Mytouch 4g just has a ffc but nothing to die for same phone without a keyboard and a .1 inch bigger screen
Im keeping my G2 because my last MyTouch 3g 1.5 was a piece of junk.
Also, you get stock Android with the G2.
It appears that the reason you're giving is an opinion. Does this REALLY require a new thread?
There are some people here that would use a front facing camera, myself included.
Also, it's been said that the new mytouch is very well built, and running a next generation snapdragon cpu. Spec-wise, this will be a very nice phone.
well actually i like how thin the new mytouch 4g is and the OS runs pretty well. Plus u get the wifi tethering, uma, and has htc sense ui on top.
at least wen i press the trackpad it will allow me to unlock the screen instead of pressing the power button up top.
also the ffc is not very good video was choppy and laggy...it is using the quik app same as the one on the EVO
the material on the mytouch is not good as the G2

FFC helps future-proof your phone since more devices will ship with FFCs in the future. Vanilla android is more of a reason to keep the G2 since we SHOULD receive updates faster than skinned versions of android. The physical keyboard is nice but it definitely isn't needed by most people or necessary for most applications to function (can''t think of anything outside of emulators).

*buzzer sound* Nope, it's not truly Sense UI. It's Sense with a custom skin on TOP of Sense, the Expresso skin that came on the Slide. So it's really a bastardized Sense. *vomits*

To be honest does anyone even really use a ffc? I sure don't so that isn't a sale factor to me. G2 is perfect to me. Has everything I need. I don't need a bunch of useless crap and crappy ui.

G2 has some useless crap on it as well.. launcher pro would take care of the home screen. And idk if I would use the ffc but would be nice to have. I wonder how the led notifications are on it?

Seeing as I own both I can tell you they only thing I miss is the SLCD. Such a difference. Also the MT4G has 768mb of ram. As for stock ui I already use ADW Launcher so it looks the same. It really all just comes down to what your needs are. As far as build quality this mt is very solid, Same if not better than G2, no moving parts =)

Why do you want them to love their G2? If people want to switch to another phone than so what? I love my g2. Itz an amazing phone. I'm going to switch it with a mytouch 4g. Why? I know what a g2 can do. If I don't like the mytouch, tmobile had this thing called a remorse period. Its not that difficult. Well I'm guessing the people that ordered theirs online are SOL

Cool man. You treat that g2 like its your all. Will I use the ffc? Ehh most likely not, don't care much for video chatting. But I have the option Am I going to get the mytouch 4g since I already know what the g2 has to offer? Ehh hell yea. The only reason why my g2 is rooted is because I tether heavily. If the mytouch already have it as a native app, why not.

Because it's not based on the stock android. Please someone, correct me if i'm wrong, but the tethering option on the MT4G is the one T-Mo will use to charge you $15 a month on for using. With the G2 you are currently tethering for free without the providers discretion.
Native tethering on the MT4G, (and possibly on the G2 from the OTA) will mean T-Mobile will be charging that tethering fee just like the other carriers.
That's why they are implementing the 5GB data cap so even if you are tethering on a rooted phone, you won't cost them tons of money.

Well looks like my time with the slide is done. Gonna sell it but not sure if I'm allowed to mention that. Loved every bit of the phone but went and played with the vibrant and couldn't help but fall in love with it. It's been fun!
What did you like about the vibrant? Been thinking bout getting one of those to try out.
Sent from ROOTED MyTouch Slide
My friend just got a Vibrant and its damn fast and hella thin...
Also the screen is awesome!!!
i played with the vibrant for a few hours last night and i will say the screen res was absolutely to die for, but really other than that it's an iphone running android with live wallpapers and that's just not for me. it certainly has the specs to be a good phone and it's nice looking if you are the iphone type, but it's "backed" by samsung and that's a killer for me. had HTC made the phone it would be a whole different game at this point

Don't be fooled by the Vibrant. Samsungs track record with cell phones is not good at all! The phone is hot now, but what will happen when it's time for firmware updates? Let me tell you, Samsung definitely doesn't stay up-to-date on that. You will see better phones from more reliable vendors come out here later on this year and the beginning of next year!

So I played with the Vibrant and it is basically Tmobile version of a better iphone. I actually liked the interface and the graphics are awesome, BUT when I did a speed test of the Vibrant and my Mytouch Slide, to my surprise, my Slide did better both times on the upload and download. Both phones were running on the 3G network. How crazy is that?

Differences in radios, antennas, firmware, software, etc. can all play a role in the maximum speed you will be able to obtain.

This is very true, and I am guilty of assuming that the Vibrant was going to be faster. However, I was pleasantly surprised when my Slide came out on top! It made me appreciate it that much more.

