It better not have the same lag issues as the current crop, otherwise im not buying it.

If it doesn't have tons of ram i don't want it.

omg it makes me so sad to see this after ive only had my captivate for a month but imagine what the next year or two will bring!

Unless the samoled 2 is also a solar panel, I don't experience the best battery life...

Probably gonna be bogged with RFS and and TouchWiz. If they bork the nexus S with RFS that will seriously suck. I know we can run lag fixes etc. but it would be nice to get a phone that doesn't need to be hacked just top be functional (totally would still root it, but its just the satisfaction of knowing that I wouldn't have to ^_^)

I'd still pick the Nexus S.
If the Captivate has such awful battery life, I can't imagine what a 1.2ghz processor and a 4.3" screen will do to it.
The Google Experience with a 4" screen is my dream phone. The S2 sure does look pretty though.

with all this extra power, bigger screen etc, I couldnt believe what kind of a battery it would need to be HALF DECENT.
Companies should stop competing in cpu wars, display wars etc and really revolutionize a battery that will last at least a full 24 hours with moderate usage.

Interesting, I didn't see GPS on the feature list. Like its predecessor it looks like this phone won't come with GPS either.
Very sad for Samsung not to figure out GPS yet.

Looks like it might not be the real thing. Here's more info:

This isn't fake at all. I have a very good source at Samsung who can confirm this device, although those slides are not final. Like Engadget said, these slides are 100% real from Samsung... they just used an image of a different device to get their point across. Not meant to be seen by the whole world.
Anyways, the device (which can be confirmed real by Engadget, BGR, AndroidCentral) is called the Samsung Elite: http://briefmobile.com/new-samsung-elite-specifications
It is the successor to the Galaxy S line and it's due in early 2011 for announcement.

Sounds reasonable, I was wondering if it's samsung advertising our a mock up of what might come next.
People around here are so argumentative over things where they have no facts. Also I don't get what people expect of a phone, I find battery life between meets expectations to excellent depending on what rom and modem I'm running.
And where did the notion that amoled displays hog power come from? that's the opposite of true, I don't know what the droid x is like but go buy an evo and check the battery life, it's far from good.
I'm excited about the nexus s and hope the rom and kernel port to the captivate, I just wonder if the modem will be a problem, I'm guessing it will be hsupa+ (4g) and wonder if the hardware is the same in that area and if the modem file will support the att 3g bands, or will a froyo captivate modem.bin work in gingerbread? I'll have to wait and see. As for my next phone I'll wait for a dual core device.

Yeeesssss, loft in its beauty. Feel it in your pocket.MMMMMMMMM. So good.

I bought mine on launch, and I still love. My only regret the is potential loss of tmobile, but the FCC seems to be leaning against that.

I really like it a lot. I think it's still the phone I'd choose today if I was in the market again; I've really appreciated the stock experience, especially post-2.3.3 patch, which fixed pretty much all my gripes with it.

I love it, but the only thing that I can think of to change is making the speaker audible when laid on it's back. I had a few missed calls because of this.

I love it. Started off a little bit slow, but things are starting to catch up... slowly.
I never get sick of the phone's looks. And getting the Case-Mate Pop Case made me even love it more.
Edit: Slow as in development.

I love it to death. The only way I would think of giving it up is if the deal goes through. Having a 3g phone with no 3g is lame.

Same with this guy.

my brother has one. ihave iphone 4. last week i bought one. used but almost brand new. not a single cratch with no visible gtid pattern on the matrix pentile screen. it was stunning.
i figured what the hell, i will try it for few days. if i like it, i will keep it and sell my iphone 4. if not i will return it to the store " store owner is my close friend "
so i played with it. i think its awesome. but i gave it to my brother since it was in better shape than my brothers and he sold his phone.
i use skype video calls almost daily. and i play alot of games. i figured i can live without the skype but it was a no go.
its funny how a small things can screw up big things.
all in all i think its one of the best phones in the market. and i recommend this phone over any andriod phone available right now.
unless optimus 2x will have a cracked bootloader, then i dont think any phone coming soon will top the nexus .
right now i am waiting for the xperia play. for the same reason, i play games alo :/

Interesting responses. I for one, do love mine. I don't think I could ask for more except 3g.

