I've been rocking the HERO OS on my G1 for a week or so now and can honestly say I don't know why you would want to use anything else. I wish they would come out with a HERO phone with a qwerty is all I'm sayin..

You know I've tripped a lot of circuits, oh lord I've maxed a lot of capacitors; but I never touched nothing that my logic board could kill.

you know I've seen a lot of machine intelligences ambulating around with BSODs in their eyes, but the pusherbot don't care if you simulate life or if your main-board fries.

I've cyanogen'ed my phone already. Should I restore it to Tmo OS just to get their legit Donut or is it the exact same thing I've been running?

@cudthecrud: why would you do that when Cyanogen's ROM still gives you functions that the legit 1.6 update isn't going to give you? Apps2SD ALONE is reason enough for me not to give a rat's ass for the legit update.

@cudthecrud: Just give it a few weeks and i'm sure there will be a cyanogen update with all those extras put in there (if they're any better than what it's already packaged in 4.0.4).

I've been running Donut features for a few weeks. Most of the changes are good, but I can't stand the new camera.

@Bloodbeard: same here. Been running Donut in one form or another for weeks thanks to Cyanogen. Overall it's good, new camera blows though. It runs faster when a lot of things aren't going on in the background. It's great when you're trying to do something, like, send a text message while on the phone through bluetooth but you have some other crap running in the background.

Ahhhh Android....so much potential, hamstrung by shit hardware....thanks HTC...really, I mean it thanks for the brillance that is the G1.

@Striderhayasa - Can we get some damn m/kb support?!: I know right? HTC has had a long history with putting yesteryear's technology into new phones and trying to make it sound shiney. Can't polish shit.

And I swear the first person who cites the mythbusters episode is getting a trout to the face.

I ordered mine tuesday - called just now to 1-877-453-1304 (tmo support) went through prompts - when asked what i wanted said "account specialist" few more prompts was with a account specialist.
I said I ordered my phone a couple days ago and saw Oprah was giving $100 off promo and wanted to know if I could be applied to my order. The lady worked her magic and viola - $100 code applied!! so might be worth a call if already ordered one!

Wait....Oprah featured the myTouch on her show?

Not for nothing-I mean, I like it when Android gets attention-but I haven't trusted her ability to grasp anything internet related since that 9,000 penises fiasco. ;-)

At that price it's almost worth buying one just to compare to my G1, to see which I prefer.

Oh wait... I love my hardware keyboard.

But I wanted a car, or at least an iPhone.

I got my Mytouch 3G this past Wednesday and so far I love it. My observations so far:
1) There is no easy way that I've found to turn off an app. You would think that pressing the home button or back button or even the call-end button would do it, but none of them do for many, many apps. For this reason, I highly suggest downloading Taskiller.
2) Phonebook runs in the background after you've stopped using it for some reason, like many other apps. I THOUGHT that it was causing video lag, but I'm going to try running it again as my task manager says it's only using 17mb of memory while it's in the background.
3) Absolutely Essential Apps: OI File Manager, Taskiller, and Useful Switchers.
4) Only major problems with the phone so far: a) that you need something like Taskiller to turn off apps and b) there is no freaking zoom in the camera! Seriously, how in 2009 do you sell a phone with a camera that can't zoom in and out. My mind boggles at that shit.

@whiteflea: Because without a physical zoom all you're doing is cropping the picture and you can do that in the picture viewer.
If you're dead set on zooming try Snap Photo. Its a pretty decent camera utility.

I actually prefer the imeem app over the last.fm app. Perhaps when compared to other platform's apps it seems somewhat bland, but on the android it's really no contest as to which one is better in my book.
Imeem allows you to pause the song your currently listening to to come back to later, last.fm simply stops everything and boots you out to the main menu.
Imeem also has a home page widget that allows you to control the music and see song/artist info.
There are a few other features as well that stand out, but I don't want to turn this post into a mini-article.
Check them both out and you'll see what I mean. But don't take my word for it!
