WebOS simply bests android and ios in usability. Hopefully the crap that was wrong with the OS was hopefully solved. The way multitasking is handled is best among the mobile OS' that alone sets it above the others. Androids great and has a huge following. Same for IOS just too constricted. I dont need yall to agree either.
Anyway its my kind of OS.
I don't think I can agree with that. The new webos may be able to compete when its launched.. truthfully I've got my hopes a little raised but meh.
Let's just hope its not another disaster.

I love webos over android but If they don't have atleast a 4 inch screen and on screen keyboard I can't go back. I had a pre before my epic but the screen on the epic is a beast. Give me atleast a 4 inch screen and ill be there in heart beat.

Youre speaking for alot of people.I dont see what is keeping Hp from making something like Vibrant with WebOS on it.
I will keep my beloved Epic until Galaxy 2 comes out for my Amoled fix,but will by HP's WebOS tablet so I will have best of both until HP fires everybody and start giving people full touchscreen phones that they want.
Good for you. It looks like a pos. Why bother posting this sh..t here this an epic 4g forum for people that will keep their phones not people getting a different phone. A waste of a thread for useless crap and non informational to anyone that owns an epic.

Yeah... no thanks..
While I am not particularly interested in WebOs at this point I will say this...tablet is ok..Pre3 is nothing impressive..
I mean they are going with the same cpu as the mytouch 4g over-clocked to 1.4ghz and wait till summer to release it? thats not really going to stand out much against all the dual core phones...
If they released it now it would have been pretty good..by summer its a yawn...

lol.. well.. only more than 3% of the android apps have to be "good" in order to beat palms 100% of 5,000+.
but thats not the point. no one cares about # of apps (except poor W7 Phones).
seriously, no body switched phones for # of "apps". cough apple, cough, if 3% of Apple's App Store (+400,000) was useful, there would be over 12,000 useful iphone apps, and no one wants 12,000 apps on their phones.
but, i actually think the Pre will do good because Android is a POS getting their act together (we have to wait until 2.3 or 3.0+ for native Android video chat? are you sh*ting me?, wake up Mountain View, CA, you might be late, but you still missed the boat.). We have 4G (WiMax/LTE/etc), we want video chat on our phones, full web browsing, corporate email/calendars, and other standard features, and we want it to work, period.
The HP Pre 3 will hit a sweet spot of phone features vs. carrier support vs. developers. It probably will not be popular (overall), but, if you needed it, I'm sure it will work.
after that, its anyones game... blackberry, android, webos, ios, w7.. (+/- 3 years from now.)

McDonalds sells billions of burgers every year worldwide. Does that make them the best hamburgers in the world? Hardly.
Not to mention, how many of those apps are not actually apps? For example search for adw launcher, you get 100 themes or more... they're not functional apps.

In all honesty, any OS (mobile or otherwise) doesn't stand a chance vs Apple products. Gizmodo has always been very pro Apple and Steve Jobs, as are a lot of their readers. However Android, at the rate its going, should be a monster in a couple years and have the phones to compete with AT&T / Apple

How will this help us epic users on may 8th?
The answer is still: We will have to wait and see how the source code from the Nexus is useful, which depends on which hardware elements it shares with our Epics.

I don't see why you need to be insulting people who want to get a Nexus S 4G. It seems like a good phone for someone who wants to have the latest android releases immediately available to them. My wife is probably getting the Nexus S 4G as an upgrade from her HTC Hero. The main reason is that she loves CM7 on her Hero and I can't guarantee her CM7 (or future CM releases) on any other phone for sprint. You calling her stupid or in your words "nobody smart" is pretty ridiculous on multiple levels, but mostly because her reasons for getting the Nexus are sound.

That bug wasn't Nexus specific, it was common to android. One of the developers at Google made a blog post about it a while ago.
Yes, i see your point for CM7 on the Nexus...
Are you guys forgetting the Evo3D is right around the corner?
Along with its HUGE Dev community and CM7 pretty much already guaranteed for it....
Screw the GS2 b/c after overclocking the Evo3D i doubt ill need anymore speed...
Yes the 3D is a gimmick but the specs of the phone is so tempting.
GS2 will be out like 2-3 months after and i don't see them getting updated till next year by sammy because we all know how that goes....

The Nexus S 4G isn't really a step forward like the GSII or the EVO 3D will be. It would also be hard to leave the SAMOLED screen for Super LCD/TFT. Decisions...Decisions...
Been using a 3 years old Palm Pre and have been amazed at how it just works. The specs of the HP Pre 3 look to be pretty solid. I love how emails works correctly on the Pre. I hate the unreliability of email polling on Android in general.

I have casually tried both iPhone 4 and iPads and never received the impression that they were better spec-ed than the latest Android or even Windows equivalents. Now that Apple is at war with basically anyone who isn't them in tech world, I think they will consistently lose any raw horsepower race (Samsung may not want to sell to them anymore for one). Maybe they will retain an edge in usability for some people, but they are the design kings, as long as you don't despise iTunes like I do, and price gouging.
I'm jumping with my wife. I started on AT&T and iPhone then moved to sprint because cost of the plan. I've seen both sides and so far you can't beat the stability and battery if your willing to drink Steves koolaid!
Looks like I finally made up my mind about what my next phone is going to be. Iphone 5 is it. I was gonna get the Epic Touch but quickly remembered the fact that my phone is on 2.2.1 in an era where Android is at 2.3.6, and how frustrating the Gingerbread leaks have been so far. Not to forget the fact that Samsung doesn't even have the courtesy to share their source code or drivers so that we can create our own up to date roms. I'm never dealing with Samsung again. It's been a nightmare.

