according to this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapdragon_(system_on_chip)
its the same processor in both. the international Raider is clocked at the same speed and the AT&T variant (Vivid) is slightly Underclocked from the factory. but they are both capable of the same speeds.
You don't even say why you want to return it.
I've personally contemplated getting the Galaxy Nexus (unlocked), but I'm torn between the two.
The main GN selling points for me are the higher res display, notification light and NFC out of the box. On the other hand, it's got a crappy camera, no LTE (plus I'm hearing lousy signal and data speeds on AT&T).
What I love about the SR is obviously LTE and the camera, but on the other hand I hate the 800x480 res and sound quality of both ear speaker and loud speaker is sub-par. Plus, no notification light is killing me, reminds of my days with an iPhone. Why does Samsung omit this feature is beyond me.
If you can live w/ less internal memory, than the LG Nitro HD LTE might be good.
But the dev suport on the lg will be a gamble

The skyrocket is a really good device, you might as well keep it. Your other option on ATT is the vivid which I have and is a great device. But don't worry, with this CarrierIQ thing going on right now (which seems to be ATT only and not Google, Samsung or HTC) you ptobably should be able to opt out the contract at any time since you didn't sign up for that crap...

Ciq isnt just att.....the samsung epic is the first phone i believe to be discoverd with it thats sprint, and that was discoverd almost a year ago. But i am suprised no one has tried to see if they could get out of there contract yet due to it... i believe it was k0nane who discoverd it on the epic
Then it looks like the SR is the best choice for the next 6 months or so. Honestly, I haven't even looked at new phones that were coming out for AT&T. The LG phone doesn't look appealing as there is only 4gb on board which is crazy for a smartphone these days.
Thanks for the info!!

This is my concern. The only two gripes I have about my skyrocket are the screen lines and the poor audio...The LG Nitro screen quality may be better resolution, but it is still LCD. I doubt audio is any better than what it was on the thrill. On that note...the thrill has hod absolutely no developmental improvements since I left that device over a month ago.
I have no interest in the Vivid (heavy, washed out screen, bootloader issue) so the Nitro would be my only choice at the moment and I just don't see that happening...4gb internal memory and no development....the SR will prolly be the better choice to tide me over until mid '12
We have another upgrade available next week so we may pick up a nitro to compare side by side.

Where are you seeing this? None of the reviews I've read have mentioned that. One thing that may not be widely understood is that you need to have your account provisioned to get HSPA+ data speeds. The old wap.cingular.com gateway is apparently capped in terms of data speeds. You need the IMEI of a "4G" capable AT&T phone in order to get a 4G data plan and the right code added to your account - AT&T doesn't recognize the IMEI of the GN as 4G capable. My plan is to buy the SGS2 Skyrocket with my upgrade, activate it on the 4G unlimited data plan, then sell it and use the SIM in an unlocked GN once the 32GB HSPA+ GN is available.

I read it in multiple posts here on XDA under the GN section. My line was fine with HSPA+ since I had the Atrix, and they said I wouldn't need a new SIM for the Skyrocket...which I believe since I'm getting 45mbs here in DC.
Would any of you guys suggest buying a Samsung Epic Touch 4G now? or the iPhone4s? I currently have an HTC Evo 4G and the power button gave out... it only works if I don't let the screen time out ):.
My question is, do you think I should buy the Samsung Epic Touch 4G or iPhone4s, OR wait for the rumored iPhone5/Samsung Galaxy SIII?
I would suggest the epic touch 4g

Wait for the Galaxy SIII. You could also consider the Evo 4G LTE - http://news.softpedia.com/news/HTC-EVO-4G-LTE-Approved-by-FCC-Pre-Orders-Start-in-May-264450.shtml (since you had an Evo, it may make you feel more "at home").

If you are serious about waiting and iOS platform you should wait a few months to start getting the "new" iPhone rumors and release date.

I think there's a website where you can get all kinds of people submitting ROMS, each with customization, themes, adjusted apps, all for the iPhone4s. Oh wait, actually I don't' think there is.
Neither, because you'll be able to get a much better phone by may/june
Well, since mostly everyone is telling me to wait... is there anyway to get my phone to function? I either have to leave the screen on and not let it timeout, or pull out the battery and put it back in to view a text/email.
I went from an Epic 4G Touch to an iPhone 4S for 2 months, and regretted it. The only saving grace of the iPhone is that it feels expensive and looks good, but from a usability standpoint you will be really limited in what you can do with it, even jailbroken (which you can't jailbreak it now anyways if you buy it new). I'm on a white Epic 4G Touch now. There's no place like home.
I'd say wait for the Evo 4G LTE, but the Epic 4G Touch is without a doubt the fastest phone out right now, even faster than the Galaxy Nexus. You can't go wrong with it. But like others have said, wait to see around next month and June. If you HAVE to pick a phone right now, Epic 4G Touch. If you have to pick one now and want to sell it later, get an iPhone 4S, call Sprint to have them unlock it, then sell it on eBay for $600 and buy the Evo 4G LTE off contract.
i guess I might have to go with the epic 4g touch... idk how much longer I can survive without a phone lol

