What phone to get next? (buying tomorrow) - Vibrant General

Hey.
I have samsung vibrant right now which is a great phone, so I am going to keep this phone but also get another phone to use on daily basis.
What are some of the good phones that are better than the vibrant and has good support?
Please share your opinions.
Thanks.

if you sticking w tmobile, you will have to wait

best phone bar none
Click to be amazed

not tmobile, i mean any phone which are good nowadays and better than vibrant

You could give HD7 a try, solid phone but lacks that support Android has ATM but you wouldn't mind that since you're keeping your Vibrant.

There are a lot of great new phones coming out. I'm considering going to Verizon for one of the new Droids coming out in the next couple months.

the LG G2x will be in stores on the 20th, online the 15th. Wait til then at least.

Get the red one!

Atrix or g2x. I'd wait for the g2x in five more days personally. Unless you want to support motorola's choice to lock boot loaders. Those are the only two phones that are faster than ours.

Wait for the Pyramid.

Atrix or g2x seconded..

G2x looks like a good choice, hope they get a strong dev community.

Evo 3d or sgs 2!!!

I'd say the G2x but then the SGS II looks pretty good. Yet its still going to be a while before the SGS II is released, so yeah the G2x. I sure do like the G2x i'll wait maybe a month after the release to see who the developers are on it and if it gets rooted.

I think it was androidcentral where i saw that thay have it rooted already. Also with CWM recovery. So no need to worry bout' that.
Edit: its the optimus 2x but same phone.

Yeah wait for the LG 2X (G2X) because Paul from MoDaCo has gotten it rooted, CWM Recovery and there are custom roms. Plus djmcnz from the Nexus One forums has one and he makes great ROMs IMHO. The atrix doesn't and won't have advanced dev support thanks to Motorola.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

thanks for advice will probably wait for g2x

Ive heard bad reviews on the atrix, I would wait for the g2x I have played with it alot, its really nice and I plan on getting me one. Graphics are great, 3d graphics (w/ glasses of course) it even has a mini hdmi port. There is another vibrant coming out as well the vibrant s2.

If you want a phone that is 100% open source you should go for the GeeksPhone Zero. Will start shipping in a couple of weeks.

Cyanogen tweeted g2x is next for him.... http://mobile.twitter.com/cyanogen/status/56817197850427392
I'm getting this on the 20th

Lg2x over vibrant?

So the release date for the us lg g2x for tmobile hits online store on the 15th of april and in stores 20th of april. With my contract expiring, should I get the lg g2x? I love the vibrant but I feel its time to move.on..

I think I'm going to wait and see how the dev scene for the 2x is and what the official specs for the htc pyramid are before I choose.
I am not very impressed with the display and camera of Optimus 2X which is essentially a G2X
G2X is cool but I still want to wait to see what the Pyramid has to offer.
It would be awesome if Samsung made the Galaxy S II a G-Series phone.
I would wait for the pyramid.
Im going to pick this one up just to sell it when the galaxy s II come out. Im sick of my vibrant as well...
Is the pyramid for tmobile? If so I'll wait. I also heard the sgs2 is quite expensive
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
I'm waiting for the pyramid. No more Samsung for me.
Pyramid is going to have a locked bootloader which may take a long time to crack. I'd go with Samung/LG or anyone who supports open architecture.
G2X is surely tempting but I'd wait for a review to compare camera samples gps lcd etc.
The review from gsmarena for optimus2x doesn't look like camera and display are anything special...it says the lcd is not as good as iphone 4 despite using same technology and teh camera has a blue tint/less saturation and colors don't look very appealing.
Nevertheles, LG has put out a solid device and definitely heading in the right direction.
I'm considering this also. I'm kinda tired of the vibrant and if you have a family plan you can use the other lines upgrades for smart phones if you go through radio shack.

