tmobile one was fake..and there is no android 3.0 yet

The phone does look amazing, but the biggest drawback in my opinion is the same thing that made me purchase a Hero; "Sense" (even though I love it). Maybe HTC's OS release times will improve, but I'm not so sure it'll be worth waiting so long for them to update the UI every time a major OS update is released in the future. I think it'll be vanilla Android only, for me, from here on out. I just need something with that 4.3" screen

I want it!!!!

My next device will have a physical keyboard and large screen.

HTC is coming out with phone after phone. But has no time to support the phones that are already out. This ticks me off a bit..

meh...i can wait. My Hero does just fine for me, and I can wait until October to see what comes out when I upgrade again

if it's sprint, where is their logo?
they won't sell a phone without that on it. Could be an early mockup, but still
I can wait...
Hero is the best phone I've had yet, if I can hold onto an Instinct for a yr, I can easily stay with this...

I want a full keyboard android phone. The moment sucks though

Meh. 4.3" screen is too large to carry around day-to-day.
I'll take a Hero-sized device with Snapdragon, thanks.

Maybe you should quit wearin skinny jeans then.
Im rockin this bad boy when my upgrade comes back up Oct. 11, 2010.

Ha Ha. Skinny jeans. I think im gonna rock the fanny pack again and pick this sucker up. Cant get rid of my skinny jeans.

I have been really impressed with Android so far despite the fact that the Hero is "officially" still stuck on 1.5...
I'm still primarily a WinMo user (personal phone: Sprint Touch Pro running VetVito's newest ROM), but my work got my dept a Hero as a remote-support/on-call phone, which actually kind of backfired as we were expecting it would have VPN (the Sprint Rep told us it would), so I have been testing out the custom Hero ROMs trying to find one with functional VPN (i.e. 1.6/2.0/2.1). No luck yet, but there are a couple new ROMs out in the last few days that I haven't had a chance to try yet...
But in regard to my personal phone, I am really hoping that Sprint will have a phone w/ a larger screen by the time my upgrade comes back up in Feb. I would totally go for an Android phone, but being that I have been primarily a WinMo user since ~2001 I am pretty exited about WinMo 7 coming out, too bad they won't have any phones actually released until well after I will use my next upgrade...
But I am praying that Sprint will either get the Android 2.1 update for the Hero or another Android phone that comes with 2.1 by the time I upgrade, I really like the Hero but I am going to go with the most current OS I can...
And Snapdragon + a bigger screen would rock!

I agree...I don't want a phone bigger in size than my Hero, but I would like a full screen from top to bottom with smaller buttons, the buttons on the bottom and that stupid trackball could go and I'd be even happier...
I saw a Droid on the train I take home and there is no way I could carry that thing around all day.

Let's be real for a minute... I want 2.1 as bad as anyone, and it's really frustrating not to have it since there have been leaked roms floating around for a couple months... but riddle me this:
Other than the Droid and Nexus 1, which phones have received a 2.x update?
HTC isn't any further behind the 8 ball than anyone else in this regard.

No phones from anyone anywhere have received a 2.x update. Period.
It looks like the Hero will actually end up being among the first, if not the first, to receive it.

No love for the trackball??? I personally love it...living in Denver I don't want to have to pull my gloves off to look at the widgets. I wouldn't mind an optical 'trackball'.
And for the size, I'm not sure yet if it's to big. I would love to check it out once it's out and see if it's pocketable and sized right for day to day use. My guess is that 4.3" is probably about as big as you'd ever want to go before it simply becomes a tablet...

What are u going to do with your old phones?

As the title says, where do you put ur old phones? GF, sell, throw away, donate it?
I'm pretty happy that I managed to sell my HTC Tattoo, but maybe there are phone models which can't be sold anymore because they are not valuable anymore...

i have plenty of friends with less money then i

Selling my Htc magic hehe to a guy that was honest with me that he wants to buy them to fix and re-sell them (doesn't care about condition), and a good price too of 235$ canadian.
unless I can find higher i'll sell to him.
can't wait for sammy phone

The store I ordered it buys the old phones

As I do with all my old phones, give it one of the nursing staff who need it better than I.
EDITED:
Forgot to say, it's an HD2

The phone i'm currently using is having its last breath and i don't know how it's working right now :\
Plus its company had a bankrupcy so even if i tried to donate it ,it'll be thrown back at my face ... guss what is it ?!
Its name is O2 Atom Life , i had Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 before but it died in front of my eyes so i went back to the mentioned device >_>
When i buy Galaxy S i want to do something with my O2 that'll makes me feel good and right now the only idea i'm having is throwing it from a high place

Gonna try to sell my bricked G1 on ebay. Hopefully someone would need parts when I do.

