Its Samsung... don't like so much.
Touch wiz
I believe no tetra games either.
Besides it being 1.2ghZ I don't see much difference... much rather keep the g2x. No one knows if cm7 would even be on it. Lol
Samoled looks artificially vibrant. It looks like neon colors just bursting on your eyes imo
The g2x also looks better I think...

If you like this phone keep it. End of story.

Leaving the over boosted size aside, IMO, the biggest issue of sgs2 is there is no guarantee that it will be on t-mobile. Plus you are very likely to be forced to wait 3-4 months to see in the US market...
They need to get gingerbread out fast so I can see if they fix any of the issues I have.

Just buy whatever you like more? I'm for sure picking up a GS2 when they drop here, I couldn't care less the carrier etc. But then again I'll probably swoop a Sensation (Evo3d more likely...) too.
Ahhh...the joys of off contract purchasing.
I was in the same "dilema" because I wanted to wait for Samsung Galaxy S 2. Here was my final Pros for G2X and Cons for Samsung GS2 that lead me to go with G2X.
Pros for G2X:
---
> Tegra Processor (means Tegra zone, means future potential for Playstation support)
> Stock Android (Means higher likelihood of updates, faster device, with no UI)
[I reasoned that 1.2GHz with more RAM but Touchwiz was probably equivalent to 1.0GHz with a little less RAM but stock android, not scientific at all btw, just conjecture and uninformed estimation]
> Easier to root/mod, in case I decided to fiddle around with it in the future
> Build quality is long lasting and much more professional/sleek/awesome
Cons for SGS2:
---
> Samsung Updates are Non-Existent, GS1 just got Froyo about a few weeks ago, still no gingerbread
> New Touchwiz is nicer, but a nice piece of crap is still crap
> If I purchased I would immediately mod the phone to get stock/vanilla android (so in essence why go with it only to revert to stock)
> Build quality not as solid as G2X from what reviews say
> Final reason I decided to not wait... If history is any indication, T-mobile got the weakest iteration of the first Galaxy phone (no flash, missing features, etc)... I wouldn't be surprised if we get a T-mobile version that is missing some of the awesome features that we held out for.
The G2X is here now, is a great and fast phone and will be as powerful as the Galaxy S 2 out of the box, especially in everyday use. Aside from the defects that are being talked about, I think G2X is the better choice.
G2X
I would go with the G2x as well. Because it's stock android, t-mobile did a good job of staying out of the way here, plus touchwiz doesn't upgrade a user experience enough to be a game-changer. A lot of people believe it makes a phone worse. Beyond that, the G2x looks really nice, feels solid, and works really well, or at least should once the update comes. I say go with what you want, list your own pros and cons, watch some review videos, and make an informed decision based on your preferences, just like anyone else.
Yes, this is my first stock Android phone and I have to say I much prefer it. Although my only comparison is HTC Sense, which I didn't care for. I really liked what I saw of the GSII, but at some point you have to buy a phone instead of always waiting for the next big thing. Figured I'd buy the G2x now and I'm pretty okay with that.
because G2x is a google phone and will be updated a lot. samsung has a nice screen but that's about it. i've had 2 vibrants. nice but nothing compared to this phone. i wouldn't want to have to deal with samsungs bull**** again after it took them 8 months just to upgrade to froyo when froyo came out near the same time as the vibrant. plus you have to deal with people from india when you call support (like dell). nothing agains them but they ones across the ocean couldnt give 2 ****s about assisting us im my experience. kept getting the run around and reffered back to tmobile when tmobile is who said i needed to speak with them!
reasons? You really need reasons to not buy that hunk of plastic?
-Samsung
-Touchwiz
-No updates... EVER...
-horrible dev support
-did i mention Samsung?
Galaxy S 2 is a 4.3" phone. After your initial excitement, you'll need a phone that's practical for you.

