Q. Alright so I'm getting a new phone.
Should I just get the MyTouch 3g slide, or wait for the Samsung Vibrant( Galaxy S ) to come out?
Which one is better?
Which one costs less ( phone/bill wise? )
Please help, it would mean a lot to me. I don't want to make the wrong decision.
Best answer gets 5 stars :D
I like stars.
A. Well as far as specs, the Vibrant is better. BUT...I had a Nexus One, and went to the MyTouch Slide. The Slide is more responsive than the Nexus One, at least in my case. The Vibrant seems like a very nice phone, and I am still pondering getting rid of my Slide to get the Vibrant but the trac record of Samsung updating their phones is pretty bad (from what I hear), where as HTC is pretty good in that aspect. Also, my Nexus would get VERY hot while on a call or surfing the net, I am guessing it is from the processor, while the Slide with the "weaker" processor does not get hot, but again performs just as well, if not better. The Vibrant is going to have a 1GHZ processor and may get warm/hot because of it.
Personally I would never have guessed I would like a physical keyboard until I had one. It is nice to have the option of swype as well as the hard keyboard. I mean, yeah the Vibrant has the 1GHZ processor, but your average user is not going to know the difference with the Slide being as responsive as it is. The screen on the Vibrant is going to be 4in I believe, personally I don't watch movies on my phone, so the "super" screen is not a must for me. The screen on the Slide is smaller, but looks very good when I am viewing my pics and whatnot.
Another thing to consider is that allot of times when companies tweak Android to make it more unique, performance of the phone can suffer. Take Motorola and MotoBlur. I had the Cliq, and MotoBlur slowed the phone down allot. The MyTouch Slide's Expresso UI is very nice, and does not slow the phone down at all. I have had the Slide for a week now, and it has not force closed anything, or had delays in opening applications. The Vibrant is going to have Samsung's own brand of Android cover up (which makes the icons look horrible in my opinion), which I have no idea how it will affect the perfomance, but with the HummingBird 1GHZ processor, it very well be extremely well in performance.Obviously allot of this is speculation seeing as how the Vibrant is not out yet, but with my expirence with the Slide vs Nexus, the extra processing power did not make the Nexus perform better than the Slide.
As far as cost goes, the MyTouch Slide is $179.99 with 2 year contract, and the Vibrant is $199.99. Both require the Android data plan which is $30.00.
In the end it comes down to personal preference. I think I am probably going to keep the Slide and see what comes out later. There will most likely be something better than the Vibrant right around the corner. The MyTouch is a very user friendly phone, and performs just as well as the higher spec phones out there. Plus the keyboard is a plus if you don't want a 100% touch screen phone.

A. its never safe to mix cases, because cases are made with the phones technical specifications. and are not interchangable
