So the release date for the us lg g2x for tmobile hits online store on the 15th of april and in stores 20th of april. With my contract expiring, should I get the lg g2x? I love the vibrant but I feel its time to move.on..

I think I'm going to wait and see how the dev scene for the 2x is and what the official specs for the htc pyramid are before I choose.
I am not very impressed with the display and camera of Optimus 2X which is essentially a G2X
G2X is cool but I still want to wait to see what the Pyramid has to offer.
It would be awesome if Samsung made the Galaxy S II a G-Series phone.
I would wait for the pyramid.
Im going to pick this one up just to sell it when the galaxy s II come out. Im sick of my vibrant as well...
Is the pyramid for tmobile? If so I'll wait. I also heard the sgs2 is quite expensive

I'm waiting for the pyramid. No more Samsung for me.
Pyramid is going to have a locked bootloader which may take a long time to crack. I'd go with Samung/LG or anyone who supports open architecture.
G2X is surely tempting but I'd wait for a review to compare camera samples gps lcd etc.
The review from gsmarena for optimus2x doesn't look like camera and display are anything special...it says the lcd is not as good as iphone 4 despite using same technology and teh camera has a blue tint/less saturation and colors don't look very appealing.
Nevertheles, LG has put out a solid device and definitely heading in the right direction.
I'm considering this also. I'm kinda tired of the vibrant and if you have a family plan you can use the other lines upgrades for smart phones if you go through radio shack.

lol good grammer!!!!!!
well the SgS II is my option... honestly yes samsung is ****ed up on how they release updates/sources for there phones but SUPER AMOLED! your ****ing high if your gonna give that up... my brother has a Droid x.... i had a HD2 and then a HD7 and after 8 months of my vibrant i wont switch to LG/HTC... . and **** HTC ohhh cool you get updates sooner but the boot loader will take a few months to crack... it took a month just for them to crack the droid X ( let alone the 4.3' screen on that droid ****ing blows... big LCD no clarity?)
**** any think other than SuperAMOLED!
the galaxy s/SGS II's are the BEST phone for your money and proven to preform... ive soft bricked my phone several times learning how to flash/mod
my brother had to get a 500 droid after he bricked his....
if your sick of your vibrant give it to me.... or atleast consider SgS II
as for the cost of the SGS II its most likely gonne be 500-600 bucks WITHOUT CONTRACT/UPGRADE... so more in the 200-300 range.... Gx2 LMFAO my old nokia flip phone has a better camera and screen...
tmobile may not get the galaxys2.
the g2x has only 512mb of ram. the pyramid has 1gb.
so i can see waiting.
unfortunetly i have the money now.
so if apr 12th doesnt include a world release of the pyramid i may have to go g2x.
the screen is comparible to samoled.
not quite as good but still just slightly lesser.

im considering this phone too. Samsung GS2 might take a while for T-mo since they have to add the bands for t-mo's 4G and with the update history samsung has, not really excited about it. The HTC pyramid interested me before, but now i could care less about it. The G2x will have vanilla android, which they stated they chose vanilla android in order to get updates out quickly, so we'll see how that goes. I dont have to renew till november, so we'll see what happens. I just wish the G2x had the NOVA screen. Maybe by the time I can upgrade they'll be more options.
You could get Thrill 4G, it has NOVA screen and 3D recording. It also has OMAP which is faster than Tegra. You'll need to buy it off contract when ATT releases it,

I agree with you 100% except for the part about Samsung supporting an open platform. Do we know yet for sure how open the Galaxy S2 will be? I'm worried Samsung will be forced to become Motorola by the carriers

I'm waiting for Intel's i7 mobile to come out... last I heard it is due Q5 of 2011. The first phone featuring the processor is going to have active cooling with running fans. The prototype looks bad ass. It's like a classic American muscle car with a large vent/intake on the hood for its turbos, except on a phone.
For all those people who want to upgrade, but still have a while left on their original contract....
If you call up customer service, and tell them you are thinking about jumping ship, and want to know when your contract is up, they will usually allow you an upgrade, and restart your contract the day you buy the upgrade. I've done this twice now, and I'll do it again when the lgx2 comes out. (you have to do this with customer service, and not at the store. I called up there and *****ed about my vibrant's gps, etc, and they said I could do an upgrade if I wanted.)
I would if I could