Im returning my g2x tomorrow and waiting for the galaxy s 2
umm, SGS II is like months... MONTHS away from a US release. Why return this phone now and wait 6 months for the SGSII when you can buy this one now, and sell it down the line when the SGSII comes out, by then the demand will be just a great with all the support that this phone will have recieved
The SGS2 looks like a really awesome phone and I may upgrade to that if it ever comes to T-Mobile. Having said that, I am happy with this phone. It does more than I need it to and already has great developer support. I'm gonna take a wild guess and say the SGS2 will be out late summer to early winter if you can wait that long. I would keep the G2X and wait to see if the SGS2 is worth upgrading to. Also, by the time the SGS2 comes out, something better might be unvieled.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
The SGS II see nice, but the G2x is a fine phone. I brought my last saturday and until today I don't have any issues with it. This phone is solid, have the right size, it's stock android and dual core. What more we can hope for this phone for me it's great. I read that few people have issues with the G2x that's ok can happen, but we can prejudiced the phone just for that. Just my 2 cents.
i got g2x but return it after 10 days of use, 1st unit suffered from rebooting problems and same for backlight bleeding. 2nd unit was a bit better but the backlight bleeding was still there and the terrible battery life was unacceptable.
i'm a big fan of stock android and owned htc g1, nexus one and htc g2 and loved them all and despised my brother's samsung galaxy s but after checking out the reviews and videos of sgs2 i got to admit its a better phone in terms of battery life and screen, the only downside is the touchwiz, hopefully we'll get cyanogenmod support but i strongly doubt it, anyway i can install LauncherPro and half of the problem is solved.
If not for anything else, I wouldn't return and wait because you have no idea when the SGS II is coming out on T-Mobile. Personally, I'm a big Samsung fan. When I had AT&T I had both Blackjacks, and the Captivate, so most likely I'll pick up the SGS II when it finally comes out for us, but it's silly to just return your G2x wait it out that long. While I'm not a huge fan of stock Android compared to TouchWiz, it does hold true that this phone (G2x) will most likely get the best support of the two for upgrades and what not. It really pissed me off that soon after I left AT&T, they finally released the Froyo upgrade...Samsung is terrible about making statements then going back on them. They said Froyo would come out in October, then December, then it finally came out like what a month or so ago? I don't know LG's history for updates or how quick T-Mobile gets stuff out as I just got on board with them a week ago, but based on what I've heard, you're far better off update and support wise with the G2x than the SGS II. Plus the G2x has the Tegra processor, which is just friggin' sweet! SGS II has Samsung's processor configuration, no Tegra to be found. GSMarena did a comparison of the 2 phones, and they both stood up to each other well, especially on the benchmarks. The only real advantage the SGS II had from what I read is the screen offers more vivid colors, but it's still the exact same resolution (800x480).
I am really really sick of this Droid 2 that VZW replaced my Droid with. I'm sick of Moto services invading my phone and slowing it down. There's no true ASOP build. This phone sucks balls.
I was set on buying an Incredible 2 OoC b/c it was cheap at $440 and saving my upgrade till later, but where I'm moving to next week already has LTE towers.
Do I really want to wait 2 months using this laggy trash? And possibly end up getting a TB anyway because the other phones coming out suck.
Or do I want to get a TB and save my upgrade till later in the Q4 2011/Q1 2012 when NFC Ice Cream Sandwich phones come out.
Don't want a Charge, poor build material choices.
Don't want a Revolution. Bing...
Does it really matter? Not really... You just root and you can put whatever you want and however you want.
Motorola tends to lock their bootloaders and make it hard to do what you want.
Samsung stated that they'll never lock it that way(Not in those words, but given the sense that they will leave it open)
HTC has been locking down their devices, but not as tough as Motorola does.
So basically pick a device with the hardware you want, and make sure it's root and you can install custom roms/kernels.
The T-Bolt is a great phone, and it has excellent community support. I have absolutely no complaints about my phone (aside from the battery life).
That being said, the Galaxy S II that's coming out looks sexy as hell. It might be worth the wait to hold out for that. Honestly, it's totally up to you.
There was talk about tiered 4G plans, which is what made me opt for the early upgrade to the T-Bolt (hoping to be grandfathered in to unlimited 4G). I haven't heard much on that front, but it's still a possibility.
wait a few months
from everything i've ever read about samsung phones, their software support is absolutely horrible. slow updates, faulty gps etc. i've heard a ton of people complain about the issue, and it seems to be the case with all their phones... never had one, but that's the impression i get.
the thunderbolt is a decent phone, but all it really has over the droid x is 4g. the t-bolt screen might be a little better, but not much. in day to day use it's not faster, the battery isn't even close and the build quality of the DX is equal or better. if i were you i would pick up a DX on craigslist for $175 and save your upgrade for a few months. The dx has even more dev support than the T-bolt and it's the best phone I ever had.
bottom line is, if you really want 4g speeds right now, really really bad, then get the thunderbolt. if you can do without that for awhile i think you will be really happy with a DX, especially after using the Droid 2, and you'll spend less than half the money.
the above is just my .02.
Show me a HTC or Motorola phone with latest software on it
Not you fat Jesus
I bought mine off contract and am very happy I did it. Yes there are a few issues, but nothing a little root cant fix.
Though waiting a few months for a better phone won't hurt, the TB is a great choice.

