Captivate to Atrix...Should I do it?

My sister will give me her upgrade if I give her my Captivate. I use Cog 4 currently and I am happy with the device except gps.
If anyone jumped from Captivate to Atrix, what are your thoughts.
I'm also debating on just waiting for GS2 for AT&T.

I also have a Captivate running Cognition and I prefer the Atrix in every way.

try the official froyo update, from what i have read the gps works.
if it doesn't and it's important to you then get the atrix.
otherwise keep your cappy and wait for the galaxy S 2 or something else

I'm in the same boat, and from what I've been reading in these forums, people don't seem all that incredibly happy with the Atrix. I'm planning on waiting for the Galaxy S 2 myself. I don't know if I can deal with a non-SAMOLED screen now that I've had one!

I have the Atrix and the Captivate. I am happier with my Captivate than with my Atrix. Although I do like the power the Atrix has but I prefer the media support for the Captivate and I prefer Amoleds to the Atrix's display. Download speeds are disappointing too, considering it's supposed to be 4g. The Captivate gets faster speedtest results. Atrix's Hd video playback for mkv files is really choppy and embarrasing for a dual core phone. My recommendation would be to hold out for the S2. Quadrant scores aren't that impressive considering a single core Nexus S is on par with the Atrix. Quadrant Score for Atrix is in the 2500s where as the Nexus S was in the low 2000s untouched. I'm trying to give the Atrix a fair trial, but for now it seems as though it will be returned. I'll be waiting for the S2 or the Infuse.

Im returning my atrix. Im running serendipity 5.11 on my cap and I noticed that motoblur is far slower than my cap, I use launcher pro also. I don't care about the screen (its a phone and its plenty crisp an image, I have a laptop and a desktop for quality.)
I didn't test the gps. I thought the camera over all wasn't as good as the cap, but thays probably a software issue not hardware. Though its disappointing that companies (samsung included) release these phone and advertise and price them as the next best thing while including hardware, I.e. camera sensor, That has been around for a while already and is subpar to some phone that are a year old already.
It obvioulsy performs tasks quicker than the captivate because of the dual core, but I don't see the benefits yet, I can wait.
I will wait until there are hacks if I really want it but for now the price att wants does not support the benefits. The real reason to get one is the dock and they've made that so expensive and trying to call it tethering using the dock when its all phone is dumb. I was told buy my friends at att tell me I can't keep my unlimited and add tethering either.(edit, clarify, I can't add tethering if I want to keep my unlimited plan, its one or the other)
Over all, im not impressed. But im sure it will get better with updates. Im gonna stick it out for a while with the cap and see what happens. I may give the new htc one a go first, its not faster than the cap, but its got a bigger screen and camera sensor so....

See the GPS thread. THE ATRIX GPS WORKS!
Cappy doesn't. Atrix does.
Yeah, it really is that simple. Cappy is a little slimmer and lighter and has a nice bright screen--but who cares if the GPS will never work? And after two or three bogus fixes were issued and announced...who wants to wait and see?
And for the first time in all these years...a phone I've bought HAS A MESSAGE LIGHT! I can't tell you how nice a litle perq that is. Cappy doesn't have it.
Now, if they'd only put in a hole for a tether cord, because I'm often in places where a phone really doesn't want to get dropped.
Cappy gone. Hello Moto.

I have had 3 Captivates since they were released, and now I have an Atrix and Nexus One. Guess what, the Atrix is the best of all those. The Captivate is simply a garbage device, no way around it. No LED flash, no front facing camera, no LED notification, garbage GPS, slower, comes with trash TouchWiz, etc.

While I loved my Captivate, I must agree with you. Even with the best custom ROM for GPS (Paragon 6), GPS is hit or miss. Side by side, my wife's iPhone 4 and my Samsung Focus get a GPS lock much faster than the Captivate in difficult situations (indoors, cloudy day etc). I hope that the Atrix is better at this.
Another issue with the Captivate was battery life, which I hope the Atrix will be better at. Cheers.