Giving mine to the GF, its the HTC Desire, which I still like immensely and want to keep around to play with when it gets Froyo etc

o2 mini
Putting my legendary O2 mini as table clock. Task reminder and daily weather report.

Wife's destiny!
The goal before my eyes, to buy the galaxy s, I had to promise my wife that she is allowed to crush my diamond with big hammer!!!
She hate's it so much, cause I played araound and flashed new ROMs all the time
I have a feeling that it will be getting worse with the galaxy s, but at least I have green lieght to buy one...

Thank you man.
But, I love her and I especially love the idea to make a HD video of the crushing & perhaps burning session with wicked and wild look in her eyes.
I'm looking forward to the death of my Diamond since it is already half-dead and I'm really annoyed of it.

In that case.........

So very, very mad at my G1. A trip to the desert with my 12 gauge will set things right!

Use it as my drunk phone when I'm out and drinking.
Or maybe I just use my even older W850i for that.
X1 wasn't really cheap when it come out and I dont know if I want to lost it when I'm drunk.
It's still awesome phone.

Ill send in my nexus one to google to get it replaced for minor cosmetic damage. Then i'll either sell it, give it to the wife (which is unlikely since she drops and loses all the gadgets i give her) or put it in the draw on top of my Xperia X1i.

Dont even make me bring up umbrellas ... The loss of my umbrellas brings a tear to my eye ... they were not just regular umbrellas they were art.
A week later after she had borrowed my umbrella ... "Hey babe do you know where my umbrella is ..." She replies ... "Oh, yea, I forgot it in the train, im sorry. Can i borrow this other one its pouring outside?"
At that point I just have to give up and give in. It is a helpless cause ... what did i get myself into.

I can't give my old one to the misses, she already wants a Galaxy S too, and being Korean she thinks she's more entitled to the first one!
I'll probably put a stock ROM back on my HD and offer it up on FreeCycle.

I'll keep my touchpro and drop the sim in it when I'm out on the water. That way if my phone goes swimming at least it's not the galaxy.

Hardware, like most Samsung products, is usually pretty immaculate - can't complain about that. TouchWhiz UI is likely garbage as with most Samsung products software.
So with Root and a competent developer who could get AOSP working - Rockin.

My problems with the moment were hardware related. I'm going to keep an eye on this phone though. I want a kicking 3G phone though since I don't live in a 4G area and hate the idea of paying extra for a feature I won't use.

Also they seem to hate the default way of setting up Android OS. Their file system is pretty bizarre.

Im happy to see this come to sprint..for one reason..they need it. more android..look at verizon.. lol

This is like phone porn. I'm all horny for touchwiz 3. http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-epic-4g-preview/

Think this will be my next phone, i'm tired of waiting for HTC to put out a killer android phone that has a slide out keyboard. I have had bad experiences with samsung phones in the past (they were before smart phones even existed) but i'm willing to give them one more shot with this phone.

I've never had a Sammy phone. I had a couple Sony Ericsson's and then the HTC Wizard came out, been with HTC ever since. The hard qwerty is what drew me to HTC, I had no idea places like xda existed. It's been over a year since HTC has made a keyboard phone and the HTC Vision has one but I think it's only going to Tmous and I can't do that because they dont have a single 3G tower in Arkansas... I'm presently on AT$T because when I first got a cellular in 2003 Cingular was the best carrier in the state and I'm a creature of habit so I've stuck with them. But, they suck about picking up phones I like, the iPhone has hamstrung their network, and they're handing out free femtocells but when I called about that they basically told me to fu*k off. My two complaints about my TP2 are slowness and no headphone jack. Epic 4G/Galaxy S Pro ameliorates both of those to a t...
So, how do you people like Sprint? They'd save me money and I like the new phone every year... Also, what's the build quality like on sammies? Last question is are they as easy to take apart/repair as HTC phones are?

I have to say that every samsung phone I, or anyone I know has owned, holds up like a tank. They drop them, throw them and step on them and they are fine. I wouldn't be that rough, but its nice to see.

Really? I was a little worried about build quality since they seem to use a lot of plastic and little if any metal. I'd love for Epic's slider to be as firm as the Droid's but wasn't expecting much.

Well, their initial quality is what it is. But they stay in that condition with very good resilliance in my, and my friend's, experience.

I have a sammy dumbphone, the a727, and it has amazing build quality. Soft touch plastic, super thin and light, great battery life.
Samsung can make a good phone if they put their minds to it. The epic seems like the best galaxy phone, mostly because of that soft touch back. Getting the soft touch battery cover for my Pre made it feel five times better, much more solid and durable than the crappy glossy bendy plastic that is default on the pre(and the other galaxy variants).

