I have the g2x demo in my hand. You will love it. Base 2.3 dual core tegra and an 8mpx camera. It's silky smooth and fast as hell. Pulling 2600 quads out of the box. Screen is very bright for an lcd.
[Nexus One General] lance713:
You do mean 2.2 right?

ordered mine a few hours ago, customer loyalty over rided my upgrade eligibility (I'm supposed to be eligible for full upgrade in April 2012) ... AND the rep I spoke to threw in expedited shipping at no extra charge ... BEFORE i even asked him to upgrade my shipping... I was actually going to pay that extra $15.

$170.10 charged to my debit card and another $120 onto my account with an EIP. Rep said since I didn't redeem a rebate on my Nexus I should still be eligible for the $50 rebate.

this is why I love T-Mobile customer care, I seriously doubt AT&T's will be this awesome. I hope the buyout does not go through...

[edit: oh, 2.3 ghz .... I for some reason thought you meant base 2.3 android OS. silly me.]
[Nexus One General] chillwill11:
Yeah I just ordered my Sexy G2x too. I couldn't wait 4 HTC pyramid, plus a locked bootloader was a deal breaker 4 me. I love my nexus 1 to death and I would never sell it. So I gave it to my old lady. Just in case I have a nexus withdraw its still close bye. Can't wait 4 Cm7
[Nexus One General] donutman:
Just order it online with a contract extension. You don't have to get new service. I ordered mine earlier today and just ordered the phone. Didn't have to pick out a new plan or anything. I'm still on my g1 service. Since I didn't have to get a new plan, and I'm still on my g1 service, I wonder if I'm still under the 5gb cap?
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Did you order via T-Mobile's website or 3rd party like Wirefly?

When I go to the G2x page on T-Mobile's website ( http://g2.t-mobile.com/g2x ), I click "Order now", it asks me to sign in, and then it just brings me to the main page of my account. Even if I go back and click again, it asks me to sign in again, and then brings me back to the main page of my account no matter what I do. What the heck?
[Nexus One General] uoY_redruM:
If you sign a contract extension to order the phone, you pay full price for the phone, right?

I signed in my account, I clicked to buy the phone and it was $499 for me....
[Nexus One General] pakraider:
that sounds like you're not eligible for an upgrade or something... the whole point of renewing your contract would be to get the phone cost subsidized to $199..

when's the last time you upgraded phones?
[Nexus One General] uoY_redruM:
I've never upgraded. I'm a new contract though, as of early November. I figured I couldn't get a $199 price tag, but I thought they did a smaller reduction for a contract renewal.

I'm new to T-Mobile so I had no clue lol. I kind of assumed that was the situation though.

Looks like I'm not getting the G2x now :(
[Nexus One General] donutman:
Goto the shop phones section of tmobile. Filter the phones by clicking new and then sorting from high to low. You then should see the g2x and upgrade from there. I was running into the same problem.
[Nexus One General] pakraider:
yeah, I think 7 months is just too early.. I believe partial upgrades start at 11 or 12 months.
[Nexus One General] DanRo80:
I sold my Vibrant in order to get a Nexus One after having a hands on with the one I bought for my friends birthday. I don't miss the Vibrant one bit.

[Nexus One General] jerichoholic:
Once again....No one is going to be persuaded to buy the ARC. Stop it
[Nexus One General] Rod3:
+1to that. This Guy touts the arc all over the place and I just can't feel good about "new" phone that isn't even dual core. Not to mention a Sony at that with all their recent shenanigans regarding hackers (Geohot).
[Nexus One General] sn95chico:
G2x Here I come

I also just ordered my G2x from Firefly because I have been off contract for over a year... Only 160 with insurance out the door with 2 day shipping.

If I don't like the phone all sell it and keep the Nexous one but if i like it all sell the Nexous one and keep the G2X...

I just hope the battery life is good......
[Nexus One General] momentarylapseofreason:
After all of the reviews, this is the only thing I am at all concerned about. My buddy's Droid X with a screen that destroys my N1's, also has a lot better life than my N1.

I am a "hands-on" person myself and waiting for the store release on Wednesday. Already have a few interested in my Nexus....
[Nexus One General] erikiksaz:
I just picked up a G2x (got a new one for 480!)

