x2. Learning curve from IOS to ANDROID is pretty steep lol. But in a good way; being open and being able to customize the phone the way YOU want it.

I come from first blackberry and the ios. I felt rather stupid using the iphone because k couldn't make anything mine really. I have had this bad boy for a week now and I love it!!! Its a great device and there is no way I miss the iphone 4. The only thing I miss is a game called "carcassonne" great game. I played my friends all the time over the web. Since I still have my iphone 4 I can still play over wifi. So the world isn't over just yet. Haha. Enjoy your super cool device and have fun.

The best thing I can advise you is "have fun"
Have a look around and see what apps other people are using that may help your transition to Android.
The only thing I would say, if you get into Android, you will be happy, there is sooooo much more you can do with this OS

Welcome to the Streak family all of you hope you enjoy it

Quick question. Is there a quick how to root for dummies lol. I have rooted my tilt 2 before and im somewhat familiar to rooting so i can root this sucker as soon as i get it delivered.

Current news topic...Would you switch to an iphone if it does come to Verizon? Maybe the question should be what would a new iphone need to have to get you to even consider it?

Hell no, don't want one period.
I would definitely consider it because I run the Mac platform and I like the look of the phone and how the OS works. All of the camera face-offs I have seen have iPhone winning, and as a sometimes photog, that sorta matters to me.
However, the whole Adobe Flash thing has me reconsidering what I'd have to give up to go iPhone. This full HTML web thing has me whipped. And, the customization and rooting capabilities can't be beat.
I'm pretty much in love with this phone and have found workarounds to do what I need to do on a Mac. I'm blown away daily with the Incredible.
It may be an easier decision to make when my contract is up in 2012. So we'll see. Then again, we have no idea what's in store next year. If its the iPhone 4, then I will have to pass. That's old news.
I have both a rooted incredible and a jail broken iphone 4. To be honest, once you break the shackles of the manufacturers, both are great devices. I would recommend an iphone over an incredible if you just want a simple elegant device. But if you like more control over your devices, like tinkering with it everyday, the droid platform is much more interesting. That's why I spend my day on the incredible and the iphone is my backup phone.

I had an iPhone and now a Droid I would never go to an Apple phone ever again after going to Android.

Love my phone, looking forward to when I upgrade in the future. I'm really interested in what future hardware and networks will offer. Faster cpu, faster networks, pico projectors and more.

Possibly moving to ATT, phone choice help!

I might be going to ATT pretty soon, if I do, I have a choice to make. They have a new phone coming out soon called the inspire, essentially the evo for ATT.
So I can wait until it comes out and give it a shot, or I can go with the Iphone since I've always wanted to try it out
no idea other than I'm sorry. Other than that i absolutely hate iphone and love android
Get the motorola Atrix 4g

I love android too, but I would really like to try the Iphone, never know, I may like it once I use xda's iphone site to do what I'd like
Then go for it
Its a lot simpler than android and its a lot less buggy.
But it is noticeably smaller...my sisters iPhone4 is soooooooo tiny in my hands lol also, the camera is nice on the iphone 4.
If you've ever had an ipod touch, then its that same experience sans the phone lol

Yea, I've got a touch and I love it, only problem, I'm stuck on this keyboard, I love the epic's keyboard, however the iphone does have great on screen software

I give you 14 days after you switch and you will come back to the darkside lol. From what I've heard from friends who all went to AT&T because of the iphone is that their service is absolutely terrible. Wished that they had never switched. But to each is own. Good luck with your future endeavors.
If you plan on going on at&t get the iphone. The iphone is great for hacking and you'll have less trouble breaking it when you do. I mean, once you jailbreak it, you're pretty much set on the idea of it getting bricked. I had a jailbroken ipod touch, and it was great. Never had a problem at all.
And reverting back is so simple; you just have to update it on itunes!

Abyways yeah just go with the iphone. It just works.
But if you have an ipod touch...I don't see the reasoning behind this lol
Also, yeah I always thought people were exagerating about atts network, but I'm always hearing my sister shout "UGH MY SIGNAL DIED!"
Also, another complaint she likes to yell when people call her is "MY MINUTES!!!!! Text me!!!!!"

I would not get the iPhone 4 at this point. The iPhone is due for an update this summer, so you might as well wait for the iPhone "5" then. IMO, Odin is as easy to restore as iTunes is, just a little more complicated at first glance. Also, if you are in to jailbreaking(rooting essentially)/unlocking your iPhone when you get it, you will have to be very knowledgable with terminology, like "tethered, baseband unlock (if you want that), SHSH, etc." iTunes makes it *very* easy to update your phones firmware, which can be a bad thing if you are into jailbreaking. An accidental update may keep you un-jailbroken/carrier-locked until a new exploit/tool is released.
I suggest educating yourself with the estimated release of the iPhone 5, and everything to do with jailbreaking/unlocking. Enjoy.

