welcome aboard -
i came to the G2 from the Vibrant - one thing you'll notice is the absolute absence of any GPS issues - uncanny
but there are a number of other upsides to the G2
enjoy
Yeah. At first I wanted the Vibrant as well. Went to the tmobile store checked out the G2 and the Vibrant side to side and G2 it is. The vibrant felt like a cheap iphone where the G2 was great looking and had that heft I was looking for.
I'm glad I got the G2, I had the G1 when it first came out also so its great. I just got the phone today and a upgrade from using my iphone 3G on tmobile, its a very big upgrade. The iphone can not match the smoothness of android os IMO.
I'm loving this phone, the keyboard is going to take some getting used to from the G1 I used to use before the iphone but its worth it. Now I just can't wait to root the **** out of this phone like I did to my G1.

Ya I can't wait for the number port to kick in so I can play with a WORKING gps. Lol.
The samsung phones , IMO, are garbage. All the way down to the file system.
If rooting the captivate gets me on parr with G2 stock then wow look out! This G2 will rock socks!!

So, I just traded my G2 for a N1 :/
For those that have considered this here are my notes.
N1 Cons, that stick out after switching.
- feels slower.
- NO WIFI calling without hacking.
- NO keyboard
- LOT less space, could not install all the apps I had on the G2
N1 Pros.
- Slimmer, feels nicer in pocket.
- My battery is not eaten up by "Cell Standby", but rather the applications I use.
Umm yeah, I think I made a mistake

Agreed. Especially with the Nexus S just around the corner.
I have both phones and prefer the G2. I still love the screen on the Nexus, though!
I too have both phones, i use the G2 and my girl uses the N1. We will have to switch when Gingerbread hits.

Why would you do that without consulting us first?
Is there any chance you can trade back?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
In a sense you did a good trade and in a sense you didn't. Nexus is still a great phone. Its just isn't up to par with the g2. Of course newer phones newer hardware. But you still have a amazing phone on your hands that's worth keeping. Its the official dev phone for a reason. So don't feel upset, it could be worse. You could have traded for a vibrant lol.

Also the N1 only has two touch imputs (and they are terrible). I moved from the N1 to the G2 so yeah I really think you should have stayed.
Straight up?
If so you got hosed. Although the N1 would barely qualify as a downgrade.

Exactly lol I traded my vibrant for this g2 straight up and I feel bad for the guy who traded with me lol. I loved my vibrant especially with a custom rom but this phone is so awesome. But hey atleast you'll get gingerbread first =)

How are vibrants bad? The screen is one of the best ones available. So is the gpu and the hummingbird. Plus its slim and lightweight. It has its downsides but so does the g2.

Yeah... the Vibrant seems like a nice phone. Then you look at the brand and think to yourself, uhh... never mind.
Plus I wouldn't be crazy about an iPhone look-alike.
My wife has the samsung fascinate from verizon. Reaaly tight phone, amazing resolution, lightest phone out there

lol anyways... back to original topic, I hope op got lots of cash with that trade lol
i traded a vibrant for my g2 also...i got the vibrant back 3 days later after the guy bricked. i gave him my hd2 for it...a friend brought the vibrant back on odin....i'm happy and i'm looking to sell my nexus one asap
Who cares if the G2 isn't getting Gingerbread first? Since when has SW stopped a phone from being awesome, when it already has awesome SW? The fact of the matter is, 4 input touch screen lol. I love it, the N1 could never do that, and the capacitive buttons on the G2 are to die for. The OC capability on this phone are endless and Steve Klondik(Cyanogen) is working endlessly to make a Cyanogen build that is awesome for the G2. Gingerbread will come, but I'd much rather have it after ol' Cyan has added the icing to it.

I went directly from an N1 to a G2, last week. I have not found one thing that makes me regret my choice. The G2 just feels like the N1's natural successor.
Besides, Cyanogen himself has a G2 and will, I'm sure, be all over Gingerbread.
I LOVE MY G2.
no hinge problems. fastest phone i've ever owned. android 2.2. tethering. it's just an overall sexy device.
anyone else feel this way?
I totally agree, coming from a blackberry, I couldnt be happier that I made the switch
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
Im not crazy about the hinge design. Its a poor design... Ive used dozens of them and theyre all essentially the same. Compared to the G1 hinge its a downgrade. But I agree with everything else you said. Really enjoying my G2 and Froyo.

i've seen alot of people complaining about the hinge. saying its flimsy and poor made. but i've honestly had no problems with mine.
I seen a demo unit and the hinge wouldn't lock and it would freely open. the sales person picked up the phone and it fluttered about wildly.

