So I have found a site (don't remember where) saying that this phone will be released feb. 2010 to the uk. Can anyone confirm this and also is it going to be released to the us. I remember reading that it had the t-mobile 3g band, correct me if I'm wrong, so doesn't this mean us in the united states should be receiving it? Or am I just out of my mind.
They say that it could be on T mobile or ATT or possible both.
This link goes into detail. Hope this helped.

Looks pretty sweet, hopefully tmo us gets it.
Yes it does look pretty sweet. Even though it has no physical keyboard it does have snapdragon, among many other great features,which in my eyes are much better. I have been doing some research on it and sites are offering presales but with the tag of nearly a grand my only hope is that t-mobile has been holding out for this device in lieu of others (droid) and this is why they have offered nothing to great since the release of the dream.
Do all Android phones have a compass built in? I rarely see it mentioned in any specs.

So what with the X10? they haven't released X2 yet... I dunno the bearing, is this some kind of an internal phone model sales contest?

Well its much more powerful phone than its predecessor. X2 will probably be a more incremental upgrade

Its Xperia NOT Xpervia
Checked out the X1. I still like the HTC Touch Cruise better. No sliding keyboard.
Just my Opinion.
X1 all the way!
wow.. the Xperia x1 looks amazing!!! does anyone know the release date here in America? this is probably going to be my next phone.
which phone?
If the Xperia X1 lives up to the specs I have seen that would be my choice. If not (money no object) I think the Athena. But I would have to take my time and try different devices. I would likely have a larger device (Athena or Imate 7150 or 9502) for the power when I have the storage space to carry it, with a smaller device for everyday carry.

According to Engadgetmobile the X1 will be available during the second half of 2008. http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/10/sonyericsson-xperia-x1-qwerty-with-windows-mobile/.
For now, I'd go with the HTC Kaiser. I think it's a solid device. I got mines a few weeks ago and loving it. I already flashed it several times with dutty's roms, even switched carriers (tmobile to AT&T) because I was fed up with the mms issues I was having with the 6.1 roms for my herald. Since I switched carriers, I haven't experienced no more mms problems, and enjoy 3g connection, which is much faster than tmobile's edge. Just my two cents
Like everyone else has said, the X1.
Why? Basically, better features, 400MHz, all the good stuff, ya heard? lol
One thing in particular...I heard (actual read, rumors maybe?) is that this phone is going to sell for about $300-400. Do you have any idea how great that sounds? It's even cheaper than the iPhone, but let's not get my hopes up.

Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, that was just a stupid post I put earlier about the phone "going to [be] sold for about $300-400."

Wow I would pick the Xperia X1 if I have $$ to spare
BUt idon´t like the dpad and joystick.. that really looks awful!!
but the system features are great..
I want to buy HTC X7510(16GB flash,WM6.1,128MB RAM). But, it is too expensive! I m now going to for cheaper ipaq 210. I'm deconverging. I'll be using herald as my phone but for pocket pc related tasks, I'll have the mighty ipaq for those purposes. And since herald will be there with me always, I'll have a 'backup' pocket pc too
To Gregory Q. Brown (Motorola CEO) and the whole company:
You suck. You make me (us) puke. I (we) bought my Milestone and I'm (we're) really angry about it. 2.1 is BUGGY and 2.2 has been initially planned for Q3 2010 then planned for "early" Q1 2011. Are you clowns or what? That's all. I'm (we're) done with you.
So people: who of you are going to buy another Motorola product now that we know how they threat their customers? Please vote in the poll and post a comment.
"I'm as mad as hell and I'm not taking this ANYMORE!" - Mr. Beale
Well, yeah.. they did screwed up a bit but the bottom line is that their products fits ME. The accesories, the hw keyboards I can't live without... all that makes it a deal. Barely, yes. Bootloader locked? wouldn't be a problem to me if the just updated as all other oses update. As os x, linux and windows update.
I have ms1 and played with ms2. I really like them both.
End.
Well I appreciate your honest opinion but think about them. They're threating us like sh*t. I agree when you say that Motorola products' quality is pretty EXCELLENT but this isn't true when it comes to software! And software is almost 60% of a smartphone. And, IMHO, if 60% of a product sucks, well, the whole product sucks too. I don't want to be left on the edge of the "development road" only because of Motorola laziness!
Well i dont think milestone will be getting froyo,thats what they say......
Sent from my Milestone using Tapatalk
After owning both the Milestone and the XT720, I can safely say I will never want to buy another Motorola product again.
no but im going to buy the droid 2 global so i can use ATT 3G and have a free bootloader!
Yes, i will buy another motorola product, but not a phone
No, the music skipping bug that was supposed to be fixed by 2.1 still affects me, the closed bootloader, the 30 fps cap in 2.1 is also annoying and the 2.2 update hasn't been realeased yet.
In the other hand the OS is awesome, I know for sure that the next phone I buy is going to be an android but not from motorola.

