Does anybody know when this phone is going to be released and on what carrier? Im in the US and i have T-Mobile. I was looking at it and its specs and its absolutely amazing i was hoping its going to be realeased relatively soon and on T-Mobile or AT&t so i could just unlock it and comparing to how easy it was to root the g2x i hope it will be just as easy. So does anybody know when its releasing and on what carrier? Thanks in advance

The T-Mobile G2 is the HTC Hero. I think the MyTouch is the HTC Magic.
i thought tmbile wasnt getting the hero? i guess i was wrong...any news on release?
T-Mobile UK have the Hero - The G2 Touch - I have one. I don't know if T-Mobile US are getting it. Someone else may know.
Hey everyone! I'm new to XDA and android and could use some help. Been looking for my first android phone and am currently living in the dominican republic. My carrier operates on the 850 band for their 3g network. I need to be able to purchase an unlocked phone or a phone off contract that i can unlock without complications. Some phones i have looked into are Nexus S, Desire HD, Atrix, G2x and a few others. Nexus S doesnt work with my carrier for their 3g and the desire hd lacks a front facing camera.
I could really use some help or guidance in finding the right phone... All your help is greatly appreciated. Have posted in a few other forums, but to not much avail. Thanks again everyone!
The Galaxy 4g phone has 850 band and FFC and is a decent choice. I do not know how good the Coverage of 4g is in Dominican so even though it is a great phone you may only have 3g reception. You could get a Galaxy S phone and install a FFC in it(or buy it that way) would save some money but it is older tech .... .........BUT there is a ALOT of support here in XDA for the Galaxy S. And there is multi language already installed in it.Or you could wait until the New S2 makes it here in June sometime.
If you went with a Galaxy S (Vibrant,Captivate, etc) here in the states you can get for about 175-250.00 right now vs 450-550.00 for a new phone.
So, there are some options. I would stay away from the Atrix, Motorola is not hacker friendly and there are some other quality issues about them I am not convinced it is worth the money.
BTW, Welcome to the forum. This is the best place to be to learn about Android phones. Look at the specific phone forums and read up. This will assist in understanding the phone and help you make a more informed decision.
Good Luck in your quest....... Cheers
Thanks for the helpful info. I have been reading up on the forums and have also heard about the Atrix issues.
As for the Galaxy S, I do like that phone, but as you mentioned, it does have some older tech especially compared to what is being released this month and next. I don't mind paying a little more having a more up to date phone. Hence my hesitation with something like the Desire HD or Inspire and it's lack of a FFC.
As for the network here, no 4g yet. One of the carriers "Orange" is looking into it, but wouldnt be for a while. Also, I'm quite exactly how much longer I'll be here.
Desperate to get a phone and was hoping to do it this week while my friend in back in the US and could pick it up for me so that I dont have to pay the rediculous taxes at customs when ordering electronics.
The G2X is looking like an option, but i dont know about unlocked nor exactly how much at this point. This is proving to be more difficult that i imagined, been at it for a few months now. Who would think that with so many choices there would actually be so few choices!
Any continued help is still greatly appreciated! thanks again!
The Tmo bands for 4G are 1700/2100, correct?
Would this work on 4G on Tmo USA?
http://www.wirelessgoodness.com/201...a-nexus-prime-for-690-from-negri-electronics/
This would certainly be anyone's guess. But would anyone be willing to give their best guess as to when Tmo would come out, if at all, and if this would be before?
Thank You

Thank you in advance. I heard from a place in UK that the unlocked version comes out the week of 11/7
I would love to get but i am hearing that if I get a discount especially, the SGS2 is better hardware wise and in several months will probably have ICS?
Thoughts on that with whether it unlocked will work on Tmobile AND then also ATT if and only if the merger happens.

I would say get the g2x for USA connection-wise, although the o2x has more of a development base and we g2x'rs just get everything ported eventually to us. This line is pretty awesome (if you can deal with little quirk here and there). AS for what dev is better.... thats nonsense. Every dev has something to contribute and without most of them we wouldnt be were we are today with our phones.

The phone version you need depends on which cell service provider you have a plan with. The G2X and Optimus 2X (except for the Canadian Optimus 2X which is a G2X) work exclusively on different networks. First, decide which network you are going to sign up for then pick the appropriate phone version.
I agree with the above, but take into account what you want, and how much you have to spend. Where you are located is really important to determine connectivity.
After having played with the G2x for 5 months now, I'd advise someone to spend their money elsewhere, imo. If you can get it for cheap, no brainer.
Dev support is practically a chain. International O2x's gets the goodies first, while we get the end of the stick.
Also make sure you understand that the G2x Does not have an FM Radio.. Just in case you need that. Optimus 2x Seems to have a working FM radio while I've heard ours is disconnected by hardware.
hi
I love the look of this phone...I currently have the Sony Xperia Pro and this phone is a step up, memory and processor wise....
However I am nervous that if I buy one on ebay that maybe it will be incompatible with Rogers, just wondering if any clever OR knowledgeable soul with first hand experience would know if this will work on the Rogers network in Canada?
Any replies will be very much appreciated thank you
No problem at all, you can completely unlock your future phone using this. Worked for me in Germany.
I'm using one in Canada on the Wind network. It's working great.
