G2 “Temporary root” problem: T-Mobile responds.

The G2 is easily one of if not the best Android devices on T-Mobile. No, it may not have the blinding speed of the Galaxy S Vibrant or raw speed and developer-friendly roots of the N1, but that doesn’t matter. The G2 packs a stock build of Android. That right there makes it better than the Vibrant as it will get updates faster and isn’t marred by a tacky 3rd party UI. But that argument is neither here nor there.

If you’ve spent any amount of time here, you probably already know that I’m an Android junkie. In fact, I’d even say that I love the Android platform. I’m a huge tinkerer and tweaker.

Being such a geek at heart means I’m always checking DROID...
