Any Mytouch users moving....

Hmm I'm not really having any fc or too much lag, must be the way I manage my memory.
Actually this device performs better than most high end Nokia's I've had.
 
After a week of owning this phone there hasn't been any issues that I've come across yet, other than trying to get used to the touch screen keyboard.
 
Maybe I'll get the Nexus One after a few months it came out - let a couple of updates run - or let my brother be the guinea pig and let him test it out for me, then buy the phone and make it 5x better than what he could have made it.

I must admit, I'd like to have a larger battery capacity, since my phone would only last a day on a charge by turning off 3G and not using it all day. But, I also spent $500 on a HTC Touch Pro last year, and that phone was slower than my MyTouch.
 
Nope. No phone is worth 5 bills and the basics STILL have not be implemented and covered in the Nexus. Other than a faster processor, there is nothing to be gained in terms of usefull functionality.
 
I went from the myTouch 3G to the Nexus One.

IMO android needs some more heavy polishing to be in the same league as the iPhone. That said I do like the N1 (minus Google's bungled support system). I don't feel it qualifies to be called a "Superphone". To me it's like having a smoother scrolling myTouch with a bigger screen and prettier interface.

Is it worth the $530 bill? At present I would say no.
Will it be worth it after a few updates? I'm hopeful it will be! :-)

One thing worth noting....Had I have not had missed call issues with the myTouch 3G (had two of them, both had the problem). I wouldn't have gotten a Nexus One. Knowing what I know now after owing the N1, i'd have been happy with a myTouch with working calls.

very informative, thank you
 
Yeah, Already having tried the Droid, I got a taste of the new OS and speed, but still buggy. Other than ergonomics and keyboard the Nexus and Droid are very similar.

Had the Nexus been out earlier, I'd of paid the extra to get it, but can't justify selling the MyCrap and only getting ~$300 to spend $500+ for another "O.K." phone.

After some serious BT issues I am having now, I am getting very close to putting the sim back in the iphone.
 
same here. when i got this "mycrap" i was in love now after a few weeks its starting to show its true colors, force close problems, laggy, mms problems, facebook not being reliable. im close to putting the sim back in the blackberry....

I'm just now starting to see the lag and a couple of Force Closes. Is it due to lack of memory though? What are some ways to free up some memory space without rooting?

No kidding, I bought mine brand new for $180 shipped.

Yeah, this was my fear of this device. value drops because neither HTC or google care, they just want to sell new equipment. I remember offering a few people $280 for slightly used MT3G just before the holidays. They laughed at me.

I spend $400 on a new one and they will end up selling theirs now for less than $200. Now were both getting laughed at.

jeez how many apps do you have installed? i have around 30 and have plenty of space still
you can try clearing your cache and making sure none of your text message threads are over 100

I was asking if it's because of memory issues, not stating that as fact. I only have about a dozen apps installed. It's not lagging much at all, just happened a couple of times but it has force closed some apps such as games.
 
I sold the mytouch for 220$ just the other day and ordered the new nexus one. I couldnt stand the lag anymore and im a sucker for new devices lol. Anyways i hope this 600$ investment is worth it...
 
I had a Iphone 3G, Blackberry 9700, and now the mytouch fender edition, they were all great in their own different ways. Im trying out the android system now and see how i like it, I was gonna get the nexus but settled for the mytouch and im hoping that wasnt a bad decision...

I guess that will depend on how demanding you are. I haven't had an iPhone but I have had a BB9700 and I don't regret coming over. I loved the 9700 and it worked great but I guess I really like being able to see web pages and e-mail properly rendered. I don't use the browser a whole lot but at least when I do, the experience is much better. I also have access to a lot more apps and do a lot of different things with my MyTouch that I couldn't do before. I wouldn't expect it to be quite there when comparing to your iPhone but realize that Android is still evolving and I think will eventually surpass iPhone if for no other reason than it only comes on AT&T (sucks). Still, I am quite happy so far and look forward to continuing improvements with Android. I may be wrong but I think we can at least look forward to more updates than what you might see on iPhone also. Always improving and evolving. We just needs these darn carriers to work a little faster in getting the updates out for their particular phones. :cool:
 
P.S. I seen the Fender in the store the other day and i actually think it looks pretty slick. Some people have a vastly different opinion but that's life I guess. Hope you enjoy it.
 
Yeah i like the mytouch, but it does feel a little underpowered, Maybe I just need to learn to root it and actually use the phone tho. But I love the look and feel from the fender edition and the 3.5mm jack built in makes it much nicer.

the jack alone would make it worth switching to the fender..
 
I strongly believe that the fender edition and the mytouch 1.2 will be a fail. The original mt3g has been out for too long and to only get a headphone jack?? oh wait, and a little more ram??

Not worth upgrading.. And from what I understand if your a current t-mobile customer and you upgrade...the fender edition is the same price as the N1?
contract renewal for fender - 179??
contract renewal for n1 - 179???

If that is correct, it just doesnt make sense to me..

but doesnt the nexus have to have a weird plan still though?

Im going to stop by t-mobile this afternoon and see, if not I will be purchasing a N1.

I have been with TM for over 8 years. I was offered (and accepted duh!!) this plan 2 years ago..
Unlimited minutes, text, w/data for $49.
No way im giving that up for a different plan.
