I don’t want to say I told you so, but upon the hinge mechanism of the T-Mobile G2 first being revealed I immediately voiced concern with how it would hold up structurally to repeated use. I was more concerned with the what to were me weak looking hinges snapping after continued use, but it turns out some customers only had to open the G2s to discover loose and faulty connections between the screen and keyboard halves of the phone. As demonstrated in the video below the loose hinge will both open and shut at its own will given certain conditions, including what looks like the exact angle you may use the phone at if you were say lying in bed and texting.
The second problem them seems to be arising is G2 units shipping with half the memory promised. If you recall, the G2 is supposed to get a full 4GB of internal storage, but some handsets are showing up with only 2GB. That just happens to be the same amount specced out for the HTC Desire Z. A pretty brutal mix up, and enough to irritate any new G2 owner. Anyone out there experiencing any of these issues?
