I just started a new contract with T-Mo Tuesday night, and got the Galaxy S 4G for free. (It was a one night special!) It seems like a solid phone, and my only complaints so far are the low internal memory (which I understand can largely be fixed by rooting and moving apps to the SD) and the occasional sluggishness. I'm also a little worried about upgrades of the OS, as I've heard some bad things about Samsung in this regard.
How big a difference would I see with the G2X? Is it worth the possible extra $200 I'd have to shell out to get it, considering I got the SGS4G for free?

as a previous VIBRANT and SGS4G owner i will tell you GET IT!
dual core>single
1080p camera/mirrioring>****ty 4g no flash camera
DIVEX!
there are many more
do research before you buy but YES it is a upgrade its the top phone to buy right now (till the SGS2 comes out)
and if you still got your 14days to exchange it do it! (if you still are in your 14 day grace period you WILL NOT have to pay a xtra 200 bucks! just pm me and ill tell you more!)
and if you dont like it im sure you can sell on ebay for close to 400-500 bucks!
(i hated the fact that the vibrant had 16GB internal memory but the 4G did not so i also switched it for the G2x....)
good luck and hope i helped!
Its not worth the $200. I have only used one in the store, but i would hardly call it a quantum leap in terms of features or speed.
Spend the $200 on a used tablet instead

You may have gotten the phone for free, but its still a 2-year contract. A 2 year contract on a phone that is basically a vibrant with 4g and ffc that came out July 2010. In my opinion I would get a phone that is newer technology. I love my vibrant a lot and its a fantastic device, but I would not however sign up for a 2-year contract on a 9 month old phone. If you do not change phones often then free isnt a bad thing at all, just wish it was newer. My 0.2 cents
The 2-year contract is what is making me consider the switch, even if I do have to shell out some cash to do so. (I EXPECTED to have to spend money up front, just caught a break on that SGS4G deal.)

I understand. I mean a free phone is always awesome lol, just hard to push contract on 9month old phone into my head. I go through 2-3 phones a year so I always buy mine outright, but that isnt an option for everyone. The SGS4g is a great device and still impressive with a custom rom on it. Cheers

You wont have to shell out any more money since you are still under 14 days. Just go to the store with a reciept and the phone and ask for an exchange. Unfortunately ive had my galaxy s 4g since launch so im pretty much SCREWED.

I think he will have to shell out 199 for the G2X vs the FREE for the Vibrant4G thats with 2 Year Contract.
And yeah I would take the Vibrant4G back and pay the 199 and get the G2X. You could also use the Equipment Installment Plan and only pay like $50 I think. and then 50 or 100 a month untill the 199 is payed off.
The Vibrant was free but like said before is about a year old vs something that is brand new. If Im going to sign a 2 year contract might as well get the latest and best because without the 2 year contract your looking at 499.
The G2X also doesn't feel like it'll break if you look at it wrong.
Possible solutiom
Look for my thread in the G2X forums, it has info you may be interested in. Sorry I cant post link, i'm using my cell for this reply.
Actually, it's the Galaxy S 4G I got for free, not the Vibrant. I think it is working out for me because there were other issues with my account surrounding my plan based on what I was told versus what I was actually going to be charged. Basically, I've been getting the runaround on a few things, have been getting miffed, and I think they are trying to make me happy at this point.

did you know you can sell a vibrant on ebay for like250 bucks... and a SGS4G for like 300+... why wouldnt you just sell the phone and tell them to give you a free upgrade or your gonna cancel service... and if they ask why you want a free upgrade tell them your vibrant/SGS4G got stolen and you need a new phone... or make something up...

