G2 vs. Desire Z... lol

The G2 sucks! Why does the Desire Z get "Sense" and a "frontfacing camera"... g2 to desire z= hd2 to Evo

Nice opinion... here's mine, since we're sharing:
Sense sucks. Ffc is nearly useless.

threads like these make me wish i was a moderator.... seriously, like comon you are talking about Z having a sense? you DO know that once root is accomplished, it would be super easy to load custom roms on the G2 right... and i;m pretty sure devs would work one up with sense.
and as far as ffc is concerend... the desire Z doesnt have one.... correct me if I'm wrong

yup, he sure did a fail rant lol.

You do know that once the G2 gets nand unlocked we will be able to install Sense onto it right...And like the people above me said, the Desire Z does not have a front facing camera, sigh.

Hide your kids, hide your wife, there's a rantist in XDA Forums... You stupid, you soo stupid. You don't have to turn yourself in, yunghit, we gonna find you. Yunghit, you dumb, you soo dumb.

I'd much rather have vanilla android anyway. It should make getting gingerbread a smidge faster. I want that so bad, I don't care if it's a big nothing. It's the wait that's killing me.

I am sorry to break this to you but ginergerbread is mostly concentrated on UI changes like colors.... its going to be green instead of yellow for status bars and all. Also, they are concentrating on integrated video calling (hence FFC stuff) and better usability for tablets...

I know, but I'm kinda hoping to be surprised. And the sooner it comes out, perhaps the sooner we get permanant root.

FFC? Who cares? How many of your friends REALLY have a phone with an FFC? Okay, maybe all of one or two if one happens to have an Evo and another happens to have an iPhone 4. And you're really inclined to call either of these people versus texting them? Right. And since you're so inclined, now you really have to use up your strength to hold your phone a foot away from your body in order for the camera to get your whole face in the camera for the entire conversation?
If you answered yes to all these questions, you are in a very small, small minority.

And you are sending this retarded post from your Nexus One which has neither Sense nor a front facing camera. Personally, I don't need a ffc, I have an iPod Touch 4g if I ever really need to see the person on the other end. Don't need Sense either, already have Launcher Pro and Beautiful Widgets and Weather/Toggle Widget from the market. I can customize my G2 a different way for every day of the year. Sense sucks.

As much as I hate to make unneeded posts ...

Holy Sh*t The HTC HERO 4G!!!

If you're like me and your first Android phone was the HTC HERO, then you gotta read this article. Talks about it's successor...
HTC HERO 4G (Kingdom)
I think I just found my next Droid!!!

Yeah, I saw Android Police post this on Google+ yesterday. I like the 4" display over 4.3"
Could very well be my next device.. Assuming nothing better comes out between now and February

Yes my first Android was the HERO. The new on looks great, but the no keyboard thing is an issue for me.

Think this could be my next device....

I'm liking this better than the 3D for sure if it does come with a 4" screen. I will have my Shift for two more years though... Maybe one if I like what's released next summer, though I will only be a 9 year vet of Sprint next summer so I would still have to pay more than I want. I don't see myself ever owning a device with a screen larger than 4" if I can help it.

Looks good, but no kb = not for me.

Keyboard doesn't really matter to me, the Shift was more about size. I think I could deal with a 4" screen

We can overclock our shifts to 1.2ghz and be fine lol.
It looks to me as there doing the same thing they did with the original hero.
Making it look great but the hardware is crap compared to the the other android devices

Yup it sounds like the HERO will be a step below the EVOS.

+1 too big a step unfortunantley. In the era of 2011 you can't have single core proccesors anymore lol. Only thing I could think to make up for it is if it was the new snapdragon Krait proccessors which are appearently 75% more battery effecient

Honestly, I could do with a bit less processing power if it got me a better battery life. To me, battery life is the biggest downfall of Android phones. I just got a 1900mAh battery (slim, no cover needed), we'll see if it makes much difference...fingers crossed.

I wouldn't call a 1.2gHz phone crap. It won't be as fast as a dual core, like the 3D, but it will be faster than the shift, and have a larger, higher resolution display, plus Sense 3.0 from the start (I'm assuming this last part, since the resolution is 960x580, or whatever the 3D is). Plus, more ram, and possibly more rom than the shift.
It's nice to see "mid-range" phones with some decent specs, and not really far off from the halo phones. Depending on when I make my next phone purchase, I may get the Galaxy S2. I would really like my next phone to have a Super AMOLED screen.

ATT Galaxy S 2 to have keyboard...named Attain.

I am actually interested in this because I've been looking for a QWERTY phone and myself having ATT this looks like a great investment...thoughts?

