what will be your next phone?

since were leaving sprint next month and going to t-mobile im hoping my wife will allow me to get her some type of budget android phone. although im sure she will want a blackberry again.
myself im looking into getting the g2 or the nexus s.
what will be your next phone after the evo?

As of right now I'm not sure impressed with sprints ces showing. I'm looking in to a dual core phone but I'm in no hurry the evo has plenty of life left in it. But if i was to leave sprint I would get a nexus S
from my phone duh

I really wouldn't take any other phone over the Evo for right now, but if i had to choose it would also be the Nexus S.

I am good with the EVO but I would go with the Nexus S.

I'm sticking with the EVO for a while... I haven't been this satisfied or entertained with a phone for this long, EVER. As technology improves (ie. dual core processing), I will eventually get something new. I'm just not stalking any new phones as of yet. I give myself another 6-12mos, before I really want to try something else... Who knows, my EVO might actually last the length of 2yr my contract.

More than likely one of the Verizon LTE phones. I just read an article where Verizon said they're going to continue offering unlimited data so now I just need to see how they're going to price their LTE plans. Sprint has been good to me but I want to be able to use 4G inside my house if im paying for it.

G2..

You must mean on Sprint because there are several phones set to drop that meet all of those requirements already.

+1. My next phone must have at least the same size screen and more features, including gpu.
I would be willing to switch carriers, but not manufacturers. My single biggest complaint with the entire industry is the horrible battery life, and non-htc phones are too much trouble to mod...which means less of a community to develop fixes.

Ramiss,
I disagree I think Motorola has such a big user base and development community that it would be a great alternative to HTC. I was honestly considering the droid bionic since I wasnt to impressed with both sprint and tmobiles ces showing I thought that was one of the better phones available because of the network it was on and because of the power it had...

i think the nexus s will be my next upgrade when we switch. the only thing i do not like is no sd card.
jesus, i checked checked out prices at verizon and it's down right outrageous.
id actually be much better off with tmobile, id even save some $$ compared to what i pay sprint.

Got my evo on launch day, so I can upgrade in June. As of right now, I don't see any phone worth upgrading to. I want a phone with at least the same specs as the evo, except for screen size. If there is a phone with great stats, and a smaller screen, I would go to that.
As many of you, the Evo is the best phone I have owned. The only thing that would make it better for me, would be a higher res screen, and dual core. So unless I see a phone with those specs, I'll keep the evo.

HTC thunderbolt. For sure.

I really don't see the need of dual cores in a cell phone, unless you guys plan on playing Need for Speed while the phone is also converting a Blu-ray ISO into AVI format in the background.
PS. My name is HondaCop and I approve this message.

Droid Bionic, but I want something on Sprint.

I've had (literally) everything at this point, and sprint would have to do something colossally stupid to make me give up my evo.
That said, if I went to tmo, right now id go for the nexus ONE. Its a brilliant device, I've not been impressed with the galaxy line from sammy yet.

Will be hard to get rid of my evo. Really hoping they make an Evo 2. I just ordered an Evo Shift for my daughter, of' course I'll play with it a bit before giving it to her.

U might think about the evo shift. I wouldn't want it but if u want a smaller screen then that would be a plus. Even though the processor is 200 mhz slower it manages it better than the evo. The quadrant tests I have seen ran on it are very high. I love my evo too much to leave it yet. I myself am not impressed with the evo shift but the screen is smaller, it is kind of the smaller version of the evo.

I have the original Evo and the new Evo Shift and that little puppy can fly...lol. I'll be elgible for an upgrade this April because I bought one of those Google I/O released Evos off ebay, sold it, then bought another Evo for full retail and i also bought my Evo Shift for full price. Therefore, my contract never changed and I still get to upgrade in April. Therefore, I'm going to wait to see if Sprint has something up their sleeve like an Evo 2 or something. I love Sprint's pricing and customer service and really don't want to leave. But if I have to, I'll probably go with Verizon and get the Motorola Bionic or HTC Thunderbolt.
I bought a Nexus S and that phone was a joke imo. the only good thing is that you're the first to get updates. Other than that the phone is all that. It had too many issues so I sold mine.

Vibrant 4g out 2/23

Who all is going to be making the switch? Kind of excited!

