Why is the Myouch 3g so popular?

IMO i think the mt3g is a waste of money and everyone is saying how its so much better than the G1 but really its got no keyboard and has 256 more megs of ROM. and it cant do everything the G1 can. in emulators. because you need a keyboard. yes ive seen some devs make one for mt3g but its no where near as cool IMO. but tmobile has 100 skydivers i mean seriously? is it that much better?

Its called marketing and if you read anything from the press interview they putting this head up with the iphone as far as  customizability. Yes the skydivers is very unnecessary (very) but whatever t-mobile thinks is marketable im down for it the more android phones the more development. Even though i think females will out-buy males on this one everyone of my customers who wanted it so bad was females lol, its still a great phone to get out to the mass who don't like the design of the G!.

I just traded my iPhone 3G 8gb for a black MyTouch3G. 

I have to say I was leary of doing this because I was an early adopter of the G1 and had nothing but trouble with the hardware, especially the battery.  I did like the Android OS back then so I am giving it another shot.

After 1 day of use, I have to say that the MyTouch 3G is a really good phone.  It's wayyyy faster than the G1, the touch keyboard is actually pretty good (not as good as the iPhone's) and it really is more customizable than the iPhone. 

It is a very good phone and will do T-Mobile well.

yes but its no different than the G1 and they did nothing for that. yes i think they should be marketing but to this degree when theres already a phone that does the same thing. thats like if the iphone 3g first came out then almost a year later they released the 3gs but the only difference was it was a 17gb not 16gb. and then said it was the best phone yet. to me it m,akes no sence to market to any degree near what there doing when theres already a phone exactly like it but with a keyboard.

Dude, have you heard?  The MT3G is Tmo's flagship phone.  This is what corporations do to market their flagships.  The G1 was just the guinea pig.  No offense, but I sense a little jealousy that somebody's phone is not getting all the attention anymore.

no the G1 barley ever got attention. no phone ever has got that much attention. and i understand tmobile having a flagship phone and i understand tmobile wanting the mt3g to be there flagship phone but when theres a phone exactly like it with a keyboard they should both be flagship phones so does it really deserver a lot of attention  since theres already a phone like it much less people jumping out of planes for it.

 I dont think thats the case at all, he is my son so I know him pretty well

 Its more that the mt3g isnt really all that more then the g1...I know some of you disagree but the specs speak clearly. Having a OSK is a plus to him, me as well. Had T-Mobile U.S.A decided to go with the Hero I think thats a much nicer phone and well worth the title of "flagship phone", thats a phone that perhaps I would have overlooked the lacking OSK..T-Mobile seems to get the red headed step child often, and often its her own doing. The TP2 will be a phone thats gonna take the "flagship" title away..that doesnt, or at least shouldnt make anyone jealous.. thats just retarded

umm Because it's so much sexier than the G1 (and this coming from a girl that absolutely LOVES my G1)

This is understood.  We know that the mt3g and g1 are the same phone.  Problem is, Tmo believes the mt is a potential iphone killer and not the g1.  The flagship name will never be replaced by the tp2, you can count on that.  The tp2 is an impressive phone, but that flagship name has already been placed on the mt3g.  Way too much hype about this phone has been put out by Tmo.  The flagship won't be leaving anytime soon.
Sorry to break it to ya, Black silva's DAD, but your son posted how this phone is a waste of money because it's like G1 w/o a keyboard...that post is reeking of jealousy.  That argument has been going on ever since the first magic was unveiled.  Why would your son create a post on the subject of not liking the phone?  Doesn't make sense unless there was some jealousy involved.  Excuse me for finding it weird that daddy is trying to clean up the meaning of his son's post.     

I don't see his post reeking of any jealousy at all. It's more his opinion, which I'm sure many, many agree with, just haven't said anything. I can honestly say I don't see the big deal about the MT3G, either. And it's not out of jealousy because I could go pick one up right now if I wanted. I just don't want to. That, and I'd much rather have a physical keyboard than just an onscreen. However, I do think it is smart for T-Mo to be promoting and advertising and hyping the hell out of this thing, because it IS their current flagship device. TP2 will be amazing, but they're both two completely different phones geared at two completely different groups: TP2 - Business Oriented. MT3G - The General Masses.

 What ever you think there chief. I see you have a MT3G in your sig, thats like me saying you want his post to be a post of jealousy, you apparently have issues that I am not so sure are tied to the phone. And yup, I am his dad, you have a fault in that? Is something wrong with the fact that both me and my son enjoy phones? That we both have G1's? That we both share the same thought on the MT3G? That we both frequent tmonews? Get over it bud. One of my lines is eligible for a full upgrade, I wont be using it on the MT3G as I already have a G1..IMO is a better phone, it has its faults yes, but so does almost everything ever made.

 This is not the first time I have said that he is my son on these forums, and it wont be the last..its also not the first time some idiot has made off topic comments about it either. He is my son, 13 years old, knows more about phones then most adults I know..perhaps you? Dunno. My reason for stating he was my son was, like I mentioned in my post was to assure you he is not jealous of the MT3G, you saw it as a way to attack in your immature ways. He could have gotten a MT3G had he wanted, at 13 years old he goes out in the neighborhood and gets lawns to mow, saved enough of his own money to buy himself a riding mower..had he wanted to get a  MT he would have gotten it.

