Wow, not really much going on for the 1st day imo. Nothing much on anything coming soon, like in the next few weeks.
I'm sitting on my atrix which is in its box on the fridge waiting to hear of something coming soon on att. Guess I will just return it and get my $ back.
I've been waiting for news on the sgs2 our the samsung infuse. Maybe tomorrow our wed hopefully.
What are your thoughts.

I'm also really interested in hearing about the Samsung Galaxy S II and the Samsung Infuse. Hilariously enough, I went to an AT&T store to get a new SIM for my iPhone 4 so I could give it to my mom, and I asked an employee working there who had a little Samsung badge on his belt if he knew anything about the Infuse's release date. "Samsung Infuse? Never heard of it."
I was at CTIA today. HTC guy said they were going to announce a dual core phone today...Never heard about it. Suppose it's the Pyramid. The booth guy really didn't know very much.
Did go by the Motorola booth and jokingly complain about the Skype, Fake 4G, and other things. The guys just all grinned and blamed it on AT&T.
Galaxy S II no one at the booth would say anything about when it was coming to US.
Playstation phone was nice. Got to see an Arc (from an ericsson guys pocket) it was nice but kind of meh.
All in all I agree I have sore feet and not much else to show for my efforts.
If I had been feeling particularly malicious I would have connected my phone straight to a HDMI cord sans dock and showed the Moto guys what's been done to the phone, but I didn't.
I had the best time at the Nokia booth though. People were really friendly, and down to earth. Had a grea time chatting with a booth guy that was really knowledgeable and we both decided we hope the best comes out of the WP7 deal. I tried to get him to open up about a new "Meego" type phone but he just smiled.
Tomorrow is my last day to return the Atrix and I guess I'm keeping it.
See I had to pay full 535 for it and it just rankles me that I at times feel due to the various issues I'm not getting nor will get the full moneys worth.
Buyers remorse from too much time reading forums I guess.

Me too, same dilemma. I want a SGS II SO bad, but no idea when its being released is so off-putting. i can't wait around in limbo for 2, 3, 4 months. I paid full price for my Atrix as well and am contemplating returning it or not. I'll only get $495 of the $530 i paid though back ($35 re-stocking fee). Hoping CTIA would bring me a reason to take it back, but unfortunately nothing yet.
Well I rationalize that since. I love the phone even with all its flaws I'll enjoy it as is.
Work pays for my base phone bill & data plan so it's like getting the phone for free.

If you didn't already hear, the press conference between AT&T and Samsung was not for the Galaxy S II. It was of course for the Infuse 4G. This will be the first of AT&T phones to be capable of up to 21Mbps, assuming you are in an area where the cell towers have fiber backhaul in place.
That being said, there is another press conference from Samsung(and Samsung alone, no carriers mentioned with it) that will take place May 24th. This is what people are presuming to be the Galaxy S II, and takes place exactly 11 months after the press conference for the original Galaxy S line.
Now, my question to all of you is, if you are in serious need of a phone, what do you think is the best choice to do in this situation? I have all lines available for an upgrade, starting tomorrow, as this will mark 11 months after, which makes me within 30 days of my 1 year mark of this contract, and the guy at the AT&T store said I can do the upgrade if I am within 30 days(I said that confusingly, but it made sense in my head, so I hope you all understood).
I am sitting here with a Motorola Backflip, the slowest and worst phone you could ever want. Okay not true, but I think I'd rather have a simpler phone with its own random OS that runs smoothly on it since it would be designed for it. So I want to get a new phone ASAP, but I really would like the Galaxy S II. Should I just go ahead and get the Infuse 4G since I am desperate? Or do you think it would be worth waiting for Galaxy S II? I have multiple upgrades, so I may just get the Infuse for now and still get Galaxy S II when it comes, but at that point I would have to pay for it. If I just wait for Galaxy S II, I won't have to pay, but I'd be without a good phone for a while, and it's already been long enough. I think that I may end up being fine with the Infuse, but the GSII seems so nice, I'm gonna want it anyway.
I'm kinda trying to save up my money, I get a couple hundred every two weeks, but I end up spending a lot, and a phone would cost me a whole paycheck.
Anyways what do you guys think on this whole situation, whether it's about the May 24th press conference, or what phone I should get, or whatever.
The infuse will be an afterthought. It runs 2.2... it'll have little dev support and tweaking/upgradability will be much less likely. Old hardware as well except for the screen and 4.5" is just too big imo.
Wait for the SGS2
if you look at the at&t facebook page..the 24th showcase may be for tablets..not sure if its for sg2. i have it marked down tho..but i would try out the infuse. you said you have multiple upgrades..so why not.