...
You will not be seeing me buy another Samsung phone ever again after purchasing the original Vibrant... Sound kind of redundant to say at this point but then again what else was a thread like this going to generate in these forums?..

I wont buy it. Only way I would touch another Samsung phone is if its bone stock android OR the Nexus S. Dont get me wrong, the phone itself is fantastic but the support behind it is the worst of any product I have ever owned. I would however buy a Nexus S just because its backed up by google and I know support will be great.

No i'm installing a ffc and tyring to unthrottle my data lol

I figured the responses would be close to this. I work at T-Mobile and am thinking about using one of my discounts to hold me over until the LG Optimus 2x drops. I just like that fact that the internet will be HSPA+ and with the help of Team Whiskey no lag lol. I don't know, I have the discounts available to me so I might as well use them right?

I won't buy it but not because I'm still seething mad at Samsung... I simply find it hard to justify the cost of a new phone without any sort of carrier discount for the few additional features it brings to the table. Besides, I trust in the Vibrant Dev team to successfully port what is released to the 4g to our version as necessary.

Hell no.

Nah. 4G is irrelevant, as 5mb down is plenty for me, not to mention all the speculation about the original vibrant being capable of 14.5mb down.
FFC is installable on Vibrant for $30, and hopefully when the 4G drops we can port a kernel supporting the FFC with no banding concerns. Like another guy said here, no point in buying the exact same phone with a couple extra mostly useless perks. If you have the tmo discount, try out a MT4G or something and if you don't like that sell it. People who don't mod their phones will eat that up on CL and you'll make back you money and probably profit. Or just hold out for dual core.

For me, it's not enough of a hardware change to justify the money (I never do contracts). I rarely see more than about 4 megs (usually no more than 2.5) so "4G" is kinda pointless until T-Mo ramps themselves up in my area. I plan on waiting to see what all of the Dual Core's have to offer. I'm perfectly happy with the Vibrant. It's relatively easy to modify, forgiving to user errors and with the Nexus S floating around out there with such similar hardware specs to the Vibrant, I'm confident that we'll see a good Nexus S port and development support for a good while to come. Plus my Vibrant is already about 6 months old and I like to stretch my devices out about a year and skip every other "generation".

unless the device is either given to me, or donated for a dev phone, I dont plan on getting it.
Heck, I have a Vib 4G already minus the 4G. LOL

+1---Well Said.
All the cry babies should buy an I-POOP, then they can have error free no modifications possible, expensive apps fun phone. Me, I like the Vibrant and I get 5-6 DL all the time and 3-3.5 up...... So as long as XDA is here All of us are ok

I will say that when I go to L.A./Dana Point area, I see 5.5-6.5 Mbps. There rest of the time here in Alabama, I normally see about 2 Mbps (downtown Birmingham will give me 5 Mbps) although in the house I'm lucky to get a full Meg.
I have zero complaints. T-mobile is consistently faster than AT&T and I get faster speeds on T-Mo than on my Verizon MiFi (If both devices are on a 3G network of course). I just have a hard time thinking that a phone capable of 21 Mbps is worth it when I have one capable of 14.4 Mbps. At this point, it's a novelty more than a real world application. Now, when T-Mobile flips the switch, maybe that will change. I remember when 1.5 Mbps coming into your house was blazing fast.
All I need to already have a Vibrant 4G (minus the 4G) is a FFC...and I probably should do that mod just to see what it's all about. Especially after all of the awesome steam it's picked up!

no dual core chip?
Nope, no thanks.

Dual core will be irrelevant to the android software until the end of the year. Why? The Nexus S is single core and most apps and the OS will be optimized for the hummingbird.

I'd probably get it if GPS locks instantly, is accurate and doesn't jump(in other words, NORMAL GPS). Can't live without SUPERAMOLED. Sucks it doesn't have LED flash or internal SD though...

I'm still kinda pissed at samsung for doing this... but thats the way it goes. I will not be getting it because of the space. I have 2 gigs left on my phone and 10 on my 32 gig sd card. The 4G will not give me enough space.

No more Samsung mobile devices for me, switching back to HTC when the next great one comes out.

Keeping the Vibrant, but...

T-Mobile is doing the free phone special this weekend when you sign a contract. I'm not on a contract at the moment but am going to take advantage of this special, the only thing is, I'm not sure which phone to snag. I love my Vibrant so it'd have to be incredible to replace what I have, otherwise I'll just sell it. Any suggestions on which phone to get?

