Atrix or not atrix

please help me out. I'm with rogers canada they are sending me iphone 4. There is no way ill use or open it cause of previous experience. So I'm gonna sell it for 500. Now if you had to buy any of this phone which you would get? Atrix, sgs2, dhd, or nexus s. DHD already available here and nexus s and atrix coming this month. Sgs2 heard somewhere at&t version will be available. So which you would get?

Coming from a captivate to this IMO is amazing. The gps is really good, it dosent bog down like ever (updating like 10 apps or right after a, boot can get a little laggy but must phones won't even respond during this). Coming from a samoled screen to this....meh trade off the images are more crisp due to higher pixel count but samoled wins in the contrast.
Honestly I think I'd still love this phone if the boot loader wasn't cracked (but it will be). Seeing that you come from an x10i (gf had a x10a with 2.1) I think you'd like the atrix. Hell I love it coming from a 1.4 OCed captivate. Just my .02 hope it helps ya!

Arc vs Play

Guys, I won a contest from Rogers for a free Android phone, I have to choose between the Arc and Play. Which one do you guys recommend?

Choose arc and give me your x10 hehe.

if you already have the X10, then you should go for the play

wow congrats that is awesome!!
Definitely arc, play has a horrid screen and I think the novelty would wear off quickly

And don't forget that the strips that slide the keypad out wears out fast.
If you get a play you are risking some mechanical damage since the strips are the weak spots of the phone =/
+1 for the Arc =D, hopefully they already have CWM and CM7 working lol

So 3 Arc's vs 1 Play
Hmm.. well I;m still waiting for them to email me so it will be official, but thanks guys. I'm considering selling the Arc and using it to buy SGS 2

hahaha good call on that one!!
sgs2 is a freakin' powerhouse

I like the play.. the line up of games looks good.
I have not seen the screen, but i really love the controls.
I am a psp fan.. but i would rather get a psp2 for that.
I would prefer a device with the Dual Core Tegra Chipset with the play's Dual Analog Touch Pads.
So my vote is on nothing right now.

Haha, yeah I wish they were dual core, but its a FREE phone lol. So which one do you think I should get?

Nice decison... the SGS2 is a beast of a phone!
Choose between the arc and play, get whichever one is more expensive so that you can sell it for more.
If they are the same price, go with the arc. Its a beauty.

check on ebay how prices are handled for both phones so you can see which one would be more profitable for you!

Upgrding Help

So I have decided to upgrade to a new phone but i have a budget of around 300 USD
I was thinking of either the:
Xperia Arc
Optimus 2X
Nexus S
I really like the design of the Xperia Arc but the O2X has much better hardware and the Nexus S has better software support, although the Xperia line up has free Xperia team working on ROMS
If you have any other phone to suggest feel free
Thank you

I'd go for the galaxy s2. Best phone there is. Perfect screen and will get ICS soon

What phone are you currently using?

What phones does everyone use right now?
Did your current phone influence you on getting the nexus 7?
I currently have an evo4G and evo3D (3D is my daily driver)

Not my current phone but the Nexus S did, I currently use my Galaxy Nexus the most.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

My arsenal includes an iPhone 4S, HTC One X, Play Store Galaxy Nexus, and GSIII. I'm hoping to get a call from Game Stop today that my Nexus 7 is in and ready for pickup, too...LOL.
I don't use the 4S anymore...I'll be passing it down to my wife so she can upgrade from her iPhone 4. My daily drivers right now are the GNex and GSIII, as I'm test-driving the GSIII and trying to decide if I'm going to keep it or the One X (I'm leaning towards keeping the GSIII and selling the One X...I won't think about selling the GNex until the next Nexus phone is announced). I've still got 3 more weeks to play with the GSIII before I can't return it, so we'll see, but I'm liking what I'm seeing so far. I bought it at full price from Best Buy.
I do have to admit, though, the GNex with JB is my favorite.

stock nexus s. Waiting for 4.1.1 for it.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app

I flick between original, amoled HTC Desire (rooted and s-off) and Nexus S I9020 (stock). I prefer the screen and build quality on the former, and the storage (not relying on sdext and so forth) and ICS stock rom (updates) on the latter. I wanted the Nexus 7 no matter which phone I am using!

I have a Desire HD and am still 9 months away from an upgrade. Buying the N7 was an easy decision. Cheap, fast, portable, first tablet.
I'm not fussed about getting a new phone now - will happily wait until next summer.