Can you see how far we've gotten in the world of on the go? =)
Another thing. Isn't this video just beautiful? --> Epic

Reflecting on Android OS from an early adopter (10/20/2008 - present)

There was something off about the iPhone to me back in 2007 when everyone first heard of the thing...prior to that I had a hard time adjusting to the apple experience, and being that I don't listen to music iPods and iTunes NEVER interested me. I do not like the way OS X is set up (seriously, finder bar? give me a menu in every window) but I did like the unification of the OS...anyways...the iPhone was cool, I liked it. It definitely was a game changer, no one will deny that. But this phone and it's sea of icons did not interest me...it was fun to look at, but just as with the finder bar, this sea of icons turned me off to the whole deal.
Anyways, I begin hearing whispers of an OS from Google...early screenshots leak (underwhelmed with the BB OS looking thing) then screenshots of the updated version begin to leak and what can I say...this thing was hideous...the icons, everything...just ugly...but I jumped in anyways...contract was up, I needed a new phone, and I liked everything else I read about it and I liked the desktop like feel of Android OS (that i inferred from images at least, as I hadn't touch the OS yet) anyways...October 20th, 2008...my phone arrives in the mail..I turn it on, I set it up...and I like it...not as polished as I would've hoped...but it was what it was.
Android still felt like a beta product (which carries to this day though to less an extent) but I managed despite my gripes with the phone...the market was immature, the OS was immature, MMS didn't work right, web was slow, browser was ugly, hell, the entire UI was what I would call ugly, but it was functional, and customizable as hell...at this point I didn't update but soon Jesusfreke released his rooted builds....and yea...the fun started then...I was no longer tied to T-mobile's release schedule...I had JFs 1.5, 1.6, tried hero, Eclair...then I heard of this Nexus One thingamajig...and I had to have it...So I had a plan.
I through sheer luck managed to acquire a seat at Google's Android Developers Lab in NYC for February 12th...at this point the Nexus had been out for a while, but me, knowing Google, KNEW I'd be getting a free phone...and I did.....a Motorola Droid...I must admit, I assumed the phone ugly...but damn was this thing sexy in hand...right heft, great display, speedy, HORRIBLE KEYBOARD, but Android 2.0 proved itself to be the OS Android should've been from the start...so I enjoyed my Droid for a week, rooted it, skinned it, etc...then put it back to stock sold it for 400 and used an additional 166.03 to buy the Nexus One...
and yea...Android after 1.5 years...is finally where it should be, and it can only go up. I still have my gripes with market Devs and their horrible understanding of UI and UX and even Icons....but for the most part, having been there since day 1 I am proud of where Android is heading...No where to go but up...

Sorry, couldn't resist =) I agree though, it's been what.. 2 years or so, and we have an OS that's ready to beat the crap out of the market leader, Apple.
Imagine what will it be in 2 more years. People won't even remember that Apple made phones.

Sure they will, they'll be all "Finally a well designed phone running Halo Halo.

Damn,a lot of nostalgia posts like this lately.perhaps we're all itching for the nexus 2.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

I agree.
I got a T-Mobile G1 first day it came out, then a year later, got the MyTouch3G and had it for a month and returned it. Got pissed cuz the hardware was way underpowered. (Cupcake was the latest firmware back then).
I switched to the iPhone 3GS had it for 10 months. Jailbroken, hacked to hell, and you know what? It was great to use. Apps was a pleasure to use, games were awesome. I then got bored with it (as I do with EVERYTHING), and decided to try out the Nexus One with 2.1, hoping Android OS matured A LOT from Cupcake.
Well it did a bit, but still lacking in a lot of things. Currently on my Nexus One FRF91 firmware and yeah, having to deal with bugs and what not, it's painful. And the apps, gawd, it's horrible still .
Anyways I'm sticking with it, cuz I'm too broke to buy a new phone and pray each day Google improves Android little by little.

I started with windows way back when I was parting out my Civic SI and traded some dc racing headers for the Cingular 8125. I was like "wow this is so much cooler than my razr!" ..especially when I discovered tethering. But a 13,000 dollar cell bill later and I learned my lesson with that. Anyway.. I got fed up with WM while using the Kaiser and started researching Android. I purchased the N1 a week after it came out and haven't looked back. Gave my gf the ATT Tilt 2. She hates my Nexus One since her fingernails wont work with the touch screen, lmao.

True that bro!
My love started back when I bought my G1 in Ocrober 2008.
I've known then, what I know now - just with more certainty.
I know that Google and Android™ are fukken phenomenal. Apple and Microsoft are shiet. And all my future phones, and the phones of my family, will be Android™ based (as will be our microwaves, refigerators, televisions, ebooks, etc )

There's always something NEW to tinker with: a ROM, kernel, build.prop, theme, some new amazing app that, etc.

