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!!

Probably just HSPA+ (4G) and maybe vanilla android and hopefully gingerbread!!

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

[Q] Just planning for the future; any opinions for me?

Well some of you may have read my thread about me swapping for a T-Mo HD2 and then upgrading sometime Q3-4 to a new phone as a "birthday present"
I've just been thinking.....since the SGS looks like its getting some official gingerbread cookies soon (don't like CM7 or MIUI as my phones a 1008, larger risk of me bricking it :/ and its too buggy for daily use for me right now IMO) in a month or two. and darky's bound to base a ROM around it and someones bound to port it over to the captivate.
I'm thinking of not trading for a HD2, but instead after my exams next year, sometime around Feb-April, get a brand new tablet instead......
and then just use my phone for tethering since I'm getting "unlimited" data next month for a very cheap price.....
any thoughts? or should I stick to my previous plan of trading a HD2 and grabbing a new phone Q3-Q4 instead?
thanks

Discussion: How bad of a hit has development taken due to HTC's lies?

Hey guys, just wondering what your opinion is on how this locked bootloader issue has affected the potential development of this phone. How bad do you think it really is? Countless people have returned their phones. I'm sure many potential devs have strayed from this phone or HTC as a whole due to this issue. This is a damn good phone as stock, who knows how much better it could be if it were unlocked from the start. What do you guys think the development will be like once it does get unlocked?

I've gotta think it'll pick up. The Inspire was the only "4G" HTC phone for a long time so I can't imagine HTC coming out with anything new on ATT for a little while at least so I gotta think if things do get rolling people will come.

I sure hope so, but it is depressing to think how many people we have already lost and how much potential devlopment is lost. I'm not sure how big of a factor LTE is to people though, considering it isn't widely available. Not sure when the next AT&T HTC phone will be coming out, but locked bootloader or not, this thing is a beast and is getting ICS. I really don't see a better AT&T phone out right now. Samsung Touchwiz is boring, and so is the Samsung development. There's just so much more devs can do with sense.

I'm kicking myself because I keep telling myself I'm just going to pay full retail and get international devices. I may still look for an Evo 3D or something, but although I'm in a non LTE area I can't wait for it to arrive.

I'll stick with this device and learn to develope for it should the day ever arrive. I'm sure if we ever get root, more devs will migrate. It is a truly capable device and a huge step from my tp2.

it will pick up some if the BL ever gets unlocked.

It really is sad that htc/att are dragging their feet on this. They are losing customers every day, I'm returning mine tomorrow. I really like the vivid but am a flashaholic. I have an amaze also and it doesn't really have much dev attention. I don't really understand why, it's also a great device. I honestly would probably be keeping my vivid if I didn't have the amaze, I'm a fan of the sense ui. I'll be giving the nitro a test for the next 30 days, it should be easy to root with super one click but as with most att devices it will probably take 3 weeks or so just to get a forum for it since it's not a Samsung device.

Could you return the Vivid, get another phone, and then return that phone and get a Vivid again? I'm just curious on how AT&T's return/exchange works. Is there a limit of some sort?

Yea, that's what I would probably do if I didn't buy my phone off-contract. Who knows when the next HTC phone on AT&T will come out. The last high end one was the Inspire and that was months and months ago. I think it'll be tough for these people that have always been with HTC to just switch and stay with another brand for a long period of time. Samsung UI is so boring it's not even funny.

Hmm right now I have a Samsung Captivate and I'm either going to the HTC Vivid or SGS2 and right now it seems like the Vivid is not the best option.
I flash ROMs weekly on my Captivate. I guess I was still ignorant and didn't know about HTC's decision to not keep the bootloader so open, like they promised.
Looks like the Samsung SGS2 is the better route...

I picked up a skyrocket because of the locked bootloader but as soon as its unlocked ill trade it for a vivid no doubt. HTC is good with making phones

Deciding to upgrade, or wait

One of my biggest fears with this phone (if I upgrade next month, or the month after), is that a little after I upgrade, the main backing devs (the few that actually created new stuff rather than repackage old stuff), will flip their switch to the new phone almost immediately, and then leave this phone in the dust. I mean, I know that is inevitable for almost any phone. But, to me, when I got the Epic 4G Touch, it seemed as if right when the S3 was released, there was a limbo period where no new astounding material came out, and then all focus shifted away from CM9 to CM10.1. Maybe it is just a personal fear, but, still one that I would like to bring up.

No that shouldn't happen many of these have been sold we already have official cm 10.1 slim bean and unofficial aokp and some touchwiz Roms development is not slowing down anytime soon.

