MT3G Slide vs G2 vs Garminfone

So my MyTouch 3G Slide is bricked.
So I filed a claim with Asurion, and they are offering me either a T-Mobile G2 or a Garminfone.
Which one should I get and is it better than the MT3G Slide?
Give me some comparisons.

G2. Bigger screen, processor and overall a better phone.

I cant believe he's even asking this since the garmin is thrash, tried one in store and it sucked. The G2 is obviously the better choice out of the 2 xD.

G2 is a good choice, I'm not too sure about that Garminfone... Never really looked one up, but it's looking like that was the one to go with.
What was disappointing about the Slide? I've just rooted mine so I've still got enthusiasm about it.

It had so many errors, and after I rooted it, it got worse.
I even did the fix by ROM Manager to fix FC's.
Rooting sucked. Flash didn't work for websites, the FN and CAPS lights didn't work, and icons kept moving themselves.
Using the LED with the camera would always cause a FC. No avatar for the user.
Later it bricked by itself after 3 months of smoothness.

Just went to Asurions website to see if this was accurate and it is and it also says the phone is no longer even being made, at least in black. So then I went to T-Mo's website and they don't even have black listed to be bought as new, so it appears gentlemen this phone is dead and is not even being made anymore.

Did you call saurian or tmobile?

Went throiugh the process of a claim and didn't finish, and it offered me the G2 or Garminfone as it did with the OP, and it stated those were your choices due to the device you have no longer being made After that I went to T-Mo's retail site and saw you can not buy a black Slide new as of now.

Wow, I wasnt even aware that the slide reached EOL so soon, but then again they dont even show the commercials for it anymore.

Why is there a deductible though if the phone had a problem like it will not charge isn't that supposed to be free?

There policy may not allow a free phone, so they only take a portion off the price.

My brother-in-law called tmobile today because he had a problem with his slide and they said they were gonna send him out another black one? How is he going to receive a new slide if they don't make them anymore. Where does it say where they are not being made anymore? Does anyone have a link?

It said it as you make a claim through Asurion. Now if you go to T-mos site they sell refrubed black ones still but not new ones. Maybe Asurion can't get them anymore but T-Mo still can.

Is going through tmobile the only way of getting a phone without having to pay a deductible?

after a couple calls to t-mobile trying to get my phone replaced (camera cover fell off at some point and there is a crack in the camera lens) they refused and stated that i had to file a claim through asurion because the phone is "damaged". me not wanting to pay a $130 deductible for an a problem that was not my fault, didn't file a claim till after reading this so i went through the process and sure enough i get the G2 offered to me instead. i gladly paid the deductible and am expecting my phone tomorrow. Glad i didn't pull the trigger on that nexus s last week.

But then you would have two phones(G2+N-S) and you could sell the G2 and profit.

G2 End of life!

Just saw this.... just as I was looking to get one!

That's a bunch of crap if you ask me. Great phone, one of the only decent phones with a decent keyboard.

Wow. I've had mine since Nov. Came from a G1, I don't think they will send us referb G2's cause I had a Sidekick LX and they day the sidekick 2008 came out my LX broke and they sent me a brand new 2008. So if anything we may be in luck with Mytouch 4G S. But nine months is such a short time to issue EOL. Where's the update anyway?

They have to make room for the Sensation. After thats out for awhile then they will probably release the g2 replacement. Besides, they probably have enough in insurance to cover the people with a g2.

You crazy if you going to get a G2, when Sensation and Galaxy s2 are coming out. Unless you need a keyboard, I see no reason to get it over the other two. Plus you can buy a S2 or sensation when it comes out and sell it on ebay and buy 2 or 3 used g2.

Reasons are simple:
I want a full keyboard,
The price is right (48.88 on upgrade at Wal-Mart)
I don't wanna wait for the Doubleshot,
I don't like the hardware specs of the Sidekick, nor do I want samsung.
Did I mention the price at wal mart? (Cost is a huge deal when you are supporting a family and a mortgage!)
On a happy note, 4g is starting to show up on phones in SE wyoming!

I cant believe this myself but sound like the G series maybe a thing of the past with ATT in the picture. I dont understand how can you drop your best phone! lol

Well I guess this means we won't be getting gingerbread

I'm sure we will, In the article is says nothing about us not getting gingerbread. Just be patient and wait until next month before you worry about it.