The gps with Cog 4 is so much better than it has ever been since the Captivate came out. It locks on pretty quick and it's pretty accurate on location as well. My gps never worked until now.

Yep. Regardless of ROM, my GPS on every Captivate I have owned has been entirely broken. 10+ minutes in an open parking lot, no signal lock. Atrix locks in my car in 5 seconds.

I made the same change from the Captivate to Atrix. Overall I've had a good experience with the Atrix. My biggest complaint at this point is Moto Blur. It's just crap. IF you decide to get the Atrix just be prepared for the different screen. The Amoled screen is better than the screen on the Atrix. I do miss that a little bit. But then I dock it on the Lapdock and forget all about it

I got an atrix on day one on day two i boxed it back up am taking it back monday. After samoled i cold not take that screen. It was simply horrible to me. I am going to wait to see what samsung, htc, and apple bring out this summer.

Atrix is wonderful
Atrix is a wonderful experience, especially compared to the Captivate which was horrible, especially after loading in all of my apps the Captivate just froze with everything....the Atrix flies! Get Launcher Pro and forget Motoblur, it sucks.

I thought about it. I work for the Shack an get a pretty good discount on the atrix but I am simply in love with my captivate. Love the amoled. Love the huge selection of custom roms. The phone is extremely snappy running paragon. I am just 100% satisfied with the captivate.

What about someone coming from a uk dhd, nexus s.... then a telus dhd.... my current desire hd, having hspa.... is great IMO, battery life could be better, but I have an extra battery...
Oh well, it will be here in 10 days, I guess that will decide all... but it is going to have to be great.... to make me ditch my dhd running cm7!

I'm torn in this decision too. I currently have a Nexus One and a Captivate. I was really thinking of selling the Captivate and getting either the Inspire or the Atrix. I messed around with both for about an hour and can honestly say I was a little let down by the Atrix. I really want to like this phone but I personally think the screen compared to the Captivate is just plain dull. Yeah, it has a higher res screen and I can appreciate that. BUT, the colors on the SAMOLED have spoiled me. I don't know what to do. The performance with a live wallpaper on my friend's Atrix was, frankly, pretty dang lousy for a phone that everyone has been raving about in terms of its speed. With a regular wallpaper the phone is certainly faster but it still didn't just blow me away. Also, the plastic build materials left a sour taste. Again, I really want to like this phone. I guess I'll check it out again and maybe have a change of heart. Anyone else think the way I do as far as the screen?

Anybody switched from or to Infuse from Atrix?

I'm coming from Captivate and just got my hands on Atrix and first thing which I noticed how washed out colors looks like on Atrix. It appears like somebody added 3 screen protectors on top of Amoled screen the way Atrix screen looks compared to Captivate.
Another thing I'm trying to figure out is according to some links there is different speeds for 4G on Infuse and 4G on Atrix. According to URL below it's looks like Infuse 2x faster on 4G then Atrix.
http://www.phonearena.com/phones/compare/Samsung-Infuse-4G,Motorola-ATRIX-4G/phones/5119,4982
Secondly it appears both front and back cameras are better on Infuse which matters for me.
So wondering if somebody made a switch from Atrix to Infuse and found those things are true and were worth switching over?

Here we go again ...

I own all three Atrix infuse and inspire. I'd just have to clear this one up. The Atrix and inspire both speedtest at the same speed. The is is fairly fast on the infuse and screen is nice on it too. But when trying to load heavier apps on the infuse its a hair slower than the Atrix.(stock)
I must say the infuse has a quieter speaker phone.... no all audio levels are lower than my Atrix but the camera is better on the infuse. Video is about the same.
Conclusions ..... I'd say infuse if your more into media(video type for the screen) and audio wasn't as good on loud speaker but headphones sounds fantastic when in call or music.
1:camera
2:screen
3:form factor vs Atrix
But it does lose to Atrix on these things...
1:loud speaker
2:resolution
3:battery life (as I can make longer than 6 hours on Bluetooth call while webbrowsing and text mms also while still having juice left.) (I talk to my twin about 4-7 hours a night recently at work without charging till I go to bed all on Bluetooth.)
4:CPU power

Troll....

