IF ANYONE HAS SPECIFIC QUESTION ABOUT THE PHONE I WILL TEST and make videos! if need be!

awesome bro!!

unboxing and a review vid please! Can't wait til i pick mine up from the store tomorrow. Congrats by the way.

Man I am so frustrated with T-Mobile right now. So did your order show up in UPS's system? If so, when? T-Mobile assures me that my order will be here today but its still not showing up on UPS.

You guys will be happy with this phone, I've been playing with it for a week now...no lags and I'm getting 6-8mbps in my area. I like it.

I did. T-mobile has no clue whats going on. The agent told me that I should receive it by the 25th. Then said because I got the txt I should receive it by the end of the day. So basically anytime between now and the 25th. :-(
As for UPS, did you talk to a live operator? I just said my tracking number into the phone.

I don't know why you couldn't just wait until Wednesday and walk into a store to buy one. All this headache just to maybe get it one day ahead of time is pointless.

Yea, I haven't been under contract with T-Mobile for 2 years and when I called them over the weekend to discuss this phone, they told me they would knock $100 off the price if I did a upgrade to extend my contact 2 years. I just can't stand the fact of being locked into any service provider for 2 years especially one that might not even exist in 1 year. I just upgrade my phone every 6 months by selling my old ones on EBAY. If you do it like this then you only end up paying $200 for new devices and never have to sign another contract.

Meh...
Got mine at noon. Just opened it but I still don't know how to feel about it. Feels...different. I had N1 NS and now G2x but there hasn't been any WOW moments yet...hopefully when i boot up NFS or Dungeon Defenders i'll be wowed, not putting my NS up for sale quite yet...

Same here I love UPS, N E way this thing is a MONSTA!!!! Keeping it short and sweet, I got a new toy two play wit

I ordered Friday at 10am online. Showed Monday delivery. Standard shipping.
Monday came and no UPS update. I called Tmobile and they said it was shipped Saturday. I called UPS and they said nothing was picked up. I called back to Tmo and they said it wasn't shipped because the phone wasn't due out until Wednesday and those were only pre-orders.
After I cancelled my online order over the phone, 20 minutes later UPS updated and showed it was scheduled for Tuesday delivery. I have it now.
UPS said that they don't pickup Ground packages until the next business day. So if anyone ordered with standard ground, it wasn't shipped out until last night. I live 1 hour away from where it was shipped hence why it might have been a speedy delivery.
I have it now and its awesome. I came from an N1. Finally Maps is working fully and 3D games are finally enjoyable.
I'd say if you don't have it by now, call and cancel the order and pick one up tomorrow at a store.

I just got my phone today and I have 1 bar of signal strength in a fairly populated city where I normally have good coverage. I've tried everything, even the wifi application, with a 50 MB download, all to no avail. Is there a way to force this thing to ride on AT&T? TMO's signal just isn't cutting it.

Newly produced G2x Today

Well, I've been cringing thinking about getting the G2x due to the large post with all the flaws etc. But after getting over it and going to the T-Mobile store in my area i just received a phone with a manufacture date of 4/29/11 and so far;
No LCD bleeding
No random reboots (as of yet)
No auto shut downs
No wifi issues
No reception issues
Battery life is great (first booted the phone, charged to 100%, then immediately did a factory reset)
So basically if you're interested in getting this phone, don't listen to all the hype (which almost got me to not get it)
Just make sure you're asking for the latest manufactured date.
(either the date has something to do with it, or i'm just 1 lucky son of a...)

Gilbert AZ?

i didnt have a problem with mine until a week i had it, i wish you best of luck and keep updating because i didnt notice those "bugs" till later.

Well this certainly sounds promising to me, as I'm on the waiting list for a replacement and the issues I've had occurred right off the bat. The backlight bleeding is getting worse though :/

Actually i live in gilbert, i picked the phone up in mesa

Which store? I have to referee out at the Field of Dreams tomorrow and I would not mind swinging by to see if they have any more of these pristine phones

It is at the fiesta mall area around alma school

Not to doubt you, but there's no physical way the phone could leave the production line in Korea, get to a shipping depot, make the trans-pacific trip, get to a T-Mobile distribution center in the U.S., and to a T-Mobile outlet in Arizona in four days.

It'd be interesting to see the dates of phones with bad LCD bleeding and issues.
Mine was made on 4/5/2011, going to exchange it before the 30 days for a newer one.

The phone has a one year warranty. You don't have to worry about the 30 days.

