Question [Q] should I let go of MT4 and get G2x?

It looks like every aspect on G2x is far superior than MT4, but one thing I still worry about is the calling quality.
Optimus T and Virgin don't have good call quality and the earpiece has some strange behavior, so this raises my concern. In addition, I'd like to know how is the speakerphone. It's poor on MT4, but speakerphone is exceptional on NS (this is a reason why I use NS more than MT4).
Now I'd like to know should I shell out $500 and get G2x and sell the "no defect" MT4?

I have both and the call quality is identical. The G2x beats the MT4G in all aspects.

The G2x has either equal or better build quality. Its just as solid as anything on the market.

I also have both and the build quality is great on the G2X. I never liked the buttons on the MyTouch 4G. I own the G1, BB9700, MyTouch 4G, NEXUS ONE and now the LG G2X, this is without a doubt the best device I every owned. I have always been a big fan of the Nexus One and use it every day. I tried Verizon and the Thunderbolt and after using it for about 5 days I found the LTE speeds were just fantastic but when it comes right down to practical use the web pages didn't download any faster then they did on T-Mobile's HSPA+ Network. I was getting around 13,000 DL on Verizon and about 5200 DL on T-Mobile and as I said the speeds don't make the user experience much different besides the lousy battery life on the Thunderbolt. I gave the Thunderbolt back and went back to the Nexus One. I like the ability to change sim cards on a daily basis and change my phones, can't do that on Verizon. Sorry for the ranting on but I just think if you are in a T-Mobile area there is no better Carrier to be with. Best plans, prices and the speeds are pretty darn fast.

I agree Thunderbolt is nice but even compared to my Nexus S, running on 3G, website pages were almost identical. The question for me is whether to get the G2X coming from a Nexus S. This is a good problem to have, either way its a win win

I have a 3 week old MyTouch that I just wiped clean (minus gfree root) that I plan on selling since I got my G2x. I was skeptical at first because I love my MyTouch 4g. I really thought that I'd end up selling the G2x, and staying with my MyTouch, but within two hours of getting the G2x, I had changed my mind.

The speaker phone is crystal clear. The speakers sound good when playing games, or video. If you have anymore questions, let me know.

How's the call quality? Do you use BT, if so, any connections problems with it.

No I don't use BT, and the call quality is fine. Haven't had a dropped call.

oh yea, mine will be here today when I get off work.

How is the microphone quality. I've noticed the noise cancellation features of the Nexus One were not as well incorporated into the MT4G and it struggles with using Voice compared to my N1. How is the G2x? I'll find out myself soon enough.
-Google Nexus ne / MyTouch 4G / Sensation 4G / Galaxy Nexus LTE
More not worth mentioning

-CM7+Nightly's on all
-CWM Recovery
-Kingston 16GB Class 10 / Patriot 16GB Class 10 x2 and a 32GB somewhere