Depending on how fast he trying to sale his Vibrant4G/GalaxyS4G you can get it gone quick on craigslist.
200-250 Will get it sold day one especially if you put it up on a Thursday/Friday
300-350 Might take a min to sale on craigslist but should deffinetly sale.
Then come out of pocket around 200-250 and get the G2X

i can confirm i sold a vibrant for 200 on craigs list within a day
bought a 150 gallon tank from my friend for my male and female ball python

I would stay away from SGS 4G if I was you because the application storage is too low for me.
G2x, on the other hand, has nearly 2GB for applications which is necessary for games (and newer applications take up to 50MB).

It is not as hard as you think, all you need do is read the threads and take your time, I rooted a long time ago when bubby first did the one click, since then he has made it less complicated, the hardest part most are having is making a gold card, just take your time and you will do fine. I am rooted and am running Core Droid Gingerbread rom and have no sign of AT&T left on my phone. It is great, give it a try!!!! You can do it, the only thing holding you back is you!!!

Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA Premium App
I got better than that from AT&T directly. Free phone, no shipping, no activation, 2 yr contract extension, early-upgrade. Granted I've been with AT&T since 1999 and I give them a decent chunk of my paycheck every month.
You just have to be patient with them, be willing to stay on hold for a bit, ask for a supervisor, and remember a few key phrases: "Long time customer..." "Pay bills on time..." "Been loyal through Iphoney induced network problems..." "Other carriers offering better equipment, and with contract expiring soon..."
That has always worked for me. The phones aren't always free, but I've always gotten a better deal than the normal upgrade price. At the very least the rebate price without dealing with the rebate. I've even gotten an upgrade price on an equipment replacement without contract extension.
Not sure if there are specific guidelines they use as far as longevity, monthly service charge, etc. You just have to be polite and insistant, and companies will generally give you what you want to keep you as a happy customer, AT&T included.
woww that is a deal and a half))my son just came home from school and he said his buddy told him that more people are bricking their phones when they try rooting... but then what does a kid know)))
They have it marked down to a penny if you buy it online with two year upgrade.

any way to make AT&T match this deal? The wife just paid 99 bucks for hers when I added a line last week.
shoot I'd just pay the restocking fee, and then buy from costco and it would still be cheaper. I am not sure att will match it though. I know you can't buy it out of contract Online. I was looking to see what they would charge maybe get my wife one so she can get away from her captivate.
I got mine free from radio shack and I was expecting to pay For it. Don't know how I get it free though
I got my Inspire from Costco about two weeks ago, and then upgraded one of my kids to one last week as well -- took advantage of that Costco deal! And no, AT&T could care less about price matching.
I rooted both of our phones last night. Read more than I did before I flashed my Tilt 2, but after my kid said just watch the Youtube video, I was ready. LOTS and lots of steps, but his rooted exactly as advertised. I did the same steps to mine, got hung up on the final step (pushing the new ROM back to the phone) but found a post in @bubby's thread about the same issue; I manually copied the image to my SD card and entered the bootloader, and now my Inspire is rooted as well.
Lots of great deals out there, BTW. Look at Cartoys and Radio Shack; the Costco deal ends pretty soon.
i got mine from Costco, i only paid the tax and an upgrade fee which will show up on my att bill. id say i came out on top
I just checked ... price is 1 cent now with a 2 yr extension. May have to go to KC!!
I too got mine from Costco for a penny! :-D According to tracking, I'll have it Wednesday. And then...we root! :-D
On a sidenote... I only agree with one line on here. "However now more then ever who you get on the other end of that line MATTERS." ...Unfortunately, this is true. I am a Level 2 technical support agent for Philips Electronics. If you catch an agent on a bad day, then don't expect much. HOWEVER... I personally try to remain fair... If you call me and ask for support, you BETTER be nice. If you are a jerk, yell, cuss, racist, etc...YOU GET NOTHING!
I deal with all walks of people on a daily basis. Kindness is key. It also helps to know how to speak and speak properly.. "Key phrases" mean nothing to me. But that's just me. It's all about the attitude. If you are nice, I'm willing to GIVE you almost anything. If you are an A$$hole...well...you get the idea.
One final note...It DOES NOT matter what nationality you or the tech support rep are. One of the nicest people I have ever met is this guy that sits beside me at work. He is 100% Irish, and hates the world. But again...if you are nice, he will give you whatever you are asking for.

