Need suggestions for Android phone for T Mobile

SlipKid · Nov 1, 2011

Greetings,

My girlfriend wants to upgrade. She just renewed her T Mobile contract and is eligible for a new phone. I like the Droid3 because of the screen size, QWERTY keyboard and separate keys with numbers for the ability to be less dependent on the touchscreen. She would like something similar. What would be the best T Mobile selection? I know we could buy a Droid 3 and get it re-flashed, but she wants a warranty and I don't blame her. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Keyboard wise? Either a g2 or mytouch 4g slide

As stated, G2 or slide...not many selections on T-Mo for sliders. However how would "re-flashing" a CDMA phone (Droid 3) get it to work on a GSM based network?

:thinking:

I could see a "Milestone 3" on T-Mobile, though I wouldn't want it sans UMTS connectivity, but not a "Droid 3".

Totally impossible.

It could be "possible", just maybe not too "feasible". Definitely a lot of work/expense wiring in radios. Easier to just get a Milestone, if available.

Why would you renew a contract and not get a subsidized new phone?

Cheaper monthly rates under the "Even More Plus" plans.

Droid 3 would work, just wont get 3G with it, only EDGE signal.

As an owner of a G2 and SK4G, I would have to say the mytouch slide 4g would be your best bet. The g2 is a good phone, I just dont care for the sloppy navigation of text fields within the browser(s) Also it's old. Why "upgrade" to a year old phone

Yes, MyTouch 4G Slide.
