to May about the glacier. The spec looks a huge leap ahead of the desire hd but I could not find any recent references to this device at all.
Does anyone know anything about this device? The reports from may say the launch was planned for end of 2010 and that it has the dual core snapdragon.That is all I can find.
Cheers
Tim

It looks like the HTC Glacier and the new myTouch (HD, 4G, and so on) are one and the same.

Has anyone picked apart that ROM yet?
Imo, I would get the 4g if I was on tmob
Wow so they are one and the same??? And I also see a T-Mobile November 3rd release. Bly ME!!!

Hi xda well I'm looking at the sensation bout to jump over to it but I want the Samsung galaxy s2 but I was wondering I'm only a month away from my upgrade I've been with T-Mobile for 1 year and I have made every payment before its due. Any idea thanks.!

I was under the impression that you had to be with tmobile for 2 years for an upgrade

Yeah you don't get an upgrade until your 22 mo mark. I believe at 13 months you get a partial upgrade, where it's like 30% off of full retail value. You could always threaten to cancel, retention might offer you an early upgrade or a good deal on a phone. You won't be able to get the Sensation through tmo until the 15th though.

Wth really.??? Well that sucks I wanted to upgrade to something newer dual core. Oh well I guess I'm going to have threaten them haha lol. Unless I buy it on craigslist but oh well. Well 30 percent I might take as well. Thanks for your answers.

It sucks but really you knew what you were doing singing the contract and getting the discount on your current phone. Why try to screw them over you always know the second you buy a phone is out done a month later deal with it.

Well I bought the vibrant but then I had the g2, nexus one, back to g2 then somebody traded me there brand new glacier for my used g2. Well I guess I'm going to have to pt out of my pocket in that case ill wait till the sgs2 comes out. Seems to be befier.

Well I wasn't due for an upgrade until last month, but they gave me an exception and thus a full upgrade when I bought the MT4G back in Nov. So if you call it's possible to get one.
Good luck on the early upgrade it could happen, as for my upgrade it's in august and i'm thinking if the mt4g slide don't have more then 1gb rom i will probaly just wait it out till either the hercules or Nexus 3 come out. I'm not hurting that bad anymore anyways, since i'm coming from a g1 upgrade, i got a sick deal for this current mt4g phone on craigslist that didnt require a 2 yr contract woot.
Yea might as well wait a lot of good phones are coming out. Mytouch slide I might not Get. Yea if no 1gig I'm buying something else. Ever since I got the mytouch 4g I've been running stock gingerbread I tried cm7 but I'm in love with faux aosp rom. Well till then lets see what happens. Thanks again guys for the response.

Never. Lol

That is a bit of a personal decision. I have never been happier with my Evo as I am running MikG and it is better than any phone I have ever had (Touch Pro > Touch Pro 2 > Evo). I might be looking to upgrade in a while but I have not found the phone that is compelling enough to ditch the Evo yet. I prefer HTC over Samsung (personal again) and I don't want the 3D gimmick so I am going to have to wait a bit. It might be interesting to see an HTC Evo LTE in several months when Sprint announces they are moving in that direction.
Hi guys, just wondering. Will our myTouch 4G get the official ICS update at all? or they will left us behind?
Initially HTC said they would, but tthen the representative said she was "confused" or something. So no I don't think we will get the update.

I just saw a list of devices that will be receiving official ics updates. Mt4g is not on they list. Ill look for my source and post it.

I know it says that a variety of devices which mean more devices than what are listed. But look at the list. Devices that came out way after the mt4g. Also mainly dual core devices.

I highly doubt that the mytouch 4G will receive the official ICS update from HTC. Technically the device is done with its shelf life, which is why i doubt that it'll get an update. It's fine with me though, seeing as my contract ends this year and I'll be picking up a device that will either be updated to ICS or already comes with ICS on it.
According to HTC all phones released in 2011 will get ICS and Canadian variant of MT 4G known as Panache was released in 2011. So it should get ICS update
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium
Thanks guys. I hope to see the custom ROM with ICS but most of them the camera is not working. not just for the MT4G, most of devices are the same. Do you know why it is so hard like this?

