Wind Mobile: LG Optimus 2x Launched

LG Optimus 2X
The "Wind" has finally blown the LG Optimus 2X over to this side of the world. Sporting a 4" Gorilla glass  480 x 800 pixels LCD screen, this new dual core monster will surely be a hit.  Whether its the HDMI output or its massive 8MP camera, this phone is considered creme de la creme of cell phone's this year.  LG has finally brought us a phone that we can say WOW!  I only have a few gripes that I have with this phone and one of them is that it comes factory installed with Android 2.2 Froyo , I would have expected Gingerbread as a standard for smart phones by now.

Specs:
LG Optimus 2X
8MP camera
1.3MP front facing camera
Dual-core 1GHz ARM Cortex-A9 proccessor, ULP GeForce GPU, Tegra 2 chipset
1080P Video

Using T-Mobile phones on Wind or Mobilicity

There has been a lot of confusion in the market with which phones can and cannot be used with Wind or Mobilicity. Both Wind and Mobilicity run on AWS (Advance wireless service) which is a 3G protocol competing with the HSPA or HSPA+. But its not GSM. This is where i feel the confusion is. T mobile USA (TMobile UK will not work), Wind Mobile and Mobilicity both operate on 1700/2100 MHz AWS. Most phones from these carriers will work with each other. T-Mobile also has GSM, so that's why i wrote most! FYI: Blackberry will make the same model twice.
1. HSPA + GSM - Rogers, Fido, Bell, Telus, Koodo, Chatr(they currently don't have data)
2. AWS - Wind and Mobilcity

Here is the list of phones from T mobile that will work with either Mobilicity or Wind. These are the current phones that T-Mobile sells.
