Didn't think I'd flirt with a horizontal slide-out, but this one looks pretty interesting...as usual though, depends on the dev support

physical keyboard for the loss.
Too each their own and i guess this could fill a niche....but I hate sliders....i have yet to see one that doesn't compromise the structural integrity and durability of a device (hell some of them even feel loose and wobbly out of the box much less after 6 months to a year of usage). Plus....i feel in landscape mode the onscreen keyboards on the captivate and many of the new larger screen devices are as fast, accurate, and functional as any of the physical keyboards i have tested.
i am waiting the month out to see what develops with the Prime.
If it doesn't come to ATT is will either go with the SGSII or wait out the III which could be 1st quarter 2012.
For me a physical keyboard would make me pass even on a nicely spec'd out device.
Why did they give it the Captivate name? It looks identical to the Fascinate... Silly AT&T branding
No thanks

The Captivate is the Honda Civic of smart phones. They're probably just capitalizing on its good name. I have to wonder, though, how many people will associate the name with a bad GPS and avoid it.
[rant]people who ***** about gps need to learn about these new little inventions called MAPS!!!
ffs this society is loosing all data retention "i dont need to remember this i can google it, i dont need to know my way around i've got gps" whats 2+2? hang on lemme get my calculator![/rant]
The original captivate was a really nice phone to play with and it was pretty damn tough. If this has the same build quality I'd get if I needed a new phone.

If I'm paying for a GPS, it should work. PERIOD. The box the phone came in says it has a GPS, so I expect it to work. If the GPS in my $200 phone can't tell me where I am on a sunny day, I have a problem with that.
GPS and Google's turn-by-turn navigation are one of the big reasons I chose Android. I travel all over the place for work, and I'm not about to hit up a travel store on every trip to purchase a local street map for $10 when I can get instant directions to wherever I need to go, complete with traffic info, right on my phone.
After a trip to PA with my boss using his Droid X GPS, I was excited to get an Android phone. Except that I got a Captivate that took 15 minutes to tell me I was in the next town from where I actually was. Sorry if it disturbs your zen-like bliss, but I felt that I had been tricked, and I wasn't happy about it.
I don't use GPS because I'm an idiot. I use GPS because it saves me a lot of time and hassle when I'm someplace unfamiliar. I used to draw maps for a Civil Engineering firm...I can certainly read one.
Maybe you don't get out of your own neighborhood very often and have no real use for a GPS. Maybe you have a photographic memory and have every road in the US etched in your gray matter. Some of us have to fly to Arizona or California, Drive to Pennsylvania or into DC, or travel to some other place we've never been before with little to no notice. Some of us even go on vacation once in a while and don't know where anything is. Why would I spend money on a map when Google Maps and turn-by-turn navigation are available at no extra cost?
Just because something isn't important to you doesn't mean it's not important or useful to others...or that their reasons aren't legitimate. People are stupid because they're stupid. Not because they choose one tool over another.
Cant Wait
Been waiting for this phone for 2 years.... not been a decent QWERTY on android. still sat with my TP2.
a couple of things been causing me to scratch my head.
Why is the Power/USB at the top on these newer devices? makes docking a pain.
Why no TAB button? surely a really useful button to have on a qwerty.
and my last question/food for thought, not related to just this Phone, Why no Biometrics’ for security? surly with some for the intended use of NFC security will need beefing up.
either way as soon as it appears on Clove I’ll be ordering

yes i think he just tore studacris's.
[rant]isn't it somewhat ironic to rant about people utilizing technological advancements/tools in a smartphone forum?
I mean say for example studacris cellphone was plagued with poor reception...would he be just in griping or complaining about the devices deficiency? His rant would be akin to someone responding to that with "what..what you want good reception...haven't you ever heard of a landline?" Or pointing out the fact that cellphones and their contact storage and dial by contact/name have all but caused a large percentage of people to not even have their closest loves ones phone #'s memorized.[rant]
p.s. putting "rant" before and after my rant was tongue in cheek to highlight that apparently in addition to not knowing how to add 2+2 without a calculator people have lost the ability to utilize sarcasm and/or properly rant without specifically telling people that it is in fact a rant. =)~

I've got a 13 month old Kaiser 110 (HTC 8900) that I've been trying to convince myself to replace with a Touch Pro variant for months - finally I have 2 decent excuses (USB connection is starting to go, and sliding touchscreen is developing a bad connection as well), but because of the nature of my business (military), of course I would prefer a non camera phone, comparable to what I already have.
So I was watching very carefully for the non camera version of the tilt 2, and the day I saw it I was shouting it from mountaintops...