I was reading this article and there is a pic of the actual htc one x running ics 403 I don't know if the picture is photoshopped or not but I was wondering if tmobile will get their version without sense?
http://www.ubergizmo.com/2012/02/htc-one-x-to-launch-on-sprint-and-t-mobile/
I just can't figure out why Tmobile would get the one x and the one s seems strange to me and I'm sure they both would have sense
Sent from a guy living in a van down by the river
i hope we get the one x, looks hot
Let T-Mobile release One X with AOSP stock as rumors said and EU version get Sense 4.0. So we can flash both for price of on.hehe

Problem is its not really aosp it will be like the g2 which was skinned aosp really the g2 had sense framework all throughout the framework of the so called aosp so either way it won't matter.

i just saw htc ceo speaking english ... hehe was funny
Meh
Not holding my breath...
It will prolly be some new "Sprint" derivative of
Europeans will have THAT phone looks like
there are some rumors that the htc one x with stock ICS will be coming for tmobile

stock android + tweaks are always good..
Does anyone know if Sprint is going to be getting any of the HTC phones from the ONE series?

I think all carriers except verizon
That's good for Tmobile because both there version and International version will use the same roms just like the g2 and desire z

so we must wait till crisch release his beautiful work
This is exactly the kind of thing that made me switch to a Nexus. HTC is getting seriously annoying and it is almost enough to make me sell my Desire. Well done HTC..
It really sucks too, because I was looking forward to seeing official ICS on the DHD. LC's is absolutely amazing, but without an official release of ICS, a lot of the problems the phone has in regards to ICS will be much more difficult to fix.
Oh well. I'm sure ClockaN will do absolutely amazing without an official update.

I don't think HTC realize the damage they do to themselves when they piss off the geak crowd. The reason that all 4 people in my family have htc phones is because me,the "techy" person, recommended that was a good choice. As soon as they piss off the techy person by doing something like this then they loose a lot more then the immediate customer they loose all the recommended customers as well. Grave mistake HTC.
I just don't get this...
So... a 600 MHz cpu with 512mb ram (desire c) can handle ICS and sense 4, but the Desire HD can't?
Yeah, my next phone will be a nexus one.

Wow, that sucks big time! That easily sounds like the stupidest thing I've seen a company do for a long time. I like HTC as anyone else here but I hope this backlash hurts them big time so they learn they can't just screw over their loyal customers like that.
Hopefully they come to their senses and take it all back like they did last year regarding the desire. Or we could all try and pressurise them into releasing all proprietary hardware drivers etc. But I doubt we'll have any luck with that!

I'm sure this angers the Inspire community as well. I have an Inspire 4G and I know the DHD devs make our phone much more worthwhile!
From what I read at HTC statement in their blog, it is not because DHD can't handle the ICS, but it is because they think our phone is in it greatest performance with latest Gingerbread update with Sense 3.0, so they did not want to spoil this enjoyment just for the sake of newer OS. I think HTC sees this problem from average joe perspective, whom never root or play with their phone, and just click on "Update" button whenever it's popped-up on their phone screen.
" ...ultimately the customer experience on the product is the deciding factor."
By the sounds of these posts, the CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE is pretty poor at the moment.

Why are they spoiling the enjoyment of other phone users like the desire s owners. Hell why don't they release their newer smartphones with GB for more enjoyment. BS

Don't buy devices other than Nexus devices,
Samsung Galaxy S even have no official Gingerbread release.

Why is it that every time when someone comes along with informations from any blog, which says the update is canceled, the hole crowd is going nuts?
Just yesterday some German finally heard about rumors from canceling ICS. So they contacted HTC and they said, the update will be released.
Still everyone going nuts
Tired of this topic...it ain't that special, whether we get it or not

But while the link is from the official HTC Blog, it should be official information this time.
And by the way, I read it, too from computerbase, but they only stated a mulitple days old, official HTC info
