I would love to try the Droid X if they had a GSM version for T-Mobile.
Sony "Zues 1"
Definitely Evo.I know it's on the lowerside when compared to the hardware and amoled screen of our vibrants,but still it's a gorgeous phone.

Probably the nexus s. Strictly for the sole reason that the nexus s will have the best support from google and will always be one of the top/first phones to get an update. Upcoming phone would either be the Atrix or the Lg optimus 2x.

I think I would rather have a phone that's been out a little longer due to rom support. Plus I am still waiting for the official froyo upgrade for my nexus one thats been sitting in my closet since mid last year.

toss up between ns and vibrant. i don't care about sd (i have 5+Gb free on my vibrant with the stock sd card so space doesn't matter to me), but 720p video recording is nice, and i don't really care about strict vanilla android, but i would prefer to have gb and know i will be getting 2.4 or 3.0, whichever is honeycomb for phones.
otherwise, i don't think another phone thats out compares as a complete package. sure they may linpack higher, or the iphone 4 has a better screen (debatable?), but the vibrant can oc well, has the samoled, has good sound, good dev support, etc. though hspa+ would be a benefit, it's not something i care about right now cause tmob hasn't even launched hspa+ in my area, yet.
upcoming phones i'd be interested in are the lg x2, atrix, and vibrant+. i won't get any of them, i'll wait for the next round, but those are probably the front runners coming soon. and the atrix won't be tmob, which is a downside cause tmob is cheap and even regular hspa in my area is widespread and very fast.

I am considering the LG Optimus 2X or the LG Black. Seems as if they are the only two phones other than Vibrant + and Nexus S that will possibly be coming to T Mobile that I have any interest in.

Ive decided to keep my fascinate even though have an available upgrade. Thanks to our excellent dev community here, ive never been happier w/ what's floating around in my pocket. I use it for everything, and its been easy to root and flash. I think im gonna wait for the second wave of the next gen phones.

Good Choice you've made there.
Just think there will be plenty of more phones soon that would be much better than Thunderbolt =D
Yeah it's not really worth an upgrade IMO until LTE is widespread and dual core phones are established.
The current generation of 2.2 ROMs are shockingly fast, stable, and battery thrifty.
I'll still give any vzw rep a hard time for the meagre support this phone had received, but secretly I am really pleased with the latest superclean. Thank goodness there was no exodus before the EB01 roms were so thoroughly tweaked.
It's thinner (ok slightly) than a thunderbolt and fully unlocked. I love that I can save it from the brink of brick with Odin. It'd be nice to have dual cameras or LTE but I have no justification for bailing before Q3 or Q4. I want a higher resolution screen and perhaps HDMI out.

I totally agree. The Tbolt isn't a bad phone, but I think having the "latest thing" has hyped it a bit more than its worth, especially with 4G not being everywhere. I checked it out at a Vzw store, and I love the size of my Fascinate compared to the tbolt. It fits a pocket a lot better, its just so small and thin. Screen is better too.
Overall though, I think waiting for more competition is a solid choice, but of course I don't blame anyone for wanting the newest phone out there, especially if they have 4G in their area.
Thinking about waiting for the next big thing makes me think about all the new phones coming out for T-Mobile. Too bad they'll be internet-less smartphones later on....

There is no reason for upgrading f right now if you have a current Gen top tier phone. It is going to be a while before developers start making apps for dual core phones or apps that require a lot of processing power.

I had an original Droid before the Fascinate. A lot of good qualities but the weight drove me nuts. Newer phones like the thunderbolt weigh quite a bit more and you feel it. With the ROMs we have now, it's hard to justify an upgrade.

I think I'll keep my fascinate for a while, but the new droid incredible S/2 is tempting.

Went and played with a tbolt for a while, I wasn't the least bit impressed. Defi not enough to pay 300 out the door. As frustrated as I am with Samsung, our Dev community is awesome. Im pretty sure I was running adrynalynes roms on my pos omnia.
Thank you devs foe making the decision for me not to jump ship. Btw, I'm in San Diego and have 4g almost everywhere I am.

Yeah I had an upgrade too...... I used it tho...... On another fascinate for my wifes line lol. She was deadset on an iphone until she had my droid1 now she prefers android! Im gonna go celebrate by devouring an apple now!

All of our devs are jumping ship to the thunderbolt. Though they say they wont abandon us, I'm sure development will slow because they will be playing with their fancy new phones. I would have upgraded if I could.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
dev for fascinate are doing all they can for our phone - if you have updated your phone with the current ROMs and kernels your phone should be running GREAT
we need Samsung to download the source code for the fascinate
when that happens we will see new updates for the fascinate - take a look at the i9000 threads in xda - our fascinate phone is not DEAD
Not concerned at all. Our devs are the **** by the way!

Well i usually jump on new phones had the iphone 3g,iphone 3gs,droid eris,moto droid,droid x and now my fascinate but nothen coming out cept the galaxy s2 looks temping imo. The fascinate is just as good if not better because of the speed size and screen.
I have my ne2 upgrade..but I am perfectly happy with my fascinate with all the great work from our devs its become an amazing phone.
Besides I don't consider the T-bolt an upgrade at all. More like sideways instead of up. Will wait till something like the sgs 2 or a dual core htc

T bolt really is a very minor upgrade. It just doesn't seem worth burning an upgrade for when I already have a fascinate. I also fail to understand the iphone like levels of hype and fanboy-ism surrounding it.

