Wrong section man...
Now the Hummingbirds can be as optimized as the Snapdragons are.
Yeah. saw the best buy ad today.. looks sweet. I'm sure people will bash it though because Sammy's name on it. Shame.

Yep, looks like the Vibrant's sister. She's hot!
Hopefully it'll be easy enough to port Gingerbread to the Vibrant.

Well, technically you are right, but as we do not have a section for this device just yet, and it does indeed look like the Vibrant... I guess we can let it be. Besides, it is in General...

It's already better than the Nexus One (ugly). This thing is svelte. I'm glad it still has the antenna bump because it's the reason why our reception is good. The Fascinate doesn't have this bump and it has some reception issues with losing service because of the smaller antenna.
- The speakerphone will rock
- SAMOLED
- Flash for those that need one
- LED Notification light for those that need one
- GPS is probably going to work out of the box
- Stock Android
- Good Reception, better than the Nexus One that's for certain
- PERFECT size
- Updates handled by Google
I don't think the Nexus S has super amoled, does it?
That phone is the reason that the Vibrant will probably never see Android 2.3 (or won't for another 6 months or so).
Unless the Nexus S is sporting a 1280x760 screen then its not worth considering if you already have a Vibrant

It's definitely worth it because of the update. I'm getting rid of the Vibrant once I get my hands on the S. Samsung needs to step up and support the damn updates.

The Nexus One has a lot of roms so maybe the Nexus S will have a ton too.
But a lot of devs are HTC fanboys too so idk
This is what I've been waiting for! I'm gonna need to upgrade my signature - a new Nexus is what I need in my life!

Well the Nexus One is supposed to be unlocked, so therefore, you could also always use AT&T if they have got good service in your area.
The hardware specs are nice, but the handset is a brick. If they could have only put some effort into an elegant design.

I seen a rumor that sprint premium account holders got a message saying look out for an announcement of a groundbreaking new device tomorrow. Supersonic anyone?
http://www.fonearena.com/blog/2010/03/23/htc-supersonic-to-be-announced-on-march-24.html
I love it. We are such phone geeks that we get excited about an announcement of another annoucement. I read VZW is announcing the Nexus tomorrow and been inpatiently wating. We are proud nerds.
I don't think it will be the Nexus. It will be the HTC incredible or maybe both?

I remember the days when I actually started the countdown to get my EVO on launch date... damn that was the best phone back then (tech wise).
The zombie apocalypse has began. Grab ur shotgun and protect ur brains
Sent from my Synergized Evo with aggressive Freedom using the XDA app
I bought it the day after launch then got the Evo 3d on launch day. Now I just bought a used one off ebay for my mom to replace her Hero(my old phone before the 4g) It's been a blast playing around with one again. My 3D is better in almost every respect theres 2 things that bother me though. First is the new aspect ratio on the screen, the second is the great roms. We don't even have a rc for cm7 yet and our ics is nowhere near the 4g.
You'll be getting the real deal with ICS, so who cares how far along progress on something thats gonna get replaced is?
I wouldnt build ICS for the 3VO if its just gonna be replaced by an OTA. Wait for it to drop and customize from there.
The EVO 4g on the other hand, has a lot of development going on simply because its the only way we are going to get it.
sure is amazing the development that goes on for this phone. most other phones get left in the dust way sooner.

Our beloved Hero isn't on the list, but the MyTouch3G Slide is, perhaps that will mean an easy port eh?
Hmm. The Hero isn't in any of the categories... I guess the Evo buried the other Sprint Androids.

Yeah the Hero is more than capable to run it. Kind of disappointing but not suprising, Want Froyo, buy a new phone. I wish Google had the power to say, want to sell an Android phone? Then push our updates to all android based phones you sell.

Hey all,
Just thought I would inform you that my Epic 4g is officially ordered, and I will receive it in approximately one week. Not only do I want to thank everyone for their amazing support of me for my time on the hero forum, but I'd like to let you know what I will maintain while I'm gone in the Epic section. I WILL still maintain my Q&A section, and will look for questions in my Themes. I will not be releasing new versions of themes, however. If you all would like the themes ported for the latest versions of CM, feel free to do that I just want to let everyone here know that they've helped me develop as a themer and developer, and I will miss this section. And please, feel free to join me as an Epic user
Thank you all again,
-theimpaler747

Somehow I can't believe that is the reason. I mean, people are already installing ICS on the N1 from AOSP, without even needing blackrose custom partitions like Sense ports need.
I think people don't want to admit that Google is doing the same thing that Apple does with older hardware. They make it "obsolete" so you're tempted to upgrade. I mean, maybe the G1 is a bit of an extreme case, but not so for the N1.
