T-Mobile, which some would argue sat on the success of the original G1 for a bit too long, has been building up an impressive army of capable Android devices as of late. One of the newest entries is the G2x built by LG. This spunky dual-core smartphone will be available in stores beginning April 20, 2011, but you can hop online right now and order one from T-Mobile for $200, provided you sign up for a 2-year service agreement.
One of the best things about the G2x is it isn't saddled with a custom overlay, instead shipping with the stock version of Android 2.2 (Froyo) pre-installed, upgradeable to Android 2.3 (Gingerbread). There's also Nvidia's Tegra 2 dual-core processor clocked at 1GHz, 8GB of internal memory, 512MB of RAM, microSD card slot, 4-inch WVGA display, Full HD 1080p TV-out via HDMI, 720p video recording, 8MP rear-facing camera, 1.3MP front-facing camera, 802.11b/g/n, and 4G support.
If you want to save a few bucks, Walmart has it up for preorder for $180, or you can get it for $150 through Wirefly.

My understanding is that the G2x will work with either T-Mobile or AT&T's network. So if the deal does go through, and they turn off the AWS IV band or something, then this could still work on AT&T's 3G band?
Anyway, if this phone is running stock Android, is it unlocked? I realize these are two different things, I'm just being hopeful :)

Didn't know Froyo was both 2.2 and 2.3..................
Anyway looks like a promising phone. Will this be affected by this AT&T stuff though (assuming it ever gets through)?

Froyo is for 2.2, Gingerbread is 2.3.
It probably won't make the transfer to AT&T (if the deal goes through) so it may be out for only a short period of time.