I was wondering. Should I switch from droid x to samsung fascinate? I've had the vibrant. I liked it. Just wondering if it's worth getting.

Having recently picked up a DX on craigslist just to see what all the hype is about, I can say that I think the Fascinate is the better phone. Also, I think dev wise we have the edge. Plus it's more comfortable to hold than the X. I haven't really played with gingerbread on the X though, but I'm hoping we'll have that fully working soon anyway.
Back on C-list for the X!
Fascinate is better. Camera is better, screen display is better, performance is better, battery life also better too

Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
After shopping for phones last year and comparing the two i picked the SF because it was thinner ( didnt have that buldge) and the screen was brighter and sharper.
I like the DX better, The fascinate might win spec wise, but the DX isn't Samsung so it will actually receive updates. I also the the DX has a better feel.

Check vzw.com for refurbished fascinates. Don't know if it required a new contract, etc. but it was 50 bucks or so.

I just traded my x for this fascinate. I like both, sf has a killer screen. Droid x is a beast I had ginger on it and it was way fast. I like trying new things. I personally think the battery life is better on the x. They are both great phones. As far as updates go. You can find many roms that will fit your needs thanks to our great devs!

I had to make a choice between these two phones. Tonight I sold my nexus s. it was a hard decision to make between atrix and nexus s. But dual core and one gb ram won. I love my atrix.

Hi everyone.
Im upgrading my tmobile contract next week. And since I cannot wait for personal reasons.. and there arent any better phones out for tmobile, my choices came down to Sensation or G2X... Now i read some reviews on both.
Htc sensation now has gorilla glass which is what i loved about my vibrant. Supposedly they fixed the power on and off issue with the firmware update on g2x.
I read that sensation even tho has a bigger screen has a better pixel density... but has poor standards "4g"... this is what pc mag wrote about sensation: "T-Mobile advertises this as a "4G" phone, but it isn't, even by T-Mobile's standards. This is an HSPA 14.4 phone. That's fast, to be sure, but not the HSPA+ 42 that's T-Mobile's fastest network, or even the HSPA+ 21 used by the T-Mobile Sidekick 4G and Galaxy S 4G."
and it says exactly the same for g2x 's "4g modem" ... the funny thing that here in New York City where I live I get 5m data speed on a regular with my vibrant! and these "4g" phones pretty much equal my vibrant data speeds..
So overall please help me make a decision.. But please be as knowledgeable as you can. Since whenever i chose a phone I tend to use it for at least a year or more.
Thank You all!!!!
Also correction: I just ran a speedtest app from the first very run i scored 6110kbps download speed on my 3g vibrant .... and 1698kbps upload speed.
Sensation is definitely more appealing and are from HTC. But the g2x is very slimmed down and does not have some crazy memory sucking ui on top. Plus it now runs gb stock. G2x is my vote
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Sensation much more stable speed around same put z rom on sensation an you good
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I have a Sensation, but I had a G2x for about a week before I sold it to get another Vibrant. The G2x was very problematic, it kept randomly rebooting and the screen bleed drove me insane. Sensation is way more stable and IMO looks better, sure G2x comes with AOSP GB but we'll have AOSP ROMs on S4G soon. If you decide Sensation isn't for you, then maybe look at the upcoming Samsung Hurcules.

Sensation! That's my opinion. Good luck with your choice.
I'd pick the sensation, the devs that have that phone are really great.
Neither I'd wait for another, but Sensation > g2x
People who have both would also agree there.
Would I be better off getting a vibrant 4g for now... since it has a good quality front facing cam and fast "4g" ?

I'd wait... But if not and you don't mind a little hassle i'd get the sensation and trade it for a g2x plus cash might be able to still pocket a little over $50... If you want the custom ui they have ported touchwiz 4 to the g2x i've had them both... Sensation has a better feel and the ui looks beautiful... But i think the g2x is just as good
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Guys 2 final questions...
Im probably leaning more towards sensation rather than g2x due to screen bleeds and weird 800x400 resolution on g2x...
heres my question.. how does sensations GPU compare to vibrants? is sensations graphic chip better than our vibrant or on par or vibrant is better?
and Q #2 : Pretty much sensation "4g" is not even slightly faster than vibrants 3g+? or w.e. its called... I remember when tmobile updated its network they said a few new phones at that time like our vibrant would benefit from it... and that probably explains why i get 5mpbs - 6 on my 3g vibrant... So are the data speeds the same or sensation is still slightly faster?
and if you want to add any additional information to why or why I shouldnt get that phone please do so, I want to be as knowledgeable as possible about a phone before I buy it
Thanx again
Always go HTC over "most" brands.
Ur choice in the end but I have a correction to make, g2x has gorilla glass. Both great phones. G2x has faster 4g speeds. Screen goes to sensation bur not really by much. Sensation has more devs working on it now so go with the sensation. If g2x gets more devs def get it. Not a lot of devs out there for this phone but I aprecciate all devs

Huh? Vibrant has a better gpu than G2X?
