I don't get what you're asking? Are you asking the G2 forum for suggestions on phones that are comparable that are gonna trade with you?
If so, you've given us absolutely 0 information about how you want to use the phone or what features you're looking for...
And on top of that, I don't think you're going to find many people in the G2 Forum who think higher of a different device.

If I were you stick with this phone. I have an hd7 and don't use it so I sold it. Windows phones are just straight up boring. Mytouch 4g. Only real diffrence is screen is little bit biigger and no keyboard

Well I'm one of those people that likes to have different phones every now and then,so its either the hd7 or the mytocuh 4g,any suggestions will be appreciated.

Haha I see. From my personal experince with the HD7 it was a good phone but your limited on what you can do, for example the market is all most all paid apps. As for the mytouch 4g there's no reall diffrence since both are android platform but it uses modified sense ui by t-mobile. (I like stock sense since it has more options.)

Get the mt4g. I have both g2 and mt4g. Both are fast. Both are nce.

Mt4g is the work phone. Rooted running latest iced glacier with mysense uninstalled and adw with honey comb theme. Its nice

Dont get a MT4G its too similar to a G2, hardware wise. My recommendation is get a Nexus S, if you want to try something different.
HD7 is a windows phone and those are just boring. I agree something different and good would be the nexus S. If not then just go with the mytouch 4G.
Id wait a bit for something else to be released. Moving on from the G2 to something else right now is not really much different. If u insist, get the mt4g. I won't buy a windows phone too locked down and they are pigs.

How are you liking your mt4g? I am thinking of doing the same thing. I prefer the G2 but I want/need an ffc. Between voice input and Swype I do not think I need the physical keyboard as much anymore.
G2 has 512mb ram
Mt4g has 768mb ram

Which one would you choose? The 3.0 sense on the sensation looks so nice, if you have not seen videos of it you should definitely see it. The g2x is stock vanilla froyo, but it will gb soon after launch, also it has the tegra 2 processor and the sensation has tge quallcomm processor. Its very hard for me to choose.

I wouldn't get either. 1gb of internal memory... no thanks HTC.
Once the Evo 3D is available, I'm getting that.
T-Mobiles reception sucks where I moved to, but sprint has 4g available
Sent from my Samsung Vibrant using XDA App
G2X bootloader is wide open (Cyanogen's next device!), Sensation is locked. So choice is pretty obvious.
I haven't decided yet. I need to see some reviews and "usability benchmarks" (ie: how well the devices respond in general usage). The Vibrant puts down good benchmarks, but fails in everyday usability (it's laggy to respond, even with bionix, voodoo kernels, overclock). I think Samsung's source is to blame; they just can't write good code.

This is a non-issue for me. I'm getting fairly well tired of constantly flashing devices, downtime, **** being broken, waiting for code, etc. I just want a device that works.
Definitely the sensation. Better screen more ram, gingerbread and its one sexy beast of a phone. Since its an htc device then it'll definitely get cyanogenmod

In that case, if you want big, fast, and strongly supported phones, by a Nexus. Sure，the G2x and Sensation are both good, but Nexus phones will always be the ones to last the longest and be supported.

The g2x is pretty much a stock and it has a dual core processor. Also the sensation is a htc phone so that phone will get supported by cyanogen and other devs as well.

Don't get the G2x stock android messed up with Google's stock Android. The only true stock android imo is one in which Google controls updates, otherwise you are at the mercy of your carrier and manufacturer. The G2 has "stock android" and has yet to receive gingerbread.
G2x. For me due to it being stock. Well its either g2x or gs2, more than likely they both wont have locked bootloaders

Yeah but that's why we flash in the first place, to get our phones working the way they should have shipped. Though I understand, I'm slowing down a bit on the constant flashing. I just wouldn't expect a phone that works just the way you want out of the box. Though to answer your question, the G2x seems to have the lasting power, with vanilla Android, Tegra 2, a swift 2.3 update planned, and an unlocked bootloader if/when support is dropped and you decide to flash it to extend its life. However, I've heard some QC issues, bugs with it, not that HTC doesn't have its own problems with that.
Does the g2x have its own forum now? I saw the optimus 2x forums, but I dont know if its for the g2x. I wonder if its already out in europe because there are roms for the phone.

