I love this phone. I had the G2 and returned it. Never used the qwerty on it and that hindge was loose on week two. My MT4G is an awsome phone. I came from an iphone unlocked jailbroken iphone for the past 3 years! Android takes the cake. Now trying to learn about roots, roms ect...Time to have some fun!

Upgraded from the MT3G, and I have to say that I absolutely LOVE this phone! No regrets whatsoever.
[myTouch 4G General] c_licious:
Had the G2 for three weeks before the MT4G came out. I have no regrets about exchanging it for the MT4G. My only qualm with the MT4G are the physical buttoms :( Still, the only thing that would have made me want to return the MT4G is if the Nexus S had been made by HTC. Since it's by Samsung, I'm loosing zero sleep over it (although I still have 5 days in my new buyers remorse).
[myTouch 4G General] crxtasi:
Coming from a Nexus to this I love the P buttons cause on the nexus I would accidentally press the captive ones and came out annoying sometimes! But I'm with you with Samsung making the upcoming Nexus S! But all in all I like this phone, I'm rooted, still on a stock rom and does not skip a beat! I can just imagine how beastly this phone will be when the Devs work on our phones!
[myTouch 4G General] Thumper1226:
Yup, ive been through my share of iphones the past 3 years, and kept telling everybody that theres nothing better then an iphone. Then I got irritated with not having 3g speeds with it and gave this mt4g a try. And I now theres no looking back. I tell everybody with an unlocked iphone to get the mt4g. It blows all other iphones out the water
[myTouch 4G General] ESKIMOn00b:
+1 for real buttons.... I see this as a feature over the g2.... I'm so tired of touch buttons on the n1.....

Push them *****es all the time in the car... I always find the one I'm after after pushing all the other 3...
[myTouch 4G General] 30Glock:
Coming from a Vibrant, I truly believed that there was no life after SAMOLED, I can now say w/o a doubt that life just gets better, This phone has surpassed all of my expectations. :)
[myTouch 4G General] jstep:
Wow, these responses are blowing me away. I purchased my myt4g last night and was kind of unsure because of the nexus s coming. I have to say as of right now I absolutely love my phone. I truely didnt think I would enjoy it this much.
[myTouch 4G General] Foo_Blyat:
I purchased the g2 first day it came out, returned it 3 days later because i hated everything about it.

Just got the MT4G and was skeptical about sense, but after a full 48 hours of use im in love.

the g2 cant even shake a stick at the 4G
[myTouch 4G General] kgbkny:
The best way to describe my opinion on the MT4G is that this is the phone I was expecting when I purchased the Vibrant back in July. After reading all the hype about the Galaxy S series, I was expecting a true superphone that will exceed everyone's expectations of what a smartphone should be. Needless to say, that was not the case at all.

Although I like the look of capacitive buttons, I accidentally touched them on quite a few occasions while using the Vibrant, causing the phone to perform undesired actions. Going forward, I will try to opt for phones that have physical buttons (unless, of course, Desire HD was released in the U.S.).

It's already been 2 weeks since I bought the MT4G, and I've yet to find anything that I am not happy with. Sure, the speaker could be better, and the screen could be SAMOLED. However, neither shortcoming is a dealbreaker for me, and the phone certainly works the way it was intended to work right out of the box.
[myTouch 4G General] cheesefrog:
I'm EXTREMELY satisfied with my MT4G. So much so that I ordered another one for my significant other! Back on Nov. 4th, I was just about to buy a G2 to replace my old G1. I was in love with the performance of the G2. It had a physical keyboard, just like my G1, and was the next logical evolution of the platform, so I thought.

While the T-Mo rep was ringing me up at the cash register, he casually said "Yeah we're really busy tonight, trying to get ready for tomorrows launch of the MyTouch HD" (he referred to it as the HD from what I remember). He went on to tell me some features, and even showed me the phone and let me handle it for a few minutes. I was so impressed with the ergonomics and the feature set (a 1GHz gen 2 Snapdragon processor vs. 800MHz gen 2 in the G2) that I told him to stop ringing me up for the G2 because I wanted to wait for the MT4G.

