HTC Desire here.
Love the phone, but hate the amount of internal memory. I hate it so much!
Yeah, I can fix that with custom ROM and App2SD+, but I just dont have time for that.
And I hate for getting late update (or not at all).
So yeah, I want Google Phone ... whatever it is
Nexus one and moto XT720 (it will never get 2.2, RIP).
htc desire,but i'll keep my iphone4 need both sides..
Selling my Vibrant.
Vibrant, sold it last night on ebay. Just before the price drop was announced today, woot!
I just picked up a mt4g at the upgrade cost from t-mobile. I'm coming from a nexus one. I'm really on the fence, If I should just give it back and wait for a newer phone to use my upgrade credit. It just doesn't feel like a huge upgrade from my N1. I'm thinking I would like a 4+" screen too. I wish I had a date when the pyramid was available.
Should I keep my N1 a couple more months or move to the mt4g?
Go back to the n1 till summer.

My wife has the mt4g, which is why I'm in here. It's a great phone, but I agree that it doesn't seem much better than the Nexus. If even say it's just different, in good and bad ways, and not necessarily better (probably the wrong place to say that?). I'm possibly just attached to my Nexus?
Anyway, you could wait forever for the next phone, and there's always the latest rumors - but the Pyramid does sound nice (first time I've even thought about switching).
There's certainly a lot worse than the mt4g!
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Didn't hear back from any actual mt4g owners.
I slept on it, and i'm going to be returning the phone to t-mobile today. It's nice enough phone and I give it props. Even with all the bloat crap on it, it did feel faster than my N1. I just wasn't blown away. I think it just goes to show how good the N1 was when it came out. I never dreamt that I would be happy with a single phone for more than a year.
Patience is not one of my virtues. I really hope T-mobile gets dual-core and big screen soon.
I was in a similar boat about a month ago. I was forced into getting a new phone though, as my Mytouch 3g finally fell the wrong way and the screen got smashed to bits. Was between the MT4G and the Nexus S, decided to go with the 4G for FFC, HSPCA+, and more RAM. Plus I like Sense and the sturdy body of the 4G. Like someone else alluded to, there will ALWAYS be the next cool thing just a month or 2 away, so you're never really future-proof with a new phone in that sense.
As for advising you on the phone itself, all I can say is that I think the MT4G is the best android (certainly the best TMO android) phone on the market right now. It's got extra RAM, good features, HSPA+. But if you're happy with the N1 for the next ? months, then wait it out. I just didn't have that option, and am very happy with the 4G.
Oh and one more thing regarding your last post - I'm sure it's a personal preference, but the screen size on the 4G is perfect for my tastes. It's big enough (little bit bigger than iphone) but still comfortable to hold and put in your pocket. The 4"+ screen sizes are great for media and web browsing, but were too big for me to really be comfortable with (again just personal opinion). I like to be able to just slip my phone in my jeans pocket.
i would wait for a few months for a newer phone.mt4g is great,but the newer hardware will be better.

former nexus one owner for over a year...then all hell broke loose.
N1 traded for iphone 4 32gb (Stragiht trade)
iphone 4 32gb traded for iphone 4 16gb plus $200
iphone 4 16gb sold for $500
purchased vibrant $160
purchased mytouch 4g $275
Sold vibrant $260
traded mytouch 4g plus $50 for nexus s
traded nexus s for mytouch 4g plus $200 (bad screen)....
Currently with the mytouch 4g, its a solid device! I really like it but its just bland to me, not much development for it. I loved the nexus one , trackball wake, and alert colors were very nice. Screen is still pretty good compared to some new models. I would recommend just keeping the nexus one till a new phone comes out. Heck I may sell the mytouch 4g for $300 today, and buy a vibrant for $150.
Neuxs one still has solid development of roms, which I still wonder into that area to look over whats going on. Mytouch 4g well it does have 4g services, and front facing camera....thats really the only differences that stand out. Heck I dont use the FFC nor can I use 4g since I'm unlocked on a local carrier, although I did hit 7.04 mbps today, highest to date.
Stay with the nexus one, itll still hold its value and its holding up well vs current phones
That's some damn nice horse trading you've done. I would trade my N1 for an Iphone 4 32gb in a minute. (if only to sell it and buy another N1 back for half the cash i got for the iphone!)

Are you reading the same forum I am????? Not much in Development for it???? Are you serious? Tons of work on multiple kernels, TONS of ROMs. So many themes and icons I can't even keep up.......I dunno where you get that its bland....Root the phone and go CM7 and get rid of the bloat and tell me the phone is bland.....
Sorry just find it weird that you think its a plain jane phone yet theres a plethora
of stuff to mod it with and make it your own....
The mt4g has a pretty solid development base, but it's relatively small compared to the N1... CM7 is cool, and probably the only unique ROM out there.
The development on the N1 is huge, which is why I'd struggle switching from it...
MT4G is a cool phone, but it's nothing ground breaking.

