What should i pick? - Captivate General

Hey guys,
I got an option to replace my captivate with other phones, what should i get?
The newer version the better.. And i want it to be able to access any update of OS any time, if there is any.. Without any hassle..
So guys, what can you recommend? Thanks for reading..

Nexus S is not available through AT&T.
MRQuad, what's the timeframe for you to make a decision? If you want Android on AT&T, there isn't too much at this moment, but the offerings should get better as we get into 2011.

I would recommend wait for 2 more months. Good phones are lined up for release. But this would be feasible only if u have the option to wait, and picking the phone isn't due immediately.

Anything but samsung.

Assuming you want to stay with at&t. Wait and get the Atrix.
That is if you have the option to wait.

Why not research phones you are interested in and decide from there. You don't need people on the internet to make suggestions for you. Would you ask random strangers what car you should buy?

He should read the forums and see what issues to expect.

+1 on the Atrix
or if you can hold off 4-6 months i would think we will start to see some dual cores with 2.3 out of the box

Atrix.
Or, if you absolutely have to get one now, get a Nexus One.

Hey guys, thanks for the honest response.. Appreciate it very much!
actually, i have the option to replace my fone for 3yrs. As long as there is faulty on it.. Kinda insurance thingy for my fone, but i paid extra for it.. The sales guy says i can change it as long as it's the same provider.. Im from canada by the way.
Ican tell there is faulty on my fone.. Do you think i should wait for two years and replace the fone with a new one?
Thanks again!

I'm using a captivate with Speed N Style ROM Purplicious. Infuse looks mostly similar minus the processor and 1080p. Development may follow heavily, and pretty quickly, due to the similarities to i9000.

What did you guys pay for yours? Where's the best price off contract you've seen?
loving mine. 4.5 inch screen is great. especially when dash mounted. extremely snappy. can't wait for the ROMs, touchwiz 4 is better than 3.
Like a lot of others, i was torn about getting the infuse or waiting for AT&T's version of the SGS2. it sounds great and all, but who knows when that's coming out. Even when it does, i don't know if the dual core will be a huge difference, plus i think i would rather have the infuse's larger screen.

worst case, you wait a few months, love the SG2, and then just sell the Infuse.
at least that's my plan.
now I'm off to the mall to buy it
I've been doing the buy/sell/trade with phones since the Iphone 4 came out. I got my Infuse yesterday, and I can honestly say it is more than a phone. Its the first phone I have not been able to use comfortably with 1 hand. The delayed dedicated forum and GS2 will prolly kill this phone. I don't think the dualcore will really matter, but I think the smaller screen of the SG2 will make it more comfortable to use. Until then, I will use the Infuse that I got, as it is by far the best At&t device to date.

The only thing that was bugging me about the huge screen that I think is impossible to do with one hand is pull down the notifications tab. Installed LauncherPro, used the home button to pull down notifications problem solved. I'm loving the extra real estate and especially when it comes to typing.

The phones spec's are nice, and if they would release MIUI natively without requiring a modding community that phone would probably sell like hot cakes. WTB that phone.
Yahh me2! But it's now going to come with Vanilla android 2.3.5 instead of MIUI stock.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using xda premium
At the moment They would have to make a major change in their policies before the phone could be released in the US. The GPL will need to be upheld and until that happens if you want one you will have to order one from China
Yahh since MIUI is closed source code, that would be awesome if they released it!

It would be very cool, but until they do they can't sell it in the US. I hope they do release it.
But could they sell it to the US people? And not have a base company in the US?

it comes with MIUI and is dual-bootable into any other gingerbread rom people port to it. probably will be VGB, CM7, etc... Xiaomi is also trying to get rights and permissions to put WP7 on it but thats unlikely.

I just got one this week via China. Its really hard to get. They've just sold 500,000 in 24 hours and run out of stock. I doubt they will be coming to the rest of the world any time soon until they have satisfied Chinese domestic demand
Comes with stock MIUI - did an OTA update a couple of days ago. Build quality and spec is amazing for what I paid for it.
Xiaomi are offering owners the chance to beta test Android 4.0.3 (non MIUI). Not many manufacturers would take this approach
I have given up on this phone, and I am waiting on the SGS III
just have a look

LG/Huawei makes low end phones so the phones they have on here either have to be popular and or high end smart phones. U might wanna google what your looking for or u can look in the android dev section and goto the android software development and hacking.

If you can get one for cheap I definitely recommend it. To me, the CM9 builds we have are all complete besides those minor little niggles like TV out. Our ICS is freaking fast!!! But all of this would not be possible without jt1134 and bhundven. Man I love those guys lol. Anyways, yes its worth it
If you have the chance to get something better then definitely do it. This phone is better than nothing but I can't wait to get some cash and upgrade

don't have to worry about S-OFF,
you can flash radios, no worries, way too much crap can go wrong on HTC and they lock it down way too hard. I hate buying a phone, and having to wait 2-3 months before I can delete all the CRAP VZW put on the phone causing me bad battery life
