I couldn't help myself... Jumped from the EVO.

Oh my goodness, I can't get over how slim and light the Nexus is and how beautiful the screen is!

I almost got a G2 a couple days ago so I understand. Might still get one or a nexus 2.

I'm going to wait a few weeks and see if there's any chance of a Sprint Nexus S. If not, I'll probably get it too. T-Mo is as cheap and even with a regular 3G radio under HSPA it's much faster than Sprint's 3G.

You'll all be back when the next version of the Evo comes out. ;-)

This is true. And the individual plans are pretty much the same now. Sprint needs a nexus. But the knight is coming soon. Its basically the G2 with sense.

My contract was exactly the same price. The only difference now is that I have 1500 "anytime" minutes as opposed to Sprint's unlimited mobile-to-mobile (which I can live without).

not bashing anyone that get's the nexus S but i messed with a buddies and imho it feels samsungish cheap and plastic i DO love the screen and how the phone has a slight curve

Swyped from Eva running Myn's RLS4!

If only it wasn't a Samsung, though having Google involved should speed up the response time on software fixes.

No thanks, its definately not a phone worth jumping carriers for...Actually I dont think that type of phone exists. Its a minor improvement to the epic, on a crap network. I aint missing out on anything, however there is a dual core 1.5 gz monster that is going to appear in a few weeks......(cough *Evo2*cough) and that will be exciting to see. Nexus S, not so much.

Yea, made by Samsung killed any excitement I had for this phone right away! I would like to play with one in person to check out the screen, the curve and of course 2.3
But the only phone that made me consider jumping carriers was the g2, even then I couldn't see it, but definitely not for anythign Samsung. I do hope being a google dev phone that it is still somewhat as successful as the n1 was... for the sake of androids future.

Not sure if thats gonna happen. People are already calling BS on TMO for claiming that its really not unlocked....even though best buy said it is....So people are ending up paying alot more for it than they expected....Shame on TMO. lol

Congrats on the phone! Like many others said, it is unfortunate that it is a Samsung, hopefully Google backs it well. Unfortunately, with every Samsung phone I have ever had the hardware was complete crap, always had problems. AND I find it interesting that the phone came out today and there still is not a root method for the phone. I remember before the Evo even came out we had a root method. I think that this shows something for the developer in interest in the phone itself. Only time will tell and I may be proved wrong, but so far its not looking too good.

Hmmm not sure what your trying to say here. That is pretty interesting maybe I am wrong about support but in just black and white it seems like thats the case.

It is Samsung ... but it's also the only Samsung phone I'd even consider buying. Gotta agree though, got a good thing going with the Evo and Sprint is great around here - so it wouldn't make sense to switch phones ... let alone a carrier. And even if T-Mo speeds are faster on 3G than Sprints ... depending on coverage, that still doesn't excuse the lack of HSPA+ or no SD Card ... I dunno. I still hear people complaining about signal / reception with T-Mo. Just doesn't really make sense when you think of what is around the corner.

There will always be better phones. Always. But there will only be one (annual) true Google phone. That's it's main selling point for me. Everything Google (and a lot of top 3rd party developers) makes in 2011 will be based on the Nexus S.

Sammy is such a rip off!!!

So here we go again, the new galaxy s 2 series will be out next month and im stuck with this crappy epic 4g. I guess they are coming out with this cause the first galaxy s series was a complete failure in my opinion. So if we want a quality phone we will have too fork over more money to a company that just wants to sell, sell, sell. Maybe if they didnt try to compete with other companys as hard and focus on making a product better we wouldnt feel so ripped off. I for one will probably go with that other company.

Holy crap, 42 million views?? Why is he so damn special?

That video was funny. What a dumb ass.

LOL there is something major wrong with that nutjob... We should show that to samsung and sprint. LOL

lol personaly I think it was fake.
and back on topic, if you dont like your phone then go trade it in, if you want froyo so bad, then use a rom.
other then that just wait patiently, cuz I feel even though thre froyo was slow, gingerbread will be here sooner then everyone else.