I'm glad I waited. While I still like the G2, its durability is highly suspect. It wouldn't be so bad if the hinges were made out of steel or some other durable metal, but they appear to be plastic. That kinda scares me.

And now that I've become proficient at SWYPE, I can crank out paragraphs almost as fast as I can type on a real full-sized keyboard. I could never do that on the physical slide-out keyboard on my G1.

It's no wonder the MT4G is back-ordered everywhere.
[myTouch 4G General] nmw407:
Coming straight of a rooted G1, this phone is heaven on a stick!

It's just great - it's responsive, fast, has so many features and the battery life is so much better than the G1. Sense does take some time for me to get used to, but that wasn't a problem since I could always use Launcher Pro or ADW Launcher if I didn't like it.

The main thing is that the performance of the phone has succeeded my expectations.
[myTouch 4G General] PlankLongBeard:
Coming from an Evo, Droid Incredible, Not one but three N1's :) , Samsung Epic 4G, Xperia X10, Original MOTO Droid, Droid X, I am actually highly impressed, down to the point where I have actually found what I've always wanted in an Android... :)

Loving it!

I received the MT 4g on Tuesday. It just gets better every day. Seriously!

The Friends social networking interface with Facebook/Twitter and contacts and the FAVE are rocking. Just tried out the FM radio today at lunch. Crazy man, just crazy.

Some really good stuff wrapped up here.

Coming from someone that is NEVER satisfied it seems with cell phones and is always getting new ones... I get bored easily with them I guess which is expensive and pretty pointless seeing as they come out way to soon, I am absolutely happy and content with my MyTouch 4G. I love (almost) everything about it. The form factor, the weight, the interface(s), everything. It really is a nice bundle of 'must have' and 'haha I might not need them but I have them and you don't" features in one sleek (white) package.

I'm happy I went ahead and bought it and I have no regrets!
[myTouch 4G General] Mftek1:
There was one thing I didn't fully like about the phone. The genius burton. It is just really slow and always has to load....

But I fixed that....

Short press its google search and long press in genius button

Sent from my HTC Glacier
[myTouch 4G General] likeitnot:
That would be one of the things I could care less about lol (the Genius button). I have found no use for it, but I know some do and that's good that they have it. For me, it's a useless button all around pretty much. Just another option that I have should I find myself needing it but like you tweaked yours to take you to search, I might have to as well. Then maybe I will find use in it!
[myTouch 4G General] Mftek1:
Seriously..

Short press google search, long press genius button is the way to go!

Gives you both options. Or you can remove genius completely and make long press voice search or handcent quick compose.

I just bought a mt4g and also have had the g2 for over a month. One will go back and the first few hours of use On the mt4g has been very positive.

I get better signal in all parts of my house. In one room I never got signal on the g2 and on the mt4g I've had it all night.

It will take a couple weeks to really get a good comparison but I'm really liking this mt4g already.
[myTouch 4G General] s10shane:
i was gonna buy the g2 but then the sales men at tmobile told me to wait if i want a phone that is fast like the g2 but with a ffc and i was like ok what phone is it? he said the mytouch hd but later i found out it was called the mytouch 4g. but i gotta admit im not a fan of the mytouch serious of phones. they all suck and are ugly to me but this phone once i saw it in person and got to hold it the day before it came out i gotta admit i was like damn this phone feels like a good phone when holding it and not all cheap like every other mytouch phone. so i waited till the next day to buy the phone i was the first customer to buy one lol. when i was holding the g2 and mytouch 4g in my hand i thought the g2 felt like a damn brick in my hand i started laughing on how heavy it was, lol. so i decided to keep the mytouch 4g since its faster and has better features then the g2.
[myTouch 4G General] dinan:
just picked up a mt4g and wow... holy bloatware batman. coming from a nexus one it seems like they threw every app and it's mother into the phone... and i can't even uninstall them lol.

