T-Mobile myTouch Q User Reviews

my old Ericsson T19LX, Virgin Oystr, Arc, and T-Mobile Tap, because it threatens to do much, to do more, better, and doesn't. It takes more than two minutes to start up, slower than the others; my Blaze starts up less than 30 seconds.
I believed since I'm an old codger, 20th Century and country, I'd need a hardware keyboard. That keyboard difficult to make out the shifts to special characters and numbers in low light, or light at wrong angle. The call quality was not as good as some of my more primitive mobile phones. It has less talk time than some of them too. I keep it because it's a good paperweight. It has enough RAM to be a good paperweight. Even after I rooted it, removed the bloat, it still took about two minutes to boot up. It has some many strange glitches, unresponsivenesses, and downright freaky behavior that I began to believe I had bought an Alpha.
Sure the processor is fast, swift to glitch, quick to force close.
I can mention that the Music worked, sure. The video okay, not near what I discovered in other phones it could be and should be. But okay.
It is heavy, folk, especially old folk, like me, you dont need a hardware keyboard; it just adds more moving parts to malfunction, more weight, and does not make it easier unless on a tablet. I get angry with myself, with LG, and with T-Mobile, because when it worked it worked well, but has too many performance issues. I understand now why T-Mobile changed manufacturers for this series, too much money for the quality.
The camera worked. The music player worked. It's an ugly phone with problems, but a delightful paper weight, or self defense weapon.

the phone just isn't very good outside of battery life. The phone freezes during every day tasks such as switching from home screen to dialer. Google play randomly exits, android browser also randomly exits. Try to report anything that FC and then google play requires a FC. No ICS update though one was promised many many months ago.

The keyboard is offset to the right so that the left thumb has to hit more keys (can't see it from looking at it but goto store, pick one up and try to type blind -- you will quickly see what I mean)

Get something else.

its one year newer than the HTC devices by the same name but has the same specs.

ive had the phone for almost 2 months now and overally am relatively pleased with the phone. little things such as occasional 2-3 second delay to return to homescreen or answer/end calls, 4g is not always as fast as id hope, camera quality is decent, low res screen, and uneven lighting of keyboard lower the overall phone. however, the keyboard is EXCELLENT, for the resolution the screen is nice, the LG UI is great, and the genius button do make the phone nice for the price. anyone looking for a nice 4g smartphone for under $100, this is the way to go!
