So its funny by now we all know a new device with the same specs as our last device last month drops every 4 months or so.I was doing some thinking and I love this device its specs beat lots of other dualcore phones and match others the Atrix really is a future proof device from the 16gigs On board to the DDR2 1gig ram and Tegra2 Qhd screen I mean sure we have no NFC chip but that chip won't stop it from being fast or future proof.Look at the Evo3D vs Atrix we have better ram and Way more Rom 16gigs vs 4 same with sensation and G2X the Photon is the same device but with 4.3 and Better data speeds Umm what else nothing else beats Atrix I mean yes the Gs2 is nice and the Htc Holiday but man 4.5 idk and we don't know the full specs and they will still only run 1gig ram and not DDR2 I bet so in All I love this baby I have had it from day one but I just returned to it 4 days ago I was on the G2X and Sensation witch I still have.

ATRIX... starwars... 1.5ghz..... link me!
Making a smartphone with full of newest specs is easy for any OEMs but it is hard to make a STABLE smartphone with no BUGS or glitches. That's where atrix is way above than the S2, Sensation, LG's end others. I always said that Sensation, S2 wouldn't last more than 6 months without something broken. I wasn't wrong, just check their forums, lol. Atrix was advertised as the " Worlds most powerful smartphone " and that still counts.
just my 2 cents.
The only thing holding the Atrix back is it's software. The stock ROM is kinda poor when compare to others and we don't have a completely stable AOSP ROM base yet. I know the custom ROM do a great job of making this phone FLY, but once we have a clean build and some more ROMs not hindered by Blur, this will be a tough phone to beat for some time. Case in point, look at quadrant numbers (I know they mean little) on Atrix's with clock speeds of 1.2 and 1.3 ghz...they are through the roof, and I believe and above S2's of the spec. Why Moto doesn't doesn't write better ROM's is a mystery to me.
Edit 1.3ghz Typo .....remove stick from A$$ slowly and proceed to your nearest exit

Exactly! Was planning on switching to sprint in jan. This is just in time. Just what I wanted. I do not want a behemoth to carry arround. My nexus one with 3.7 screen is perfect size. All I missed was a slide out keyboard and front facing cam.
One other thing I like to consider though. Which will be more likely to have future OS versions ported? I dont bother on relying on sprint/samsung/htc for updates. I am asking about difficulty for devs. A big reason I was considering the epic is that the nexus s came out running the same platform, which made me think porting new OS releases would relatively easy. Is the shift likely to get new releases faster since it is an HTC product? I know it is impossible to know anything but what are your guy's thoughts on this right now?

Err, not sure if this is sarcasm, as beyond exaggeration it is false. You imply the shift has a slower CPU. Dont count mhz. The second gen snapdragon in the shift will certainly outperform the evo without question and with 45nm tech get better batt life to boot. I agree the Evo is not sluggish though. Which means the shift will be even better. Maybe you just need to ditch sense?
As for screen size that is not a downgrade. It is user preference. I like a nice compact device, not a brick.
Same thing with keyboard. I like getting real work done on my handset. KB is very effective.
If you already know this and were joking I apologize . If you were serious you should really rethink your position and recognize that different things suit different people (the CPU issue however is clear cut that the shift is superior).
Cheers!
Those of you who do decide to buy the Shift might be disappointed come June when the true successor to the Evolution drops.

Haha, classic definition of user error right here.
Honestly, if your EVO is that bad then you either have a bad device, or you've done something horribly wrong, in which case.. you shouldn't worry about owning a smartphone.. stick to the flips.
http://www.androidcentral.com/sprin...ils-leaked-expect-evo-3d-evo-view-4g-and-xoom
Well, looks like we got some leaked specs of the Evo 3D, sounds good to me so far.
•4.3-inch 3D qHD capacitive 960 x 540 px display
•1730 mAh battery
•4GB internal memory with 8 GB SD card, expandable to 32 GB
•1 GB RAM
•1.2 GHz dual-core Snapdragon CPU
•Android 2.3
•Dual 5 MP rear cameras (3D)
•1.3 MP Front camera
•records 2D @ 1080p, 3D @ 720p
•Dimensions = 5.0 x 2.6 x .48 inches
•DNLA support and HDMI port
If that's all accurate, barring any serious drawbacks, that's enough for me to drop my epic for it even without a 2yr discount (outright)

Might make me jump ship when this is released!
Ya, I'd sell this phone for $200 and possibly my Evo for a phone with those specs. Plus you wouldn't have to put up with the drama here, so consider me SOLD.
I am waiting until Sprint decides on its future 4G plans.
Those specs are sexy but ill wait a few before i get it
to see whats going on with the Epic and also the pros/cons of it from other xda users experiences
This paired with project leapfrog makes Sprint #1 by far. Verizon no longer has anything on them. EVO 3D will win phone of the year, even of the iPhone 5 when it comes out in August.
I'm excited i wanna see what the new qHD displays look like
HOLY ****! 3D Pictures? That's awesome!
I'm already jealous lol
Hmmm... sounds kinda cool, but I'm honestly pretty happy with my Epic. Don't get me wrong. It sounds like a sweet device, but it's just not nice enough for me to justify switching.