Oh yeah, one negative about the iphone is their network sucks, and there is no unlimited plan. If you decide to get an iphone, switch to verizon.
They have an unlimited plan, better network, wayy better phones (in my opinion) and its cheaper!

Don't get the wrong idea, I'm not switcing becase I want the iphone, my dad is considering bundling our services and adding att wirelss because we have evrything with them except cell service, the iphone is just one of the phones I am considering if we do switch

verizon hasnt actually said whether or not they will have the same data plans or if it will end up different.

maybe one of the new Tegra 2 phones from Motorola.
You've tried the iphone with your ipod touch...trust me.
There's no reason to own both lol.
If you sell the ipod, then I don't see why not, but asit stands that'd be a waste of a subsidized phone lol

how do you have an iphone on sprint?
Didn't someone just ask this....
Look at your life. Does the iphone do everything you need or want it to do? If so, keep it, if not then do some research on the features of other phones and see if they do what you need.
Don't let someone else make your decisions for you.

atrix is AT&T. I would say go for it. As an android user I can tell you that there is nothing the iPhone can do that the matrix won't do, and there are so many things that android does that iOS doesn't.

ahh you're on the XDA app. On the website, if you look at the left part of his post under his username, you'll see that he tagged himself on Sprint. Thus, my question, "how do you have an iphone on sprint?"
and im sure you meant atrix not matrix ;D stupid autocorrect.
I miss my iphone. Android 2.2 blows compared to ios 4.3 imo. The screen sucks and its slow.
I wouldn't settle for any locked down android phone if I had to choose again. For now my atrix is a dedicated hotspot for my ipad2 and laptop.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
where i am, the iphone and atrix seems like a quick trade. look on craigslist?
but be prepared to be tackled with tethering charges XD
i'd switch, then again i never had an iphone. my wife does and i hate the thing. i also had a palm pre (awesome phone but the development for apps sucks).
anyways, good luck on your decision.
u ask this is the atrix forum u going to get bias opinion

4ton4g

My current gf's upgrade is due and she's elgible for the phone surprisingly! I was considerng dropping my sexy, gorgeous, fantastic, amazing epic 4g on her and taking off with the 4ton4g! I played around with it a bit yesterday at the sprint store and I literally jizzed in my briefs!(false story) I'm strongly considering taking it though! Has any one played around with it as of late? First impressions?

I have had it for 3 days and love it. But you should look in the photon 4g section, and read the forums there. That's where you will find the most info on it. And yes its a bad Mopho!

Eh, personally the underwhelming Tegra 2 and locked bootloader ruined it for me. If it had the OMAP 4430 like the rest of MOTOs new "Droids" I'd give it a try.

I don't know if I would call the phone 'ugly' but it's certainly different. The screen...well, no one can really compete with Sammy's screen, let's get real here. Locked bootloader = fail IMO. I know, I know, there's an update that supposed to come out and unlock it, but when? Has there been an actual announcement date on it?
I was seriously considering the Photon because of impatience with the SGSII, but knowing the bootloader is in fact locked, and with hope of Nexus 3 coming in a few months, I'm going to skip on the Photon personally.
I hope it's a rockin phone for those that get it, I just won't be one of them.
locked bootloader = fail
I literally just got mine in the mail the ups guy just knocked on the door I'm about to open it up now......gotta love working for a third party sprint dealer. Korey has it and loves it. Unfortunately only way to root right now is having the media dock which is 100 bones but I'll let you guys know tomorrow how I actually feel about the phone.
Gonna miss my keyboard but I'm going to keep my epic for dev/testing purposes.....
I don't know display is really pixelated and lock bootloader sux
I honestly could not buy it. My epic right now runs smoother. Just based on the reveiws the galaxy s2 is much better than the other duel core phones.

And I kept my Evo 4g because i love android still. It's fun updating MIUI every week. I don't understand why people feel like they have to get married to one OS or one company. So silly. I love android and ios. Most people just overreact. Happy holidays to all and to all a good life

Yea, I completely understand. It sucks, but as soon as a jailbreak comes for the 4s i'm doing it. With that said, I love HTC to, because their phones come unlocked now. Some pretty cool ****ing people there
A friend of mine has the iPhone. I checked it out last night. First time I ever really looked at one. It's pretty smooth actually. It has some cool functions, and all.
I wouldn't get one, I'm married to Android, for real.

Yea for sure. I've been up to date on it. I'm not to worried about it too much though, because ios as is has been great for me. I just flashed the new MIUI 1.12.23 on my Evo and I can't put it down again haha. It's not connected to my cellular network anymore, instead wifi. So it's like a little pc
The reason people act like they are married to it well mainly iPhone users. Is because if u have a iPhone n you want any programs u pay money all the damn time for them n who wants to jump after u spent tons of money on apps for a year.