Problem is, my phone (@ the time) worked just fine, and I couldn't justify spending the 350.
Now, you can buy the tilt 2 w/cam @ the AT&T store (regular version) for 250, or less after rebates or other promotions - less than that by far at other places - If you have access to an exchange (military or veterans) than you can literally get them to pay you - It's free after rebate, and they have a program that will pay you to turn in just about any mobile phone - they've offered me 67 for my TYTN II.
Military Wireless Center
I'd really rather buy a version with the camera, saving myself a ridiculous amount of money, and remove the camera myself - and I've found a few procedures to dismantle:
here
here
and here
and I found an excellent Touch Pro camera removal guide, thanks to Mike Channon
I still can't bite the bullet without knowing a bit more - please chime in if you have a non camera version:
Did you remove it yourself? If so, how?
Whichever version you may have, what does the back look like? on the 8900, ATT simply put a black blanking panel where the lens cover would be.
I've been thinking about buying a second panel (like this) and using a plastic putty, or JB weld to fill the hole, and then prime and paint - whats the back made out of?
Hopefully this post will at least help some veterans get a good deal on a great phone, but if anybody has done this, or is even considering it (or has a non camera version w/pics) hopefully we can get together and come up with a cheap, safe solution.
Thanks
Val (Kevin M.)
just buy the cameraless phones back cover and pretend like you dont have a camera phone. >.>
Do you not see the non-camera version of the Tilt 2 on AT&T's site? When I log in to my account and shop for phones (which takes me to AT&T's Premier site because I have a company discount) it shows me both a camera and non-camera version of the Tilt 2 for the same price.
Coincidence that I see this thread today. I just bought on Ebay a Non Camera Tilt 2 by accident. Seller was either deceptive or accidental but the auction said camera in the normal specs but when I got the new in box phone it had no camera. The seller is selling more like this and after I brought it to his attention he modified his other ongoing auctions. So I am trying to resolve this with the seller before I start an EBay dispute.
Also I am in the military but I want the camera for MMS purposes so I want a big partial refund or its going back.
Sorry kinda off topic but beware of angelyno55.

I see both as well on Premier...but $538 no contract from ATT. I am not eligible for upgrade so I don't know how much with 2/yr
Yes, I saw it on premier - 350 as i'm eligible for upgrade - but seeing as that's the only place you can get it NC, and you can get the reg. version for free.... It just seems like 350 is an insane price to pay when maybe we can get together as a community and come up with a better solution.
what the big deal if it has a camera, and who wouldn't want a camera. the one i have is great for the tp2
Must admit that I fail to see the logic in this either.
If you don't want a camera on your phone, then that's fine, but butchering your new phone to remove the TWO cameras (don't forget the video conference camera on the front) on it is going to void the warranty.
Further, any DOD (or commercial workplace come to that) place that prohibits cameras as part of the security regime is more than likely going to prohibit the use of cellular phones as well - this was the regime in use fifteen years back when I worked at such a place for the MoD here in the UK, and all you did was lock up your phone in your locker before entering the sensitive spaces.
So, if that's the form where you are, you're sorted. If not, hint: buy two phones, one of them a cheap unbranded/unlocked job, and transfer the SIM card as required: one'll be your work phone, the other your fun phone.
Hope the above helps

sorry to say that though the DOD allows cell phone use pretty much everywhere it does not reasonably pose a safety hazard, it permits cameras virtually nowhere - and in the case of the Navy for example, cell phones are permitted to be taken underway with you, but cell phone cameras are not.
If you had to disappear for months at a time, wouldn't you want to take your TP2 with you?
(p.s. I believe U.S. TP2 variants have only 1 camera - I guess America doesn't believe in the conference call. I don't get it either)

