I had this phone for few hours now and it is unbelieveable fast and responsive.
The screen is better than in my previous Galaxy S 4G and actually feels better and more responsive. The colors are unbelieveable and more natural than SGS4G. Black colors will not make me return this phone at all.
Thr speakers are super clear as well. Actually got surprised by how clear the sound is.
Data speeds and reception have been great as well.
these are my first impressions.

T-mobile has the best customer service of all the time. I called today and I was 9 month into my contract with 3 vibrants on my account. I was offered new g2x and renewing my contract. I told them that other lines dont care about this phone but they might be interested in some phones that are soon to be released. And the rep told me just call back and they will give me full phone upgrading option to my other two lines. Cant be happier and cant wait for the ups truck now!

Did you call to cancel your service or did you speak to the sales department?
In my experience, the sales department would never make an offer like that so I'm guessing you were threatening to cancel unless you got a deal like this.
I actually talked to CS first and told them the problem that I was having with GPS on my vibrant and then she connected me to some other department(customer loyalty I believe). Then I nicely explained the stiuation with the phone having GPS problems even after the current replacement that I had. And he asked me, if I might consider an upgrade and I just told him that I could give it a try to see if the next phone is better. And then I told him that I cant upgrade all three phones right now but I might in future. So I asked for G2x and he expided for me and devided $250 into four month payment + $50 rebate. (btw, I have been with tmobile since 2004)
loving it so far only 1 problem
so im loving the phone so far. coming from droid 1. havent been able to test the 4g much yet only 2g at the house. I do miss some of the customizations in my rom Sourcery from the droid one will get to porting it to this when we get what we need from the great cm. coming over from verizon obviously. my only complaint is i was under the impression the tmobile girl would come welcome me and she hasnt shown up yet
I had a chance to briefly try one of these out at the store today and was really tempted to just buy it. I currently have a nexus one so it's a huge step up. The only thing holding me back is the HTC Sensation which is supposed to come out in june. Do you guys think it's worth waiting for over the g2x?
Nevermind...

I read multiple posts about the Sensation having a locked boot loader. I dont know how long it would take devs to get around it but it might be problem at first for a while. I would also would like to see a real world comparisson with G2x.

lol that would be funny. Im from nyc
The sound is incredible, both in call and external. I was amazed how loud and clear it is.
Great phone thus far except I'm burning the battery much too quickly.
Just got off the phone with an HTC rep. Talking about my landscape wifi bug and i mentioned the bootloader. i asked him if in the OTA will it unlock our devices and give us s-off and he said yes it will. Bad news is that they don't have plans in doing an OTA any time soon. Damn HTC. Damn them to hell.
EDIT: Apparently Paul is in direct contact with HTC. Might be coming faster than i and the retarted Rep knows!!
It's just a phone rep, I wouldn't read too much into it.
I'm sure they'll get it rolled out fairly quickly or they risk the modding market heavily favouring the Galaxy S II, and they can't afford that.

Well now that sucks... Just got the phone today, and was hoping that they will do something about it sometime soon....
Oh well, thank god we are not waiting on them only, and that we have some incredible devs in here that are going to kick the bootloaders butt, and do what HTC had to do long time ago.
Id rather see the devs do this, because if its just a given - its not all that much fun. Would love to donate for a job well done. I believe in you guys, you can do it!!
Just hope they aint like motorola and backflip on their promise. It just wouldn't make 'sense'

I had mine for one day then took it out.
You might have to change the title of your post mate. I just asked Paul if he had any insider info as to when HTC will roll out OTA for 1.34 and he replied "Very soon"!
It gives me a lot of hope, Paul is in direct contact with HTC... I believe he knows more than the CS who is based god knows where and has no clue about what's going on.
Awesome news!

Lol me too. Annoys the crap out of me. It doesn't protect the screen in any efficient manner, they always have bubbles after short periods (cause not designed to stay) and often make the screen harder to read (much much clearer without)
If you must have a screen protector (pointless if you ask me, glass is far stronger than plastic screen protectors) buy one designed for the job, cheap skates, what are they? $2?
Naked all the way for me, don't even like cases, just give me a belt clip holster and I'm happy
Lol, sorry for off topic rant but I couldn't help it, glad to see someone feels the same, I'm not crazy, well not alone at least

I just got off the phone with customer care. This is my 3rd phone in a week. Each one with different problems. (Dim screen, buzzing earpiece speaker, dust in the FFC, etc) I think my total is 5 different MT4G's...
They tried to send me some piece of crap 3g phone as a replacement. After blowing the whistle on that scam...

