LG Optimus 2X going to T-Mobile USA as the G2x?
T-Mobile USA users have limited choice of smartphones as the carrier uses unconventional 3G bands. Well, any T-Mo subscribers with an appetite for the Tegra2 powered LG Optimus 2X should be on the lookout for T-Mobile G2x.
Some leaked materials showcase the LG Optimus 2X under the name T-Mobile G2x. The shot is about some promotion (which advertises that you can win a G-Slate, LG"s Android tablet) but still, it"s a pretty clear indication that T-Mobile will carry the dual-core Optimus 2X droid.
Unfortunately, this gives no info on what kind of price to expect or when the T-Mobile G2x will be available (some old, pre-MWC rumors say March). Anyway, we"ve already reviewed the Optimus 2X and the G2x variant shouldn"t be much different that the one we tested.
It"s possible that T-Mobile will advertise the G2x as a 4G capable smartphone, but on their network that means HSPA+ rather than LTE.
And G2x is probably not the cleverest name since there are two more G2"s in the operator"s lineup, both of which made by HTC.