Well, if you need it now, then the Samsung Epic 4G Touch is one of the best options you have.
in my opinion wait for the galaxy s III or whatever they will call it.
I hope it will be announced until the last of April, And don't listen to any rumor in the internet right now 98% are imaginations and lies...
I'm still using the trusty EVO 4g but will be upgrading to the new EVO LTE when it comes out. That is one killer phone.
Hey guys, I'm looking for a T-Mobile phone that is used and costs around $150. I'm looking at these phones:
HTC MyTouch 4G (non-slide)
HTC G2
Motorola Defy
Samsung Vibrant
Samsung Galaxy S 4G
Also, taking into consideration which has ICS and a more active dev community.
Thanks!
EDIT: I'm going for a no-contract $30 prepaid plan, forgot to add that

Go with the vibrant! Great phone. The SGS 4g (T959v) is nice but there is a larger dev community for the original. You won't be disappointed.
Edit: Don't overlook the captivate from at&t. It is easily unlocked with an app and is a great phone, large dev support as well.
What are you looking at shortbus?

Would never buy Motorola, Samsung and so much about nothing at all, so much trouble with him was. So many problems with the flashing, forever's not like it, is not flashing, after the firmware is not loaded, reloaded
My choice of HTC
My wife has the Samsung Galaxy S, but its sometimes crappy with force restarts.

I am leaning towards the Galaxy S because I bought GTA 3 on one of my old phones and it was laggy on that one (it had an adreno 205)
consider the htc one x
with his quadcore processor you're good for a few years
My vote goes for HTC One X too. Tegra 3 is overrated, but too many developers start to consider that as main platform for development.
He wants phones that are affordable guys!!! lol But if I had to I would get a Samsung Galaxy S 4G and get straight talk for $45 Unlimited everything!!!.
Now for high end phones... the GS3 is deffinently the KING!

I live in Washington D.C. I will post some pics up later today for you. Believe me I really looked into it before I bought my captivate. I also have a vibrant. These are really great devices. Flashing is really easy, no need to worry about s-on/off like HTC devices. I also have an HTC my touch 3g slide aka espresso and I prefer the Samsungs hands down.

Let me start out by saying I'm not advocating piracy or any illegal activities but you can get alot of cool new games from 4shared. Hypothetically you could get the apk for these games to try and see how they work on your device before purchasing. Please purchase these games and apps to help support the development and continuation of great apps on the market.

I don't use minutes if any at all, that's why im going with tmobile (and saving 5 bucks a month while im at it )
I'll be buying a phone within the next 2 days, can someone confirm if captivate can work with tmobile 3g? I've looked all over and everyone says it only works with edge
thankyou!
So I just switched from Sprint to T-Mobile and am very happy. I like the fact that I have a sim card and can switch it from hone to phone. I have the Samsung Exhibit II 4G and like the phone. My question is there any "rugged" phones out there that would work for T-Mobile? I also am interested in a "Rugged" flip phone that will do Phone/SMS so that if I am going to some place that might be real hard on a phone, I can put my sim in it and sill have phone and texting. I know Sanyo makes a nice small flip phone that is rugged, but I don't think it uses a sim card.
So what "Specs" am I looking for when seeing if the phone will work on T-Mobile?

I'd recommend the Motorola defy. I had one when I was with T-Mobile. I planned on going back to tmo and getting one for the same reason you want to. Overall its a great little phone.

Okay I am looking for a new phone on T Mobile. I am looking at Samsung Galaxy S III. Does anyone have one and give a review on it. Are there better phones on T Mobile or phones that may be coming out this year that I should wait for? Does anyone know if any phones with the Nvidia Tegra are going to be coming out for T-Mobile
The only in depth reviews for Galaxy S III were for the international version with the quad core.
Does anyone know if HTC One X will work on T-Mobile?
depends what are you needed..
generally...sgs3 have a more performance...
but one x is have the beautiful design
htc one x will work on t-mob but am not sure about data bands.. check for data bands otherwise you may stuck with 2g.
galaxy s3 will be best choice , but also check htc one s
it should depend on how long you want to stick with the phone, and whether you want to use 3G or 4G/LTE...

The One X will only work on 2G/EDGE speeds until the refarm is done in your area. I personally didn't like the S3 because of the size so I went with the HTC One S. I think the 1S has the perfect size for a phone and has the same processor as the T-MO S3 but it all comes down to what YOU want in a phone.

I think the refram has been done. They are pushing for the family to upgrade phones right now. My mom still has an old flip phone. Her signal seems to be getting worse.
I just looked it up and apparently the quad core SIII and the One X are not available in the US. Does the One S have a MicroSD slot? The SIII does have a slight advantage with the extra gig of ram. As for size i really need to hold them and see if they can fit comfortably in my pocket.
