Jost orderd a TMobile G2! - G1 General

Hey all. The new TMobile G2 (not the mytouch) is shipping Oct 6th. I was looking for info on it in this forum, but could not find anything other than tons of junk on the MyTouch which everybody here calls the G2 Touch/Hero.
ADMINS: Lets get a real G2 forum up, stat!
If anyone has any links for me, post away. I really did search, but 'G2' in not that good a search term to start with and useless with all the myTouch junk mixed in.

Who the hell is 'Jost' and why should I care that they just ordered a G2?

Haha. That's what I get for using my phone to post.
FYI: I found the real G2 forum.

Tried marketplace, maybe here?

Good morning ladies and gents, my first post in this forum. I'm usually in Hermes, Excalibur and Raph, but I need to post here now. A friend of mine gave me an HTC Touch but it's from Sprint and I have AT&T. Now, before you say anything, I 'm experienced to know enough it can't be swapped. What I'm looking for is someone who wants to maybe trade? Anyone interested in swapping GSM for CDMA? Like I said, I tried the Marketplace thread with no luck. Thanks yall.

I've grown tired of my wing as well, and think it's time to move on. Problem is, I'm not a huge fan of the G1 or the new mytouch. I've been looking at the HTC Fuze and unlocking it. Not sure about the Wing 2 (aka touch pro 2).... hmmmm

Traded My Vibrant - GOT A GREAT DEAL!

Ok so no flaming cuz im not saying this phone sucks at all.
I love it and had it running 1.6 along with so many 3d games i bought such as avatar, ganstar, and a few others. Also running launcher pro plus and android phone 7 look
Well i was offered $130 + and HD2 and i thought about but i just couldnt give in. Then i was offered a $100 + HD2 + Samsung gravity Touch. It might have been a good deal then but i just love the phone so much, it was like nooo..
So To end it, it was a 2009 Hp Desktop with Wireless keyboard and mouse + HD2 + SAmsung gravity Touch i think its a good deal anyway. and ill just be selling the hd2 and gravity and getting a vibrant again next week!
any comments?
sounds like you know a very stupid person.
Well done.
Now post again when you get your vibrant.

Congrats I mean if you can get a free computer out of the deal and buy another Vibrant why not right?
No, you haters, Definately not a moron or stupid. Computer is fairly Fast and has 2gb of ram as well as a 250GB HDD with the 19inch monitor. To get that plus a touch and an HD2 is more than a good Deal. For i am already getting rid of the Gravity touch tomorrow and selling it to a friend for $150 since he was looking for a phone.... I can easily sell the HD2 for about $300 since both phones are 9 out of 10 condition.
$300+$150=$450 - price to get a vibrant. $380-$450..... At the end i got a free pc after all...
BTW: When someone insults or flames others about something they share, i think others just follow along and hate too because they think it makes them cool or something! - Bet you anything to whoever said admin delete this thread it wont happen... Why?? it was posted in general where i can basically share samsung vibrant related chat.
EDIT --- I guess mods are cleaning up ...
Lol! Its funny how none of your posts In xda are of any help, yet come ***** about stuff. Move on. Picking up fights in forums. Oh geezzzz !
Thread cleaned and guess what...I really don't like having to come clean this stuff up. This is in fact the General Section for the Vibrant...which is defined as follows:
"Discussion about the T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant (general chat, tips & tricks, etc)"
If you don't care about this thread DONT POST USELESS COMMENTS and move along... if there is more flaming people will start getting free vacations....now let’s stay on topic and respect each other!
Howd you get 1.6 on it?

Lol, we are not hating on you. We called the person that got your Vibrant stupid. He traded $600+ for something he could've traded his HS2+ some cash.
Anyways, good for you, and don't post threads like this anymore since it has nothing to do with the Vibrant. Good day, and bye.

nahh you missed it there were a bunch of other posts, but hell yeah the OP got a good deal ...
But as the MOD said this forum is General for general chat, tips & tricks, etc, by that ANYTHING that has to do with a Vibrant fits here, including selling one.

Yep, agreed. Even if the OP had traded the Vibrant because he hated it, which he didn't, he said he loved the phone - but even if he traded because he hated what he received in return still stands as a good indicator of the perceived value of the phone by folks who don't own one and want one.
Just last week my cousin offered to trade me 2 iPhone 3G's for my Vibrant. Not a bad deal at all, in terms of overall value.
I dig the Vibrant now that it's rooted and tweaked with a custom ROM, but to be honest if I were able to get 3G speeds with an iPhone running on T-Mobile I most likely would have taken him up on it. As much as I am now liking this phone I'd also be plenty happy with an iPhone as well, not to mention I could have given the second one to my wife and negated the cost of her upcoming upgrade in December. She's a photographer and I'm a designer, we have macs here at home and the iPhone would play well with our setups.
It is what it is man, preferences are preferences. Just because someone wants an iPhone, or doesn't like a Vibrant, that's not some kind of insult. People have their preferences, yet a lot of folks really seem to take the fact some other folks aren;t digging their phone as some sort of personal jab.
OK, end off topic tirade directed at no one in particular.... - what I'm saying is that my cousins offer and the deal the OP just received tells me people want the Samsung GS phones and I have options should I ever want to trade.
Agree 100% with the watcher (not to mention the moderator as well!!) This certainly concerns the Vibrant and fits just fine in general.
Awesome !!!
Nice to know there are still suckers out there and those who will help them prove their mental midgetry
Ok...if you don't like the phone nobody blames you. But would you please explain to all of us why you are posting here. This topic is not going to help nobody in the forum... If everyone start sharing what a good deal they got out of their phones the whole forum will make nonsense. And it will be hard to find helpfull things.. I hope you all understand what I'm standing for....