I have an Atrix, not worth it at all... Even with the Dual Proc and Laptop dock. Call quality sucks, signal sucks and worst of all, it seems like they took someone's custom ROM (Alpha Build) and released it (get Aqua/Robot Voice at times) and instability so they have to make a fix for it and THEN wait for AT&T to release it...
Thanks, but no... not at all worth it.
The Inspire though? Yeah, worth way more. I paid full price for mine (no upgrade available on any of the 5 lines... )
I got my Inspire from Costco for $19.99. It did not take too long either. They also gave me a free car charger, head set, and leather case.
On a side note: I don't like ordering things like phones (Atrix) or laptops(Asus) online because if their is a problem with it takes week to get there and get back to you.

How much off contract and from where?
I tried buying it though Costco online but I wont let me keep my grandfathered unlimited data plan. I still cant decide whether to use my upgrade or buy it off contract.
I've been seeing lately that its now $79, and as a CostCo Member, its as low as $50 on a two year contract. Its still a great price.
Staples has it for $50, verified as of yesterday.

I'm sorry but with all the problems this phone has against it (similar to the Vibrant): Overheating, Shotty Network/Data Connections, Reboots, Lock-ups it seems like T-Mobile is readying for another magic trick. Granted, from what I've gathered reading these forums certain problems (mentioned above) could be completely unrelated. I personally feel that the poorly tinkered network/data connect software T-Mobile f***ed into this phone coupled with the completely separate battery issues are reeking havoc on the phones in a variety of ways.
Just a thought.
As a past Vibrant user (unfortunately) I felt compelled to report the similarities arising again... and all the Vibrant base got [after their woes] was a ****ty Froyo update and the Samsung Galaxy S 4G releasing swiftly via T-Mobile.
I really thought the Vibrant must've been a fluke for T-Mobile, as it was my first leap into the smartphone & Android markets (came from a flip phone, no txts or data). Seems I was wrong in my judgement for trusting them with a second/different product. Don't get me wrong... This phone is great (in theory) but so far it is dragging with bugs and this leaves me torn... =/
Your looking into it way way to much..... All phones on tmobile go on a quick sale... I bought a vibrant for 250 starting my contract in august.... a month later I buy one for a add a line for my brother for 50 bucks..... Its just the tmobile way... A droid x is still 200 in my area.... And a epic 4g is 150

Hm... perhaps. I'll think it over a nice bowl to cool the thoughts down a bit lol, 4:20 is coming a little early this morning I suppose.
I guess I just want a phone that works [ultimately]... Seems like the T-Mobile way is to release half-assed, beta quality products (at least in these eyes, I understand experiences vary). I went along thinking T-Mobile was a great company until I jumped on the Android bandwagon. Guess one can't get too butt-hurt over a company acting as soulless as they do sometimes... it's in their nature. =/
Coming from a vibrant I see where u are coming from. It was the biggest pile of a phone I have ever had. It was also my first android experience after being an avid bb user.
I do see some short comings in my g2x but I hope things don't get bad. I also despise Samsung as a company and blame the vibrant fails on them. It seems ateast to me they push a product hard and never support it. They did the same thing on a TV I bought. After there lack of support on the vibrant I will never own another Samsung product. I just hope the g2x is not the same way.

I respect your point of view but I disagree with you.
I come from a Galaxy S 4G and this phone is way better and faster.
If you are experiencing those kind of issues, I would advise you to exchange it. I haven't really experience those kind of issues and the only real problem to me has been data disconnecting.
Now that I have flashed many ROM's I have come to the conclusion that EB 1.04 is the best and not many disconnections since I settle.

