I hope this is true. More choices is never a bad thing, and at least Motorola has had a fairly good track record in updating their flagship devices....

i guess motorola is slowing lessening their hate for qualcomm

I do find a few of the Atrix's features pretty interesting, the fingerprint scanner is definitely badass, but with MotoBlur as the UI I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole.

The copy of that article made me LOL.
The Atrix is unique because it runs on a brand new dual-core mobile chip, expanding its processing power far beyond any smartphone before.

Sprint is an increasingly attractive option for mobile manufacturers because of its strong 4G network.

What they probably meant to say was that Sprint is ideal because lack of competition. It only really has like 3 high end phones...And a lot of people have owned at least 2 out of those 3 at one point or another. Put the Atrix over on Sprint and guess where everyone would go...

Definitely wouldn't get the atrix if you want to flash alot of stuff. No kernels for that phone.

Samsung Stratusphere closest Galaxy S variant to the Epic...maybe

So as my old thread kinda pointed out before, the Samsung slider Verizon was getting was awfully similar to our Epics in appearance. And guess what? it is real and it's being released soon. So what I found to be interesting about it is that it runs on the exact same hardware as the Epic! Well, that is, excluding the processor -__- while we have a single core 1ghz processor, the Verizon slider will sport a dualcore 1.2ghz processor. The real reason behind this post is this: this to me sounds like the closest sibling our Epic has in the Galaxy S family thus far, so with the processors being the only real difference, will we be able to port anything from it over to the Epic and/or will their source help us in any way to further advance development on our Epics? Hmmm...

Well, that one would hurt. So, they have a stable, problem free Cingerbread on that phone already? EDIT..it doesn't say that's going to be dual core for certain. They are comparing the stats of the Galaxy S2

So there still might be some hope for us afterall. The mandatory 18 month support deal google is enforcing now means that this Verizon slider will hopefully get up to ICS, and if we can hopefully find something useful from it ( like port some of its ROMs, kernels, use some of its source) then we might have a shot at extending the Epics "life" right? I'm being hopeful because as bad as I want to jump ship to a new device, I'm not ready to give up my physical keyboard just yet.
EDIT: ok, just reread it JC and your right. As of now, all the hardware specs coincide with our Epics, the processor it will be porting is yet to be announced. It does say it'll be a "budget phone" in another article I read, so considering high end devices at the moment are sporting dual core processor 1.2ghz and up, I'm willing to be it will also be a 1ghz single core like ours

Unfortunately I wouldn't doubt it. The Galaxy S line(Not 2) was handled horribly. We should have been like Samsungs personal nexus line with support and updates, but not a single phone got that. Which isn't bad in all truth. But it could have went better with ICS coming soon.
Also aren't we still within 18 months? It's been a year but not too much over it.

Yeah especially if we were basically Samsung's testers for Gingerbread on another similar device. I don't know enough about development to know if ROMs could be easily ported from it

Everything I saw about the stratosphere showed it to be exactly like the epic, just for VZW. Been waiting for it as my girlfriend has VZW and her renewal is this month. And the leaked pics I've seen of it show 2.3.4, so maybe if we're lucky we'll see the source for that and can put something together from it if we don't see official GB released by then..

The 18 month support policy wasn't being enforced until just recently so our Epic's, I'm guessing, won't get further than GB (officially speaking of course) Korey also stated that GB would be the final "dying breath" of the Epic support wise. So this could be our final chance at a big helping hand in development...

Highly doubt this will be relevant at all. Thinking there will be similarities in driver code is akin to thinking there was going to be similarities in our epics and other galaxy s's. And we all know how well that turned out.

Well what this handset has that the rest of the other handsets dnt is the hardware keyboard which I heard was a problem devs had a rough time with considering the other galaxy s counter parts had no hardware keyboard. Also, the rest of the hardware matches perfectly, all we need is the processor to be announced. I'm thinking this handset will help us out a bit somehow, but then again, I'm no dev, so take my "hopefulness" with a grain of salt

The camera will be different(1.3megapixel ffc) we have a .3megapixel

Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

I think it will be similar. Verizon rehashed the Evo a little less than a year later. Verizon only has 1 dual core 4G phone. Finally, Verizon said they weren't getting a GSII variant and if this was dualcore, it would probably be considered a GSII variant just like the epic is.

Well they also have a better screen because they have a super amoled plus instead of a super amoled so they don't have to deal with weird subpixels.

Epic 4G, is that you?

Well I guess best we can do at this point Is hope we can pull some dev off this device. But hey. hope is better then nothing.

Yeah, that would work as well. In any case, even if their source or porting any of their stuff doesn't help us, their device community would still be of great value to us.

Anything but the 5250 processor, non-removeable battery, no microSD card. There, that should start off what they could screw up.
If they check those off on this phone, I'm getting it, without question.

Doesn't matter how cool the phone operates. Even LTE speeds will prove how garbage sprint is. Verizon always keeps them under the wing. I hate it.

What do you mean by this? The only thing about the One X better than the Evo 4G LTE is the processor. Everything else about the E4GLTE is on par, if not better than the One X.

From what I heard, Sprint and Big Red have an advantage thanks to their CDMA networks. Korean networks run on CDMA LTE, so...with a bit of tweaking from Samsung, we could *possibly* have the quadcore GS3 on Sprint
As for AT&T and T-MO, their networks are more complex to support as they have a GSM HSPA+/LTE and what not, something that isn't yet implemented and supported by the Exynos chip, or the Tegra 3 chip for that matter.
So in theory, we *MIGHT* get lucky with the Exynos. Again tho, take it with HALF a grain of salt

Once the boards are riddled with new ROMs that really push this hardware, thats when my fun really begins. For now, I'm going to run stock for a couple months to give the development community some time to cook up some awesomeness.

What case are you planning on buying? My sister wants to put on a cell phone charm as well, but the only cases that have a cutout for the lanyard are Samsung cases that we've found so far.

Actually...I liked "Take over the world"

Buying more accessories for it than I need. Cables, cases, batteries, chargers, screen protectors, etc... till I figure out which ones I like best and use most often, then the rest will stay in a box as spares.