Hopefully Sprint will get a version. I know it's gsm, but I hold out hope for a dual core snapdragon.
I still think the Galaxy phones with the HummingBird and GPU will own for quite a while. Technically your hero is dual Core already. Just one core is really tiny and slow (modem core).
By the time that comes out, something better will be on the horizon like it is right now. Phone technology is advancing fast. I'm going for the galaxy.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm 33 years old. My first computer was an Tandy 1000. My next computer was a Pentium 166. I remember when processors were coming out every month or so, edging the cap up just a little bit higher. I remember them having a starting price worth more than the car I owned at the time.
So pick a phone, buy it and be happy with it for a year. If you're always waiting for the next best thing, you'll never buy anything. If you always get pissy when you buy something and something better comes out, just stop buying.

im actually thinking about giving the evo a second chance now that 2.2. is out for it. i now have an extended battery for it too. i won't touch a samsung phone.
Why you would consider the Samsung over the evo. The battery life is not much greater on the galaxy S series. Got a few co workers with both version (vibrant, captivate). We compare and contrast every day. They are all great phones but would not swap none 4 the other. Plus the evo got that 4g along with a front facing cam only if u were thinking of the epic 4g.

I can't imagine needing a dual-core CPU phone, how much quicker than a modded N1 or Evo can you really get, not saying I wont buy one when they are out but still..
The Sprint Galaxy S has a section on XDA... I might go for that. I'm not picky about what brand name the phone is as long as I can crack smack hack and whack.
I'm 25 and my first computer was a commador 64. I didn't get another until Pentium 4 was out. That's a big jump. Yup always something a little better around the corner.
I can't wait till I can run Wine and play my game on my phone.
As far as saying you don't need faster than the evo or n1, it depends on what you are trying to run. Try putting windows 7 on that old comadore. What's the famous quote by bill gates saying computers would never need more than a few megs of ram?
And I wouldn't want to get a Samsung either but I do like the proc/gpu and physical keyboard

I'm up for upgrade in December from my Hero, but hopefully this rumored HTC "Sabor" is coming out around that time..
Supposedly it's the "Evo 2" and sounds VERY nice.
Link missing, since I can't post it... Recap below:
5. HTC SABOR- HOLY CRAP. Do you remember me talking about the HTC Scorpion, a rumored 1.5 ghz device? Well Sprint gave that one up. Sad? NOOOOO! Instead they are getting the HTC Sabor (code name ofcourse) that is a 2ghz (or possible dual core depending on who you talk to) device to compete with the 2ghz moto device coming to Verizon wireless late this year!!!! THANKYOU SPRINT?! This change was recently made as this phone will be the successor of the Evo and will hit shelves either Q4 2010 or Q1 2011. This is all dependent on the moto release date. Be looking for an over 1000 res screen (possibly that 1270 res Google is allowing), android 3.0 (gingerbread), 2 cams one being a 10 mp, 1080p recording,& kickstand =]. This device will essentially be the Evo 2, and is rumored to be the gingerbread flagship device. Naturally WiMAX is expected. More on this one hopefully coming soon.

At 20-30 secs in, they mention it has an IPS LCD display. LG makes the Retina display for Apple and a quick google of IPS LCD pretty much only mentions the Retina.
I know the LG Black has that new screen but if the O2X has a retina, I'd bite.
Yeah, I like the LG too.
How much Ram does it have, does anyone know? Can't seem to get a definitive answer anywhere.
I'm still leaning a little more towards the Atrix though.
Atrix>X2: Higher resolution, much bigger battery, gorilla glass, FM radio, 16 gig internal vs 8, plus all the docks.
X2>Atrix: Higher res camera - pics and videos
Nice to see the Atrix is coming with all sorts of codecs included too. If they would take away motoblur and slap a xenon camera on it, it would have (on paper) been the ultimate device. Still kinda is... The only kind of let down I see is that the screen doesn't appear to be as good as the LG, the colours from what I can tell don't seem to be as vibrant. Hope I'm wrong...
Atrix has Motoblur. I'm not a fan of custom skins due to software updates taking forever, but Blur=Bad.
This will be my next phone too.. I was thinking of getting the Nexus S, but the lack of expansion slot turned me off...
Atrix is Motorola and Verizon, guys--the 4G is LTE, not HSPA+. Not T-Mobile.
Knowing Motorola, it's got blur puked all over it and has a locked bootloader. No thanks.
With the specs on that phone, and tha dockability of it, i'd take it with blur 1.0 much less the current one. The current blur isn't that bad. It's a keeper as far as i'm concerned...

