Dont hold your breath waiting this year for a nexus prime; I wouldn't expect that until next year some time. I think the photon, iphone 4s, htc kingdom, hero 4g, and some random wp7 mango phones are all thats coming out this year. At least that's the only phones we will care about lol. I cant prove this information im just stating rumors and info that leaked on other websites; it could all be false lol.
I dont know why but i have a weird feeling the sprint sgs2 is going to have a keyboard like the first galaxy did and the real galaxy s 2 (samsung within) is something entirely different.
FINALLY!
After almost three years of android phones, I'm bored as hell. Yeah my current G2x is near instant in almost every UI interaction, over 5000 quadrant, etc etc but Android itself is just boring at this point. I'm hoping something hardware wise can amaze me and renew my interest in Android, and I'm thinking the SAMOLED+ screen might be it.

I still have my 3D and yes im looking to sell it. Im currently in an htc arrive atm looking to purchase a better android device. I hate the 3D.
I wonder if this could be the 4.5" Hercules rumored for T-mobile, except for Sprint? Seeing as the dimensions are wider and taller than the international version. Could be just to make room for WiMax radios I guess.
So do you think we would be able to start using the custom ROMs that are already available for the international version when this one comes out?

Its hard to tell so early isnt it? probably could port. Idk man im stuck in a situation right now to even start thinking about that so early. I wanna sell my evo 3D, I still have my upgrade which means my contract is already expired, should I buy this with my upgrade? I planned on leaving sprint to get the iphone 5 so i dont know what to do! ahhh
I have upgrades available on two of my lines that I may be using if something truly intriguing comes out. After the track record that Samsung and Sprint have when it comes to system updates, I am probably not going for the SG2, as pretty and awesome as it is. I will see what comes out there.
Yea well cyanogen is already supporting the sgs2 or they have a couple and are developing cm for it I dunno I don't really keep up on it but it should be fully tweak able unlike the 3d(for now). I love my evo 4g but I think it's a good time to up my cores. Plus, HTC isn't earning any points by not sticking to their promises like releasing source code whenever they damn well please and the whole bootloader fiasco. All that just makes those samoled screens look even better. Wish they weren't all plastic but thats apparently how you have to make a thin phone. Just looks cheap for such an expensive piece of hardware.

Yeah the 3D is not my cup of tea either. Play around with it at the store and wasn't impress by it at all. Love my 4G but absolutely hate my video cam on it. Very very poor in low light (every custom rom available) compare to my Daughter's Epic and this SG2 which seem to probably be alot better then the 3D or any HTC in that department. So this might be my next phone as well if nothing else releases by then.

Well they better release a pyramid equivalent otherwise its a re badged EVO 4G. They need to improve the screen resolution to the qHD resolution at the very least. And they need to make it out of a alum. body and a little thinner and lighter

I agree...I want at least the innards of the Pyramid (if not better), plus an aluminum body. I think the Evo looks great but it's a little lacking in terms of build quality. With all the money HTC raked in last year I think they can afford to up the quality of the materials they use.

YES!!!!!!!! Of the five HTC devices I've used all of them have been badass for their time, and they seem to always the easiest devices to root.
The pyramid gives me a lot of hope though. HTC seems to be really good at putting out a ton of handsets with almost the same hardware, but making each of them special and cool in their own right. If were luck it might even have a freakin laser beam built in by the time we get it!

I dunno man. I used the HTC Touch Pro and that build quality was ****.
i remember reading about the evo last year being like "4g! this sounds cool!" and going to the sprint store to check out the evo. Since then I've had the evo.
When Sprint announced the Epic 4g, i got kind of excited again until i saw and handled it and realized how crummy and cheap it felt... the cheap plastice feel and look.
....is this what we are to expect from Sprint this year, or will our minds be blown by an even more awesomer EVO 2 4g^2.
Sprint please surprise with something awesome that looks, feels AND performs awesomely!

That phone is going to be a tmobile exclusive.
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.

Poor misinformed soul.....
It's a promising sign but I'm not sure I'm quite convinced that Samsung is trying to change their ways. Of course, we also have no proof that HTC is going to truly unlock their bootloaders either.
My experience with 3 stock Samsung Android phones on Sprint has left a bitter taste in my mouth.
1. I had the original "Moment" from day 1. Paid $475 for it and had nothing but problems.
2. My wife has the "Transform" (I gave Samsung a mulligan for the Moment since it was 1st generation....) -- big mistake, almost as crappy as the Moment.
3. My Daughter has the "Intercept" -- got it at the same time as the Transform (so I did not have a chance to see that the Moment was more a precursor to the craptastic to come rather than a "one off" mistake.
Even without rooting and romming -- the EVO is head and shoulders above any of the Samsung phones I have seen. As far as being able to actually use it without weird things happening.
Yes....I said it --- that is the downfall of Samsung phones...."Weird things happen at a very slow pace, and even doing basic things like making a phone call or sending a text becomes a huge undertaking."
Had I not known better (owning other Android devices) -- could have sworn that Samsung was trying to make Android look like a steaming, buggy, not ready for prime time, piece of crap OS....When in fact it is not that at all.
As a last desperate measure before purchasing my EVO....I rooted and installed a custom ROM on my Moment -- and it actually was a pretty good experience to turn it into a device I could at least make phone calls on and send texts (which was worlds above stock Moment -- even though the GPS no longer worked.) So I can at least thank Samsung for forcing me to discover the world of custom roms.

