Great Phone

Pros:
Lighting Fast
Great Camera
T-Mobile 4g :)
Mobile Hotspot

Cons:
Battery Life (I'm a heavy user though)
Poor coverage outside the city (not phones fault)
Some of them had lots of issues (My gf is having loads of issues with hers, mine runs perfect)

Overall, I think this is a great phone and would definitely recommend it, but if you are having problems with it T-mobile is a nightmare to talk to. Good luck with getting someone who speaks English as a first language.

Pros . Nice camera .great os . Signal is great. West palm beach. 4 g. Fast. Screen is responsive . Battery last from 8am to 9pm I am on it all day . Great feel to the phone doesn't feel cheap. Got for free from tmo. Cons. Wish speaker was louder. Its a great phone for free comes with everything you need to get going . I am coming from a htc evo and a samsung epic . Blows them away .

3-deleted all my contacts
4-speaker not so loud
5-had had to many master resets losing all my apps!
6- Tmobile makes you pay $15 a month extra for wifi hotspot?!? I mean they already get $30 a month for Internet for 3 phones from me....
7-metal battery cover chips away looks like i have thrown it down a rock driveway even tho i have never even dropped it
PROS-
1-Thin and easy to store in pockets or purse

I work for another provider and have been with TMO since 2005 and have had the best service/I waited for this phone until i can afford to pay for all the good things like Hotspot and I have to say everything about this phone is fabulous/I live in Anderson County Texas and the nearest TMO store was in TYLER TX at least their towers are there but here where there are no TMO towers I still get great reception off the other towers available and no dropped calls and totally love the tethering connection for my laptop. I have enjoyed the access to the internet and email that comes right to the phone but the best thing is the apps and widgets that lets you customize ringtones (using ringdroid)/I have LOOKOUT for security on the phone/it was free/camera is fabulous and the front facing camera for vid chat rocks too. I am glad to be with another 2 years with this phone/It has been a long time coming for an upgrade for me and my lover Mikey! We first got the Windows Phone HTC HD7/not so much on the XBOX .. we are glad we returned it and went with the Mytouch4G - the fact that it is user friendly it is open to the user and you can choose what you want to use/We will give it an almost a 5 score only had it for 2 weeks...will let you know how it is!!!


Not So Much Mytouch

Ive had T-mobile for about 6 weeks and I'm on my 4th Mytouch 4g. I have had so many problems with this phone, I'm considering just not using T-mobile at all anymore simply because all the replacement phones have been horrible and they refuse to give a new phone comparable to the mytouch. The phone freezes constantly, it doesnt send or recieve picture messages most of the time, it sends text messages I never wrote when I restart my phone, just all in all a horrible phone. I'm fed up with T-mobile and their Mytouch 4g. Do not buy this phone because it will let you down.


MyTouch 4G pros V cons

A really great phone overall. Processor is very fast, hardly ever lagged when opening apps or jumping from different home screens, etc. Gaming was great on it too.

Downsides
- Screen is a tad small at 3.8" for my tastes & not a LED Screen, but that's just my opinion
- Directional Pad/Trackball button is pretty much useless since the touch screen on it is great.
- Other buttons such as the settings, app drawer, back and search, genius button, etc. are actual physical buttons you must press down and not just touch.
- The Genius Button is a neat concept, but in practice it doesn't work up to my expectations and found it frustratingly inaccurate.
- KILLER Con is that this phone is only HSPA 14.4 supported, NOT HSPA+ and for those who say it doesn't make a difference are in accurate. My upload & download speeds were way too slow for my expectations when compared to a HSPA+ phone like the Galaxy S 4G. Stuttering music and video is no fun.

Upsides

- Fast 2nd Gen Snapdragon processor
- Front Facing Camera
- Dedicated Camera Button with LED Flash
- HTC Software is very clean, less buggy then most others and more refined.
- Battery lasted much longer then my other phones such as an EVO and vibrant.

Bottom Line:

I would highly recommend this phone so long as you don't need to stream music or video. Maybe later on if the network speeds increase then this would be a non issue, but as for now, only the Galaxy S 4G delivers the needed bandwidth speeds.


Good but not great

* Disclaimer: I do NOT work for any carrier and am not paid in any way to write reviews.

I am a smart phone fanatic. I have owned tons of smart phones and just recently switched (last december) to the mytouch 4g. I must commend HTC on building such great phones. The weight of the phone, the camera and display.

I must say that the fact that this phone has lots of tmobile stuff on the phone (apps layers etc) it is degrading the performance of the phone. I have gone through 3 phones and this one is about to go back as the processor lags so horribly on this device that I either have to always do a reset or pull the battery out of the back of the phone.

I am using stock txt message and gmail and that is about it. jumping between the two is detrimental to the phones health and I notice horrible lags in typing.

I would not recommend this phone for power users.

Pros
great screen
clear calls
fast network
snappy browser

Cons
processor feels underpowered or overwhelmed for this phone

Keep up the great work HTC and to the cell providers out there, maybe lay off the overlays :-)

I came from Sprint for this device... 4G is in my area (Indianapolis) and makes a big difference alone.

Pros:
-HTC Sense
-separate, two stage key for camera
-Track pad for navigating emails or text messages
-Additional dictation software
-3.8" super LCD display is optimal

Cons:
-Heavier then I would like, however it does not feel cheap


Overrall great phone
