Grr. Why do I want a G2? - G2 and Desire Z General

I wanted to get one before the Nexus S was announced, but I went with the Nexus as soon as it came out. For some reason I'd still like to have one as a secondary phone. Convince me how horrible the G2 is so I won't throw down any more cash.

it is an insult to use the G2 as secondary phone. Thats how good it is and thats why you should dump the plasticky S.

No, damn it! This is not what I want!

I will be getting the G2 in a few days and I will be finally dumping my captivate.

Awesome keyboard, beautiful design, extremely fast, highly overclockable, HSPA+, optical trackpad, tons of ROMS and support from developers/community. The G2 IMO is still the best phone on T-Mobile

You guys are trying to screw me. ~_~

Yes! A bitter community that can't understand any kind of humor. That will drive me away for sure.

The mighty G2 eats the likes of the Galaxy S and Nexus S for breakfast

If you wait a little bit longer before you buy it it will have the new firmeware version preinstalled so it will not be rootable.
-> then you dumped your cash

dude its horrible i ditched epic 4g on sprint in dreams of the nexus s, and then it was announced... by then i had grabbed tmobiles cyber monday deal and got the g2. needless to say im still reppin my g2.. but seriously get out, if you want to have other think for you theres a phone for that, switch to att. SJ does an amazing job of telling his customers what they want
::Edit:: really should change my settings from sprint to tmo.. >.>

I don't think I could go back to a keyboardless phone after using the Desire Z. Would not trade/switch over to Galaxy/HD/NexusS unless you paid me to use it.

the keyboard closes on your ballsack very easily... major crap dont get it!

but i was able to google a doctor quite quickly seeing as how this phone is the fasted phone i have ever used. :|

So let me get this straight you want someone to help you choose your own device. That's just retarded.

No, I want you guys to ***** and moan about how unhappy you are so that I'll stop wanting to pick up a G2. Not asking for anyone to think for me--just to influence my opinion in a negative manner. I'm a notorious compulsive buyer, and I want to protect myself.

Oh, and what could I expect to pay for a new or like new G2?

That's not too bad, but I couldn't muster up $300 cash. I'd have to use eBay or PayPal. Just wondering, but the G2 has a SLCD, right? How does it compare to SAMOLED?

Honestly I am getting tired of these two groups of people: 1) "I am going to sell my Vibrant for the G2 because Vibrant sucks" and 2) "Vibrant is the greatest thing ever... G2 sucks". Seriously people, they are both great phones. Get over it.
Glad you told us. I for one really sincerely am concerned about what you do with your personal property. You selling your phone is so important to tell everyone, so i am glad you did. Bottling it up inside isnt healthy.
Good luck on your important life journey of what electronics you use.

OP good luck with your investment, money well spent...BTW Samsung still gets your money whether you sell it or not
Ha-ha, yea I'm glad the OP let us in in his decision. Now I can finally get some rest...

I love my Vibrant... G2's okay... I'm just over the slide-out keyboard thing.

Wow, way to fail a troll. I like you people.

What is this? You just want to let people know how unfairly you were treated by your phone? Or perhaps T-Mobile? "Waaah, my phone doesnt have froyo yet"? Do us all a favor and cry yourself a river, build yourself a bridge and get the f**k over it.

Nexus S Pictures

Also coming out for T-Mobile, made by Samsung. The newest Nexus?
http://an.droid-life.com/2010/11/11/first-real-photos-of-samsung-nexus-s-appear/
what do you guys think?
I'm not a fan of Samsung, but their hardware in the Galaxy S is awesome, and with Google's vanilla.... it could be gold, pending GPS fixes and whatnot.
let me see... everything the samsung vibrant should of had but failed to include... so that 6 mos later repackage and call it nexus s? typical samsung
Anyone know the off contract price? I wonder if its going to have dev support like the nexus 1.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
hmm still within my remorse period... Theres a whole lot plastic going on right there but the internals and 2.3 gingerbread is hard to pass up. That and it should be the new developer phone makes this a pretty good buy but is it worth return the G2 for?
yeah I'm wondering about that too... Nexus S or G2?
I like the internals of the Nexus S but the externals of the G2... not sure I wanna pay ~$500+ for a plastic phone
No thanks. Samsung will not receive not one penny from me.

^ yea me either,
Looks like if it fell it would burst into a ton of pieces...
And those of us that bought the Vibrant/Galaxy S hoping it would/could have been this phone...
I gave my vibrant to the wife and personally went to G2. Hopefully by the time I'm ready to get another phone, the "Nexus3" will be out and HTC will be the manufacturer.

