so rumors of the nexus 2 are circling. i had my money on the g2 being the new dev phone. damn, maybe i should send my g2 back afterall. im impatient i want the new android asap, i hate waiting for carriers to play catch up
I feel you. I love the G2, but after having so many android options on my HD2 I had high hopes for the G2. I guess I was wrong. I've already signed up for several overtime gigs on my days off. I should have enough for a nexus 2 whenever it launches.
The nexus two is still a rumor, Samsung themselves said that it was not true. I would keep the g2, because even if you do not have root(for now), you probably will be one of the first handsets to have gingerbread.
Ill be keeping my g2 because I cant see anything being better then it. Plus I dont like samsung

I agree. I am actually quite happy with my G2.
The nexus 2 does not exist nor will it ever. Cnet confirmed this in a article about samsung. So end that rumor now lol because its not true! Here is the link

i read the article, did u?
"All things considered, though, I think that the Nexus Two exists in some capacity and that it will be announced shortly"
i hope they release that the g2 will be the new dev phone. i wnt my new android asap! i hate waiting
Key words " I think". Samsung confirmed that they are not making it, so the likely hood that its coming from that source is very little. So yes I did read the article, problem is did you interpret it the wrong? Looks like you did....

"The nexus 2 does not exist nor will it ever." i duno about all that man, an im pretty sure i interpreted the article right.
he means that there will be another dev phone out very soon (maybe a nexus 2 who knows wut they will call it) and that samsung will not be making it. there needs to be one, 2.3 will support FFC and video calls. how can the nexus 1 do that?
also i think that you are not understanding what i am trying to say. the name of this thread is "i wish the g2 was the new dev phone" i had my hopes that the g2 would become the new dev phone. this way we can get the updates asap and not wait on our damn carriers to update.
i am super glad that samsung isnt making it. i hate samsung. but there will be a new dev phone out soon

At this point I'd pick Samsung over HTC. HTC will most likely not be an XDA's members choice of android phone in the future.
really? samsung over htc? i have to admit samsungs screen looks good, but the phones look cheap and feel cheap. maybe it was jus the demo phones i was messing around with
i really like my g2, i need a real keyboard. swype sucks and i have big fingers. the samsung with a real keyboard was waaay to bulky. then again its all ones opinion

I really like the look and feel of the g2 and all HTC phones overall, but hate how it's being locked down. I know most don't care about it being locked, but I would really like to load a different rom onto it. I'm not knocking the build quality of any G2 just the restrictions.
lol regardless of whether or not the phone is a dev phone or made by htc or samsung, the g2 is still gonna get updates faster than most other phones because there is no skin ( sense, motoblur, expresso etc...) on top of it to slow down the development. Second the main reason ( not the only one) the nexus 1 got updates faster than any other phone was because it was a product sold specifically by google. So of course the phone received update faster because it was googles phone. And since google confirmed that they would NOT be making another phone to be sold and would just focus on refining android, there will not a be another so called nexus 2 or true development phone, regardless of the carrier or manufacturer. So either way your argument is pointless. Stop worrying about future updates and whether or not your phone gonna get it first and just enjoy it.
So I'm debating what the next phone is that I want to get. Should I either get the Nexus S or wait and get the LG Optimus 2X when it comes out.
Pros of Nexus S: Cyanogen, 'nuf said.
Cons of Nexus S: Not that much more that the N1 really. I currently have an N1.
Pros of Optimus 2X: Tegra2, 1080p, etc.
Cons of Optimus 2X: not even out yet so unknown at this point.
I'd love to hear what you all have to say on the matter, thoughts, criticisms, pros/cons, etc.
Just wait! In all likelihood, the price of the Nexus S will go down by the tIme the LG comes out.
Plus, you'll have to see how LG will modify Android too
I'd wait on the optimus 2x. It'll probably be great, but you don't want to be one of the people to find out first that it isn't. Wait a week after release, read reviews, then buy.
On the other hand, if you're satisfied with the nexus s reviews, get it. Sure, it won't have the highest specs in a month, but that doesn't mean it'll be trash.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
you know this is the nexus ONE section? :L
I'd go for the Optimus
As it stands, the LG. It's a monster.
Between the two...hands down the LG Optimus.
I'd take the LG, but imo LG phones are bad. I've had several and never had a good experience. Their UI isn't great either, but like I said it's all opinion. So.. I would wait for reviews or wait a bit longer after that for something even better
I would say the lg also. Digging how the tegra is shaping up. Just not sure about lg's build quality, or if there will be support from the community here. Comm support is a must for me since Im learning as I go.
I think this is relevant to the N1 forum since op is asking about what to get after it.
Idk. I just got the MT4G a month ago. I plan on getting a new phone when an HTC phone with the 1.5Ghz dual core Snapdragons are released. It depends on how often you upgrade. If you get a new phone every 6 months, I'd get the Nexus, but if you're the type to wait out your contract I'd say the LG.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
I tend to get a new phone every year, contract up or not. Kind of depends on funds at the time.
I'm agreeing that the LG is going to be a monster, but am afraid that there will not be the community support that the N1/S has. So far, Cyan seems to focus on HTC devices, and I really like what Cyan does.
So far, I prefer vanilla Android with tweaks here and there such that ADW does, but don't like the interfaces that Moto, and Samsung, etc use. So if someone comes out with a good custom ROM for the LG, I'm there.
I have a feeling though that as soon as I get my tax return, I'm going to get antsy and end up getting the Nexus S, won't be able to wait for the LG to come out, then it'll come out and I'll be all disappointed. At the same time though, all these bad ass Android phones have come out that are superior the the N1, but because of the community support, I haven't been too disappointed to regret having gotten the N1.
In the end, I think it boils down to community support, with the NS will have plenty of that the LG may not.
It's a no brainer, got to be the LG 2X.
The Samsung NS looks like a soap dish.
First, this is in the wrong section I think..
Second and most importantly, we have no idea how rootable the Optimus 2X will be... if it's totally locked down, how would you feel about not being able to mod it?