Same Here. I miss ms n900. But a modded g2 is the better phone.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
i guess the hinge on the g2 is kinda hit and miss. either you get a good one or you dont.
and im sure the g2s UI is alot more easier to cope with than the n900
I like it. The added heft of the phone but only wish it was a bit thinner, its good still I love it. I put the black case on, and I think it looks much better in black, just like the G1.

The N900 was a great phone just poor surport which sucked on Nokia end. But having a phone that just works and it can be rooted is a +

Either its hit and miss or its the people that are reporting their hinge being perfect arent as picky and can tolerate a little wiggle

Not really. It's just some people don't mind it and others do. Nobody's hinge is as sturdy as a Droid or G1. It's not designed to be that way.

Coming from a BB 9700, the phone is just great. The market kills BB's, this phone is way faster stock. Thought at first the move to the G2 was going to be a little overwhelming, and to think 3 weeks later I would gather the balls to permroot it and run a custom rom is fascinating. This device is the coolest thing I've got my little grubby paws on to date.

Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I don't get what you're asking? Are you asking the G2 forum for suggestions on phones that are comparable that are gonna trade with you?
If so, you've given us absolutely 0 information about how you want to use the phone or what features you're looking for...
And on top of that, I don't think you're going to find many people in the G2 Forum who think higher of a different device.

If I were you stick with this phone. I have an hd7 and don't use it so I sold it. Windows phones are just straight up boring. Mytouch 4g. Only real diffrence is screen is little bit biigger and no keyboard

Well I'm one of those people that likes to have different phones every now and then,so its either the hd7 or the mytocuh 4g,any suggestions will be appreciated.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Haha I see. From my personal experince with the HD7 it was a good phone but your limited on what you can do, for example the market is all most all paid apps. As for the mytouch 4g there's no reall diffrence since both are android platform but it uses modified sense ui by t-mobile. (I like stock sense since it has more options.)

You want newer hardware or software? I'm running evil's G2-4G rom. It's the mt4g rom running on a G2.

Get the mt4g. I have both g2 and mt4g. Both are fast. Both are nce.
I use my g2 for my day to day browsing emailing gaming hacking etc.
Mt4g is the work phone. Rooted running latest iced glacier with mysense uninstalled and adw with honey comb theme. Its nice
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Dont get a MT4G its too similar to a G2, hardware wise. My recommendation is get a Nexus S, if you want to try something different.
HD7 is a windows phone and those are just boring. I agree something different and good would be the nexus S. If not then just go with the mytouch 4G.
Id wait a bit for something else to be released. Moving on from the G2 to something else right now is not really much different. If u insist, get the mt4g. I won't buy a windows phone too locked down and they are pigs.

Well guys I decided to go with a mytouch 4g, brand new deal.traded the g2 for a hd7.played with it fire a few days, and got bored and traded that for a mytouch 4g..

How are you liking your mt4g? I am thinking of doing the same thing. I prefer the G2 but I want/need an ffc. Between voice input and Swype I do not think I need the physical keyboard as much anymore.
G2 has 512mb ram
Mt4g has 768mb ram

Screw that phone. I wouldn't do it.
If she's willing to propose that trade, that proves she doesn't love you. Lol
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Mt4g=180 on craigslist
Vibrant=150(that's being generous)
So if you really switch every three months, the mt4g is worth more to you. Also they're not as bad as people make them out to be.

I had a myTouch 4G before and its a great phone
myTouch 4G has more development plus you have the CHOICE of running Sense which is a really good UI on a well built ROM. That being said, you should read a bit about the good screen / bad screen issue on the myTouch as well as the good EMMC chip / bad chip as well to make sure you get a good model.
What i see Vibrant over it is the super AMOLED, better GPU, and ICS Passion ROM, and myTouch has 4G, camera flash, FFC, and better build quality.
Both phones are good, just determining what trade offs are best for you. good luck

IMHO, if you are going to trade, make sure you are getting something that really will be different. Does it have features you want, what are the differences? Is it an upgrade, or is it just a different phone?
For me I have waited a LONG time since the vibrant came out before I really found a phone worth upgrading to. I want the HTC amaze 4g. Many more features, dual core, ffc, better camera, dedicated camera/video buttons, NFC.. the list goes on. For me it is a phone that will take better advantage of ICS, and should get an official ICS update. The downside is that there isn't a whole lot of development.. yet. But it is a new phone, so that will come in time(and I even hope to make some development offerings once I get one)
So what are you looking for in a new phone, because unless the mytouch 4g has some feature you want that the vibrant doesn't have, you are trading a very solid phone for.. just another phone.
