I'm wondering, What would other Vibrant owners do?
Would you get another vibrant or another phone that is CURRENTLY out.
My contract is up in a month but I'm not renewing. I might stay with tmobile but off contract. I can't wait weeks or months for the next great thing. So if this was you what phone would you get?
I'm considering another, probably used vibrant. Cheapish and I'm familiar with it and liked it a lot.
A Vibrant 4G just for faster speeds. (Speed tested one in my neighborhood and pulled 5mbps, was told it hits as high as 8 on occasion. Regular vibrant pulled 3mbps or less most of the time.)
Or a Nexus S just because it will get upgrades and already has a lot of development.
Or some other phone?
Update 3/4/11: Went with a Nexus S. Samsung makes great Hardware and google handles the software and since I was paying out of pocket I figured the NS would last me a long time.
i'd go with a sgs4g.
um... whatever insurance sent me i guess
If I was getting a replacement off of craigslist, the hd2 is about 75 cheaper most of time. if I had enough cashI'd get a cheapy then get the sgsII when it takes in europe, go to att off contract for the lower rate plan. Yeah...

Personally if I had insurance I would go with the one they sent me as long as it was another Vibrant or a fair upgrade. Otherwise I would go with the 4G. Seems close enough to the Vibrant that developers should be right along with lots of options for it shortly.
Honestly- just buy a cheap phone like the mytouch 3g and use it for a few (3 or 4) months until the sgs2 comes out here.

GTFO NO WAY ! ! ! but You are off topic.
Personally i would get a NS, you could get another vibrant but might as well upgrade. The NS is a good phone esp since it has better development support like you said. And with the current release schedule of Android (purely speculation) i wouldnt be surprised if we started seeing IceCream by mid summer to early fall.

used hd2 runs winmo 6.5/froyo/honeycomb sdk/win7. Can't beat that really. Might I add working gps to boot.
If you could wait a week or two, I'd get an lg optimus 2x. I know you said waiting weeks would not really be viable, but......
Or find a cheap old smartphone to hold you off till lg optimus2x. Like my old mytouch or a blackberry.
I would consider getting the Nexus S, for the update schedule alone. I'll never buy another Samsung phone (because of the software support;exception being the Nexus S). The LG optimus 2x looks good but I'm not sure if it can be rooted easily.
I love my sgs!
I would get a Motorola Defy off of craigslist and start looking at a Honeycomb or Ice-cream phone to upgrade to.
Well I looked at a few but in the end I went with a Nexus S. I love samsungs hardware but don't want to have to deal with slow updates or touchwiz (even though I like a few things about it).
And really I was super tempted to just get another Vibrant since there are some great Vibrant Devs and a lot of great rom's and mods.
Well I have replaced my n1 with an inspire and was wondering what should I do with it? I think its too sexy to sell cause its still in awesome shape. I don't have another line to use it on so I just don't know what to do with it...any ideas?
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium
I think you have the right idea... use it as as back up or simply sell it. You can still make cash off of it especially if it is in that condition, despite the obvious flaws we are all aware the N1 has.
My power button recently completely failed, damn HTC really drops the ball often in QC ranging amongst several of their devices. If it is not two displays (one being worse), it is the eventual failure of the digitizer or the flex cable, que sera... *end mini rant* not hi-jacking here...
Lol I think I may just switch phones every once in a while...the case on my inspire makes the n1 feel so thin

Yes, there is still decent money to be made if your Nexus is in good shape. I sold mine two weeks ago for $250 (which I still think its worth more than, but still). It was hard to say goodbye

after finish my school i work for sometime and feel wanna change new phone..
before this, i use nokia 6021 and only for PTT (push-to-talk) use..
but after my provider that is maxis disable this function,so i'm kinda boring with my handphone..
so,i went to a few phone shop and i don't why i suddenly like this X8 cause of the design and the colour i think
i don't know why i buy it because there a lot of phone that more powerfull and pretty and i still think why i bought it
furthermore,i buy x8 at that time at cost of RM550 (Malaysian money)

My x8 has a funny story actually
I went to shop with my dad and bought a lg optimus one
After 3 days i bricked it(i dont know how)
The optimus went to the repair shop and after a week dad went to take it back.
After that (i think) dad thought the optimus was better than his x8 so it gave me the x8 and he took the optimus
And i dont regret a bit because in my opinion x8 is 10 times better than the stupid optimus
But my dad definetly regrets that now
I wonder how would it be if x8 had 512 mb of ram
PS: my dad doesnt take a good care of his phones so my x8 is the only one(i think) who doesnt have the sony ericsson logo above the screen
Sent from my heart using xperia x8
Dad stopped using his when the speakers blew...slowly i used it as if it were mine and my dad officially handed it too me...now he has a ray with official ics :/...round 2

