selling mt3gs what to get next?

so i wanna sell my phone
but whats the next best thing... galaxy s? what is everybody else gravitating to?
so many phones to choose from

I love my Vibrant....just remember the G2 is hardware locked for rooting. There are some sweet roms for the Vibrant. And if you're hot for Froyo....there's a rom for that. The main issue is the Gps still has a few kinks to be worked out....other than that you'd have to pry it from my cold dead hands.

I would and am waiting to see what is offered during Q1 of 2011... G2 may be "locked" but it's not hardware, besides the Vibrant still hasn't seen a stable 1.4GHz OC.

Has anyone confirmed if the G2 will not be root'able? I was just informed I may get this as an early present...

It hasn't been confirmed that it will remain unrootable. Last thing I read cyanogen and crew were working on it and have said it will be difficult but they will find a way just like they have with other pita phones like ours.

Yeah I just checked the HTC Vision dev forums and they already have a one-click temp root, so I imagine a full root wouldn't be far off.

Why are you selling it?its a bad ass phone. My wife has 1 and she loves hers. 2.2 update will be soon on it so anything you get today or tomorrow will have 2.2 on it. What's the point? The mts3g is still a new phone. Wait a bit. You might find something ultimate after the new year. 2011 is the year for 4g and its products.

well its all old technology, old processor that cant do flash, no hd screen...
it is a cool phone and hopefully 2.2 sense comes out and it will be good for a bit, but the newer 4g, hd phones are the way to go in my opinion.

Selling my Epic to my brother as soon as it releases. He hates phones without keyboards so I am selling him my mint Epic for cheap in exchange for his upgrade eligibility.
Finally get to own a Nexus. I'm pumped!

I really want this phone. I was hoping they would add a MicroSD slot. That may be a deal breaker for me....

If this phone had 32 gig internally instead of 16 gig, then I could live without the MicroSD slot....

are the drivers any better on this phone ?
or are all samsungs drivers stupid ?

Exact copy of the GSM Nexus S except for the CDMA/EVDO/WIMAX
Fromg the google blog:
It features a 4” Contour Display designed to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand and along the side of your face. It also features a 1GHz Hummingbird processor, front and rear facing cameras, 16GB of internal memory, and NFC (near field communication) hardware that lets you read information from everyday objects that have NFC tags.
In addition, today we’re excited to announce that Sprint customers will soon be able to take advantage of the full set of Google Voice features without changing or porting their number.

Because its a Google supported phone / Google dev phone. All software comes 100% from Google directly. Samsung doesn't touch the software. It will get almost all future updates until the hardware cant handle the software. The Nexus One, which is pretty damn old now, just recently got official Gingerbread, and will likely get Ice Cream.

Yea but what he meant is...
Thanks to the hardware similarities we wont be far behind them in updates so why pay all that money for basically the same phone w/o a keyboard when all these Beastly phones are about to be released it would be a waste to get hardware that is outdated by the time its even for sale 8)

I personally hate physical keyboards now. Mine is just wasted, unused bulk.
True Google software is worth it for me. Dual core CPU's aren't even close to being utilized in smartphones yet anyway. Not until apps/software are written to support them.
The Hummingbird can still hold its own.

Xperia Play

Hi, I was just wondering about this phone. In thinking of getting it because of its gaming pad, but is it as good as its made out to be? Also, the phone in general, good and bad things and whether or not you like it. Literally everything
Thanks!

I bought one on saturday from Phones4U £130, there are a few games free for it -Dead Space, sims3 , battlefield- the pad makes it a joy to use, I did have a desire,and chunky fingers meant using the touch screen for gaming was awkward. Although there is some bloatware that cant be removed this phone has been an excellent purchase for that price it runs all the usual Android apps,build quality is ok and you will need a bigger memory card -8GB isnt enough IMO- I havent used the music player yet so I cant comment on that side(despite having 300+ songs on it) best get to a shop and try it

Cool, thanks. The fact that ICS is virtually confirmed makes me want it more

Anyone you talk to who has this phone will tell you how much they love it. The emulator capabilities alone are worth the phone. Having a phone that acts portable PS1/SNES/NES/Genesis/GBA WITH the gamepad...c'mon it doesn't get any better than that!