I recently get to play with my friends g2 and it is a really nice phone especially if keyboard is a big thing for you. It by no means slower than a vibrant. The screen had a slightly inferior blackness level due to it being lcd but it will just be like your computer monitor, not that big of a deal. Vibrant does have the superior media experience: more codecs and voodoo sound support.

get the 4G if is is an option........... otherwise I would wait for the dual cores to come out before committing to a contract

Just pointing out HTC g2 issue.
Hinge. A lot of people returned their g2 because of this z hinge. It's loose and dangles around.
People says they cant text while they're laying on their bed... which is bs since ur gonna support the top part (the one with the screen) with ur thumb and index finger.
Anyways it wobbles even with keyboard closed. Well at least that's how mine was.
A lot of HTC phones comes with qc issues. Such as loose battery cover, dead pixel, dust under the screen etc. (I replaced my mytouch 4g 5 times due to qc issues).
G2 have plastic screen Unlike vibrant (gorilla glass). It feels somekind cheap when u touch the screen. (only the screen feel cheap, the rest feels awesome
Ur gonna need to buy a SD card since only about 1.3gb? Internal memory is available.

My touch 4g feels great it hand with front facing camera and all. But its a pain in the ass to get a good one. Like j said I replaced it 5 times. Half of them comes with washed out screen.
Also comes etc loose battery cover light leak, squeaky button, off centered front facing camera. I would just get mytouch 4g and sell it on ebay and keep the vibrant.

Oops double post

You gonna sell the phone? Look on ebay for what's selling for more. the etf only applies to the line, not the phone. If you are gonna keep it to play with the phone, look at the forums for what has more out for it now.

I actually did just that. On eBay, the Mytouch 4g sells for more than the Vibrant or the G2. So that's one option. However, the G2 seems like the better candidate for experimentation and CM is already out for it. Or, the third option would be to get another Vibrant in case I ever damage the one I have. Decisions, decisions.

I think you should wait for dual core phones, since you can't really make up your mind. I know that it seems like a good deal right now to save the $150-$200. But by signing a contract you are shelling out alot more for the data plan, on top of that neither of the three phones are that much better than your current Vibrant.
Besides, the timing is just suspicious, T-Mobile is probably using this chance to clear their inventory to make space for the new phones being release this year.

Just to let you know mytouch 4g have cm 7 nightlies.
I heard u can remove the data plan (if u want) by putting ur sim card into crappy phone like razor and leave it for few days and call t-mobile and tell them u lost ur phone or u broke ur phone.

Are grandfathered into a an older unthrottled data plan? If so, no free phone is worth getting throttled over.

As far as the timing goes, this was not my idea to begin with. This is all my wife's doing, I'm just along for the ride, but hey a free phone is a free phone.
I may just get a G2, use it for a bit as well as my Vibrant, and when the new dual cores come out, sell both and buy it outright.
Thanks to all of you guys, you were all a very big help, as always.

are you getting T-Mobiles SGS II? (Hercules)

Long time reader, occasional poster.
Well, it seems as if it is time to move on from my amazing Vibrant. I have had this for about a year now and it has been my best and favorite phone to date. The devs have been amazing, and everyone on these forums have been fantastic as well.
This isn't a good by, just curious to see if any of you are moving on, and what your thoughts are on it? I would love to see some Team Whiskey on the Hercules, some CM7 love (thats a given), and even some Einherjar Dev's on the new phone.
So what do you say? Will i be seeing more of you in the near future?

Not to the SGS2.
I'm waiting for the Google/Samsung conference event next week and that will decide that. If Verizon is gonna have the exclusivity on the Prime for more than 6 months, I will pick up an HTC Amaze 4G. If not, I will wait 1-3 months and get the one phone to rule them all- Nexus Prime.
T-mobile's SGS2 is a tad outdated in its camera department, screen resolution, and audio output. It's a nice phone but the Amaze 4G is just a hair better imo due to it's back-lit illuminated camera. Nexus prime...well that's nexus prime. Obliterates every phone is just about every department.
I'm quite happy with my Vibrant for now though. CM7 themed beautifully and incredible usability coupled with 1.5Ghz CPU, 1800mah Samsung genuine battery, 32GB microSD +16 internal for 48GB total, audiophile-grade audio out, and impressive screen and form factor? Sorry but this phone is just now at its full potential and I see no reason to upgrade. 3400 Quadrants and no lag anywhere.