ugh... is there a consistent way to root yet?
[myTouch 4G General] gr8one698:
I have both the G2 and MT4G as I like to switch phones as often as I switch my wristwatch. In my opinion, the MT4G is a sleeker and more "hip" phone, it goes great with jeans, a t-shirt and an overpriced watch. :) The G2 is great phone in its own right. To me, it has an great look to it. The heft and metal body just screams expensive. That being said, I prefer the MT4G as a daily user just because it looks good with my beater watch. :)
[myTouch 4G General] vashht:
Lol I've tried practically every high end phone out now, the evo, epic, Droid x, iPhone 4, and the g2, and I ended up sticking with the mt4g. I know some people think the look is cheesy but I have the red version and I think it looks great. Not only that but everything works amazingly well on this phone, I love the physical buttons, like a lot of people here I used to accidentally hit the capacitive buttons on my evo, but even vs the Droid x this phone has far superior physical buttons, just the right amount of feedback and clickiness. All of this paired with the fastest soc out from HTC and you have a fantastic phone. I really hope the dev community takes off for this phone ( and I think it will), I have up the g2 simply because I don't care about having a keyboard, I type a lot faster on screen. Anyway stick with the mt4g you'll like it its a great phone.
[myTouch 4G General] vashht:
Yeah the bloatware is kind of ridiculous but it took me about 5 minutes to root and then I just froze all of the software, damn its nice having 300mb of RAM free on my phone lol.
[myTouch 4G General] RnRexpress3423:
I've uninstalled a few things like monopoly and asphalt, but you said you froze your apps? I see the option on titanium backup. Am I better off just freezing the apps than uninstalling them?
[myTouch 4G General] lonlawrence:
Like the phone alright... hate TMO service. MMS (picture mail) only works about half the time and regular text messages only go out about 75% of the time. Calls are the only things that's been working right.
[myTouch 4G General] vaerio81:
Love the mt4g.......i had this year so far the nexus one then my wife took it from me :-/.... got the mytouch slide and the vibrant then sold the slide and kept the vibrant ....then got the g2 liked it but decided to wait for the mt4g so i ended up selling the g2 so now i got the mt4g and i love it....... i miss flashing stuff on it but its just so smooth and fast that ill b ok waiting for a rom .......i kept the vibrant incase i didnt like the mt4g but im super satisfy with it so looks like im going to sell the vibrant :-)
[myTouch 4G General] gbzbar:
It's really a shame.... the hardware of the MT4G is absolutely outstanding, especially coming from a Vibrant. However, the software is sooo crappy that it ruins the experience and hurts what could be an amazing phone. Just wait until a decent selection of ROMs is released, and the phone will be amazing.
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
I'm happy. I wouldn't end up using the physical keyboard anyway and the hinge would annoy me if it weren't PERFECTLY solid.

Hardware-wise this thing is a ****ing beast. Just looking forward to CM6 so I can ditch Sense.
[myTouch 4G General] samsci:
I am not sure why you say the software is so crappy. Once you root the phone, you can take off any of the software you don't like and the market has plenty of software to replace 'crappy' software with.

Some of the software on the phone is actually pretty nice. I have actually use Qik and it works great for Video chat. I have Titanium Backup so apps I had on my Mytouch 3G I simply imported to my Mytouch 4G and it worked great.

The Facebook app is extremely good that comes with the phone, I installed Handcent SMS to use instead of the default SMS because I prefer it. I use Launcher Pro, Better Keyboard and QuickDial for my contact/ Phone Dialer.

How did you customize the genius button for google search?