[Q] Vibrant vs HD2

I've watched countless videos on Youtube and researched them both on google, but I just can't seem to come to a decision on which is better.
The Vibrant has native android which runs smooth AND records videos in 720p which is a really nice bonus, but the HD2 just has this massive screen which just looks like it kicks *** BUT can also run Android (with some bugs apparently). When it comes to battery life, which is better? My day is filled with heavy texting and the occasional web browsing but not really emails or networking since I hate Facebook and all that.
Any help here?

I've had both and Vibrant hands down. Not even a contest honestly. The only thing the HD2 has over the Vibrant is a little larger screen and even then the Vibrant is a better screen.

Here you go.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745201&highlight=Vibrant+hd2

we're getting too many of the threads....
if you look at them side by side and open the same apps etc, you will see that the hd2 is garbage.

Vibrant indeed, was at the T-Mo store and mom was considering it for some bizarre reason, the T-Mo rep told her to not consider it, on top of all the obvious reasons posted in many threads, the device itself seems to be very buggy and the rep said most people have problems with the device

If you can afford a Lexus why buy a Hyuandai that looks like one? Go with the vibrant, my hd2 had freezing issues, slow browser and the app store reminded me of my palm treo 650, non existant!
I perfer the screen size and ergonomics of the vibrant, on a hardware note,and touch sensitive buttons means no dirt getting into the phone.
Did I miss anything?
Oh night mode, swype, and hummingbird ftw!
Sent from the best phone from TMO... Vibrant

The only thing going for it would be the price, depending on how disgusted the person is with the HD2 you can get one mint in the low $200's

Thanks guys, I realize this is an overdone topic but I really appreicate the responses.
I think I'm set on the vibrant since it has way better features with the exception of flash and a bigger screen.
I really appreciate it guys, but just one more thing, there IS a way to unlock this phone to get free apps and such right? >_>

If your talking about getting paid apps for free then you're not going to get any help here. Its called warez and very frowned upon here. Besides most apps in the market are free or have a lite version. And the paid ones only cost a few dollars so its not even worth it to pirate them.

Getting apps for free really does this community a dis-service. app developers are less likely to produce the higher end games and support for a system that is flawed, at least for now. Soon we will see emailed auth. Codes for every paid app., but will hopefully see those apps that are truly worth paying for.
Vibe the XDApp

Haven't used the HD2 but I'm in love with my Vibrant and it seems like a has quite a bigger fan base going.
Sent from my awesome Vibrant using XDA App

I don't mind paying for applications, but paying for an app that let's you use nice themes with different icons (on the G1 anyways) always seemed downright stupid to me. You're right though, it doesn't justify stealing them in the first place because some devs do deserve the money.

I had HD2 and i wasnt happy with it. It crashed the second day and apps were simply limited and useless. The OS wasnt bad but it wasnt good either. After i installed android i was more pleased but not for long when it kept crashing (bcs obviously is not perfect yet) Now that i have Vibrant i fell in love from out of the box. Everything is neat (especially when froyo 2.2 comes out) and so far havent frozen once. Battery never seemed like a problem to me, and i DO text a lot. Usually keep brightness down since the screen is beautiful as it is and less light reflect. Every phone have its own problems and HD2 have too many.

I have both..I like the led flash and larger screen of the hd2 but the color and pop of the vibrant is much better...I like my Vibrant alot more.....

I now have only 2 days to return my Vibrant and go back to the HD2.<thinking> .........
Don't think it's going to happen!..Don't get me wrong, I really liked my
HD2 when I got it...got two, one for me and one for her.
She's happy with it coming from a Blackberry 8300 but, I've had
Windows mobile before and even with the slick Sense its like the
other guy said...Treo 650....5.0 touched up to 6.5!
I paid $500 each for those phones...Think I can get at least
half of what I paid? Man, I hope so.

Doubt it man, the hd2's lost value quicker than a...I actually don't have an analogy to go with that. Anyways they're pretty dirt cheap on craigslist but good luck selling them nonetheless. And in regards to this thread's topic, I suggest getting the vibrant and buying a cheap led keychain if flash is really important to you. Although I don't suggest trying to zoom in on your photos in android's default gallery app. Just trust me, it's not pretty.
And do try to search the forum next time you have a question. It's kind of getting annoying seeing these identical threads popping up every time I come to xda.

i also have both.
you can now run android on the hd2 on top of the native windows OS via dual-boot. so far most of the builds are close to being 100 pct stable. right now, i'm running froyo with htc sense on my hd2 and getting respectable quadrant scores up to 1500. these builds also come rooted and with overclocked kernels. just some thing for you to think about if you're thinking about getting an hd2. i primarily use my hd2 for work and my vibrant as my daily driver.
