T-Mobile G2x gets a $50 price bump, still no stock in sight

It seems like the G2x saga isn’t over quite yet; after first disappearing from store shelves resulting from quality concerns “high demand,” the dual-core Android smartphone is getting a slight price hike from T-Mobile. As of May 27th, the out-of-stock Froyo handset decided it was worth a different Grant (quite the presumptuous fellow, no?), dialing in with a brand new price of $249 after rebate. An internal screenshot describes the value hop as a reaction to inventory constraints. The supposed effects of supply and insist aside, this price adjustment feels just a little shaky amid reports of botched WiFi handoffs, overheating, light leakage and reboot issues. Optimistically, the G2x will return to store shelves sporting a worry-free update to Gingerbread; but when you are not relying on it, you possibly can snag one at Amazon to the tune of $99. Oh, and look: plenty in stock, too!
