Giving it away........

So I've had my evo since it first came out rooted shortly after and been flashing ROMs daily til CM6. And stuck with their nightlies, but I'm ready to move on now. Giving this beauty to my girlfriend, stuck now on which phone to get next. Seriously thinking about getting the Nexus S, but also thinking about verizon's incredible. Not too sure which I'm gonna get. I just wanna know what this beautiful XDA community thinks. Maybe this could've been in another section but oh well. Sue me!

I would not get a phone that can't handle an SD card. The S looks sweet but thats it IMO. I had a Fascinate and I swore I would never get a Samsung device again because of the lack of software updates. I had an INC and liked it. Its all a matter of taste. I have had a Droid X and the original Droid and out of all the phones I like the EVO the best and my second would be the original Droid..go figure.

if you go verizon, get the thunderbolt.
at&t the atrix.
t-mobile id get the mytouch4g or wait for the lg 3d phone.
for sprint id wait for the nexus s or the evo3d.

+1...Had a MyTouch on Simple Mobile and it was nice...

So when are these phones coming out guys? And am I gonna have to wear glasses w the 3d lol.....? Is the Nexus really that ****ty? I've read some good reviews.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Well honestly I think the Nexus S us a great device! it just comes down to what you like & what you need. Some people say to wait for Dual-core phones but personally I don't like the idea. So it's all up to you, when it comes down to it. Also take into account that the Nexus S didn't have a SD card slot, but not a big deal to me

I understand it doesn't have an sd but what kind of internal memory does it have? A. Do what's that mean performance wise?

inc and nexus s are not real upgardes from the EVO.
i would wait for a few months.. and better phones will be released.
better cpu and gpu and mem and screens.

For 3d its no glasses and I disagree on getting the thunderbolt its not a real upgrade from the evo

Right now the evo is still top dog imo, plus the developer community is way involved. Seems like at least one new rom comes out each week.

4ton4g

My current gf's upgrade is due and she's elgible for the phone surprisingly! I was considerng dropping my sexy, gorgeous, fantastic, amazing epic 4g on her and taking off with the 4ton4g! I played around with it a bit yesterday at the sprint store and I literally jizzed in my briefs!(false story) I'm strongly considering taking it though! Has any one played around with it as of late? First impressions?

I have had it for 3 days and love it. But you should look in the photon 4g section, and read the forums there. That's where you will find the most info on it. And yes its a bad Mopho!

Eh, personally the underwhelming Tegra 2 and locked bootloader ruined it for me. If it had the OMAP 4430 like the rest of MOTOs new "Droids" I'd give it a try.

I don't know if I would call the phone 'ugly' but it's certainly different. The screen...well, no one can really compete with Sammy's screen, let's get real here. Locked bootloader = fail IMO. I know, I know, there's an update that supposed to come out and unlock it, but when? Has there been an actual announcement date on it?
I was seriously considering the Photon because of impatience with the SGSII, but knowing the bootloader is in fact locked, and with hope of Nexus 3 coming in a few months, I'm going to skip on the Photon personally.
I hope it's a rockin phone for those that get it, I just won't be one of them.

locked bootloader = fail

I literally just got mine in the mail the ups guy just knocked on the door I'm about to open it up now......gotta love working for a third party sprint dealer. Korey has it and loves it. Unfortunately only way to root right now is having the media dock which is 100 bones but I'll let you guys know tomorrow how I actually feel about the phone.
Gonna miss my keyboard but I'm going to keep my epic for dev/testing purposes.....

I don't know display is really pixelated and lock bootloader sux

I honestly could not buy it. My epic right now runs smoother. Just based on the reveiws the galaxy s2 is much better than the other duel core phones.

I'm just anxious for CWM and root to work without any doubts of it ruining something in the process of flashing each. One thing that worries me is the back and forth about whether the phone will support Rev B or not, no one seems to know.

Really that's all that's missing from our devices, they are made to be mainly informative and entertaining, but not productive. Now the asus transformer has productivity written all over it as long as right productivity apps (imagine open office on android) could definateley replace a laptop for school. Like 75% of my schoolwork requires my laptop lol

Samsung Conquer 4G (opinions)

So this has nothing to do with the epic, but I was told I was getting a brand new conquer 4G as a gift. I tried finding its forums to see what's up with the phone but it seems likeit doesn't have its own section(or I can't find it)? So I just wanted to know what you guys thought about that phone? Would it be easy to root it and make it better or is it already a great phone stock?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

i have a friend that has one. He loves it, its not rooted or anything so dont have a clue about development for it. he likes it but of course he is jealous of my phone because of how badass it is...

My lady's sister has that phone. There isn't much development for it, and no official section for it on xda last I checked. There is some basic rooting info for it in general I found once. There is also another site you can find with google dedicated to only that device. As of a few months ago there were one or two roms for it.

Its size seems pretty nice to carry and have with me so I'm looking forward to getting it. And I found a way to root it, its actually the same way I rooted my epic on froyo. But I couldn't find no roms or anything for it.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

Coming from a tech perspective, I never see them come in for repairs though they may be indicative of little we sell of them, it's still a great little phone, probably one of the best for your money in terms of an entry level phone. Budget level android phones have come a long way, and the Conquer is a great example of that.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

So one more question. What would you perfer the conquer or original evo?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

My son had one until it went through the washing machine. Great budget phone in my opinion. The lower screen resolution compared to my Epic was the only noticeable difference, that and it was running a more vanilla flavored Gingerbread without TouchWiz.

I've heard the "Beats" audio, it's mostly enhanced bass and tweaked treble. Was not extremely impressed.
As for my new GSIII, I like it. Came from a flashed GSI. The improvement is alot more than coming from an older laptop to a state of the art one...
Yeah, I rooted it a few hours after getting it.

I came from the Aria, so the difference is pretty significant. I will say that I think the screen is ever so slightly too large. I think 4.3-4.5 inch displays are the perfect size.

Came from a gs2. Ran aokp and fluxxi kernel and it was smooth.
But the gs3 beats it by a mile.
Gps is faster. Battery life is way better. Data speed (lte) ****s on hspa and I love the screen... Plus the camera is very nice.

Happy, mostly... Wish I wouldn't have had the evo to play with first, grr... That camera knocks this one's dingle in the dirt, the display is much nicer, and the devs are killing that thing, lol, I'm sitting here with my rooted phone and thumb up my arse wishing I knew how to dev cause we have not one Damn Rom... On the other hand I do like playing with Samsung as it's a tad different than HTC. It feels maybe a little better than evo in my hands, in a strange way, the phone feels a little cheaper so I'm not as worried to use it like it's intended. This thing gets hot and has performance issues and hopefully all my "issues" are all software related... It does have removable battery which is huge for me as I like to keep a few extra batteries charged and ready to go, HATE to be tethered to a wall. The sound on this thing is really loud and clean, really appreciate that... The digitizer is a bit spastic at times but that might just need tweaked as well... It does have 2GB's of ram:-~ lol, I don't know any Sammy devs either, did they all go to evo??? Lol, Need to flash something, going through withdrawals:-o I also don't have any of the display having the black spots or weird colors so maybe I got lucky for once... Ramble, ramble...

I have an evo lte too and it's screen + camera is beautiful. I just got my s3 in today and I'm sure they will be more devs when everyone is actually able to get the s3. I mean I pre-ordered mine on the 7th and it didn't even come until today with all the shortages.
Give it time, the devs will come here =)
