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:
http://www.dts.com/Corporate/Press_Room/Press_Releases/2011/05/TMobile_G2X.aspx
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.

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