Personally I don't think samsung is a ripoff. Granted I do prefer htc over samsung [mainly bc of htc sense]. Whenever a new high quality hd phone comes out for tmobile I get it. And I plan on doing the same with sprint as long as the phone deff has a keypad n front camera. Or at least a keypad and least froyo n hopefully gingerbread on new releases. [Evos so lucky they get official gingrbread update soon]
I don't mind forking 500 a month on a new phone .. but I have a spending problem and I love phones.
Since I need a keypad and front camera n the evo shift lacks a front camera and evo lacks a keypad I went with the epic. I already have the g2 for google. However I rarely use the g2. but I switch between my vibrant, mytouch 4g, hd2 and hd7 for tmobile.
I was debating on getting the nexus s for the official gingerbread but I think ill hold back for a new released phone.
People are constantly getting new phones and there is nothing wrong with samsung releasing better and newer phones for those people who want them or are finally upgrading to android/smart phones. Its just business and if you have a problem with your epic go get an evo or evo shift n be happy.

Whats with the Samsung hate aroudn here? Has anyone actually used an Evo? An update does not make your phone better...its just a damn update. The main difference between 2.1 and 2.2 is damn near non existant. 2.2 aint sht, its just flash. The difference between 2.3 and 2.2 is big on the Evo now because of the lack of Sense and the new UI changes, the performance is still the same. A 2.2.1 rom feels just like 2.3 imo. Nobody is really missing out on much, an update will not make your phone run like its on crack and there really arent that many features out there that is wild. Samsung made great hardware and not that many HTC devices can keep up. if all you care about is the updates then you'll probably never really enjoy your phone. Because the way Android is looking, I dont think there will ever be a phone that will always get the latest updates.

Ok I'm coming from a Hero where this 2.1 especially since it's fast feels great. I guess I have 30 days and I could return and get the series 2, I don't see the need though, what do you want to do so badly??

I'm going to have to agree with you seeing as how I have a friend with the Nexus S and yes I know quadrant is not accurate but I would just like to say my rooted Epic has scored higher than his phone with 2.3 so it goes to show that updates in oem software aren't gonna make your phone work at its full potential. And to the person who think sammy is a rip off you did have 30 days to return the phone or you could have researched phones a little bit before deciding the samsung epic was the one for you.
Sent from my Epic with Seven Sisters

Currently the Epic is one of the best hardware phone out there. Probably will soon change next month when the new models are announced. I recently bought mine for $200 at Best Buy at upgrade price. I knew new models will be out but will be at higher cost that I was willing to pay. And for what unknowns I'd be faced with the new models so I went with the tried and true model which is the Epic.
Granted Froyo isn't available yet but that's just software update. You can't update hardware unless you buy a new one.

I just want the everything on my phone to work properly. I am on a custom rom (midnight 3.1) which is the BEST i have used to date but i think when you buy a phone and spend that kind of money it should work correctly out of the box. IF medic can make a rom this good on his free time with children and sprint and samsung still havent got their **** together than something is wrong. With this update it will improve the features that im talking about. I have yet to even use my 4g and the gps is ok at best. I kept my phone after the 30 day mark cause they kept saying soon, soon, soon. now im begining to think it will be released eventually but i also think this will be the final update which really ticks me off.

Relax Francis. All these threads about people getting mad, calling Sprint etc. If your phone is a POS then sell it. Going from 2.1 to 2.2 is not going to make your phone go from a POS to awesome.

Great post!!!!!
I'm on stock 2.1 rooted clockwork with mobile AP and custom kernal and I love it it has everything I want in a phone and its the fastest on the market ATM, I've been through HTC phones and tries the evolution and I don't like sense or touch wiz I use launcher pro and I never need to show off that I h don't have froyo cause my phone is faster then all HTC phones I've compared too and best looking to not square.
If I want updates go get an evo I got this phone cause of all the kick ass hardware on it it doesn't leave anything out, unlike HTC phones which pretty much every phone leaves something out that I want and then I want updates to make it faster and cool things that I envy on other phones but my epic is the ****
Stop whining and *****ing about froyo and go get a custom rom or be patient!!! Also as soon as the source drops noobnls will start improving is running cm6 and cm7

I love my dinc! But what's next?

