“T-Mobile’s first smartphone to feature a dual-core processor, the G2x is the latest smartphone to join T-Mobile’s G-series lineup on America’s largest 4G Network and it has a lot more to offer!”
T-Mobile G2X Preloaded with Pure Android, there is one caveat to the "pure Android" qualification always. This makes using an Android phone a gruesome, troublesome affair. Most Android phones nowadays come with a baggage of preloaded software aka bloat-ware! This stuff isn't a huge deal, since one can easily ignore or unload it and use whatever software one wants. But the entire rigmarole is hugely annoying. It is so unpleasant to have a bunch of content preinstalled and essentially stuck on your new phone, even when you don’t want it.
This is the most noteworthy thing about the T-Mobile G2X with Google 4G. The phone’s virgin. That is, the phone runs a pure, vanilla version of Android, with no manufacturer-added skins mucking applications. Thus you don’t have to really live the painful procedure of unloading, reloading etc. The phone, unfortunately, does ship with the already-dated Android 2.2, aka Froyo, release -- but T-Mobile and LG are promising a speedy upgrade to Android Gingerbread (2.3) after its launch. And the fact that the phone is skin-free should make that and future Android upgrades a relatively pain-free process.