Lol! XD Obviously I meant a product related to the "smartphone" category!
BTW is there a way to change the title? I replaced Motorola with Milestone! -_-''
Well I too am pissed off by the promise of updates while we still don't get them. Remember it said "Flash-ready"? Still lacking that.
After seeing what Motorola did with the Droid X and 2, my D1 will be the last Motorola smartphone I get and will keep it until it either dies or I'm forced to a LTE phone.
Totally feel for you Milestone guys though.
in fact,i always want to buy another phone like "Milestone 2 - ME722" which with android 2.2 system.
but, no enough money NOW

So in the future you will be disappointed because Motorola won't upgrade your Milestone 2 to Gingerbread or Honeycomb...Trust me: buy other brand phones!
I sold my Milestone and I got a HD2...GUYS! IT ROCKS! Gingerbread is already almost FULLY-FUNCTIONAL! Only GPS doesn't work (which is a Gingerbread's issue not a cooked rom's one...). And soon we'll get Ubuntu and Meego running PERFECTLY!
People this is just an advice: LEAVE MOTOROLA ALONE! It doesn't deserve our money... At least HTC, Samsung etc. they let us doing what we want without any limits!
Motorola's Phones are very good devices as hardware. Milestone is my first Motorola and I am very satisfied with its engineering. But they pretty much suck on supporting their products.. Gingerbread is out and officially we are still waiting for FroYo.
I would buy again a Motorola, but just the much-anticipated Tablet that the will launch.
For my next Phone I will definitely choose a Google Phone, so I can have every latest update in a couple of days. A true dev phone.
Well, as I said, I LOVED Milestone hardware quality but its "closeness" is way more annoying than having a physical keyboard or a gummy back surface...
ABOUT TIME TMO!! I cant wait for this. I definitely would pay top dollar for this phone.

2X.
Frankly, G2x should blow Atrix out of the space.
I think it does!! hopefully they remove lg's UI and keep it stock!! either way, its still better than motoblur!!

Nice
A lot of people are speculating that T-Mobile changed the name to G2X to match the other "G" series phones. The same people have inferred that this means te phone will be stock Android. Hopefully this is the case! I will definitely pick it up.
Currently using the Nexus One and MyTouch 4G, I would jump on this new phone in a heart beat. I hope the LG doesn't have that cheap plastic feel, I enjoy a quality built device, good hardware goes a very long way in the way I choose my phones. The Nexus One to date has the best feeling in your hands, I still use it as my daily phone. HTC builds quality phones, I have sent my N1 back to HTC several times for the screen issue, they fixed it, changed the mother board and many other parts. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase another device from HTC.
now the question is when is the release date?
I heard later this month. I hope so, I am trading out my Nexus S to get the cash together and will be using an iPhone 4 till its released. :-( I plan on getting it on day one.
how does it take to get the unlock code from the website services?
can anyone give me an estimated time for that?
guyz i ll be in us between 12-18 march, hope it ll be released and get the code in very soon, dont want to buy an atrix

Awesome that TMo is picking up O2X as their next G-series device.
Hope it will be launched with stock Android - porting that ROM to European device will be a piece of cake!
O2X + stock Gingerbread = total win
Some Tmobile reps over at Tmonews have posted that the LG reps have come to their stores to demo the phone and that is stock android, has 4G and it is fast! Also the release date is supposedly April 20th alongside the G-slate. Heh can't wait to get this.

Awesome! You American people are lucky
I made summary of current informations about TMo G2X, visit my blog if you wish to read it
http://mobileboard.blogspot.com/2011/03/more-informations-about-tmobile-g2x.html
I spoke to a Tmo rep yesterday...and probably the first guy who was totally knowledgeable about HD2 and its capabilities and such. I've asked several reps about the G2x and none of them seem to be even remotely aware. But after talkin for a while with this guy, I asked him about the G2x...and he said since I know this much, there's no harm confirming the arrival of the G2x...he said the launch shud be with 3-4 weeks after the launch at UK. More than likely, the speculated April 20th seems plausible. Can't wait!!
Is 4g confirmed? Would really suck if this phone had everything but 4g speeds
http://www.bgr.com/2011/03/22/t-mobile-g2x-android-smartphone-hands-on/#
I can't wait for this phone I had my doubts until they announced the fact that its going to be vanilla android. None that mask crap to bog down the phone. This will make it easier to root and develope for. Also LG should be able to release timley Android updates such as 2.3 and 2.4.