If this was a stock device (like I read the device was initially going to be), I would have waited outside on launch. Regardless, I am planning on waiting till after MWC to pick my newest poison.
I want to see if HTC has anything up their sleeve for T-Mo. I hate Sense but they update their phones. ::looks at Evo::
holy ****, a phone that runs nvidia graphics?
i read on the mobile buzz widget that tmo will probably get the lg black while att will probably get the 2x, i hope the rumor isnt true but we all know that tmo almost always gets the short end of the stick.
You guys do know that this phone beastly or not eden beats our galaxy s device when it comes to graphics. On nenamark1, galaxy s scored less than 5 fps lower than the optimus 2x on 2.1. I'm pretty sure my phoney is future enough. Not worth to upgrade for any phone. Also ip as is never as good as the super amoled for games movies and anything like that.
Id like to get my hands on the Sony Zues 1.... or PSP phone as its dubbed

Had to post to fellow nexers. Lost my sexy nexy n am now in position to buy out right my next baby. Choices r evo 3d, g2x now (been waiting atrix, n evo. Its hard since I've waited so long for LG star/g2x. G2x has vanilla but rom changing either way. Thanks for n e feed back ^_^
via light blue yoshied magic
I'm torn between the G2X or the SGS2.
The Atrix eh. I think the dock is cool, but would never use it. I think motorola has the bootloader on lockdown like other models.
I like the Super Amoled Plus of the SGS2 but no Tegra means no Nvidia love. Also since most Honeycomb devices use Tegra, it might not be fully supported.
I was thinking that I didn't know if I could ever love another screen that wasn't amoled... but a coworker has a G2 and the screen is very crisp. Unless you are purposely comparing black levels, the SLCD might have the 1up.
Maybe we'll get lucky and the SGS2 will launch with a Tegra chipset. They said some markets will get them. Maybe wait and buy a Tegra2 SGS2? Best of both?
What ever Cyanogen moves on to, real talk lol.
Did you have insurance on the N1 or is this next purchase out of your own pocket?
I've never had a smartphone that wasn't made by HTC and I don't know if that will ever change. Still waiting for their next stock phone but if I had to get something now(well, soon anyway), I'd definitely go for the evo 3d. However, buying a dual core phone right now seems like such a waste. Gingerbread does not properly support it and you never know if and when these phones will get updates. I wish the nexus S hadn't been such a let down.. but I'll be happy with my N1 for a while longer
Thanks ALL for replies ^__^
@player911-not big on samsung but maybe. otimus 3d is another ive reasearched.thks!
@pew - lol
@system - no lost my n1 new years been with old magic since
@smaskell - i would be too =(
have discount and could get atrix & laptop dock for 700 outright and school with a laptop with no battery is really starting to sway me. I've SCOURED it's forums on XDA and can get a rom i'd be happy with already and the dock has some really good highlights (ex. opening your home XP pc in a window and fullscreen it for a specific program, etc.) I'd miss the .3" extra screen real estate but eh. No 3d like evo or optimus 3d, but it have to be at a certain distance and my television isnt 3d so no good there. atrix will mirror to my 73" hd tv. though Switch to att is a pill i'd have to swallow but employee line helps there ^__^ and it's lte will be backwards compatible so will just need a sim not a new phone (G'Luck verizon). Would like to have htc on tmobile but I cant wait for ever and i lost my nexus New Years so I've been relying on my htc magic since then =( may wait till april 20th to see what LG says this time but prob. biting the motorolla bullet tomorrow
I personally will never buy a Samsung smartphone, tablet or anything that recieves updates again. HTC's build quality demolishes Samsung anyways.

Really? Since when? HTC's are the ones with the screens falling off and hinges that open when the device is tilted. I haven't heard of any 'build quality' issues with any samsungs?!
The only problem with sammy is the delay in receiving 'official' updates but who uses stock anyway?
The specs and features of the sgs2 out shine any phone on the market, the only thing it is lacking is a qhd res but that isn't important to most people, I mean who cares about screen res when you can 1080p output via hdmi.
What you should really be worrying about is which phone supports wiimote and can do full hdmi mirroring.
Wait for HTC pyramid supposing the rumors are true!