Oh well I guess thats not so bad.
This is always the case with phones through places like Walmart and Amazon.
So i'm trying to decide on a new phone. i have an upgrade available on my main line. I don't want to shell out $200-300 for a new phone, but Verizon has CPO (basically refurbished) Droid Charges listed at $50. My current Eros is a refurb and is better than the original i originally received. Anyone else tried a CPO Charge and if so what was your experience?

At this point I would wait for the Nexus.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda premium
I think a lot of people here got CLNR (certified like new replacements, refurbs basically) Charges in the Fascinate swap fiasco... speaking for myself yes it has worked flawlessly aside from the data dropping occasionally (and annoyingly) which has been pretty much fixed with EP3H build and higher radios, it always flashes correctly, never borked it doing anything, and the screen looks as great as when I first got it
so yeah if you're looking for a nice 4G phone (that I would say needed heavy tweaking to work right on Froyo, but the new GB OTA seems to be pretty solid) and don't wanna wait for the Nexus or shell out for a newer model if you can get a Charge for $50 its a steal

I love my Charge. It seems pretty unpopular with the phone community, but I don't quite see why. The screen alone makes it worth having. Little features like the HDMI out and from facing camera make it a great phone.
I will admit, stock Froyo was TERRIBLE! Don't get a Charge unless you are going to install a custom ROM with lagfix. But when overclocked the Charge is a beast!
Since you're looking for VALUE, I'd say $50 for a Charge would be an awesome deal. Just know getting into it, that we don't have a huge dev community. Also, a lot of our current devs are leaving (imoseyon changed jobs and is losing his Charge and imnuts has only pledged support for the Charge for the next few months, since he is getting a Nexus).
Check Amazonwireless.com where Charges are free for new lines, maybe even existing lines as well.
I seriously don't know why people would buy anywhere else. The new Nexus will probably be cheaper there as well. Eventually you will be able to get a free Galaxy Nexus there.
When Charges were 300 bucks each, I got mine for $150 each (they were $200 on Amazonwireless, but then they dropped them to $150 a week later, I called and they honored their new price for me.)

People don't buy elsewhere for many reasons, one of them is the fine print. Should you cancel your plan, you have a double ETF. Also, some VZW corporate stores will not help you if there is an issue and you didn't buy the device from them. The biggest reason I wouldn't buy it from Amazon or many other 3rd parties is the added ETF, and the odds of them screwing up my account are much higher, like changing my insurance or data plan.

Keep dreaming. They just rolled out GB update the other day. IF the Charge sees an official ICS release, it is still months away, and I would guess after the Nexus comes, so there is no point whatsoever.
Yeah, i'm not really expecting OFFICIAL support, but hopefully some of the devs will pick up the torch.

regardless of the size of the dev community its still a nice phone... battery life is decent, screen is awesome, its not too heavy or thick, camera is pretty darn good plus I foresee a lot of people picking up Charges and other older-gen 4G phones when the Nexus drops (hopefully some devs/themers) and eBay/craigslist gets flooded... that said we have a good group of dedicated, albeit small in number, devs and themers that even now still put up with us and update constantly lol

Fun little secret: Most of the CLNR Charges sent out in the Fascinate swap were new retail packages with a CLNR sticker pasted over the original.
got mine as a CPO back in late August/Early September.
also got my wife the iPhone. my Charge has been great thus far - especially with the help of these fine folks here on XDA and Chargeforums.com, I've been able to get the most out of it - so it really won't matter if you get a CPO. the warranty is still the same....

ebay for sure. should get around $150 for my infuse, and thatll cover the cost of my one X
If I decide to get the One X I will either sell my iPhone 4 on Craigslist or trade it in for credit at Amazon.

