  • I just got this phone today

  • Nah it worked for me I've been through so many phones it's crazy

  • u need to cut your nail buddy

  • I ordered this phone a couple days ago off the T-Mobile website and got it absolutely free. Great deal for a great phone. I'm hoping to get it pretty soon. Right now I have the very first MyTouch, and it barely worked for 2 years (I don't know if that is a long time to have a phone). I am exited to see what 4G can do for me! :)

  • I like the cool graphics on the sensation such as those on the weather widget, but i also like the simplicity of the G2x. i like both phones but i can't decide which one is better. i'll be using it mainly for texting and web surfing. which one do you recommend?

  • @SwaGamer I prefer the Sensation for a couple of reasons. First, I like HTC's Sense, although it's perfectly understandable if you don't. Second, I like the higher resolution of the Sensation's display. Just a couple of thoughts...

    Bob at Wirefly

  • @SwaGamer ....pick something else if you want reliability. This phone is horrible (I've been using it for 6 months). The sensation is a great phone but only has 1 gig of storage on it. So don't count on downloading too many apps from the market. IMO, you'd be much happier with either the Galaxy S2 or the Amaze 4g. Check them out and try to steer clear of this defective piece of garbage.

  • better than my RAZR

  • That SGS2 is much worse performing than the G2x and even my Motorola DROID 3.

  • this phone is almost 10x faster than my samsung intercept lol

  • @wirefly hey bob can you do a new review with the g2x with the gingerbread update? no one has really done a good one yet that i can find. it would be awesome if u could find the time to do that. thanks

  • The GPU beats the not yet released GS2 by a noticeable amount.

    Impressive !

  • @bufbarnaby hell yeah thats because nvidia does great gpu's on the pc so they know what it takes to make a badass gpu vs samsung that does ok but not as good. its nice to see someones gpu finally beat out samsungs gpu. lol

  • Do not buy these phones! Most of them out there are defective! Neither lg or tmobile are saying anything about this problem. There is a rumor that the gingerbread update will fix this, but it's doubtful. The problem might be in the hardware and not the software. If you already bought one from tmobile and still have the warranty, get your money back or a different phone!

  • @vincent8er The carriers (such as T-Mobile) have HUGE overhead for their stores. That real estate and those employees cost LOTS of money. Wirefly has no retail stores and many fewer employees, so our overhead is much lower. We can pass the savings on to you, and the carriers are just fine with that - they don't want to build more stores and hire more employees. You receive the phone from Wirefly but pay the monthly bill to the carrier.

    Bob at Wirefly

  • @vincent8er If you don't feel comfortable using Wirefly, then you shouldn't do it. I can say that Wirefly has a 30-day money back policy. If you don't like the deal within 30 days, you can get your money back. But I understand... I didn't know how it worked before I got here, and it's not always the easiest thing to explain.

    Bob at Wirefly

  • hows the battery life on this?? will it last all day or will i have to charge half way through the day??

  • @abnormalgroup I've loaned the LG G2x to a co-worker, who has been using it heavily for three weeks. He says that he gets through the day without recharging, but recharges it every night.

    Overall, he loves the G2x: great voice quality, nice screen and really fast response. And he's coming from a T-Mobile G2.

    Bob at Wirefly

  • @wirefly Thanks Bob, your videos always help me when it comes to purchasing a phone or other device!

  • Can you use this phone as a WiFi hotspot for other wireless devices? If so, do the other devices you link to utilize the 2 GB of 4G speed alloted?

  • @hualni You can definitely use the LG G2x as a WiFi hotspot and it works well. I don't understand your question about the "2 GB of 4G speed"... if you get a 10 Gbps downlink, you can theoretically pass all of that along to the connected WiFi devices.

    Bob at Wirefly

  • @wirefly My question is in regards to "Unlimited Data Includes 2GB @ 4G Speeds". On T-Mobile's site, they have this... "Unlimited data: 2 GB of high-speed data, then reduced speeds after that. If you use up your high-speed data, we will automatically reduce your speeds for the rest of your billing cycle. That means you are always connected and will never have to worry about overages." I am wondering if the 2 GB "clock" is running when you are using a laptop or a tablet with the 4G speed.

  • @wirefly One final question. Will the G2x connect to the internet via WiFi if a WiFi connection is available? And will it connect automatically or do you have to disable the 3G/4G settings?

  • @hualni Yes, the G2x will definitely connect to a WiFi network for Internet access, even when 3G/4G signals are available. If WiFi is active, it will default to WiFi for Internet. If you have WiFi active and if the G2x has the password remembered, the G2x will connect automatically.

    Bob at Wirefly

  • @hualni From what you describe, yes you are using your 2GB allocation of data when you do WiFi hotspot tethering.