I think it looks good. I miss having a hard keyboard, ever since my touchpro 2. And as long as its not a brick like the epic, I would grab one.

Addition of a keyboard will hurt the sales of this phone UNLESS they also offer a non-keyboard version.

If its tegra 2 I'm straight cuz its just another generic android phone with official TW4 an keyboards can suck it

I like the physical keyboard and also miss the one from my touchpro 2. That said I won't switch to AT&T to get one and if they absorb T-Mobile I'll be leaving... I can swype just about as fast as I can thumb type anyway

Listen. I was a sidekick freak..
I had Sidekick 1, 2, 3, Slide, LX, and then finally I went into the T-Mo store last June and said hey my sidekick is brokens! is there a new one out?
Well, lets just say they discontinued them back then haha, and well I waited 2 weeks for the Galaxy S and now i'm enjoying NOT having a keyboard for over a year.

I'm pretty sure most of you guys don't want a keyboard because you're used to a slim light phone.
I personally don't care as long as it is good quality and feels nice. Yea ATT sucks but I have it and have to live with it.
So yea..

Talk for yourself, I actually like physical keyboards.
G1 keyboard was the best, but swype is great alternative.

Yea, I am impartial towards keyboard. Grew up with as I went through my smartphones (BJ, 2x BJ2, Propel Pro, G1), so I can't really say I hate them but I do like the size of slimmed down phones with no KB.
Also, the Attain might be different in coding. IIRC, the Epic (the keyboard version of SGS) was the most different in coding and couldn't port of froyo because of hardware differences?

I wish tmo was getting a gs2 version.. Im feeling a little jealous.. . Lol
Any rumored superphones coming to tmo besides the gigantic Hercules?
Oh tmo...

thank you sir. took the words right outta my mouth

Thinking of switching phones. Help with another option?

I love the My touch 4G to death, but my wife doesn't seem to like it much. So, I'm need to find something to replace hers. Her's is being used unlocked on AT&t. So, does anyone have any suggestions? On eBay I can sell it for $200-240 so, i'd like to sell it and buy a replacement. It needs to be GSM (AT&T or T-Mobile phones are fine), in my price range and have similar specs. I have really can't think of anything. She hates it so bad she's using her old Samsung Magnet until I find her something :/ lol

It'd help to know the specific things your wife does not like about the MyTouch 4G.

She can't make text messaging signature and it doesn't have a keyboard :/
I've already talked to her..... There is no reasoning.

I've never heard of a text messaging signature before.
Good to know about the other thing, though. So the only requirement is a hard keyboard?

Stick with the my touch..
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

For the text message signature she could try using Go SMS Pro in the market.
The only gsm android phone I can think of with a keyboard is the G2. I've used it in the past though and found it to be slightly slower than the MyTouch due to the smaller ram and lower processor speed. I agree that she should stick with the MyTouch.

If anything don't get the g2 I had it. It's slow as hell outside the stock Rom. Has a good build quality to it though.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium

if she wants to have a physical keyboard then your gonna have to switch phones, id say go for the mytouch 4g slide just cuz it would be a more familiar platform and cuz the g2 would be a downgrade in hardware

Hard to imagine not liking the phone over those two reasons. Swype is so much better and faster than conventional texting. And as for the signature, I'm not rooted and I use GO SMS. As already mentioned, it has the option to add a signature. Plus it's much better than the stock text. JMO. Each to their own I guess.

After a solid year with my MT4G (which I am still in love with...) I just bought the GSII
Have to say so far, this phone's bad ass.

Haha, thanks man appreciate that. I just wanted a change, and a slightly bigger screen.
And in anticipation of ICS, I figured a dual core processor like the Tegra2 would be better to run ICS. And I like the build quality and hardware of the G2x. Pretty top notch. Plus the re-sale value is better, I hate how the MT4G is so cheap nowadays.

So you haven't had any issues with the G2X? Currently I'm choosing b/t the G2X & Sensation, but I'm not really sure which is better. I thought G2X had backlight bleeding or something like that. But, I'm leaning to the Sensation since I wanted a higher res.

No, G2x has been perfect so far. I love the Tegra 2 because it never heats up with light useage like Snapdragon's. And the build quality and external speakers are great. I have slight screen bleed on the top right. But I don't notice it unless the screen is all blacked out with high brightness. So it's no real issue.
I would probably chose the Sensation because oh the qHD and slightly bigger screen. But the G2x is great too.

Mostly because it's VERY hard to adapt a whole different framework and kernel across different manufacturers. Even with the same manufacturer it isn't always easy (Nexus One still doesn't have a proper Sense 3 ROM, while its cousin Desire has it running stable for months - because kernel adaptation without source isn't easy).
Too much work, too little to gain.