Either way, a few thoughts:

-I really appreciate how the LCD is right up against the surface of the touchscreen. The worst thing about the N1 was that the LED was a couple millimeter's below the surface of the phone, which made glare so terrible.

-The speaker is very loud, and it's in the perfect place. I stick my phone into my pocket power button side towards the ground, so now the speakers are at least pointing right at my head, instead of pointing towards my thigh like the n1.

-The phone feels good in the hand. I could really care less that it doesn't have a metal frame like the N1.

-Stock froyo feels WAY faster than my cm7 N1 on 2.3.3

-The one thing that sucks hard is the old froyo KB. I haven't gotten around to loading a GB kb yet.

As for battery life, don't know, haven't played with the phone much.
[Nexus One General] cqms13:
If you buy the G2X "off-contract", i.e full price..

is it sim-locked to t-mo or can I use any GSM SIM in there?
[Nexus One General] jettrue:
I agree! I've done the exact same... dropped it countless times and once in the toilet. :)

However, I have scratched the metal by it dropping on it's corner. Just little chips. I had it in a case for the longest time, but I prefer it naked, even though she's gotten a few bruises.

I know I'm going to want to upgrade eventually, but the N1 will be a VERY tough act to follow. Especially now that I have MIUI running on it, I love it even more.
[Nexus One General] Lord_Buckington:
Same feelings here. My phone gets used so much and it's been involved in a fair few drops, but it just keeps going. I will replace my phone sometime this year, but I'm still not sure what to replace it with.

Sent from my Nexus One
[Nexus One General] player911:
My G2x should be delivered today. Hopefully the keyboard is easily replaceable. I think I have the GB keyboard apk on my SD card.

Froyo + GB Theme + GB Keyboard = good until CM7
[Nexus One General] cmstlist:
The GB keyboard is available in the Market too.
[Nexus One General] player911:
You Sir, just made my day.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Firefly? Like the show? Or you mean Wirefly? :cool:

How did you get it for $160? And did they make you change your plan / upgrade to $79.99?
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Where did you get it new for $480? :eek:
[Nexus One General] :
yea guys we need feedback and updates--probably too busy playing with your new phones :D

I am probably stuck at full price, since I just came to TMO from CBW in Feb. I am on a Gov't contract--in my name--and would replace the N1 that I owned when I came over. So, it's not an upgrade, so to speak. Don't know if that would help :confused:
[Nexus One General] erikiksaz:
Craigslist.

When the seller is running 30 mins late because they screwed up a 2-3k thousand dollar deposit at the bank, you just know that you could lowball them a little bit without it being that big a deal :p
[Nexus One General] player911:
I just sold my N1 for $260 :(

Hopefully I don't get screwed with Tmobile UPS shipping. I was sent a tracking number Saturday morning and everything says 4/18 estimated delivery but the tracking number just says a shipping request was put in and doesn't show any information.

I know UPS does this and usually have the item at home before their computers update. I have to mail out my N1 tomorrow so I'd hate to be without a phone for a few days.
[Nexus One General] erikiksaz:
Oddly enough my web2go (or whatever the $10 dollar plan is called) is working. I'm using the internet2.voicestream.com.

That'd be awesome if it remained this way.
[Nexus One General] NardVa:
Keep us posted on how long this stays working. :D
[Nexus One General] Lightning N1:
The G2x I was playing with at T-Mobile had a Swype Keyboard:D

Is it harder to get in to the Swipe beta when Swype comes originally installed on the phone?
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
I thought it wasn't in stores until the 20th?
[Nexus One General] bpm2000:
if this dies I dunno what I'm going to do - pretty much the only reason I'm still on tmobile myself.
[Nexus One General] Big Smooth:
It will almost certainly not stay that way, unfortunately. Web2Go has worked for many Nexus S users for a day or two before T-Mo updates their system and shuts it off.
[Nexus One General] player911:
Sucks. No phone. UPS says they haven't even picked it up yet... I guess I say goodbye to my N1 and wait a few days for the G2x
[Nexus One General] jerichoholic:
whyd you sell so cheap i have a docking station, extra battery, 4gb Mircsd card and im asking 300 :(
[Nexus One General] momentarylapseofreason:
Not sure what the value of the battery and dock are, but mine is up on CL for an asking price of $250.00 and willing to take $200.00. Seems that is the going rate on Craigslist
[Nexus One General] Das_mobile:
Please keep us posted if your $10.00 Web2go plan is still working on the G2x....Thanks
[Nexus One General] erikiksaz:
Still working as of now.