I just have to say that this cracks me up every time I see you post it.
Once you get a taste of 4G, you will never want a phone that is 3G only. So if you are moving to 4G area and don't want to pay full retail, I suggest you get a used Tbolt from craigslist and use it until something comes along that you like better, then sell the Tbolt
i love my TB, i have it rooted with das bamf NTE 1.6.3 and its about the coolest thing since MP3s.. as with others, the battery life on this thing is fkin AWFUL!! i have the extended battery and i still dont feel like its enough, however i use my phone probably more than i should or more than others. either way the LTE network is retarded fast and i'd never want 3g.
First off I just want to say I owned a droid 2 and it wasn't that bad. I jumped to the thunderbolt just to lock in the 4g rate. The bigger screen is a nice plus but other than that is the same thing. I wasn't overly impressed as other owners of the droid x and 2 have stated is not that big of a jump.
Before I end let me just say other than software wise android phones are exactly where I want them. I don't need a dual core chip in my phone and 4g is. good enough for anything I would ever want to do with my phone. I'm sure most of you will disagree but that's just how I feel. Flame away!

I picked up a TB on craigslist for $350. The custom roms still seem a bit premature, however they should evolve over time. Nonetheless it's an amazing phone. If you have a desk job or spend a lot of time in your car, the battery life is not much of an issue. Just stay plugged in.
Got my TB off Craigslist for a fascinate trade plus 150$. I love it so far.. 4g is amazing..once you.have it you won't want to go back.
Roms are not bad. I'm waiting for a complete cm7 or sense 3.0 rom but other than that das bamf runs fantastic.
If you have the cash and want a great phone with a growing dev community, go for it.

Thank you for all the input.
It's funny the other 2 forums told me I'm a moron and this one says Buy a TB!!!
I use over 2GB of data a month so the 4G unlimited (Hopefully grandfathered for life) makes it very tempting since my upgrade isn't till mid July which is around the time the rumors of tiered data plans landing. I'm also not to optimistic about an actual new phone coming out then. Maybe the SGSII but I really hate the fact that it doesnt have a search button. It's a damn Google phone and I use the search button all the time, for GOOGLE, not Bing!
I didn't even think about craigslist. That might be a good option.
As for a cheap DX. No way. It basically is a D2 minus the keyboard. I like the keyboard, I can sacrifice it for a 4G newish phone but not for an X. and I hate the Blur invasion, and locked bootloader. My D2 has been running custom roms. They're just too laggy and buggy still. Fab, Kejar, and Rummy are awesome, but they all had DXs and the D2 ports were just not good. Most of it I blame on Blur still having to be in there. I've been running GB stock blur and custom and for the first time since my D1 ADW launcher gets kicked out of memory and has to reload when I hit home.... I hate it.
EBay is your friend. Lots of Tbolts available every day, including NIB models. Prices similar to Craigslist, depending where you are.

OK folks,
I have been a member follower of these groups for a longtime now. I love the android environment. I bought a charge yesterday that is giving me problems. I have not even begun to hack and am having lockups, robot voice, slow response, etc.
I have just factory reset before I take it back but wanted to know what the groups feel about the 2. I am looking for opinions with a reason. Please don't flame either device or me.