2.3 is almost finished, lg is on the process of testing it on the device already. I heard it somewhere. So cheers!
yep I've read that as well I can not wait for the phone to come out. Now ppl need to buy it so Cyanogen will adopt it.
Looking at the bands this phone will run on if I'm not mistaking it looks like it will work on both T-Mobile and AT&T's 3G service. Can anyone either confirm or deny this. Wouldn't that be great, not having to worry about the phone turning nto a paper weight after the buy out.

Me too! then the developer community will be greater
Do you think the G2x will ship with an unlockable bootloader (like the Nexus phones)? If I can flash ROMs and have full control of my phone, this will be my next device.
I'm thinking that anything "G" branded will be embraced by develpoer community.....Please cyanogen
Here's a great initial review by MobileTechReview of T-Mobile LG G2X. I can't wait to get my hands on it http://www.mobiletechreview.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Number=40455
http://www.facebook.com/motorola?sk=wall&filter=1 click the link people like it and comment on it.
I have seen first hand proof of this working. I had an evo 3d. Htc decided all futre devices would have locked bootliaders well that made alot of people angry. Someone posted a thread on xda suggesting we let htc know that is not gna fly. So it turnd out thousands of people got on there facebook wall and twitter. Guess what the next day htc released a statement saying that they wanted too keep there coustamers happy and that the bootloader would be unlocked. They were. Id like to be able too have a device and not have too get a new one juzt because moto or htc or sammy wants too put them out constantly get people too buy them and then ditch them and out out another. The atrix is 100 percent capable of runing ics and theres no excuae for it l not too recieve it just because moto wants people too buy new devices every couple months. I know many many people feel the same way well as i said we have the power too change that if people would stop bickering and take it seriously. And also if moto started supporting devices longer not just bug fixes but the new android flavors. Id definately make my next device a moto it would do nothing but benefit them
Why are we discussing/petitioning something that we don't know? Has it been set in stone that manufacturers will not support us anymore or is this all stemming from paranoia?
Because it is the trend. And the atrix 2 has been released already. All the manufactures with the exception of sammy have been doing this more and more lately abandoning. Devices. And pumping out new ones. At a very fast pace
So you are saying they are not going to support the atrix anymore since they released the atrix 2? I'd rather wait till this actually happens before i draw a conclusion. e.g. when ICS gets released and they say they are not going to update the atrix.

Look at the original Incredible.
My wife's one has been turned to **** since the 2.3.4 update, and nothing from HTC, and Verizon pretty much said too bad so sad. Buy another phone or deal with it.
So yes, support will be dropped for older models whether you like to assumed it or not.

No it is obvious support is going to be dropped for old models. But he is implying that models released this year will not get support.
I think for every $10 a phone costs over $50 on launch day (on contract) is how many months it should be updated for. So a $300 phone should be kept updated for 25 months. So this would either keep phone prices lower or keep them updated.
Facebook is a poor way of getting the attention of corporations. You want them to change? Buy a nexus phone. Money talks.

I think ICS only has support for Armv7 currently, so phones with those SoCs will get updated. However, phones using custom UIs will experience a longer waiting time, maybe around early Q1 of 2012. HTC has released like 1000 phones in the last few months and I doubt most will get ICS soon, not sure if Moto will bother at all. But it might be better to wait and actually see what goes down, like you said.
Has HTC in fact locked a boot loader or withheld hardware drivers?
I intend for my next phone to be HTC just because of the hell Samsung put us though trying to get GB on the i9000.

HTC new phones i believe i read come locked.
You can unlock them direct with HTC, but you loose all warranty. As per HTC.

Motorola unlocking bootloaders ??
you should check this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1316722
I had a motorola xt720.... not the best phone..but was ok. Motorola decided to stop supporting it within 4 months of launch or something stupid like that. No new updates no nothing. And still insisted on the bootloader staying locked so the dev's found it alot harder to do their job for them.
I will never ever buy a motorola product again.
The market is fairly competitive ... don't buy from companies that pull this crap