The G2 is T-Mobiles freaking most reliable android phone weve carried since the day it came out. I work in one of the most high volume stores in the country and we get the G2 with issues atleast once per 3 weeks and we still manage to trouble shoot and fix the issue on the phone. We don't have any phone that compares to it. Its been 8 months or so since its release and it still rapes in sales . Amazing!!! All you idiots that complain about being on your 3rd or 4th phone. There's one thing we always say in store... "USER ERROR!!!!!!!".I had the phone one month before release and rocked it till about two weeks ago, I got the G2x...still rock solid. Punks!!!
hahaha he makes me feel proud about my good ol' G2

Damn, what the ****?? I don't understand why they're pulling the plug on the G2 when phones like MyTouch 3G Slide is still available.. If anything, do away with that one before you do it on the G2 which is by far a better phone in every single aspect than the MT3GS.

T-mobile needs to get their priorities in order. Mytouch 3G and 3G slide are still sold. They just put G1 on EOL last year I believe. G1 had 3 years of life. While we G2 users only get 9?

Now, tell me something. What will Gingerbread do for us? My friend is using Gingerbread and he said that there is barely a difference between 2.2 and 2.3. ,

One good thing I can say about this is the g2s will be rare since they won't be in production. Meaning if we want to sell ours we can bump the price. Ha

Hmm I'm trying to trade mine now for a Nexus S and every buyer wants at least $90 on top. What you said has got me thinking about holding on to it, since mine is in pretty good condition.
But yeah its sad to see the G2 gone. I think with the end of the G2 comes the end of the G series, especially if the the Tmobile buyout goes through.

I suspect one of the major reasons is the sheer number of hardware issues the device has faced - particularly with the screen. I'm on my third g2 in only 8 months and i handle my devices with care (unless you count stock OS which I gutted for cm7 ). Honestly, when i returned my g2 for warrant repair last time I was hoping they could replace it with a different device. Guess not - still, what this will do give those needing warrant repair a way out of the g2 hardware issues and boost the price for well maintained g2s on ebay.

I'm thinking this has to do with something an earlier poster said. The G series may be going away. Despite the G1 being the genesis of Android, nobody in the "mainstream" knows that. Ask an average joe what the first Android phone was, and I'll bet money they'll respond with "the Droid". Marketing does a lot.
I just find it strange how the G2 has been killed off prematurely and how the G2X is "temporarily out of stock". Throw in all of LG's manufacturing woes and the impending release of the MyTouch 4G slide, and the G series looks to be in trouble. Knowing T-Mobile, they'll want to highlight the "consumer-friendly" (and really cheesy, IMO) MyTouch line of phones. Just a theory... I actually hope I'm wrong.

I don't see any particular reason for them to continue with the HTC VISION. The HTC DOUBLESHOT (very soon) is basically the same exact phone with a CPU upgrade and a front facing camera... possibly more RAM and internal storage as well. The screen is identical, probably the exact same part, the keyboard is very very similar, etc. Probably the same mainboard with a few different parts soldered onto it, and a different casing.

Also I wonder how much of this has to do with a push to retire phones lacking FFC and NFC - increasingly becoming standard components for android devices.

would you trade g2 for g2x?

i used to have a g1. bought it the month after it came out. then got the g2 a month after it came out. i love my g2.
i may come into an opportunity to get a g2x for my g2. would you trade? i know the g2x has some issues but i'm gunna flash it so it should fix most problems. plus dual-core, 4.1'', front facing cam, hdmi? seems like a pretty good upgrade.
any1 get a g2x after having a g2? howd you feel after switchin?

I got the G2x before selling my G2, I do miss my G2 though, great phone!
I traded my wifes mytouch 4g for another G2 (so I can go back if I want to).
I haven't had any problems out of my G2x but, some have had problems.
If you have the opportunity to mess around with the G2x for awhile to make sure it doesn't have any problems that have popped up with others, I would go for the trade.
Even better if they want to do even trade.

I say its definitely worth it. However if you use the keyboard a lot and can't live without it then well things change

Family member just got one, rebooted twice in the car back, and turns off every time it's plugged in, so no lol.
Little research shows that phone is having MAJOR issues. Hardware is amazing, but tmobile and lg need to pull the whole line until these issues aren't as rampant.
Sent from my T-mobile G2

Nope, it's not HTC. LG's always have buttloads of issues, and terrible software support. If you think HTC is slow with them, you won't even get them after 6 months with LG.