Official, no. Testing, yes. Samsung could easily give a CDMA developer the device, but it'll be discreet until the carrier announcement. This was a good move by Samsung, but don't forget about the Nexus One and EVO 4G. Classy move by Samsung, but nothing HTC haven't done before and more.

Samsung is the most aggressive smartphone manufacturer right now (giving phones to dev is just a brilliant PR move if nothing else).
This ain't no Epic. SG2 marks a new era for Samsung. I've had it for 2 weeks now (with my EVO) leading up to what would have been my pending EVO 3D purchase... which will likely morph into a Sprint Within purchase at this point.
Obviously 'user experience' is highly subjective...but it seems unlikely the 3D will match this rooted, stripped SG2 experience I'm enjoying now. Fiercely fast...brilliant multimedia performance...at least compared to the 4G..

Very subjective, but I fail to agree that the 3D rooted and optimized fails to match, especially when noone has even touched the phone. The specs are too good on it not to be one of the best phones of the year, and rooted and optimized is only icing on the cake.
How is the screen on the 3d compared to a super amoled. I tried reading specs but have no idea what they mean. I just wanna be able to actually see my phone when I'm outside.

Yeah, hope your right..really do. To me it comes down to the camera quality and video quality...cause other than that the only thing it has going thats appreciatively better than my rooted gingerbread 4G!...is pixel density and that its faster.

I'm sure this has been discussed before but I'm wondering from a dev's perspective if a Epic Touch will be similar to the Epic in terms of development. I really love the EPIC and we are lucky to have a solid list of good dev's. But there has always been that road block for us because our hardware was so different. I had a Hero before this phone and needless to say I miss the huge community, but overall I've liked the EPIC ton's more because the hardware/speed is so awesome. Is this something we can expect with the Galaxy S2 series? And is this just a matter of people just know HTC better so dev'ing for one of their phones is just more familiar to everyone, or is Samsung just making our phones overly complicated to dev?
The development community will be much bigger, simply because the SGS2 is the most popular phone in every country it's in. So of course when it hits US it's going to be very popular.
Hardware is closer to the other variants than the epic was to is, so it should be better. Also, Verizon's not getting it, so that should bring some devs over here. The only difference seems to be CDMA and that only takes a few files, so ports should be much easier.
It'll be similar because we still have 4g and different builds along with carriers putting all their extra junk in it. However, we should at least be all running the same software wise this time. We will still be last receiving updates because GSM networks always get them first.

I know I'm not. Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me. Its already September and Gingerbread came out last December on a Samsung phone nonetheless, and we're still on software that's almost a year and a half old with no source code or drivers in sight. We can't even create our own up to date roms, and Samsung is unreliable when it comes to updates. Our phone possibly has the worst development community thanks to Samsung slacking on updates,drivers, and source code. I will never go through this again. Goodbye Samsung forever. Its either a Nexus phone, iPhone or Windows Phone for me from now on, and none by Samsung.

I'm strongly considering it...I certainly like the specs
But in all probability I'm going to jump ship to the iPhone next month. Between the last two phones I've owned (Epic and Palm Pre), I'm getting pretty damn sick of manufacturers who can't develop worth a spit.
No Epic Touch for me...
Too much money since i only get 75 dollars off...
Plus im waiting for Nexus to come to sprint by january or the next HTC device.
I like my epic still and am done with samsung unless its the nexus..
Ill be here still

what's the difference between this and the nexus s 4g?
Samsung is getting better I think w/ their newer phones, have way better screens than everyone except LG (which could go either way), and better specs. I'm not getting it though, if I could I would.
I love the specs and hardware on the Epic, but I need a phone with development behind it. I love what our devs have been able to do with what they have, but I am going to wait a month til after a phone is out to see how it is going before I jump in.

I got the epic in October and it was an awesome. Then after waiting for updates 6 months after everybody got there's on other phones I learned my lesson and now waiting for gingerbread official leak sucks. I want the next nexus phone only because it a true Google phone without the bloatware and seems to get its updates quicker than others. I thought about the epic touch but will hold off for now plus its another dual core phone which i dont think will be put to good use till more dual core phones come out.
this is my first Samsung phone... and last. most likely jumping to the iphone later this year. i love android and the specs of our current epic4g is awesome but theres no real development for this.

I'm satisfied with my Nexus S at the moment, but give me a fully functional 80mb CM7 or any AOSP zip & I will get it in a instant.

I'm not thrilled about selling out to Apple either but, let's be honest, Samsung's a waste of time. Google is another story...may be worth holding out until the Prime rather than be subsumed by the Apple dark lord.
Can't get it...
Still have another year and retail is too expensive
Remember buy a phone for what it is not what its gonna get and how fast. Always gonna be something better next month or so. I just refuse to buy any apple products anymore.

Definitely i would go for the Prime if you didn't like the epics updates ... you won't be disappointed on a nexus device ... and don't even talk about the dev community behind nexus devices ...
If I ever buy another Android phone, it'll have to be a nexus device or something I know has the ability to load AOSP on it myself. Between manufacturer bloat and carrier bloat I'm done with all the crap...
I still like my EPIC .... I'd like my next phone to have a physical keyboard .... but I might get this

This right here is the reason. I got the Epic 4G the very first day it was available and still have to wait until June if I don't wanna get raped with retail pricing....

Just get it at Best Buy when it releases. Best Buy takes $75 upgrades and still lowers it to 199.99. Every single time I upgrade there it ends up 199.99.