I'm an original at&t iPhone guy who switched to Verizon about a year ago when the android finally started making me drool over its superior look, feel and operation.
The fact that its open source and has far better customization, sold me in a heartbeat. I started with a Samsung fascinate and was sorely dissapointed. The phone always had bugs and never ran properly. Even after a much awaited froyo update.
I traded my fascinate on craigslist for my dinc about 4 months ago and was very impressed not only with the lack of bugs and lagginess but also at the development that has occurred. The devs for this phone are freakin awesome!!! Thanks guys!!
Now I see dual core processors and larger screens taking over the android market as well as an upcoming iPhone 5 that, I'm sure will live up to the apple name.
My question is simple. Should I keep my dinc until its done, should I upgrade to a newer android device or should I cross back to the dark side and have apple tell me what's good for me once again? Hmmmmmmm.....

I'm keeping my Dinc until it's upgrade time (beginning of Jan 2012), and if there is no suitable replacement (for my tastes) then I have no problems sticking with the Dinc. It's a great phone and will still be a great phone in 6 months from now.
As for switching to iPhone, that's a matter of preference. I'm a Mac user that prefers Android over iOS because iOS doesn't have the flexibility and functionality that Android does. I do think that iOS can be prettier and more polished in some ways, but the functionality of an Android phone is worth more than the eye candy of iOS.

I would say the only worthy upgrade seems to be the SGS2(if it has lte) or the Nexus 4G/htc verzion that are rumored for this fall/winter.

HTC Nexus on Verizon *drooool*

I did a long hard search and honestly there is nothing better than the DINC right now.
The Droid incredible 2 I still wouldn't take just because of the lack of development.

I'd be surprised if Verizon would allow a stock phone without bloatware all over the damn place.. I'd love if I was wrong but I wouldn't be surprised if it was still a sprint phone. Saw an article about how sprint is now going to be removing bloatware or making it uninstallable. Pretty respectable move IMO, but I can't see Verizon following suit.

actually the nexus 4g lte is rumored to go to At&t with their new 4g lte network not verizons and sprint sort of exagerates "lies" the removal of bloatware because you can only remove 5 or so apps

Man, there STILL isn't anything even being talked about to be released to consider. Disappointing!
The only consolation is that we still have one of the best phones out there.

I have incredible faith (heh heh) in our devs. Seeing as the inc2 has just been rooted and we have the 2 big boys, cm7 and Miui already available for the device, i believe ill be accidentally taking a shower with my Dinc in my pocket in the next few weeks.

What's next is called the Thunderbolt. It's got a screen bright enough to read, battery life... well, anything has batter battery life than a dInc, absolutely stupid-fast 4G, a stupid-fast CPU that EASILY clocks up to 1.6GHz, and a screen big enough for a keyboard. I lived with the dInc for a long time, longer than any other phone I've ever had. I cannot for the life of me understand how anyone can say with a straight face that the original dInc isn't bested yet. There is literally nothing that the dInc does as well, let alone better, than either the Thunderbolt or the dInc2.

Verizon gets a small incentive from the companies of the bloatware, that's why they put them on there. and i don't think verizon will ever get a nexus bone stock android phone, i really don't, here is why. Verizon isn't really out there for the consumer, they are out there for the profit. hence why, i mean at t-mobile and ATT, if you want a new phone, no problem, walk into the store, and get one at the upgrade price....in the middle of your contract.
Verizon hasn't gotten the idea of that just yet. plus like other companies, verizon does have shareholders to report to (and they aren't happy, they think the data plan changes will ruin their investment)
the only reason i have verizon is because that's the only carrier here with decent coverege, and they really aren't as bad as people make them out to be.

really? there isn't much difference, gingerbread as i said above, is already on various roms for the dinc. the main selling point for the t-bolt right now is that it's a 4g CAPABLE phone. if you are not in a 4g area, you will get 3g coverege. my area won't get 4g until a few years from now. and no, i don't live in "podunk nebraska" i live in a town of about 48,500+ people.