As opposed to how up to date Apple keeps their phones. With Apple you don't even have to worry about late updates. Ios frees you from that hassle. You have great, fast, stable, low latency audio software, and you can jailbreak your phone and customize it as much as Android in terms of appearance and functionality. Plus you have much more games and apps. Can't lose.

Just watched the stream and here are my thoughts:
Ice Cream Sandwich looks like a crap. Personally it looks like a jumbled honeycomb and WP7 aka "Magazine Interface". Google had the chance to pick up the ball Apple dropped and make the design a little more inviting. From the the blue Tron glow of the dialer to the metro like interface of the people app (?) it's like 5 different themes jumbled into one.
Hardware wise, it gets a meh. I'm just excited to get the larger screen plus Super Amoled HD
Despite that, the features are amazing. I was particularly blown away by the instant voice, nfc sharing, and new photo features. Android has come along way.
Shame they didn't touch on ICS for tablets as this was the OS that ties phone and tablet together.
In another note, reading the Engadget comments, I'm particularity amused that most "comments" (apple fanboys) believe that this was the first time Android featured folders. HA! Take that Apple!
So because it has squares an swipes to side its metro ui???

I love it. Can't wait for a port. But not sure if any devs are still willing to work for the vibrant.

Face it, the Vibrant is DOA. Either be happy as it sits, or move on. I'm outtie.
I liked ICS and the phone. I just wish the phone had a better GPU, it has practically the same GPU in our current vibrant (power vr sgx 540).
The Super Amoled HD screen should be impressive, then again with that higher resolution a better GPU would have been nice!
If the phone comes to T-mobile or At&t soon, I will get it.
Also ICS is deffinately coming to Nexus S.

I guess so, I just got carried away with the beauty of ICS.
I was waiting for the mobile chrome.

No luck there...I ditched my Vibrant for the amaze. Samsung build quality is **** in comparison. Hell, my N1 is built like a tank...plastic bezels are for cheap phones--why Sammy keeps using them blows my mind. I'd rather fight s-off/etc. with a well built device than deal with the gsII/ Prime's cheap build quality.
As for ICS, it's all a software gimmick. Skins really do make a difference. AOSP is for boring ****s that think bare-bones is attractive. If that were the case, I would've married a 12 y.o. girl.
\Give me tits and DAT ass.

I don't really care how Touchwiz, Sense, or any other manufacturer based UI looks like. But the thing is when they mess with the phone's software they tend to slow it down which makes AOSP better.
some more screens and details here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-4.0-highlights.html
i cant imagine ICS 4.0 MIUI

In the United States, phones are very cheap.
That's not the case in other countries, you can read about it here:
http://www.xda-developers.com/feature/outside-the-big-tech-scene/
Maybe in the US you can allow to upgrade your phone each year or even less, in other countries you usually stay with your phone for much longer.
So, I don't think the Vibrant will be forgotten so soon.
Even the G1 phone has some unofficial mods for Gingerbread and even Honeycomb.
So why would our phone be forgotten?

totes.
it seems that Google screwed the android community over with this phone the way Apple screws over its fanboys with their "S" iterations of phones rather than a next big update.

How did they screw over people? It's a flagship phone that will always get updates.

Because the Atrix is the greatest phone ever, and if you disagree, you're a troll.
/sarcasm.
GNexus has the 2nd most powerful Android SoC, and only due to LTE compatability issues, yet people are screaming their head off about how "underpowered" the GNexus is. The Atrix won't see ICS officially until July, if ever. 4.0.3 is the official base version of ICS, and Motorola stated that they were waiting for a release to "enable device manufacturers to ship commercial product with ICS." Direct quote from MotoMobility, ie they haven't started on any ICS based ports. Throw that on top of their 2-3 month development cycle and the 3-4 month carrier testing cycle all USA carriers require of their devices and you have a ~6 month delay for major OS updates.
Galaxy is by no means underpowered.... what are people expecting? Quad core 2ghz? Geez.
There are so many Android phones out there, that they have to roll out updates slowly. Thats why i feel alot of people dont like Android. They use a 25 dollar Android phone they got at Walmart and they hated it and now they think all Androids are slow and have crappy resolutions with un responsive touch screens. One of the many reasons I like Apple. 1 phone they have to develop for (well, 3 but generally the same). And will always get updates.
Android screwed themselves over by releasing 18 Android phones under each carrier and people expect updates for every phone when every phone is different.
Atrix 4g should get the update as far as I'm concerned, but I wont throw hissy fits if it doesn't.
People gotta step back and realize its just a phone.

Either way we'll see an ics port from our devs eventually. Just will take some time.

No offense, but why is this here?
This is a "GSM board", and IMO this will probably confuse more people than benefit... (unless they "really" want to join Verizon)

Totaly agree with you, I have so many friends that use crappy android phones and keep complaining that android sucks and are always like iPhone is the best bla bla i wish i had an iPhone. There is already so many android phones out there that iPhone doesn't even come close too! But what can you do, people want to play Call of duty Modern warefare 3 on their phones already! and have phones that are transparent and have gazzilion gb's of ram and bazzilion ghz thousand core proccesors and 100" screen that fold and are 10008000p resolution.

Why not? I did & it's the best thing I ever did. What a mistake the Atrix was, well for UK anywhere.
Nexus all the way, I'm afraid.
Its just a great deal on a new phone. It does bring up a link to buy it for $189 right? Or no
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
Me is sad that it is on Verizon...
Oh well, i'll stick to my atrix 4G.
Yeah me too. Soon as I have the cash though I'm picking it up and switching to Verizon. Lol. For 189 dollars brand new? You have any idea how much these suckers retail for?

i seen a couple sites put it up for about $750-$799