Very true!
I will consider an upgrade (Premier Gold) provided a new phone meets my prerequisites of:
- physical keyboard
- 4" screen or bigger
- better camera (most important factor)
Somehow I missed that it will be dual core, not just 1.2 Ghz. I'm a bit more interested now lol. Although, that display would have to be pretty awesome... Unlike the previous Evo variations. Yuck!

You guys realise that our epic should be just as good over clock it to 1.3ghz and the powerVR gpu in our epics I believe are still better that the snapdragon ones. Plus that higher resolution on the qHD displays don't get as good framerates cause it taxes the cpu and **** harder didn't you see the thread that compared the atrix and other phones. I will keep my epic for now. I like my keyboard even tough it skips letters haha.

HTC Pyramid is the same exact phone (Yea, I know. Shocking news that HTC makes 45 exact same phones and just names them differently). Same processor, same resolution, with SLIGHTLY lower ram. LOL. GPU is utterly destroyed by the Galaxy S. Snapdragons are so crappy.
3D is just a gimmick. You have to have something that can display the images, and you have to wear those glasses. Its cool in theatre on the big screen, but on that little phone me thinks not.
I'll be keeping my Epic for quite awhile, planning on skipping the next gen just because I don't see it being much of a leap. When something comes out that my phone can't do then maybe I'll worry about it at that point.
Anyone else giving serious thought to moving to the Evo 3D from the Epic? I am. I know the bootloader is encrypted and that there is no guarantee that it will be unlocked but I just went to the Sprint store and played around with one for a few minutes.
What I noticed was that the screen was not nearly as washed out as the Evo 4G. I also liked how incredibly smooth the screen transition effects were. I've always liked sense but I also like TW3 and TW4.
So the one thing that really caught me off guard was the 3D pictures and movies. I was a little shocked at how cool they looked. I totally thought it was going to look like crap and that the 3D would be a feature I would never use. WRONG! I would probably use it all the time.
No, I've heard the 3D is pretty much rubbish. I'm sold on the Within which'll be released in about a month's time. A far superior phone imho.
what is the Within?
Edit: ah its the galaxy s2. That phone is the best smartphone made to date.

Sounds like your trying to convince yourself. I played with it a couple days ago and the screen definitely is no Samsung screen. I think i'll wait for the Within or something else down the road. Great specs and speed on the phone though.

the gpu is a single gpu.. thats all, no tom foolery its not a quadcore gpu with a dual core cpu..
as you can see from the chart.. the nexus s gets 20.9 fps, to get the same performance of an evo3d on this test (bear in mind this is a graphics/gpu test so cpu does have a small part to play in it but not as much) i could overclock my nexus s 4g to 1.4ghz and stomp the stock evo3d...
now why does this matter? you are taking a 1ghz single core, doubling the cores and adding a 20% boost to clock speed to get this kind of.. "performance" boost... now just to be fair ill post the scores of the pro version
now we can get to the good stuff sure the htc evo3d is now on the top, congrats hurrah! please refer back to number 1. you are talking about a cpu that has 220% performance boost, a brand new gpu.... and you get a increase in 11.5 frames per second. now sure when it gets hacked.. and if it can do overclocking im sure it will further push those specs... but from where im standing right now the evo3d is a bit of a joke. ill hold out for the nexus 3 or the sprint within... kthxbai
also as a side note i think its funny how a tegra 2 phone like the atrix takes a 9 fps hit compared to the stock android lg g2x, clearly motoblur is for the best
I was all excited about dual core phones till my roomie got an atrix. Android just isn't ready for it yet. Aside from benchmarks you can't really feel a difference.
Unless I see a massive change before my upgrade (in November), I'll hold out until the new phones are announced at CES and the other shows in the early spring. I'm hoping for a phone that is better than qHD (a la retina display).
I've been sitting on an upgrade since November just waiting for this phone. My wait was worth it. This phone is awesome. Fast, light, awesome camera, and has a really good finish to it. I got it out the door for $50 from best buy with the preorder and EVO trade in discount. Bought a otter box defender case too. The case is pretty badass

I've had my heart set on the HTC Evo 4g LTE since i heard about it, but now that I've seen specs on the LG Eclipse 4g LTE, i'm conflicted...
quad core s4 1500mhz, with 2 gb internal ram, and 16gb storage, and a REMOVABLE battery... what... I don't know about LG's quality tho, i've never owned a LG, and when i've seen them, they always seemed like "cheap" quality...

One of my reasons for (likely) hopping onto the Evo LTE wagon is the developer support I'm sure the device is going to get. HTC devices usually get a lot of love from developers, and the EVO incarnations (4G, 3D) have been among the best supported devices in terms of developers. Would it be nice having a quad core phone? Yeah. Doesn't make up for the fact that the development section will likely be a ghost town (for me at least).