I am Army and I ran into the no phone no matter what even if camera less....but I don't deal with Navy much. Very interesting but I can see the need to forbid camera phone on a ship. BTW I sent you a PM.
I am in the Air Force... and I am not allowed to bring my cell phone, camera, ipod anything that could store information on it and leave with me, into my work place... But I live on base and can have my phone (with camera) anywhere I want EXCEPT my workplace... Even when I deployed it was the same. I have never heard of any rules like that on any base I have ever been on... Hmmmm... I wouldn't like that very much! lol

It's not just a military restriction. My company does contract/consulting work for the pharmaceutical industry, and for years we were told by clients "no camera phones in our facility". So, our IT dept had to lend us non-camera phones for trips to client sites. (or, since there were no strip-searches at the gate, we just had to be careful to keep our camera-phones out of sight)
USA-version phones don't have the front camera as there is no video calling on USA networks.

Well, as long as they don't know you have it, no harm no foul. And you could take pictures of various things and sell them for lots of cash to North Korean agents.
Understand
There are 2 issues here actually.
1) If you take out the camera you leave the water sensor in the phone open as well (there are 6 moisture sensors in the TP2) Hense you will have a voided warranty from HTC and or carrier.
2) Even if you remove it and somehow do not void your warranty.. You will still have all the camera software that is built into the phone. Hense still breaking policy.
Suggestion buy a replacement rear case assembly. Remove camera then use Total commander to remove all traces of any camera software. Lastly you do have 30 days return with most carriers. Try returning it.
Good Luck
To the sneaky suggestions in the upper comments,
Honor ,Ethics and Loyality mean everything .
I somewhat assume that with the Tilt 2, like with the original, AT&T probably just left the camera software in place - however on the original, it simply wouldn't start up after not being able to detect the camera.
However, I am happy to report that unlike the original Tilt, The battery cover of the non camera version of the Tilt 2 actually deletes the hole for the camera, vice just placing a black piece of plastic where a clear one should be - I get stopped and asked about that almost daily - if, I have a camera, if I had done that myself (not allowed), etc.
l4z3r: how is the camera electrically associated with a water sensor? or is that what you were trying to say at all?
(also, obviously if you are disassembling your phone, all warranties are out the windows, but I'd say that that is no means new territory for most members of xda-devs)

Please provide a link to a store that sells them as I would love to have one. Not even HTC or ATT sells them separate from a phone.
you know, i had been looking for pictures of the touch pro and touch pro 2 and their respective back covers just to see what they look like but cant find them. it makes me wonder if anybody has bought one.

not the best quality image, but I'll take more pics after it shows up tonight...
Is your back cover for sale?
negative.. went through a lot of trouble to get one (the whole phone I mean, not just the rear cover).
However my next thought was going to be to buy a gsm cover, buy the tilt 2, and modify, and paint the gsm cover using body filler or JBWeld, and painting it a flat black.
Until somebody decides to make them available for sale, that's the only way i can see doing the battery cover without actually purchasing a non camera rhodium (from AT&T Premier, the only provider I know of).
Hi guys,
My G1 will be out of contract very soon and I wanted to find out what experiences you'd had with your shiny new Desires.
Things like Battery Life...
Gps Reliability...
Ability to install non market Apps...
Whats the HD recorder Like.....
speed of the device.....
Any problems you've encountered...?
Overall thoughts....?
Should I buy a Desire really
Best value Smartphone I have ever bought (and I buy about 3 a year). I suspect its not as good as the Vivaz for HD video recording and the battery life is probably not as good as the Nokia E52 but overall with all the features taken into account it is the best Smartphone on the market today. I can't believe its so cheap - UK prices can as low as £390 SIM free and even on contract you can get one for a little as £404 when you take account of all the costs. The two areas where it excels is speed and screen quality.
For me, it was more than worth buying. I'm actually saving money from the old O2 contract I was on. I'll have actually recouped the upfront cost of my Desire after the first 14 months of my new two year contract with T-mobile.
I couldn't afford to NOT switch.
For specific issues, they are all over the forum. Beware of issues that don't concern you like battery issues of people who literally browse and play media most of the day.
If you want the media critical view...
Choice quotes:
Simply the best smartphone available today.
Trusted Reviews
As for the Nexus One, ... we prefer the Desire...
Engadget
They said that the Nexus One took the smartphone to a new level and the term 'superphone' has been used a few times. If that's the case then I don't know what superlative I would use for the HTC Desire. Uber-phone perhaps?
Tracy and Matt
An even more desireable Nexus One
Gizmodo
In short, this is a phenomenal phone...
TechRadar
The number one phone available in the world today. ... it's like a Nexus One only better.
TechRadar
Much has been made of the fact that the HTC Desire is really Google's much-touted Nexus One. But, truth be told,... the Desire has several features that mark it out as superior not just to Google's smart phone debut, but also to the vast majority of smartphones available on planet earth.
The Register
If that doesn't indicate if it's "worth buying", I'm guessing you may have specific requirements. (I actually had this list pre-prepared for a friend who got the Nexus One saying it's better - hence the inclusion of many Nexus One references!)
It's not perfect, but it's great now, and has great potential for the future.
It seems to me that the desire is a great phone. Possibly the first to really comprehensively deliver on the promise of Android (responsiveness, full flash browser soon, good hardware, nice form factor, what I currently believe to be the best phone operating system). It will be, quite rightly, a massive seller.
Unfortunately it lacks a front facing camera, which is a dealbreaker for me.