lol good grammer!!!!!!
well the SgS II is my option... honestly yes samsung is ****ed up on how they release updates/sources for there phones but SUPER AMOLED! your ****ing high if your gonna give that up... my brother has a Droid x.... i had a HD2 and then a HD7 and after 8 months of my vibrant i wont switch to LG/HTC... . and **** HTC ohhh cool you get updates sooner but the boot loader will take a few months to crack... it took a month just for them to crack the droid X ( let alone the 4.3' screen on that droid ****ing blows... big LCD no clarity?)
**** any think other than SuperAMOLED!
the galaxy s/SGS II's are the BEST phone for your money and proven to preform... ive soft bricked my phone several times learning how to flash/mod
my brother had to get a 500 droid after he bricked his....
if your sick of your vibrant give it to me.... or atleast consider SgS II
as for the cost of the SGS II its most likely gonne be 500-600 bucks WITHOUT CONTRACT/UPGRADE... so more in the 200-300 range.... Gx2 LMFAO my old nokia flip phone has a better camera and screen...
tmobile may not get the galaxys2.
the g2x has only 512mb of ram. the pyramid has 1gb.
so i can see waiting.
unfortunetly i have the money now.
so if apr 12th doesnt include a world release of the pyramid i may have to go g2x.
the screen is comparible to samoled.
not quite as good but still just slightly lesser.

im considering this phone too. Samsung GS2 might take a while for T-mo since they have to add the bands for t-mo's 4G and with the update history samsung has, not really excited about it. The HTC pyramid interested me before, but now i could care less about it. The G2x will have vanilla android, which they stated they chose vanilla android in order to get updates out quickly, so we'll see how that goes. I dont have to renew till november, so we'll see what happens. I just wish the G2x had the NOVA screen. Maybe by the time I can upgrade they'll be more options.
You could get Thrill 4G, it has NOVA screen and 3D recording. It also has OMAP which is faster than Tegra. You'll need to buy it off contract when ATT releases it,

I agree with you 100% except for the part about Samsung supporting an open platform. Do we know yet for sure how open the Galaxy S2 will be? I'm worried Samsung will be forced to become Motorola by the carriers

I'm waiting for Intel's i7 mobile to come out... last I heard it is due Q5 of 2011. The first phone featuring the processor is going to have active cooling with running fans. The prototype looks bad ass. It's like a classic American muscle car with a large vent/intake on the hood for its turbos, except on a phone.
For all those people who want to upgrade, but still have a while left on their original contract....
If you call up customer service, and tell them you are thinking about jumping ship, and want to know when your contract is up, they will usually allow you an upgrade, and restart your contract the day you buy the upgrade. I've done this twice now, and I'll do it again when the lgx2 comes out. (you have to do this with customer service, and not at the store. I called up there and *****ed about my vibrant's gps, etc, and they said I could do an upgrade if I wanted.)
I would if I could

Sgs2 or what?

I was just wondering what phone you guys are waiting for, I'm personally waiting for the sgs2, hopefully it comes out soon enough. Seems mostly everyone has gone to the g2x already.
if they did go for the g2x already i feel sorry for them in my opinion. ive seen the reviews and no way is it even close to sg2 not even close to htc sensation. im gonna get either one of those, preferable sg2!

Precisely.
The reason why a lot of people have gone towards the g2x is the big support from the Dev community. Unlocked bootloader + source has already been released.
Not to mention sg2 has no release date for the u.s, others couldn't wait.

These are reasons why people in this community would buy or take a long look at it, seems like a good phone and most reviews are quite good. Samsung and there slow updates, and lack of source make a tough phone for developers and now that HTC and Moto are locking their bootloaders, its gets harder to dev's to make the fun they make.

