It is important to indicate that for this device, there is an innovation in the market, the first intelligent cell phone, which brings DTS Mobile Ultra ™, this I can see from the following web address:

This is impressive because the sound that offers no comparison with any other on the market.

That is strange though I guess T-mobile regulates it in certain areas maybe? No matter, I got both usb and wireless to take advantage of.

    Still mad this phone doesn't have a thumb cursor... makes mobile browsing so much easier!

      So far, I think the phone is okay. It does lack some features that my MyTouch4G (HTC Glacier) had.
      I'm not sure if the HDMI output feature will ever be handy but, a HDMI input would be nice.
      Phone ships without stereo/Mic earbuds and does not come with an external SDcard. I wasn't very pleased with the idea of an internal SD card thats not customizable within the phone.

      The portable WiFi.Hotspots feature completely sucks compaired to the HTC Glacier (MyTouch4G). Im a truck driver so, I travel to many cities with 4G. I run the SpeedTest app on the phone with both WiFi sharing on/off and get normal 4G speeds whereas on my brand new Toshiba X505 laptop, the speedtest from the laptop browser shows 2.5G speeds (.74mbps down) (1.2mbps up) (for an example).
      I ran speedtest again on phone both ways and then tethering USB. This time on laptop I was achieving same or near speeds.
      Didn't have that problem with the MyTouch4G.

      Also, LG neglected to include device drivers on the internal memory. Had to use phone to download the 32mb file. Once installed on PC, USB tethering worked flawlessly.

      Phone does not come with a thumb cursor. Which really sucks because I'm typing this review using this phone right now and, it's giving me a headache with the uber Bi-polar screen sensitivity.

      Don't like the Gorilla glass neither. Much to slick and smooth would probably explain the uber touch issue.

      Battery life is a joke. It does have dual-core...etc. yes but, I think they could have packed a better battery for it though. Remember capitalism always ruins things when greed gets in the way.


      PROS:
      Camera/Video Front camera.
      Dual core CPU.
      nVidia Tegra2.
      Size/weight.

      Cons:
      Bi-Polar screen sensitivity.
      No thumb cursor.
      Battery life.
      Lousy loud speaker.
      No extra accessories included (phone/charger only).

      Overall, I miss my MyTouch4G.

            I think the issue is your cell phone provider throttling you down.

            I have done speed tests in a "4g" enviornment and got 5mbps on the down where in the same location with the HTC G2 i only got about 2.5mbps.

            Newer 4G phones are capable of recieving over 14mbps. Obviously we are all being throttled at some level.

              The only catch is that you probably need an active tmobile account.

                  they wont give you the unlock codes,because they dont encourage it.

                        This phone sucks I dont know what you people talking about.I had it for couple days and thanks God sold it on ebay.The battery sucks,the speakers are terrible so low,making phone calls my sound voice is not clear and if you inside the house very low reception almost no 4g trying to use google voice can get the connection all the Time.I am still keeping my htc touch 4g for right now everything I mention runs better on my touch 4g period.Dont waste your money you will regret it.

                            and if we buy this phone from T-mobile off contract, how much does they charge for the phone and do they give the unlock code instantly? There and then?

                                  1. GPS not quite good, may be an update needed
                                  2. Phone Re-booted twice in 24 hrs.(not sure why)
                                  3. I believe its not a True 4G but its just HSPA

                                  i do not have it at all.

                                  my Cons is 2.2 android. This Phone is away too powerful
                                  for 2.2 needs 3.0

                                    Just bought the phone today and while trying to call and just got off the internet call would not go through and closed its self then I had to turn the phone off then turn back on to see if the phone call would go through and it did this already happen twice why I don't if its the hardware that they used that doesn't agree with the phone but I am returning to see what is bugging the phone

                                      just got mine yesterday. so far it's AMAZINGLY fast. really nice screen, and there's no lagging or jerking with the os. the only down for me so far is the extra mile u have to go to, to turn off the running apps. maybe it's how android does it, but u can't just easily see all ur running apps and turn them off. n it really has a toll on the battery life =/ but besides that, IT ROCKS! ;D