worth it? yes i mean i'm a student (15) earn just over £150 a month so doing the sums takes about 3 months for me to save enuf for this phone considering the odd penny i spend here and there, and yes this phone is worth it amazing screen and all. when i tell people i spent £400 on a phone they are like , but i just reply by saying you wouldn't be saying that if i'd bought and iphone, i tend to just stop there and not go into depth about how this phone runs rings round the iphone, my dad has an iphone he's had it for literally a few months, and he's already like, so what other phone can you get on android? does it do exchange support? anyways i think that may have explained my point well enuf.
if your still in doubt heres your answer
GET IT NOW!
You'd piss yourself if you saw the phone I had at 16...lol!!
My phone at your age was this:
http://mobiles.users.netlink.co.uk/mot_mr1.htm
It was good at the time, except for the 4 hour standby IF you didn't make calls which were all chargeable on top of the monthly fee!
Anyway back to 2010.... the Desire is amazing and totally worth getting.
Sure it has a few bugs as posted here and on MoDaCo but these are mostly minor and will probably be resolved in the coming weeks/months.
I have just gone back to my Hero and it seems SO much slower and less responsive..
The same is true for apps which launch and run so much faster thanks to the 1 Ghz chip.
The Desires screen is a dream in comparison, so much more responsive and the size makes nternet browsing much easier.
Indoor shots taken using the camera also show a massive improvement, not upto dedicated camera standards, but much better!
So, would I recommend it..... definitely!

It was awful in comparison to what we have now! At the time it was what was available.
The poor battery life and expensive call costs (especially cross network) meant I rarely made calls on it... from memory Oranges reception at the time was almost non existent so to make up for it they gave customers a free cinema pass for the year.
My nearest cinema was 15 miles away so I used to wait for several films to come out then spend a whole day watching them back to back. Happy days!

When I was 16 I went to a phonebox if I was out, or used one of those BT calling card thingies! Didn't have a mobile til I was over 20!
But I do remember my Mum having one of those 'Trendy & High-Tech' Motorola phones on Cellnet!
well I know this is off topic but Is it acceptable for me to say I'm one of the only 15 year olds to have the worlds most powerful phone?

Hey guys!
First off, im new to this forum so i just wanted to say whats up...
Well, i ordered my G2 a couple days ago (it should be here tomorrow) and i have been reading alot of the topics and comments here..
-4 gb internal memory missing
-loose hinges
-hspa is not whats expected
-camera features
-no wifi tethering.....
i sold my vibrant on craigslist and got this phone... Is there anyone thats actually happy and satisfied with this phone??
Thanks everyone!!
-Mike
I am.
- tasker.
Yeah it is a really great phone. It has some quirks but none that are serious, but what phone doesn't. Overall solid phone and the good far outweighs the bad.