+1 My Sensation along with the case, back covers, batteries and box will all be hitting eBay in one big sale. Now to convince people some dust under the screen and a broken headphone jack aren't a big deal...
probably selling my sprint iphone 4s on ebay, or craigslist not sure..
Ebay
Ebay is gonna get my old iPhone 4. Average sale of iPhone 4 is ~$275 and One X is $149 + $36 activation fee, so I end up making money on the device itself! (excluding the subsidized contract :/ )
i sold my captivate a long time ago lol was using dads backup blackberry. so buying the phone is gonna hit my account 150 bucks hard
Craigslist
Im going to sell my 16GB iPhone 4 on Craigslist for $215
I'm amazed at the number of people that are coming from iPhones to the hox makes me think it's really a kick ass phone because most of the people I know who have iPhones swear by them. Glad to see so many converting to the Droid side

There's no 4G on wind. Plus, I'd stay away from this phone. Get the nexus or the HTC.

I love this phone, but took a lot of hassle/reading to make it work the way it supposed to.
So, if you're eligible for wind tab (which is not that easy with there credit check expectations) why don't you go Galaxy Nexus? I'm not too sure about the current price, though.

If i select $199 on WINDtab on $40 plan for Galaxy Nexus, how many months do i have to pay $40 so can i pay $40 for 1 month then change to $25 ? And is this case for 3 years agreement ?

Honestly, I don't know exactly how it is working with the tab. I assume they deduct a certain percentage from your monthly charges toward the price of the device, so eventually you will come to zero if you gonna stick with them long enough. There is no such a thing as 3 years term with wind, you pretty much contract free. Give them a buzz, they will explain, especially when it comes to changing plans.

If you want a brand new device for wind, I wouldn't get the g2x at this point especially from wind cuz their prices are marked up. Just add a little bit of cash and get the $399 galaxy nexus someone posted a deal for here. If u can't spent that much money then u can find a used g2x on kijiji/eBay for around $200. Also, there's gonna be the g4x from tmo that's gonna be compatible with wind but I wouldn't buy LG at this point cuz the g2x was enough. Not that they are totally assholes, I think its just that they can't make good software for their hardware. Its up to u of course, but I think getting a g2x used wouldn't be such a bad deal. Maybe even get one with a broken digitizer for dirt cheap and just fix it if u like a challenge. Believe it or not some people are really that clueless. A friend of mine bought an iPhone 4 from some old Guy for a $100 cuz the man didn't know/didn't wanna go through the hassles of fixing it.
Whatever u do don't get the phone new from wind unless u like paying top price for obsolete technology. I mean it can still stay on par with today's phones performance wise but not in screen size/amount of(unnecessary) cores. Let us know your choice

i am looking for a phone that around $100 cash + $25 monthly for plan. the brand and company doesn't matter for me . I dont want to used phone because I am new in Canada... it is hard to fix for me right now.
i wont buy lg optimus 2x P999 in this situation..
Well if ur new in Canada then I guess you don't have credit history, and as far as I know wind doesn't give out tabs to people who can't give some kind of credit history and proof that they have income. Thing is, you wont find a g2x for $100 unless something is wrong with it. Even if u do get windtab, you will still have to pay out the full price which is like $300-$400 and it would come in like $3-$5 each month on top of your regular bill. So in a year or two, if you are still with wind you will still be paying out the full price of the phone, might as well drop another hundred and buy the phone outright.. just some advice on what I would do...

There's other androids that work with wind/mobilicity. They include: Nexus One, Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus, T-Mobile sensation, T-Mobile gs2, g2(HTC desire or something) also g1 which falls in your price range lol

I love this phone but if money isn't an issue for you I would choose the galaxy nexus. Its a newer phone and it is very nice. The g2x is a great phone though! I love mine.

That's not true. The wind tab does not add anything to your monthly bill. It takes 5% from each payment and puts it towards your tab. You can pay your tab off three ways 1) your monthly 5%s pay off your tab 2) you wait 3 years and wind pays it for you or 3) you get tired of your phone so you pay off the remaining balance before your 3 years are up.
If you can get the tab it's well worth it. Because you're guaranteed to at least pay less than what you would've had to if you bought it out right and brand new

Yup, and at the end you are left with less money than if you just bought the phone.
