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.
...on my sons brand new htc sensation! I had a g1 before I picked up the vibrant last July. COMPLETELY forgot how fast and accurate htc's gps is. I'm in my house and it follows me around within approximately 10 feet. The vibrant on the other hand STILL takes forever to find a sat and then I'm lucky if it's within 50 feet. No contest.
The only strong point of samsung is the "vibrant" screen. But, it kills battery life and the qhd on the sensation is sharper even if not as vibrant.
That's my review. Goodbye samsung. Then again I won't upgrade for a year, so who knows!
But, so far, HTC is my next.
Maybe I missed where this thread was relevant to this forum?

Exactly! I've been trying to justify a tablet and for me it just doesn't make sense. Anything I want to do that requires a bigger screen (than 4/4+ inches) I'd also want a keyboard. So, yeah, I kinda don't get the tablet craze.

I flashed EDT with gps fix and voodoo and I get accurate locks very quickly. Everything else is working fine too, no problems at all. So while the problem is known, so is the solution.
I really think samsung screwed the gps hardware up....
Some people's wont work no matter what they do
Fortunately for me, all 3 vibrants I've had the gps has worked pretty accuarately and I get a quick lock.
UNfortunately that was not the case out of the box. Thanks to this community though, the gps works. Period.

I agree with you, though, HTC is the best brand of smartphone in the world.
@Martylk hey man screw you! Samsung is a great, quality brand. They make awesome hardware and there is nothing wrong with koreans. Maybe you should get off of htcs n**s. I have a mt4g and really like HTC but will definitely consider a Samsung or LG device. There's nothing wrong with those brands HTC also has their own sets of problems as does every brand so get off of your high horse.

+1 I have had ZERO Problems with GPS (like that is really all that important) on my Vibrant
HTC has the same battery performance as all other smartphones, So not sure why the op brought that up, I get right now 15 hrs ( if my daughter plays on it) and 30 hrs if i can keep her off it.
I too, am waiting for the hercules......can't wait !
Im sure that my galaxy tab and wildfire are just as good as each other for gps

I can say after owning it for only 24 hours so far it is a blast. I haven't had any problems. There was one instance where the data stalled, but it hasn't lagged or reboot, or even heat up since I have had it on. Been running great for me!

It only takes one grain of sand ( quartz ) in your pocket to scratch it. More of an unlucky thing than a failure of the gorilla glass .
None of those problems here.

The data lag that you're referring to is an issue. Exchanging your phone will not resolve it. I found a fix (at least it works for the most part) that I posted in the developer section. As for the other problems you named, I'm not having any of those issues.

I despise walmart but I found humor in what you wrote. So you're saying that Walmart opens the devices and fudges them up, then sends them out "all whack yo"? You don't think it's more likely that it was just a bad device? The real reason why wally world can sell them so cheap is because it's bait to get you inside the store. Once inside, you're likely to do your shopping there and hence Walmart turns a profit. Most of these other retailers sell it at almost cost and make their money on screen protectors, and cases.
Hey all,
I have a Thunderbolt that I got the day before they killed unlimited data, and I have had so much trouble with it. Long story short, they have offered me a Razr or a Rezound as a replacemet. I'm much more interested in the Nexus, but they say that Nexus's discount codes are avalible yet.
So I don't really love the idea of waiting for 4 months for ICS on the Razr, not having a replacable battery, and huge bezels. And the Rezound is interesting, and feels a lot faster and smoother than the Razr, but after my experience with the Thunderbolt, not sure I am totally ready to go back. And I guess the most important thing is that the dev community will be much more focused on the Nexus, which coumpounds the ICS wait
Sent from my ADR6400L using xda premium
I had a Tbolt longer than all the other phones I had, which by the way makes 15 to date. The Tbolt with CM 7 is an unstoppable force. I have the Galaxy Nexus and its cool, but the Tbolt is still faster ATM and rock solid.
Don't judge a phone by it's stockness, Rzr is moto and moto is locked down. Take it back and get the Nexus.
You said yourself they will not replace your Thunderbolt with the just released Nexus. So either take a replacement or keep the Thunderbolt.
Sent from my HTC ThunderBolt using xda premium
Why not ask for a new out of the box thunderbolt? Not a refurbished one.
Did you ever get this? I had a Verizon rep say they'd send me a Rezound but then their supervisor turned around and denied it. They said they could only send me a Charge or an LG Revolution since they were in the same class or something.

I was in the VZW store the other day looking at the galaxy, the guy that helped me said his wife has the galaxy and will be returning it cuz it gets horrible 4g (in salt lake anyway). He had the Rezound and said he loves it. Anyway, where do I get the cm7 ROM? Not trying to steel this thread

I was an Inspire owner too and I remember you used to rule that forum. I am shocked that you left for iPhone! I moved onto the Galaxy Nexus when it came out and sold off the Inspire. I had an upgrade available now so there is no way I could pass this phone up... I love the phone but do miss the stock feeling of Android 4.0 so now all I really need is Root and CM9!
I remember you from the Inspire forums. I switched to the Note then the Nexus, now I can upgrade and I may get the One X. Good to see people attempting iPhone and regretting it, so I don't have to. The reason I'm maybe thinking of the One X is the camera, I'm going on holiday and don't want to be stuck taking GNex quality shots along the coast of Italy lol.

Just left my international GSII for this bad boy. (The GSII was the best phone ever btw). Freaking loving the screen and the sick build quality. It's so much better than Samsung's crap plastic
I too took a detour through some Sammys (The other phone at home is always iP - a conscious decision that works well ), Great to be back to HTC.
SGS2 was great for that generation, but LTE/batt life sucked and was a bit clunky (I have large hands), so wasted no time in getting my H1X.

The GPS is why I ditched my Inspire. I do a lot of things that use the GPS (mapping / running / cycling). That GPS would not stay locked and would turn a 5 mile run into a 15 mile run with all of the zig zags it would add to my course. Great for the Ego, but a pain in the A$$ otherwise.
To Answer your question the HOX is lightning fast to lock and stays locked pretty well from what I can tell. I have not used it with a gps app other than google maps yet but I am happy with what i have seen so far.
