I can't lie, it's as good as advertised. This phone is everything i've been looking for (except for my LTE issue). I wasn't interesting in extending the contract, as it's not really my place to do that. I just play the swappa game with Craigslist. Bought the G2, sold the Note2 within an hour of eachother. Effectively paid $100 for the G2 . Plus I got in on the Amazon price mistake and got an AT&T G2 outright for $199. That's going on craigslist when it shows up tomorrow, so somehow in the past 12hours I've managed to make money. Today was quite productive, lol.