Hands Down SGS2, I love being able to tinker, but even if I cant I love samsung hardware. I gotta say for support though, LG or HTC
I never understood the craze over the g2. Is there something with current roms that you don't like?
Idk about craze over the G2, but it is a fantastic phone, especially for emulators in my opinion, but thats because you can get some nice clocks outta the CPU. I got one (well, not mine, I tinker with my friends) running @ 1.8ghz, and thats pretty sexy playing OOT on there perfectly (almost) In regards to roms, you mean for vibrant? I have no problem with anyones work =) just prefer my own I'm working on =P
I understand that the G2, and all second gen snapdragons for that matter, can clock high, but is there any application other than emulators that use that power. After all, developers have to take care of both the low and high end phones. Plus, you are killing the lifespan of the CPU and lowering your battery life.
The vibrant runs fine on 2.2.1 and is helped by Samsung's GPU acceleration implementation in both the launcher and browser. And once the i9000 gingerbread roms start rolling out, we can only expect greater speed and stability.
Mostly people suffer from nuevo-addiction and waiting is just too much. Also, alot of people who have phones I have noticed once the phone becomes bugfree with lots of support they bail for a new phone to conquer the new phone system.
I am waiting for the S2
if you've got the money why nit? if I'm a millionaire I would buy all the latest android phone.

I'm looking forward to the sensation. The galaxy s2 wont be significantly better in terms of hardware, and I've got a real bad taste in my mouth from the lack of support my vibrant has received from Samsung. Locked bootloader or not, the sensation is still a pretty good looking phone that I'm sure will perform well.
Worst case scenario, I buy the sensation, hate it and return within 14 days, wait for something else to be released. My vibrant and hd2 should keep me happy until I find something great.

To me the problem is buying a carrier altered edition of the phone. The international GS seems to get upgrades just fine. They don't have to wait on Samsung AND then the retarded carriers with all their alterations and other BS. That's what owning my Vibrant has taught me. 100% international & unlocked only from here on in. I'll be buying the International SGS2 as soon as I can, no US version for me ever again.
all i want is a new google nexus phone with a notification led duel cameras with flash and a duel core processor then ill be happy

Evo3d or galaxy s2

I like both phone, both has crazy specs, I have the evo now and love it. What I love about the evo is that there is so many roms to choose from. My main concern is which phone is easier to develop for and do you think Samsung development community would be as big as HTC development community. Not to mention that I love the cm roms and there roms is still in experimental stage for Samsung. I really answering my own question for the evo3d but that screen on the galaxy s2 is calling me.

I sold my EVO and bought an Epic back in December... big mistake for someone that likes to dev and tweak his phone. The Epic hardware is awesome, but the dev support is very lacking. Yeah, I could overclock my Epic and score 2400+ on Quadrant and it took great HD Video compared to the EVO. The screen was also beautiful. I traded the Epic for an EVO because I missed being able to dev. If you're the type of person that always wants to be on the cutting edge with the newest version of Android, then stay with what the DEVs are using (probably EVO3D). If you're someone that runs the same ROM for months at a time (i.e. not a flashaholic) then the Samsung S II may be best for you. It depends on what you're looking for and what you're looking to do with your phone.

Yup Evo 3D, even tho it might have lock bootloader like the thunderbolt, it will have more support from developers, and good ones too, virus is coming alone and myns wants too, I believe mik is coming and of course others

I wonder how long it will take them to crack the bootloader if it is indeed locked. I hope not too long. But its what ever. After running Virus' Kindom Port, ill be fine with stock un-rooted for a lil while
My only concern is developing for the EVO 3D as they have some new files that are going to be or may be difficult to work on. Only time will tell. I'm going to the EVO 3D because I love Sense and I can tell you right now the galaxy wont have that.
My favorite roms are myns for sense and cm7 for latest android roms. So I guess ill stay with HTC

