So I got around to playing with the Samsung Galaxy S yesterday in more detail and with the T-Mobile one as opposed to AT&T. I didn't find it having as much bloated software as the AT&T one, but I was surprised to find out it comes preloaded with Avatar, the movie. I really liked the swype software, it makes it a lot easier to text people and it works really well too. Point is, I'm back on the android train although I was close to going the iPhone 4 route. Now I'm only wondering if perhaps I should wait till the end of the year for a better Android phone. I haven't kept up with new Android phones since Droid X dropped so I don't know what better phones are coming out. That G2 doesn't look too convincing. I'm pretty sure I don't need a QWERTY at this point so I don't know why I'd get it.
Yeah. I guess T-Mobile in the US must have had the exclusive rights to package the movie on a phone. It's all over the packaging.
The thing with the G2 is that it's T-Mobile's first 4G device. So even if you don't need a QWERTY you might consider it on that basis.
But, there's also the MyTouch HD dropping soon on T-Mobile. That one is keyboardless. It might be dropping at the same time as the G2. It's also rumored to have a front-facing camera, so logically this will probably be 4G as well to take advantage of that.
Also, if the real name of the MyTouch HD is in fact the HTC Glacier (which it might well be), then it KILLED on some leaked GPU data sheets and might even be a 1.5GhZ dualcore processor.
So.... if all that is true then it's def worth waiting for.
isn't as advertised as VZW's.
VZW actually haven't advertised shit. There was a roadmap leaked and at least one of the devices on it as since been cancelled. It's still very good, of course. But the other carriers have a few aces up their sleeves for sure - that's what makes Android so great right now - except for AT&T, all the competition are pulling out some heavy punches over the next few months.
