Engadget: You know the drill -- new handset, new problems. It's pretty much inevitable that sporadic reports of bugs and hardware problems are going to start popping up by day two of any major phone launch, and sure enough, complaints are starting to circulate on two biggies for the G2.
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.
