Should I buy a G2x or buy the Sensation 4G for $40 more? This is the only phone within my budget right now thats dual core, I wish I could get the Galaxy S2 but its nowhere to be found for less than $500 and I dont wanna spend that much.
And is the screen bleed issue appears at a later time or is it there from the beginning? I will look for it when buying but is it a possibility that it could appear at a later time?
Whats a good price for the phone?
Dnt make a mistake by buying g2x no ics update for it

^^^^ don't go spreading lies. Yes it's not coming to g2x from LG, but once we have sources I'm sure we will get ICS. if the NS is able to run it then we will.

I'm happy with mine. Tried sensation and back to g2x, would buy it again. Love this phone

I recommend going to the store, checking out both phones and going from there. Both phones have their issues and positives, so it comes done to which one is more of your liking.
Also I would think there is a higher possibility of the Sensation getting ICS than the G2X so that is def a plus for Sensation.
Good luck.
Hercules Hercules!!
I would get the SGS2 because its newer and it will more than likely get the ICS update. The G2x is a bada$$ phone but if you are looking for the most up to date phone I would get the SGS2.

I'm with the guy above me, I love my G2X but I wouldn't recommend any LG product to anyone at this point.
1) How much would you be spending on the G2X?
2) It's a very powerful, fast phone -- it does have a few software quirks and GPS lock-on isn't the fastest I've seen. Mod ROMs may be helpful.
3) Battery life has been quite good since the Gingerbread update.
4) The G2X may still get ICS from LG as stock, there has been absolutely no announcement regarding it not getting updated and it's just a mass assumption right now since, well, it's LG. Ignore the FUD, though it would be nice if LG would just say yes or no.
You guys don't say why you wouldn't buy it though? I'm getting it for $220 USED but mint condition.
I simply cannot spend 2x that amount for the Galaxy S2, I don't think its worth two times as much especially the Tmobile one with the crappy 1.5ghz Snapdragon processor.
My opinion is... Dont support LG (because they wont support you), buy it used or dont buy it at all
Im buying it used not from the store, thats why its $220... I would pay $220 for the SGS2 but it wont be for that price for atleast another year.

hopefully you don't get one of those that has a faulty chipset, where little to no matter what you do, your phone will reboot, get hot while charging, get frozen on black screen while attempting to wake the phone (screen of death), insane back light bleed... buying this phone used is seriously a shot in the dark as you won't be bale to actually test things out and then be able to return it... I love mine cause I don't have these issues. Others went through 3 or more before they got a good one or just gave up. Good luck to you.

I can't perform any tests to make sure its not a lemon?
Put your sim in phone and try some GPS. see how long it takes. Also see what baseband its on. Far as reboot issues mine has been 100% flawless and I got it used as well. You can't really test the reboot issues unless it does it right off the bat.

I had this phone for few hours now and it is unbelieveable fast and responsive.
The screen is better than in my previous Galaxy S 4G and actually feels better and more responsive. The colors are unbelieveable and more natural than SGS4G. Black colors will not make me return this phone at all.
Thr speakers are super clear as well. Actually got surprised by how clear the sound is.
Data speeds and reception have been great as well.
these are my first impressions.

I told them that other lines dont care about this phone but they might be interested in some phones that are soon to be released. And the rep told me just call back and they will give me full phone upgrading option to my other two lines. Cant be happier and cant wait for the ups truck now!

