Looks like it isn't getting the new Sense UI according to that article. The latests CM6 nightlies have really polished things up, and a lot of things are happening with the stock exchange integration. I'm pretty solid on CM6 these days. I'll be happy when a new kernel is released. Other than that...I think HTC has already offered me about all they're going to be able to.
@OP
Make sure you post in the correct section! This belongs in General, not Developement!
Thanks for posting this! I was literally minutes away from ordering an unlocked US/AT&T Aria on Ebay. Finally a phone worthy of replacing my 3 year old LG KS20, and now with EU 3G capabilities, wieeeee!
Taiwan version is available today and should work with Euro 3G support.
Isn't 3g support a hardware thing? If so, will this rom work on an aria? It would be great if it's froyo and you can make it work.
(And I'm sure you can...)
You will be able to dump this ROM and put it in the US Aria. The radio is different since its not AWS. They are both quad band GSM but here we use 850/1900 for 3G, Euro is 2100 & AWS would be all 3.
We will be able to take out things like the hew HTC Sense, something I am excited for.
If you are using the phone in the US, you cant just install the ROM, you are going to have to install a custom ROM like we have been doing now.
As for the housing, that will be easy to get. I used to rep HTC and they are sending me a housing and the phone when he can get his hands on a few.
Once its out, you will have the perfect Aria.

I agree.
I would love to replace the housing. What colors would be available?
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
Presumably just the gloss black, white and green. Personally, I rather like the at&t Aria's rubberised case.
I wish we could get a clear cover so we could show off the yellow insides.

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.
Anyone else thinking of getting the inspire or any new 4G phone?
Don't get me wrong I love my Aria, its one of the best phone I've own. With that said I'm leaning towards the Inspire aka Desire HD.
Just want to see what you guys think.

Oh I'll definitely be jumping on the Inspire. I don't know if its gonna be my primary though until someone can get it rooted. I fear its gonna have an Hboot that hasn't been cracked yet but once it gets rooted and has CM going on it its gonna be a beast!

The Desire HD has been out and is rooted and has CM 7. I predict that on 2/13/2011 you will be able to root and install CM 7 on the Inspire by that evening.
I can only hope that it has the same hboot as the European one
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
Nope, It is confirmed that the Hboot on the Inspire is different than the DesireHD. "HBOOT-0.85.0019" on the inspire, which has the exploit used for the desireHD patched. but there may be another way that will be tried feb 13th

Its a great device, but i personally hate the cheap plasticy feel of it and gps works when it wants but not all the time, other then that its fast and has great battery life. but the lack of CM7/AOSP is a downside in my opinion. so im selling it and getting the inspire.

Thanks! I've been greatly pleased with my aria but just looking around . Can you recommend me any phone with a keyboard that would be close to being as good as the aria or better?
I came from a sidekick so the Aria is my first real smart phone, but i do miss the keyboard.

No the captivate is not better then the aria for a phone in my opinion, but it depends on what u want to use it for. its better for battery life, web browsing, and gaming..but i wouldn't buy another samsung..I would personally reccomend the Inspire if u want a bigger screen. and if your looking for a keyboard
go with the NAM (BELL) Desire Z. works perfectly on att 3g if u get it unlocked
i'm totally getting an inspire, especially since i have an upgrade available on my account so it should only be $99...don't know if i'm going to sell my aria right away or not though.
speaking of selling my aria, anyone ever use http://swappa.com?

Try these Windows Phones - all have keyboards. I almost went with a Windows Phone, but the price was prohibitive for me (I got the Aria free on upgrade).

Yeah guys, I would not buy the Inspire the day it comes out until a confirmed working root is known. It comes stock Android 2.2 and it is a little trickier to root.

I'll deffinitely get the Inspire if I can get it unlocked or at least I can buy the unlock code on some website. There's deffinitely going to be a root for it, no doubt.
Hey guys, for any of you who received a warranty exchange G2 with 2.3.3 from Tmo recently you might want to try getting another exchange if you want the 2.2 build for rooting purposes. I saw the article on Tmonews stating that Tmo was internally calling the Gingerbread release an "error" so I figured I'd give it a shot and go for another exchange.
Anyway, long story short, I got my phone today, it came with 2.2 and I'm a happy camper with a rooted G2 once more!
(And this time I rooted with Adb instead of Visionary like I did the first time! A big thanks to the folks at XDA for creating such a great rooting guide, and a big thanks to the kind folks in #g2root who were willing to take the time to help a relative noob through it!)
My replacement is coming today. I lost all hope that it would come with 2.2 but this has given me hope! Ill **** my pants if it has good ol crappy 2.2 on it!

How was the battery life compared to Froyo? Cause I bought a brand new G2 and the guy said it was a replacement phone. The battery life sucks for me and I don't even have the data hooked up yet. Was it significantly better w/ Froyo? Tmo is willing to send me a new replacement but I'm not sure what to do yet.
Alrite ... T-mobile supposed to send me the replacement for the MT4G but they don't have anymore in stock. Now they are asking me which one I want instead of MT4G. T-mobile LG G2X or Samsung Exhibit? Which one do you think is better? Thanks in advance.
get the g2x, exhibit is garbage.

I called Tmobile after you posted because I've had all kinds of battery issues even after replacing the battery and they are going to expedite ship me a Mytouch 4g slide! Guess today is a good day to call in! Thanks man!

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.