Try and ignore the trolls on the forums that can't handle questions...
One thing to consider with the Atrix is that it's a Tegra 2 device. If you care about some of the higher end games at all, you'll want the Tegra 2 over the single core 1Ghz on the Infuse as games are made specifically for Tegra and even with Chainfire won't run as well as say the dual core on the Galaxy S II.
The dual core itself, while not properly optimized, is in raw specs better than having the single core. Perhaps it won't be noticeable if you don't run many things at once though, so consider that if you like the shape or colors or something else on the Infuse a lot more.
I've dabbled in some photography stuff myself so I know what you mean when you say you want a better camera. If it appears that the Infuse has a better camera not just in pixel count but also in actual quality in demo shots, and that really is a strong factor for you, then you should definitely consider that. Neither the Infuse nor Atrix will really get to use the front camera right (in Google Talk, Skype, etc) until the Gingerbread update. We know that the Atrix should be getting its GB update quite soon, so you should consider that.
I'm not familiar with much about the Infuse as I've only played with it once at a store and decided it was a bit too big for me to want to use. You really should consider that factor as well, as though it may seem ok in the store, after using it for a week you may realise that it's a hassle. Also, the Infuse battery is smaller than the Atrix's.
Basically, what I'm saying is look at all the factors and decide what you think would be best for you. Colors will not matter much if the phone is slow running what you want to run on it, but speed won't matter as much if you want photos that look better, eh?
If you can handle waiting, I would wait for the Galaxy S II variant on AT&T to be released so you can compare that with the Atrix. It's a very strong competitor that would be definitely superior to the Infuse.

Nobody mentioned 4G data speed specs mentioned in first link. According to those specs Infuse is 2x faster then Atrix. What do you make out of that?

Haven't switched, but I've had Atrix just about since it came out. Wife got the Infuse. She loves it, except can't find a case she likes because its so freaking big.
If you want a tablet and not as much kick ass capability as the Atrix. Then Infuse is for you.

Then take your sorry ass somewhere else.

I have the Atrix with Gingerblur and both my sisters have the Infuse @ stock.
Atrix is not all that much worse than the Infuse, they are about on par when talking about colors. I give the Infuse a 10/10 and I give the Atrix about a 9/10 from all the smart phones I've used so far in terms of clarity. Atrix has about the same Clarity as my Dad's iPhone 4. Infuse just noticeably has bigger icons because of the superior resolution of the Atrix. Most things load faster on the Atrix. Infuse has the superior camera, but Atrix's camera is no slouch. You also can't go wrong with the Atrix's battery life span.
That being said, I had to go through two Atrix's before the third one was working properly in a span of 4 days. One of my Sister's phone's Camera died on her after the third day, but she got a replacement. Both of our phones have been working properly since the replacements.
Tegra is great and I've been playing Apps since day one. All games seem to run smoothly.

And to the OP, there are a hundred posts on Atrix vs. Blah blah phone, specs for blah vs. Atrix, I'm a troll this phone sucks vs. my blah blah phone, please search more thoroughly. No matter what the speed says on paper it won't go any faster than what Atts hspa+ will allow which is supposedly 6 mbps, Att hasn't launched LTE yet. The point of this phone is its tegra hardware and unique webtop ability. A screen is your preference, you don't like the colors, resolution, size, ect., get something else.

Have both. Not switching to or from, about the only thing i switch to and from would be my SIM, between my HTC Desire HDs, neXus S, InFuSe, Atrix and soon to be SGS II. Unfortunately the InFuse has less going on then the Atrix, which would make sense because its a couple months newer. I just love playin AB with that big-n-sexxxy 4.5" Super AMOLED Plus display. I even donated my 2nd InFuSe to an up and coming DEV about a month ago and nothin is happenin over in that neck of the woods...