Definitely a good deal. The processor is better (1ghz in opposed to 600mhz on the slide) on the Nexus One, the screen resolution, the screen size is bigger, the software support on the nexus one is better, etc. The only downside to the Nexus would be all about personal preference. The myTouch Slide has a physical keyboard, the Nexus One does not have a physical keyboard. The myTouch Slide comes exclusively with Espresso sense, the Nexus One does not unless you root the phone and put the rom onto it. The Nexus One should be getting Gingerbread 2.3 very shortly while we're still on Android 2.1. Overall the Nexus One in my opinion is a better phone, but if you just want a simple user friendly experience then I'd say stay with the Slide, if you're into rooting and flashing millions of roms then I'd say Nexus One mainly because of the processor and dev support/google support. YOU'RE VERY LUCKY CAUSE I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET A HOLD OF A NEXUS ONE.

So you've definitely gotten the better portion of the deal. You better jump on it before dude changes his/her mind. Is it a straight up deal or cash involved? Is there anything wrong with the Nexus? Just asking cause this deal sounds almost too good to be true. I don't see why anyone would do a trade like this.

So, who here will consider jumping ship when the mt4g slider comes out? Screen specs I think are the same as the g2, but its dual core 1.2ghz, 768ram, 8mp cam are the biggest changes I can remember off the top of my head.
I would consider the change if the battery is bigger, and the slide keyboard is stronger than the G2. What about you?
Nonsense!
Maybe if it has decent design. And not too many qc issues like mytouch 4g.
And if I have the money of course..
I sure aint the g2 is one of the first phones i ever had that was so well rounded. Gonna stick with this one for awhile cause the chances i will like every aspect of another phone are slim.
If performance is anything like the G2x then yes. That thing is soo insanely fast.
I would like a bigger screen though. So we'll see when its anounced.
Think I'm gonna trade for the sensation. That is and amazing piece of hardware.

It's got to have a hardware keyboard for me though. While the MT4GS is tempting, I'd rather not pay full price for one of these phones; I'll just wait til October for the 1 year upgrade and see what's available then personally.

I'm going to wait a while also. the g2 is a very nice phone, goood camera, excellent radios. if and when LTE services come to tmobile, I may upgrade. I will not buy into the 4G marketing fluff.
i currently have the mytouch 4g and was thinking about the HD2.
i love the mytouch for the ffc
i love the HD2 for the BIGGER SCREEN
what are your guys opinion...
HD2 with Windows is a complete failure. If it has Android put on it then it's fine, but 50% more RAM and 4G speeds in the Mytouch would make it an easy decision. If I didn't live in a 4G area then the answer would be a little bit harder but the RAM difference is still significant.

having owned both phones, Ill chime in
yes I agree, WinMo 6.5 sucks...android is where its at. buts also a plus for the HD2 that you can dual boot windows and android. the HD2 does have a bigger screen, but doesnt look as good as the mytouch. HD2 isnt capable of 4G speeds like the mytouch, and also has less RAM. the FFC isnt a big deal for me as I hardly use it, but some people use it on a daily basis to video chat. really, IMO, the only thing I miss about the HD2 was the big screen and thats about it definitely stick with the 4G...
Ok here's one more add in.
The hd2 is for 120$ used.... Good deal or just save my money ??

do you have any pics for it?? I paid $200 for a mint HD2 a few months ago, but now I see them selling on XDA and CList anywhere from $120-$280. if the condition of the phone is 8+/10, I would say grab it. I loved the HD2 as my toy phone, and if something ever happens with your mytouch(lots of bad eMMC errors going around lately) you have an awesome phone to go back to

but there are 2 different types of HD2/Leo. the EUR version has 512mb ROM while the US version has 1gb ROM. they both look exactly the same, except the US version has the T-Mobile logo on the front
I have both a MT4G and a HD2. I absolutely love my HD2 I'm running motorman's ROM so it looks and feels exactly like my MyTouch 4G*. The larger screen is really wonderful and not having the really badly placed power button on the top is great!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919853
I would use it all the time but the lack of UMA/WiFi calling forces me back to the MT4G on occasion.
Note: The HD2 also lacks 4g but that's a who cares since there's little 4g in my area.
*Follow the link and you'll see it's really very easy to install a NAND on the HD2 but download and save the stock software from T-Mo's website first so you can always go back to stock if you want to do so, it takes very little time. You can also set up a dual boot but I've found that less than reliable.

My lock buttons messed up and when I called in yesterday they told me the same thing. The exhibit looks like garbage, but the g2x looks real nice, but I don't like the stock aosp. I just don't think I would be happy with it after owning a mytouch. I'm used to sense and plus the mytouch has a lot more roms to choose from. So I'm sticking with my mt4g. Just my opinion though.
