Is it faster than the droid? Because right now I have the mytouch 3g and it is very slow. I saw my friend's droid and it is pretty fast. So I was wondering if the Mytouch 3g Slide is comparable to the droid.
I think its better the keyboard is way better its more spaced out. You will be suprised on how fast this phone is it really does fly its a great phone I haven't missed my mytouch 3g one bit!

Its way faster than a regular mytouch I came from a cliq xt and before that a regular mytouch sure this phone does not have a 1ghz processor but I have experienced no lag what-so-ever in my opinion I think you should definetly get this phone if not a nexus one if u can, but this phone will get froyo and altough I know there are better phones out there I will stick to this phone for a while, so yes you should get the mytouch 3g slide, and it is faster than the droid plus the slide has awesome features like faves(20) people and has the genius button so you should get this phone

lol please dont tell people they should get the phone because of the genius button. That is such a waste of a hardware button, I could see it being an icon on the screen but not a button. I attempted to make use of it by trying to use it when ever possible but in the end its faster to just do it your self than try and get the crappy voice recognition software to actually do what you want it to. When I finally get around to rooting I will be making the button an "end call" button.
Just as fast as the Evo and Droid incred trust me lol make sure u use a taskiller tho the mts seems to hoard n open random applications
@joe, lol I think think that is based on personal experience

Appears T-Mobile starting tomorrow is rolling out 2.2 for the Mytouch 3g. Hopefully shortly after the rest of the mytouch line will get 2.2. Still kinda weird to leave out the Mytouch 3g 3.5mm jack, Mytouch 3g fender, and mytouch slide.
http://www.tmonews.com/2010/10/t-mo...ceiving-android-2-2-froyo-beginning-tomorrow/
I'm guessing they had to start somewhere and the oldest phone should get the first update. They gave it a two week window, so hopefully the rest of them will get it next, with the Slide getting it last around mid November.

This must be a joke. I don't understand why the 1st myTouch would get the update before us and not only that, the phone is getting live wallpaper? Its a rumor.
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
Why wouldn't the older phone get the update first? (Plus the espresso is most likely the only reason its taking so long, if we were on stock then we'd probably already have it or it would be coming to us tomorrow like the original mytouch).
If you were using an older phone you'd be complaining the newer phones getting update before the old ones.
The 3G came out before the Slide, Ounc. How do you figure it's a joke?

Because what company you know takes a step backwards? No offense to mytouch 3g owners, but I have never seen anything like this. Has Apple ever updated. The old Iphones before the more current Iphones? Has. Windows done that? I could understand if the phones were 2 completely different phones. Like a Evo and G1. The mytouch 3g and mytouch slide are the same line of phones. The difference between these 2 are, the slide has a keyboard, better ram, better cpu, better camera, etc. Why wouldn't the more top of the line mytouch not get the update first? I completely understand that the mytouch 3g has been stuck on 1.6 for a while. I've had 2 mytouch 3g's. I stepped away from them thinking that if I buy the newer version (slide) I would be more up to date with both hardware and software. If I would of known then I would of just kept the mytouch 3g and wait awhile before I upgrade. How would the g2 owners feel if they knew that the g1 was getting Ginger Bread before them?

The reason is mytouch is getting vanilla froyo not that damned slide ui that tmobile threw on there. So they don't have to do all these changes they can just ship stock froyo. So its easier to ship.

I'm assuming that its getting Espresso because I read that it said something about changes to the UI plus there was mention in the past about the 3g getting the Genious button (virtual). I think the mytouch line is all switching over to Espresso if I'm not mistaken.

I don't think it's espresso sense purely based on the bullet point of having dedicated phone, all apps and browser shortcuts. That sounds like stock froyo. Espresso, at least with our 2.1 version, has dedicated phone, all apps and faves shortcuts.
Just a thought; everyone is so excited about a 2.2 update, I wonder if it's 2.2 or 2.2.1?

I don't see why not. The only thing that kept the G1's from running sense ROM's was the stock SPL was too small. HTC changed that for the original mytouch on up. A quick search in the magic/sapphire forum showed they ported it. It may be a stripped down version of it, like not having "my modes" themes.

I'm thinking a 2.2.1 update, HD should be getting it so if all else we just port over that one and be happy.
I'm really excited about getting 2.2 tho im a fan of espresso and just don't want to be with out froyo so this is going to be great once we finally get a hold of it.

Unfortunately, I don't think we'll be able to port it from the myTouch hd/4G/ whatever the hell they call it next. With a 3.7" (or is it 3.8") screen, it'll be HDPI whereas the Slide is MDPI screen resolution. That's why we haven't been able to port ROMs from the Desire or any other HDPI device.

Are you sure they weren't talking about the original mytouch? The timeline for that phone was that the update was to done by the 25th and there have been no mentions of the Slide update anywhere else, or the other versions of the mytouch, fender, 1.2. I don't think the rep understood you or got things confused. I wouldn't bet on an update starting then.

Could've sworn they were the same size screens, guess my source was wrong.
But yea that would make it a lot harder to port over, but seeing as it is espresso then perhaps someone will be more interested in porting it and take that time to make it happen for us, that is if we don't see it for the mts for a while after the HD release.
Although Google could easily scale everything from HDPI to MDPI with the HD Espresso. They are far more experienced with resources so it shouldn't take that long for them.
I don't know, looks like it's still a waiting game of "You'll see it soon" with no word on how soon is.

Interesting thought ... I wonder how much Espresso Sense has to do with the delay in development for the Slide. Also, I wonder how much (if any) Sense the original mytouch will get with the update. Additionally, how could a Slide with 2.2 be a threat to the mytouch HD? Features like a front facing camera, no keyboard, second gen 1Ghz chip and larger screen would probably be enough for the HD to hold its own against the Slide with 2.2. That said ... you may be on to something with your theory.

Idk about you, but with the speed of the slide i could do without the 1ghz processor. Slightly larger screen? Not enough to make too big a difference. No keyboard? No thx. Now it comes down the the ffc and 2.2 with sence. That is about the only real thing that could compell me.
Lets just hypothetically say the average slide user thought like me, theres just not enough to push us to drop a few hundred dollars on a new phone after just buying one 6 months ago (if that). If my slide had 2.2 with sence right now, i would be prefectly content to wait till the next mytouch that could really blow the slide out of the water and would laugh at the thought of buying the hd right now.
I honestly see myself holding onto the mytouch for at least another year, especially when 2.2 with sence arrives.

I always thought that having a physical keyboard would be a necessity for me, but since I started using SwiftKey, it's just not a draw any more. I can type much faster with SwiftKey than the real keyboard.
Honestly, I wish I could convince someone to trade their Vibrant for my Slide.

The keyboard really is slower than swype, but i like switching back and forth. Not sure why, just like hard keys sometimes.

There's a beta for the legend
http://derhofbauer.at/android/
It could be ported to slide but I think it's better to wait for actual espresso build instead. I think legend/aria roms will work on slide since it goes the other way around too, but that's possible by flashing a kernel on top of the rom. Not sure if that will work with CM7.
ahhhh, i see ha.. I wasn't even aware of such ROM for the legend.. yeah I'd to rather wait for an actual build for us slide users, It would save us time of porting it, etc.... I hope we at least will have stable wifi.
I have a build ready.. ported from the legend only thing is no menu/back/genius button or keyboard everything else works. I talked too cheifz reloaded and we cant figure it out so Im going back to compiling it from source, but if you guys wanna play with it ill upload it