I had an infuse for about two weeks, ran infused on it. Was a great phone. I returned the infuse for the atrix due to a few factors. Samsung will most likely not support the phone long due to sgs2. May or may not be true. I also have fell in love with the atrix, due to fingerprint reader, screen is nice once you havnt looked at the extream saturation on the samoled+. The way I see it the atrix is a little bit more future proof. If you have any questions pm me. I am on my phone right now otherwise I would elaborate some more.

i have both .. my main draw tho is to the infuse because of display quality and the battery life i get from it ... i can get about 12 more hours out of it then my atrix ...
i do like the atrix ... esp the fingerprint scanner ... so convenient ... but i have always preferred a phone with a larger screen size since i use mine more for a web device then just a phone (yeah i know the atrix has a dock but that isn't something you just toss in your pocket.)

Screen Comparison - LG G2x vs Samsung Vibrant

I am getting tired of waiting for a new phone, and am interested in getting the LG G2x. I understand it has its issues, but im willing to give it a shot, plus i will be putting CM7 on, which I believe fixes some of the said issues.
But my question is, how is the display (screen) of the LG in comparison to the Super Amoled of the Vibrant.
Is the Vibrant Significantly better? are they similar?
Any input would be appreciated.
Regards,

i have had both. vibrant and g2x. im going to go stick to my vibrant.

Its a good phone but no worth the upgrade it still has 512 ram like vibrant so not an real upgrade an android doesn't utilize 2 cores yet an screen is down grade really wait another 3 to 6 months 4 a phone

Us Galaxy S users have gotten spoiled by the AMOLED screen, I could never use another device that didn't have one, I even find the screen on the iPhone 4 to be lacking, but thats personal opinion.
As for upgrading to the G2x, save your cash and upgrade, my mother has one, basically no difference from the vibrant, except the lack of the AMOLED, which is the first thing you notice.

I was going to ask about the gps. I am really getting tired of not having a phone with a gps that I can trust to take me to my destination. I had the G1 and the HD2 and could trust both of those phones to take me to ther right place and not lose the signal 10 times on the way.

Working GPS doesn't mean a whole lot if the phone reboots or hard freezes to the point of requiring a battery pull at least 5 times a day.
I went through FOUR G2x's in a month and each and every one of them had the same problems...
I tried all of these:
Stock
Stock with absolutely no apps installed except for what came from the factory.
Stock with root
Stock with root , again with nothing but what came from the factory and superuser.
Custom ROM with root
CM7 with root
Under ALL of those conditions it had the same problems.
They should have named it the LG Crash-o-matic.
I'll take my Vibrant any day of the week over it.
By the way - don't let the "speed" fool you - they actually sped up the speed of the animations to make it look like it was faster.

actually my gps works fine (well as good as a vibrant can be expected to. on cm7 and i bought my vib on release date), since you didn't pick up on the obvious sarcasm....

I just got a G2x a few days ago and updated to official Gingerbread right away. So far, I have not experienced a single freeze or reboot. The GPS locks almost right away. I came from the Samsung Mesmerize (Galaxy S, SCH-I500) which had a TERRIBLE GPS.
As for the screen, the Mes may have been a little better but honestly the G2X still has a fantastic screen, one of the better ones. It's an IPS LCD just like the iPhone 4.
And the phone is FAST.

Umm, really? The Vibrant is a wonderful phone, but it's not nearly as powerful as the G2X. OP: Go to your local t-mobile store and compare the two side by side for yourself. That's the only way you'll know. But as others have said, unless you're going to another Samsung device, prepare to get a crummier screen.
I love everything about my new sensation, but I really miss SAMOLED.

Playing with the phone at the store and having one in your possession for more than just a few minutes are two TOTALLY different things... Sure, it may have a 1000 horsepower engine, but when it's running with only 1 quart of oil when it's supposed to have 4 or 5, things aren't going to run right.
The phone may be powerful, but it's a piece of junk when you get right down to it.