Guess what? I had a dInc2 to play with for a week and I still have my Tbolt and I'm about to kernel up my old dInc, so yeah, I've got a hell of a lot more clue than pretty much everyone on this thread as to what I'm talking about. My dInc has been running GB for quite a while now. So has my Bolt. The dInc2 did EVERYTHING faster than the original, running bone stock firmware!
I'm not gonna make excuses for the Bolt. The firmware for that phone, and a good number of the leaks have been lousy. But, the more recent leaks have yielded absolutely bullet-proof, flowing-water smooth ROMs. The question was "What's next?". That big plate of glass next to me IS what's next. There is no question about it. It's not opinion. As for 4G, when towns like Fostoria, OH pop up with LTE, I'm thinking very broad coverage on this side of the Mississippi is clearly coming.... well before my contract is up. Hell! Even 3G is faster on the dInc2 and Tbolt, if for no other reason than they have the power to render things quicker. I'm glad people are happy with what they have. The dInc was, and still is, a solid, modern phone more capable than many devices to come after it. Too bad it looks pretty dated in light of Tbolts and dInc2's and several other phones. When I read someone write something like "I keep looking and I don't see anything that measures up to the dInc", I'm wondering how much crack they smoke. You're either insane, on drugs, or oblivious to reality to think that.

Wow man way to be a total ****. I have an incredible and my brother has a Tbolt, I can honestly say I prefer mine over it.
Besides that, although the Tbolt and INC2 *are* upgrades from the INC- for most people they just aren't worth someone's 2-year contract or full retail to get that sort of an upgrade. You've been out of the INC scene for a while it looks like.. and DEV's here are still putting out loads of stuff every day increasing performance/battery life/features -- moreso than INC2 or Thunderbolt since they've been out a shorter time. The INC2 even has issues now where if you buy it and it comes with GB, you can't even root it.
4G is extremely scarce, if you drive out 5 miles from whatever city you're in then you're out of luck as far as 4G goes. 4G is nowhere in my state yet, not even in our capitol (Richmond) and it looks like it'll be at least a year, probably more until we get it. The 3G, at least where I'm at, is fantastically good. I get 320kb/s on a good day and low 200's/kb/s during peak hours. That's enough to stream Colbert report, download movies (I've downloaded 4 so far) and watch netflix without pauses or hiccups.
So.. even if there WAS 4G in my area there really isn't any need that I get it since I don't normally watch HD movies on a ~4" screen or tether it to a datacenter.
Your opinion and mine.. but you don't need to flaunt around your phone while downing the INC (on our own forums) which is a perfectly awesome phone.

Who actually likes this phone?

I mean, common, with all the people asking if they should get an iphone or this, or what's better, this or the nexus, or all that other crap, am I the only one who realizes the absolute potential of this phone and how it pwns (excuse the crude terminology xD) basicly every other device out there including the crackberries and isucks, like just today I got about two hours total talk time, bout 5 hours online, wifi on for about 4 hours, bout 5 hours music through bluetooth and bout two through 3.5mm (damn thing lasted longer then my s10-HD), Data/gps and bluetooth on all day and going on 15hours uptime with 22% left on battery.
It performs extremely quick, compatible with basicly everything droid and ahead of the current market including the new nexus in specs, what's to question? The fact that carriers are being slow to release an update?
We already know that itl be comming fully touchcrapped out, and most people on this forums definitely aren't experienced enough to lay their hands on a system file let alone build a rom and will have to wait till someone releases a AOSP style build, with that being said, we don't need the carriers, only the drivers, then we can port what we need, so, why all the complaining, I say simply, if if you question the purchase, go for the alternitave, you probably couldn't handle the device properly anyways.
Opinions? And keep it clean, believe it or not, I'm actually going for a "healthy" discussion xD

I choose this one.

