Comparing the screen to the iPhone, is it glass or plastic?
I'm switching from iPhone to Evo but I have not had the chance to hold one and compare build quality.
My question is how much lag is there? Not just the home screen but the apps. FOr instance, when you open messages, how long does it take to display things? That's the number one thing I hate about Sense. Too much f-ing lag.
joecrack305, if you're in miami let me know which store so that i can come check it out.

omg I hate you!
Wait for the op's pic.
sorry havent responded
i have both hero and iphone and they feel plastic, the evo def feels like glass.
lag wise not existent at all i swear its so smooth
jvs60 - no ones technically suppose to know about us having the evo, but every corp store in america has one person with a evo. my supervisor is the one with the evo and i know my manager def wouldnt be a happy camper if i told you to swing by, but go to any store in miami and ask to see the evo advocates phone test your luck.
tried seeing one at my local corporate sprint store. met the advocate who had it, said he was sworn to not show it off or he would get in trouble.
it is so awesome. I feel like the guy from the burger king commercial who has the small hands and hates going to burger king when I am holding it. It is pretty big, and comes with an 8gb card in it. No lag at all when putting live wallpapers on there (unlike my rooted hero). Damn I love this phone!
giddyup!
I feel like such a school girl! This thing won't be out for another 3 weeks, and I'm scouring the internet for everything EVO!
From what I've seen online, the lag is minimal...remember it has a Snapdragon 1Ghz Processor in it...Go play with a HD2 and you'll get a feel for the speed...Android 2.2 is supposed to be faster than 2.1 from what i heard also.

Coverage reasons in my local area.
They are great in metros but in rural coverage is spotty and most of the time roaming. At least around here.

Can you play with the keyboard? Is it easy to type and stuff? I am coming from using a slide out keyboard so I am kinda worried about having to start using a onscreen keyboard.
thanks
The hero was my first onscreen keyboard and the iPhone was my second
The hero I'd give a 7
the iPhone 10
evo so far a 10
The screen is so big and easy to type on it's amazing for the hero I use swype now and I will probably use that in the evo when I switch
Now that the Slide is out, waiting for 2.1-- 2.2 SOON!
The Slide has been released today and it comes with 2.1. Since MY3G is supposed to get 2.1 as well, I wonder how much longer it will take. I haven't rooted since last time I tried, I bricked the phone. So I've been patiently waiting for the official ROM. Come on TMO!
EDIT:
So Tmo heard our prayers and have answered them. They will release 2.2 for Mytouch 3G soon. yes!
I was told by our HTC rep yesterday at my store that they expect to start rolling out updates by 16th but it could take up too a month for everyone to get theirs. So just watch for the alerts.
Re: Now that the Slide is out, waiting for 2.1
I couldn't take waiting, so I just rooted my phone.

Good to know, I'll be on the edge till the 16th. I've waited this long, guess a couple of weeks more to go. Wonder if they'll be a way to disable the Sense UI from it.

so how does it run with no sense and i different launcher
much faster. sense really bogs down the system in all honesty even with the speed it has coming straight from t-mo. My g1 was running just as fast one 1.6 as the slide was with sense on it.
howd you uninstall the the launcher and install another with out root???
Ok heres my story...I called T-Mobile 2 weeks ago, spoke to a rep in Android Tech Support, named Jessica...She said that it was coming to the MyTouch 2.1 most definately, but didnt have any idea as to when......Today I called T-Mobile again (just to hype myself up) and I spoke to a guy named Andre.....He at first said, "There are NO plans to release such an update, where did you hear about this?' I told him The T-Mobile.com forum...and several other sites...He went on to say, "Well that's just here say and thats the public talking, not T-mobile or Android."....Then said, "Wait I'm going to put you on hold and ask another representative who is taking classes for the MyTouch.".....So I wait.....5 minutes later he comes back and says, "Yeah sir there are NO future plans to release such an update."..So I asked, "How do you guys expect us to keep up to date with all your phones, when you release on every other month?"....He said, "Well that's technology sir."....I laughed and hung up.....
I would like other XDA members to call and ask the same ? and see how many different answers we can get....Maybe ONE DAY well get to see our MyTouches updated..
And come to think about it, We never recieved a SINGLE SYSTEM UPDATE EVER for the MyTouch...
I got a unlocked T-Mobile myTouch Fender LE, and currently using it on Wind Mobile network in Canada. If and when T-Mobile releases 2.1 OTA update, will I get a notification as well? Do I have to present physically in US with a T-mobile SIM card to get that update? I have been patiently waiting for the update for quite sometime, and so I didn;t root it yet. Any ideas, guys.