NO!!!...STOP!!!
The LG G2x is buggy as hell!!!
TMO and LG are promising an update to GB to fix ALL the issues....but haven't released it yet.
I have both the LG G2x and MT4G....MT4G is virtually flawless....I love it.
I would wait for the GB release on the LG before jumping in.
As of today with the G2x, you will be dealing with:
1.) Multiple random reboots
2.) Bluetooth connectivity issues
3.) Hung operating system (i.e. - phone will freeze and you will need to pull the battery to recover)
4.) Hot running battery and short Battery life
5.) Wifi connectivity issues
6.) Screen light bleed
7.) etc, etc, etc...this is what I have so far...don't know about everyone else.
I would wait for the GB released version...patience is a virtue, and GB on LG will prevent you from from throwing the phone out the window from the top of a 30 story building.

Obvious choices are either Evo3D or Nexus S 4G. I would probably go with the Evo3D.

I'd go with probably one of the 2 already mentioned: evo3d or nexus s 4g...I actually prefer the nexus s aesthetically, but after everything I've heard about Samsung android phones, I'd probably go with the evo3d...can't beat HTC when it comes to solid builds.
To the OP, good luck with your new phone. I for one am going with the same MT4G for 5 months and couldn't be happier. I did initially have to trade it ONCE to get a 'good' screen at the very beginning, so I understand the frustration of having to exchange it when you just want a solid phone...but it's so worth it when you do get that good unit.
I've gone through my share of phones in the past year and the MT4G has treated me right from day one, a good friend of mine is on the Evo 3D and loving it all day, (Reported that it in fact has been rooted) but HTC is to release the bootloader soon anyways but good job in the exploit.
The phones I've found to have the least amount of issues so far was the SideKick 4G, MT4G, G2 but obviously found what I was happy with here. Sorry to hear you had such a hard time with the phone as the devs here are great at their work and take pride in what they do, I've been around and so far I have no complaints on either end here.
Good luck on what ever you choose, sometimes you have to break a few screens before you find one your less apt to whip against the wall or out the car.
My gf has the evo 3d and ive never been a fan of the evo screens(4g and 3d) compared to a good screen mt4g, The evos felt like looking at my old washed out screen mt4g. I hope the galaxy s2 comes out soon. Id rather get that

Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
I went through four different boxes of the G2x at my T-Mobile store (my local store has awesome reps, lol). Every last one of them had horrible screen bleed in two or three corners.
My MT4G, which is like the effin' magical unicorn of MT4Gs (good screen, perfect power button, no creaky buttons, OCs and UVs like a champ), is almost AMOLED-like in the dark on a black screen. Not even the slightest hint of screen bleed even in a pitch-black room.
Which is a shame. I really wanted to bump up my screen size, and the G2x is a sweet device on paper, but sadly so many manufacturing issues with this one...
Guess I'll just wait for the SGSII or whatever else T-Mobile gets. Sensation's a bust with its locked bootloader.
My MT4G has been the best phone I've had - I have the good screen and none of the issues, nothing. I really hate to part with this phone in favor of Sensation, and already having second thoughts about it. I'll probably end up keeping it
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
I have the good everything except the eMMC chip. I hope it doesn't go out on me. I really do not want to play return-roulette with T-Mobile. I really love my Glacier, but I would trade/sell it for a Nexus S in a heartbeat if the Nexus S had an sdcard slot.
Actually, I would have just bought the Nexus S to begin with... lol

Yeah - they did that for me too. The G2x was so bad, I called yesterday and they are overnighting me another MT4G. Good luck!
People need to be banned for making threads like this. News flash. NOBODY CARES IF YOU GOT A DIFFERENT PHONE. Just go and call it a day.
if so, what did you say. i just got off the phone with corporate and all she could do was waive the 20 dollar exchange fee and tmobile is now sending me my 4th g2x.
when this new g2x is buggy like i'm sure it will be, what should i say so that customer care will send me a sensation instead. After going on a 14 day roadtrip where my g2x's gps refused to work i can't stand having to deal with this phone anymore.
thanks in advance

Might be worth a read.
The grass isn't always greener on the other side. Trust me. Going through three sensations I realized the g2x issues aren't that bad especially on cm7... Read my previous posts also as JW. Mines a completely different experience ...
If you have returned it 3 times within 90 days on the warranty you can just ask them to exchange it for you. I think they call it their "multiple warranty exchange program" or something like that.
Unlike Smashpunks, the grass was greener enough to make the Sensation my daily driver. My G2X didn't have any problems by the way. I just like the bigger display, crisper looking text, better camera and the phone feels better in my hand.