Thanks for the reply. What I noticed is that the Samsung has less RAM.
Samsung phones suck. Big time. No way in hell would I trade my phone for that piece if crap.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
i agree with the other posters...i had a samsung phone...never again...support sucks and will continue to suck
Actually, my girl has this phone, and has had no problems with it at all. while ive had to warranty out mine over four times now (mt4g), she hasnt even had a problem with it. if you are looking for something new, it wouldnt be a bad trade.
Agree with the rest..
The only products that Samsung makes that are decent are their dumbphones and the Galaxy Tab... Keep the MT4G and wait for the next gen on HTC phones...
My friend has a galaxy 4g, and we did a few tests:
Web browsing : glacier is faster
Camera: glacier is much faster, by that i mean the time from unlock to actually have a photo taken, i prob could have taken a pic and put my phone away before he takes a pic. but galaxy has builtin stitch but no flash.
Screen: i like the lcd better than led, the led has a blue tint to it unless you are looking straight on, the old galaxy had settings for tuning color, but cant find it in the 4g one.
Speaker : galaxy won for sure, glacier 's speaker is a joke.
Wifi module : galaxy can get on wifi within 5 seconds, my glacier takes at least 10, if not 15.
I am starting to like soft keys but rather have a track pad and deal with the clicking.
Mods: from what i have heard, galaxy doesn't have much of development.
TLR = no. Keep the myTouch 4G

Not much... ram is important, the more the merrier. Cpu you can always overclock but with ram you are stuck with whatever built-in. Besides, htc vs samsuck is no comparison at all. Just my 2 pennies

Overall the vibrant (original) is a great phone, it has 16 gigs of internal storage along with my 16 gig micro SD. But with the bad gps and the lack of updates and support from T-Mobile and Samsung. I got it from day one. I wouldnt still have it if it wasn't for the awesome devs on xda.

Wanted to know your thoughts on whether I should trade my mytouch 4g plus cash ($50) for an HTC Sensation 4G. I know the sensation is a very nice device, just not sure about the locked bootloader and dev support since it wont be T-Mobile's flagship device.

Save ur money and flash evil D's virtuous fusion 1.1.8
Seriously tho only thing u gain with sensation is screen size and dual core IMO, mt4g still can hang it out till the quadcore phones/higher end 35nm dualcore phones release.

Skip the Sensation and save your phone, just wait for the Quads like unk said, by that time we would have ice cream sandwich phones with no buttons and 720P resolution(better than qHD), Full HD Camera/vid, and who knows what else.
There is always gonna be a better phone that is going to be released. If you want the sensation and feel that its a good deal then go for it. The mt4g is still a great phone though and i probably wouldnt trade mine away.
Yeah I've been thinking about it and I'm leaning toward keeping the mytouch 4g because I feel it will have a larger user group (which means more support as far as rooting/ROMs). Also, not sure if the bootloader will be unlocked on the Sensation 4G.

Just get the sensation then...It is better in performance since you have neither just get the higher-end one. But I would recommend you to wait for the SGII or ICS phones at the end of the year. But I'm getting very repetitive in explaining why you should get one or the other.

True. I was looking at the sensation forums and it seems like an unlock is very close, official or not. some people were "accidentally" sold sensations with S-OFF and root.
I would do it, $50 Imo is not that much especially when you're getting a sweet looking and powerful phone like the sensation. I am very very happy with my mytouch but if I was offered that deal than I would definitely pull the trigger! If you got the money then do it but if you really don't then don't even think about it just don't do it. Either way I would still upgrade to kai-el. I am off contract so don't really have to worry about termination fees or early upgrading. Thank god!