Some things I learned from the G2x today:

PROS

-So smooth! I downloaded Go Launcher EX and the drawer was slower than stock froyo.

-I can see the screen outdoors without going on full brightness

-Speakerphone is loud

-Battery life has been pretty damn good. White backgrounds don't drain the battery as much as the N1 amoled.

CONS

-Talking on the phone hurts my ear. The earpiece is at the top edge of the phone, which basically means that holding the phone up against your ear is like holding your ear up against the side of a table's edge.

-Earpiece is not as loud as the N1.

-GPS takes about a minute to lock on.

-Default sms ringtone is REALLY fruity, and it plays really loudly, so people were looking at me funny when I was getting texts. Totally my fault, though.
[Nexus One General] cqms13:
Is the phone sim-locked to tmo when you buy it off contract (i.e full price)?

(sorry for asking same question again but i need to know this:rolleyes:)

cheers
[Nexus One General] player911:
I had it up for $300 and had over 100 views but no bites. So I dropped it to $250 and I had 3 people immediately asking questions and requesting more photos. It sold pretty cheap at $250.

It was just the phone and all the original materials and the original box... and my 16gb microSD card.

I think $300 is a good asking price for the phone, dock, microSD, and battery, depending on quality.
[Nexus One General] :
I think you did fine

N1 is getting old and if you are on TMO, it will be useless many places if the AT&T deal goes thru.

Albeit, that may be over a year or more

[Nexus One General] Das_mobile:
I just sold mine for $250 on eBay, this it just what they are selling for now
[Nexus One General] nomisunrider:
Looks like it may not work (3g/4g) on anything but t-mobile...

[Nexus One General] player911:
I shed a little tear in my soul today when I put my N1 back in the original box and shipped it out. I hope I'm happy with the G2x.

I was playing with my iPad 2 last night surfing XDA, and without a trackball... it was driving me crazy. Hope it isn't that bad.
[Nexus One General] Lightning N1:
Most stores have it, just not allowed to sell it yet.

And you may have to talk them into bringing it out, even tho you know they are testing it out in the back:D
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Ah, thanks! May head to the store tonight to check it out :cool:
[Nexus One General] crachel:
3G will work on AT&T if its SIM unlocked unless of course the phone's stat sheets are incorrect
[Nexus One General] cmstlist:
Right, the thread is putting forward evidence that the stat sheets are incorrect - no 850/1900 3G after all.
[Nexus One General] :
Yea,

The N1 will not work 3g on AT&T, Had to specifically buy the TMO one to work on CBW.

Now on TMO as of Feb and stuck. NO upgrading unless at full price. Mgr new I wanted to Dual Cores when they came out in spring to replace N1. Said they would be available, but failed to mention upgrade policy and my options. My fault too.

But, the N1 came from CBW and I got the MT4g for son and LGDLite for wife. So, technically I am not upgrading a TMO phone and am on a Government Contract in my name, not sure if that effects upgrade policy. Would extend contract or meet them halfway. Funny, I haven't gotten the store's/store mgr's customer satisfaction survey yet. Hope it is still coming. I addressed this with him today, but people were in the store so couldn't get face to face. But, he acted like, so what, and I don't remember you.

If I play with the G2x and like it enough, may just buy it, but not from store. No sense to buy a phone now if on TMO that is not AT&T compatible. Or, wait for the N3 or a 2gz ram super phone next year. WHEN AT&T breaks my contract next year, more options available

I will call TMO and ask to talk to a supervisor or retention (I know that sounds meaningless atm) and gripe a lot politely to a rep. You never know.

Ken
[Nexus One General] crachel:
no way, the phone has 850, it might be similar situation to the Tmobile Vibrant having 1900 but needing a software hack to enable it

edit: this is how they did it previously
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
wait a minute. so all this time the G2x was supposed to be FINALLY the phone with both tmo and att 3g, and it turns out it doesnt have att 3g bands? holy creap where is this being posted?