Never been a fan of LG when it comes to phones.. just bad experiences with them. I have no problems with the G2, so I don't see any real need to change it to the G2x.

Lack of qwerty will definitely hold me off from getting g2x

No physical keyboard is a dealbreaker. Im also loyal to HTC as well.
Sent from my AOSP Virtuous Desire Z using XDA App

If u are using the keyboard a lot you probably don't want the g2x. And it's an LG, I wouldn't go for it.
I am very happy with my urooted (yet) DZ for now.

I actually purchased a G2X 2 days ago and returned it. The main deal breaker was the lack of trackpad. I'm now back to my G2 and loving it.

Wait for mytouch 4g slide
Is it a straight trade or you adding cash? If it's a straight trade do it, and then sell the phone and buy the G2 back.
Had a G2x, I miss the keyboard so went back to G2. Typing without looking is always a +.

Definitely not worth it. Roommate has one and even after two returns its still a piece of junk even on stock rom. Random reboots, doesn't hold a charge for ****, lockups, white around the edge of the screen, and that's just touching the surface. Its a GORGEOUS phone and when it actually works it rocks, but like I said a year ago, the first gen dual cores were all gonna have problems that needed worked out. And his phone proves it.

The G2X looked really promising, but unfortunately people are having issues with it. I think it looks like a great device. I'm already seeing them for sale as low as $300 though. Its really a shame I thought this would be another good addition to the "G" line of phones for T-mobile.
I think some of the steam got taken from it when the Sensation 4G was announced as well.
If someone offered me one for my G2 I'd probably give it a whirl. I definitely don't think its a big downgrade or anything like that.

It doesn't even deserve to be part of the G series honestly. It's made by LG (don't even get me started with LG). So I don't even count it as part of that phone line.

Well I promised myself that I would never buy another LG phone again. So no.

Build quality on the devices is amazing though. The screens used in them IMO not so great, but they are pretty sturdy phones, especially the 4g, so if the 4g slide is anything like the 4g as far as build quality then I'd get one, I'm not THAT much of a fan of the design, but it's a good upgrade from a G2 I think. Dual Core 1.2ghz and once it's rooted and we get CM7 running on it, it's going to be a badass phone. I definitely see the improvement over a single core phone when I used my G2x, even my Nexus S OC'd to 1.3ghz wasn't as smooth as my G2x, so I'm definitely eyeing that 4g slide.

Well I kinda got confused about it not having a keyboard. The G1 and G2 had keyboards, then all of a sudden they come out with the G2x from a different manufacturer with no keyboard. Idk.
LG hardware isn't the best, and I guess that's reflected in the current going sales price.

Having held the g2x I REALLY like the hardware, software is what is killing this thing.

My phone got stolen and I just realized the g2 is discontinued. My sisters galaxy s got stolen too but got a galaxy s4g. But for me... what I am going to get? What would tmobile consider an equal phone? Thanks guys

They have plenty of refurb G2's to give out still. Discontinued just means they aren't selling them new anymore.
If you're really lucky you'll get a MT4G Slide.

they will not give you a G2....my friend was given a choice of 2 phones...one was the mytouch slide 4g...the other one I think it was the sidekick...

I would rather take a refub g2 than a mt4g slide or sidekick, man this blows lol

you can find a brand new G2 on ebay still sealed in the box, not refurb but brand new, just have to keep your eyes open.
I bought one on ebay about 3-4 weeks ago for $325 factory sealed!

Insurance won't pay for a phone from eBay... but I wouldn't worry too much about it. Refurbished phones are 'like new.'

It makes no difference anyway, it is trivial to change the IMEI once its been gfree'd.

Next time, install the app called Prey - it is like Lojack for your phone - it will use GPS, text records, calling patterns and even the phone's camera to quickly locate your phone and then you can go over and pick it up from the thieves with the police with you and they will take the bad guys to jail!

