Wow... I would totally take a free 4G over the Nexus S. All T-mobile would give me was my upgrade back so I am fully eligible to get the Nexus S for $200. I'm not even sure if the Nexus S is HSPA+ compatible and frankly don't care. I get plenty of speed on my Slide on 2.1 so i'm sure my Nexus on 2.3 with that Hummingbird processor will surely fly. I guess I will just have to go back to using my TomTom for GPS.

I must be blackballed on T-mobile's costumer service because I can no longer speak to any americans and have less than a 20 minute wait on hold.

believe me i didn't think they would do it either, in fact, i was shocked! but, if you work high enough up the csr ladder and you will eventually get what you want just takes persistence. to be honest i don't think they will do this for me again with in this contract. they even pointed out to me all they have done this year for me this time when i talked to them so i'm pretty sure its starting to get to be more of a problem but hey, at least they got me locked down for another 2 year contract. they'll make their money back over that time.

I am on my 14th Slide

And the only alternative exchanges ever offered to me were the Garminphone, the Cliq, and a Blackberry Bold.......... basically cancelled devices.

I've a crappy history over the past 6 months...

Had a BB 8320 that I upgraded to a free BH2, went thru 4 of those! Then they finally gave my a 3G Slide for free. So far I'm doing ok with that, but we'll see how it goes over the next couple months...Maybe I'll get a newer upgrade as well

The Slide is a great phone as long as you get one that is built solid... which I have'nt found yet but I hear about it lol.

 

[trav2001]

I do really love my slide. So far it seems to be a solid phone. Moves quick, don't have to reboot it very often, and it seems smooth going. Hopefully that will get better if T-Mobile their heads outta there butt and gets the 2.2 update out to us.

I'll have to look at the Nexus S tho, haven't heard to much about it.

Nexus S ? The new Android phone from Google

 

[trav2001]

Omg I think I'm in love ::drools all over himself::

 

[mwl1119]

You and me both its like a galaxy s with no touchwiz, a front facing camera, and gingerbread.

Only downside is no 4G and no expandable memory.

 

[trav2001]

No 4G is a downside, but the expandable memory is fine with me. I have an 8GB card in my Slide 3G and am only using about 1.5 GB of that...

 

[jrstinkfish]

Does it have broken GPS like the other Galaxy phones?

My gf has a MyTouch Slide (which is why I check this subforum, to see when 2.2 is ready). She's dropped it so many times that it's become a running joke, but the thing just won't break. She must've gotten one of the "solid" ones, because aside from a couple of scuffs, it looks and feels good as new.

 

[trav2001]

The GPS on my phone works great when I use. It locates me pretty quickly and is pretty accurate.

 

[macavely]

other then a bad battery my MTS had been great for me.. I just wish my G1 didn't die .. I would have waited till the end of this year to get a new phone.. Which would have been the N-S or the G-2 ....

They should have just released the MTS with 2.2 but I don't know why those higher ups at T-Mobile where thinking...

I think if by Jan 10 I don't get an update. MTS will go for sale and I will get either a G-2 or Nexus -S ..

 

[trav2001]

If i hadn't just upgraded from the BH2 to the MTS then i would have held out for the nexus s as well

 

[Iliketrains]

Tick tock, t-mobile. It's almost the end of the year, where's that update? Hmmm?

 

[behold_this]

Well, I've been using froyo/espresso for a few days now on my mytouch 4g and i have to say its better, but not that much better. Nothing huge comes with froyo really (besides wifi calling and wifi hotspot), and apps to sd is a joke for now since most apps don't support it yet. Still I do think its worth it overall so I hope for you guys (and my slide's resell value) it does come soon. If not do what I did...try to get a free 4g or at least ask for upgrade pricing (results may vary) and join the 1ghz+ revolution.

3 more days until i join you.

Enjoy your Nexus S and let us know what you think.

Viva La Revoluci​

 

[mwl1119]

So 2 days before I go to get my Nexus S I call into T-mobile and tell them my touchscreen on my Slide is once again on the fritz.

And now after 15 exchanges they decide to send me a decent exchange.

So now their will be a brand new G2 on ebay

 

[behold_this]

Lol...nice!

 

[Cramill]

Yeah, I'm doubting this update will get here "before the end of the year." I kinda doubt it will be a Christmas gift. Maybe a new years eve gift, but I doubt that as well. When will the T-Mobile people say: "You'll get it before the end of January"? ...

 

[trav2001]

Yup. I agree...i dont think it will get here anytime soon
