Default [Q] G2x, SGSII or SGS4G?

Alright, I currently own an SGS4G and i love it but i feel as the development is very limited. While i appreciate all of the work that the devs have put in, I have noticed that other phone have a lot mor development and it doesn't seem as though our development community has that fire-under-their-@$$ attitude that the community of other phones does. So, would it be wise to look at getting a G2x or an SGSII (if the US gets it)? I know @birgertime and @Krylon360 both have and develop for the G2x and I love Trigger and Bionix. So is it matbe time to look elsewhere?

First off I'm not gonna be one of those lil trolls saying "oh the devs put their heart out on their developement" type of deal. So imma say go for the SGSII cause its bigger, media powered, and will soon be more known than the iphone. G2x is just gonna be a phone that's know to us phone fanatics. SGSII is gonna be revolutionary...

But is it going to be released in the US? And thank you for not trolling, like i said, i love the devs for all of the work they put in, especially seeing as Krylon and birgertiome didn't have SGS4Gs of their own to model off of

I'm not impressed with my G2x, but it does have decent hardware. In my opinion, the battery is too small, it gets warm too easily, and what has really begun to bother me is it seems like data seems to stop working randomly; it'll look normal and show that it is sending info, but won't receive data for a minute for no reason. It did this on stock, and now on cm7 rc1. Not a deal breaker, but definitely my reasoning for using my sgs4g as my daily driver over it.

The processing power is great, development is good, and it's a good "feeling" phone to hold, but it definitely doesn't seem as easy to dev for as your typical vanilla android phone.

IF you decide to swap out I would forget about the g2x. Wife had it and it was just bad. I'm sure the us will get the sgs 2 but you may want to have a look at the Hercules that is coming as well.

The Hercules also looks great. Thanks for letting me know about it. I'm glad to hear that it's 4G as well (soon enough that will be the standard)

You realize there is only 5 of us that develop for this phone right 2 of which dont actually own the devices.

Team Whiskey Krylon and Dr Honk

Team Acid Myself Desexton BlackPHenoix and a few others

WhiteHawk

and a few others

Also the theme rs

Fire under our asses you do realize most of us have jobs and real lifes We do this as a hobby spend quite a few hours doing this and days and weeks if not longer and dont even get paid for it.. You want development At least its not a side kick they got one rom.

The other phones u speak of are international versions minus the gx2 which has a larger dev community.

So please before you spout that kinda stuff look at whos deving for the phone you are using before you make comments like that thanks
