T-Mobile is doing the free phone special this weekend when you sign a contract. I'm not on a contract at the moment but am going to take advantage of this special, the only thing is, I'm not sure which phone to snag. I love my Vibrant so it'd have to be incredible to replace what I have, otherwise I'll just sell it. Any suggestions on which phone to get?

any specific reasons why you say G2? I thought it had a slower processor than the Vibrant.
It doesnt it has a 2nd gen processor and it can be oced to 1.42ghz

I recently get to play with my friends g2 and it is a really nice phone especially if keyboard is a big thing for you. It by no means slower than a vibrant. The screen had a slightly inferior blackness level due to it being lcd but it will just be like your computer monitor, not that big of a deal. Vibrant does have the superior media experience: more codecs and voodoo sound support.

Just pointing out HTC g2 issue.
Hinge. A lot of people returned their g2 because of this z hinge. It's loose and dangles around.
People says they cant text while they're laying on their bed... which is bs since ur gonna support the top part (the one with the screen) with ur thumb and index finger.
Anyways it wobbles even with keyboard closed. Well at least that's how mine was.
A lot of HTC phones comes with qc issues. Such as loose battery cover, dead pixel, dust under the screen etc. (I replaced my mytouch 4g 5 times due to qc issues).
G2 have plastic screen Unlike vibrant (gorilla glass). It feels somekind cheap when u touch the screen. (only the screen feel cheap, the rest feels awesome
Ur gonna need to buy a SD card since only about 1.3gb? Internal memory is available.

My touch 4g feels great it hand with front facing camera and all. But its a pain in the ass to get a good one. Like j said I replaced it 5 times. Half of them comes with washed out screen.
Also comes etc loose battery cover light leak, squeaky button, off centered front facing camera. I would just get mytouch 4g and sell it on ebay and keep the vibrant.

You gonna sell the phone? Look on ebay for what's selling for more. the etf only applies to the line, not the phone. If you are gonna keep it to play with the phone, look at the forums for what has more out for it now.

I actually did just that. On eBay, the Mytouch 4g sells for more than the Vibrant or the G2. So that's one option. However, the G2 seems like the better candidate for experimentation and CM is already out for it. Or, the third option would be to get another Vibrant in case I ever damage the one I have. Decisions, decisions.
I think you should wait for dual core phones, since you can't really make up your mind. I know that it seems like a good deal right now to save the $150-$200. But by signing a contract you are shelling out alot more for the data plan, on top of that neither of the three phones are that much better than your current Vibrant.
Besides, the timing is just suspicious, T-Mobile is probably using this chance to clear their inventory to make space for the new phones being release this year.

Just to let you know mytouch 4g have cm 7 nightlies.
I heard u can remove the data plan (if u want) by putting ur sim card into crappy phone like razor and leave it for few days and call t-mobile and tell them u lost ur phone or u broke ur phone.

Are grandfathered into a an older unthrottled data plan? If so, no free phone is worth getting throttled over.
As far as the timing goes, this was not my idea to begin with. This is all my wife's doing, I'm just along for the ride, but hey a free phone is a free phone.
I may just get a G2, use it for a bit as well as my Vibrant, and when the new dual cores come out, sell both and buy it outright.
Thanks to all of you guys, you were all a very big help, as always.

I'm a serial phone swapper , but I'd have to say that the Vibrant (all GPS issues, the plasticy feel about it and lack of Samsung updates aside) was one of my favorite Android phones.
I'm seriously considering picking up the Vibrant 4G when it comes out. I love the screen, the call quality , and signal strength that it had. If this 2nd edition of the Vibrant lives up to those qualities of the first, I have no worries about picking one up!
Anyone else considering getting one?
If it was time for me to update on my contract I probably would.
I absolutely love this phone! Thankfully I've had no issues with GPS and honestly it doesn't feel as solid as my old G1 made by HTC. I only have a cheapy silicone case on it that I literally got for $3 from Japan thru ebay, and I've dropped it a few times from around 2-3 feet and the phone didn't miss a beat.
So even tho it feels light and cheap it def holds up, even with just a cheap case.
And yes , Samsung is horrible with the updates, but we've also found that it is also TMO's fault as well.
But IDC bout updates, we have the greatest devs giving us ROM's that make my phone feel literally 10 times faster and smoother than my g/f's stock Nexus S!
Also, I got a front facing camera from a buddy for $20. So My phone will be exactly like the 4G, aside from the fact of the 4G speeds of course.
i really was thinking about getting it and actually got as far as almost completin gmy ebay listing to sell my current vibrant before the price drops....but then i looked up some more details about the 4g and found out that it only has 1gb internal memory. Also, since the devs currently have vibrants, and the vibrant 4g isnt ThaT MUCh of an upgrade, i think they will stick with the current vibrant. So then the dev community will not be that strong for the 4g. Agreed, its an easy port between the two phones, but I personally have no idea how to do it and im pretty sure that all devs will be busy porting 2.3 etc to the current vibrant to pay much attention to the vibrant 4g....so im not jumping ship just yet
no
maybe when my 3g speeds max out everywhere i go, t-mobile lifts the 5gb throttle limit, or i actually find a use for a FFC. until then, i'm fine with the original
Not with Pyramid around the corner.
I figure by the time that the Pyramid comes out I'll be shopping around again LOL

