that nexus one is looking real sexy ::mouth waters::
don't know if it'll come to sprint this year or not, I suppose there is a hope if it goes to big red.
I'll probably pick up a hero with a bad esn in the summer after more android phones come out for sprint and it gets cheap, and swap the esn with an old phone I've got and run it on my sero plan. it'll be the trusty old vogue-droid until then.

I don't think that I could own a non-htc device after being spoiled for so long with my vogue, so that knocks the moto droid out I've seen more than one report saying this spring for Nexus 1 on Verizon so hopefully there's no funny business lol.. T-mobiles offering it for 179.00 on new contract but I bet it's 299.99 at least on VZW with upgrade.

Isn't this the dude who got pissed off with Android on a daily basis, and swore on a weekly basis that he was never going to use Android again? I can't sleep and decided to check out things on the Vogue forum since I've been gone. Good to see fixxxer2008's still providing entertainment.
Also, although I can't make calls with it, I've still got my Vogue. I think I'll try a NAND flash on it just to see how everyone's hard work has been paying off.

[Q] Can We Get A LG Quantum Section In This Forum?

Just what the title says. Everybody else got what they want in the wp7 i want my phone section up here. That is not too much to ask is it?
I think they are adding boards when the phone is released / becomes popular.
They should add all the new wp7 phones soon.

Im not quite sure now. I'm hearing two different sizes i was told 3.6 and also 3.8 so i don't know. Either way its still will be a upgrade from my i637 jack.
Is this LG Quantum, LTE capable so when AT&T rolls out LTE, we don't have to change our phones?
I hate to upgrade and pay $199 only to find out that it will stay on 3G.
Thank you for your reply

Nexus S from bestbuy

Hi, sorry just wanna ask a question about T-mobile Nexus S.
I want to buy Nexus S from bestbuy without a contract with T-mobile. Is it already unlock or not? the price is $529.99
Thx so much for the help
I believe all of the Nexus S' are unlocked. I might be wrong though

I found this on a T-mobile forum page. I don't know if I can post links yet so I'll just quote it:
There is no "locked" version.
They all come carrier "unlocked.
One is with contract and one is without.
This is no different than the N1.
It's not a Tmobile branded phone but Tmobile is only offereing the service

May 5th AT&T/Samsung Announcement

http://www.androidguys.com/2011/05/02/att-samsung-announcing-nexus-5th/
a couple of android sites are reporting that they've been invited a press event where they'll have a "special announcement" i'm hoping it's about the SGS2 but more likely it'll be either the Infuse or the AT&T Nexus S. but you know... hope springs eternal.
The best buy ad here has the infuse coming May 2011 but nothing about Galaxy S 2

Oh god I hope this is it. Please be it. We already know about the Infuse...it wouldn't be a "special announcement". It has to be the SGS2!

that's what i'm hoping. press events are usually reserved for hotly anticipated flagship devices.
not counting the kyocera echo of course
OP, the majority of people in that old thread "In USA: Where to Pre-Order" think this is the Samsung Infuse and not the Samsung Attain yet, in my opinion the AT&T's version of SGS2, because of the first 3 letters. There is no way VZW, Sprint or TMOB are taking that name. Well TMOB could.
thanks

So is that it? They're gonna call it the Attain here in the US? And those other names that popped up with it, you think those will be for the other carriers? Do you think they will be any different from one another? But yea I see what you mean, how the first three letters of Attain are ATT.
Lol, anyways, people were also saying it's probably Nexus S for AT&T, but no, who gives a **** about that, we don't care about that one either. Get out, this is SGS2 and we are finally going to get it!
aaaagh that's the one thread i didn't check to see if it had already been posted.

I guess you're pointing out the fact that the laptop has a picture of the T-Mobile website with the SGS2 on it?
yep. i know it's a mock up... but what would be the point of teasing it like that. maybe it's like a little easter egg. adobe is good for sprinkling them in their products.

I just hope that doesn't mean T-Mobile is gonna get it before us AT&T users. Although, I don't care as much if it means were getting closer to getting it.
But no, they won't get it first, because they're announcing it for us on May 5th!
THATS THE SPIRIT!!!
but honestly, i've been off contract for so long i'm willing to go to whoever gets it first

It's been mentioned in another thread that ad is for T-Mobile UK.
I want the S2 as much as anyone else, but this may not be the clue you want.

Would make sense....T-Mobile's page never looked like that
That other thread also pointed out that next to it is a MT4G, which someone claimed TMO UK doesn't have.
My wife will kill me when TMOUS gets the sgs2, because I cannot avoid getting it. It's a compulsion.
I say...
they announce the Infuse release date and throw up some other flagship in there as well.
I hope it's the Samsung Infuse with Dual Core.
But seriously, it's probably just the Infuse we saw back in CES that they're going to announce.

[ALERT] Bell Listing Galaxy SII - Coming soon!

Hi guys, I posted this in the SGS2 thread as well:
I'm not sure if anyone has posted or noticed this: http://galaxys2.bell.ca/en/
It's finally coming to Canada. (Probably July 14th)...looks like the international version to me!
Their homepage currently does not link to the SGS2 page.
Yay!!! Awesome. But the draw is on 19 July are u sure they are releasing on 14?
If its under 600$, I am so getting one. However I don't wanna give more cuz its stupid to spend that much money for a phone.
Damn~I asked a stuff of BELL about this GS2 last month~he just told me BELL won't bring it in~now it seems a bull****~

Per the contest rules, the price is 599.95:
5.1. Prizes: There are a total of ten (10) Samsung Galaxy SII 4G smartphones available to be won. Approx retail value $599.95 Cdn each.
So if I won it I don't have to steal, um I mean, buy it.

I have the same problem man. I am thinking how to not make her angry and get the phone. I mentioned it before and said I am gonna give my sgs to u and buy the sgs2 for myself but she doesnt care and doesnt want to have a smart phone. However, I got the phone last year.
I really hope I win or we r gonna have some serious argument.