In this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=13041871#post13041871
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
I'm guessing LG put out an incorrect spec sheet and it just got parroted all over the place.

The only way to know for sure is for someone to unlock or hack it, and put in an AT&T SIM. Or wait until iFixit get's a hold of one...
[Nexus One General] erikiksaz:
Ok, a couple more things I've noticed:

Whereas on my N1, the majority of the battery usage was from the screen, the LCD usage on the g2x is the lowest of all my other processes! Really odd!

Cell standby is actually at the top of the list, at somewhere around 40%. And on my N1, cell standby at this point in time would be something less than 10%.

Really odd flip-flop.

Either way, battery life is very good. With the N1, I'm usually down to 80% after 2 hours of recording with Tapemachine. With the G2x, I was at 87% after 2 hours.
[Nexus One General] momentarylapseofreason:
EXACTLY what I needed to know! Def buying it tomorrow!.... eh hem.. later today :)
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
I'm in the same boat now, just ordered my O2X, and the N1's auction finishes tomorrow morning. Best be a good upgrade, I spent a few days with an NS and decided I'd be better off skipping it.
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
man i feel like i'm gonna crack, we just cant get any penta band phones aside from the ones nobody wants from nokia with symbian still running. insanity. (BTW i did play with the astound last night and it wasnt as bad as i thought, though still not great i.e. web browser.).
[Nexus One General] MrCDWJR:
Cyanogen tweeted that he has one so that's a good sign. Hopefully I get mine today.
[Nexus One General] Das_mobile:
Well t-mobile service isn't good where you are at, so why do you care?

There will be more if ATT buys tmo :-(
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
T-Mobile is sending Cyanogen a free G-Slate

http://twitter.com/#!/TMobile/status/60768738747748352

[Nexus One General] cmstlist:
OMG awesome!

But...

What exactly can he do with a G-Slate when Honeycomb isn't open-sourced yet??
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
T-Mobile is trying to get a few sales for their tab by giving it to a major developer, how... interesting. I guess. For some reason the G-Slate is the least hyped of the Honeycomb tablets. I haven't seen much care for it and maybe T-Mobile knows this?
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
A) Play with it. It is a gift meant for his personal use after all :cool:

B) Port CM7 to it I suppose :confused:
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
i care because i wanted to buy the device to use on ATT, since att android phones are basically non existent. there is a nexus one, and an htc inspire, meanwhile tmobile gets every android device ever made. so finally a quad band 3g device comes out, but turns out it really was a lie...:( it doesnt get more frustrating than that.
[Nexus One General] mrbkkt1:
one of my coworkers bought one..... to replace her mt3g. I'll check it out, but am probably leaning toward the Sensation (although pyramid is a better name IMHO), also, I'm still waiting for a phone to "leap" past the N1 before I switch... nothing really has, maybe a step or two, but no leap like the N1 was when we bought it.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
The G2x seems like a pretty huge leap: Dual-core processor, HDMI-out, bigger screen, better camera. I'm finding it difficult to resist the temptation myself! :cool:
[Nexus One General] Slimgym20:
That awesome! Hopefully lots of his work will make its way to the Xoom!
[Nexus One General] MrCDWJR:
after a few hours of playing with my G2x i have nothing to complain about. so far so good. its large compared to the nexus one but i'm already getting use to it.
[Nexus One General] mrbkkt1:
It kinda is like going back in time, playing with froyo...., also the week before the g2x came out, all of the tmo 4g phones were free. I'd wait til right before the sensation comes out before making a decision.
[Nexus One General] wondercoolguy:
I got one and between the random restarts and bleeding screen id wait. not for the sensation because htc has proved they don't care about battery life i.e thunderbolt, but to see what lg is going to do about these issues
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
I must be quite lucky, I'm not getting any random reboots.
[Nexus One General] worminater:
I don't know if I could turn my nexus on...
[Nexus One General] player911:
There are some reports of screen bleeding but I think all LCD screens have a percentage that have bleeding effects. My original G2x had it bad but bought a new one from a store that doesn't.

Also mine has never restarted and there aren't that many reports of such.