I am actually considering it, first i will see how far i get with customer loyalty(because my gps never truly worked on any rom), we've been with tmobile since voicestream(Probably won't matter to them anyways). If customer loyalty is willing to send a vibrant 4G at a reasonable price i will get it, if not i will wait for dual core. Honestly unless another manufacturer comes out with a super amoled+ display i don't see myself leaving samsung. They suck with updates but xda pushes out way better roms than stock.
My wife works for Tmobile so I'll be getting it She gets 3 free phones a year...so yeah
I won't be spending money on it, but I will be calling the customer loyalty department and finagling a free Vibrant 4G out of them for pulling a shenanigan like this.

It's not 1gb internal. It's 16gb and comes with 16 external micro SD card. U start with 32gb.
1gb is for apps. And I believe its like 1.8 not 1gb.
Same as ours. Only difference is the back cover, battery, ffc, and it supports 4g.

Wow. I've had mine since Nov. Came from a G1, I don't think they will send us referb G2's cause I had a Sidekick LX and they day the sidekick 2008 came out my LX broke and they sent me a brand new 2008. So if anything we may be in luck with Mytouch 4G S. But nine months is such a short time to issue EOL. Where's the update anyway?

They have to make room for the Sensation. After thats out for awhile then they will probably release the g2 replacement. Besides, they probably have enough in insurance to cover the people with a g2.
You crazy if you going to get a G2, when Sensation and Galaxy s2 are coming out. Unless you need a keyboard, I see no reason to get it over the other two. Plus you can buy a S2 or sensation when it comes out and sell it on ebay and buy 2 or 3 used g2.

Reasons are simple:
I want a full keyboard,
The price is right (48.88 on upgrade at Wal-Mart)
I don't wanna wait for the Doubleshot,
I don't like the hardware specs of the Sidekick, nor do I want samsung.
Did I mention the price at wal mart? (Cost is a huge deal when you are supporting a family and a mortgage!)
On a happy note, 4g is starting to show up on phones in SE wyoming!
I cant believe this myself but sound like the G series maybe a thing of the past with ATT in the picture. I dont understand how can you drop your best phone! lol
Well I guess this means we won't be getting gingerbread

The G2 is T-Mobiles freaking most reliable android phone weve carried since the day it came out. I work in one of the most high volume stores in the country and we get the G2 with issues atleast once per 3 weeks and we still manage to trouble shoot and fix the issue on the phone. We don't have any phone that compares to it. Its been 8 months or so since its release and it still rapes in sales . Amazing!!! All you idiots that complain about being on your 3rd or 4th phone. There's one thing we always say in store... "USER ERROR!!!!!!!".I had the phone one month before release and rocked it till about two weeks ago, I got the G2x...still rock solid. Punks!!!
hahaha he makes me feel proud about my good ol' G2
Damn, what the ****?? I don't understand why they're pulling the plug on the G2 when phones like MyTouch 3G Slide is still available.. If anything, do away with that one before you do it on the G2 which is by far a better phone in every single aspect than the MT3GS.
T-mobile needs to get their priorities in order. Mytouch 3G and 3G slide are still sold. They just put G1 on EOL last year I believe. G1 had 3 years of life. While we G2 users only get 9?