NEVERMIND... Got it.
[myTouch 4G General] sicdroid:
Reading through all the pages on the thread... I don't think I have EVER seen so much love for a phone. Usually you get the lovers and haters together, There is practically no hate. LOL. That to me is a huge testament to what kind of device this is. My opinion.... not any different than most of the posts. I've had them all and this is a top notch phone. Love it!!
[myTouch 4G General] woldy2:
i got mine on the way home from work last night...gotta say...i love it. I came from a samsung moment on sprint and its just nice to get a phone that works like it should without having to do anything to it. now to read up on rooting and all that fun stuff. it looks to be a little different than it was on my moment

im joining the mt4g club soon, just grabbed one thru tmobile loyalty, ive had a g1 for about a year when it first dropped then switched to the hd2 which i really didnt love thus me getting loyalty prices on this phone....i picked it over the g2 hope i like it as much as i loved my rooted g1 before i sold it
[myTouch 4G General] russbustah:
I must say I really am more satisfied with this phone than with any other phone I've used.

I actually really like the Sense UI, although I've never really tried adw or launcher pro. I really like the dialer, and how you can easily slide over to recent calls our straight into visual voicemail. I also really like HTCs agenda widget, as well as their mail app. I actually dislike vanilla because then I have to find substandard replacements for things I'm used to having.

The only small cons are the chrome bezel, mine us already getting messed up. And I kind of wish the sound quality was a tad better. But neither are a real issue.

Oh, and genius button. Whenever I get around to fully rooting I'm gonna change that to search and long press genius.

I can also say that I'm really pleased with the form and feel. Bigger screen might be nicer, but then again it's plenty big without being a burden. And I actually don't think sAMOLED is that great, I like the crisp screen on my MT4G.

All said, I can honestly say that there should be more publicity and stir around this phone, it's really the nicest phone out in the US. Engadget's review was a disgrace, those worthless apple lovers.
[myTouch 4G General] shlongwoodian:
Yes, extremely happy. Other than the creaking at the lower, left-hand corner (TMO is shipping me a new replacement), I simply love this phone. Great hand-feel (giggity), extremely smooth/fast interface. I still see little signs of "lag" here and there (looks like that's just the nature of Android for now), but this truly is the best phone I have ever owned.

Tried LauncherPro and while it looks great, I'm sticking w/ stock MySense. I actually like everything about it and though I thought I'd hate the blocks around the icons, I've actually grown to love them.

I thought I wanted a 4.3" screen, a la Desire HD and I thought I wanted the "candy bar" form factor, a la EVO and Desire HD, but not so. This screen size is perfect.

I'm not sure much could make this phone better. Maybe a 3rd gen, dual-core Snapdragon and a 720p FFC? I mean, come on, this phone is quite perfect IMO and I couldn't be happier.

Thanks for starting a thread so we can everlastingly pine over our MyTouch 4G's.
[myTouch 4G General] thepza:
I agree completely about the MT4G being the best phone yet. I just finished up 2 years with my trusty G1--it was rooted and running custom ROMs for the vast majority of that time.

If the G1's lag was a 9/10 then the MT4G's lag is at most 2/10--the loading screen for DoggCatcher would stay on for 5-7 seconds with my G1, with the MT4G the loading screen is up for maybe 1 second.

I'm also getting significantly better battery life than with my G1--and the G1 got a new battery a couple of months ago and was "optimized" with all the methods people list online for getting the best battery life. I'm amazed the MT4G does so well regarding battery life!

Some people have complained about the "ugly" ear speaker grill. Well I have no problem with it. The speakerphone is also sufficiently loud and clear.

