To Keep the T989 or Not, that is the Question? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

I am currently on the Telus network and have been using the Hercules for almost a year now. Fantastic phone, love the community and love all the development that has gone on and evolved with this phone.
I just saw today that Telus is currently offering the Galaxy S 3 for $0.00 on a 3 year contract. This leads to my next question. Should I stick with what I have, or switch my plan and upgrade to the S 3 for free?
Thoughts?

I would stick with the S2. Our phone can be just as fast as the stock S3 with custom ROMS.

That's very true. My wife has the S3 unrooted and my phone runs smoother, especially on an AOSP ROM.
I wonder how fast the S3 runs on a custom ROM though, I would assume even faster than ours.
I would have to check with the provider though, I think if I still have time on my contract I may have to pay out my device balance to upgrade, if so then there is no point in upgrading. I am content with what I have, but for $0 to upgrade, I would be compelled to do so.

Is your phone under-performing? Are you unable to run any apps that you want from the play store? If your answer is no! To any of those questions then I would hold in to the T989 and see what else comes out around the holidays

Ya I have zero issues with the T989, love it. Just saw the S3 for $0 and got excited LOL.
Although the Note 2 or the next Nexus device is more interesting to me. Thanks for your response.

I don't think the North American version of the S3 is enough of a hardware upgrade to sign a 3 year contract on, especially with more impressive devices on the horizon. If there isn't anything concrete about a Nexus phone on T-Mo or AT&T by the time the Note 2 drops, I'll probably grab that.

I have NO CONTRACT! xD

Despite how much or how little you can get another phone for if you feel like a change then do it. If I had an opportunity to get an S3 for $0 I would definitely do it no question! In another year or two the S2 is going to be ancient anyways and despite what anybody says, they're all going to upgrade eventually as technology gets better.
What's the worst?? You'll sign a 3 year contract..... Is that it??? Unless you're going to switch carriers anytime soon that shouldn't even be an issue.
The decision is all yours but if it was me.... I would HANDS DOWN!!

Would you buy it again?

Ok guys, here's my "delimma". I have an upgrade available to me. I've been wanting a gs2 since it came out in Europe. I had every intention of getting this within the first week it came out on tmo. BUT, reading about all the issues with lines on the screen, resolution, etc, I'm skeptical. It's basically going to be this phone or I'll cancel my line (I'm on a family line). I havent had a chance to play with one in person yet. So, in the meantime, I'm trying to gather opinions on the phone.
With all that being said, if you had a chance to relive Wednesday or whatever day you bought the gs2, would you buy it again?

yup! I love the phone. More so then the G2X.
I would for sure. I think it's the best phone on T-Mobile and T-Mobile is the cheapest out of the major wireless providers for me.
I am eligible for an upgrade to my iPhone 3GS from AT&T. Picked up a Galaxy S II and ported my number over to TMO. Almost everything about this phone is better than my old iPhone. Couldn't be happier. Oh, and I'm paying less for my plan, too!
Yep, I can relate to some. I tried the epic 4g touch version on sprint. If I could swap the internals with that it would be more awesome. As it stands though, once root is here and I can tether I'll be stoked. As of right now I'm happy with it. It feels solid and has a professional look and feel to it.

I'm going to give it a try again. The SGS2 was the phone I wanted from the git go. Sounds like the ones with the least amount of problems are the 9/28 boxes.
I'm going to give it one more chance tomorrow after I get off of work and I'll keep it over the weekend. I honestly really want to love the SGS2.

How much "buy-back" money for the S2? Maybe buy-back money will offset some of the contract buy-out fee and then its worth getting. I love my E4GT but I could get much better pics of my kids with the S3.

I'm kinda on the fence about it.
I played with a customer's that brought one in from pre-order the other day. While the new Nature UX looks amazing and the device is smooth as butter, the size is a deal breaker for me. It's too large for my hands (twss). I almost fumbled and dropped it. :x
I'll probably stick with my Epic Touch for now and wait for ICS kernel sources so that I can get amazeballs battery life on AOKP. I'm rather enjoying this ROM.

I haven't compared the actual pics and videos but essentially the s3 has the same camera as the s2, just faster and with more options. People should really take the time to read the posts in the s3 section. Many people are reporting issues that shouldn't be happening with a new phone. Many are discovering that it really is just a s2.5. It's also experiencing lots of LOS (loss of service). If you REALLY want one, it would be wise to wait until the problems get ironed out in a real update. I'm not talking about the little security update that's going to get pushed to the sprint version on sunday.

I said all this once specs were announced it's the lte version of the s2. It's basically the same phone. The performance difference shouldn't be noticed. It certainly isn't worthy of my 2 year renewal as it's an equal gen phone to what we have now. Besides who can't wait 4 months for the nexus

From someone who has one, it's well worth it. It's nowhere near "basically the same".
sprint is releasing an LTE version arent they? I dont think LTE will be available until 2013 in my area. I cant see knowingly upgrading to lose 4g until the phone could be almost a year old.

Maybe well worth it if you are not coming from an s2. Upgrading to the s3 means you can't upgrade to a next gen phone. Next gen phones come out in q4 for Christmas season. It's like having an iPhone 4 and upgrading to a 4s sure it's nicer and more refined, but upgrades for most aren't yearly anymore and most would just wait for a true upgrade rather than some polishing.