Now, tell me something. What will Gingerbread do for us? My friend is using Gingerbread and he said that there is barely a difference between 2.2 and 2.3. ,

Hmm I'm trying to trade mine now for a Nexus S and every buyer wants at least $90 on top. What you said has got me thinking about holding on to it, since mine is in pretty good condition.
But yeah its sad to see the G2 gone. I think with the end of the G2 comes the end of the G series, especially if the the Tmobile buyout goes through.
I suspect one of the major reasons is the sheer number of hardware issues the device has faced - particularly with the screen. I'm on my third g2 in only 8 months and i handle my devices with care (unless you count stock OS which I gutted for cm7 ). Honestly, when i returned my g2 for warrant repair last time I was hoping they could replace it with a different device. Guess not - still, what this will do give those needing warrant repair a way out of the g2 hardware issues and boost the price for well maintained g2s on ebay.
I'm thinking this has to do with something an earlier poster said. The G series may be going away. Despite the G1 being the genesis of Android, nobody in the "mainstream" knows that. Ask an average joe what the first Android phone was, and I'll bet money they'll respond with "the Droid". Marketing does a lot.
I just find it strange how the G2 has been killed off prematurely and how the G2X is "temporarily out of stock". Throw in all of LG's manufacturing woes and the impending release of the MyTouch 4G slide, and the G series looks to be in trouble. Knowing T-Mobile, they'll want to highlight the "consumer-friendly" (and really cheesy, IMO) MyTouch line of phones. Just a theory... I actually hope I'm wrong.

I don't see any particular reason for them to continue with the HTC VISION. The HTC DOUBLESHOT (very soon) is basically the same exact phone with a CPU upgrade and a front facing camera... possibly more RAM and internal storage as well. The screen is identical, probably the exact same part, the keyboard is very very similar, etc. Probably the same mainboard with a few different parts soldered onto it, and a different casing.
Also I wonder how much of this has to do with a push to retire phones lacking FFC and NFC - increasingly becoming standard components for android devices.
i used to have a g1. bought it the month after it came out. then got the g2 a month after it came out. i love my g2.
i may come into an opportunity to get a g2x for my g2. would you trade? i know the g2x has some issues but i'm gunna flash it so it should fix most problems. plus dual-core, 4.1'', front facing cam, hdmi? seems like a pretty good upgrade.
any1 get a g2x after having a g2? howd you feel after switchin?
I got the G2x before selling my G2, I do miss my G2 though, great phone!
I traded my wifes mytouch 4g for another G2 (so I can go back if I want to).
I haven't had any problems out of my G2x but, some have had problems.
If you have the opportunity to mess around with the G2x for awhile to make sure it doesn't have any problems that have popped up with others, I would go for the trade.
Even better if they want to do even trade.
I say its definitely worth it. However if you use the keyboard a lot and can't live without it then well things change

Nope, it's not HTC. LG's always have buttloads of issues, and terrible software support. If you think HTC is slow with them, you won't even get them after 6 months with LG.
Never been a fan of LG when it comes to phones.. just bad experiences with them. I have no problems with the G2, so I don't see any real need to change it to the G2x.
Lack of qwerty will definitely hold me off from getting g2x
No physical keyboard is a dealbreaker. Im also loyal to HTC as well.

Is it a straight trade or you adding cash? If it's a straight trade do it, and then sell the phone and buy the G2 back.
Had a G2x, I miss the keyboard so went back to G2. Typing without looking is always a +.
Definitely not worth it. Roommate has one and even after two returns its still a piece of junk even on stock rom. Random reboots, doesn't hold a charge for ****, lockups, white around the edge of the screen, and that's just touching the surface. Its a GORGEOUS phone and when it actually works it rocks, but like I said a year ago, the first gen dual cores were all gonna have problems that needed worked out. And his phone proves it.

The G2X looked really promising, but unfortunately people are having issues with it. I think it looks like a great device. I'm already seeing them for sale as low as $300 though. Its really a shame I thought this would be another good addition to the "G" line of phones for T-mobile.
I think some of the steam got taken from it when the Sensation 4G was announced as well.
If someone offered me one for my G2 I'd probably give it a whirl. I definitely don't think its a big downgrade or anything like that.

It doesn't even deserve to be part of the G series honestly. It's made by LG (don't even get me started with LG). So I don't even count it as part of that phone line.

