How is the g2x compared to my old vibrant?
Faster, but yet not bug free! I got mine at the store! Returning my first one tomorrow, having data issues!
Nothing new to me, went through 3 Vibrants before I found a good one! So here I go again!
It's got pros and cons, but overall I like it!
Can't wait to start flashing Roms on it!

crap... i ordered mine not from tmobile.. if i have to return mine to get a good one it's going to take forever And i was hearing mixed review on the LCD vs SAMOLED.. some say it's better some say it's not..
The vibrant has a better screen, but just slightly. The vibrant does blacks better, but it's really a close call. It's not enough to make a difference.

I had data issues with my vibrant after I got it, it was tmo and they came out and fixed the tower. I think you might be jumping the gun on returning it but hey keep returning it tell its right.
Heard it a few people have been having reboot issues and light bleed. But the one I looked at, in the tmobile store didn't have any light bleed issues. Not sure about the reboot issue people have been claiming to have.

Thanks, but it was recommended by Tmo technical support! I wouldn't return it if I didn't have to or without trouble shooting it first!
It's a hassle, but worth it at the end to get a proper working device!
This is the reason I've never ordered online, because if I have a problem I can always exchange it right away rather then wait for Ups!
I'd probably pick one up if I was eligible for an upgrade.
I've heard of data issues, battery drain issues, screen problems, rebooting and high temperature problems. It seems to be getting updates quick... source is already released with tweets about gingerbread within the month. Even if it isn't a giant killer of a phone, its still great.

That's the reason why I decided to jump the gun. Good devs like cynogen and krylon are working on it already. My g2x only cost me around 150 with upgrade from Amazon wireless

It's a Samsung phone. Even if you regret it when it's released, you will stop regretting when the sgs2 users are stuck with whatever version it ships with and updates (if it gets any) will be months after the next Android release. The g2x, being stock, will get updates much faster and with the source code already released will have a great dev community.
I'm finally happy with the Vibrant running Bionix, but this is definitely my last Samsung phone.

I was gonna go pick up a G2X this morning when I get off work but I've been reading in their section that there seems to be a horrid battery drain issue with a lot of users and the source of the problem has yet to be determined. I got my Vibrant while it still had a battery drain issue but fortunately it was fixed shortly after me getting the phone... Wont be putting myself through that hell again so until the phones software matures more I have no problem getting on with my Vibrant.
G2x looks good but im waiting on the SGS 2 just seems like a better phone for the money.
I'm lucky enough to have a buddy that works for T-Mo. He's going to give me a G2X this coming Sunday. At least this way if it sucks I can always just slide my sim card back into the good old Vibrant. From what I've read it's pretty much stock android like the Nexus S so the upgrades and rom development should be pretty rapid.
Hello all, I'm from over at the shift section lol and no I'm not trolling. I was wanting to see if ANYONE has an extra epic, or if anyone has an epic they don't want anymore. I'm trying to find one VERY reasonably priced. The condition doesn't matter as long as it works and the screen is better than decent. Someone please help me out here I'm dying to have that samoled and used my damn upgrade on the shift.

Sorry bub, I love my Samsung Epic. I am running it with Gingerbread. You know what the best thing is some dude is working on port HTC Sense to the Samsung Epic. Dude you are screwed. Try posting an ad on craigslist too, if you have not already done this. You might find some sucker who has the Samsung Epic with Enclair. You can probably tell them that your phone is better because it has a better operating system or some crap that that. Good luck they say a sucker is born every minute.
P.S. Maybe this person might possibly sell you his Epic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1086880

I think you should try BestBuy, they're giving out Epics for FREE w/ new contract/upgrade. Buying an unactivated used one can cost quite a bit still. Might as wel grab yourself a new one.

DInc2. A quick search would have provided the answer much faster.
Not a fact.....they the inctedibles in stock. Best way to tell is to file a claim and see what they offer. Mine was. Dinc 2 for 5 days now its an original. Bottom line if they have a incredible that's what you'll get. Changes day to day. Good luck.

What the guy above said. Most are getting The Dinc2 but sometimes you'll get lucky and get the Dinc1 since they seem to be in and out of stock.
Yeah my gf got a Dinc1 not too long ago from them... It could also be a regional thing too. I'm sure she'll be more than happy to trade someone for a Dinc2 though

Are you talking about at Sprint or Best Buy? Also since they are doing away with the Premiere program you will be with that phone for 20 months. It seems like a good phone but just seen a glimpse of the Galaxy III for 2012 and may just wait. Anxious to see what the Devs will do with Gingerbread source code.
Are you going for it?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
No I'm not getting it but was curious how they would handle the 75 upgrade as sprint no longer let's you get gold status as of 10-1 as of my talk with them earlier.. I had my eyes on the nexus prime or new quad core phones in 1st 1/4 next year. My 150 upgrade isn't till 8/1/12 btw

Personally Im probably going to wait a bit and see if there are any issues with the phone. I've made the mistake of buying from the first run before.

Pretty sure since yyour current contract was signed before the change, it'll stay 22 months. Your NEXT contract will entitle you to the 20month upgrade.

No since I was gold and they changed it to silver and now dropping premiere altogether so apparently this is a benefit not guaranteed by contract.

Same exact boat ride here - signed up for Sprint slightly more than a year ago when the Epic first released. The wife and I are starting to see our phones show signs of age and both want to upgrade to the new touch. But not for $500+ each!!

EVO 4G will be right next the C64 and its 64K ram expansion unit and tape drive within my personal museum. As for next phone..who knows.. too early to tell.
Is HTC gonna get hit with all the patent mess from Apple? I lost track of what was going on but last I saw, Apple was suing over a patent on the ability to click on a phone number within a webpage and have it dial the number. At the time, it wasn't going to affect imports for a few months. Anyone heard anything?
The galaxy nexus looks pretty appealing. Although I would like to stick with HTC. Hopefully they come out with a phone that has a screen like the nexus or the epic touch.
I get one more Premier Gold 1-year upgrade on April 1st. If the Galaxy Nexus is out by then, I'll get one. Otherwise, probably the Epic Touch 4G.
I wish HTC would come out with something hot between now and then.

Gold Premier (10+ years) customers were given one last one-year upgrade if they were close to their date. Don't remember the time frame, but my acct reflects this. Got my EVO last April, and I'm eligible 04/01/2012.
They ended one-year upgrades for Silver Premier customers last April. Gold customers ended 12/31/2011, with one more upgrade granted.