iPhone 4S or Nexus Prime, depending on Coverage and Price. I'm leaning towards the iPhone because the Battery Life is great, iCloud is good, and they have a better ecosystem than Google.
However, the rumored hardware in the Nexus Prime is enticing. If it's on T-Mobile, though... I'm gonna have to pass. Dunno why Google keeps launching Nexus phones on T-Mobile. They have the worst coverage of hte 4 carriers, by far.
I'm moving in a few weeks, so I'll have to wait and see how it all pans out...

NOPE, Hercules is going to be Vibrant part 2. Another phone with zero updates/support, especially since it is different from all the other SGS2 phones.
Nice phone, but nope. I rather get Amaze over Hercules.
Waiting for prime though.

I will be getting the hercules because it is Samsung!

Coverage depends where you at. Also T-Mobile is developer friendly. Cyanogen and his team have gotten free phones and tablets to develop on for t-mobile. I don't know what your talking about but Google cloud system is far superior than icloud. Battery life will always be great on a device that can only take low speed 3g. Hspa+,LTE,Wiimax all use higher bandwidth than. Which cause more battery drain. To be specific T-Mobile coverage on the east side is better than at&t and Sprint coverage. On the west aide at&t is has better coverage. Also Verizon has the best coverage all around but be ready to pay an arm and a leg.

Sprint has bad service and doesn't really penetrate walls Hspa+ speeds get the same as wimax speeds. Not to mention T-Mobile has lower ping speeds as well. Let's not mention that if your phone breaks you need to buy a new phone instead of just switching sim cards. This phone is also fully aws compatible. As for throttling I never reached the cap to be throttle and all my apps sync every 5 minutes. Unless your tether all day and streaming YouTube or some video app you never reach it.

The future looks very bright for Samsung. They have Cyanogen on board now which means more source code releases from Sammy and early CM8 release for Galaxy S2. Sammy has better hardware, better screen than HTC and thinner form factor. Im getting the S2 on Oct 12th.
I love the Nexus Prime too but apparently its a Verizon only release (which is why they dont have a Galaxy S2 model) and I dont want to wait 6 months for a GSM version to be released. Also there is word that Ice Cream Sandwich release is being pushed back.

I think I'm gonna wait for the prime. The Hercules seems great with a beefed up cpu but i can see driver problems in the future.
I wanted to get the Samsung Note but that seems that it will only come to at&t.
I don't see myself leave Tmobile anytime soon due to I use over 5g of data a month, I live in the east cost so all networks are about the same, also free tehrering and sum card switching.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

I'm going to be moving on to the next Nexus device, especially if it ends up on Verizon. I have been loyal to T-Mo for a loooong time, but as much as I travel, I need a network that is faster in more places (I spend a lot of time wishing I even had EDGE). I already have a VZW MiFi, and I depend on it. Running CM7 with no WiFi Calling can often leave me in the dust on cell reception.
I've always been a fan of Samsung hardware, but I'm not a fan of Touchwiz and the speed of updates. Not just from Samsung, but any manufacturer that is applying their own framework to the mix. I really, really enjoy tinkering with things, and if there's one thing I've learned from my Vibrant (which is my first Android phone) it's that not having a pure Google phone really hinders the process.
That said, if Verizon gets an ACTUAL Nexus device (pure Google) with LTE, then I'll move on over. If not, I'll cross my fingers and hope T-Mobile gets it like they always do and I'll just stay put. Swapping to AT&T or Sprint isn't in the equation, even if they somehow were the only one's with the "Prime". I won't swap if LTE isn't in the equation since here, locally, T-Mobile beats the pants off of EVDO in the speed department.
I honestly believe that people put to much hype into phone specs. No one can tell the difference between processors or much of anything else under the hood. It's fun to talk about and I enjoy geeking out about it all, but hardware changes every 6 months anyway. If you're buying a device based purely on hardware specs, you'll always be disappointed when the next thing comes out 3 months later.

i'll probably kill any one at the store to get one on the release date
okay... kill is a bit overboard, but a would not mind pushing people aside, or jump on them to get it muahahahahaha

same here, i wanted also the Prime and Note
unfortunately Prime will not be available on GSM anytime soon it seems
and the Note is only on the normal GSM frequency that is not AWS compatible
so that's why the SGS2 Hercules is the best toy until Nexus 3 Prime becomes available on AWS bands

No, I wont get any US version GSII

Id love to get one to work on...but im broke so probably not =/

I'm getting it, I'm pretty tired of my vibrant, this is the longest I've had my phone lol, so definitely wanting something new.