How I got mine..
Pretty weird question I guess Just writing to get my 10 posts, to be a part of the developer forum.
I was tired of my old school Sony-E mobile, wanted to try out one of the smartphones. I've always been a Sony fan, so the first phone I saw from Sony was X8. I went to the store, bought it and that's it ;-)
it waaaaaasssss cheap!!!! the cheapest phone i could find. Really. 49 euros. That's as cheap as a nokia 1100. Got my old one stolen and was short on dineros, so i've unboxed my "dude yo' so cheap" sonar and went "hunting" (actually, i entered the first shop i've seen).
I really hated the way it looked when i bought it, i was actually playing with a wildfire while the salesman prepared IT and was having second thoughts 'bout if i could wait a couple of weeks (without a phone) or just buy what my pocket could afford at the moment.
Well, I lost my old phone, a Sony Ericsson C510, in fact I think a friend of mine stole it because he was jealous of some stuff and I was phoneless for 2 months or so. Earlier, the X10 had come out and I really liked it but, hey, it was like 500 Euros. So I was like..naaahhhh. Then I saw a commercial of the X8. I thought it was just like the X10 but smaller. So I said "why not" and the day before my birthday (which is Christmas day, BTW), I went to the store and bought it. It was December 2010 then. I joined XDA on March. And I started developing...clocks.
So my ex-friend really had made the greatest present of my life (till now)!
Planning to buy the Nokia C3.
Vodafone call me And offer me two free NEW Xperia 8 phones.
Can't say no.
True Story by the way . Look at my sig
My brother bought a stolen one since i come from a poor family,and we shared it untill he bought his htc wildfire.my girlfriend is rich,and she gave me her old lg p350,and i do developing on her laptop.my story
"My girlfriend once said she hates dubstep.She is single now.Just kiddin .She's dead."
I got it from reading a thing virgin media sent me, it was on special offer on contract, i was gonna get a blackberry, but decided to go for x8.
So i got on the phone, ordered it, and a day later, it arrived. End of.
Well after my k850i Hardbricked, i was on the search for a phone, and after i did a lot of research i started to like android phones, and i found a cheap Sony Ericcson one so i bought it. And now i regret everything.
My previous phone was a Nokia 5233, pretty cool to listen music, but a bit slow
I did not have enough money to buy the X8, so I sold my guitar (a Cort X2, awesome sound for a cheap guitar) and I ordered my X8 by Internet (very, very expensive at local stores ).
The Nokia now is owned by my mom (Mother's Day gift )

I have a newer HTC one s that I've had for a month or two now, I got it on a future shop warranty upgrade as a replacement for my old HTC desire. I am tied into the warranty for another year and a half paying monthly. It was $10 a month on the desire now its $13 a month for the one s cause they consider it a higher end phone than the desire was I guess. Anyways I miss the desire and a few things about it like expandable memory plus money is tight lately so i have been thinking about trying to trade the one s to someone for their older nexus one or similar phone and have them take over the monthly warranty payments. My girlfriend still has the desire and I like the look of the n1 a bit better and would prefer not to have the exact same as her. I also liked the huge selection of roms for the desire/n1 and prefer stock android.
What do you guys think chances of getting a trade, I see some n1 advertised about 2 hours from where I live between $120 and $180. Maybe I could buy one and sell mine but would prefer a trade as things may go much smoother. Thanks for any ideas or advice.

Please rest with your new One S!!
I would change my N1 with that if I had money to spend as-of-now..
Nexus One (such as Desire) have lots of problems, such as Multitouch axis issue, faulty hardware (mobo to replace sometimes), no more official Google support since ICS, etc.
There're a lot of issues here.
Just my 2cents.
Sent from my HTC Nexus One using xda premium
Well I haven't had the multi touch issue and I don't play any games on my phone. I have only run custom roms forever so no real issue with updates. No mobo problems with my old desire, my girlfriends or my friends. Mine had a menu button and home button failure which I think was caused by me sanding the paint off without disassembly. (made mine polished chrome). I have no issues with the one s except I already ran out of space on the internal sd card but I still miss the feel of my old phone even though it may not be quite as fast.
Anyways it looks like I may have made a deal purchasing a nexus one with extra battery, dock and a 16gb card for $115 so I will be selling my one s for enough to cover that and the extended warranty balance plus some.