 He has had several phones for his age, first was a crap moto that we got for him for his first phone, then went to a SE w550i which he paid for, after that a BB Pearl which he paid for, then a sidekick which he paid for, dash and again he paid for, iphone 2g that he paid for and finally the G1 and guess what? Yup, he paid for it. He earns his own money, sells phones he no longer wants on craigslist saves it and buys what he wants, so again, if he wanted a MT he would have one. To think that some one is jealous of something especially something thats easily in ones own reach is retarded. Do you think that you are that special?

 Ridiculous that you have to explain things to certain types of people, its almost as if they cant take someone's words for what they say. A professed Christian by reading your sig..act like it perhaps.

Gosh guys is it that serious?

Not worth getting all worked up about, but as a former G1 owner, who had the G1 from launch, I had three major gripes...

1. battery life
2. ridiculously small amount of storage for apps.
3. 1990's style brick design

The myTouch addressed all of those problems, plus it's slightly faster then the G1.

The size of the G1 just got to be a pain. I keep my phone in my pocket, and don't really like to carry a brick around.

Is the mT3G an enormous improvement? No. But, it addresses several major shortcoming of it's predecessor.

The reason it is so popular is because of the form factor and the way it looks, people really want a good looking phone to sport around, same reason people love the iphone, sure its an incomplete phone, but what phone looks better then the iphone, it doesn't matter about what features, what it had, what it does not have, at the end of the day its about how cool and stylish my phone is.  I had the G1 and it was a great phone, but it was bulky and ugly, the mytouch is almost essentially the same, except it looks ten times better, screen is a bit brighter, and a bit more responsive.  Battery life is a lot better as well, is it the Iphone killer?, no, but its a great alternative to those that are tired of Apple, and want something a bit different, plus you can customize it pretty much however you want it, another reason people really like this phone, my self included.

Ok, being that we are getting a little too emo on tmo (get it :-) ), I'll just squash this and agree to disagree.

userlame - love the sig

the mytouch has ddr ram

Its not that its that serious, and not really flying off the handle so to speak. Just outright ticks me off when an assumed adult has to go the daddy route, I mean seriously?

I know the mt3g looks a bit better then the g1 if thats what your after.. I have always been a utilitarian first I suppose, yes looks are a good deal in a phone, but usefulness is more important and I want a real keypad in my phones. Its personal preference really, but I wouldnt go as far as to say its clearly a better phone, either one for that fact.

You and your son need to get a life geeez.

so what your saying is that we cant do things or talk about things we enjoy? is that it? i also like American Muscle but here is no place to talk about cars. i also like playing games on the computer but here is no place to talk about playing games. the necessary thing to do here is to talk about phones. no cars or games. i dont wake up and think i need to go talk to someone about this phone on tmonews. i do other stuff but i enjoy phones, i enjoy getting a new phone, build, rom, theme. if i dont enjoy the same stuff as you do then i have no life? is it my fault i have a particular interest in phones? and also i have no life so your going to come onto these forums, do the same thing im doing, and comment on how i have no life. you need to get a life because for all i know you get up in the morning and go to your computer and tell people they have no life. thats exactly what you just did to me. assuming that thats all i do. you dont know everything about me, therefor all you know  about me is what youve seen on these forms so for you to say i need a life when all you know about me is i like phones is wrong.

 He has had several phones for his age, first was a crap moto that we got for him for his first phone, then went to a SE w550i which he paid for, after that a BB Pearl which he paid for, then a sidekick which he paid for, dash and again he paid for, iphone 2g that he paid for and finally the G1 and guess what? Yup, he paid for it. He earns his own money, sells phones he no longer wants on craigslist saves it and buys what he wants, so again, if he wanted a MT he would have one. To think that some one is jealous of something especially something thats easily in ones own reach is retarded. Do you think that you are that special?

 Ridiculous that you have to explain things to certain types of people, its almost as if they cant take someone's words for what they say. A professed Christian by reading your sig..act like it perhaps.

You and your son need to get a life geeez.

so what your saying is that we cant do things or talk about things we enjoy? is that it? i also like American Muscle but here is no place to talk about cars. i also like playing games on the computer but here is no place to talk about playing games. the necessary thing to do here is to talk about phones. no cars or games. i dont wake up and think i need to go talk to someone about this phone on tmonews. i do other stuff but i enjoy phones, i enjoy getting a new phone, build, rom, theme. if i dont enjoy the same stuff as you do then i have no life? is it my fault i have a particular interest in phones? and also i have no life so your going to come onto these forums, do the same thing im doing, and comment on how i have no life. you need to get a life because for all i know you get up in the morning and go to your computer and tell people they have no life. thats exactly what you just did to me. assuming that thats all i do. you dont know everything about me, therefor all you know  about me is what youve seen on these forms so for you to say i need a life when all you know about me is i like phones is wrong.

Point in case made get a life
