Which one would you choose? The 3.0 sense on the sensation looks so nice, if you have not seen videos of it you should definitely see it. The g2x is stock vanilla froyo, but it will gb soon after launch, also it has the tegra 2 processor and the sensation has tge quallcomm processor. Its very hard for me to choose.

G2X bootloader is wide open (Cyanogen's next device!), Sensation is locked. So choice is pretty obvious.
I haven't decided yet. I need to see some reviews and "usability benchmarks" (ie: how well the devices respond in general usage). The Vibrant puts down good benchmarks, but fails in everyday usability (it's laggy to respond, even with bionix, voodoo kernels, overclock). I think Samsung's source is to blame; they just can't write good code.

This is a non-issue for me. I'm getting fairly well tired of constantly flashing devices, downtime, **** being broken, waiting for code, etc. I just want a device that works.
Definitely the sensation. Better screen more ram, gingerbread and its one sexy beast of a phone. Since its an htc device then it'll definitely get cyanogenmod

In that case, if you want big, fast, and strongly supported phones, by a Nexus. Sure，the G2x and Sensation are both good, but Nexus phones will always be the ones to last the longest and be supported.

The g2x is pretty much a stock and it has a dual core processor. Also the sensation is a htc phone so that phone will get supported by cyanogen and other devs as well.

Don't get the G2x stock android messed up with Google's stock Android. The only true stock android imo is one in which Google controls updates, otherwise you are at the mercy of your carrier and manufacturer. The G2 has "stock android" and has yet to receive gingerbread.
G2x. For me due to it being stock. Well its either g2x or gs2, more than likely they both wont have locked bootloaders

Yeah but that's why we flash in the first place, to get our phones working the way they should have shipped. Though I understand, I'm slowing down a bit on the constant flashing. I just wouldn't expect a phone that works just the way you want out of the box. Though to answer your question, the G2x seems to have the lasting power, with vanilla Android, Tegra 2, a swift 2.3 update planned, and an unlocked bootloader if/when support is dropped and you decide to flash it to extend its life. However, I've heard some QC issues, bugs with it, not that HTC doesn't have its own problems with that.
Does the g2x have its own forum now? I saw the optimus 2x forums, but I dont know if its for the g2x. I wonder if its already out in europe because there are roms for the phone.

toss up between ns and vibrant. i don't care about sd (i have 5+Gb free on my vibrant with the stock sd card so space doesn't matter to me), but 720p video recording is nice, and i don't really care about strict vanilla android, but i would prefer to have gb and know i will be getting 2.4 or 3.0, whichever is honeycomb for phones.
otherwise, i don't think another phone thats out compares as a complete package. sure they may linpack higher, or the iphone 4 has a better screen (debatable?), but the vibrant can oc well, has the samoled, has good sound, good dev support, etc. though hspa+ would be a benefit, it's not something i care about right now cause tmob hasn't even launched hspa+ in my area, yet.
upcoming phones i'd be interested in are the lg x2, atrix, and vibrant+. i won't get any of them, i'll wait for the next round, but those are probably the front runners coming soon. and the atrix won't be tmob, which is a downside cause tmob is cheap and even regular hspa in my area is widespread and very fast.

Hello,
Just wanted your thoughts on the Official Gingerbread for Vibrant.
Do you think it will ever come?
Do you even care?
Any feedback is appreciated .
Cm7 is gingerbread so its already out lol
Need help with cm7? Pm me I can try to help
I don't think about it because I don't care. Gingerbread for the Vibrant 3G is the last thing on Samsungs list.
i have cm7 so i could care less! i will be getting the hercules in a few months anyway
The Gingerbread ROMS are already pretty smooth and nice so I no longer care about the stock one which they seem that don't even WANT to update.
Whatev's when I get the chance I will be buying the SGSII.

Probably not coming since the Galaxy S 4G is essentially the successor to the original Vibrant. It would be a terrible sales decision for T-Mobile to support the older model, especially when the two are almost identical except for 4G, an FFC, and the lack of internal storage on the 4G.

Sorry, but current dual cores devices are useless and equally as fast as the Nexus S since ICS is yet to be released to optimize Android for multicore devices. You may as well get the one phone guaranteed to get ICS which will increase the Nexus's speed as well. The G2X looks like its not getting ICS and the Sensation would be bogged down by Sense again. Galaxy S2, maybe.
No offense because the 2.3 Roms out right now are smooth. But they straight murder the battery life. Why have a mobile device if you a charge every 8 hours.

No, I held out hope because Samsung promised and promised and promised, and there was a BIG media hullabaloo about the lack of timeliness on the 2.2 update.
Samsung has had exactly ONE press release saying they're putting 2.3 on "all" Galaxy S phones and nobody in the media is talking about a lack of update. Basically, it's as if no-one cares, Samsung included. Only a few people on forums are making any fuss about it, and everybody knows forums in general fly fairly low under the radar.
I still say we're not going to see it, and even if Samsung delivers it before the end of the year, it's far too little far too late. I have no desire to reward their failures and apathy with more purchases.
edit: Oh, and you can thank the ****ing SGS 4G for the lack of an update. IT'S getting 2.3 leaks left and ****ing right, and the rumor is from devs in the know that there isn't even 2.3 source code in existence for the Vibrant.

You are right the good thing about dual cores is one core is incharge of one process and other core incharge of another process. This would probably be best for me as I am constantly studying in school, and switch between apps really fast and single core just cant take from browser to xxxx app to xxxx app and back to browser without it getting stuck!?
If you got like 15 apps and just use it for ROMS and GPS and shiny fast things then by all means stick with the Galaxy S.

Manufacturers don't lack on updates to be precise carriers lack on updates. If certain carrier bloatware doesn't work on your device because an update. Your update will be delayed if everyone would get updates from strictly Google everyone would have updates. If samsung wants to push this as a galaxy 2 they probably already have updates in store for this device as well as the other variants. Touchwiz has gotten lighter than sense. It doesn't take over your whole phone like htc sense does. Let's not mention the facts that qualcomm processors have a tons of support due to past htc devices. The processor in the hercules is almost identical to the touchpad and sensation. Look how much development the touchpad has gotten. Look at the sensation development. Just because you have 15-20 devs on one phone doesn't always necessary mean the development is good. We could only have 1 dev but he could push of quality roms and kernels. ROMs won't vary much anyway mostly stock roms and cm7 kang roms and miui.

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.
