The T-Mobile G2X smartphone may not have the fastest processor, but what sets it apart from other competitors is its 4G network capability. 4G smartphones can achieve web speeds ranging from 3 to 6 Mbps, providing a DSL or cable-like internet experience on your device. A 4G connection enables users to utilize high-speed connections for video calling, video conferencing, and more. Unlike 3G phones, which require a Wi-Fi connection for live video streaming, 4G offers broader availability and greater flexibility. However, the current drawback of 4G is limited network coverage, as not all countries provide 4G connections, although this is gradually improving.

Another distinguishing factor is its operating system, Android 2.2 Froyo. Froyo 2.2 boasts excellent multitasking features, setting it apart from competitors like the iPhone. However, newer iPhone platforms like OS 4.0 now offer impressive multitasking capabilities as well. The preference for a multitasking platform varies among individuals and depends on their specific needs. The Android platform includes built-in GPS navigation, voice-to-text translation capability, Google Earth, Sky Map, Latitude, Google Talk, and an open-source application plan. In contrast, the iPhone only allows applications that are approved for the App Store. Additionally, the Android interface is highly customizable, and the ability to access all of Google’s excellent applications is a major advantage.

While the T-Mobile G2X impresses users with its remarkable internet speed, its 800 MHz Qualcomm Scorpion processor falls behind the 1 GHz chips found in many of its competitors. The slower processing speed may affect the performance of certain phone applications. In terms of memory, the phone features a standard 512 MB RAM with 4 GB of ROM, including 1.9 GB for apps. The phone’s touch screen measures a decent 3.7 inches with a resolution of 480 x 800. It also includes a 5-megapixel camera with autofocus and flash, capable of shooting high-definition videos at speeds of up to 720p.

One particularly notable feature of the T-Mobile G2X is its QWERTY keyboard, which complements the phone’s touch screen. With four rows and ample space, the slide-out keyboard offers a comfortable typing experience. Users can customize hotkeys for quick application launches. Alternatively, they can choose to use the on-screen keyboard when the slide-out keypad may be cumbersome to deploy.

The G2X’s 4G connection makes it an excellent choice for individuals who frequently find themselves in places without Wi-Fi access. The Android 2.2 platform provides access to Google’s wide range of exceptional apps, including Google Earth and Google Talk, along with extensive multitasking capabilities. While other features of the phone, such as the camera and microprocessor, are satisfactory, they may not be the best in their class. Accessories for the phone are widely available online, and users can easily search for cases or screen protectors using popular search engines like Google and Yahoo.