Did you call to cancel your service or did you speak to the sales department?
In my experience, the sales department would never make an offer like that so I'm guessing you were threatening to cancel unless you got a deal like this.
I actually talked to CS first and told them the problem that I was having with GPS on my vibrant and then she connected me to some other department(customer loyalty I believe). Then I nicely explained the stiuation with the phone having GPS problems even after the current replacement that I had. And he asked me, if I might consider an upgrade and I just told him that I could give it a try to see if the next phone is better. And then I told him that I cant upgrade all three phones right now but I might in future. So I asked for G2x and he expided for me and devided $250 into four month payment + $50 rebate. (btw, I have been with tmobile since 2004)
loving it so far only 1 problem
so im loving the phone so far. coming from droid 1. havent been able to test the 4g much yet only 2g at the house. I do miss some of the customizations in my rom Sourcery from the droid one will get to porting it to this when we get what we need from the great cm. coming over from verizon obviously. my only complaint is i was under the impression the tmobile girl would come welcome me and she hasnt shown up yet
I had a chance to briefly try one of these out at the store today and was really tempted to just buy it. I currently have a nexus one so it's a huge step up. The only thing holding me back is the HTC Sensation which is supposed to come out in june. Do you guys think it's worth waiting for over the g2x?

So thought I was in the clear with this phone, I started having problems again. Called T-Mobile and now they are now sending the my touch 4g NIB. Umm am I getting the shaft here. Bottom line is I want a phone that works. But I don't know much about this phone and am afraid I'm gettting the shaft. I really think T-Mobile is the worst carrier ever!!

As far as I'm concerned, you're getting ripped off. That phone came out around November or December of last year? It is also only single core as opposed to dual core, as well as many other advantages the G2x has over it...
I'm not sure of your issues, but obviously a working phone is better than a broken one.

The mytouch 4g is a really nice phone. Should the g2x be swapped for it? I don't think so. I don't think its a fair trade off especially since a week and a half ago they were giving mytouch 4g's for free on a new contract

Tmo offered me a MT4G as well, I kindly declined since I already had one. I just got my third replacement and the screen bleed is even worse than my second lol. Number 4 is now on it's way.
After 5 they offered me to upgrade early on the line so I said yes they let me keep the g2x which runs well just the screen bleeds...I gave in took the sensation for a second phone and hopefully when the update for the g2x comes out ill give my wife the sensation. Best option all the way around...

May have to do with what the manufacturer is allowing them to do.
T-Mobile is not going to offer Sensations to the masses. They cannot send the G2X back to LG since it's outside of 30 days and they would have to eat the cost of the Sensation. Some people got the Sensation but most are not. The only reason why I did is because T-Mobile ****ed up and notated my account with the **** up.
Thank you for the replies. I am not that techy I only know how to follow instructions lol. I can't cancel now, but will be sending them back the mytouch and will be giving them a phone call and telling them they can take the offer and stick it where the sun don't shine! (maybe in not in those exact words, but I will make sure they get the point.) I can't believe how they are not taking care of there customers. This is so frustrating, especially with all the problems that have arose with this phone. I had one Rep tell me flat out "sorry your stuck with it" wtf!? I love this phone. I don't want an excuse to get a sensation or anything like that. I just want it to work damnitt!

Tell them you want $120 and the MT4g and it's a fair deal
Even the Galaxy S 4G would have been a better deal....
If you want a mytouch, ask for the upcoming mytouch slide, not the mytouch 4g cr4p.
From a g2x yes its a major downgrade.
Having a mt4g side by side with the x the screen is inferior....majorly inferior. Colors are nowhere near as vivid when compared to the x. Hardware wise.....well battery life is good when rooted and running a good rom. My wife uses it and gets easily all day and she's a realestate agent and emails and calls galore she comes home with 35-50% battery every day. At charge time at night she's down to maybe 25% if she plays on it.
The hardware buttons are nice but come loose after a bit. I do miss trackpad tho.
Regardless its a serious downgrade and should not have been accepted by you.
ITS ALL WONKY!!!

I was just on my.t-mobile.com changing my voice plan. (finally getting rid of My Favs, now I get 200 extra anytime minutes for the same price I was paying)
There is a part of the main page of the site that shows a pic of my phone and provides a link labeled "not your phone?" This space has shown an MT3G since I upgraded my WinMo Wing 2 years ago, even though I have been using an N1 for over a year. For whatever reason I was always a bit leery of clicking the link and letting them know I'm not using the phone they sold me.
Today I said what the heck, I bought my G2x from a B&M T-Mo store. I went ahead and clicked the link only to find that the G2x is not an option.