What are you selling your one s for? And is it unlocked? Have had my nexus one since day one and still love it. But i was maybe looking to buy something new.
Sent from my Nexus One using xda app-developers app
It bootloader unlocked and rooted not carrier unlocked yet but I think I will do that with the tools on here. I'm thinking $400 with the otterbox and one other case, screen protector on it and the 17 months remaining over the counter warranty (only good here in Canada).

You're really crazy to sell your One S and buy N1 ! ! ! !
Don't do that Please ! ! ! !
Sent from my Nexus One using Tapatalk 2
If I was happy with the Desire is their anything much worse about the n1? The dock is a big plus to me, and call quality is probably better than desire because of the dual mics. The one s has dual mics as well and does seem noticeably better than the desire.
I miss my desire and figured the n1 would be pretty comparable. I already sent payment for the n1 anyways and will be advertising my one s locally. I think I got a pretty good deal on it even if it is a bit beat up. Selling the newer one will put me ahead financially.

This Atrix 4G is the worse phone I have ever had up until now (because of a single yet extremely annoying problem, digitizer). The problem with the digitizer was so well-known that I saw almost everyone who owns an Atrix will have it sooner or later. For me, I have to go servicing the digitizer 3 times in 1 year, and now since the warranty has just been over, the next time that it fail, I will immediately throw it to the dust bin
I can't understand why Motorola decided to save $$ on some cheap parts that could eventually cost them more $$ in servicing/replacement, and even more in terms of reputation in a long run. That's why even when I really love Android (and Linux in general), I couldn't deny the fact that Iphone is such a great phone that you don't have to worry about it getting spoilt 1 day so easily like the other Android phone...
I'm not having any problems with either of my 2 atrixes digitizers at all and haven't for 9 months. That's not to say I wont but can I just ask, how hard on the screen are you fellas? How do you care for it, have you overclocked, screen protector, case, kept in pockets with other objects? Just wondering what could be causing the problem cuz I never oc, screen protector from day one, case, rarely in a pocket, but when it is its by itself, keep it clean, don't over flash roms. My phone is not just mine. Its the house phone, mini pc (only really use my laptop when there is something I absolutely can't do on my phone or tablet) my lifeline. I'm just curious.

I always used screen protectors, never dropped it, never overclocked
, no water damage. All did was install cm7 and it was working fine until June when small strips of the screen stopped registering touch.

I've moved on to the Galaxy S III. Passed my Atrix on to my daughter. Never had any hardware issues with the Atrix, and I bought it in Feb of 2011 on the day it was released. No digitizer issues even after numerous hard drops. In fact, I once was using it while running on the treadmill and it fell onto the belt (face down). It traveled the length of the belt and then lodged between the guard and the belt. It lodged so hard that it actually stopped the belt from turning. Cheap rubber case and screen protector were completely destroyed, but absolutely no damage to the phone. So, my experience has been that the Atrix hardware is rock solid! It's still a fantastic phone, and my daughter is loving it. Will be even better with ICS!

I am also leaving the atrix section,just got a htc evo 3d Atrix is a lovely phone,not some beauty queen,but it can do-however-the hardware wise its a peace of ****! The wifi and bluetooth are gone on my second atrix and it is just too much for me+the front camera wont start ever Good luck to all people with this device and goodbye
I also just left atrix, i left because my atrix got stolen and for me i didnt really care cause it had wifi issues and front cam was blurry. My favorite dev was epicenter because of his jb releases. I just bought a tmobile galaxy s3 because tmobile offered me awsome value plan. I have 5 lines so they offered me all the lines have unlimited text, 2 lines have 5gb data 2 lines have unlimited calling and the rest have 500 minutes each and im only paying 140 after tax per month so thats better then atnt cause with atnt i was paying 220 about the same stuff. Plus i got good deal on a galaxy s3 for 350 brand new in box on craigslist. Overall i liked the atrix cause before i had atrix all my other android phones required different bootloaders and defferent recoverys for like different roms or required modifying hboot but on atrix its just flash and go

Got the S3 recently. I loved my Atrix..it was my first Android phone and it just showed me how customizable the OS really is. The phone is so beastly- even bought a few tegra only games in the past to take advantage of the processing power. Babied it like crazy and kept the phone mint up until the day I sold it this week. Wanted to thank all the devs for the how-to's and roms.
I'll keep my Atrix. It's a nice phone, even without ICS.
