    \n\tThe T-Mobile G2x comes in the standard solid, colorful T-Mobile box with just a few accessories.

    \n\tCheck out my ZDNet Smartphones & Cell Phones blog post for more details and a video walk through of this new dual-core smartphone.

  • Front of the retail box

    \n\tThe front of the retail box shows a glossy image of the device.

  • Here's the G2x

    \n\tWhen you open up the box you will find the G2x nestled in a compartment and ready for you to pick up and enjoy.

  • Box contents of the G2x

    \n\tThere isn’t much else in the box except for a cable, charger, and some pamphlets. You don’t get any microSD card with the device.

  • Front of the G2x

    \n\tThe G2x has a 4 inch display with 480×800 resolution.

  • G2x in hand

    \n\tThe G2x is slightly narrower than many other large display smartphones and it feels great in your hand.

  • Top of the G2x

    \n\tThere is an HDMI port on the top of the G2x, between the 3.5mm headset jack and power button.

  • Right of the G2x

    \n\tThere are two simple volume buttons on the right of the G2x.

  • Bottom of the G2x

    \n\tThere is a speaker, mic, and microUSB port on the bottom.

  • Back of the G2x

    \n\tAn 8 megapixel camera and single LED flash are found on the back of the G2x.

  • Capacitive touch buttons

    \n\tThere are four capacitive touch areas below the display on the front of the G2x.

  • Curved glass at the boundaries on the G2x

    \n\tNotice how the glass curves around the sides and corners a bit to give it a very finished look and feel.