I don't see any reason not to like the Nexus S currently...the only drawback is lack of dual core and 4G. But no biggie to me...I can live with 3G speeds and this phone is super fast with custom rom's, kernels even without dual core.
This will be my phone until GalaxyS 2 comes out on T-Mobile

Then you'll complain about Samsung's delay on Android X.X. Just stay on the Nexus line and wait for the 3rd Nexus Phone.

Got mine as soon as Bestbuy opened on launch day, rooted it later that day as soon as Koush posted directions. Still love the phone and wouldn't trade it for any other phone available now or that has been announced/rumored.

I LOVE IT!
best phone I ever had in 10 ten years. none of them made me love it the way NS made me.

Did a Quick compare between Iphone 4s and My Stock Froyo Capi

Hi Folks i was at Apple store just abt 10 mins ago, hardly there were people coming in to buy Iphone 4s, so i did a quick compare between browsing speeds of My captivate and 4S and I should say that 4S is faster but not as fast as marketing/tech sites say. i did record the video(i used another iphone sitting on display) but i could not email to mys self as i didnt had a camera. but i did buy a iphone for my GF so will try to post the video. i dont see a good why reason why people should upgrade to 4S.
Video coming soon
see this video a quick compare for drop test between SGS 2 and Iphone 4s
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=elKxgsrJFhw

Very Interesting... I went from an Iphone 3gs to the Cappy.. there was NO comparison. especially now that I am running Phoenix. ive been told mine runs smoother than the iPhone 4 my boss has.

Really? The SGS II has insanely improved web browsing over the Captivate.

I dont mean to be THAT GUY, but it's just a given that iOS is going to be about 100x smoother than android, unless you have a Nexus S, which is an iPhone 4 with android on it.

What's an iPhone?
Sent from my I897 using XDA App

i didn't try my captivate while in the store but
i did try bringing up pages on the 4s and the GSII side by side in the store.
They were both connected to wifi rather than 3g so couldn't test that
but i do have to admit the 4s was bringing up webpages faster than the GSII.

Why do people even still care?
I've had my phone for a while, and I'm still a while away from an upgrade.. What good do these comparisons do?
The iphone 4s is a dual core device at 800 mhz. Therefore unless the browser is optimized for dual cores the captivate will theoretically be faster at 1000 mhz assuming both have a stable connection in the same location.
Even if the browser is hypothetically optimized for dual core processing, the gains over a single core processor for a web browser is probably still not going to see large gains.
It's a browser.. not autocad :/

Who buys a cappy/sgs2/iphone4/iphone4s only to brows the web? There are thousands of other applications/uses for these phones. For speed and stability browsing is the least of my concerns. Run a real test, like how well it streams or runs video intensive apps/games, etc.

I can co-sign with MikeyMike that the GS2 has 100x better browsing than the Captivate. I went to heavy flash websites and lagged hardcore with the Captivate. That lag is non existing with the GS2. I can compare this with my laptop in terms of smoothness.

It's a device that runs Instagram which is about the only reason to look at one, albeit a damn compelling one.

If you want it to "just work" you buy a iPhone. If you want to tweak it to match you you buy a Android. I am not sure why people are always trying to compare. btw apple sucks

Its the smartphone that makes their owners feel they are smarter than they really are.

I can only wonder why everything has to be a contest.
I love my captivate, but come on.. it is how old?
Captivate is now low-mid range in terms of price/performance.
Honestly, I really don't mind that it is the low range.. It is still decent hardware which can do everything I bought it to do.
Just seems in terms of comparisons.. you would think people would have gotten bored with comparing it by now :/

Local t-mobile had FAKE MT4GS?