Yes I am reading the same forum, mytouch 4g ? Yes there isn't much development, phone has been rooted since day 1, on cm7....phone is bland. Nexus one there was just that much more development, mytouch 4g development base is small compared to the nexus one
I've seen, held, and used the Nexus One for over a week and I'd still choose the MT4G. Sure there might be more ROMs but you can't beat the fact that the MT4G has the better hardware still and more RAM.
Now for anyone with a G1 or MT3G its a no brainer the MT4G is better than the N1
As far as going from N1 to MT4G I would save your upgrade for a Dual Core.

Yes mytouch 4g does have the better hardware, being unlocked I'm not fully utilizing the device, hence I still prefer the nexus one. Both htc devices are solid, cant go wrong with either one
agreed. if you are looking for a major upgrade the MT4G is perfect and will hold its ground for a long time. But the leap in power and quality from the N1 to MT4G just isn't worth it.
But to say the MT4G community and features is bland is false. Sure its been rooted since day one but so was the N1. It allowed you to root it without hacking it. So its been customized for far longer than the MT4G has even been out. It will take off soon enough.

You cannot compare MT4G to Nexus One, that was the first google phone, now a days new phone comes out every couple of months people will buy what they like. Look at the Nexus S all the development have scattered to other models, G2, Z, HD, etc... all they have is GB and kernel, so many different versions its still GB And CM7 Lmao... MT4G has alot going for it that's why you came back

I'm a couple weeks away from being eligible for an upgrade with Sprint. I'm sure a lot of you guys are in the same boat as me. What phone are you looking to get next?
The EVO was as easy choice when it came out. There wasn't anything to compete with it other than the iPhone. I don't try to keep up with all the new phones until I am close to an upgrade. There is just too much out there to possibly keep up with.

Probably going HTC arrive. It will be nothing on upgrade next month and want to tinker with a windows phone 7 for a while. Evo will go to my oldest who is running a HTC hero.
If I don't like that then my wife's phone is due in May. I'll swap it out for something else.
Current Android family
HTC evo 4g x 2
HTC evo shift
HTC hero
Motorola Xoom
Viewsonic G-tablet
HP Touchpad (running classic nerd)
So yeah just want to tinker with something new for a while
My upgrade is coming up next month as well. (I suppose a lot of us who got the EVO on/near launch day are)
I've put a lot of thought into it and I think I'm going for the GNex. Unless I find out the GS3 devices are coming soon.
My wife got the white Evo when that launched (about a month after the original Evo) and she's waiting for the Galaxy Journal.
I would like to see Sprint carry the Xperia line, particularly the S model. Looks pretty sweet. Otherwise I would go with another HTC flagship device. I might also consider the Galaxy Nexus.
My upgrade is also in April (another day 1 adopter) I'm waiting for either the Galaxy Journal or the S3 (depending on release date) Definitely want an LTE capable device. Not sure if the Journal is going to fall in that category or not.
I'm eligible in June but I'll wait for the first Sprint LTE phone at the end of this year, so long as the suck-factor is low for it.
Sprint is aware that a lot of the Evo owners are coming off contract. I am betting the Galaxy Nexus will be coming out before we fall off contract to entice renewal.
That's what I will be going with.
whatever the next LTE sprint phone with huge screen+lots of features.. will be.
june, i'll be eligible for an upgrade, so hopefully we get something good by then
Upgrade next month here as well. Currently there is nothing worth upgrading too.
I'm hoping it won't be too long until we see some LTE devices.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Couldn't agree more. The Et4g is nice, but I prefer HTC, and et4g has already been out for a bit now. I don't mind waiting to see what comes at all. Satisfied with my Evo.

Not due til the end of the year, so I'm going for the galaxy S III.
Not eligible till Feb. 2013 there should be plenty of devices to choose from by then.

I'm in the same boat but will wait and see what comes down the line. I got two E4GT phones for my kids and they are incredible. They lay waste to my EVO. Samsung really stepped up their game. I don't know if HTC will be able to compete from here on out since Sammy has fully commited to Android. I've used the Gnex and don't like it as much as the GSII. I really want a phone that has built in image stabilization for video. Other than that the GSII camera kills! Way better than my little Canon P/S.
I'm waiting for the GNex. I don't have choice since it's my dad's lines, but I think ICS is where it's at.

I am considering moving to Verizon for better LTE coverage.
OG EVO
I don't think I will be upgrading next month when my time comes. There is really nothing out IMHO that can still compete with the OG EVO. Meaning the custom roms, tweeks, etc that you can do to the phone. HTC makes a good solid phone and I would definetly have to stay with a HTC line
Not due till July so ill wait it out for the EVOX/jewel haven't heard to many good things from gnex owners
Pleasantly Mad.
I wanted to wait for the Gnex as well, but that 16gb non-expandable storage limitation is killing me. I want to be able to use my 32gb class 10 with my next phone.