I'm actually thinking about getting a charge. The product designer needs to get fired for making the tbolt. Not enough testing was done and it surprises me.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
Honestly if you can live without the charges screen, id go with the thunderbolt. In my opinion it has much better build quality, and the dev. support behind it is amazing, and will only get better with time. I dont think as many devs. will jump ship to the charge seeing how it isnt that much different then the fascinate. But thats just my two sense, both are great phones either way and are going to have their quirks.
def thunderbolt. faster, more support so far on xda sites, and samsung has been lazy with their updates..
Last week when I finally switched from Sprint to Verizon, I literally played with working models of the Thunderbolt and the Charge in the VZ store for 45min. I played with the app drawers,apps themselves,the cameras,hell I could probably have told you how many squares were on the back of the Charges battery case. After the 45 min there, I went to Best Buy and played with non working models for another 30 min (im VERY indecisive when it comes to new phones). I only went there because of my Silver reward zone membership and I had money off from the Zone rewards. In the end I chose the TBolt. I was very accustomed to Sense for one coming from my Evo for almost a year, and while sure the Charge as the Super Amoled screen, I like the screen on the Tbolt more. Touchwiz felt like a childrens coloring book in terms of the range of colors used opposed to Sense. The TBolt also feels good when held,actually feels like a phone while the Charge felt like a cheaply manufactured toy with a UI to match.
I read one review that I ended up agreeing with that said "The Droid Charge isnt worthy of the "Droid" name at all. Its nothing more then a Galaxy S class phone and Verizon needed a Droid branded 4G phone,so they slapped it on that (LTE radio) and bam, the DROID charge

I kinda feel the same way about the Thunderbolt TBH. I've had mine since Tuesday (the Thunderbolt), and I am really disappointed with Verizon's 4g initial lineup. The whole thing feels like Verizon had to rush there LTE network out, by annoucing it last year when they did (what Nov or Dec) and then they had to force out LTE phones, and none of them seem ready. I feel like we are all there test subjects, the problem is this isn't a test environment, and they are making some serious cash off the tests...
I am still torn on what to do. I have basically another 12 days before my 14 days left and I might switch to the charge within then.
Then again it doesn't matter for me...as LTE won't be in my area til later this year (as only based on Verizon press releases), I am only going this route to try for the grandfathered LTE...and kinda made up my mind this is the last phone I will ever buy on contract...

Main reason I didn't go with the charge, is because I had the fascinate. And Samsung's customer service, and updates for the phone are almost non existent. I will never go back to Samsung because of that fact. HTC is great about keeping there phones up to date. Just my 2 cents.

Yeah, Samsung has a long way to go in terms of US software support before I'll own another one. I went android for the development community and no or long delayed updates/source code stifles development. Heck, most of the developers won't even touch a Samsung device.

I could not have said it better myself. It's a great phone, and with all the dev support behind it, it will only continue to improve. T-bolt all the way.
I'm not a fan of the physical buttons on the Charge, and while Samsung was on the list of companies who would consistently update their devices at Google I/O, I'll have to see it before I believe it.
love my thunderbolt, hate the battery, but love the phone.

Yeah I still have 6 days left in my trial,but im liking it so far. Only issues I have are signal strength. Guess I LIKE seeing full bars but in my house,backyard even, I sit at 0-2 tops. Tho my area is slated in the new June 16 LTE rollout (Menomonee Falls WI), im still on the fence because of the little to no bars issue. This is strange tho because even with this, I can get 1.9-2mb download speeds on speedtest lol
reason's to buy the thunderbolt:
(1) the charge is cheap plastic
(2) it took team cyanogen forever to get sammy phones to run CM
(3) touchwiz vs sense isn't nearly a fair fight
the thunderbolt is heavy, but it's a solid "i'm a $250 on contract phone" heavy
Thunderbolt..just the battery blows. but from stats and everything ive read id go TB
I wouldnt buy a samsung made phone other than the Galaxy S2 or Nexus S. The former wont be out on verizon until probably winter sometime and the later probably never will be (but you could buy the version made for sprint and probably activate it for use with verizon).

I get bored with phones very easily but once i got my Inspire i wanted to keep it for more than a month or 2 (which was the shelf life for a phone to me for a long time) So i rooted it to keep me busy/interested, and when i get bored i dive deeper into the root to make it better.But im at a point now where i dont know enough to go much further, and the onlyfriends i have that are into phones like i am are through here. So its hard to actually be taught anything. So i really want a new phone but not sure which direction i should go, or if i should hold out till the new batch of phones is out. In short, why cant i be satisfied with a phone nfor more than a few months?
Nope i wanna stick around until a while. The inspire is a great device

Not tired of it at all. I do lust for the Galaxy Nexus or the Razr while laying in bed at night...but I feel bad about it in the morning.