Yeah it's just if I wanna have to spend money or not cause if I just choose one then I personally don't have to pay anything.
See which upgrade on AT&T can be sold on ebay for max $ and use that $ to buy the SGS2.
Well if I buy one, then switch to another later, I will have to give the other one up for another person in my family.

That's exactly what I did. I bought an Atrix for $99 from Best Buy and sold it on eBay for $470. I used the profit to help me pay for my new S2!
Oh, and as a bonus since I had the unlimited data plan with my old 3GS the Best Buy rep called AT&T and asked them to keep me grandfathered on that plan. I thought that was pretty cool.

interesting
but I think they were just given a UK model to play with - in the limited shots I saw no ATT icons anywhere, no logo on the front and no physical customization to the design - all things AT&T LOVES to do and DOES in most cases
i'm starting to think you get off on being a negative nellie

As to May 24 samsung announcement,I think that gs2,will be the U.S debut,and tmo gets our phone,if look through some forums the gs2 was be coming to tmo 1st anyway,ATT GOT INFUSE,WE GET THE BIG BANG.

Actually the whole GS2 on T-mobile USA rumor started when t-mo accidentally responded to a tweet about the GS2 and they confused it for the GS 4G... they corrected themselves but the rumors had already spread.. I would love this device on T-mobile or Sprint.. but Sprint is just getting around to releasing the Nexus S 4G... not a bad phone but when it wasn't cutting edge when the original was announced last winter..
Good bye, Nexus users.

To annoy those who are easily annoyed????
Stout season is upon us!! Do yourself a favor and find Founders Breakfast Stout........so good......
Well I don't mean to troll your thread but since i havent really made a impact in this forum, no one would care.
Im am also leaving the Nexus S 4G. And im so sad to leave it but so happy with my new Gnex.
The 1.2gb dual core processor really feels soo smooth and i have been trying to achieve that with custom roms/kernels on my NS4G that honestly on the stock Gnex it brings satisfaction and completion.
Just a little story if your interested.
Last September i switched to sprint and was going to get my phone at best buy.
I didnt have much money to spend so what was hot at the time (Evo 3D- $199.99) was way out of my reach.
For $29.99 I was dead set on getting the Evo ( i think it was 4g wiimax). But best buy was sold out.
So the worker who i feel superior to because they don't know anything about the phone except whats listed on the ads.
Well, they pushed me to get the evo shift (free). But there was this phone with much mystery called nexus s.
I went over to their computer section to wikipedia specs to see which is faster and better but they had their ups and downs.
I went back 15 mins later and they pulled the shift out with a case and I became mad because she was trying to force the phone saying its better because of camera, keyboard, and year released that i went to the rep next to her and told him i want the nexus s 4g.( Reps get more money when they sign up people). A little arguement broke out and I left that store with the Nexus S 4g.
The big surprise to me is when Ice Cream Sandwich came out and i learned I have a Flagship Phone with Google and will receive future updates first. This made me A pure Google supporter and forever a Apple product/service hater.
I won $200 on a lottery ticket and decided to get the Gnex. People on craigslist were super stingy in my area wanting 300+ for a scratched up and some dented Gnex's.
Never buying phones off Ebay, I checked and saw one that was advertised as rooted and bids was $180. The HD pics showed not a scratch and long story short I now have one working for $186.50.
Now my new upgrade is in June so I can still get the next nexus this year.
Thats my story of the Nexus S 4g's life.
My advice to people, Don't get it now with a 2 year contract.
With the next nexus coming next month you don't want to fall two models behind in 2 years you'll be 10 models behind because Nexus are growing. Check Ebay and you can grab one for $250 or under.
Again, Sorry for trolling but i didn't want to spam the boards.
Hopefully my Gnex's battery can last through this hurricane sandy.
And just getting my nexus 4 from the carphone warehouse for over £100 more than the play store.
I sold my galaxy s3 to get the nexus on the 13th Nov. Had the nexus in the basket about 30 times but I would get an error when pressing proceed.
Couple of reasons why im thinking about going for it is, there's no real date on the net stating when stock will be in. Some sources say 13th Nov? And just read today on a site could be end of December. And correct me if I'm wrong but are people not still waiting on their order from the 13th?
Probably the biggest reason I'm thinking about biting the bullet is that I'm rocking a galaxy tab p1000 for a phone! And tbh its driving me up the wall!! Haha
Do you think I am crazy?