I checked out both phones at Google IO. The galaxy S2 was so thin and the screen was amazing. Both phones were super snappy.
The only turnoffs for me on the galaxy s2 was the plasticky cover and the weight. Anyone who's owned a Samsung phone knows what i'm talking about with the plasticky feeling phones. But the weight of the S2 blew me away. I can't remember a lighter smartphone. It felt like a toy. It was basically "too light." I'm sure for many, that phrase doesn't even make sense, but for me, I like phones that feel solid and have some substance to them. For some, when they throw this phone in their pocket, they won't even know its there.
I have to hand it to Samsung though. The S2 is an impressive engineering accomplishment. Its the highest performance phone I've seen announced, and its so damn thin and light.
I'm personally a fan of sense, or at least having the option of sense, and I doubt that would ever fully translate to a Samsung product no matter what developers are working on it.
I really love the slab form of the GSII, if they release a HTC slab phone (like the Sensation) on Sprint, that would really be the phone I'd want. Evo 2?
HTC has better radios and gps, Samsung sucks!
the s2 does seem intriguing...also i hate that instead of hdmi out, the use usb and then give you a converter cable w/ an additional power source on it. plus, for some unknown reason, it seems we could be waiting a while before it actually hits the market in the states for some reason eventhough it is already in europe (gsm version). also, i hopped on to the evo 3d thread a while ago and the dev's were introducing themselves...there were LOADS of great dev's coming on board. With the specs and dev's on board, the 3d will have some spectacular features!
I am intrigued by the GS2 and the new version of Touchwiz... I HATE HATE HATE touchwiz, but the new version looks ok so far.
One thing that will keep me from considering the GS2 is if it has a physical keyboard. I don't know why Sprint has to be the one that gets that...
I'm going with the EVO 3D. The specs look awesome.
Neither, its all about the Nexus 3
^that not going to be out for a while

Upgrade my Vibrant????

OK contract is up and I have a chance for a full upgrade with T-Mobile, would it be wise to use it now for maybe a Sensation, G2X, Galaxy S 4g
Any feedback from anyone who has tested the phones would be great
I tried the Sensation for like 4 days. I'd stay far away from it... If you can wait, rumor has it that the Hercules should be out no later than late September. That's undoubtedly what I will be doing. Apparently no SG2 for T Mo coming.

Is the Hercules the name for the new Nexus. If I were going to get a new phone I would get the Nexus. I personally have a Vibrant T-959 but all my friends have the Nexus. I love that phone and will probably get the new Nexus this fall.
Same in the dilemma as you. Going to wait and see when the prices drop. My vibrant is doing almost everything I ask for except the flash camera and GPS.
Yeah I know that's why I'm hesitating, my vibrant with Trigger 3.3 + Bullet is plenty quick and everything works just right, including GPS (quick to lock & spot on). That dual core processor is tempting on the Sensation but I've heard a lot of mixed reviews of it.
I'm in the same boat and am waiting to see what the next Nexus phone holds. After this phone and the mytouch slide I had before, I'm done waiting for carrier updates and locked bootloaders. Nexus for me from here on out.

I agree on both points. BUT, guys, remember the hype on Sensation? Then when they bit, it had mixed reviews.
"... Sensation is a BEAST of a phone! Tops all others when it arrives in the US!"
Yeah. I heard it before. I'm waiting for a Nexus line or whenever there's a bit better review of the Hercules. Besides, the rumor that the Herc is coming this fall is just pure speculation.
Either that, or wait for the SGS II 1.4Ghz to lower thier prices. Since we'll end up becoming AT&T soon with the merger, SGSII 1.4Ghz version might fit, so it's best to wait out on a lot of things nowadays. Rumor also dictates that the SGS II 1.4Ghz will have mixed bands of TMO and AT&T.
Aaaahhh, rumors. Hate to love them, Love to hate them. I'll believe it when it's on tv or media. Until then, waiting it out really will come to play for my next "Beast".
wait a few months... see what comes out (Hercules)... then wait another month or two for prices to drop and bugs to get worked out!
If we get Gingerbread like rumored, that will add another month or two of enjoyment to our phones... and the Netflix app being released for our phones (works on mine, stock 2.2 + Voodoo KB1 kernel)... HOURS of endless enjoyment to hold you over until the next wave of goodies comes out! And maybe prices to be amazing over holidays!