Yeah the screen on both phones are great, but why sacrifice a small screen difference for stock gingerbread, raw power (tegra 2 dual core) and a better camera, capable of 1080p. The gingerbread update fixed almost every single problem. The phone just flies. Yes our phones are great and I love the vibrant, but if you're looking for a powerhouse update soon, I'd go for the g2x

Cheers to this. It's weird seeing less activity these days due to people upgrading. I've learned a lot here in just one year of joining XDA.

This phone was awesome, I still have it laying around next to my computer, with WarmTwoPointThree, but this Rezound is such a perfect thing to upgrade to. It's nice to see a phone grow up like this, whereas with the inc, I started lurking here back when Sense 3.0 was going around, and the biggest thing. ICS Sense is awesome guys, just saying
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium

Yeah, everyone here has been really helpful. But I'm starting to see other forums here develop similarly as their phones are rooted.
I was lucky that by the time I rooted my AMOLED DInc (a year after getting it), there was already a strong community here to help me through.
But perhaps the most important lesson I learned is that, while HTC hardware is nice, I don't really like Sense (especially now that I've been running CM7 for a year now). If HTC introduces an HD phone with a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 chipset, I'll be all over it. If it's a different vendor, then they will get my money. You see, now that I see how easy it is to customize a phone after it's gotten rooted, I really don't care too much about who made it.
And if I don't like any of the phones announced at MWC, I'll probably pick up an LG Spectrum and see what I can do with it...
Sent from my AMOLED DInc using XDA App

i think im going to keep this phone till it dies. its the perfect size. i get great battery life and will all the development that has gone into it. It might not be supported but the great devs out there but it still lives on.

I'm so glad I went with the Incredible (although late). The only gripe is I use the 3500 extended battery and wished I didn't have to, as it does give it a bulky look.
But like they say, it's what's on the inside that counts right?
I notice I have been keeping tabs on the so-called HTC Edge/Endeavor that is supposed to be revealed next month.

Definitely a great community for help, and also some of the best dev's are here. I bought a Fascinate (for a semi-upgrade), and the community is lacking there. Sadly, I think I'll be parting the Incredible, for an upgrade to GN or Rezound.
If only HTC decided to make another Incredible with Rezound specs, and 4" 720p display with ICS/4G

A 4" screen is the most ideal IMO. I have no qualms with watching movies on the 3.7", but as I matured with the phone I guess I should step up in size as my video viewing has increased immensely.
A 4.7-ish" screen sounds scary but I'm sure I can adapt.

I finally went to see the nexus at my local Verizon last night and wow...compared to the inc screen, it is kinda big. I do want to get it for ICS, 4G, font facing camera, etc. but I don't really need a screen that big (that's how I feel), I guess I’m going to wait a bit longer to see what's coming out in the next few months. Plus, I hate the fact that after being a vz customer for a long time, the phone upgrade price is higher than a new customer price. (I saw new customer price on amazon.com for $99), why don't they have incentives for users to stay with the same company.
Also, I wish there was a doc or something listing the devs/themes/testers/etc. of the inc and where they are now in terms of dev/themes/etc, which phones they have moved on to....sometimes it would make switching a bit easier.
PS --- I love the droid incredible.

I finally went to see the nexus at my local Verizon last night and wow...compared to the inc screen, it is kinda big. I do want to get it for ICS, 4G, font facing camera, etc. but I don't really need a screen that big (that's how I feel), I guess I’m going to wait a bit longer to see what's coming out in the next few months.

Exactly the same way I feel about the GN. The screen is too big, I wish it was like 4.3". That's my limiting point. 4.0" would be ideal, and add that with 720p resolution, that would be a dream come true. You have a high PPI, not to mention, smaller screen = lower battery consumption (compared to a bigger screen). I'm due for an upgrade next week, and I'm leaning towards the Rezound. I just wish that phone was thinner!