I wouldn't be surprised if Motorola was the next Nexus's manufacturer lol
It is likely I will buy this instead of a Galaxy Tab. Anyway, I have a Vibrator, G2, and MyTouch 4G. Actually selling the G2 and keeping the other two. Why you might ask? I wanted the extra RAM in the MyTouch, G2 was a bit bulky for my tastes, although the keyboard was pretty sweet.
The truth was I needed to sell one either the Vibrator or the G2 and the G2 brought more cash so that was the one I chose to sell. Even though I much rather would have kept it instead of the Vibrant.
It's cool CM will be on MyTouch 4G soon enough!
after samsung moment, i realized never again with samsung. such beautiful phones with potentials they make, yet they fail to give a damn about their phones, also that phone does look like 1 drop results to epic destruction

Trade for evo anyone??

I was looking for someone who wanted to trade there epic 4g for my evo 4g its brand new I just got it from sprint. Any one interested let me know.
If you just bought it, don't you have a 30 day return on it?
Plus, the "there", along with the runon sentence doesn't bode well for the seller/trader's credibility.
First: I just got it in the mail because I replaced my old one. Second: thanks for the language tip lol

Depending on where you are I would also consider it. Been something I've been thinking about doing.
Only issue would be I don't know how fair a trade would be...my epic was purchased about a week or so after launch. Its been in a case the whole time but...ya.
Is it a refurb? Or did they send you a brand new one?

I was just gonna say check on Craigslist. I started looking fairly late in the evening, and ended up trading my Epic for an Evo the next morning. Shouldn't be too hard.

Was it a straight up trade? Just curious how you all did it.
why would anyone want to trade an inferior device?
I just looked for an Evo on Craigslist, and found people looking for possible trades. Found a guy who was about 20 minutes away, and met him at my local Sprint store. We checked out each others phones and went into the store where they swapped the activation on them. He threw in $50 with the Evo also. Work out the deal beforehand based on the assumption that condition, age, etc. are all the same, and then go from there once you see the phone in hand. Once you meet the person, you can always walk away if something just doesn't feel right. I'm happy with the way my trade worked out. Just much easier and safer to do locally. That's why I went with Craigslist. Just keep in mind you CAN still get screwed locally, so check the phone thoroughly. The Evo I traded for had a blown speaker, but my local Sprint store replaced the speaker for $35, so I still came out ahead. At some point, you just have to trust the person, as you can't necessarily test EVERYTHING. Good luck, man.

Inferior? No. I'm happier with my Evo than I was with my Epic. Different phones entirely. Both are nice, but I just found my Epic too buggy, and had no need for a thicker phone with a keyboard. I'm not saying the Evo is better. Just better for me. I do miss the SAMOLED screen though.
I've been throwing around the idea of trading mine for a evo but I'm just worried ill miss the epic. I had a evo when it first came out then switched to epic and I can't make up my mind on which one I want. I don't use my keyboard ever so its kind of a waste.
Wow u been a senior member on this forum and lack of knowledge ..evo inferior they are both the same I ll say just the preference ....

Same here, I really dig the epic but really don't use the keyboard and just think the evo feels better in the hand. Right now the screen is keeping me with the epic but samsungs/sprints lack of software support and accesories for the phone are making me lean towards trading for an evo

Sprint's New Phones

"Sprint announcing Nexus S 4G, EVO 3D, and EVO View tablet at CTIA?" (sorry can't post the link but its on Engadget.)
I feel like this is good news, if sprint releases a Nexus S 4G we should be able port its build over to the Epic without too much trouble. We might finally be able to get quick updates.

Would you people still seriously think about getting another Samsung phone after how bad they've screwed up the epic experience? No I'm not trying to be a troll or start a flamefest. It's an honest question. I had the epic but gave it to my gf after I got tired of waiting on sprint and Samsung dicking around.

The devotion that Google has to the Nexus brand makes anything the Epic went thru irrelevant. I would definitely get the Nexus S 4G if it came to Sprint. I'm not concerned with dual core seeing as how my Epic runs blazing and handles games amazingly. It suits my needs just fine. But I might consider the Evo successor as well.
Gawd I hope this is true. It will restore my faith in Sprint.

It sounds too good to be true. Can other people confirm if this is true?
I hope the build quality is top notch and it doesn't feel cheap, too light and plastic. I hope its solid and not flexible and creaky. I think I saw one at best buy. I should go back and play around. See what it's like.
Does the nexus one still get updates before anyone else does?
