I was actually checking out the G2x.... I may get that one. But I see its on 2.2 and no cm rom for it yet. But very appealing with all the speed it has though.

currently it is Samsung Galaxy S 4G

The MyTouch 4G is a beast of a phone. And the amount of things going on right now in our dev section is amazing.

From the Sensation preview vid I saw, dual core, Official Sense 3.0 and GB
Holiday.
Though that nexus could be interesting. I don't know how much I like the idea of the separate menu buttons being made software-based, though. 5mp camera, though they say its "advanced 5mp" is still 5mp. Resolution of images will still be that of a 5mp camera, no matter how "advanced" it is otherwise.
Samsung = FAIL. Never again.
I was going for the Sensation over the GSII because I hate the physical home button. But with all the U.S. carriers likely having their own slightly tweaked version, it very well could be without it . In this case, I'm going with the GSII (I like the extra ram it has vs. the Sensation). If AT&T's version looks like the current version that everyone has, I'm going with the Sensation (an unlocked one from Canada or something - for use with AT&T's bands).

Any thing made by HTC............. If the new nexus is HTC then I will try that. If not then the Holiday looks nice!! I want to see the LTE lineup also, any thing HTC with LTE I may jump on.
I'm excited for the nexus phone large screen 4.0 nice display lte... sounds like a great phone to me the others I really am not that excited for

I'm sticking with this inspire, love this phone and I don't think it would be worth the early upgrade for a phone that would be only a little better.
I think its going to be a while till the inspire is really out of date....

Oh, me too. If the op question had been "which of these phones are you going to dump your inspire for and pay off contract," I'd have answered just as you did.
By the time my full upgrade comes around, there'll be some new bomb-ass HTC phone on ATT. But this time, I have a phone that will keep me going until that upgrade comes...
Unlike the circumstances that brought me to this inspire...
Blew my upgrade on a captivate 2 months before the inspire came out.
I got an upgrade available in December, the day after Christmas. I'm watching for the HTC Holiday.
EDIT: Paid off-contract price for this on Feb 27th. This phone will definitely hold me over til my upgrade, and then hello Holiday!

Opinions Please

LOL I F'D up on the title here. I just wanted opinions from you owenrs.
My birthday is in a few weeks and I am going to be getting a new phone and I have been looking at this phone off and on.
I am a smartphone fanatic and I've owned a Vibrant in the past before my parents switched over to Virgin Mobile. I currently own a Virgin Mobile LG Optimus V now *gag*
I only got it because it was either the Intercept or Blackberry at the time.
I am considering getting a refurb Galaxy S 4g or just getting a brand new one but i wanted to know...
As of today...What are your thoughts...Opinions about this phone?
Are you content with it? Do you regret it?
I was looking at a sensation, but aside from having a great camera on the back...I was not WOWED!. I don't need the latest and greatest but I am growing tired of this POS Optimus V and I Want something that is not too expensive but is a great fit.
Wait for the Hercules in a few weeks

Hercules, or even the upcoming HTC Ruby is quite a beast. It's pretty much a white supped up Sensation.

Trading glacier for galaxy s 4g

Ive got an extra glacier and was offered a local trade for a samsung galaxy s 4g for tmobile. What do you guys think? Is there anything I should watch out for? Is it a fair frade straight across or should one of us add cash?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
My girl got a galaxys4g and tho she loves the phone, even I know the mt4g is a better phone in all specs except maybe the screen. If your phone is in excellent condition I would say to add another 50 dollars or more for a galaxy s 4g
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium
I figured they should add some cash. Plus the galaxy has been dropped.

I had a galaxy S 4g, but traded it back in for a new MT4G. The screen on the GS4G is much nicer than the MT4G and the phone itself functions very well... but the development just isn't there yet.
Keep in mind that it's not just a Galaxy S... it's T-Mobile's variation of the Galaxy S and is a different phone all together. I was highly disappointed to learn I couldn't use any of the ROMs that I had been planning to try, and that the 4G model was in it's infancy for development.

All SamSUX device are same BS its just another Galaxy S mockup with minor H/S revision. Also we must give credit where its due and on the display SuperAMOLED always better than our. I wouldn't take those cheap plastic looking Galaxy S-BS even if they offer me free. I am much happy with MT4G and spent more on it than 2xSG4G at full device price without any contracts.

Thanks for the input so far guys. It seems like I am better off with the glacier. Maybe I will just keep it and try to exchange it through tmobile (due to the washed out screen). I want to exchange both of them but the rep I spoke with only wanted to allow an exchange on one of my lines.

You may not want to exchange if you plan to root your phone I just got my exchange today and it has 2.3.4 on it which at the moment I don't think can be rooted with s on
Ive heard you can downgrade and then acquire s off. Is it worth exchanging if you have the so called bad chip?

Yeah you defiantly don't wan't the bad chip but you may have to tell t-mobile you are having random reboots and you reset your phone or something to exchange it.where did you see the link about rooting a phone with the update on it I can't seem to find it.

You need to know ADB though. My friend just did it and it works.
Oh, and to answer your question, I would make the trade since you have two Glaciers.
The Galaxy S 4G has a higher resale value than the Glacier. Plus I always see people willing to trade their G2x's for a SGS4G.

This is what I was just about to write. I wouldn't get into a debate about which one is better, I've had both and like both. I wouldn't trade my mt4g for another sgs4g unless I had a spare.

i wouldnt regret getting the sgs2 after seeing reviews theres very little lag when having over 500 apps running. and with future android updates i see it still being accessible for the next 4 years....
Played with the gs2 at sprint the day it came out. Was thinking about jumping ship from big red to sprint. Phone was sweet and would trade my xperia play for it. Coming to At&t soon. My iphone buddy was with me and is now thinking of jumping into android.
my choice is sgs2
Thanks for the advice guys

or you can choose lg optimus 2x
wait ..... waiting is good ......
HTC MAGIC is the best
Or you can wait for HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio.

Really only LTE. I think it has a higher resolution screen too, but I'd still get the GS2.
But Samsung phones look and feel like Mattel made them :/

I actually like their builds .
I just got my lady the Infuse4g and it seems like a nice phone, but too light for me. I like my inspire a bit too much.
Looks nice....
Love the Inspire 4g, but am ready for a upgrade without too much change. Make sense?
I've heard that the 4.7" HTC Runnymede (only name I've heard so far) could possibly be making its way to AT&T after being released in Europe for a few months first. Kinda like the same thing they did with the DesireHD before the Inspire came to the U.S.A.
The sensation xl looks awesome but only single core. But thats probably still heaps of cpu grunt

My thoughts exactly
I just want an HTC phone with build quality like the Inspire, HD resolution, dual core and a decent sized battery. I love the specs on the Galaxy Nexus but I will never buy another Samsung product.
I heard a while back about an "Inspire HD". I think it was on Android Central. I've never seen anything else about it, though.