I'm quite happy with it.
My hinge is not springloaded, but the design of the hinge works so that you have to be holding it almost perfectly upside down for it to flip, and the way I hold it in bed has my fingers ever so slightly on the edge of the screen holding it in place.
HSPA+ is nice, if you have the coverage.
The phone rocks at 800MHz, I can't wait until it's rooted so we can see how it fares at 1GHz.
Tethering will come with root. Don't really care about wifi tethering, USB is good for me.
Wifi reception is also much improved over my G1.
I am extremely happy with this phone ! Keep in mind most of the comments
you will hear are 90-10 . Thats 90% bad and 10% good . Just a reminder to
not get too worried about it because thats just the way people are
Coming from the Vibrant, I will say that I loved th escreen size on it, as well as the slimmer form factor. That being said, the lack of led notifications, a camera flash, non-functioning gps (even with "fixes", it was half-ass at best), no trackball (which made placing the cursor at specific points bewteen words very difficult), and Samsung's seeming unwillingness to commit to a hard deadline for a fix to any of the software issues described here and eslewhere, let alone a definite date for a 2.2 update, had made me nostalgic for an HTC device.
Unfortunately, when I got the Vibrant, my wife became the proud new owner of my carefully kept, rooted, booted, and scooted Nexus One, so I was stuck.
Personally, I really like it. It's like a Nexus one with a keyboard, without the colored trackball, with a faster processor, an edge-lit trackpad, slightly more girth, and a better gpu.

It is a solid phone. Think of it as a N1 with a kisk-ass keyboard!
I am a happy camper.

i love my G2, it performs far better than what I expected it to be.
-Almost everyone is in the 4GB memory debacle - I am sure T-mo/HTC will address this issue
- i am one of the lucky ones, my hinge is not loose when I hold the upside down.
-You have to give HSPA sometime.... only a fraction of their network is under FULL HSPA..... and its given that over time that network will only become stronger and wider.
-Camera is good enough for me, really I am not expecting to shoot pro videos but I have been satisfied with what it shoots.
-wifi, thats just a matter of time until ROOT/ROM business starts and we can have wifi tethering as easy as cake

thanks bro. i was actually a little worried about the screen flipping over on me. i was just imaging myself texting and constantly having to deal with that issue. lol
I love the phone, and thats coming from a g1 --> mytouch --> nexus -->G2
I admit I was leery when I went to purchase my phone at Radio Shack. I made the guy open the box so I could see this hinge issue. I realized it's not an issue. Just a different style of hinge which works really well. I guess people were surprised that if you hold the phone upside down by solely the keyboard the weight would pull the hinge down.. once I actually had it in my hands it didn't seem like a glitch or anything, and it's actually something you have to do intentionally and rather carelessly imo. Why would you risk holding the phone upside down by just the keyboard? Unless you're asking for the thing to snap in half.
The hinge thing was my biggest concern, (cuz I use my phone laying down in bed) but once I saw that it was blown out of proportion I went for it. If you hold the phone you see how difficult it is to seperate the screen from the KB without doing so purposefully.
I have HSPA in my area and am amazed at how fast it is. It's like constant wifi.
I was surprised they had it here (Albany NY) because we were like the last city to get 3G.
The 2gig 4gig thing didn't bother me, I just figured it was a typo. And we're not talking Ram or Rom here... it's just storage space. You get an 8gig card and my G1 had 256mbs internal storage, so 2gigs should be more than enough for 99% of users. I didn't care about that at all. In fact I rarely look at internal storage on android devices since they all take SD cards and you can install apps on SD. But i guess I see how some people would feel gyped out of their "GeeeeBeeees."

Thanks for the reply bro!
I actually use my phone alot while laying down so im glad that it wont be a problem as i thought it would..
oh man i never knew i could store my downloaded apps on my MSD card... how would i go about doing that?
love it - came from a vibrant and was worried i'd miss the vibrant's screen - lol, haven't even thought about it since pulling the G2 off the charger
last night i deleted all the folders i'd filled with instructions on how to root, using odin and samsung's buggy "kies" software - ain't going back to the vibrant
and yesterday l left this valley i'm located in (blocks good signal) and found HSPA+ svc 1/2 mile up the road - pulled 6.8Mbps D/L speed - now i've got to get a wireless repeater so i can pull HSPA+ here at home
Also as you can see from my Sig the HSPA+ works like a champ.