The GN is really only a 4.3" viewable area. Its just that they have on screen buttons that take up that extra .35" but yeah it goes seem huge. Rezound feels nice, so does the Razr. MAXX. And the battery on that thing is 3300mah!!!!!! Holy Cow!

I miss the incredible community. I upgraded to the rezound, and though there are many familiar faces from here, it is not the same. Newtoroot, Nils,and Bored are all there with new Roms, but some of the other members are alot more rude, and hostile than here. I was just cruising through memory lane. This post got my attention, and just wanted to say you are right on the money. This forum is a great place, and I wish we could all upgrade to the same phone at the same time. Peace.....

I was able to pick up my dream phone (Weird how much we value these things now, isn't it?) August of last year after 4 months of research and another 4 of hunting one down. I found mine minty fresh used amOLED for $150 outright and never looked back.
1900mAh battery in stock back casing, Seidio Active Case, and Steinheil Ultra Clear screen protector.
So what does that give me? A small, quick phone with battery life up to 3 days, internet, maps (my favorite), and friends just a click away. There isn't a device made today that can touch us, which is why our Devs have gone so far.
Thank you everyone, now let's make it to the next course of dessert, shall we?

If it weren't for the Incredible, I wouldn't be set on an AMOLED screen for my next device. It is astounding how amazing it still looks even next to some of the latest devices!
I don't care what anyone says, I'm hoping to dive into a Nokia Windows phone next. Specifically, if some of the kinks are worked out and a couple more functions are added by the time June comes around, you better believe I'll be hitting tiles and text and shooting with a Carl Zeiss lens! UberMusic on my Dinc is just making the desire even more intense.

WP7 does look fairly cool and the features aren't much different from Android. You wouldn't lose much in regards to functions which is great. I have UberMusic as well and love the WP7 theme for it.

^ This. I've had my upgrade available for a while. The newer phones generally get worse battery life vs dINC with mods- and I'm also not a big fan of the super large screens. I easily lasted the day with stock, but I put on the 2150 just to make sure I never had to worry, so while my buddies with the samsung galaxy nexus and moto razr go to plug theirs in at work I'm not even worried.
There's huge amounts of development here, people are awesome (unlike some forums I've visited ), and there's nothing on my phone that I feel needs an upgrade. 3G speeds can stream HD youtube, web surf and stream internet radio flawless so I'm all set until this baby dies or there's some god-like phone that comes out.

This has been a great community, I like many others have moved on to other phones. It is still a great back up phone so it is nice to pop back in here to keep up to date on new mod and roms.

What's your motivation towards upgrading to Galaxy SIII

I believe many of you have come from galaxy SII or any other high end devices. I've had galaxy SII for 6 months and now I have to decide whether buy a galaxy SIII or not.I know S3 is much more powerful but seems to lack to present real new features. I doubt Whether it's worthy to upgrade or not. I would like to hear your opinion, however I appreciate sincere answers not only some radical misjudges.

I have the Epic Touch on Sprint (GS2), and I preordered. However, the more reviews I saw and sample photos and the like, I couldn't see that it was worth the upgrade and a new 2-year jail sentence with Sprint. I cancelled my preorder and will stay with the Epic Touch, which I'm very pleased with.

I'll say why I upgraded from my SGS2 which I loved, bigger is better. Wanted a bigger screen but not to sacrifice pocketability, so 4.7 or 4.8 was the ideal size next compared to the GNote.
I'm a sucker for new technology so quad core performance.
I went with the HOX to have a change. Also got the sgs3 to test so will say why I think it's a a good upgrade.
Bigger HD screen. Once you go HD you'll love it.
Notification light very useful from my BlackBerry days for multiple events.
Wolfson DAC s2 sound quality wasn't the best so having a Wolfson back is a pleasant move and if supercurio brings voodoo sound it'll be even better.
Better camera.
Quad core, it's fast but the sgs2 is no slouch either. Nothing maximises quad yet.
New Touchwiz slightly better than the previous version but not a sole reason to upgrade.
Smart stay is useful in certain situations.
It's an upgrade but not a huge upgrade. I still think if your happy with the sgs2 then no need to upgrade best to wait for prices to drop then make the move and any initial issues to be sorted out. My one has the yellow tint.

