[Q] From What Phone Did You Switch to a Vibrant?

I'm just curious to see what device everyone came from. I was using a G1 prior to the Vibrant.

Nexus one...

g1 running cm6

G1 running stock.

A G1 that I did everything to and then some. I loved playing around with different roms and tweaks and nearly having a heart attack when I thought I bricked it at different times.

Blackberry 8820.
Ha, I think I win (so far) for worst predecessor phone.

a black mytouch 3g, rooted and fried because of all the different roms. she still works but gets too hot to hold...

I switched from a G1 to the Vibrant. From the Vibrant I swithched to the Epic 4G (over unresolved GPS issues).

I went from G1 "great device" to vibrant "big mistake" then to G2 "awsome device"....the vibrant was the worse gps issues very laggy and sound quality was bad no one could here what I was saying when driving my semi..and what the heck was. Samsung thing when they put usb port at top of device it made it hard to make calls while plug in

G1 CM6 to Vibrant.
I don't have any of the problems you mentioned with the Vibrant. The USB on the top is a bit of a PITA, but not really a big deal, I have a cell phone so I do NOT have to have a wire hanging down when I'm on the phone, so I don't see how that is a problem at all. Who charges while they're talking?

Motorola Q > HTC PPC-6800 > BlackBerry 8310 > BlackBerry 9630 > HTC Touch Diamond 2 > SGS Vibrant
I waited until I was confident that Android was what I was hoping it would be, then took the dive. I'm hooked.

I was using winblows and the hd2.

HTC hero stock, Samsung moment rooted, HTC evo 4g stock, iPhone 3gs jailbroken, iPhone 4 jailbroken, and now vibrant rooted with bionix 1.8 with ffc installed.

The guy on the couch

Is this it?

Is the epic 4g going be the last smartphone with a full keyboard? I was kinda excited about the new epic 4g touch but without a keyboard I can't see myself getting it. A touch screen keyboard can never fully replace a real keyboard. I'm really hoping we a epic 4g 2 or a epic 3d.

I'm sure some manufacturer will make another keyboard phone. That's the beauty of Android, you can have different phone choices to satisfy a market niche.
Other than that, there's always Blackberry.

I wouldn't say it would be the last keyboard smartphone, Sprint has the Photon which has a keyboard,so if people wanted a newer keyboard smartphone they could get that.

It's made by Motorola and here are some specs for it.

My fault, there's no slide-out keyboard

Ok, unless i'm mistaken (and please prove me wrong) the Photon does NOT have a slide out keyboard like the Epic. The only keyboard the Photon has is the webtop dock, something very few people would take advantage of...

It don't have a slide out keyboard just seen a few reviews on youtube. I guess the epic is the last slide out keyboard phone. Well I guess no upgrade for me

Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

lol how can you assume it will be the last slide-out android phone?? they're still making them for other carriers, just not Sprint. But not much has come out yet for Sprint since the Epic, except for the Evo 3d. But I know they are coming out with the Droid 3 on Verizon, which has a slide-out. Don't give up hope. The true Epic upgrade will arrive someday. Let's hope with at least a 1.5Ghz processor and a LOT more internal memory and RAM.
EDIT: LG Optimus SLider is coming out this month for Sprint. SPH-M930 (slider) coming out in October.

Yea' I was thinking about the droid 3 then the photon commercial came on.

They cycle the releases of phones with kb and no kb to maximize sales. So don't worry in a few months there will be another samsung phone with a kb. I'm the same way I will not get a phone without a kb again

Rumor has it that an Epic 2 is coming out
Sent from my MIUI Powered device

I sure hope they continue the epic line with keyboards....the new one coming has no keyboard...but its called epic touch, so maybe they will go with a keyboard on the actual epic 2

Yup, I like my phones with spring slide out kb. I dont ever use it but I love mocking the isheeps with its slide out noise. Ohhh yes.

Same here... a smartphone without a keyboard is like a smartphone with only a 2g radio. Oh wait...apple already did that in 2007

Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Never. Lol
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

That is a bit of a personal decision. I have never been happier with my Evo as I am running MikG and it is better than any phone I have ever had (Touch Pro > Touch Pro 2 > Evo). I might be looking to upgrade in a while but I have not found the phone that is compelling enough to ditch the Evo yet. I prefer HTC over Samsung (personal again) and I don't want the 3D gimmick so I am going to have to wait a bit. It might be interesting to see an HTC Evo LTE in several months when Sprint announces they are moving in that direction.