Best gaming phone to date. One if the best phones ever

Best Phone Ever

Sent from my GT-I5500 using Tapatalk

You certainly have, I only wanted a new phone and this is easily the best value out there at the £120 (don't forget the £10 christmas day credit that's included). Another £8-£9 for a dock and it's just about perfect. All this before you get to it being a nifty games machine too!
I came from an iPhone and couldn't be happier.

Know where I can get it for less than £150 on tmobile? That's the cheapest I've seen it
Sent from my GT-I5500 using Tapatalk

yeah this phone is awesome! sometimes i wish it was dual core but its so fast who cares!

Yeah, I got spoiled by the game pad quick. I can finally play shadow gun and nova the way it was meant to be because it's so much easier to move, look and shoot at the same time now.
Plus being able to play all my childhood games on snes and n64.
This phone really is a one stop shop. Watch movies, read books, web surf, play games...the best phone I've ever owned.
My next phone will definitely have to have a built in game pad.

[Q] Information about buying a UK Nexus 10

Hi all, I just wanted to know if I buy the 32gb nexus from google play store it is the full uk version becuase the price is way higher on ebay-amazon etc for a uk version, is there a reason why google play is so much cheaper? Also i just came from a Onda v972 which suffered from bad firmware and lag/force closes, is the nexus nice and smooth and reasonably error free most of the time and fast? Thanks for the possible help guys

No. Google are selling faulty products hence why they are so cheap. And again, no, google are not choosing to update their own tablets. It's about as smooth as sand paper.
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk 2

Google Play store prices are almost always the cheapest for Nexus devices. Amazon and the like are using the fact that the 32gb model is always out of stock to push up the prices.
It's a pretty stable product - I've kept away from modding mine (yet!) and have had only one time when I had to reboot it -got stuck trying to change a lockscreen widget. Worked on the second attempt.

Thanks a lot for the reply, i was just wondering why amazon and ebay still sell them so high when stocks are building up in google play. I have seen some great benchmark videos but had soooo much trouble with the so called "powerfull" onda that I wondered if any tab is quick enough.

Can't compare it to other tabs but it makes my Galaxy Nexus look really slow and that's overclocked with custom rom and kernel.

Just received mine today. Delivery was super quick (2 days). I don't know why anyone would buy one from elsewhere except if they get some kind of discount. Great piece of kit. Rooted it and installed Paranoid Android on it already. Works great! Enjoy your new purchase!

[Q] LG optimus g vs Nexus 4! or nvidia sheild 0_0

hi i didnt find answer in forums sorry
optimus g or nexus 4 or project sheild?
everything was fine i were goign to buy the nexus ...
but i saw this it also has mroe storage shoudl i get nexus 4 or...?
i care so much about screen and do gaming (no prob whit buttons)
i dont have song and take my pics to cloud i maybe have videos in my device (at msot only 1 1080p other 320p or..
ofc i will have n.o.v.a and others....!
and i'm becoming an andorid developer ! \cheer!/ (im only 13years btw!)
or maybe project sheild? i think its only good for gaming!
if u can tell me which phone is better for what usage!

or if wroth pay 2399$ for s4 n4 is 1614 and optimus g is 1700$ not much diffrent from n4 and OG

No point comparing the Shield to any phone... the Shield is just a gaming device that happens to run Android.
In fact, you can simply plug an Xbox 360 controller into an Android phone or tablet, provided the phone/tablet supports USB-on-the-go, and you pretty much have the Shield already. If the phone/tablet doesn't support USB-on-the-go, a PS3 controller connected via Bluetooth works too.
I would recommend the Nexus 4 over the Optimus G if price is a concern. But if money is no object, then get neither - go for a HTC One!
Btw, are those prices in USD? The black market must be really prospering in the face of those sanctions O_O.

Its your money and your purchase. If you wanna ask for a recommendation, I'd say go for the g1. Because its awesome. But between n4 and og , I'd take the n4 any day.
