I previously had a Vibrant, and loved it. Unfortunately I had a pretty intense water accident with it (sat in a jacuzzi for 10 min before realizing it was in my pocket). I am eligible for an upgrade and am torn on phones. I have to get a phone by the 25th, so I can't wait for the Hercules, so I'm wondering, should I look at the Sensation, SGS4G or G2X?

I would get a Sensation 4G. G2X has to many problems, and the SGS4G is kinda dated.
Sensation. Easily the best choice. Dual core, 768mb RAM, great looks, reasonable battery life, great overclock.
G2x. All of em are good now!

I am really torn... know they are all great phones... the SGS4G has an amazing screen, the G2X has stock AOSP so no need to root, but the Sensation has the rocking hardware and great screen size....

g2x = problems, problems
Lg can't make a phone to save themselves. I've said many a time they should just stick to tvs.
G2x is awesome on paper but as stated above is very buggy.

G2X = problem child.
SGS2 = cute specs but its built like a Chinese stapler.
Sensation for sure. Yes this is a bias opinion.
*slowly waves hand*
The Sensation is the phone you are looking for.

Hahaha thank you Master Jimmah. Actually I'm kind of leaning toward the Sensation, mostly for the screen size. Not sure about the locked bootloader, though.

Not just screen size. A higher resolution than most. Being rooted is exploding atm, new **** everyday. Htc can make a phone, that's for sure.

G2X is not a bad phone--the hardware is definitely not lacking and it's running near-vanilla android! BUT the software's been known to be plagued with crippling bugs. If you know you're going to be flashing over CM7 or some other ROM, then G2X wouldn't be a bad choice.
Sensation is overall more stable and better built, but perhaps not as zippy (unless you again flash custom ROMs)

update: I'm getting the sensation this friday and t mobile is giving me 30 days to switch out for the hercules if the hercules releases in time... I will just have to pay the difference in price & 50 dollar restocking fee... if I like the sensation, I will instead just keep it tho...

You wont be disappointed with your decision. I would've waited for the Hercules too but couldn't wait and not sure the rumors were true.(got phone last month) hopefully cm7 will be released sometime soon

Lol that's really bad timing. They say the HTC Ruby will also be released on that same day and will outspec the sensation with a 1.5 ghz dual core. That could have been an option as well.

the ruby is an oversized tampon in my honest and humble opinion.

Games that the sensation cannot run. My GF has a g2x...Its great for gaming..
Matt
I had a g2x before I got my Sensation and it was alright. I just couldn't understand how the two phone could have almost the same size shell but the g2x screen was so much smaller. It has alot of wasted space. Plus u have a thing for HTC phones. But if you really like AOSP then go for it.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
If youre lucky, youll fing one without random reboots and unnoticeable screen bleeding then youll have a blazing fast phone, cause they are wth a custom Rom.
I have my g2x on the market now its a great phone and I have no problems I just like the peace of mind from htc and the bigger screen of the sensation
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
I gave up my g2x for a sensation no regrets
I have the sensation and I like it, I think it's better Than the G2x overall. However I tried the g2x in a tmobile store a few days ago while I was paying my bill, and I must say that the phone speed is ridiculously fast. Anybody who really wants a fast phone should get the g2x. Apps open sooooooo fast it's not even funny. I was blown away personally.

I don't know much about the Slide 4G but from what I've seen I would trade it for a Sensation in a heartbeat. I despise slide out keyboards. I know lots of people like them but I can't stand the way they make a phone feel in my hand. Because the Sensation's screen is larger I don't have any issues with typing on the touchpad. The Sensation feels like such a premium device. The camera from the Amaze has been ported to the Sensation so it's not like the Slide has that advantage, really. I would make the trade but I don't know a ton about the Slide. Anyone else out there that does?
Biggest one...the amount of development the Sensation has.

i have to agree with you there. slide, amaze and sgs2 havent had so many devs working on roms, so i say yes to switching to the sensation unless you want to wait for galaxy nexus

Sent from my Senseless Doubleshot using XDA App
Only thing is that the MT4GS has a better camera with f2 and other stuff, compared to the Sensation's 8MP. But, it's true that Devs have no interest in the MT4GS or Tmobile's "SGSII"(most likely due to CPU?). These phones have very poor support and I wouldn't recommend them to anyone wanting ROMs.
P.S. No offense to the Devs of the those phones

You should defiantly trade phones if you care about development, I want a sensation for the same reason. I was considering the Amaze but development isn't as rapid.

Only if it has been within 30 days...Otherwise this type of switch only happens when tmo if out of stock os slides then they offer a comparable phone. If the phone was broken under warranty they'll exchange it thru asurion and give you another phone. You could sell it in the XDA market place, ebay, or craiglist(dangerous!).

You'll have to sell unless you can find someone here on XDA willing to trade it. Getting it through a warranty is tricky since they need to be out of stock and what not.
Ok I went to tmobile to exchange this but she said I have to call customer care
So how should I do that and if I tell them to give me a sensation will they

SK4G is unsupported both by devs and Samsung. Aren't you guys still stuck with Froyo or something? Either way even if you get GB you'll never see anything past GB unless you get CM9, which is highly unlikely.
MT4G has awesome Sense ROM's, a solid MIUI ROM, and a very stable CM7 ROM with CM9 looking within weeks.

What he said
I actually traded my sk4g for a Mytouch and its completely with it. Yes a keyboard its nice but there's no development, and the Mytouch has a bigger screen and typing/swyping is a lot easier that on the sidekick screen.

Getting a Mytouch 4G for a Sidekick 4G is like getting an Audi for Kia (I don't specifically have anything against Kia, but I doubt anyone will argue that a Kia is a better car than an Audi). Don't ask questions. TRADE! Trade and run before your friend realizes their mistake.
I played with a Sidekick 4G for a few minutes and it was a joke. Minus a physical keyboard a Mytouch 4G is better in every way.

Really? Did you even look? The G2 and desire Z are the gsm brother to the shift... I think you need to read up and get a firm grasp of android before you start porting stuff... If you flash a rom for a different device there is a good chance you will brick... Read read read

I read for half year before I even showed interest in developing kernels... Start small, with porting mods, and making mods in the uot kitchen too... Than try your hand at kitchen ports... It's a very good idea to learn up heavily on updater scripts and the partition setup for the shift...
P.s. Evo 4G roms are less difficult to port as well, and they have 4G...