I disagree, who better to ask what I should get after having and N1 for a year, than other people who have an N1 and might also be thinking to get another phone.

That's kind of why I was posing the question, others might have a better idea as to how LG is with their devices and if they tend to be easy or hard to root, good/bad build quality, warranty and support issues. Is LG lenient with software hack like HTC is, or are they strict and won't service a phone that's been rooted.
I understand that the phone isn't out, but I'm trying to start my research early to start building a mental image of what my options are so that I can make a well informed choice when the time comes, instead of buying something just because it's there and everyone is talking about it.
Your cool in this section bro. But if your leaning toward the Ns, then I would wait for the next HTC device...just a thought

didnt you have a n1 with a test build of gingerbread? how do the two compare since you ran gb on the n1...
whatever you do, wait until march 2011 or so ... by then a couple of tegra-2 phones will be out and the mistake of the Samsung Nexus S will be long forgotten.
I'm keeping my Nexus One until then

The S is smoother, the animations are much better, and it's snappier. This is all due to the improved hardware.
It's the same Gingerbread experience though. I'm badgering my friend to hook me up with Honeycomb.
The software is identical, but the S takes much better advantage of it.

G2 with ExtraHotSauce v0.2!!
Nexus has great build quality, is a great weight, slim, has a coloured trackball and a really good screen. It's great if you don't like hardware keyboards, would love to own a monumental piece of Android/HTC history.

Absolutely all very true points. But it isnt nearly worth your money as a daily primary device.
...thats a pretty expensive hobby of collecting phones lol
No no. I'm not trolling. I love this g2 thus far. Its a great device. But I do want to pick up a N1 for a trial or two. If anything ill make it a dedicated gps.
All the N1 hate makes me sad. And I DO NOT like the Nexus S at all.

I don't think anyone hates the N1, it's just not "new" anymore and therefore not as cool as the "newer" G2... you know the drill with us techies.
I don't think you'd be unhappy going from the G2 to the N1. I personally can't understand how you'd be able to like the N1 and not like the NS though... they're basically the exact same device minus the manufacturer's name. (putting my flame retardant suit on)

No flame here. I completely agree. I love the N1 too, but it is a year old now, the specs just aren't good considering what you can get now.
I agree on the Nexus S point as well. NS is the next iteration past the N1, and it really is a solid device.
My issue with the NS is more of an anti samsung thing. With them dropping the ball on the galaxy froyo updates I just can't back em. Plus I the N1 was sexier. Imo.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2
I also think about picking up an N1 to fiddle with. Love my G2, but I'm afraid I've become addicted to seeing what our brilliant devs can cook up. So, the idea of having both a daily driver and a toy is attractive.
Regarding the NS: I'm wary of Samsung. I'm sure it's a solid device and, having been tapped my Google to be the next Nexus, will continue to reflect the bleeding edge of Android for at least another year. However, Samsung's record of slow updates and less than solid build quality puts me firmly in the HTC fanboy house.
Not going to lie. The new 10.1 tablet is tempting even with Samsung written on it.