    Bob at Wirefly

  • @wirefly Cool. That makes sense. What is the speed reduced to after you use your 2 GB?

  • @hualni Only T-Mobile can tell you that. I would guess that it is "2G" speeds, perhaps 150-200kbps. But only T-Mobile can tell you that for sure.

    Bob at Wirefly

  • @hualni the g2x is a mobile hotspot for up to 5 devices. it uses the best connection that your service and phone can attain. I'm pulling 4g speeds with the g2x. The phone is actually faster than my wi-fi internet connection.

  • I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!

  • your website is extremely sketchy...i dont know if i should trust it or not. It doesnt seem legit. Can you convince me to buy from your website?

  • @Birdcage67554 Wirefly has been around for years and has a 30-day satisfaction guaranty... and we pay the shipping back to us if you are not satisfied. We're in the US (in Virginia) and have 250 videos here on YouTube. I'm a journalist and published author, with more than 350 articles in magazines.

    Does that help?

    Bob at Wirefly

  • @Birdcage67554 I know. I was going to upgrade for $150, but Wirefly asked for some personal info and there was no secure connection lock at the bottom of my screen. Wirefly only offered the $30 data plan but I only need the $15 as I mostly use wifi.

  • @proteanview It's true that Wirefly doesn't offer all the plans that the carriers have. We do have all the plans that the carrier allows us to have. The bottom line is that you can get a $15 plan from the carrier, but you'll pay a lot more for the phone. If that works out better for you, we all understand.

  • I saw some reviews about this phone with cons which includes screen bleeding and occasional rebooting pls I wana know if this issues really exist or was it that their phones were faulty

  • Bob I live in Canada and I love to get this phone unlocked how much is gonna cost getting it unlocked without any contract including the shipping rate

  • on wirefly the phone is $100 with new contract. How much is it if im only upgrading my contract?

  • @UKnoM3LuVU At the moment, the T-Mobile G2x is $149.99 if you renew/upgrade an existing contract. However, prices change all the time, so you should check on Wirefly when you're ready to do the deal. It's easy to check.

    Bob at Wirefly

  • @wirefly how is the sound output of music? loud soft?

  • @SunDaygoPinoy I haven't tried the G2x as a music player but can test that next week when I'm back in the office. In general, I find that cellphones are loud enough for headphones, but are kinda weak when plugged into the aux jack of a stereo system (such as in a car).

    Bob at Wirefly

  • @wirefly i would appreciate that but what about the speakers?

    thanks

  • Any shot that when doing reviews on phones, you can do a shot of using the phone outside in the sun? I've noticed that it's hit and miss with these phones in terms of visibility in the sun. I have the Droid Incredible, and it becomes virtually unusable in daylight. I find I'm having to turn, twist around, and relocat to a shaded area (if using my body isn't working) in order to see my display.

  • @robertmchapman30 I use most of these phones outside to shoot some video, so that would be a good time to mention the visibility. There's probably some variation between two of the same model phones, however. Otherwise, there's no convenient way for me to show what the screen look like in the daylight. I will try to comment more about that in the videos, however.

    Bob at Wirefly

  • @wirefly Thanks. I use a golf gps app, and in the sun, my phone is worthless.  My buddy has the Samsung Fascinate. His phone makes my phone feel more mediocre than incredible. Anyway. A quick mention to this would be very helpful for I will make future decisions based on daylight visibility. Thanks

  • Man tmobile is being freaken stingy with this phone. They keep blowing smoke up my a** about upgrading to this phone!! How can I get them to strike a deal with me!?

  • @chewyourfingers Have you tried seeing what kind of a deal you can get through Wirefly? Go to Wirefly.com and take a look there. If you still have questions, call an agent at 800-552-9000. Might as well give it a try.

    Bob at Wirefly

  • HTC hub is for downloading new skins, wallpapers etc straight from HTC servers. The thunderbolt does bot have it as we were told was disabled by Verizon. But was curious as to if the incredible had it installed.

  • @thugnizzle03 It's definitely not installed, but have you looked to see if it is in the Android Market?

    Bob at Wirefly

  • MY g2x scores 2705 in quadrant stock

  • @wirefly thanks for the response. One quick question I have is on the incredible 2 is the HTC hub feature disabled as it on the thunderbolt? Thanks in advance

  • @thugnizzle03 There is no app or widget for HTC Hub, so I think it's not on the DROID Incredible 2. It's for watching video, right? If so, Verizon has it's own video services on the Incredible 2.

    Bob at Wirefly

  • Any thoughts??

  • is it really sensitive? iphone4 sensitive? or just sensetive? the screen

  • This is totally off topic with this video, but what happened to the video of the unboxing incredible 2??? Bob?

