Should I get a SG2E4GT?

[Kamron]

I became eligible for an upgrade Dec 1, I currently have a LG Optimus S, rooted, CM7, and love it, and I'm considering an upgrade. The thing is, I've read about some LoS (loss of service/signal) problems with the E4GT, and I'm worried about that. Despite digging around, I'm not sure that there is a fix for this. My Optimus S is reliable, and I'd hate to suffer any reliability issues if I choose the E4GT. What are your guys thoughts on how prevalent LoS is?

And are there any other issues besides that I should worry about?

Get it. You wont be sorry. i came from the photon which has killer radios and worked great after the three updates. I was also concerned about the LoS and roaming problems i read about but so far not one...single...problem. I made great decision.

I would wait for a fix to the many issues with the phone. I wouldnt get a phone that has known issues and havn't been fixed in 2 months.

LOS issues are most common around areas where there is fluctuating / low signals. Many of us never encounter the LOS but some do.

Get it if you want the best sprint has to offer. Personally, I've never encountered a los until i went into the middle of nowhere while driving on the freeway...

I've been running the EK02 update since shortly after it was leaked, and I feel strongly that its solved the LOS problem. The update should be heading out via a OTA very soon, or you could root and flash it right away. Either way, LOS shouldn't be an issue for you if you decide to buy it. Good luck!

You won't be disappointed. A great phone...just allow time to familiarize yourself with everything it can do...it's endless. Start off with the"Sticky" on the forum for Tips, Tricks and FAQ before you start asking endless questions
Whenever I get bored with the phone, I review Tips and Tricks to discover more.
Best of luck.

I have had a good experience with the E4GT, no LOS issues with mine. This phone is really fast and smooth, handles everything I throw at it with grace. I LOVE the camera on this phone!! I don't think you will regret getting this phone.

I have had mine a few months and have yet to experience LOS, GPS or other issues. Its been a very reliable device.