I have owned every Android phone that T-MOUSA has ever released and by far this is the best of them all in every sense. This is the first Android phone that is buttery smooth from the box. I also have always hated Manufacturer UI overlays but have grown very fond of TW 4 or what ever it is called.
Ofcourse this is my personal opinion.

absolutely agree....This phone stock is badass and everything just works on top of that is buttery smooth. this is the first stock rom that I stayed on and said wow I could get used to this. I stayed on it for quite a while but then had to venture off to cm10 also our development is getting better by the day. Our cm10 based roms are pretty much daily drivers which is awesome cuz a lot of phones either have audio issues or data issues...again everything pretty much just works. The camera on this phone is so amazing especially in low light that definitely wowed me. To sum it all up it is the best phone on the market imo and the best t-mobile has ever had.... Just get it!!! No right now op get in your car and head to the nearest t-mobile store and grab this bad boy

The rest of the thread kinda caps the overall view of the phone and I'd be lieing to say anything other than perfection. Like mentioned a few times already its power and clarity is just amazing and it even makes you wonder if its even worth rooting from first impressions as this community has such an obvious influence over the systems functionality.
Multitasking is a breeze, it handles everything you throw at it and still offers more when you ask for it. Im glad I bought it as much as everyone else here does.

[Q] Planning an upgrade!

Let me start off with saying sorry if this is the wrong thread/forum to locate this:
I have an upgrade with AT&T that I can use and I am highly interested in the Galaxy S3, however I am more cautious than my last upgrade because I previously upgraded to the Nokia Lumia 900 and just a few weeks later, they released no windows 8 upgrade, etc for it. I am worried that if I plan to get the S3 somehow I will miss out on the next S4. I guess what I am asking is should I wait or go ahead with the upgrade. I am interested in it now, because I can get it for 149.99 and get a free $50 dollar credit to the google play store. Any advice would be great, thanks!
The S3 is a great phone with really good dev support. The S4 hasn't even been announced yet so that means it's going to be over 6 months before the US ever sees it. If I were you I would get the S3 now. At $150 +$50 play store credit that is a pretty decent deal.
We just got 4.1 jellybean and 4.2 (I think) is looking promising, hopefully. I mean, we still have approximately a year left of support from Sammy.

If any kind of SIV is releasing in April, it would be the international version, and even that is highly unlikely.
An announcement of the international version might come in April, but I highly doubt that the U.S variants will be in stores before June at the earliest.

If that's the case, I will most definitely not be purchasing it. I can only imagine the update delays when there are multiple carrier variants floating around. In fact, I think I'm done with carrier-branded phones altogether. As noted by another user, the GS3 is not going to become obsolete any time soon, so I may just hold out until the next Nexus, in hopes that it'll come with LTE. ::fingers crossed::
I think I am going to get it, best chance is now!

No idea xD If you are getting it from AT&T Chances are it's the SGH-I317. Which is our model. ROMs for our device and Tmo, and even teh N7105 will work on our phone. Something we don't have that I really wanna see? A MIUI Rom that has everything working. D:

The Note 2 original is the n7100 which is an international phone, our phone falls under the n7105 variants (which are all LTE-enabled devices which include N7105T, SGH-I317, SGH-T889, SGH-I317M, etc.) There is a porting guide to use a n7100 rom on our phones by madmack, but the rest of the devices rom work good on our phone.
Hmm kind of confusing. I'll look at my phone tomorrow when it comes in. I need to learn all the kernels and stuff for the note. Infuse only has 1 for jellybean lol

Yeah it can seem confusing at first. If your picking up from AT&T then you'll be getting the sgh-i317, but our last update is much older than more recent ones to the international variants, thus why some developers choose to use those firmwares as a base. Just shoot me a pm if you have any questions
I'm a former Infuse user as well. Getting a Note 2 was like taking a breath of fresh air.
While all the Jelly Bean ROMs brought new life to the Infuse, at the end of the day it was still and underpowered phone, and because of Samsung's unwillingness to support it, several things remained broken on it. I was more than happy to move on from that thing.
Apparently my phone isn't coming until Saturday even tho I paid for overnight shipping. Just another scam from att for extra $$. So pissed

That's a real bummer. I hate shipping times like that. I had to wait 2 weeks with a broken SGS2 (Always Charging Issue) until I finally got my Note 2 in the mail. They shipped it thru regular mail too D:
Wow. I feel a bit better now lol. I was just so excited to get it (friday).. Now wait another 3 days is going to be brutal lol

Call back a few more times they will credit your account. If one says no keep calling someone will say yes. I guarantee it will happen. Done it 3 tines over the years.

Demand a credit on your bill for the wait and inconveniences of the overnight shipping, they will give it to you.

This guy is right. You paid for overnight. You should get it exactly then. I always find a way to farm out money from them. When it was 300, I got 250 credit to my account using the Amazon dealio.
I'm excited to have another developer working our device and it's variants...
The section gets better every day...and I thank you for taking of your time and talent...to better our phones...g
