I really like the Droid X and Droid Incredible, but they are not offered for AT&T. The only thing I could find right now that I am interested besides the apple 4G, is the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10. Any recommendations, or inside news about upcoming models to AT&Ts lineup?
why not buy the phone and get a sim only contract?
Will the Droid X and Incredible work on AT&T's network?
no as far as i know there cdma, we need good gsm based phones, i heard theres some coming this month

I am stuck using AT$T as my provider currently. I want another android phone. I have a Moto Droid for work and love it.
Since the backflip is a POS, what other phones can be brought over to AT&T and work with 3G? I saw the progress on the iPhone, but would really rather a physical keyboard.
Thanks
AT&T only has 2 android phones available. The Dell Aero and the Moto Backflip. The Backflip being the one with a hard keyboard. They have HTC listed on their android page, but who knows when/if that will happen. I think I remember reading that they made Bing the default search provider for the Backflip. I don't know AT&T's policy on bringing unlocked phones onto their network, but you could get the international version of the Hero or something similar. I just rooted my Sprint Hero with the Fresh 2.0d ROM and it is like having a new phone. Once all the Sprint bloatware was removed it runs twice as fast. Unfortunately, none of the unlocked android phones support AT&T 3G, so you will be stuck on 2G. For a hard keyboard, your only option is an unlocked Motorola Milestone(newegg is out of stock).

Or get a Rogers Dream or Motorola Milestone from eBay if you want a physical keyboard and 3G on AT&T. Then it's just a matter of unlocking and rooting.
Of course, you need to be careful with Rogers. They have "patched" their Dream in such a way as to require a JTAG to root.

I am pretty sure the Milestone does not support AT&T 3G, only T-Mobile. The unlocked Nexus will support AT&T 3G, except for the minor hardware design problem where if you hold the phone the right way you can block the 3G radio. (See youtube, search "Nexus One 3G Problem")

HTC has 2 devices coming (one with a keyboard) Dell has one (dunno about the kb) and rumor has it that the Nexus One will be subsidized sometime soon for ATT.

This is correct, it does support AT&T 3G.
There is also a Nexus 1 designed to work with AT&T's 3G... but of course if you want a physical keyboard, no luck there.

The Dell offering (The "Aero") does not feature a physical keyboard.

I'm unaware of a 2nd HTC offering at this time...

My wife an I currently use some older nokia phones. I am planning on doing some Android development, so I would like to get a newer phone.
We currently have our service through AT&T. They seem to have the best coverage where I live (North-Central WI).
When I went to AT&T's site, and looked to upgrade they didn't have many android options to choose from: Motorola Backflip Silver, HTC Aria, or the Sony Ericsson Xperia.
They don't have much information on what version of android these phones run, etc.
I would consider other carriers if their coverage map isn't bad in my area. I am more concerned about getting a good android phone, suggestions?
I went to the AT&T store over lunch...looks like they have the Samsung Captivate available. That looks like a pretty good phone.
Any comments?
Just spent some time in St. Germain and had no problems there or the rest of the state with VZW. Can't say the same for the other members of the band on AT&T.
Proud to be a F.I.B.
Bears!
good day.
Before anyone says anything, I'm not here to talk trash about the Captivate. The Captivate was / is my first phone that led me into the android gateway.
I love the Captivate, but I was just wondering if there's any info on AT&T getting an android phone from HTC or Motorolla is the near future? (excluding the HTC aria and Motorola backflip).
I'm still a Captivate owner, but I would like to know my options if I do ever decide to return it to AT&T for a full refund. I'm currently on my 3rd Captivate because the first one had random shut downs, 2nd one had a dark yellow tint, and this one is perfect besides the fact that the 3 button download/recovery does not work.
If anyone has any insight on upcoming phones, please chime in. No flame wars please, thanks.
you may or may not have heard about the HTC press release a few days ago, theres 2 new versions of the desire, one has a keyboard with a 3.7in screen the other is basically a gsm version of Sprints evo, it remains to be saw which carriers will offer what