I upgraded yesterday from my galaxy nexus. i wanted to wait but said f it...
i'm telling myself i want to wait a good while before i root this one but the dam root bug is gnawing at me :silly:

Any time you get a new device their will always be something newer and hotter around the corner its just the way it is, I just upgraded from the lte over the weekend because most developers had moved on to either the s4 or the one

If you currently have the e4gt, there is a few improvements and one step back as far as I've seen. Bigger screen, higher resolution, better stock battery life, and higher resolution camera. Cons: the e4gt camera, even though it is less megapixel and f-stop than the s4, it takes brighter pictures in low light and even the daytime without a flash. Some think that the pictures on the e4gt look washed out compared to the s4. I don't agree. I posted a few pictures of the same thing with each phone in the pictures thread. It is clearly noticeable that the e4gt has brighter pictures even when both phones are set at the same resolution and mode. I know I will get flamed but the pictures speak for themselves. As for should you upgrade? If you have lte in your area, you'll get better network performance than wimax. My speedtest.net speed run best so far is 32.79 megabits per second on the s4. I was excited to get the phone, but after the first day or two, the hype was greatly exaggerated in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, it's a good top of the line phone, just not a night and day difference over the s2. Do more research to determine if what the s4 has to offer is what you're looking for.

Yup. Rolled out in Germany about a week ago. Released in India today I guess (http://gadgets.ndtv.com/mobiles/news/samsung-galaxy-s4-update-starts-rolling-out-in-india-378129)
So should get here soon enough.

Knowing we're usually last in line (sprint) for updates, it might be a month or two if I had to guess a time frame.

I figured that. And that's still worth waiting to be able to update right away. Rather than rooting, getting a custom rom. Getting all my stuff set up just right, then the update comes out. I'd be upset. Then have to wait for the custom roms to update too.

Upgrade. My experience with this phone so far is amazing.

use the upgrade, phone has been awesome and since you are on xda you will most like root and rom it. There are already plenty of different roms out there you can play with, so much fun

Get the phone already. But honestly you might find yourself not needing too rom it. Outside of debloating anyways. TW is very nice and not obtrusive. Nothing like sense.

Don't worry, in the US the One X people will have to wait 6 months for the update you linked. Surely by then the US carriers will have released the 4.2.2 update for the HTC One. Surely!

Well, it's supposed to be in Sprint's hands right now. Problem is, they say it's up to HTC. You know how the story goes. It'll get here when it gets here. Sprint will probably update the EVOLTE before the One.

That's Taiwan. We can only use that as a reference point, nothing else.
But I think this is just getting friggin ridiculous. Maybe there's a serious bug in the update like battery drain and only the US carriers are caring enough to resolve it with HTC?

Lets be honest here... There is a reason Samsung is WINNING! How far can build quality and sense get you when post support sucks ass. Flagships are being killed off by HTC after a year while Samsung updates OG EVO status devices. The GS2 shares the same OS as us for gods sake... This is ridiculous.
I've always been one to steer people away from the plastic GS devices, but you can't deny they are future proof in getting them. I'll have to definitely wait on next year's flags instead of dumping money day 1 like I've done the last 2 years.
And for the fanboys that say... Leave the one... No I will not. I'm NOT saying it's not the best device, but you can't deny post support sucks on our end.

Well, if we're being honest. There is a reason Samsung is winning, and it's called marketing. It most certainly is NOT because HTC phones are slow getting such minor updates like 4.2. Most people don't know anything about it, and it's not even close. The only ones who really care that much are the people on XDA who root and run custom roms, and we are the minority by a HUGE margin.
Honestly, it's even smaller than that, because some of us who root and run custom roms could still care less about this update. It brings next to nothing for a lot of us. Kernel and the ability to run 4.2 roms will be fun...but not that many people care all that much. We all know how annoying it is, it does suck..but it's definitely not the reason why Samsung is winning lol

I mostly agree. Remember when people used to call whatever android phone a Droid? Now they say galaxy, even if it's not a Samsung phone. They certainly did something right with the brand name.
Hopefully htc will stick with the One moniker and recover lost customers
It is kinda nice to be the only one among all my friends to have a One while all my Galaxy friends envy my One and say they should have got that instead

Excited about what? The One X deserved the update without a doubt... They should have done this without even thinking. Problem I have is... Not even the DEV edition HTC one which is unbranded sold directly from HTC is still on outdated OS regardless of how minor the update is. If the update is so minor... Why do we not have it? Why does the DEV edition NOT have it officially? It makes no sense that this phone was release 4-5 months ago international and they just not got the update. Ours was released 3 months ago and no update in sight. Call it what you want, but I dare you say POST SUPPORT from HTC is better than POST SUPPORT from Samsung?

Sprint is holding it up at this point, not htc. I'm pretty sure tho that Sprint is forcing htc to make some signal improvements, since a lot of people complain the S4/3 has it better due to the plastic body.

This could be close. Verizion usually wants something "exclusive" when it comes to the phones they carry. They may be the only US carrier with 4.2.2 for a limited time through a deal with HTC.
Unrelated note, why do people think sprint has the update already?

Since HTC doesn't seem to know how to update my phone and I obviously don't know how to enjoy it, I'm probably just gonna kill myself. What's the point of life if Satan, sorry - HTC, can't provide a menial software update?
Exactly, no point to life without 4.2. I NEED IT NOW.
