Which T-Mobile phone should replace Behold II

Policy wise no you need to be on fourth exchange but if you are a good talker then...maybe. You need to be on your game cause the "mandatory" exchange is a blackberry 9700...not android and certainly not the new mytouch. If the mytouch is what you want you should stop trying to lie and be honest. I did and I got everything I wanted but they didn't just say ok take it...I had to do some talking and earn it.
They offered me the Mytouch 3G Slide as well. But I have to sign a new 2 year deal and use my upgrade to get it but it will be free they are even willing to waive the $18 upgrade free and the $22 dollar express shipping. The only catch is I have to wait until my upgrade date of June 21st. I am just not as into that phone as I once was. I am really considering the HD2.

They Give you three choices on the "no lemon policy". A Blackberry 9700, Cliq XT and Nokia Nuron are what they will offer.

I got upgraded out of a T749 Highlight into the Behold 2. I am on my NINTH EXCHANGE in 6 months!

If you don't mind having no apps on your phone then the HD2 is a good phone for you. Thats a big IF yo me, might not be for you. I took mine back after 2 hours. The screen also wasn't the greatest.

Just outta curiosity, is anyone going to get the galaxy s? Those specs are amazing... :-(

As a warranty exchange I would take the Galaxy S just on the specs alone.

As an upgrade or full out purchase no way will I touch that device.

If I exchange into it and Samsung repeats itself yet again and does not support it then I can use my upgrade later. If I use my upgrade and they do it I will be stuck on 2.1 when everyone else is getting android 4.2 Ice Cream.

So, whats wrong with a nexus 1? That seems to have the best specs out there. Is it just because we can't use our discount on it really?

Nexus 1 is old google is soon going to have come out with Nexus 2 and it can't be nothing short of a few months maybe October... somewhere around that time frame if I had to guess. Google has to come out with it by the end of the year at least I mean look at how many phones are passing it up hardware wise.

On T-mobile and At&t (the carriers it works on) none have passed it yet and who willwant the Galaxy S (if its not free). Thats it as far as Android devices.

The Mytouch3Gs is 600MHz while the Nexus is 1GHz.

There will not be a Nexus Two for a while for one reason.

The Nexus One was called that because it has a 1GHz processor not because it was the first Nexus. There will not be a Nexus Two until HTC can slap a 2GHz processor in a phone and keep the price under a grand. Look for a variant of the current Nexus first like Nexus 4G or Nexus Slide. Calling the next Nexus a Nexus Two without a 2GHz processor is like calling the Mytouch Slide a Mytouch 4G just because its next up from 3G.

Alright you may have a point there but I would never buy the nexus if it had a slide out keyboard those are just not my thing. Maybe the next Nexus would be a 1.3 or 1.5 or whatever but nevertheless they have to come out with a second Nexus this year or the beginning of the next.

I know everyone is talking about getting mytouch slide for a replacement. But I don't think substituting a 6month phone for another 6 month phone is such a good idea. The reason I say that is the mytouch slide is a tmo -ONLY phone. Its not a worldwide release such as the g1,mytouch,nexus. The reason I say this is that it is made to run only on umts band iv [ 1700/2100]. Guess what other phone was umts band iv only --- yep, you guessed it our lovely device the behold 2. Any device that has been 'exclusively' a tmo usa only phone and not a worldwide release --- means that it absolutely sucks and you should probably stear away from it.

Thats my 2 cents worth .

While that may be true I have more faith in a phone that is T-mobile branded. Look I am not a MT3GS fan (see above) but I do think it being the "Mytouch Slide from T-mobile" means T-mobile will support it. If they don't they are just a 611 away unlike Samsuck who you can not even contact and if you get a response it goes "blah blah blah screw you yackity yack go away ha ha.......... thanks for your continued money...... I mean support".

Okay... So there is going to b a nexus 2?:thinking: I've been having soo many problems with bh2. They had to send me a new one, a new charger, and now a new battery:( I'm thinking of changing phones also, but don't want a keyboard:p any suggestions?

Eventually yeah a second Nexus should be coming out late in the year or beginning of the next is what I think but you never know.

Maybe Nexus one but I don't really trust Samsung anymore so I wouldn't go with Galaxy S although the specs are amazing.

Nexus2 or whatever it will be called will be released many months from now if you are to switch your phone soon I would wait for the Nexus One to be sold in stores or maybe MT3GS but that has a slide out keyboard and I suppose even if Samsung doesn't upgrade Galaxy S past 2.1 the specs do make it worth while its supposed to have FM Radio, 720p(High Definition) recording plus a High Quality Screen and a 5megapixel camera with 8gb or 16gb on board memory... plus a 4 inch screen... I also heard a front facing camera will be on it for video calling and web cams but i have no clue supposedly this is supposed to be released in July or August possibly earlier.

So I should basically wait it out:thinking:

Everyone acts like the Nexus One is a dinosaur.

Fact is it is the third most powerful Android device.

It is basically an Incredible with a few things removed (flash lite, fm radio, TV out)

5MP camera with single LED flash VS the Incredible's 8MP with dual LEDs

512MB ROM VS the Incredible's 740MBs

and an older version of Snapdragon (n1-8250 Incred-8650) but both run at 1GHz

ITS THE ONLY PHONE YOU CAN HAVE ON TMOBILE THAT CAN RUN FULL ANDROID 2.1. PERIOD.

except that its NOT a t-moblie phone. it's google's phone. t-mo doesn't sell it and doesn't promote it (meaning no advertising), and barely supports it.