You mean the HTC Desire HD and HTC Desire Z?
I thought the HTC Desire HD was another version of the HTC Evo, but made for the rest of the world. I believe the frequency band would work for AT&T for voice, but as for data, it would be edge only, not 3G. That is what I read, I may be wrong though.
So my college didn't cancel my scholarship, and I have some extra money on my hand now that I want to buy a new phone with.
I have AT&T phone service, and I'm using an unlocked Xperia X1 with it.
I want to buy a new badass android preferably with a big screen, that uses SIM cards so I can use it on my AT&T network. I don't care about mechanical keyboards since I'll be using Swype, and 4G is a plus!
Suggest me some phones! gogogo!
Are there Phones that don't use SIM cards??
The HTC Thunderbolt looks all kinds of awesome and is coming soon.
CDMA phones like the Evo 4G doesn't use SIM cards.
HTC Desire Z and HD

I'm considering the HD, since it's decent.
Keep them recommendations coming!
There are a whole host of new devices coming soon, including dual core phones.
Have a look at sites like Android Community and read their coverage of the recent CES show. There were so many new high-end devices launched it makes my head spin!
Hello everyone,
As you can see I am a newbie and this is my first post. Excuse me if a thread like this was made before, but after searching on the web I recently found out that I can use my E71 sim card on AT&T phones. I would like people's opinion on which phone I should buy? I also hear from fellow students that CES 2012 just happend. Should I wait for the new phones or just purchase a phone that is out now?
Thanks and much appreciated
Depends what you want, how much you can afford a month and how much your willing to spend on a phone. If your looking for prepaid virgin mobile is good, they have the motorola triumph, htc wildfire s, lg optimus v, lg optimus slider and samsung intercept (all are android) look up some planes on the internet, at&t prepaid is good but metro pcs has nice 4g phones and android phones, I see you want to no whats the best phone from straigt talk, i dont no much about the phones but check out metro,virgin, and at&t
HTC Wildfire S (VM) "s-off" "rooted" Stock Rom
Well I just read up on how ST has a loop hole and you can use mainly AT&T phone and some T-Mobile phones with the right 3G frequencies. I was willing to spend no more than $250 for a phone, but I don't know how long the loop hole is going to be open so I don't want to spend a lot on a phone and it not work. I was looking at the Atrix but various sites aren't every accurate when it came to comparing it to the Infuse or Inspire and other phones.
Do u want prepaid? For 250 you can by a nice prepaid phone
HTC Wildfire S (VM) "s-off" "rooted" Stock Rom
Straight Talk offers 2 android phones. The LG Optimus Q and the Samsung Galaxy Precedent.
If u want more android for prepaid id say metro pcs or virgin mobile
HTC Wildfire S (VM) "s-off" "rooted" Stock Rom
From what I read can't I just use any phone from AT&T and use my sim card on it? The phones from ST are entry level android and I want a full fledge android phone if there is such a thing.
Yes, you can use any AT&T smartphone on Straight Talk, I did it for about a year. For under $250, I'd try and get an AT&T band Nexus S, an Infuse, or maybe a Galaxy S2 if you can go an extra $100 higher. It's definitely worth the extra cash.
My local Walmart thinks there will be a new Android phone available in February 2012 for Straight Talk, any idea on make/model? or if worth the wait?
Look at virgin mobile, 4g is coming this year but all there other Android is 3g

I have been doing some reading and is it worth buying a 4G phone, since ST doesn't use 4G yet. Until they upgrade their bands?

I think you're missing the point of the OP. He's not asking for recommendations for carriers, or phones on other carriers. He's only interested in StraightTalk, and since ST's GSM phones (at least, the E71) runs on AT&T, you can just stick the E71's SIM card in an AT&T phone and use it. He's asking for good/cheap AT&T phones to run on StraightTalk.
So, to answer the OP's question, I would probably try to go with a Nexus S (look for the AT&T band one, like entropism said), or maybe a used iPhone 4.