First android phone?

I apolgize if there is another topic like this on this forum.
Anyways, I was just wondering what your first android phone was! And if it wasn't the epic, why did you switch to the epic? I got curious after flashing froyo on my old moment and an epic 4g theme *Nostalgia* lulz

the mighty moment was my first android phone too.. many MANY hours on SDX...

Went for Blackberry Storm to Epic. Blown away by the Epic. The only plus to the BB was the native Exchange email on the Blackberry works a lot better than the Android. Although in Froyo they did fix the embeded photos, I hate how it forwards everything as an attachment. Touchdown has fixed that issue for me, but it's a paid program.

Also the G1 for me. But left for a minute to the Storm and a Blackberry Curve. Then came back to Android with the Hero, and then the Epic. Going to the Epic Touch shortly.

Moment here too; I used a ROM from Android Mobile Support and dearmas. It ran great I'd still be using it, but my wife bought me the epic for xmas I will certainly be using it for a while.

The Epic is my first as well. Tried some Android out on the TP2 after it was ported just like Austin.

So long Evo 4G. :(

I'm on a family plan and they are switching to at&t so I gotta follow. I was wondering what the beat phone from them is right now. I love my evo. It has been nothing but good to me. I want a phone similar. I was think the HTC one x but it doesn't have a removable battery.
So what are your thoughts? What's the best phone from AT&T right now for the Evo 4G loving flashaholic?

One X bro I used one today n I fell inlove with it, though Classic EQ preset sounds better than the famous Beats Audio preset on stock music player, let down.... anyways u also got the Vivid or Inspire if ur an HTC lover, though with the One X I personally wouldnt consider any of them and the X's battery is great according to some ppl, though no SD card slot is another let down....

The non removable battery isn't a deal breaker believe it or not! Just look at most tablets........they got a set combo that you can press if you get stuck in a bootloop or whatever
I would go with the one x if I was on At&t BUT that's just me.............shop around that's my advice to you dude! At the end of the day, we're not the ones that are going to be stuck with that phone....is YOU! I could tell you get this, get that BUT you got to like it........everything else is a matter of opinion!
GOOD LUCK!!

Awesome thanks for the fast responses. And that was my big worry with the removable battery that I wouldn't have any option if I got in a boot loop or a rom acts funny and I need to hard reset. If there is a hard reset feature then I think I'm sold. But I'm still not sure lol.

Galaxy Note
I got an evo when they first came out and have flashed everything to it. My HTC EVO 4G(I love saying it) has been an incredible phone but I recently upgraded to a Galaxy Note and I Love it. Its huge just like the evo used to be huge but I am used to it now and all phones feel tiny. The pen believe it or not is actually pretty useful, its fun to draw with but I also take a lot of notes and it has helped me out immensely with my business.
Yes its a tad slower than the htc one x and I do miss sense, but I need me an ext sd and removable battery. If i didn't like options i'd get an iphone. whats up with that HTC? that's seriously the reason I went with the Note.
but I recently bricked/semi bricked/softbricked my Note upgrading to ICS and that sucked but I fixed it and finally got the new official ICS and cannot be happier. I installed nova launcher over crapwiz and now im in heaven.

My debate is pretty much between the One X, The Note, and an iPhone...I know. Its sad I'm thinking ios over android. I'd regret it alot later but its an option.
But with the Note, I heard that the hardware Samsung uses on there android devices is pretty crappy like its built out of cheap parts.

I heard that too, but I dont think mine feels cheap at all the build quality is good and the parts on the inside dont feel too quick. Sometimes i cant believe how much faster it is than my EVO. I am able to run anything like grand theft auto really smooth. I do have the international version which is faster that the ATT version so that kinda suck for the OP.
and the new evo doesnt have that feel of being or having something that no other phone has. When the OG Evo came out it was one of a kind nothing could compare to it. The Note is the only phone that really stands out to me, More than the Galaxy s3 since its a bit similar to the htc one x.
Thats just me though, I like big phones. and i cant stress this enough that you do get used to the size unless you have small hands but my 8 years old niece can use it just fine.

i left to AT&T for the galaxy note - if you have LTE in your area it is SICK!