I bit the bullet. Didn't regret it for even a second, this phone is so good. Though I didn't have an S3 before it...
If you include the play store shipping fees, it's actually less than £100 difference, more like £90.
I also bought it from Carphone Warehouse and regret it a lot less than i though i would. The phone is so good it is still worth £389.95. I will possibly regret it when they come back on sale but not having to trawl the web for the smallest rumour about more stock or constant F5ing of the play store is a god send :good:

Yeah i cant be arsed checking the web every 2 mins to see what's happening.
I think google have be wankers with all this. IMHO The reason they sold out was to give 3rd partys a chance to get you in to a 24 month contract.
I have a good mind to now buy the phone at all!!

This is the way I looked at it, I paid 700 for my GNex at launch last year, so I figured even if I didnt get in on a Play Store order launch day anything under 700 was still a deal when I compare what I paid last year for a Nexus. Luckily I got in on Play Store and wasnt backordered.
Bought one from o2 the day after google screwed me over when i had been up all night and i havent regretted it at all.
I could afford to buy it and its a great phone and a nice step up from the gnex i had before.
Im enjoying my phone while some poor people that actually got through the order prcess succesfully are waiting on devices still.
just go get it if you can afford it mate
Just bought it. Should get it tomorrow.
Google you win...... This time

That's what I say. Last year I paid $649.00 in Toronto. I will most likely look on kijiji And spend $500.00 still cheaper than when i bought Gnexus:good:
Hi, I'm hoping to get the nexus 4 in a couple of weeks as an upgrade so I went in to inquire about it and the lady in the three uk shop told me they had been recalled but didn't know the reason why?
So I phoned another local shop when I got home and they said the same, it has been recalled but don't know why, the man went on to tell me the closest thing to a nexus if I still wanted to upgrade was a galaxy s4 lol, but it ain't even been launched yet!!!
So I phoned three customer service and they said they hadn't heard of the phone being recalled!!
I have no idea what's going on?
Has anyone heard any news of nexus 4 handsets being recalled in the uk? If so I just wanted to know why? And if its likely ill be able to still get it in a couple of weeks?
Thanks alot

..."closest thing to Nexus is a galaxy s4". What??? As close as a dog and a cat are, yes. They're both animals with 4 legs.
No n4 is recalled. Or, it hasn't been announced yet but little miss Betty at the 3 shop knows about it.
Utter tripe. They are trying to sell you a phone that they get better commission on
Why wouldn't you just buy it from Google, no bull**** and better prices.

I'm upgrading early within 110 day upgrade so they said its gonna cost £95 to do that so at the moment I'm using an iphone 4 and I can't handle it anymore so I was gonna sell that to mazuma for £115 then use the money from the phone to upgrade early, I can't afford to pay like 250 or whatever from google , times are hard lol