That makes no sense AT ALL.

ummmm..... not really - the DOUBLESHOT (myTouch 4G slide) is a good phone, but it's no G2 - it's made cheaper and less elegant than the G2 (cost savings) and has more bloat, so not really faster in real life, it's actually slower! - and it has worse battery life, and more megapixels doesn't mean a better camera, and with the tiny sensor that these phones have, anything over 5 megapix is a WORSE camera.
and the G2 has much better developer support here on XDA - I wouldn't trade my new G2 for a new DOUBLESHOT
ever wonder why the G2 has a substantially higher user rating than the DOUBLESHOT on both GSM arena & phonescoop?

Yup I've tried the double shot and like I said I rather have the g2 refub or if they offer me the doubleshot or the sidekick I can wait a week or two, save up and buy a new in box on ebay or maybe a used one in good shape or upgrade to a slate like the gs2
the reviews says it all it has a dualcore yes but is much slower than any other dual core out there and frankly like others said the my line sucks, it is made cheaply, feels cheap on the hand, and with sense bs, even worse, and the developement is just starting too, and I'm too used to cyanogen goodness, also to me fron facing camera is something I wouldn't use really, I'm not obsessed with my self to take pics every 5 seconds or ever video chat on my phone. Lol

F that your rooted next time install cerberus!

Not familiar wirh cerbelus, that would be like the other apps, also what if they change the sim card? Would still find it?

How about the htc sense? Can we detect our phone if they already change the sim & no using data? If im not mistaken, htc sense only can be use when we using data.

So I did an insurance clsim on my g2 and they told me it was on back order and didn't know when they would have it. So needing a phone I just went and picked up the g2x. Then the next day the g2 shows up at my house. So now I have a new g2 that I need to sell. But I had to pay 130 for the claim so I need to sell it for atleast that preferrably more. A local phone store offered me 165 for it but I thot I should see if one of my fellow xda members wanted it first. If your interested send me an offer either in the post or pm me. Thanks guys, later

I dunno, I'm pretty sure mine was brand new from a warranty replacement from Tmobile. It came with android 2.2 still on it and if it is a refurb they did such a good job I can't tell. Also, they told me, "We'll send you a new or like new device", so isn't it possible to get a brand new one from leftover stock?

I see, well maybe they have a stock of new ones they never sold or possibly it is a refurb and they put 2.2 on it assuming you'll update it after powering up. Either way I couldn't tell the difference, it's a flawless refurb if that is in fact what it is.
I'm not 100% that all DZ's have the same radio but one from Roger's Canada will work on AT&T 3G, not sure about HSPA+ though and the G2 functions on TMo. Vague answer I know, but it's all I have right now.

Yeah it would most likely get edge only. That's what happens if you put a G2 on AT&T so I would expect similar results if you put one on Rogers
Sent from my Bulletproof G2

the difference between the rogers/bell DZ and the tmo G2 is the 3G band it supports. the tmo version only supports tmo's 3g bands (2 bands, 1 for up and 1 for down) while the rogers/bell support 3 (i think), one of which is compatible with AT&T's 3G band.
that and the G2 does not have Sense while the DZ comes with sense 2.1
i think that's about all the real differences between them.

Sounds like this would be a great 3G device for anyone in Canada on wind or Mobilicity (it is really hard to find a good android with a keyboard in Canada that works with Mobilicity and Wind).....I'm getting 3G data with my T-Mobile G2 on Mobilicity.

no because i didnt do an insurance claim.. i did a warranty echange through tmobile, but paid for it. i actually think i found a way to get a new fone cheaper than paying the $130. see if u call t-mo and tell them something is wrong with ur fone and u want to do a warranty exchange, they send u a new device (or refurb or w.e they send.) u send ur old one back and if they determine that it was something u did to the phone, they only charge u $105 to ur account. now u got a new phone for $30 dollers cheaper than insurance. well it seems my forum has stranded away from its origin. is anyone interested in this phone or jus determining whether its new or refurbed. lol

Id be interested in buying it off you depending on how much more than 130 you want..I'm still using a g1 and would love to upgrade to this phone as I've wanted to for a while

Dudes rockin a G1, sell it to him for the price of shipping, its only fair! everyone deserves a G2!

All i can say sell it to the store if no one want to give you 165 and up .

if you get no love here, put it on ebay, my brand new sealed G2 cost me $325 to my door last month! - and that is a typical amount they bring there.
I'd buy it for my girlfriend but I already spend WAY too much money on women!

SOLD IT GUYS THANX