Build quality on the devices is amazing though. The screens used in them IMO not so great, but they are pretty sturdy phones, especially the 4g, so if the 4g slide is anything like the 4g as far as build quality then I'd get one, I'm not THAT much of a fan of the design, but it's a good upgrade from a G2 I think. Dual Core 1.2ghz and once it's rooted and we get CM7 running on it, it's going to be a badass phone. I definitely see the improvement over a single core phone when I used my G2x, even my Nexus S OC'd to 1.3ghz wasn't as smooth as my G2x, so I'm definitely eyeing that 4g slide.

Well I kinda got confused about it not having a keyboard. The G1 and G2 had keyboards, then all of a sudden they come out with the G2x from a different manufacturer with no keyboard. Idk.
LG hardware isn't the best, and I guess that's reflected in the current going sales price.
Having held the g2x I REALLY like the hardware, software is what is killing this thing.

Wow.. i don't know where u are getting your info -- hopefully your not dreaming - !!!. I wanted to ask, would u think a fair trade / upgrade / exchange if a mytouch 4g (no slide) was given for a G2 ? And if not - how much cash should be added.
Aside from the fact of the keyboard of course...
Thanks
Definitely not, at least not as of today at 5 oclock. I just talked to a tmo rep about my phone having issues and they are sending me a G2 replacement tomorrow. I asked half joke/half serious if they could send me a mytouch and the guy laughed and basically told me they aren't in the same league. An 800 single core vs a 1.2 dual, a pretty standard basic camera vs an 8mp one with HDR built in. Yeah, it'd be nice but keep on dreaming.
Exactly there is going to be no way in hell that you would get that phone as a replacement especially since has not been released yet. Maybe in another 6 months but then g2 out of warranty by then.
Any idea what the partial upgrade price would be?
I talked to the local tmo store and after giving them the "I've been a customer since 2000, blablabla" spiel they said they might be able to work out a replacement deal once the MT4GS hits stores on the 27th. I told them I loved my G2 but that I was concerned about "all of the problems" it has been having (in quotes because mine has been solid since day 1) and that I wanted a more future-proof device (does that exist in the technology industry?).
just talk to them.. they're human beings. they have policies, and policies can be bent to make the customer happy, especially if you pay your bill on time and have a good track record with them on not losing devices, not many replacements, etc.
I talked to the loyalty department. They wouldn't give me one penny off, I've been a member for 6+ years, never missed a payment, had one warranty replacement on my G2. I mentioned "all the problems" ive been having with my G2 and soforth and they told me to eat ****.
This whole myTouch 4G slide as a G2 replacement thing has been taken out of context I believe. Don't get me wrong, I would love to get upgraded to the mt4gs but I seriously doubt that is ever gonna happen. Even though our beloved G2's have been labled 'end of life' there are still hordes of refurbished ones that asurion and tmo will use for warranty replacements rather than lose money replacing it with a next generation phone.
Edit: @Kaczman: the last line of your post made me LOL hard... thanks for that

I would personally call that a downgrade :/ It's essentially the same hardware without a physical keyboard.... The screens could (arguably) be considered better and you have a bit more ram but tell me one time you couldn't run something on your G2 because of lack of ram because in a year with mine it has never happened.

I would personally call that a downgrade :/ It's essentially the same hardware without a physical keyboard.... The screens could (arguably) be considered better and you have a bit more ram but tell me one time you couldn't run something on your G2 because of lack of ram because in a year with mine it has never happened.

I have ran sense 3.0 roms on my G2, and once I changed my hboot to the dz, it ran flawlessly. Sense based roms just aren't my bag though, I prefer the speed and fluidity of asop builds personally

Not Exactly..
Main Goal Is To Get the 4gSlide..(One Step Closer You can say,Since they wont be able to offer the G2 anymore since its EOL)(They Granted Me time to Play With the Phone and can change my mind)
Id Rather Get A Brand New Mytouch4g Then a Refurbished G2(Had Many issues with the 4 replacements i have received)..
I love my G2 but Time For a Change..
Its Bittersweet
Man. My 2010 jetta, such a pos. They don't make that anymore either. I should go demand a 2011. how did this planet get full of such crap entitlement brats lately.

