Bought a 2 week old G2 off swappa last year and havent had any complaints. Upgraded to Lollipop on AT&T and I have no issues, even the battery life hasnt changed much if at all, a lot of people were complaining that it reduced it but I havent noticed any difference.

Well, as much as I would like to upgrade I think I'll just stick to the $50 phones. The idea of paying nearly $200 for a phone and then have the glass break because of some freak thing doesn't appeal to me.

Read a couple reports from people buying the phone, having the glass break because if fell on carpet. They had to pay $125 to get it fixed and within 2 weeks the repaired phone had the glass break again.

Kind of disappointed really but its easier to replace the cheap smart phone if something bad happens.

I really do like my Windows Phone but it irritates me that they can't get google apps on it. Hell, iPhone gets google apps so why is google holding out on windows? ITs not like they are going to go out of business because of it.

G2s are going from 150-200 on eBay. Honestly, the chances of the glass breaking on a soft fall are really low IMO. And you can get a case if you're worried.

I hate cases. It makes the phone twice the size and they don't fit in the pocket as well. This one is $190 brand new but I am seeing way too many complaints about glass breakage and dead sections on the touch screen over time. I don't want to put that much money into something and end up with one of those scenarios.

that said, I have never broken a phone screen in my life but I have also never spent that much money for a phone.

The case I have is the official G2 case with the flap. Adds less than 2.5 millimeters to the phones thickness. I don't know if it's the reason my glass has never broke or even scratched really, but I like it a lot.

link please?

every phone case I see nearly doubles the size. I would think you need the bigger cases for ultimate protection anyway.

EDIT

nevermind. Found the case. Sure doesn't seem like it would be very protective as thin as it is.

You didn't know about tempered Fish? Way better than the plastic ones. Look better, feel better, protect better, totally worth it especially if you have an iPhone which cracks more glass than a Jewish wedding

No, I had no clue you could slap another piece of tempered glass on top of the phone's own tempered glass. I don't use screen protectors though. They're completely unnecessary for me.

My Coworker has a G2, i think it's a really nice phone. He does all of his business through it. I almost got one, but decided on the Amazon Fire phone since it was only $100.

I've read a lot of bad reviews on the Fire phone but i love it. I have no idea what some of those people were complaining about.

The only issue i've had with it thus far is that it doesn't play well with Google Play.

The main complaints i saw about the Fire phone was bad battery life and a lack of Apps.

Its a decent phone as long as you don't need Google Play apps. Its the main reason I won't even consider the Fire phone.

Hey I have had this G2 for little more than 2 weeks now. I like it so far screen is just right size and very sharp. The battery life is incredible on this phone about 2 solid days before depleted. Then lolipop snuck up like a thief in the night and whittled it down to about a day and half. Its a 32 gig with no micro SD and I dont like that as far as storeing my music library on it. After all the ATT bloat its about 20g. I plan to take care this in the near future. I need a little more time with it. My work phone a lumia 822 with windows 8.1 is so much better an operating system. Things just seem to work right and how it ought to but till Microsoft takes mobile phones serious and that will be never you will have Habib makes clones of apps to run apps popular on Android and Iphone. Habib is a bastard he wants to know everything about you. So until Habib is run out of Dodge its Android for me on personal phone.
Oh its a little disturbing to know the screen is as fragile as a bag of potato chips in the back pocket of a trucker.
