[DISCUSSION] Anyone actually happy with the G2?

---

Hey guys!
First off, im new to this forum so i just wanted to say whats up...

Well, i ordered my G2 a couple days ago (it should be here tomorrow) and i have been reading alot of the topics and comments here..

-4 gb internal memory missing
-loose hinges
-hspa is not whats expected
-camera features
-no wifi tethering.....

i sold my vibrant on craigslist and got this phone... Is there anyone thats actually happy and satisfied with this phone??

Thanks everyone!!

Yeah it is a really great phone. It has some quirks but none that are serious, but what phone doesn't. Overall solid phone and the good far outweighs the bad.

I'm quite happy with it.
My hinge is not springloaded, but the design of the hinge works so that you have to be holding it almost perfectly upside down for it to flip, and the way I hold it in bed has my fingers ever so slightly on the edge of the screen holding it in place.
HSPA+ is nice, if you have the coverage.

The phone rocks at 800MHz, I can't wait until it's rooted so we can see how it fares at 1GHz.

Tethering will come with root. Don't really care about wifi tethering, USB is good for me.
Wifi reception is also much improved over my G1.

I am extremely happy with this phone ! Keep in mind most of the comments
you will hear are 90-10 . Thats 90% bad and 10% good . Just a reminder to
not get too worried about it because thats just the way people are

Coming from the Vibrant, I will say that I loved th escreen size on it, as well as the slimmer form factor. That being said, the lack of led notifications, a camera flash, non-functioning gps (even with "fixes", it was half-ass at best), no trackball (which made placing the cursor at specific points bewteen words very difficult), and Samsung's seeming unwillingness to commit to a hard deadline for a fix to any of the software issues described here and eslewhere, let alone a definite date for a 2.2 update, had made me nostalgic for an HTC device.

Unfortunately, when I got the Vibrant, my wife became the proud new owner of my carefully kept, rooted, booted, and scooted Nexus One, so I was stuck.

Personally, I really like it. It's like a Nexus one with a keyboard, without the colored trackball, with a faster processor, an edge-lit trackpad, slightly more girth, and a better gpu.

It is a solid phone. Think of it as a N1 with a kisk-ass keyboard!

I am a happy camper.