T mobile out of G2 warranty phones!

Warranty phone replacement. they sent me two replacements both not acceptable. one the keyboard was messed up and the other the sd card "cage" was messed up.
15 minutes with tmobile and they offer me a sidekick 4g as a replacement for my G2. I laugh and him and tell him that's not going to work. I tell him i am not a 17 year old girl and that that phone is not even in the same league as the HTC G2. Supervisor requested. 30 minutes later and he still offers me a side kick. Supervisor requested again. 45 min i am able to get my G2 again when they have them in stock. Not sure when. Supervisor demanded and now i'm getting really rude. 55 minutes with tmobile and still no supervisor but now i am offered a HTC Sensation. I'll live with that. Though i am sad to have to part ways with my G2. I really had no want to get rid of it. Guess it is what it is.
This happened today from 11am to 12pm. Just an FYI.
I'm pretty sure there was a few available online few weeks back, Try ordering online you might have better success or ebay could be another option.
This was for warranty replacement. Not going to buy a new phone while the current one has warranty.

Basically they gave you a hard time because they were trying to get rid of old hardware and you wouldn't accept it, so you ended up getting a hardware upgrade for free(yes upgrade, aside from the physical keyboard the hardware is better).
I went through the same thing with Bell getting replacements for two Dexts, none for replacements they tried to give me Blackberries :/ I wouldn't accept and fought and ended up with two Desire Z's Shouldn't need to fight about it, its their problem not ours if they cant/won't keep hardware....
sent from my Desire Z using XDA premium app
the lack of physical keyboard doesn't bother me since i never use it. I got the G2 because it was basically stock android and tmo told me they weren't going to release a nexus s 4g. Trying to stays true AOSP. It looks like it will be harder to stay AOSP with the sensation but with the help of devs in that forum i'll figure it out. They still have nowhere near the development that the G2 has. and i am a flash whore so that might get annoying. Guess its time for me to learn some dev skills.
and yes the sensation IS an upgrade. All i wanted was a shinny new to me G2. but once they offered me a sidekick i knew i would hold out for the sensation.
My G2 kicked the bucket last week and they sent me a refurbished one with a broken MicroSD slot (Not sure if it was the same as the OP's). I called them immediately and without even needing to escalate it they said they're out of G2's and had to replace it with a different phone of my choice. It was either the MyTouch 4G Slide, LG Optimus Q or the Sensation.
Guess they're really running out of G2s and are just handing out upgrades now.
Hmmm. My G2 is doing the stupid cardock crap non stop. Maybe I will replace it with a Sensation. I'm due for an upgrade anyway, so why not get the sensation for free until the HTC One X or SGSIII hits shelves.
Guess I have to unroot and return this phone back to stock.

Everyone should shift over to the MyTouch 4G Slide!!!
Development is really starting to pick up on that phone. It has been officially added to the Virtuous Team lineup as well, not to mention the slew of new roms that have popped up in the past 2 months.
Made the switch about a month ago and it's a great phone. Liking it more everyday. The G2 has some serious growing pains coming its way. It will handle ICS, but we are already starting to reach the limit of the hardware. If I wanted to do anything intensive (GTA 3, running MANY apps), you could tell the phone was struggling at times. And this was on gingerbread. With ICS running in the background, I can only assume that it will get worse. That's why I jumped ship.

I think that we are going to see some really good ICS roms soon now that Qualcomm has finally released proper GPU driver binaries for the chipset.

The 4G Slide is one of the best qwerty androids out. And judging by how often they come out, it will be for quite some time. You won't regret it. It is everything the G2 should have been under the hood

I'll admit the MT4g Slide is a great phone. Who knows, the htc one x ia rumored to be the "G4X" maybe we'll see a G4 soon.
