T-Mobile G2 vSamsung Epic 4G in a CNet Prize Fight.
http://androidapproved.com/item/tmobile-g2-versus-samsung-epic-4g-cnet-prize-fight/
Think I read this already, and we lost from what I recall. Played with a Vibrant and G2 is much more familar (stock Android is in my soul). I could never deal with Touchwiz on a daily basis. Bet I'm rocking Gingerbread on my G2 way before the Epic/Galaxy S...

We won.
How about comparing GPS performance? "Epic" fail on Samsung Galaxy series. After going through the fiasco with poor GPS performance on the Samsung Captivate, I will never touch a Samsung Device again.
Oh, cool

I was very close to buying an epic, the $10/mo. Fee x2 in my case gave me pause long enough for the G2 to come out. The biggest difference between them IMHO is build quality, its like the difference between an M3 and a Mustang, sure they both do the same basic things, V8, rear wheel drive, tiny back seat, etc. But there's no comparison. G2 wins by a mile on feel alone.

Just saw this.... just as I was looking to get one!
That's a bunch of crap if you ask me. Great phone, one of the only decent phones with a decent keyboard.

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
I'm sure we will, In the article is says nothing about us not getting gingerbread. Just be patient and wait until next month before you worry about it.

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. ,

One good thing I can say about this is the g2s will be rare since they won't be in production. Meaning if we want to sell ours we can bump the price. Ha

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.
According to Android Spin here: http://androidspin.com/2011/06/02/mytouch-4g-slide-caught-on-camera-sense-3-0-and-android-2-3-4/
since G2 reached EOL they'll begin to stop holding Tmobile G2 warrenty replacements...so they'll give us Mytouch 4G slides if our g2's "break".. (and probably give us warranty on those)...
SO MUCH WIN!!!!1!one!!eleven!

I just read about the whole EOL thing on Engadget..and JUST bought a G2 from my local Craigslist yesterday to replace my failing HD2..damn.
Warranty doesn't carry over if you buy from craigslist, I've tried. Unless theres a loophole I don't know.

They aren't going to stop warranty replacement, it's when there are no more phone in stock. That's how it works.

im considering it my biggest issue with it is that it so ugly its like they looked at the mytouch4g and said what tweaks can we make to make this look worse maybe ill can talk them into a sensation at least that phone looks really nice
The mytouch line all look cheesy in my opinion. The G2 is much more slick. I don't understand why you are all freaking out about EOL (except warranty replacement). We will still get software updates in our custom ROMs, even if they have to be ported from another device.

Nope. Right now the only replacement device t-mobile will send instead of a g2 is an HTC hd2 or a moto cliq 2. Last month it was the mt4g hd2 or another one that was garbage.
Chances that you will get any phone with a dual core as a replacement right now is slim to none....emphasis on none. This is coming from the person that went thru 4 g2 refurbished in about one week. I went thru all of the possible alternatives. They explained the process and how the devices are chosen....and new devices are not an option. Otherwise peopple would be getting free upppgrades constantly.

I upgraded from an HD2 to the G2 I'll just add if they EVER tried to 'downgrade' me to a cliq 2, Tmobile doesn't get one more penny from me. Ever.
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

Family member just got one, rebooted twice in the car back, and turns off every time it's plugged in, so no lol.
Little research shows that phone is having MAJOR issues. Hardware is amazing, but tmobile and lg need to pull the whole line until these issues aren't as rampant.
Sent from my T-mobile G2
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.

If u are using the keyboard a lot you probably don't want the g2x. And it's an LG, I wouldn't go for it.

I actually purchased a G2X 2 days ago and returned it. The main deal breaker was the lack of trackpad. I'm now back to my G2 and loving it.

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.

if you plan on selling on craigslist be aware that buyers will most certainly always want up to 20 dollars off the price your asking, so just a thought you might want to add 20 extra dollars to what you are asking, you never know maybe it will sell for those extra 20 but then you can also get your asking price, however, if you are not selling on CL then disregard this...
In the US, around $175. Europe, Asia or anywhere else there is GSM $300. You are probably going to have to hold out for awhile before someone is willing to pay those prices.

I don't know if this helps in your calculations of what your used G2 is worth, but brand new G2's still in the factory sealed box bring $325-$400 in USA on ebay.
Not really sure why you would want to sell your G2 though, there is not a phone I would rather have if you gave me a budget of $1000
There is no other phone made in all of the world with a REAL keyboard that has the G2's combination of reliability, style, fit & finish, reception quality, voice quality and dev support and it runs on the carrier than is 1/3 the price of the other cell phone companies, what in all the world could replace it?

If you don't want/need a QWERTY keyboard, there are plenty of better options. But otherwise, every other phone on the market with a keyboard is trash compared to the G2/DZ.