Definitely not, at least not as of today at 5 oclock. I just talked to a tmo rep about my phone having issues and they are sending me a G2 replacement tomorrow. I asked half joke/half serious if they could send me a mytouch and the guy laughed and basically told me they aren't in the same league. An 800 single core vs a 1.2 dual, a pretty standard basic camera vs an 8mp one with HDR built in. Yeah, it'd be nice but keep on dreaming.

they're still throwing around the MT3GS so I don't see that happening any time soon... Would be nice though
While I understand what you guys are doing, if you want a new phone go buy one. HTC put out a great product, don't call TMobile making up issues and making it seem like a pos just to get a free upgrade.
We all love to stick it to "the man", but grow up guys. Off contract phones are expensive, but if you are that impatient that's what they are there for.

My phone got stolen and I just realized the g2 is discontinued. My sisters galaxy s got stolen too but got a galaxy s4g. But for me... what I am going to get? What would tmobile consider an equal phone? Thanks guys
They have plenty of refurb G2's to give out still. Discontinued just means they aren't selling them new anymore.
If you're really lucky you'll get a MT4G Slide.
Mytouch4g. Download wheresmydriod once you get a new phone. Saved my ass once it got stolen

Oh, but how come my sis got the gs 4g? Shouldn't they have like a lot of them too?
And a refub g2 aww man ahaha lol and yes next time where's my droid will be the first app on my next phone lol
they will not give you a G2....my friend was given a choice of 2 phones...one was the mytouch slide 4g...the other one I think it was the sidekick...
I would rather take a refub g2 than a mt4g slide or sidekick, man this blows lol
you can find a brand new G2 on ebay still sealed in the box, not refurb but brand new, just have to keep your eyes open.
I bought one on ebay about 3-4 weeks ago for $325 factory sealed!
Insurance won't pay for a phone from eBay... but I wouldn't worry too much about it. Refurbished phones are 'like new.'

I would also get the IMEI blocked so the idiots who stole it are SOL!

I actually like the MyTouch 4G Slide. It's been rooted for a couple of months and we're starting to see alpha builds of CyanogenMod already. Read the reviews for yourself.

That makes no sense AT ALL.
The DOUBLESHOT is practically the same phone as the VISION. Just with a faster CPU, more RAM, better camera, front facing camera.

It makes no difference anyway, it is trivial to change the IMEI once its been gfree'd.
Next time, install the app called Prey - it is like Lojack for your phone - it will use GPS, text records, calling patterns and even the phone's camera to quickly locate your phone and then you can go over and pick it up from the thieves with the police with you and they will take the bad guys to jail!

ummmm..... not really - the DOUBLESHOT (myTouch 4G slide) is a good phone, but it's no G2 - it's made cheaper and less elegant than the G2 (cost savings) and has more bloat, so not really faster in real life, it's actually slower! - and it has worse battery life, and more megapixels doesn't mean a better camera, and with the tiny sensor that these phones have, anything over 5 megapix is a WORSE camera.
and the G2 has much better developer support here on XDA - I wouldn't trade my new G2 for a new DOUBLESHOT
ever wonder why the G2 has a substantially higher user rating than the DOUBLESHOT on both GSM arena & phonescoop?
Yup I've tried the double shot and like I said I rather have the g2 refub or if they offer me the doubleshot or the sidekick I can wait a week or two, save up and buy a new in box on ebay or maybe a used one in good shape or upgrade to a slate like the gs2
the reviews says it all it has a dualcore yes but is much slower than any other dual core out there and frankly like others said the my line sucks, it is made cheaply, feels cheap on the hand, and with sense bs, even worse, and the developement is just starting too, and I'm too used to cyanogen goodness, also to me fron facing camera is something I wouldn't use really, I'm not obsessed with my self to take pics every 5 seconds or ever video chat on my phone. Lol
F that your rooted next time install cerberus!
Not familiar wirh cerbelus, that would be like the other apps, also what if they change the sim card? Would still find it?
How about the htc sense? Can we detect our phone if they already change the sim & no using data? If im not mistaken, htc sense only can be use when we using data.

Please update this with your options that t mobile give you. I am in the same boat. My phone is acting funny and mY warranty expires soon

I'm gonna go tomorrow after class to see what I get, and ill will let you guys know but it we try to think reasonably, they will offer me of "similar" characteristics, like it states on my warranty so it will probably the sidekick or mt4g slide let's hope not the lady at the tmo store here knows me and hopefully she can work something out