title says it all, but just to expand...
my contract just passed the 22 month mark, but im wondering if it would be a smarter idea to get the g2 and see what happens after the potential merger and what promotional deals i could get (if any). or i could be safe and get a g2x and be able to use both frequency bands of att and tmobile. I do realize that the g2x has a dual core, hdmi output, etc, but honestly specs dont matter that much to me; im perfectly content with the g2's good speed. theres also the fact that the g2 has a keyboard, while obviously the g2x does not. i currently have a g1, and i find it hard to switch to virtual keyboards. So guys, input?
reposted from q&a, idk how to delete a thread.
well, i personally love hard keyboards but after getting use to swype, i can honestly say I can do without a hard keyboard. I'd prefer the g2x simply because it will set you up for the future. I'm waiting for my upgrade and switching to the g2x. I love the g2 and all but soon enough, apps and all will be updated to support multi cores. Plus i think the g2x's screen is better, looks better i mean. Up to you
At this point, the G2 shouldn't even be on your short list of phones to consider. It's old technology. Phones like the G2X and other upcoming dual core superphones like the Galaxy S II (or Galaxy S Pro if you want a keyboard) should be the ones you're looking at.
I see no value in buying a phone that came out in October last year at this point. Don't get me wrong the G2 is an awesome phone and I really like it, but there's no reason to buy this old of a phone with all these great ones coming out.
You just have to ask yourself, could you really see the G2 being relevant this time next year? I think a phone that comes out this month has a much better chance at that.
So little love for the G2 already? I'm shocked.
I have had mine for 5 months or so now but I honestly think If I was to upgrade from my old handset RIGHT NOW, I would either get the still G2 or wait for something else to drop from HTC with a hardware keyboard.
My last handset was a Hero and for the entire 8-10 months I had that I always regretted not getting a G1 ... (a) for the kb.... (b) for the dev support!!!!! There was always more going on with the G1 than the Hero.
I think I'll be content with my G2 for another 12months yet.
My wife just got a phone last week. We went into the tmobile store and personally i dont see anything better then a g2. g2x doesnt even count imo... it isnt in the G family on so many levels.
G2 is working great for me so she wanted a g2 also. Shes very happy with it, but then again she came from a motorola cliq lol.
You posted the same question in the Q & A subforum.
Cross posting the same question to multiple subforums is against forum rules, and unnecessary.
I have a G2 since December and my girl just got a G2 now. The reason she wanted a G2 was because she was switching to t-mobile and wanted a phone with a keyboard. We decided that the G2 was good enough for her as it was quick for what she does and has swype as well.
She got the G2 for free with no dataplan required so it was a good deal.
Sure a dual core phone would have been nice, but it would be overkill for her. Front facing camera is a nice feature, but she won't be using it much, or even at all. She didn't want to drop $200 for the latest phone and pay $30 dataplan for the next 2 years.
She just love to text, email and go on facebook. She came from an iphone 3G so it was a big upgrade imo.

He using a G1 currently... do you honestly think the G2 is outdated compared to his current phone? It will a GIANT improvement over a G1 and you get to keep the qwerty kb. Trust me, I even fired it up the other day and it was unbearable.... The G2X has nice guts but looks like a plastic pos from LG (typical) and the extra frequency won't freaking matter for 3 years+ The stupid merger will be blocked for a year and a half (at least) and another year and a half before your 3G towers are gone (you still have 2G after that). By that time, 3D phones will be becoming mainstream (or at least more popular) and dual processors will be improved while quads are arriving on tables. The G2 is a good choice for a couple of years. Hell, you can overclock to almost 2GHz! That's plenty fast for now and the near future. The only issue I see is RAM is low compared to newer high end models but the cpu makes up for it with a little OCing...

