Welcome to our club.

Also just picked up a G2x off of Craigslist, as well as a T-Mob Nexus S. Playing with both of them to see which one I'll keep. Have you put a ROM on the G2x yet? It's a little bit more involved than using the One-Click app.

I've tried out most of them. I prefer the CM7 nightlies so far (although I'm running the latest KANG atm).

I'm on AOSP and liking it, prolly move to CM nightly soon. Between this and the Nexus S, having a hard time deciding which I prefer - whichever one I happen to be using at the moment is the one I like better. Just worried about whether devs will bring a decent ICS to the G2x.

Does CM7 have the issue of constantly turning wifi off when screen shuts off, even though settings are fixed to prevent wifi shut off? I was using Eagle's Blood, which is supposed to be based on CM, and my wifi would not stay on and was causing my data radios to kill my battery. I'm now on Weapon G2x and the problem stopped (saw this solution in other forums), but I'd like to try other ROMs and I'm wonder if you or anyone else has seen this issue in their ROM of choice. Thanks!

Thanks this phone is fast I can play angry birds and ninja fruit with no lag

it is encouraging to see someone else do the same drastic upgrade! i am a little afraid i'll miss my keyboard but i think that will fade quickly

Yea this is a nice phone. Something about the hardware I like most is the feel of the screen, it feels just like glass so your fingers glides with ease lol

I thought I was going to miss the keyboard on the blackberry. I was over of in a day.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

Also forgot to mention I came from a Motorola backflip. Its slower then the g1 cuz of motoblur. I was happy to throw it up in the air about 70 feet in the air once I got this phone. Surprisingly it didn't crack. It broke though. Anyways Congrats on the g2x

that is good news to hear then i've had keyboard phones for six years and was going to upgrade to the sidekick 4g but after doing all my research i decided the g2x was obviously a much better phone, it will just be a bit of an adjustment for me

I also came from a g1 and sold that and got the mt4g with some cash. It was and still is a beast of a phone but I needed a g2x so I traded for one on craigslist. Honestly as nice as that g1 keyboard was I have gotten over it with smartkeyboard pro which IMHO is the best on-screen keyboard out there. Best part is I'm still due for an upgrade since this past August and I already got this sick ass g2x I was drooling for back when I had the og g1 lollol

Have fun
I used to have the G1, then Mytouch 3G, now G2x, it's a great phone! Way fast and now that most of the bugs are worked out it runs awesome. Now I just need to figure out how to root the thing and I'll be all set!

I don't know if this has been posted yet, if so sorry. Will we be getting this on our mt4g?

Thought that too, it will be CM something. But why would you want a stock ICS when, when it drops, they will be tearing it apart and hand it out like candy for us to play with, way b4 tmo sends it....if ever.

The video of ICS posted by the ebayer looked horrible, the new launcher news even more work before ICS drops officially. I just hope that they're still working on the new UI, cause they haven't really done anything major in my book.

The main aim of Ice Cream Sandwich is the unification of phone and tablet UIs so as to provide a standardized ecosystem.
There is every possibility that all manufacture will try to provide an ICS update.
Let's hope T-Mobile will launch an ICS update to MT4G (may be with sense 3.0 or greater)
But, for the time being lets watch for CyanogenMod..........

That looks really cool! Thanks for sharing, I hadn't seem that yet

Farewell Glacier peeps

My Galaxy Nexus showed up yesterday so I will be moving over there now. It's been great with all of you. I bought this phone off of GOOGLE play website and am very happy with it so far. I'm hoping to find a buyer for my glacier soon cause it's still such a nice phone and would hate for it to just end up in a drawer.

Yeah, I'm planning to just ride this phone out until the end of the contract (late December). Development is still surprisingly strong, I don't play any graphically intensive games, and the phone never fails me for anything.