This phones awesome in every sense (obviously personal opinion)
I don't know how anyone could question it you can do so much with it its incredibly user friendly and poweful, easy as hell to flash, (although that counter sucks...),
Good lineup of cases, amazing screen and perfect resolution, I even like some* (very little) of TW,
I still say if you have to ask yourself, take the iphone xD
@anomy13
Just a little speal or rant about, well, wverything in my first post..

Suxs.....OP, not phone

I LOVE this phone, it's a monster!
I can close to literally do anything and EVERYTHING with it.
A side note is that this is Android, and if you're not too bright then you're just wasting your phones potential and would be better off with an iPhone.
Idk why so many ppl worry about these lines and blobs, you obviously have to look for them in order for them to get annoying... Either that or I don't have them as bad and atrocious as others say they are.

Lmfao ur a moron what u one of the n00bs I've shut up b4 and back winin or sumthin?
@above
Ye lol I like the processor and gig of ram part with my 16gb sdcard xD
Even compressing large zips are a breeze on it, and even with apps like android hexeditors and droidedit (notepad++ for droid with awesome features basicly) you don't even need a pc really xD you can basicly do what you need right from it,
haven't turned on my pc in about 3 days, on fibre optics and 802.11n router, I burnt through 400gb on my bandwidth last month xD)

I love this phone no doubt despite the lines problem i notice sometimes. But you actually get used to it.

Least you got a white obe xD telus didn't have any when I exchangex my first one, which they didn't have any then... and probably don't now...

Love the phone, I get bored pretty easily but have had this phone for a while now. Maybe it's the wait to see what ROMs come out of it (knowing Eugene is working on cm7 is great). Maybe it's just that there really isn't anything better at the moment for me.
Also as far as I know, Telus never got the white SII X

I love this phone, even with touchcrap and lack of ICS/CM (for now) its great. I'm excited to see CM 7 better supported soon and eventually CM9, that will be a great day for me lol.
As for the lines and blobs...after flashing newer kernels with updated skyrocket drivers it is reduced quite a bit.

Ye I love the lil things in crapwizz like turning of auto brightness and holding the status bar to adjust, and other **** like that, the GUI is to big in my opinion, icons are huge, fun to theme though, got CS5 so pngs are really fun
CM9 will definitely please a lot of people that's for sure, I just want drivers its pretty bad when I can build ICS for my old ass 3g lg (fun times.. good old days..) and I can dev all I want but its useless without proper sources xD
Those with like first edition s2x are probably having the blobs worse, samsung being cheap again, (look at the nexus..)
Find an excuse to RMA, that aughta do it
@christ1119
Ye it sucks... they look ballin woulda looked weird in a ballistics case though I guess..

I, too, love this phone. There's not a phone on the market I would rather being using.
It's got the best hardware of any current phone (except the Skyrocket, and that's the same phone for all intents and purposes since I'm not on AT&T).
Only thing I miss from it is AOSP ROMs, but that's just software, and those will come in time.
Nice to see some positiveness on this forum.

I was just about to order a galaxy nexus and this thread is holding me off for a bit.lol

I effin love this phone as stated in this thread it does everything i need it to and more. The fact that it is a qualcomm does not bother me it is more then capable of tearing anything u throw at it up. And as far as the lines go i dont see them even on low setting nor do i care to look for them. I think this phone hulk smashs every phone out there and can only imagine how much fasrer it will be when we do get ics and use the processor to its full potential coupled with true hw accelaration. I cant wait

Couple screenies....i think this is my new setup for awhile
Heres lockscreen and home screen

if ur on tmobil, this device gives you the best overall performance/network experience.
the original sgs2 has.better hardware but cant do dual band hspa+ 42mbps.