Have a high end device that I will own for a few years!
It will have lots of modders, so it will stay updated through the times
Just like the First galaxy S series has

My Galaxy Nexus is like 8 months old, and looks about 5 years old the paint is mullered, the metal round camera is scuffed basically it looks ****ed.
My S2 never looked like that even after 18 months.

I have been out of contract for about four months, rocking a Thunderbolt, and I was just bored to tears with it. I've done all the ROM's and just wanted to move on.
I really considered dumping VZ, but it's hard to walk away from that damn network lol. I didn't see any other phone coming soon that interested me, including the HOX. I need sd card and removable battery, otherwise I'd be using an iphone.

Great specs need something else to play with as my nexus is phasing out.
This is not just a phone - Galaxy Nexus

I've been on an Epic 4G (Sprint's original Galaxy S) since it's launch. It's feeling quite dated even though CM9 has given it some new life. It was between the SGSIII or the HTC EVO LTE (One X). The non-removable battery on the HTC made my decision pretty easy.

I'm still more than happy with my sgs2, I won't be upgrading yet, this will do till the sgs4 - a real upgrade

Maybe you did the best thing.I really would love have the best one in the market but, there should be some really noticeable advantages to pay for it.

Yep you're right too.The screen is bigger but just about 0.5 inch. I haven't had SGS3 in my hand but I've played with my friend's HOX and have to say SGS2 screen is still one of the best.even more,I found the HOX a laggy device in contrast to SGS2.

About having the high end device i have to disagree with you.it only takes 6 months to find a new monster in the market.but I think you're right about the modders. For know my only motivation is migration of great devs like gokhanmoral to SGS3.

The software on my current phone is a disaster with no ics upgrade till the end of the year and there is very little developer support.

I loved T-mobile's Galaxy s2, so the s3 was a must have.

I have a HTC Aria, its 2 years old only has 3G on it, iPhone size screen. I'm ready to upgrade. The battery life of the S3, doubles mine, the 2GB ram quadruples mine, and the processor well lets just not compare those.

Haha had an aria as well for a year then got an inspire... I thought I was making a huge jump
"All this knowledge is giving me a major brainer!"

My first Droid (coming from iPhone 3Gs) is this Thrill 4G. I went by specs and the 3D feature. Everyone said it was a gimmick, but I liked it and it will be the only thing I will miss about it.
Anyway, it turned out to be a real dog. Nothing but issues with my music (especially playlists), missed calls that it doesn't tell me about but I get the messages, slow camera and I could go on. I have restored it, rooted it, tweaked it and I am sick of it.
Two of my friends have GS2s and they have always been so much better and faster. So much more support. So much prettier, snappier, better pictures. But I waited. I waited for the successor. Now it is coming to the U.S. and I can finally trump my buddies! MUHAHAHAH!!! Then one of them ordered the GS3 also, but I'll have mine first! Maybe. Depends on the Judge I suppose.
Anyway, that's my story. Excuse me whilst I go back to converting my 3D pics to 2D.

I've had my captivate since late 2010, and though I've had a faster Android experience with the Transformer Prime, I'm ready to experience it in a phone.
Apart from that, I've really wanted LTE for a whole. 3G is just too slow.

I've had an iPhone 3G (9 of them...) for the past 4 years. It's painstakingly slow! You guys don't even know! If i was being chased by a pack of wild tigers I'd probably get mauled before I could call 911 on this crap. Also for me, iOS is very stale and boring now. I want something new and FRESH! I love customizing everything I own and Android will allow me to do just that.