My only issue is with the tiny power plug that connects to the phone. I can certainly see myself accidentally breaking that or stepping on it and maiming it. Of course, that's a $20 potential problem, so that ain't bad :)

If you're the kind of person that keeps one phone for more than a year, I highly recommend the MT4G--it's truly a next-level phone and will remain relevant longer than its current competitors.
[myTouch 4G General] pdorion1986:
wow... i wish the g2 vs mt4g thread over at the G2 proper was this informing...

recently started having problems with my g2... HINGE, random shut-offs, battery heating up.. so now im looking into swapping for the MT4G instead later today.. good thing im still in the 30 day exchange period. California FTW. i heard other states where only 14 days. anyway..........

i have only 1 question though... whats up with the dock buttons? i mean the home/menu/mouse/back/green button. are they pressable? or touch sensitive.. from the pictures it kinda turns me off with the phone.. needless to say im kinda sold to the MT4G.

anyone????
[myTouch 4G General] daewond3r:
I love my MT4G. No longer will I keep my phone in my pocket when friends and co-workers have their iPhones, Evos, and Droids out on the table. I've always thought Android to be awesome but my G1 and my Slide left something to be desired as far as hardware/build quality.

I'm not a fan of mySense but with Launcher Pro Plus I can deal with it until a stable vanilla rom is out. I've gotten up to 6MB down/3 up on HSPA+ and it'll only get better. The capabilities of the processor are impressive (as we've seen with recent overclocks). The look and feel of this phone is my favorite thing about it. FFC is cool too. I'm not big on gaming or watching videos on my phone so idk if I'd need anything more than what this phone can offer performance wise.

I kept my G1 for over a year, then spent 6 months with a Bold 9700 and 4 months with a Slide (major phone whore this year). I think the MT4G will keep me happy for at least as long as my G1 did, if not more.
[myTouch 4G General] DADDYDC650:
They are actual buttons. They feel nice and sturdy. No creaking on my MT4G. I liked capacitive buttons but I usually found myself hitting them by accident.
[myTouch 4G General] shep211:
I should be getting a MT4G today. If I keep it I will be developing roms for the device. Not sure if it can keep up with my lag-fixed captivate & vibrant at only 1.6 ghz. I seen benchmarks at 1.9 ghz and it scored just 2-5% lower on most test then the captivate & vibrant. Can you still overclock to 1.9 ghz? I cant find that kernel any more on the forum. I will for sure be getting the nexus s. Duel core hummingbird cpu, quad core gpu, 4.3 super amoled 2 screen & stock android. What more could you ask for?
[myTouch 4G General] btbuck1:
I've owned two iphone 3g's, g1, mytouch 3g, nexus 1, Vibrant, g2 and now mt4g.

I'd have to say that so far (4 days in) I'm really enjoying this phone.

They've all had their pro's and cons and of all of them, the only ones I ever fell in love with were iPhone (at the time) and The Nexus One which is still near and dear to my heart.

But so far, This phone is looking like a worthy successor to my Favorite of all time (N1).

The G2 was also a great phone, but it was thick for no reason...i didn't need a slide out keyboard...so why have the bulk (for me) for others, i'm sure it's awesome....i definitely loved vanilla android....and the design was gorgeous (Like N1).

My only concern with the MT4G (for others) is in the link below, it's about screen quality and potential differences from device to device:

Since I use two seperate lines for work I needed some thing to replace my hd2 as a work phone. I needed some thing rugged, durable, reliable, and fast. This phone surpassed what I was to expect. I still cant believe I got this phone at such a low price and in new condition from eBay. I also have the plum colored one. (Wanted black but I couldn't pass the deal up)

Y'all made me feel good about getting the mt4g! Coming from a n1 was wondering if it would be a good switch. Sounds to me like I made a good decision! I am getting so tired of the screen quirks of the n1. I get my 4g Tue! Can't wait :)

This phone is amazing! It does everything I pretty much need with it and the 4g video calling is awesome! I've been using the the ym video chat to call my wife who's in a different country at the moment and it works perfect. I've done video calling just about anywhere, home, office, parking lot, mall, grocery store, you name it (all done using my 4g network. no wifi). I can't really compare to other phones like the iphone or G2 since i've never owned any of them but i'm really happy with my MT4G.