Should have kept the One X name, association with the original Evo 4G is not necessarily a good thing.
Hmmm peoples problems with the One XL
No microsd card (Evo 4G LTE has it)
Bigger battery (Evo 4G LTE has it)
no camera button (Evo 4G LTE has it)
Hmmm anyone thinking of getting a One XL in the states might have to look elsewhere

I think the phone looks great, especially since they added a micro-sd card slot and a bigger battery!

I love my Evo 4G and My contract is up for renewal this october, I plan on rocking this bad boy.
Love it or hate it the Evo 4G is one of those devices like the G1, The Droid and the Galaxy S that have made a significant impact on where android is today. I'mm glad to see the Evo name continue
i honestly cannot wait any longer for this!
Am really happy about this phone. if sgs3 takes too long then am going with this. Also happy they have something better than apple, the camera is a killer, and i miss sense.
im happy about this device. I love how they reverted back to the old style of the OG evo yet kept the new one series look to. They merge together perfectly. And the specs are awesome too

Ohhh i'm willing to bet this will get CM9 as it seems to be a major device
Keeping the Evo line with Sprint seems to be a great idea. I like the kick stand. Looks bold!
Preorders start May 7, any guesses on how long after that before its released?
The back is the only thing bothering me with this refresh of the Evo line. I hope this renews my faith with the Evo line I was a huge fan of the 4g I had a 32g sd that was stocked with ROMS and apps for it I had never seen a phone with such a development following like the Evo 4g then came the 3D and that phone pissed me off I had it replaced 5 times and I'm still getting intermittent problems with the screen, audio issues but I'm done with continuing to go back and forth having a tech look at phone to only replace with a refurbished POS. let's hope this bring us back to Glory days of the original Evo 4g.

The updated post on Engadget quotes HTC as saying that it was a prototype when they were thinking of putting a 3D camera in the One X. They decided not to, in the end.

Hey all, been rocking a Galaxy Note for about six months or so after unloading an iphone. Very pleased with my Note...love the screen size...but have to admit it's large size can be a bit of a hindrance at times. Have been seriously considering switching to a Nexus 4 which is what I originally wanted but was back ordered for too long. Problem is I'm torn on picking up what I believe is a great phone versus waiting another 6 months for the Nexus 5. I know the SG4 and HTC One are coming soon, but I have to admit, I really want stock Android without all the extra features which I find useless. Basically, is the N4 still worth purchasing? Or is it a foolish move this late in the cycle?
Thanks!
Htc One, not a major inovation.
Galaxy S4- they ran out of ideas.
I think the Nexus is still worth it, especially now, when its price went down a bit.
I was actually in a close situation about 2 weeks ago. I was basically up to get a new phone and was looking around for what to get. I wanted the Nexus 4 since launch, but my impressions of AT&T (the only provider in my area that is GSM) weren't good and I wanted to stick with Verizon. After months of waiting, I finally narrowed it down to waiting for the Galaxy S4 and signing a contract with the (again, opinion) superior service provider Verizon or switching to AT&T and staying off-contract with the cheaper phone with comparable specs. There was also the possibility of waiting for the next Nexus to come out (Nexus 5?) when it does.
Well, I decided on the Nexus 4 on AT&T and haven't looked back. I couldn't be happier. As far as Nexus 4 vs Galaxy S4 and HTC One is concerned, I am more than happy with my decision. The hardware is amazing, but the main reasons I'm so happy is the vanilla Android and the community. I love how Google really doesn't care about rooting and modding (it's like 1 or 2 commands in a command window to unlock the bootloader, that's awesome). Then there are forums like this that help you with stuff. Yeah, there are Galaxy S3 sections and they are helpful, but I just feel that the Nexus 4 forums are....I dunno...more friendly? more helpful? I don't know how to put it, but I just like the community better.
Now on the debate of getting a Nexus 4 now or waiting for the next one to come out. I actually liked being 6 months into the release. That way, you avoid back-order issues, and everyone has had time to develop and fix issues with ROMs and whatnot. 6 months in, all you have to do is read a "Nexus 4 101" sticky thread and they have step by step instructions for completely customizing/flashing/etc. it. I will probably continue waiting 6 months after release to buy a new Nexus phone for those two reasons.
Well there's my two cents. Feel free to consider it.
Thanks guys. Appreciate the insights.
Johmama, sounds like we're in very similar situations. After giving up on the N4 and going with the Note a few months ago, I made the switch from Verizon to Straight Talk. While it's not perfect service, it's 1/3 the monthly bill which allows me to forgive the occasional issue. That also is why I'm strictly debating N4 vs. N5 now. The purchase price of the Nexus line makes it very affordable compared to $650+ for the other options. Basically, by the time I unload my Note and accessories, it should be a pretty even swap, so cost isn't an issue. Just wanted to know if the device is still considered a smart buy. Seems like most are more than happy with it, so I think I'll make the jump.
Again, thanks for the help.
I came from the DNA, and was planning on just keeping this till ONE is released, but I'm keeping it. Sure I miss the screen size a bit, but I love this phone and am thinking I'm only gonna be a Nexus guy from now on. Its worth it. Also having good dev support is way cool