Also, I do find myself getting bored with it easily. Definitely an amazing device, but damn that Galaxy Nexus is tempting. If only it had the 8MP camera!
I actually really like my Inspire still, It's still a very capable device. I am going to be due for an upgrade in the next few months and i am going to be holding on to this phone i think for a while. Till something really catches my eye, because i really want to get another HTC device. The galaxy nexus looks sweet but im not a fan of Samsung's use of so much plastic on their phones.
My inspire makes me pancakes for breakfast every morning. I'll probably keep it until I'm tired of pancakes or my pants don't fit anymore.

That's what's so great about Android and being rooted. Get bored, flash a new ROM. Voila, new phone
No way! I love my Inspire still, it's a great phone, everything is really smooth with it right now. I'll probably hang on to it for another 18 months till i have another upgrade.
I really like my Inspire. I can not find a reason to upgrade. Nothing else out does anything different. I need a new Experiance before I will upgrade again. (or my contract is up). I had a Windows phone and modded the hell out of it and then, I went Iphone and modded it to death, and then andriod. Modded to death. See my pattern, each was a new experience. I will need a reason to leave my phone before I will.
meh...
After having issues with the battery life, I'm ready to upgrade to something with a larger battery & better screen. I'm not really hating on the phone, just disappointed with it.
Next phone I buy will be at cost, since I picked it up for $100 with a new contract.
I'm not tired of it (took 2 months only) but maybe if a little disappointed, I was recently at a concert and record some songs but my disappointment came into play, pesimo sound seemed pfffff q was in a machine room, something my old iphone that never happened to me, but good either me every day I live concerts as he remains so until q together for my new iphone 4s.
I have to say I like it and can deal with the few minor probs like battery life until the edge is released or equal to it. Sense I buy all my phones at cost I am willing to wait and see the next Gen device and right now everything else is just too weak to justify upgrading yet
So far I'm lovin' it. While this IS my first smartphone, I'd have to say I'm impressed overall with the phone. One thing bugs me though. I don't take a lot of pictures, but when I do, I like to not have to set my whitebalance to fluorescent every time I want to take a low light picture with my flash... I kinda wish the coders had implemented where if the camera sees low light, and decides to use the flash, to just set the whitebalance to fluorescent. Ahh the little things.
Overall I like the build quality, for ME it's been a solid phone, and I love modding it. Endless entertainment!
i've had mine for a couple months and it's the best phone i've ever owned and im happy with it but honestly im bored. Too many sense rom's are the same and CM7 just dosen't interest me anymore and i've been using MIUI for the last couple weeks but i'm getting to the point where i can't really expand it that much more. I'm going to try to convince my dad (im only 14) to kick my brother off of our family plan and make him go to a gophone plan as he's 19 and dosen't use his phone much and then pay the ETF and switch to verizon, with christmas coming up i think he'll do it but i'll just have to wait
Tired of it? Heck no! This is my fifth Android device and I love it. To me nothing else out at the moment is compelling enough to switch. I love the actual build quality of the phone. Too many other phones just have too much plastic on them and they feel cheap. This phone is solid. Its plenty fast and well supported in the community. My contract is up in August of 2012 so if it doesn't get bricked before then, that is what I will be using. I look forward to see the offerings then.
I've had the inspire since launch day and it has lived up to the billing so far. There's really nothing you can't do with this phone. I live in Houston which has LTE but I'm working in Odessa right now so there's no need for me to jump into an LTE device just yet. They barely have hspa+ rolled out down here. I'll probably wait until next year for the new slate of devices, when att broadens their LTE footprints.
For now I'm enjoying my inspire

I love my inspire but like others am bored of the same old roms. Wanted the vivid but with the tegra 3 quad core already in the new transformer 2 tablet I think I might wait. And Samsung I believe has a phone called the flex that is supposed to come out q2 2012 with a flexible screen and body I think there are too many better phones in the near future to justify using my upgrade now and waiting two more years to get something better. Girl I work with just ordered the vivid so i will just look at it when she gets it and go from there

HOW IS YOUR G2X TREATING YOU?
Mine has been flawless, (little screen bleed) got it 4/20, its just tha everybody and they mama got a g nexus makes me itch for one, other than that patiently awaiting ics.