Consider that this gentleman is still on a g1 which at this stage is genuinely outdated some two years after release. I think if he moved to the direct successor to this venerable handset he would be quite pleased. The brief overlay between release and the present day has merely allowed the dev community time to support the device. Instead, if he did what you suggest and get a g2x (which lacks a hard keyboard, something he seems fond of) he would have to wait some months for it to be cracked and the dev community to support it.
Not to mention that dual core phones are still relatively new tech. Even if the hardware is screaming fast, every dual core phone released so far has some sort of software issue and do you really genuinely believe that the carrier or vendor will be quick to patch these issues? Consider the Engadget review of the LG Optimus2x
Where we were left disappointed, however, was in the company's software execution. Neat little tweaks to Android's default interface failed to obscure the fact that the Optimus 2X is neither as responsive nor as stable as it should be. You might be able to rectify those flaws by installing one of the inevitable avalanche of custom ROMs that this device will benefit from, but we're here to review LG's own performance and we find the failure to deliver a reliable platform inexcusable.

Though speculating on the end product that HTC will produce is nothing more than conjecture at this stage, these types of commentary lead me to believe that despite the frankly staggeringly good physical hardware, albeit lacking the desired keyboard, the current iteration of dual core smartphones aren't really ready for the consumer market. Their battery life is acceptable, but that goes away when you really are trying to utilize the benefits of having a dual core setup in terms of snappy multitasking.
Get the G2 man. You'll be holding onto it for a while and whatever crop of phones ATT comes out with assuming this merger goes through will probably not live up to the high quality you'll find in the G2. Even now the Dev community is still supporting the G1 so as to if the G2 is going to be "relevant" in a year, that is a silly question. What about all those people who wish to stay off contract yet desire a decent handset at a cheaper price since it is a used model? Dismissing a handset offhand as being "old" and "outdated" despite obvious evidence against this assertion is both shortsighted and closed minded.

the g2x hasnt even come out yet, that was the optimus 2x, which had its own lg skin over it.
this phone, with the g in the g2x, is mostly stock android with a bit of bloatware put in. you cant say it has a small mod community when it hasnt even come out yet.
Here's really what it boils down to: do you need a physical keyboard or not? A physical keyboard is an absolute must for me, and regardless of the hardware specs I need that keyboard. Right now there just aren't a ton of options on the market, for whatever reason, for a great phone with a physical keyboard, but the G2 is a fantastic one, and easily the best on the market next to the Sprint/HTC Evo Shift (since it's the same internals as the G2 anyway). Remember, even flagships like the Xperia Play have nearly the same exact hardware as the G2, so it's not like it's a crappy phone or something, just not cutting edge any more.

Hardware wise its the same phone and will be the same subforum .just like the g2 AND desire Z , HTC leo AND the HD2.
Sure the specs on the G2x is amazing, but i would perfer my G2 over the G2x anyday. What I love about my G2 is that it has a beautiful qwerty keyboard & personailly the g2x looks like plastic. The G2 looks like a ****ing Rock. So which one do you rather have a big peice of crappy Plastic or a nice tough looking Rock.
Like others have said here is my list of importance.
1. physical keyboard (i must have it, i cannot do without it)
2. android os (duh...)
3. spec (finally my 3rd i would finally have to start looking at speed and memory)
Maybe the keyboard isnt important to you, if that is so then you have a much larger selection.
G2!
G2 all the way!
Once you've gone hardware keyboard you cant go back. The keyboard is really a big draw the phone has. There aren't really any negative traits about the G2, besides that it's just slightly older. The 800 mhz processor isn't a negative trait about the phone. HTC makes much higher quality phones that LG (in my opinion). And there is not really anything that the G2x has that the G2 doesn't, aside from being game-focused (or at least the T-Mobile website makes it sound game-focused.
My vote is for the G2 for sure.

I came from the cliq... I feel her pain. Dont get me wrong, that phone was like a better iPhone sacrificing the High-End games. But man if its 1 thing I learned from that lesson. Its patients, timing and the right manufacture.
The G2 has a few things no other phone tmobile to date has to offer. Total Openess. Means long community support. G1 still fully supported cause its pure google. Only other phone is the Nexus S which lacks Keyboard, no SDCard, and is Samsung.
Not a single Dual-Core phone is pure Google yet or even a popular HTC for that matter (Like the EVO). Now the Evo 3D would be a good by because itll be way ahead of every1 else, be purchased by many, and its HTC. Most importantly translate to a large Community Base/Support.
Guys what's the difference between the Mytouch 4g and the Q, can they use the same firmware or no???
Mytouch 4G is made by HTC running HTC sense with "Mysense" overlay. It is an older but more powerful phone with more ram and a better screen.
The Q is made by LG running LG **** with a "Mysense" overlay. It is new but has horrible construction and the screen tends to be unresponsive.
Hit thanks if i have helped.
P.S. NO, you cant flash Mytouch 4g roms on the Q
So basically no one cares about the Q, and is forever never going to have a customer firmware?
THat really sucks, there are a lot of ****ty phones on this forum that have there own forum, why not the Q, at least you can root it for godsakes.