Have you had it long enough to judge battery life? My upgrade is due June 1st but I really still enjoy the EVO even after two years. I am thinking of waiting.

It's 5pm right now I took the phone off the charger at 8am. I've done some browsing, market use, a couple phone calls and about 10 songs. I have Bluetooth and all sync items turned on (weather, email, etc.) And the battery is currently at 69%. It did sit idle for 2 hours while we went to the pool. So far I think the battery is running like a champ.
could you post some pics?? also with the phone inside the case, i was wondering how large the phone would look inside the otter case..
I'm picking mine up tonight. Gonna miss it around here. It's been great here the last 2yrs.
Thanks to all :thumbup:

Hopefully you did the Best Buy preorder deal. $50 for this phone is a steal. For the price I would have to say this is the best electronic devices that Ive bought as far bang for the buck.
Got it last night. Lovin it. It's almost too big. Funny how quickly my Evo could feel small. And we've already got 2 recoveries , things are looking good

If you always wait for the next best thing you'll never be happy, because as soon as you buy one phone something better will come along soon after. Stick to the LTE.

i want a new phone =(
Now that the galaxy s3 has been announced, and dropping this month on 5 us carriers. they tell us it has been downgraded to a dual core processor in the us. what devs plan on upgrading to this phone still?

Is ours getting the downgraded processor or is this still just a rumor? If so, that sucks ass. I plan on getting it though.

This has been announced. We will get a dual core 1.5ghz.

Yes we will be getting dual cores. But the qualcomm S4 is like ridiculously fast. And compared to the quad phones it really shows no substantial difference besides RAW power. Graphics, are identical, their was a review on the verge that shows they are very similar in the One S and One X.
Pre orders start June 6 for Verizon.

Okay. ****. The hype bug finally bit me.
Damnit.
Do I NEED a phone? Probably not. Is this upgrade I've been holding on to for 5 months now burning a hole in my pocket? OH YEAH.
The S4 is damn good and better on battery than the Exynos in all likelihood. The 2GB of RAM is a bigger upgrade than 2 more cores would be IMO.

It is nice, but the exynos is very efficient because of the small die

Is that really that much faster than the 1.2 dual core in the Nexus? I really was saving my update for the S3 but if the Nexus drops to a good price may go that route.

Benchmarks based on reference design: http://www.anandtech.com/show/5559/...mance-preview-msm8960-adreno-225-benchmarks/2
Choice quotes:
Krait and the MSM8960 are 20 - 35% faster than the dual-core Cortex A9s used in Samsung's Galaxy Nexus.

If you want to abstract by one more level: Krait will be faster regardless of application, regardless of usage model. You're looking at a generational gap in architecture here, not simply a clock bump.

Occasionally we'll see performance numbers that just make us laugh at their absurdity. Krait's Linpack performance is no exception. The performance advantage here is insane. The MSM8960 is able to deliver more than twice the performance of any currently shipping SoC. The gains are likely due in no small part to improvements in Krait's cache/memory controller. Krait can also issue multi-issue FP instructions, A9 class architectures can apparenty only dual-issue integer instructions.

agreed, don't let the "moar corez is bettar" bug bite you.......anyone remember Pentium 4 cpu's clock for clock when AMD released their couterparts? I do. Architecture is where it's at. How much gets done per clock matters far more than how many "ticks" you can go through.
Hmm, for every day tasks (multitasking between apps, browsing web, checking XDA, and the occasional angry birds) I don't see why the dual core with a whopping 2 gigs of ram (bump from the 1 gig the int. phones have) is any thing to complain about. Not like I'm doing complex and processor taxing things on the phone. I'm hoping for great things from this phone and am planning on picking one up day one. Quad core / dual core .... It's just a phone. I'll go to my desktop if I really need to... Lol

Finally us cellular gets in the game! Good to see, I will definitely be getting this phone seeing that I use it as a media player and it has the wolfson chip that supercurio can develop on. S2 disappoints me. Processor won't matter so much to me as I'm not depending on it to do any of my heavy lifting like my pc, so long as its dual core I'll be happy. More ram is definitely a plus. Needless to say I will be seeing many of you in those forums soon enough, doubt it will be launch day though.

A direct GNex vs S3 comparision. This is using the quad core but should be at least close.

You don't need it to end. Usually after about 20 months you can upgrade

mine is up in September so techniqually i can upgrade already if i ask? and how would i go about pre ordering the sgs3 would i need to use my upgrade or pay retail?
Just pre-ordered the 32GB this morning..

Preordered my blue 16gb SGS3. I was just wondering why people would choose to get the 32gb one over the 16gb when there is an external microSD slot?

I understand that, but you can just stick your microSD that you used on Fascinate which costs nothing... I don't know I just hope the less storage space doesn't hinder any development path.
