I-Phone 3G versus T-Mobile My Touch 3G

by linalryan - 8/22/09 1:41 PM

I am at the end of my contract with T-Mobile and considering switching to AT & T in order to get the I-Phone. However I can't really afford to get the new one, so I am wondering if anyone has any advice on choosing between an older I-Phone 3G and the new T-Mobile My Touch 3G. If I stay with T-Mobile the cost are basically the same. It's hard to tell, never having used the My Touch how it compares with the I-Phone. Any advice? Opinions?

T MOBILE MY TOUCH 3g

PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR RATING AND OPINION OF THE MY TOUCH 3g AND HOW DOES IT COMPARE TO THE I PHONE GS? I FOUND THE I PHONE GS VERY EASY TO USE BUT NEVER TRIED THE T MOBILE PHONE. IS IT AS EASY TO USE? I AM NOT GOOD WITH LOTS OF GADGETS ON CELL PHONES AND NEED ONE THAT IS EASY TO OPERATE. ALSO, IS THE MY TOUCH 3G A GOOD PHONE AS FAR AS LOUD AND CLEAR SOUND QUALITY? TERRI

The my touch rocks!

I have the my touch 3g and my roommate has the iphone his credit card used for itunes is already maxed out, and me I havent spent a dime for music apps or anything! you do need to educate yourself on the android operating system it is very advanced and has potential I cant even describe I love it. There are so many applications for it and 95% of them are free. at&t seems to nickel and dime you on everything ringtones,music,wallpaper and everything else. Also with t-mobile I have insurance on my phone no matter what happens to it. This is my first experience with t-mobile and I couldnt have been happier!

My touch

by GraceRains0904 - 10/11/09 9:26 PM In reply to: I-Phone 3G versus T-Mobile My Touch 3G by linalryan

One other thing I like about my touch is that you can put your sim card in from your old phone and it has a memory card so you are not paying hundreds for a new iphone everytime you need more memory. Transferring phone numbers is a breeze in comparison to the iphone because I had to type everything from scratch when I got the first generation iphone back in '07.

Also, t-mobile plans are cheaper and it's true that you don't have to constantly keep paying for apps and such.

T-mobile and the my touch rock!

Oh and not to mention the insurance that they don't offer for iphones.

Well I preffer iPhone 3gs

by Silvervega - 10/16/09 10:14 PM In reply to: I-Phone 3G versus T-Mobile My Touch 3G by linalryan

Well in my opinion the iPhone 3gs it's the best option. Like you said the price sucks but it's worth it. iTunes it's helpful but you don't have to spend a dime on apps if you don't want. If u want music you can add it from your pc or mac. For "free" if you know how to do it. Battery life it's good on it. I use yahoo messenger that is on 24 hrs a day. But probably you should go with your budget unless saving money would be option 2 if you really want an iPhone or just get a my touch or g1. Well that's my own opinion since I own an iPhone 3gs and it's just way better than all the other phones I ever had.

Iphone 3G versus T-Mobile Mytouch 3G

by melburns777 - 10/20/09 10:37 AM In reply to: I-Phone 3G versus T-Mobile My Touch 3G by linalryan

I just quit from T-Mobile because I want to try the Iphone 3G with ATT. I was disappointed with the Iphone. With volume all the way up, I still can hardly hear especially when I am driving, it is even worst using the speaker. This experience is also happened to my husband so, we are thinking to go back to T-Mobile for the Mytouch G3. Is the Mytouch 3G have a loud and clear volume without button all the way up? We have a healthy hearings so, it must be the Iphone plus, the battery conditions does not make us happy. Other than that, Iphone is a great touchphone. Please, anyone have experience with Mytouch 3G? please give us an input before we switch from Iphone/ATT. Thank you.

The car is a neutralizer of sort

by Pepe7 - 10/20/09 12:12 PM In reply to: Iphone 3G versus T-Mobile Mytouch 3G by melburns777

Even inside an S-class Mercedes there will be *some* road noise to contend with. That's the reality of the situation. Speakerphones are not really intended to have to navigate through the typical sound dynamics of inside a moving vehicle. You won't see any improvement as such by moving to the T-Mo mytouch3g. If anything, you'll likely lose more than you would gain by moving away from the very user friendly browsing experience of the iPhone.

iphone speakerphone is a whisper

by eeemang - 10/20/09 5:59 PM In reply to: The car is a neutralizer of sort by Pepe7

Hey, I have tried the iphone speakerphone and the volume is useless as far as I am concerned. I am so used to the really useful volume from a Nextel speakerphone for the last 7 plus years so anything else really is a whisper. I have 2 friends with the iphone (original and new 3G) and they both agree esp the 3G owner who had Nextel for about 5 years. (For me loud speakerphone is a super priority while driving; those bluetooth earphones are too annoying to use.)
He also tells me that the 5 bars signal strength indicator is a lie during the 430 - 6 PM busy phone call time: he basically cant make any calls during that time here in NY area with 5 bars since the ATT network is overloaded. (did they make an "app" for that to create 5 bars when in reality the network is zero response??)

Mytouch 3G - New! 

by montel22 - 12/9/09 2:34 PM In reply to: Iphone 3G versus T-Mobile Mytouch 3G by melburns777

I had an Iphone and i sold it, apple sucks they just add new features to the next cell and they slap a heavy price tag on it, and no insurance which make no sence. the Mytouch 3G is wonderfull and plus the 2.0 firmware update is coming soon, its co customizable you can do anything with it.

MyTouch 3g

by B_Rod1994 - 11/27/09 8:22 PM In reply to: I-Phone 3G versus T-Mobile My Touch 3G by linalryan

It's a great phone. The best i ever had. Battery life is great. Sound is awesome. Volume doesn't have to be up all the way to be loud. Its very fast on web browser and i like it. I've had the my touch for about a month 1/2 and i love it. Definitely recommend it!
