.01 New sub amazon w/contract. Just checked.( If I wanted an alarm clock I would have already gotten an LG.)

Love my Bolt and have no desire to switch right now, even with the dual core, blah, blah, blah, hubub coming out. I'm currently on BAMF SoaB 1.03 and have no issues. GPS locks fast, great battery life, everything works...I'm all set.

Gs2 vs sensation vs 2x

http://mobilarena.hu/teszt/ketmagosok_egymas_ellen/bevezeto.html
In the sites vids you'll notice a consistant.
The gs2 wins over.
Other than that the 2x clearly the better phone.

I'm sorry but does that make any sense at all? You said the GS2 wins and then you state the 2X is better.
And in reality, the SGS II is obviously a more polished product than the 2X.
Yeah. I realized were on the brink of a whole other level of phones.
The gs3 will be worth the upgrade.
I'm definitely keeping the g2x over the sensation.
But I would have loved the gs2.
I don't see how anyone could rate the sensation over the g2x

Sensation with locked booloader - dead on arrival.
The G2X is actually running better on 2.2.2 with OC kernels than 2.3. Would have loved to seen 2.4 on one of these.

They barely announced this. Do you think they would scrap all their production to unlock the bootloaders? ... No
More than likely you will just see the key leaked earlier on the sensation.
HTC stated that future phones would be unlocked. At that time the sensation was in production already.

Yes the sensation will be unlocked. Well the keys given out.
But the sensation is clearly suffering from older tech. How does a 1ghz dual core in the g2x outperform a 1.2 ghz in the sensation?
Especially when the g2x is running foyo and the sensation is running gingerbread.
Has all these people who want to ditch the g2x even researched the 2?
The g2x is in fact the better phone.
They raised the price because the only thing your getting better on the sensation is the screen.
And thats debatable.

For those of you who don't know the sensation uses an arm a8 processor and the g2x uses a arm a9, even though the sensation is clocked higher it still doesn't match up to the g2x its like an i7 vs i5.

Same here, I remember thinking about getting the Sensation but then came along the G2x which is a beast. Second best phone coming out this year, have to give an edge to the GS II just because of the 4.3 inch SUPER AMOLED PLUS screen and it's dual core 1.2GHz processor that hits 3100+.........besides that both phones are just as good as each other. Oh and mind you the G2x isn't running GB yet which means those 2500-2800 quadrant scores should be around 3000 as well.
Running stock rooted G2x with faux123 stock kernel @ 1.1GHz
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
I think the bulk of the persons who are choosing the Sensation over the G2x may be those who got fed up with the bum G2x's out there that have the constant locking up or rebooting problems. I personally have gone through 3 of them and was ready to explode over the matter...
Yes yes, I know, "I have one and I haven't had any of those problems" - good for you - you're one of the lucky ones. For us who have experienced it with multiple phones, well, lets just say that we have been left with a bad taste in our mouths.

Yes the Thunderbolt is sturdy...until the kickstand peels.
The Evo 4G is sturdy...if you got the right screen.
Point is...HTC suffers from launch bugs and jitters like any other manufacturer.

[Q] Getting "upgraded" to a Galaxy S

So I currently have a T-Mobile MyTouch 4G that I really like, I have Cyanogen Mod 7.0.3 running on it, and I get great battery life. I have some dust under the glass, so I called T-Mobile and they said that they would happily exchange it, but that they don't have the MyTouch 4G and that they will "upgrade" me to the Samsung Galaxy S. Looking at the forums it doesn't seem like there is much development for these phones. Should I tell T-Mobile that I want a different phone? or are there custom ROMS that I can run on the Galaxy S? I really like the 16 or so hours of battery life I currently get, plus how fast the phone is. Thanks.
Sgs4g is about the same speed.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
The phones are about the same speed but the mytouch4g has 768 mb of ram and the sgs4g onlu has 514... The mytouch 4g also is rated higher on quadrant. But imo the sgs4g is gear more for adults. They are still developing roms. The only one I know of that is actually stable is the deodexed stock kd1 by whitehawxx. There will be alot more soon especially now that drhonk has gotten the test sgs4g.
Sent from my legit SGS4G.
Rom: whitehawxx's deodexed KD1

U dont have to lie the sgs4g gets MUCH better framerates if thats what you were asking...for some reason the quadrant scores arent as high but I can assure you that the hummingbird has a much better graphics card than the snapdragon plus it has a little bit bigger screen so I think that it is a bit of an upgrade and when it does start getting more custom roms it will just be the super phone that it should be

I am also one of the Mytouch 4G too Galaxy S 4g "upgrade" cause when my MyTouch 4g Dies overnight while sitting on my Desk charging...
So far I like the phone, but it does miss a few things the mytouch 4g had. Overall Good phone so far and MUCH easier to root than the MyTouch 4g.
Cool thanks for all the feedback.

Took the words right out of my mouth. I can't say one is better than the other as I haven't tried rcmix3d either, but it's hard to imagine anything running better than VU
I installed VU yesterday, and while it's only been a day, I'm loving it.
However, VU is currently on hold and development may not ever start again. If you go to their website there's a blog about how people have been stealing their work and they're being disrespected, and they're sick of it, understandably. So while VU may be the best choice today, it seems like that could change.
Having said that, just try'em both!

Keep G2x or G2?

I'm really torn if I shoukd keep my g2x or keep my g2. The g2x is obviously smoother with scrolling, application launch and etc. The reason I got the g2 is almost every app supports it. While I feel the g2x is dead and won't be supported. I rooted, custom rom'd my g2 and overclocked it. But it's still not smooth as the g2x?