Again I think all new phones have a small percentage of those with troubles. 98% won't be affected. I just advise to buy one from a store so you can return it if there are problems, like anything. Both G2x's I have are rooted and run great. One has bleed so it's going back to tmobile online.
[Nexus One General] abhi0n0nakul:
wait for pyramid....

dont leave htc....

saying from experience of trying nearly all cellphone brands...
[Nexus One General] epine:
I had to quote this from the g2x forum member Ethereal because it is spot on with HTC vs G2x.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Wow, I didn't realize HTC was so cheap with their components and THAT bad with coding drivers. I guess no more reason to stick with HTC? (And this is coming from a G1 and N1 user, both HTC devices, and I haven't owned any other smartphones.)
[Nexus One General] JHaste:
just 2cents from me... This g2x is a real breath of fresh air!

I sold my nexus for 200 cash to some new android user, hope he has as much fun with it as I did but now I virtually got a free new phone :)

Honestly, if you go over to those forums and look at all the threads and stuff its a mess with people complaining about crappy battery life, lcd bleeding, the bluetooth being quirky (cuz LG has a ****ty custom stack), blah blah blah... but honestly, like any phone, just be careful with what you buy, especially when it is new technology... Remember what the N1 section looked like when we first got our phones? lol

My screen does have some bleeding but it is nothing you would notice unless you were viewing in a dark setting and the screen was primarily black. Other than that the screen is amazing! Colors are very vibrant, blacks and whites both look good, i really dont feel all that deprived coming from an LED screen.

I had a battery drain issue but it was fixed by a simple format to factory defaults and I got 20 hours of moderate use on 1 charge last night/today...

the touch screen it SO much nicer than the n1 (obviously lol) and that was my biggest qualm with the N1 was the touch screen responsiveness. typing is so much better, i can play games that require more than one touch input at a time...

Sounds like cyanogen picked one up and tmobile said gingerbread is coming soon so the sky looks bright! At least go check one out!
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Not that the guy doesn't know what he's talking about..cuz he might. But this is just his opinion. He could be right, but I've always been impressed by HTC build quality. My Nexus One feels so amazing in my hand I couldn't let it go for the Nexus S. How about the other manufacturers try making an all around well thought out and designed handset rather than only doing half of the job?
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
well everyone kinda knows that. speakers are the other component HTC just WONT use good quality, they consistently, in EVERY. SINGLE. DEVICE. use poor camera cmos and speakers, over and over, on every phone they've ever released.

but their feel and build quality always outweighed it for me so i like HTC in spite of those other shortcomings.

Hi there guys,

For those that dont want to run the gauntlet of Ebay.

Sweet. Good find. Thank you!
[Desire Accessories] infamous6622:
got one myself, not really class 10, and nowhere near 15mb/s

[Desire Accessories] immortal_plt:
Really class 10?
[Desire Accessories] talonlan:
If you dont get class 10 speed results, then i suggest that you probally have a faulty card and send it back.
[Desire Accessories] infamous6622:
read the thread on that link, nobody is getting 10mb/s.

the card is unbranded, its labeled class 10, but test shows it is not.
[Desire Accessories] talonlan:
I am getting 10mb/s write speeds and 23mb/s read speeds on that card.

Ill send anyone a pic of the speed test as i cant post it here as of yet.
[Desire Accessories] talonlan:
Here is link to SDTools pic of speed test, SDTools used.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/talonlan/5606749250/

Not saying this is by all means perfect, and that it only just creaps in as a class 10, but lets face it £18 for a 16gb class 8 would still be a pretty damn good deal.
[Desire Accessories] cez10:
I've read the whole thread and basically you just have to be lucky with your card, it might not mess up in a few days/weeks/months time but theres a huge possibility it will, as some people reported it back in the hotukdeals thread
[Desire Accessories] paprkut:
Got the same card. Mines branded pny even though it came in plain shrinkwrap.

Ran sdtools and get roughly 10mb write 18-20mb read. Not sure if I have a faulty one but its faster than my Samsung 8gb class 6.
[Desire Accessories] mark1316:
It aint much faster m8 my Samsung 8gb class 6 gives upto 7.6 read and 17/19 write speed so I would be looking for more speed that your getting ?

I bought a joyflash and getting upto 15mb write
