Thats false information there's no acreditable source. I have the G2 phone myself before it was release today and it has no rootkits or anything that it says on that website. There's only 2 problems with the phone hinges being lose if you hold it upside down the screen will slide and opens the keyboard. The other problem is the limited space in the phone which they says it has 4gb but only got 1.21gb

So you've successfully rooted your G2?

i can't see that really being true, as Froyo is meant to come with tethering/hotspot abilities and the G2 is the next stock android phone released, since the Nexus one. T-mobile's stance is partially neutral also. They actually give you unlimited web, but once you hit 10gb's of data they slow you down, not charge you overages

I have come to the conclusion that you don't know what you are talking about and...

What the article is saying is this:

What ever stock features the G2 has out of the box is fine; but once you start rooting it and changing things around will you see this happen. Every time you turn off than on the G2 if there are alterations to the G2 OS the G2 will then reinstall it's original OS instead of booting up your modified root kit, themes, etc.

T-Mobile releases a statement explaining why they have installed an anti-root kit into the G2

update i guess cyanogen showed this on twitter

It was not intentional, it's a bug, and it seems t-mobile/htc made it seem unintentional, meaning the full root should be on its way soon , and when it does i'll prob buy the g2, til then im sticking to my rooted g1

Cyanogen is the sh*t.

Yeah apparently there isn't anything going on but T-Mobile went with the rumors which pisses me off. Jerks.

Yay G2! I can't wait!

[angrypenguin182]

Im gonna wait til the end of november to decide, there is a dual core qualcom snapdragon processor android phone being tested, and im hoping it's google's next big phone, but if it doesnt come out by then im going with the G2 or Mytouch, i prefer stock android so chances are ill get the G2

The Galaxy is soo sweet.

But I'm waiting for the dual core phones too.

Have had mine for 2 weeks.

Pros: Faaaast. Unit really optimized for 800mhz. Benchmarked faster than most 1Ghz units. And HSPA+ is stupid fast. I'm consistently getting 5-6 megs down. Keyboard rocks.

Cons: Batter life is a little lacking, you'll be charging it every night at a minimum. No FroYo update for WiFi Calling or tethering yet.

Z hings is a no big deal.

Bottom line, it's all about the network. If you have Strong TMo Mojo in your area, you can't go wrong.