See I have nothing wrong with my phone. My phone runs great on weapon and faux's kernal. My mothers phone is being buggy though, or either she is technologically deficient. I also was hoping that the phone i was going to get was going to be supported for a while considering the fantastic specs. Anyway alot can happen in 2 years. We are most likely to see an ics port.

Agreed. You're robbed on a monthly basis from TMo. My line on a family plan is $60 a month for services that literally cost the company nothing. They could charge a fraction of that price and still make a profit margin > 100%. On top of that, TMo tried to dump a faulty device on their customers knowing full-well it had hardware problems. Don't feel bad; take everything you can from corporations and don't look back. They would (and DO) do the same to you.
I've had my share of bad experience with my G2X. Recently on kang's nightlies, I notice gps locks instantly. I've been very happy with my phone for a long time.
My one issue still remains, and its emails on stock app don't sync after 10 hours. If I can find a fix i'd be happy and giddy.
I am pretty sure the email issue doesn't exist on stock cooked 2.3.3 roms but I'm too accustomed to cm7 and the built in notifications. I refer cm7.
There are black screen of death I get but, I get by. Email just drives me mad.
More support for this phone either from T-Mobile or LG will be great. Can't complain now that I'm running BP n supercharger v6 nothing is wrong. Maybe GPS not locking fast enough but is way better than an iPhone.... can't say that I don't want ics cuz i do.... btw if u do get to beat the system I'd like to know how. Cuz I'm 1 month away from leaving T-Mobile and refuse to get 2 yr contract with them

Selling Xperia Ray to buy G2x??? what u say ??
One more important question.. is this mobile have any Future?? like ICS comming to it?? because i see t-mobile stopped selling it and its discontinued so.. should i really buy a discontinued phone?? is it really worth it?
If you can get the device under 175 its great bang for your buck. Only be ready to face a few issues like GPS lock, Black Screen of Death (while charging), and random reboots if you haven't updated the baseband to July 2011.
Phone is good, if you figure, if you got a good working one, you will have a sweet phone for the price.
Others might bash it, there are issues, but you have to learn and know your device and which ROM works best. Had it for a year. Still have it. Looking to trade mine for a new device, sorta.

It was announced but they always pull our change. Most people on here will say no. If it does, more than likely it will be released for O2X and then us. There are unofficial ICS roms on XDA but most of them don't have a working video camera (taking pictures works) and some other bugs. As far as bugs... It all depends what you get, I've been lucky enough where I've had zero issues the last year. Others have been plagued by GPS locking issues and random reboots.
It's the best phone in case for development.....its actually better than Stock Galaxy Nexus in my option once the g2x has been rooted and all that....But in whole its a great device......Go for it!!
I love my G2x...now. Stock ROM doesn't work well at all. I believe it's a great phone when rooted and flashed with another ROM. I recommend Cm7.2. I don't have any issues anymore and I love my phone, but I'll never buy another LG phone again.
Hope that helps.

If you want future proof and what not, don't bother with the G2X.
Actually, CM9 and ICS dev has been slow to kick of to all devices. Mainly driver issues, and LG really providing no kind of support. Also the ICS from LG has been delayed to end of the year. My guess is it may never come.
If you want future proof and Vendor/Dev support, you might want to choose another device. When it does work, G2X is great. I think CM7 is best option. CM9 is alive on this device, but because of no device drivers and what not, it won't run as smooth or to its full potential (THANKS LG )

Xpensive !!
Honestly for the price this phone can't be beat. Just know that you get what you pay for. You're not on the cutting edge and hopefully we'll get fully working ics but there's no guarantee.
It's still relatively cheap for what it is. Web browsing is fast, camera is decent, nice design, pretty good battery life.

Regardless what country your in 250$ is too much for a g2x.
G2x will blow any other phone out of the water at its price point.
If you are okay with running gingerbread instead of ics then do it.
Pin it to Win it.