I've got a rezound at the moment, but I'm upgrading to an S3 tomorrow, which is also the day my 7 gets delivered
I'm far too excited lol

Got an Xperia Play. Hoping i can play games on the n7 using it

T-mobile G2 (Desire Z for those outside the US).

HTC Titan Stable as hell and can do most of the stuff I need it to.

I'm still using my Nexus One. I figured the Nexus 7 would be a good choice because it has like, six more nexuses.

Samsung Vibrant, I still love this phone, but now playing with the 7 it is really dated.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

I have a Galaxy S II at the moment. Now that I have the Nexus 7 I know for sure that my next phone will be a Nexus device.
Sent from my Nexus 7

Samsung Focus (spare), Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-I9300 (main).
I had the Samsung Galaxy Note previously, it replaced my SII and my Notion Ink Adam Tablet. But it was too big as a phone and too small as a tablet, both great and bad at the same time IMO, YMMV.
Since hearing of the Asus MeMo 370T for $250. It's what I was considering, until it was cancelled and replaced with a lesser featured prototype, but supported by Google. It wasn't a long wait, so the SGS3 became the best phone option for me.

Galaxy Nexus, duh!

Motorola Photon and I guess it could have helped in my decision because I no longer want to wait for updates. While the Photon is a great phone I'd really like a Nexus phone as well, here is hoping that Moto/Goog is one of the OEM's chosen to make a Nexus phone this fall.

Still rocking a 4s, i just love it especially the apple tv stuff plus all the family have iPods etc etc

Good for you ... Samsung is the best hardware for now

device : note2
ROM : cm10.1 nightly

Jump "back"? You did own Note 2 previously then? Why'd you ditch it at all in the first place?
Welcome back anywho

I tried the experia z as well..
Although I loved the crisp screen the battery life was just awful compared to the note. I think I will stick with my new note II for a while and wait until the next generations of hardware.

yes i did but sold it few weeks back as i was getting the xperia z at a tempting price since the seller had just used it for a week but sumhow was missing that bulk handset in my hand hahaha !!!

Yes. Before the note I thought the size was just ridiculous. Now even "big" phones like the s3 and nexus 4 look too small.

It's not really that stupid, xperia Z has pretty damn good specs. Not that i would be tempted, since i love this ultimate phablet.

Actually what we care is the battery life specs dosnt matter cuz it only have a crisp screen
Only if the xperia were to have an octo core and a better battery then I would want it

Actually it's not idiotic, people love to get new phones and I would like to swap it for a week. But I wouldn't have it for a long time since the screen is way to small. But I wouldn't be mad if I got one. As there is much awesome features in Xperia that I like but Samsung doesn't have. But the feature way I think Samsung is better. But I would definitely like to use Xperia Z due to it wouldn't be boring to get another phone to play around with
Also about customisation they got some themes standard. And I think it's sad that Samsung doesn't have that. I like to customize my phone and change the look. HTC is one of those who actually is one step forward but they got too few themes but it changes even the notifications and pull down bar. Sony just change the icons and menu background. But what can we change from Samsung? We need 3rd party apps to change what we want. It's a bit of a shame.
I can't call it idiotic to swap the note ii to Xperia Z it's all about what you want to do with your phone.
So your comment is idiotic no matter what people will one day be tired of their current device but they maybe not be able to change. I'll wait for note iii or ill change to galaxy mega as its a cool phone/tablet

I simply miss all those motion features on xperia z, the one i simply luvd and crave for is swipe the palm to capture screen then the led notification light which shld b pretty standard for a handset ,the one on xperia is pretty tiny and a lil buggy last.but nt the least i find note pretty user friendly.

bought one finally ))

Got to borrow a Z for four days a while back to try out LTE in another city. Atrocious screen (Seriously terrible), poor battery life, bad camera, & broken software. Shame, as I love Sony's industrial design, and their approach to Android skinning is rather nice. Keep wanting them to make something great, they get close at times but the basics are all wrong.
Note keeps on being fantastic.

I remember when I sold my note 1 for HTC One X, that was the worst mistake I have ever made. Since then I have tried the Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, Optimus G, Galaxy S 3 and now I'm back on the note 2. All the reviews are saying that the HTC One is the best phone out there right now, but don't let them trick you like they did me with the HTC One X.