I agree with everything in the OP, to be honest, I had issues with GB and bugs on my other devices like my G2x (major issues on that, didn't wanna root it cause the dual core was pretty awesome but still did because of the ****ty stock rom). But ever since I switched to my SGS2, although being different from the original, no update to ICS in sight anytime soon, I'm least bothered by it, this is probably the most complete and bugless stock rom I've had on any device, I don't mind touch wiz one bit, know others don't like it but it's cool by me, there is a few things I wish I could change on it but ey it works, it's smooth and all the neat little features are actually pretty sweet. I actually use the default apps for just about everything, the response and performance is awesome compared to my previous phones (G2x response was pretty nice too btw just crappy bugs), only thing I had an issue with is my gps signal being lost at times or taking a while to lock on, but I kinda figured out why since it only happens in certain areas where I live, other than that, I'm pleased and loving my phone, not in much of a hurry for ICS since I can do everything I need to on the current system software and data speeds are awesome and the camera takes beautiful pics, what more could I ask for?
(Wish we had a little more support on accessories though, like cases and stuff like iPhones do, I have about 10 cases to choose from, most being plain, they have a bloody wall full of 'em in all designs and patterns you could think of, unfair much? Lol)

[Q] OG-ers, what's your next device?

I have been considering Evo 4G LTE, the One, LG Optimus G.
What about YOU?

The One is definitely a good choice. I got the Evo LTE last November, and I don't regret it at all. If you want to save $100, choose the LTE. HOWEVER, the long term benefits surely goes to the One
______________________________
HTC Evo 4G LTE

99.99% sure I'm heading to the HTC One eventually.

Yeah, we'll see what happens. I might end up at AT&T, but I won't know for sure for about at least a month, so I'll be with this device a little longer than expected. But, that's not necessarily a bad thing.
I'll probably end up with the One.

Im going the HTC one as its a flagship. the evo was a flagship witch is why it was sutch a damn beast for so long ^^.
i already got my one its coming either today or tommorow and im extremely impatiently excited XD. had to convince my father on the one though he wanted to get the s4 x_x quickly showed him why not too.
~reasoning i did not want to go with s4
1. i dislike samsung ಠ_ಠ
2. dont like the look of the s4's design
3. the s4 has a plastic body, one has a metal body(aluminium but still....)
dont take my reasons the wrong way the s4 is a good phone. its just there are better roms for the HTC one in my opinion atleast.

This rarely happens on XDA, but honestly, I completely agree. The S4 may have more bells and whistles, maybe a little bit faster of a processor, but it's nothing you would notice.
Also, if you take in the hardware, software, and everything together: I truly believe that the One has a better build quality all across the board and is a better phone.

its display has better brightness on it. its 1080x1920 super LCD display AND its got amazing audio on it.
went with the one because what i experienced from most phones in sunlight you cant see the damn screen XD on the one witch its better display you can...kinda havnt actually tried as i get to send my damn phone back before i even got it out of its box." tmobile goofed some things up" the i get to wait another 6 days >.> for it in the mail.
there alot of selling points that sold me in the htc one not just the body material or the screen or the audio.
ALSO, the s4 and one have the same CPU but they can both be overclocked ive heard people say that they have gotten the one clocked above 1.9ghz :3 however thatd take a massive toll on the 2300mAh battery XD

My next device is the Sprint Galaxy S3, which I just bought on eBay. I'll use it daily and for ROM building. This means I'll quit building for the OG (almost completely) before the end of the week.

Lol, but in all seriousness that just means myself and others will have to step up!! Thanks for all the work you've done for the OG, man!!

Im still on the EVO OG lol still running well minus the speaker sounds like crap. I honestly dont feel a need to upgrade yet since 4gLTE is not even available in this area....Once 4g LTE is up and running solid I will upgrade. I find my EVO OG with a custom ROM runs pretty well compared to even phones that are new...Sprint hurry up with that 4gLTE service...

They are horribly slow with this rollout, aren't they?
One of the many reasons I will most likely end up going to AT&T by the end of the year.

Moto XFON, anyone?
I really like to hear about the Moto X, and today more stuff leaked. Maybe we'll be hearing something tomorrow as this teaser ad talks about the 4th of July and 'Merica.
The concept excites me, and I hope that they release more soon. Here's the full read.

This Rollout?! WHat about the original EVO 4g rollout? Lol I never even had 4g in my area so Im not upgrading to a 4gLTE phone until its 100% in this area or Im switching carriers.
