No, look at specs vs vibrant
http://g2.t-mobile.com/g2-specs
The big issue i have hear regarding the g2 is its major hinge problem. But thats just what i heave read and hear, not from personal experience. Do so more research, head to a T-mobile store and check one out for yourself.
I have it is good
Hmmm ....

I wouldn't do it personally. I hate physical keyboards. I'll take Swype and a smaller phone any day.
It comes down to what keyboard do you like and can you get 4G speeds. I can't where I am (they say we have H but i get the same speeds as all my friends with MyTouch 4's).
I think yea preferences
I will do it
For kb
Stock google
Stronger cpu
Love my vibrant but need a little junk in my trunk
Thanks guys especially tw and eugene and master

G2 doesn't have a [fully]stock android system
Who cares? If you want gaming and movies the vibrant wins hands down. Other than that g2 is better. Both are about equal but what i said above about games and movies

Also it comes down to preferences
Just like roms

As many have said. If you use your phone for games and music keep the vibrant. I have the g2 and the vibrant and imo the vibrant has its downsides as does the g2. The screen on the g2 looks fuzzy compared to the vibrant and the speaker sucks! What got me into getting the g2 was the keyboard the long lasting battery and the trackpad...If you have any questions ask me and ill answer them

the question is that do you want a keyboard??
so yeaaa if you need a keyboard then go with the g2 .there is no such reason trading your vibrant for a g2.
i had both, i say vibrant

I have a g2, my brother a vibrent, and I say g2. My brother has sent his vibrent back 3 times so far. He has had it for 2 months. He also has bricked it many times (his doing I'm sure). I have yet to brick my g2, and I have swap many roms and kernals. His GPS is crap, along with his 3g. My g2 has everything his vibrent has and more. My g2 has 4g speeds, wifi hotspot( I even play mw2 on ps3 with no lag), a qwerty keypad, swype, 2.2 froyo, faster cpu, and a more true form of a google phone. I have my phone OC to 1.8MHz and my battery last all day with the help of setcpu. The Z hinge is not much of a problem, only if you lay on your back and use the keypad, but the way you hold the phone stops that problem. The g2 is able to do every thing the vibrent can and more but in the end its all up to you. Its your time and money, go to the store and take a look for your self.

Your cpu is not faster. Its more efficient. And dont act like the g2 is that much better. In fact if my vibrant had 4g like the next one id suffice to say the vibrant was plain better.
I do like the feel of the g2. Solid and if your getting robbed it can defend your life. Keyboard is nice.
The 4"screen on the vibrant really is better to type with. Swype is better than the physical kep pad.
And last but best of all the screen on the vibrant smashes the g2. Your talking two diffrent generations of screens.
Roms cancel any os disputes.
After the vibrant gets 2.2 official it will be more efficient. And its still plenty efficient.
The gps in the vibrant is trash. Some work. Some dont.
The vibrant 4g will be a better phone.

I'm thinking about trading my Vibrant for a G2 today. Is there anything I should know before I do? Is it easy to flash? What good ROMS are available? Does T-Mobile charge extra for 4G?
Hi friends,
I just love my x10.
But it seems my perticular x10 has motherboard problem.it keeps restarting if there is sim card inserted. Service center refused service as my x10 is from outside india.
But i m interested in either arc or neo. But not sure what i should do..
Or should replace x10 with x10.
Any thoughts...
Specially from current arc and neo users...
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I have heard but I dont own one, but the arc is a better pick over the neo.
But if you want even a better phone. Go for the Samsung galaxy S 2. That phone has gotten reviews as the one of or the best smartphone to date. When I get to a computer, I will give u a review link. Hope this helps.

I believe sgs2 is the greatest mobile on planet as of now. But i like sony phones and their design more.
Arc is better looking than neo.
Arc has beutiful design.bigger screen hence better usability.
Neo has smaller screen but better battery life.
Front camera does not interest me tht much.
If only arc had 1650mAh battery like the mighty sgs2...

I'm hoping for something with 2 maybe even 4 CPU's..

sgs2 hands down, I've tried it at a store once, it's so smooth. Not for people with small hands though.