I've seen a lot of talk about new phones but is there a successor to the Samsung Epic?
I talked my wife into buying the Epic as well and we love them but we always keep our eyes on that 2 year mark (which is coming up this Summer)... wondering if we are going to stay in place with the Epics or save for something else.
We are particularly fond of the physical keyboard... don't want to jump to a phone without one.
Love reading all the great threads on here... keep up the great info.
s
The EVO 3D seems to have caught the Epic community's eye. The Epic can do nearly everything that the new EVO can, except the Evo has a better CPU (dual core), TV out (hdmi), and it's 3D option.
No top tier phones with keyboards have been announced yet by Sprint. Samsung has created the "Galaxy S II" which could be used to produce an Epic 2 but that is between Samsung & Sprint to decide.
I believe Sprint is releasing a windows phone 7 HTC device with keyboard, but I'm not interested in wp7.
How are you hitting the 2-year mark when the Epic was released last summer?

Wait...this is Samsung, God forbid they put out an up to date phone.
I know it hasn't been released yet. But I/O is here in what 4 days?
I theorize 3.1 because it will be a merge of the Tablet and Phone branches of Android, and I doubt they would down grade the version number of the tablets. so the number would have to be >=3.1
Yeah the 4.3" screen may be a problem for those looking for an Epic 2. I think it would be absolutely huge. I personally am going for a non-kb device next. After all, the KB on the epic was pretty useless with all the skipped characters which forced me to become comfortable with swype.
I'd be all over the Evo 3D if it had an amoled display. Any phone w/o amoled will need to have very strong contrast levels with very low black's otherwise it will annoy the heck out of my to pay for a phone upgrade with a lesser quality screen.
I figure I'll be on the Epic until November 2012 since they removed the 1 year upgrade from my plan. At that point I may just keep it and flash over to Boost mobile for the uber cheap monthly rates.
I bought my Epic outright... used... I jumped into Sprint service with a blackberry curve... bought an EVO and Epic cash/used... but in excellent shape.
I've got another year before I start to look,everything else will be "obsolete"

I was looking at the evo3d but i am going to wait till the phone is launched first only because i think the phone is going to be locked down alot and i think root will take some time. I will probably be looking at the gsII. I want my amoled screen and 4.3 is an awesome screen size for me. Plus sammy has done pretty good about not locking phones down so far.
I've got till early Fall of next year before I start looking at amazing phones again (just think what they'll have then...lol)
BUT, if I were looking for a new phone, the EVO 3D is definitely the way to go.

Is the Hercules the name for the new Nexus. If I were going to get a new phone I would get the Nexus. I personally have a Vibrant T-959 but all my friends have the Nexus. I love that phone and will probably get the new Nexus this fall.
Same in the dilemma as you. Going to wait and see when the prices drop. My vibrant is doing almost everything I ask for except the flash camera and GPS.
Yeah I know that's why I'm hesitating, my vibrant with Trigger 3.3 + Bullet is plenty quick and everything works just right, including GPS (quick to lock & spot on). That dual core processor is tempting on the Sensation but I've heard a lot of mixed reviews of it.
I'm in the same boat and am waiting to see what the next Nexus phone holds. After this phone and the mytouch slide I had before, I'm done waiting for carrier updates and locked bootloaders. Nexus for me from here on out.

I agree on both points. BUT, guys, remember the hype on Sensation? Then when they bit, it had mixed reviews.
"... Sensation is a BEAST of a phone! Tops all others when it arrives in the US!"
Yeah. I heard it before. I'm waiting for a Nexus line or whenever there's a bit better review of the Hercules. Besides, the rumor that the Herc is coming this fall is just pure speculation.
Either that, or wait for the SGS II 1.4Ghz to lower thier prices. Since we'll end up becoming AT&T soon with the merger, SGSII 1.4Ghz version might fit, so it's best to wait out on a lot of things nowadays. Rumor also dictates that the SGS II 1.4Ghz will have mixed bands of TMO and AT&T.
Aaaahhh, rumors. Hate to love them, Love to hate them. I'll believe it when it's on tv or media. Until then, waiting it out really will come to play for my next "Beast".
wait a few months... see what comes out (Hercules)... then wait another month or two for prices to drop and bugs to get worked out!
If we get Gingerbread like rumored, that will add another month or two of enjoyment to our phones... and the Netflix app being released for our phones (works on mine, stock 2.2 + Voodoo KB1 kernel)... HOURS of endless enjoyment to hold you over until the next wave of goodies comes out! And maybe prices to be amazing over holidays!
