Since I couldn't get my wife a nexus s with the upgrade. I decided to go with the vibrant 4g.

I'm also interested in the g2x. I work in the wireless industry and I got a chance to play with it and its amazing. Only issue is.....what's the resale value of the ns.

G2X no doubt. It has everything I've been looking for in a phone. Vanilla Android for faster update, nVidia Tegra 2 for exclusive games, HDMI mirroring and a good camera with flash.

G2 was said to be "stock" Android but it was nothing like stock. It looks like stock, but it's not 100% stock.
But have fun.

I think you should wait for Galaxy S 2.
The G2x is simply not worth it, its so bugged :S
I'll never touch that thing again...

I got the G2x... my wife got the new Samsung 4G... both are so awesome!
The 2Gx is faster since it has the dual cores... but either way, you'll love it. Go for the G2x tho if you're a gamer.
I just got the G2X and love it, I have the Vibrant T959 and then the Galaxy S 4G T959V (too many variance in names for the Galaxy S, Vibrant - sure you know can understand). Anyways not even rooted yest the G2X is an awesome phone! If I didn't get that I would have seriously gotten the 1st Vibrant T-Mobile came out with but not being 4G would have sucked but for the moment I would have been pleased.
Hope I didn't make anyone mad or offend anyone either. As you can see I did keep the T959V (4G) just to try to see if I could learn on how to improve it and help add to the positive and not negative. Hope that counts for something when reading this.

Then you should totally go with the G2X. I was disappointed with not having the internal extra memory and capabilities that go along with that and in fact was going to return the 4g but kept it and then got the G2X on Saturday, haven't even rooted it yet or really played on it and love it!
It's fun to because it is a totally different setup being LG and the 4g is to a naked eye JUST LIKE the Vibrant 3g without the space and internal memory features.
Post what you decided on and let me know what you think. You can always get the 4g to be sure and then return it. You will know the day you get it if you want it or not coming for the T959. Let me know what you do, I'm curious if it was just me or anyone else who did the same (thinking it was an upgrade) and was really disappointed with it. I didn't plan on buying it, just a impulse purchase I am so bad with those.
Do not regret for a moment the 2nd impulse purchase for a phone I don't even really need which was the G2X, that phone is awesome and there is a lot already out there for it (including flashing CWM). Good luck.

Hey guys. I'm strongly considering getting rid of my inspire on at&t in favor of the nexus S. I'm looking for fast and reliable in nyc without lte so I'm drawn to this device. I also like cm7 support. Unfortunately, my time with the captivate has left a bad taste in my mouth towards Samsung. Before I make the switch I was wondering if you guys had any advice for me. If the reviews aren't so great I may consider the droid charge as well even though its lte and will likely not have cm support. I've just had enough with at&t. What do you guys think?
Thanks in advance!

i don't understand. The Nexus S is already out, so you can buy it for T-Mobile, Sprint or AT&T (unofficially). There's nothing new to review here.
Pick a carrier, then pick a phone. The Nexus S is going to be on all BUT Verizon.

I think the Nexus 4G is awesome. If you get it, you don't have to worry about upgrading OS, etc. Nexus One and now Nexus S are absolutely terrific for getting the pure Google experience, which I think is waaay better than anything else.
That's what I was thinking. I like the updates from Google and I love Vanilla. I think it will be the perfect mate to my xoom. This weekend I'm going to make it to a sprint store and take it for a spin...

I would recommend picking up this device, I picked it up this past weekend and WOW! The first day I was kinda on the fence about it, but after a couple of days with it, my Epic seems like a slug!
The GPS locks on in less than 3 seconds, unlike 3 minutes for the Epic, which is nice.
I'd say go for it!

yea i definitely would. i went from Atrix to Nexus S on AT&T and it's just NICE having the latest OS.

I feel your pain with the epic. My captivate was just as bad. The inspire is just as good with GPS locks but again the web speed is terrible. Good to see there are no major issues with the nexus s.

Its funny but the GPS for the T-mobile nexus S I bought from Bestbuy had horrible GPS lock times that made me not want to spend the money on the At&t version. I even updated it to 2.3.4 and still dint see a difference. I didn't get to root the phone to try out roms but I'm afraid to spend the money and have the GPS not work for me. By putting a custom rom do you guys find the GPS lock time better? I don't know if I should just wait for the Galaxy SII or just get the nexus s since I did love the size of it and overall feel.. decisions decisions... lol
Yes its a good choice to get the Nexus S on Sprint's network. Cheaper plans than Verizon. Plus, Nexus is a pretty sweet phone. Fast and a wonderful screen.