Nvidia has already come up with quadcore chip for mobile.
I know sgs2 is better than arc by all respect but one...looks.
How beautiful a mobile can be..
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
If only my x10 was without motherboard problem. I'm kinda miss my x10. :/
I have decided to go with arc. All thanks to the beautiful design.
But x10 fits in your hand so effortlessly.
Arc has great camera. I better not lose my focus. Else i would end up replacing x10 with x10
The biggest selling point so far would be the camera quality.. if the camera is important to you, the amaze is the phone for you. Besides the phone being quite snappy(I'm coming from a Samsung galaxy s), and some other notable perks.. the camera really is high quality. It focuses faster, captures much higher quality than my last 5mp phone did.. and the phone overall does everything you could expect a phone to do.
I am happy with the amaze. I'm not a heavy user, and if you are I would say buy a spare battery.. but otherwise I would say this is a great device to upgrade to. I did a fair amount of research, and I would say this phone is a big upgrade from any other phone tmobile has to offer. Buy it, there is no good reason I can find not to.
Not the best picture in the world, but here is an example of the quality you can get with the built in panoramic pictures.. normal and hdr are even better, but for the quality of panoramic pictures from stock app to be this good.. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13692699/IMAG0008.jpg

Third the camera post the camera is amazing I miss my amaze's camera I have a galaxy s 2 now and its nowhere near as good as the amaze. in low light you might as well have a VGA camera with this gs2 the amaze really performed well. The battery life was great on my part coming from the sensation it was better I think people expect too much out of large touchscreen devices when it comes to battery life.

I agree.. with juice defender I got 21 hours out of the battery yesterday. Having it only allow data every 15 minutes with screen off and 4g with screen on didn't inconvenience me at all.. today I'm going to see how long it lasts without juice defender.. and I just got my spare batteries so it doesn't really matter anymore anyways.
Overall, I'm very happy with this phone.

I heard on a video a girl saying the still pictures got better quality in the dark with the sgs ii lol, it made no sense to me but she seemed pretty convinced xD
Don't forget the audio quality, music quality to be specific! Headphones with either SRS or EQ enabled is top quality for any phone. I'm using my Nexus for now, still have my Amaze and I can say music and camera apps for the Amaze make great purchase points!

Actually, I agree. The quality of the audio is noticeably better than my old phone. Another big perk, listening to poweramp on this phone doesn't seem to kill battery like it used to on my vibrant.. very impressed.

I never saw a good description of what is different about fauxes kernel, or if the ones included with roms are stock.. I know fauxes allows oc, but I haven't been interested enough to look into it more than that. If I get better battery maybe I'll give it a go, though I'm pretty happy thus far.

Not true, copy the battery stats file before flashing, flash, put back old file.. problem solved. Any rom can include a script that does this as part of the flashing of the rom, but still easy enough to do yourself.

It also under volts AKA saves power consumption at times when phone is not being used or just tweaked to consume less even in use.

I probably misread it, I think I was pretty tired when I replied..
Only downside is the flash bleeds into night pictures. Have to tape it.

As per my issue I would Luke to inform you to make a checklist about your needs and try to match on gsmarena with your checklist. I hope you will find your best one.
Another thing is no device are fully compiled for all sort of needs like surfing, gaming, music, video etc. Every device has its own pros & cons, you will find these over gsmarena too.
Please update us about your needs and your selection. So that this thread will be helpful for other's whone looking for it.

Large screen is not that important for me. Good battery, yes. I would prefer sense but with my requirements, it doesn't fit my budget.
My requirements:
GPU for HD Games
Camera 5MP or above
Screen resolution should be good
At least 1 Ghz processor
And some other basic needs that now a days are fullfilled on almost all the handsets. Oops and also xda support/development of tons should be good.
For the above specs, I found Neo V to be beneficial. Any other suggestions ?

I don't really know how much your budget is since my currency is the Euro but for your requirements (mine were pretty much the same) I would buy Xperia Play (if you're really into gamming). I also considered Neo V but I wanted a bigger screen and the physical controls are really awesome. Neo V is around 160€ in my country and I bought Play for 200€, not that much difference.
I'd recommend a galaxy S. Strong gpu beautiful screen flash and good rom development..

****.. now I'm really confused between these three phones:
HTC One V - doesn't have front camera
Sony Ericsson Neo V - less internal space and a bit old
Samsung Galaxy S - less ROM
Above phones have its cons. I'm from India and here, 3G is not yet fully established. It might take almost a year or 2 for it to get established fully.

Don't buy the galaxy s. Its a nice phone but very old and Samsung has stopped supporting it. You're better off with the Sony or HTC phone that you've mentioned.

Do your research on the phones available to you and make up your own mind. Never and I mean never get a phone based on how many Developers the phone has because you will be disappointed when the next best device comes out and the Devs move devices as they tend to do.
In closing make up your own mind

Hi,
My girlfriend has a HTC Buzz: Wildfire
But he is already 2 years almost 3 years old..
At the moment he's very slow, battery is dead after 10h stand-by
But she doesnt want a big phone, the phone must have the same size as the wildfire and better as the wildfire
Well size is different with every phone, but i mean it may not be difference of 1 cm
It doesnt have to be a HTC, but no lg
So what do you recommend?
Thank you very much