Haha.. Yeah i think the only thing i really liked about the vibrant was the screen.. but to be honest it looked really unrealistic.. and it freaking ate my battery as if it was a buffet!!
Okay so don't nobody want to talk about what they don't like... Well here's mines comparing it to the epic 4g
The phone (4G touch) is the coldest out, just want to put that out there.
The graphics or camera don't meet the expectations as a part2 of this phone.
that's the only thing I can say thats wrong with this phone...
I'm not trolling, just giving my opinion.
Just got the phone today so don't cuss me out because I said this.
But still again I'm still playing with it.

Graphics or camera?!?
I think you nedx to play nova 2 hd and take a few 1080p videos and then check back in....
The camera is the best I seen on a phone (in person)
And graphics are amazing... Better than any dual core phone imo

trow-uhllllll
Aside from the fact that when I read OP I was all like "what is this I don't even", if we are to assume that he intends to take exception with the "graphics or camera" I must profess, with as stiff an upper lip as I can muster, that I would prefer he were to GTFO with his trolling.
If by some peculiar stretch of the internet's good will OP has truly spoken with veracity of his mind and thoughts, well, I think it goes without saying that the sooner his opinion be disregarded the better.
I've never seen a better cellphone camera, hands down, ever. I'm pretty blown away. So far as "graphics" are concerned--as vacuous as such a statement is--we'll assume he means anything to do with 3D graphic rendering and/or reproduction. Also the finest performance I've ever seen on a cell phone. Sure, it isn't qHD, but if that is a surprise to you it would suit you well to stop purchasing bleeding edge smartphones without knowing what the hell you are talking about.
The bad:
Supplies charging cable too short.
I guess no phone can be perfect
My dislike is the screen wake lagg, and which will just doubtedly be fixed in a rom or kernel and it won't make me any food??? I'm waiting though..
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
I just wish this phone was able to make me a sammich and get me a beer.
The camera is pretty sweet, though the Epic was good too. (My N8 smashes it, but then again that's that phone's main selling point.)
I haven't used it long enough to check out the radios, but it seems like Samsung pulled it together.
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
I agree - the bad being the shortest charging cable I've ever seen! Barely reaches the top of the nightstand...
Fortunately easily solved on Amazon - actual Samsung branded car charger cord for $4, home charger with longer cord for $6, $1.50 for a longer Samsung USB cable...
I was also disappointed that it didn't come with a micro SD card. My buddy's DroidX I think has 16gb onboard, and came with a 16gb card too. To me, 16gb onboard is more than I need, but for a "superphone" dolled up with all these extras and details, figured they wouldn't go cheap on the power cord and no SD card.
I'm only partly disappointed that the screen resolution isn't 960x540 like the Bionic and a few others. It's not really any disadvantage, and I'd easily pick the rich colors and ridiculously black blacks over a higher res anyday - so much easier on the eyes. But mostly on principal - I'm still shaking my head that the iPhone 4 has been out so long, and it should have been 3 weeks (I'm exaggerating) before other phones came out with screens of either similar pixel density or resolution. It's not rocket science, and Apple does all their manufacturing through contract manufacturers for this stuff... a true OEM like Samsung should be able to nail that one pretty easily, right?
Also saw some GPS numbers on another thread that showed only ho-hum GPS reception... the comparison phone walked all over it. But (to stay positive), if there was a radio/antenna to skimp out on, I'm glad it was this one.

I much prefer this phone over my 3D for many reasons. I can't think of an existing phone I'd rather have but I will say
The EVO 3D got better data speeds for me - that is based on regular test in the same location.
I prefer sense but that is a matter of opinion.
This thing seems to take longer to charge than any phone I've had using the AD charger.

I took a picture with my old Epic and then my wife took the same pic with her Nexes 4G and I compared all pic's and the Epic 4G and Nexes 4g had better pic quality than my new Epic 4G touch.

Agreed!
My only other complaint is the phone doesn't store my screen timeout settings through reboot nor my contact shortcuts using buddy now. After every boot I have to change this again. It is a bit frustrating. Anyone else having that issue? Other than these mentioned things the phone is amazing and I will have a hard time getting anything else for quite some time I think.

