PhoneDog: "Now that the T-Mobile G2 is finally landing in the hands of eager customers (albeit a little early), you'd think everything would be sunshine and rainbows, right? Not so, as some customers are finding that their shiny new handsets are a little less than perfect. The two problems that seem to be most common are a loose hinge, which causes the screen to hang down if the handset is held upside down and snap shut if held at a certain angle, and some phones that are reporting 2 GB or less of internal storage rather than the 4 GB that was promised. T-Mobile has chimed in about the memory issue, saying that some of the storage is used for the phone's operating system and preloaded apps, but the carrier hasn't yet made a statement about the hinge problems."
To give you an idea of the real-world performance offered by Sprint WiMax, T-Mobile HSPA+, and Verizon LTE, RPad.tv ran some speed tests in three cities. The site used a Sprint Epic 4G, a T-Mobile G2, and an HTC Thunderbolt at LAX (Los Angeles), SFO (San Francisco), and JFK (New York). Here are the results.
another one of those interesting pictures.
verizon is seriously serious with this 4g thing. those numbers are incredible especially when compared to the competition.
Please note that the upload speeds are almost definitely not correct. There's an issue with Speedtest.net and LTE uploads.
The shot is about some promotion (which advertises that you can win a G-Slate, LG’s Android tablet) but still, it’s a pretty clear indication that T-Mobile will carry the dual-core Optimus 2X droid.
Engadget: Outside of the Nexus One (and recently-launched Nexus S, of course), T-Mobile's G2 is about as close as one can get to stock build of Android. 'Course, it's now a point release behind Gingerbread, but we're hoping that'll be remedied in short order.