Did you just ignore what the Mod said ?????
I am not sure what you are standing for but sure is not this community ....
EDIT:
May sound like I am insulting you but I am not trying to , I am just trying to explain , IMHO, the "General" Vibrant forum really is for anything concerning a Vibrant, chat, tips & tricks, etc, by its definition, and this thread would qualify as chat.

He said that he loved the phone and that he was getting another one! Stop trolling and read the first post before you jump in and start trying to criticize people.

Hey Thanks to all of you who supported me and backed me up, But honestly the only thing that truly pissed me off was the fact that ive been around xda for quite some time now, being part of all android forums relating to GSM Devices starting from the g1, so i truly know whats right and wrong, and where things go of course....
Over time i have helped a great number of users, specially the mytouch slide by giving them my gmail to gtalk and help with rooting as it wasnt an easy process... and i decide to ONE time write in the general thread and share my story and all of sudden users with a POST count of Under 10 or 20 start Flaming. No offense to others who have a low post count, just to the ones who were rude and thought they were right...
Anyway this is my last post as i dont want to keep bumping this thread as the thread has been read and seen by others and i have had the comments and opinions i asked for... Once again thanks to you guys and the mods who helped clean up the mess))))

G2 General forum should be renamed - G2 I Have Another Problem

Seriously every little thing that someone can think of as a problem with their G2 is here.
Waiting to see a post like, the brushed aluminum trip is ruining my reception.
When I play Oldies my G2 doesn't dance like a toaster - please fix ASAP!
Kthnxbye

Haha so true. That way I could avoid the forum all together and have a decent place to chat with other intellectuals.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
software wise, this phone is built live a chevy but hardware wise this phone is made in china with lead taints by sweatshop children living in a chinese restaurants basement
Well maybe if batches of their phones didn't ship with hardware AND software problems we wouldn't be on here complaining.
Sorry to interrupt your intellectual discourse with our pedestrian problems. Please forgive me, my lord.
And why do people keep posting app questions in this forum? Last time I check there was an app forum for the g2.
Oh and if tmobile is sending bad batches of phones to people, why are you coming on a development forum to moan about it? Call tmobile and if your issue doesn't get resolved, it must be too stupid to solve. People need to man up and stop crying. Its a great phone, if you don't like it you should of returned it via buyers remorse. Whinners

You know? Problem is, no one here can fix all these "hardware" issues. Take the device back and get another. Again, there is a 1 yr warranty on parts and workmanship. Cry to them, not here. Been hearing about it going on 3 wks now. MOVE ON!!!
P.S. lets discuss app development and get this sucker ROOTED. PEACE

Welcome to the internet, I have a feeling you aren't going to like your stay here
Seriously though, there is no specific sub forum for people who are having issues, so they all get placed into general. Frankly, one of the nice things about forums is if you have an issue with your device, you can come online and see if anyone else is also. It lets you confirm if you have a bad unit or if they are all bad. Sometimes someone will post up a fix. Some people will get carried away with complaining, but that is how forums for tech devices have evolved to work. If you don't like it, tough, that is just the way it is.
Given that this phone is relatively new, this is completely normal to see the forums being overwhelmed with people posting their problems. Give it a few months for issues to be worked out and you'll see it calm down. Then you guys can get back to your "intellectual discussions"
This is the best place to get answers so no wonder people post their issues here.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
Look....I agree with discussing issues with a device but why carry it out? Nobody here has magical powers to fix hinges which seems to be the main topic since the release of the device. We are all aware of the issue and some of us don't have bad parts while others do. Just take the device back where it was purchased and you'll be taken care of. Why ***** about it which is what some of the members are doing. They are on their 4th device and still *****ing. If they have an issue with a device multiple times than I guess it's time for a different make and model. This is a good venting thread. THANX.

P.S. is it just me or there isn't optimus S forum on the XDA...(it's not the same as the optimus one is it...?)
anyway...thank you guys...
well i think i still will be visiting..
Adios bru, and no I don't think there is a dedicated forum for the optimus on xda. All the development for it goes on over at the android central forums.

i wish there was an optimus s forum cause i really like the XDA...
oh well...i'll be 'seeing' ya guys
Optimus S = Optimus One = Optimus V = Optimus "insert letter here". Though money wise, with the optimus s you might have been better off dumping sprint for the optimus v on virgin. Same phone, same network, no contract, phone is $150, unlimited text and data with 300 minutes of talk for $25 a month. Unbeatable.

just so you know, aosp has his same aospCMod for the optimus, check the wiki, you'll be right at home.
here's the optimus thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=836 and here's aosp's rom thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=962862 and I would assume you know how to find the wiki. I am 100% sure that V rom works on the S, just asked aosp in the "livehelp" IRC and he confirmed, a few people are already using the ROM on the opt S.
oh wow....AOSP...you rock....thank you il Duce ....i can't believe it...

LOL i just remembered when i started looking at the optimus that XDA didn't have a forum for it.. So instead of starting a new thread to say good bye, i did a quick search for optimus.. saw someone post something about leaving the hero.. and the rest is my lazy history..