I love my g2x it was the phone i really wanted to get coming from a g1, but i settled for a mt4g first(also a great phone btw) Theres not really any other phone i would be interested in except maybe the epic 4g touch on sprint, but now that ive already decided not to go that route and wait to see what beasts of phones come out early to mid next year i have grown to appreciate my G2x even more since ICS will unlock all of our phones true potential and prolong its staying power.
I will admit some specs of the galaxy nexus are decent but the main dealbreaker for me is its no external sdcard. I feel like Samsung gimps the nexus line of phones so they can put most of their ideas and technology into their own galaxy s devices. The 1200x720 resolution display is awesome but i can achieve that as well on my g2x with lcd resolution or lcd density apps. HTC needs to make the next Nexus imho as they did the best job of all three so far.

This phone is just a misunderstood beast
If we had the proper support of source codes or drivers im sure this thing could of gone to the moon and back, but that's neither here nor there. In my experience and still to this day im glad i chose this phone. I probably be like others and really hate it if i had the reboot issues and etc though.

I got mine used about 2 months ago, and while I had some minor problems at the beginning, I wouldn't trade it for anything else in T-Mobiles lineup.

I like it much more after finding this website and flashing a rom. It has some sweet power, but LG's quality control is... lacking.
Not to hijack, but how long does cell phone hardware last? Does the cpu, internal memory, etc go after a year or 2 or should it work for a long time?
Well, the phone, hardware wise is great, and throw in a custom ROM and kernel, you're good!
I love this phone. And when ICS comes out it'll unlock even more potential.
i have no major complaints about this phone except for the fact that i have to restart it twice a day because it gets "bogged down" too quickly. i don't even use many apps so it should be able to handle my light usage a lot better. once i restart it, it's perfect for like the next twelve hours :|

cant use it as a phone lol
everything works great i get a slight popping sound in call drives me nuts brand new only used for 3 days so i use my nokia 3711 no reboots or or anything
To be honest, I liked my Nexus One better than this phone. Tech specs were (are?) beast when it first came out, but due to software limitations it's pretty much outdated at this point. Maybe I am hating on it too much but it's just not perfect in my opinion.
Bought mine in June and loved it! and currently, still loving it! im one of the Blessed few that got a perfectly working G2x out of the box minus (a instalock functioning GPS) which is now fixed thanks to the updated baseband. this phone is a SPEED demon. with all the necessary accessories to keep it cutting edge HDMI, 8MP Cam w/flash, FFC etc. i tend to go in and play with all the new "flagship" phones currently in the stores, and yet to see a phone that makes this phone look/feel "outdated" screen even still looks amazing even compared to the beastly SGSII. So the G2x is treating me AWESOME and im sure will continue to do so until my point of upgrade (if i even feel necessary to do so). Also special shout out to all the AMAZING developers that allow us to get a "new phone feel" with all the custom roms/ Themes and development etc.
Starting to appreciate it more. Wanted an htc amaze badly due to wanting to experience the sense ui. But after some comparing I would rather stick with this phone bcuz its perfect for me since running cm7 on it. Waiting for ics to blow my mind on this device. This phone is very underrated, I don't kno why but it is.
Tried the miui Rom and liked some of the features (mainly pop up texts that I can respond to without leaving a game or video) but switched to cm7 shortly after and am very satisfied. Phone doesn't lag anymore, runs smooth and I don't have to pull the battery out 4 to 5 times a day any more. In fact I may have to do it once or twice a week. I have a new fondness for my G2X now. Got it on 420 when they thought I was in line that morning for the sidekick lol. I may use this phone longer than ive ever used a phone before. Normally would switch every 4-6 months... almost did with the amaze 4g. But 500-600 bucks def not worth it.

I've had mine since late April and it's never let me down. I switched from a Galaxy S 4G, which I exchanged for the G2x, and I don't regret it one bit. This phone handles anything I throw at it with no problem. My GPS was basically broken until the new baseband update came out, now it locks in seconds. I've only had one random reboot since I've had the phone, and that was because I was messing with UV settings in SetCPU. I'm not looking to upgrade anytime soon.

Try using the handcent app, it does the popup feature as well. Usually for a 3D game like most Tegra 2 games it will take like five seconds to reload but you won't lose any progress.

Do you still get the same instant gps locks running bionix?
I came from a MyTouch 3G 32b. 528MHz processor, and 192mb of RAM... Talk about an upgrade!
No complaints at all. Came from an HD2 to this phone and it was worth it. Fastest android I've ever had.

Amazing phone! Came from an HD2 (which was also an amazing phone) and I'm just loving the speed in the G2x. I haven't had any dropped calls or random reboots.