Google the name Andrew Sherrard. He's in charge of this who update operations and what not. He's been spewing info about the 2.1 updates for the past 4 months for the MyTouch. What has he told us? We will get a genius button, we won't get sense ui, an OTA may not be realistic but instead we might need to copy the update to an SD card wipe and flash. Expected to be out in Q2-Q3
Call my T-Mobile store btw.. (503) 362-0251
I'll tell you everything I know and so will everyone else working in the store.

So you're actually able to uninstall Sense UI? Would that leave it with a bare 2.1? If it ends up looking like an N1 that would be brilliant.

Anyway is MT 3G Slide a GSM phone?
I want to import it to Europe, but CDMA phones like Sprint doesent work here...
I've read recent reports that 2.1 won't have sense ui on the mytouch.. that would be sweet.

its kinda tricky i heard that to but apparently there calling it slide ui. so i think there just throwing every one off slide is tmobiles version of sense. so they can say it wont get sense ui but i bet if you ask them about slide ui it will be a different story

I don't think you'll need insurance, that should be a warranty issue.
Definitely a warranty issue. You're fine. Call Sprint up!
Walked in and walked out 3 minutes later with a Phone Ordered to replace it lol.
The back speaker or the earpiece. If it's the front one, mine sounded like that out of the box. Lots of vibrations and sounded like the other person was talking through a kazoo, which was most annoying. I got it exchanged though.

The G1 still has its own form! I think as long as cm supports the hero then there will be a decent community. Might not be as active, but people are here. If we can get that new .35 kernel working 100% (I'd say its about 90-95% there) then the hero will last quite a while. There is nothing magical about the .35 kernel except that is brings up closer to what all the "cool" devices are running.
Personally I don't see myself upgrading. I don't want to pay the $10 extra sprint charges now (yes $10 is much better than AT&T/Verizon's tiered plans!!) However although a 3VO is cool, thats all it is. My hero running nightlys and overclocked does everything I could want (except smooth angry birds ).

I swapped out the icons on my weather lockscreen no problem.
***Edit***What I can't do, is get my red XDA icon to show up I'll have to reopen the .apk tomorrow and see where the icon is hiding for this phone, but it's clearly not where I'm used to finding it. I changed it fine, resigned the .apk no problem and got it to install......but with the same ugly brown icon.
You're right Shel. Last time I check, there was over 7000 registered nightly hero's. So it'll be here for a while.

It has to go from google to samsung then to sprint then us? Call me skeptical but I don't see this getting to us before Jan, even Feb. Good progress though on googles part.
edit: deleted comment. I was just being a grump.
It sure looks promising. The reskinned apps like Messaging look nice, but I like the priority senders in the Messages app. If they do away with that, I'll go right to hangouts for SMS/MMS probably as default. The dialer looks slick too. I'm not a fan of TW, but this doesn't look super horrible. I use Nova anyways, like most people.

Hey the longer it takes it will give the devs time to catch up to the new OS. Those behind that video state that Samsung is testing it, then Sprint adds some bloat and we finally get a release. Samsung may start next month for their own versions once they get the Note 4 out the door. Then a month or two afterwards the providers will start their releases. Once we start seeing that then we know we are in the que.

I'm extremely particular about MMS pictures and group texts. My family can only figure out how to send texts and haven't mastered Hangouts - very frustrating. I have had issues with MMS display and sending in 8sms, Evolve, and others. I find the stock Samsung Messages app is the most reliable and quickest. Especially with Sprint WiFi calling, it flies.