Sorry this is general chit chat but I went to best buy to get my nexus and had cm7 on my evo. Here is the deal:
Me:evo getting nexus s
wife:evo
son:bb tour getting my evo
When they did the swap on the lines my evo with cm7 wasn't working so my son handed it to the salesman w/out me knowing about it. And the salesman was practically jumping saying how did you get 2.3 when its not even released? I was red in the face and told my wife why did he give that to him. I got home put .ruu on it and fixed it for him. WOW never again will i give a salesman a rooted cell; well actually my son did. What an experience. I love my nexus s but starting to want the 3d now.

I have the Evo, the 3D, and the Nexus S 4G. The 3D has a better screen (yes, actually better than AMOLED! More accurate colors, no blue-tint, and brighter) and is dual-core and 1.2 GHz and has double the RAM. It feels just as snappy as the NS4G. I'd say stick with the NS4G until they root the 3D, unless you love Sense.
The Evo is kind of like a Nexus One, a ton of ROMs and mods.

It got it very recently so the idiot salesman probably didn't know about the update. Also, he probably was baffled by lack of Sense.

from price point its a good deal as long as you could make sure ... everything works.
from xda point of view I guess this phone is among the few that got most attention from devs so there is a lot of custom FW available for this little phone.
out of curiosity ... why do you want to buy an older device?
I am sure you have your reasons ... but anyways ... just asking
It's for my lady she played with a galaxy s 4g in a t-mobile store and liked it. she still has a nokia 5800 lol haven't heard back from the person, so... found a galaxy s 4g for $75 lol waiting to hear back as well.
Xda gave the phone gingerbread but that is where it ends. No cm7 no miui. Truthfully, this phone is not getting the support.
Good news is that this phone is a great phone and at that price is worth it.

Why not get the Galaxy Nexus already?
If T-Mobile didn't have such good customer service and cheap plans I would of cancelled a long time ago. We always seem to get the short end of the stick.
Guess what's gonna happen when this is released. Even less development, that's what. Grrrr.

The most puzzling thing is that it has the same specs as the T-Mobile Galaxy SII, but is branded as a Galaxy S device.
I'm sorry but as valid as these responses get thus is ridiculous. Just return the phone and wait if it bothers you so much. This phone prob won't be out for another six months. By then when you buy it some "better" phone will be announced. What are you hoping to buy that is future proof?

Yeah, this one should come with ICS since there is no Nexus yet, but of course it won't.
Like previous post it has the same specs, but this one will probably have an HD screen on it. #lame
I doubt this will be out in six months, I'm guessing Feb/March.

It seems to me like this is a dumbed down version of the GSII. First of all they are calling it a "Galaxy S" instead of Galaxy S II, and the screen is called "Super Amoled", but not Super Amoled Plus or HD.

Samsung probably figured out how to fix our screen issues with the lines and blotches and decided that instead of admitting fault and having to fix all the sold phones with the issue they could just release a new model with no issues and a better res to make money instead of losing it... guess ill probably wait for the galaxy s3 hd blaze... n this whole galaxy fiasco is starting to remind me of the iphone adding a letter or number to the end without really even upgrading anything in the phone

Thanks. I appreciate your comments. I will still be around lurking and sharing my knowledge where I can. I just wanted to use another carrier over here and my G2X would only get Edge data as their 3/4G is on 850Mhz, the same as AT&T. My new phone is a second hand Atrix 2 but the bootloader is locked so CWM cannot be installed to the physical recovery partition. I had it for two months before I even rooted it. It is now rooted and has a bootstrap version of CWM recovery on it so i can back it up, but I think that is as far as I am going to go with it and keep it pretty much stock for now. Moto promised ICS in the 3rd quarter for it. I will see if they keep their word.
If someone is stuck and there is a way to help with the G2X I will still chime in if I am able.

It seems to perform better than the G2X. It has a TI Omap processor at the same speed of the G2X. It has a higher resolution screen and better color reproduction. The G2X tends towards red (all white on the G2X has a red tinit to it). When I go to applications or other similar settings there is less lag than the G2X had. They are both good phones but I do find I prefer the Atrix 2 over the G2X. Also, for some reason, most of the bloatware is surprisingly removable as it is installed as user apps and not system apps.

It was my wife who noticed it. I tried giving her the G2X to upgrade from the Nexus One I gave her. She told me she did not like the red tint and gave me the phone back. She wanted to keep the Nexus One even though the G2X performs better. I never noticed it until she brought it also. The Nexus One's color balance is basically perfect (white is white) while the Atrix tends toward slightly blue and the G2X tends toward red.