I agree I love this phone but the data speeds are a little low. I got with full bars of 4g on my evo 3d 2200 kbs and on my epic touch I am lucky to get 1100 kbs that is the main thing I see wrong or that I dont like about this phone. But that can be easily fixed with a radio update like they did on the 3d.

I was a little disappointed that the E4GT will not walk my dog for me. I hear the new quad core phones coming out in Q1 2012 will and I can't wait for that. Other than that, this phone blows away anything else I have had....and I have had them all......
For those of you who often wonder about the implications of using the Verizon PRL and struggle with poor Sprint service, here is a little story.
I finally got my warning letter after using 0001 for about 4 or 5 months. What surprised me is that I also got a courteous call in which a Sprint rep reminded me of Sprint's roaming policies.
I kindly pointed out that I barely have any data or voice service at my home, which is essentially true. The rep verified my claim, and actually offered me a contract termination without fees as an OPTION. I took the offer, and I am now an ATT SGSII owner. I have full service at my home, and often see dl speeds of 4-8 mbps in my general area on their HSPA+ network.
And so in the end, if you are a Sprint customer struggling with poor service...I really have to recommend using 0001.

I get about 20-25 Mbps up and down with my wifi. And the ping is something like 30ms.
Can your ATT beat that?
I use 1115 so I'll roam when I need it. I don't think I'd last long on a tiered plan without getting dinged with $500 bill sometime. Especially since ATT likes to encourage you to consume data more than usual. Its not like im downloading ROMs or watching movies when I'm out and about.
They could have sent you a airave, problem solved.

this is a stupid response because 1) he obviously doesn't care about how fast his data speed is INSIDE his house where he is most likely using his computer connected to broadband internet anyways; 2) any idiot could've assumed he cares more about data speeds when he's out and about with friends; 3) even if he didn't have broadband internet at home and was tethering his phone data, then all the MORE reason to use ATT instead of Sprint.

How do you like the AT&T SGS2 compared to the E4GT? I switched to AT&T because of their data speeds and am trying out the iPhone 4S right now, still have 2 weeks to decide which phone I want to go with. I might just keep this thing and buy a used SGS2 off craigslist and switch between the two depending on mood.

Its fine, a lateral move really. I miss the notification light though. The slightly smaller screen is a toss up. Word has it that ICS will be hitting the ATT SGSII Q1 2012. How do you like the Iphone right now? I almost thought of getting it, but the SGSII is such an awesome device.
Aside from a couple minor (and one MAJOR) complaints, I like it quite a bit. I really thought I was going to hate it, my original intention was to only keep it for a couple weeks and then swap it out for an SGS2 but it has really grown on me. My only real complaint is about Siri. It sucks. I used to use voice commands all the time on android and I feel like that ability is all but lost. Aside from that, I really like the simplicity of iOS, games on it are bad ass (save for the small screen), and the phone itself is beautifully designed and built.

My only real complaint is about Siri. It sucks. I used to use voice commands all the time on android and I feel like that ability is all but lost. Aside from that, I really like the simplicity of iOS, games on it are bad ass (save for the small screen), and the phone itself is beautifully designed and built.

Do you miss the larger screen at all?

For some things. While the games on iOS are FAR superior to those on Android, playing them on such a tiny screen sucks, to be frank. I'll play MC3 on this thing and then play it on my E4GT and it does make me question what the hell I'm doing by switching phones. Internet browsing too just isn't the same. That said, it is nice to not have to do any type of finger acrobatics to reach every corner of the screen. And everything else is great. I thought texting was going to be a problem too but it isn't, the iOS keyboard I'm sorry to say is FAR better than any keyboard I've tried on Android. It's fast and accurate and the autocorrect isn't nearly as bad (or as funny) as all the screencaps floating around would lead us to believe.

I have to agree on the iOS keyboard, best one I have ever used.

My wife has the Skyrocket on the grandfathered plan & her data speeds kick my phones ass.

Its fine, a lateral move really. I miss the notification light though. The slightly smaller screen is a toss up. Word has it that ICS will be hitting the ATT SGSII Q1 2012. How do you like the Iphone right now? I almost thought of getting it, but the SGSII is such an awesome device.