Anyone going to Purchase the HTC One S?

I'm thinking of getting the HTC One S when tmobile starts to sell it this month. It looks like a great phone and has all the features I want. Was wondering if anyone else is thinking of getting it.

Its nothing compared to the one s though. Better of waiting for the s3 since you'll be using it for two years.

There's nothing wrong with my vib oozing iced butter and bacon right now.I recommend waiting 4 more months and get the G3 or if tmo could get the htc one X that would be a consideration

i'll probably get one. benchmarks show the S4 dualcore outdoes the T3 quadcore chip. no need to wait around for a One X. By that time, the SGS3 should be out.

I'm actually still waiting for a device for tmobile with a true hd display.. similar to that of the current galaxy nexus. From what I understand the oneX has one but I'm not aware of any plans for it coming over to tmobile. Also personally, I'm not a fan of how the camera protrudes out the back of many htc phones.
Even though I'm quite satisfied with my vibrant running ics passion (occasional gps issues aside).. I've started to notice the lack of power while browsing and the occasional lags more and more. I used my friends galaxyS2 (att) the other day and was blown away at the speed and was left wanting more out of my phone.
I get a sense that tmobile is really dragging their heels in getting better devices. If I didn't have a serious dislike of being on mobile contracts I probably would have jumped ship already. I can live without true 4g.. fake 4g (hspa+) seems plenty fast to me... even my 3g vibrant is probably good enough for what I use the phone for.
I don't know.. just babbling...
and hoping tmobile steps up their game and offers some nicer devices.

All I want is a phone with a 4.7 HD screen, removable batt and micro sd, seems to be hard to find...nothing around the corner, still on the vibrant, nothing in sight so far...Sprint's EVO One (ONE X sprint style) looks great, but it's sprint and their data speeds are crap and no one has them so you use up anytime minutes quick...
There's a few phones I keep seeing, like LG and couple of others, but for some reason the US can't get **** for phones, like the rest of the world does, or if they do it's on att or verizon, and no, I don't want to pay 150/month for my cell phone..

I want a phone with about a 4.3" screen, flash on the camera, removable battery, and Micro SD. Preferably with that new S4 snapdragon... that things appears to be a beast. But I'm looking for a phone that devs are going to get behind. After having been in the Vibrant community, it'd be really hard to live with a phone that didn't have good dev support. I would honestly be really happy with my wife's HTC Amaze 4g if the dev support was more like the Vibrant. That phone is a beast and I can only imagine how smooth it would run with a good rom like CM9 on it. (but it's my wife's so it's staying stock LOL)

The non-removable battery and no Micro SD is a deal breaker for me. I'm also surprised to see only 16Gb of internal storage in any new phone, especially this one.
I need a phone that blows my socks off the same way my Vibrant did after it was rooted and customized. If there are any regrets I'll be seriously disappointed.

I just want a phone whose GPS works reliably and a good DAC. I mainly use my phone for those two things. I was hoping HTC would've nailed a good DAC (as I'm aware that HTC has the best GPS rigs), but it just wasn't meant to be.

I am going to wait for a better phone. The One S just doesn't do it for me. Sure its probably better than the vibrant but if I'm going to extend my contract, which has been up for about 8 months, I'm going to need a phone that I will be happy with for the next two years. When the next generation of phones which are almost here are offering far superior specs and capabilities, it makes no sense to upgrade to a mildly better phone. T-Mobile should see that and not insult us with "little brother" phones. If I'm paying for it, plus two years on contract, I want my moneys worth. I'm a big boy and I like big boy toys.

I would have loved to get the One S, but would never consider buying a phone with only 16GB and no microSD. I can't tell you how much I want to avoid buying anything from Samsung ever again due to anger over the Vibrant GPS problems and lack of update and other support.
