Mobilicity HTC Panache (T-Mobile MyTouch 4G) Review

Review of the HTC Panache after 3 months experience with the phone.

Some likes and dislikes about the phone.

Pros:
- Sense 2.1 UI . Love it, just so many nice features such as nice weather widget, music player, turning the phone over when ringing to silence it, and camera etc etc.
- Solid build quality, steel backing
- Physical home keys
- Touch pad (never use it, but nice to have)
- Great camera in terms of quality once loaded to my computer, and awesome features such as editing and LED flash
- Newer 1GHz Scorpion processor, slightly faster than the Nexus S.
- 768 MG RAM (most RAM out of Mobilicity phones)
- Now running 2.3.3
- Superior value for what you get! I picked mine up used for only $280! About $80-100 cheaper than I got the Samsung Nexus S and LG Optimus 2X

Cons:
- Small screen. Poor sunlight visibility. But, overall it's still very good
- A little heavy
- Battery door cover is super hard to remove.
- Worst selection of accessories available for it. Big complaint for me bc I like high quality cases. Still haven't found a really good one yet!
- When typing with physical feedback (vibration) on it gets sluggish. Don't know why, but I think the vibrating is too slow or strong and it can't keep up with my typing

What's that 3 yellow metal dot on the side for?

[MrNammajamma]

@scvs2 You can buy a dock for this phone. Kinda like what the Milestone had.

[MrJimyJohn]

this or nexus s? is the nexus worth the extra $50?

[MrNammajamma]

@MrJimyJohn If you really want ICS update, which is coming, than Yes. If not, than the Panache is good enough.

How to root this phone?

[MrNammajamma]

@Shivammcool No idea. From what I have seen, not very root friendly. But check out xdadevelopers website.

[MrNammajamma]

@OversizedBass There are ways to get ICS on it :)

[Herzontix]

Do you charge your phone everyday?

Thank you for a superb review

[MrNammajamma]

@Shivammcool Doubt it, and I haven't heard anything about this either.