agree....very good arbitrage situation.
i would get the sensation
I love root and I root every phone I get my hands on before I even log into my Google Account, and the lack of root on the Sensation really pains me. Honestly, all I want is Titanium Backup capabilities so I can transfer my data from games such as Aqua Pets and the various Kairosoft games.
The phone is super sexy, but I guess I'm a "Power-User", cause it only takes a few minutes for my battery level to TANK. Example - Week after power cycling the phone (so hopefully this battery is "conditioned" enough), I leave my house at 8am and around 815 I start downloading Audible books over HSPA+. I lose service at 840 when my train goes underground, and when I get to work 10 minutes later, I'm at 76% already.
The 4G KILLS this phone, and I need Juice Defender Ultimate on EXTREME just to make it through the day.
Comparatively, my MT4G on stock battery last slightly longer under the same circumstances.
So I would recommend holding out on this phone for maybe a month or so. I'm not going to return it, I love it, and Sense 3.0 is actually quite nice. The weather animations and the carousel are nice touches, as are the lockscreen shortcuts and "themes". It's not a bad skin to stock Android, and it doesn't seem to slow the phone down.
There is a ton of useless bloatware on the phone, and some stuff that might be running in the background, so root would be awesome to have to trim the fat in that sense (pun intended).
Hi everyone.
Im upgrading my tmobile contract next week. And since I cannot wait for personal reasons.. and there arent any better phones out for tmobile, my choices came down to Sensation or G2X... Now i read some reviews on both.
Htc sensation now has gorilla glass which is what i loved about my vibrant. Supposedly they fixed the power on and off issue with the firmware update on g2x.
I read that sensation even tho has a bigger screen has a better pixel density... but has poor standards "4g"... this is what pc mag wrote about sensation: "T-Mobile advertises this as a "4G" phone, but it isn't, even by T-Mobile's standards. This is an HSPA 14.4 phone. That's fast, to be sure, but not the HSPA+ 42 that's T-Mobile's fastest network, or even the HSPA+ 21 used by the T-Mobile Sidekick 4G and Galaxy S 4G."
and it says exactly the same for g2x 's "4g modem" ... the funny thing that here in New York City where I live I get 5m data speed on a regular with my vibrant! and these "4g" phones pretty much equal my vibrant data speeds..
So overall please help me make a decision.. But please be as knowledgeable as you can. Since whenever i chose a phone I tend to use it for at least a year or more.
Thank You all!!!!
Also correction: I just ran a speedtest app from the first very run i scored 6110kbps download speed on my 3g vibrant .... and 1698kbps upload speed.
Sensation is definitely more appealing and are from HTC. But the g2x is very slimmed down and does not have some crazy memory sucking ui on top. Plus it now runs gb stock. G2x is my vote

Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I have a Sensation, but I had a G2x for about a week before I sold it to get another Vibrant. The G2x was very problematic, it kept randomly rebooting and the screen bleed drove me insane. Sensation is way more stable and IMO looks better, sure G2x comes with AOSP GB but we'll have AOSP ROMs on S4G soon. If you decide Sensation isn't for you, then maybe look at the upcoming Samsung Hurcules.

Sensation! That's my opinion. Good luck with your choice.
I'd pick the sensation, the devs that have that phone are really great.
Neither I'd wait for another, but Sensation > g2x
People who have both would also agree there.
Would I be better off getting a vibrant 4g for now... since it has a good quality front facing cam and fast "4g" ?

Guys 2 final questions...
Im probably leaning more towards sensation rather than g2x due to screen bleeds and weird 800x400 resolution on g2x...
heres my question.. how does sensations GPU compare to vibrants? is sensations graphic chip better than our vibrant or on par or vibrant is better?
and Q #2 : Pretty much sensation "4g" is not even slightly faster than vibrants 3g+? or w.e. its called... I remember when tmobile updated its network they said a few new phones at that time like our vibrant would benefit from it... and that probably explains why i get 5mpbs - 6 on my 3g vibrant... So are the data speeds the same or sensation is still slightly faster?
and if you want to add any additional information to why or why I shouldnt get that phone please do so, I want to be as knowledgeable as possible about a phone before I buy it
Thanx again
Always go HTC over "most" brands.
Ur choice in the end but I have a correction to make, g2x has gorilla glass. Both great phones. G2x has faster 4g speeds. Screen goes to sensation bur not really by much. Sensation has more devs working on it now so go with the sensation. If g2x gets more devs def get it. Not a lot of devs out there for this phone but I aprecciate all devs
