Default G2X well built

Saturday I took a chance and called local TMO store and asked if they had a g2x and the guy said yes but I have to come in and specifically ask to see it. So I did and I don't know what I was expecting but g2x is a solid phone.

I'm currently rolling w/ a Nexus One so I'm used to a phone feeling like a phone. When I held the G2x I was sold right then and there.I've played with my Wife's Galay S 4g, vibrant, captivate, and Epic; reason why I bring that up is because I was trying to decide whether to get g2x or GalaxyS2. If you ever held a motorola droid 1or2 or X the G2x feels like that. I wanted to throw that out there for ppl that were wondering. I'm gonna throw an otter box on that g2x and its gonna be a beast.

I agree with you. I went into I T-mobile last Friday and played with their G2x, and was impressed with it's feel. I can't stand any of the Galaxy series phones because of their plasticy feel. One of the reasons I prefer HTC over the majority of brands is because their phones are built tough. I prefer a phone with some weight.

I feel like a little kid waiting for Santa Claus to come. I've been waiting for UPS to show up since 8am with my G2x.

Dang you I'm playing Mr. Patient because I know amazon, wirefly, or radio shack will throw the phone on sale for 199 or 149 with NO mail in rebates. I've been waiting since Oct for a phone to replace my beloved Nexus one whats a few more days AHHHHHH!

Just came back from a T-Mobile store. I have to say, this phone is VERY well built and VERY light.

Just got back from T Mobile store and after having played with a G2X for about a half an hour I am IMPRESSED!!!!!!!!!!!! Very Very solid built(felt as good or better than my Nexus One) This phone flies out of the box. I have a Vibrant which is rooted and has a custom rom and is running an OC 1.4ghz kernel and I thought it was fast but the G2X is just so smooth and fast!! Actually faster than my Oc Vibrant with no tweaking. It just feels so good in the hand and the weight to me is just perfet. I am to receive mine tomorrow and I am anxiously awaiting.