I saw this at my mall and i couldnt believe it. The guy told me it was a "new" mytouch 4G slide. But they had two different models one with a genius button and one without. See pics.

Holy s**t! I saw this same phone at work. Someone brought it in looking for a case and I was puzzled. It looks like one of those crappy ZTE brand phones from cricket, but if I remember correctly, it felt about the same as the 3G slide in terms of touchscreen response and speed. MAYBE a 700mhz processor, and I don't think it's an HSPA+ device either.

He did say it was 4G but he also said it was the 'cute' instead of the Q lol.

I read a couple of scathing reviews of the Sidekick 4G, most notably about how sub-par of a modern smartphone it is. So comparing one of the new fake MT4GS's with a Sidekick is...not very good.

Should I trade my Optimus 3D for a Motorola Atrix?

The title says it all.
Should I make this trade? I was thinking about use Atrix webtop + his docks, but I already have an iPad 3 which makes kind dull have Atrix docks, cause I can perform everything better on the iPad.
So I was thinking, should I trade my LG O3D for the Atrix? Or wait and see if O3D gets ICS and so on...?
Im confused, becase O3D have the 3D features (ofc), radio FM (which I like it so much) and dual channel RAM that I though it a bit faster than Atrix.
On the other hand Atrix has their custom roms on JB already, good docks (which I dont know if im gonna buy it, its so expensive in my country) and more internal memory.
What you guys think?

Think about this 1st are you trading phones just to have JB? Or just because you're actually just tired of LG?

well if i was in your situation i'd do my research (carefully) on the particular phone i want to trade my o3d for.... like read through the motorola atrix forum on here... read what others are saying by that phone, ask questions (if the question you have isn't posted) read to see how difficult it would be to root, upgrade etc. that way you'll know if that's truly the phone you want to trade to.
Hope this helps :good:

The Atrix is rather laggy even on custom roms. I had my friend's for a while, it heated up very quickly when using the Webtop and it was quite slow then. Besides, it won't be getting official ICS either.

And besides that, it won't get official ICS either.

I was going to buy the Atrix, but I chose the O3D over it because of the screen, although Atrix's is qhd, it's pentile. The colors are greyish, and O3D's is IPS, much brighter and colorful. But Atrix's battery life is way longer, while O3D's isn't even decent, But still, I still choose O3D over Atrix.

Im going to keep my optimus anyway, I only uses it for basic tasks, our phone is dual 512mb RAM ou dual 256ram?

Just a quick word: I will keep my P920 as this is a really fantastic community. Although we don't have ICS yet, we have great developers. We have true DualBoot (and I'm sure there will be a nice interface soon), we have OC-Kernel, our developers are trying to port a leaked ICS... And lots of more. Thanks to all... :thumbup:
Gesendet von meinem LG P920 mit Tapatalk. Rom is ThiaiZ O3D 2.8 with Promethius-Kernel 1.5

Helpful tread.. i had a same dilemma and decide to stick with O3D.. only + for Atrix is the battery and nothin else i believe..
ps. this is my first post on xda...

Well, it all depends on your needs, I think.
I just exchanged a Motorola Milestone 1 for a O3D Max. The feature I want the most is the 3D Camera, to take pics and make movies, and all I wanted was a little more RAM (now I have 1GB, that's fine for me). Ofc I miss the amazing Google apps availabe for ICS and JB, but that doesn't count that much when I think that probably a year from now there will be a new GApps pack incompatible with ICS and JB, and I would get in the same situation I was. That's not what I want. The 3D features will remain the same for more years than the GApps, I think. So it weighted more for me.
If you don't use and don't care with 3D, go for another phone, not Atrix. It is a little old already, Motorola already dropped it's support for the webtop and lapdock and no official ICS or JB. So I'd suggest you get another phone, maybe a Sony from it's newest, that are beautifully designed, decent specs and probably will get more updates.
That's only my humble opinion, ofc. Good luck on your trade.