[Q] 4G in Huntsville, AL

I noticed on yesterday about 5pm, my Tbolt switched over to 4G for about an hour then went back to 3G I was getting around 15MB down and 3MB up testing it with various speed test. I also tested it with the Netflix app and in less that 5 seconds, the movie was streaming. Anybody else notice this in this HSV area?

Hey Huntsville buddy, I haven't had 4g turned on but you can be for damn sure I will right now. I'll post back if I see anything.

Alrighty....Just trying to spread some GOOD news for a change. Be sure to post again if I happen to get another glimpse of the "White Unicorn". LOL!!!

Dang I must have missed it. I guess you have to be looking at your phone at the right time. Although I live in Madison, but 4G should get to me right? But since I work in Huntsville maybe I will be able to at least enjoy 4G during the work hours.

I noticed it yesterday too. I guess they were doing some testing. My guess is perhaps they'll turn it on next week... Thursday? Regardless, at least we know they have 4G towers up in HSV. Now just a question of when they will turn it on permanently.

I live in Huntsville but it's basically Madison and also work in Madison. From what I understand it should extend out here also. I know that Montgomery's 4g supposedly extends to Troy and some other cities so there should be no way we don't see 4g in Madison also.

There hasn't been a press release so who knows when it goes live for real. I think I have my 4G off last night, I hope they flip the switch for a little bit this weekend.

Yeah I stopped by the VZW store on Uni dr. when I saw this yesterday and the REP said that once its turned on permenantly for this area, it will strech past Decatur. Im hoping this is the case since I live in Madison as well. He wouldn't give me a definiate time frame but he said it should be by the end of June.

By the end of June would be amazing. When I bought my Thunderbolt I honestly was thinking Fall at the earliest.

You know....I was thinking the exact same thing. Then I remembered that BHAM doesnt have it yet either. It seems like(at least in AL) that VZW in turning on 4G in reverse order rather than going from largest to smallest of bigger cities.

Yeah it does seem of how the bigger cities don't yet have it while we do. I'm not complaining mind you

I didn't notice 4g, but I'm on CM7 so who knows if I would have seen it. While I want 4g my battery wants it more.

So how's CM7? Been thinking about jumping the broom but with 4G so close, I want to be able to use it when its available.

I was on 4g on 565 at about 6:45 today. Did a quick speed check before I lost it, 6444kbps down 13542kbps up.

Battery life is still pretty bad, but over everything is working. Even got 4g today as you can see from my post above.

I thought I read a while back where I65 an us hwy 31 was supposed to get 4G coverage. If so, that would pretty much cover Cullman city. where I live. Any else heard this?

Yes Huntsville, AL will be getting 4G in about 30-45 days. So will decatur. Mobile and Montgomery already have it turned on. They have been testing the network in the are. My TB has been switching back and forth from 3-4g. I have customers come in the store asking this all week. It just around the corner!!!

Dang I keep missing the temporary 4G. Oh well I will be driving though Nashville soon, so I will get at for a little bit.

Had this phone about a week. Rooted with coredroid rom. I'm doing regular speed tests and im getting 1.2-2 mbps on average. Tonight i tried the 2nd apn and after a while i hit around 3. Am i missing something? Is att that lame? I'm coming from a captivate and i was getting those kind of speeds on it. I live in the philadelphia area so its not like i'm out in the woods.

In one word: yes. Some people can get 6-8. Normal is 2-3 for me, sometimes 4-6 really late at night.

Charge leads Huntsville, AL 4G!

Any Charge owners from Huntsville, AL?
Well, we have 4G now
I realized it was the 21st, being 2am, and decided to switch over to Auto/LTE to check, and it's up!
Curious as to others' speeds in the Huntsville area. I've only done a couple speed tests so far and got 7.88 // 6.20 at best. From what I've noticed, 4G can/should? be quite a bit better. However, I've also read that on the GB 2.3.4 leak there was some issues with 4G speed.. and that doing the speed test via the browser works correctly.. gonna try that.
Anyway, go Huntsville

We’ve actually had it all day on the 20th. It came a day early for some reason. But I looked at my phone at 12:15 AM on the 20th and it showed 4G. We got Netflix support on the Charge on the 20th as well. Netflix and 4G is an awesome combo.

Have you been getting similar dl/ul speeds?

I originally thought we were supposed to get it on the 16th, so I've had my settings set for it since then and it popped on sometime Tuesday night like 10 or 11 ish. I heard they were turning it on early if it was ready in those cities. Have you guys speed tested it?
the server mine defaults to in Arab hits about 20 MBps crazy great!

I've tested it 3 times. Each time it gets a little slower. First test when i first saw i had 4G i got about 22mb, the next was 15mb, and the most recent was 8mb.