Again OP. This gentleman has proven his sensation to be worthy and have non of the wifi issues I had. So moral of the story is. The grass isn't always greener on the other side, always, but you may find that green patch like JW did.. lol
I love my g2x. I would have loved the sensation also without the wifi and screen issue after a week. So if the both were flawless which would I pick? Honestly if I had no issues on either. I think I'd still go g2x. Something about the tegra chip that foking rocks. Also that extra dead space at the bottom of the g2x by the capacitive buttons that everyone hates, well, I love it.... this phone looks sweet. Sensation was a great phone. Just 3 bad in a row gave be bad joojoo.
Oh jw is right. The camera on the sensation destroys the g2x, not only in quality but features. Like the video camera can refocus while touching the screen, genius ..

A: Last I talked to customer care they did say something along the lines of "well, what phone would you want instead?" when I said, "I have little confidence that another G2x will be any better." But I never followed up on that and just got another G2x on the way. It's my first replacement, and now my phone is working fine again after the backlight got stuck on dim and then refused to boot.) So I may keep the original since the bleed is minimal and I've never gotten an auto reboot. I have had to manually reboot a lot to cure failing wifi and other such issues.
B: The annoying, but effective GPS cure for me was to get "GPS Test" from the market, it's free. After I turn on the GPS I open GPS Test and I watch as it gets a lock in seconds. If I go right to Google Maps or Navigon after turning on the GPS it sometime takes a long time or never locks. Stupid extra step to get around some lame bug someone should be fired for letting ship with the phone, but it's working for me. WMMV. Good luck.
They replaced mine with a Sensation. I refused to leave the store without a fully working product or my money. I literally pulled a chair up to the manager an asked him to fix it or give me something that works.
I certainly liked the G2x a great deal but the Sensation is really reliable and the battery life is fantastic. I really mean that. I would happily use a G2x again...but not until I can rely on it.

I can't understand why people are jumping ship, the Thunderbolt is a GREAT phone and, with the right ROM is all anyone would ever need!
I'm sticking with it for two reasons:
1. because it's so perfect that nobody could ever wish for a better phone and
2. because UPS didn't deliver my Galaxy SIII today. It should be here tomorrow.

Congratulations!
What do you plan on doing with the old Bolt? IF you are going to make it a paper weight might I ask for it. Mine lost the top half of the screen and the ear speaker is out. Not good when unemployed so looking for a free phone?
Thank you,
Even though I jumped ship to a DNA, my use of the Thunderbolt is not over. It now serves as my music player and as a GPS unit. It is now more convenient since having 1 phone and using it for GPS, it would be a pain when you get a phone call and then you end up lost or whatever. Now I can answer my calls and speak my texts as I'm driving with my DNA while still being able to navigate. So for me, my Thunderbolt is still very much active.

I have a friend here who also was a TB user, he went with the S3 also, and really loves it. So I think its a learning curve, new setup that you will get used to. I am still trying to figure out just how I want my start screen set up, keep changing it. Eventually I will stop. Or die, whichever comes first!

Yea, like I said, my biggest issue is actually the camera button, I give it a love tap everytime I grab the phone. Thankfully its not an instant on, otherwise that would be a problem.
Its good to see though, that even with this minor (I believe its a minor) issue, its still a great phone. There is no way you can make the location of the buttons perfect for everyone since were all built with different fingers and hands.
And I didn't keep the TB, sold it back to Verizon for 33 bucks, and with the 8X on sale for 99, its nice to only pay 66 bucks for an over 500 dollor phone!
AND I think I FINALLY have the start screen where I want it. Now just have to figure out how to reduce the size of all my songs. With all the songs on, I maxed out the memory. Surprising, its still wicked fast with only 30mb free! WoopWoop!

What do you plan on doing with the old Bolt? IF you are going to make it a paper weight might I ask for it. Mine lost the top half of the screen and the ear speaker is out. Not good when unemployed so looking for a free phone?
Thank you,

Yea my ear speaker is out also. I managed to blow that speaker and crack the bottom right hand corner of my screen.

I went to the note 2 first day it came out and haven't looked back. I do miss the simultaneous voice and data over 3g. I work in a 3g/4g fringe area.

There is an option to save your maps for offline use.

Copilot is an app I use, but there are many others. You can pay anywhere from 10$-50$ depending on quality. I find copilot is a good mix of price, performance, quality. It's only been wrong twice in the few years I've used it.
I also use locus maps pro for my backwoods hiking and tracking.