Should of done your research before you bought it.
hind sight is always 20/20.
If you want a phone with a lot of development then you need to 1) do research 2) buy a popular phone. not a cheap one.
doesn't matter I'll reject the shipment and once again by another phone on craigslist or ebay, I'll buy another Mytouch 4G, so I can have the EEPROM die on me again. This will be my 4th smartphone in a row. Whatever.

I'm not attacking you. In any way/shape/fashion or form. If i did, please point it out to me.
You're just coming across as that we are the reason the LG MyTouch has no development sector.
And we have nothing to do with that.
As my first post on this excellent forum I would like say, neidlinger, you helped me alot with which direction to go when I needed help with rooting my glacier(My Touch 4g). Some people just don't know what they are getting into with these devices. Sounds like OP has alot of $$$ to spend. I could use some lol. Anyway, just my 2 cents.
At least the LG MyTouch has CM7 with more roms in development.

I bought my daughter the Lg "Q" a few months ago and to be honest it's pretty compatible to the glacier (mine) as far as hardware is concerned.
The problem everyone is having here is the fact that there are more advanced devices coming to the market and for people that can't just shell out $500+ for a new device get shafted on the forums. It should be the other way around the phone companies guilt you into a more expensive device if they can the forums should support the community as a whole.
There are exceptions with devices that don't have the quality that others do but this device does everything the glacier does. There should be a vote to see if there's enough people with the device to make a forum for it that way no one gets left out without a chance to be heard at least and if there's not then it was given a chance to be denied for a valid reason.

Say whaaa! Dude you gotta let me get whatever it is ur smoking. My wife has a Q. I'm not gonna lie, the eye candy that the Q is rocking looks great but there is no way that that pos phone is comparable to the HTC mytouch. Hell my old HTC mytouch slide 3g ran better than the Q. And there are a couple threads dedicated to the LG MyTouch. Use the search function and you'll find them.

I'm not saying their exactly the same (even if that's what you got from it) I'm saying they are both within specs of each other you can also look for your self if you have both like I do, I don't use it or honestly haven't even touched it aside from buying it. I'm trying to say if there are as many people out there that would like a forum to work on it and it's enough for it to be worth looking into then there should be some system in place for voting on whether or not a forum gets put up.
Just because people don't have the money to bang out a spare $500 every time a new device comes out doesn't mean they should also get the shaft on a site that is solely community based.
Made my point, done.

I feel ya man, But as a rule of thumb HTC devices seem to always be supported better and longer on XDA, All the others maybe save for Samsung is always a crapshoot for development! And Its not just about specs. HTC hardware is just better known then LG's and has superior build quality. IF custom roms is your thing its best to research first to see if your phone has a forum and make sure it is a international phone. The more people that use it, the better chance of it being developed for.

My sister and niece have the mytouch q (i told my sis to get mt4g or 4g slide and she got the mytouch 4g that also slides...smh). They both hate it, and I don't like it either. It's laggy, ugly, and nothing compared to mt4g imo.

The q tuns way better then the MT 3g slide my mom had both... the LG and HTC 4gs have the same specs hardware wise. Its just you guys have better support on xdA.

Nice try, but not even close. The Mytouch 3g slide and 4g were OUTSTANDING phones... I still have them both. The mt4g is still one if the best phones out today. The mt4g slide was ok... And the mytouch q was a mess. That's just a fact. HW specs and/or amount of development has nothing to do with what makes a good phone if the specs aren't used properly.

My wife has the LG e739 and I have the htc mytouch 4G. The HTC is far superior in both build quality and processing. The LG is extremely slow. I even rooted it and took out all the bloated ware and it is still laggy and unresponsive about 100 percent of the time. May 11 is our upgrade date and we both are going to get the one s from tmo. I do however like the graphics on the LG. They did a great job making everything Look pretty but that phone is slow as crap.

My brother had the Q, & I find it odd that you like the graphics? That was the most obvious thing I noticed in the 1st 5 seconds I held it! Looked like the Optimus T. I just don't like LG's approach to the MyTouch. I think it was a poor effort & TMobile must have thought so as well. HTC is still superior, & I don't expect the Huwei MyTouch to be much better.