  • @thugnizzle03 Well, we can't talk too much about it. It was go for launch, then it wasn't. We still expect that the video will be up again in a few days, as well as more content about the Incredible 2. FWIW, the Incredible 2 is in my shirt pocket as I write this.

  • Hey Bob you are right, shipped today! Great thanks to the wirefly team.

  • Hey Bob thanks for the review.

    will your website have samsung galaxy s ii ? when will it be released and how much will it be ? thank u

    Saud

  • @saud555555 We don't have any word on the Samsung Galaxy S2, except that it will be coming in the fuzzy future. We have no information on release dates and cost... sorry.

    Bob at Wirelfy

  • Bob , thanks you so much for you tip ... I'm getting the tmobile G2X may 5th . :D

  • Bob, I'm about to upgrade my phone in may . Should I get the tmobile G2X or wait for the HTC sensation ? I'm looking for good battery life n a lot memory . ;) which should I get !?

  • @angel11991 I have both of them on my desk at the moment, oddly enough. The Sensation is a pre-production model and its software is not complete. I really like the Sensation's bigger (4.3-inch) screen and 540 x 960 resolution, and it also has Android 2.3. On the other hand, tests I've done with both phones show that the T-Mobile G2x is considerably more powerful. This might be because of the unfinished software, however.

    Bob at Wirefly

  • Bob, between Gx2 and HTC Sensation, which one would you choose? not sure if I should wait for Sensation. please help.

  • @eezapata2 Don't tell anyone, but I have the Sensation on my desk right now. Unfortunately, we can't release any information on it until we get the go-ahead from HTC and T-Mobile. I can say that I'm very impressed with my first look at the phone.

    I'm a video guy and a big, clear, sharp screen with a high resolution screen goes a long way with me. The Sensation beats the G2x there. I'll know more when I take a closer look.

    Bob at Wirefly

  • Bob, what would you say the best phone available on Rogers is at the moment?

  • @MattySundevils1 Unfortunately, Wirefly sells only in the US and I'm not familiar with Roger' Canadian offerings. Can't help you there... sorry.

    Bob at Wirefly

  • "hot roded" lol you mean overclocked

  • @rashad123us Yeah, that's it... I used to have an overclocked VW Golf about 15 years ago...

    Bob at Wirefly

  • I heard a couple of complaints about screen bleeding on the G2x. Can you enlighten me with your knowledge of that?

  • @yscreth55 So far, the screen has looked great to me. A little higher resolution would be nice but the G2x that I have looks nice. We've had it for just three days, so more use might reveal something.

    Bob at Wirefly

  • Bob, lol, you went HSN on us with the "Need for Speed" portion... Show the phone next time while you play so I can see the graphics! Thank you for the thorough review. I look forward to more!

  • @goens001 I was trying to get that $#%@ red car out of my face. I hope you could tell I was having fun.

    Bob at Wirefly

  • Awesome review. Makes me wanna get the phone even more. Thanx Bob :)

  • If this is dual core how come the Thunderbolt is faster?

  • @Ninjadude973 The HTC ThunderBolt is not faster than the T-Mobile G2x in my tests, but the T'Bolt is still plenty fast. One difference in favor of the ThunderBolt is its 768MB of processor RAM... the G2x has 512MB and that makes a considerable difference in my experience.

  • the mytouch 4g can score 1980 on quadrant stock

  • I have a question for you Bob, is this phone out-of-stock at the moment on wirefly? I ordered this phone and for a couple days it was on "waiting for approval from tmobile". Now it says "We apologize for the inconvenience, but the phone you ordered is extremely popular. We receive shipments of additional phones daily and will fulfill out-of-stock orders in the order in which they were received."

  • @OneUnderground I'm checking into this and will get back to you ASAP. I'm about ready to rundown our customer service guy and get an answer.

    Bob at Wirefly

  • @wirefly Thank You! Such great online customer service

  • @OneUnderground We are indeed out of stock on the G2x. We will be getting more tomorrow (Thursday, April 21) and that will be more than enough to meet all the orders. In other words, your G2x should ship tomorrow. Thanks!

    Bob at Wirefly

  • I heard this phone has a qHD, why wasn't this mentioned? How does it compare to the 3DS's 3D?

  • @TheBlueAngel31 The T-Mobile G2x is definitely not qHD resolution (540 x 960). The G2x is 480 x 800 resolution, which was mentioned (with on-screen graphics) in the review.

    Bob at Wirefly

  • @wirefly I'm sorry, I had my information incorrect. I got two phones confused.

  • Well,now that the GS2 has been upgraded to 1.2Ghz dual core, that smartbench number will go up. :)

  • Thanks ..great review though I wish you had run the speed test app just for fun

  • finally part 2 :) Can't wait to buy this phone (:
