I'm looking to buy a new phone sometime in the near future, but thought I would get some feedback from you all here. I have a HTC Droid Eris now which I hate, and been having problems with flashing ROMS and a bunch of other things. Anyways, to the point.
I'm looking at a few different one's right now.
1) Thunderbolt
2)Motorola Droid Bionic
3)Samsung Galaxy S2
?) LG Revolution
Just would like feedback from you all please.
Thanks for all your time and comments.
By far galaxy s 2 is the all around best. What provider?

It will be Verizon.
Yeah, the gsII blows the other phones away. If money isn't much of an issue and you can wait a couple (?) months, then definitely go for the gsII.
Yup. Word around the blogsphere is that US will be getting 1.4 ghz gs2's. Bionic might be nice if it comes out soon. Revolution isn't so great. And thunderbolt has awful battery life.

If u want to try to stay with HTC, then the Sensation rocks big time!

Thanks all. I think I can wait a few months and maybe thrown the cash out, maybe an work a deal for a new 2 year agreement for the G S2. Anyone have an idea as to when it's coming out and the $$$?
If your decision are stuck with Verizon on caming July new plan hhmmm. LG revolution is best

You think so? i don't have battery issues with my bolt as long as I plug it in on my way to work, while at the office, on my way home, overnight.....
If I don't go for the galaxy s2, which would be the next best phone to get with verizon?
Samsung's great -- as long as you don't have to use KIES (which is only good for firmware updates IMO -- at least, that's the only thing I use it for); I'm happy with every Samsung device I own (smartphone, tablet, television, a few other things)
Gonna be several HOT new phones by years endl.
I keep reading about several new phones due this year. Most promise to beat anything we have now. I love my Eris running GSB 3.6. Only thing slow about it is loading web pages, other than that it is a great little phone.
I'm still up in the air on which phone to get if any suggestions after the Samsung G2
Hey guys & gls
I'm Sprint premium customer. now time to change my EVO 4g which one is best from EVO 3D or Motorola photon ?
I know a both phones have dual core . Please I need help to decided
Thank you in advance
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
if you want to pay get the galaxy s2
Samsung galaxy s2 is great.
i would go for s2 on phone with dual core processor or thunderbolt if you live in 4g zone
++ Samsung Galaxy S2 ... it's lovely.
So far I'm using Galaxy S, and I'm loving this machine, if I had money, I've defenitivly buy SGS2.
I think it will between the Samsung Galaxy S2 and the Motorola Droid Bionic, but need to get better reviews and comparisons when they both are out.
Ok .. so right now I have a Motorola Atrix 2 on AT&T, and quite frankly, I am NOT impressed with this phone at all .. the fact that Motorola did not learn from its mistakes from the Motorola Atrix 4G in regards to the memory issues is just pure stupidity.
I'm torn between the 2 new phones that were just released to AT&T .. the HTC Vivid and the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket. Now, I have hammered theweb reading reviews about the 2 phones .. I have gone into the AT&T Store and played with both .. but for unknown reasons, I cannot make up my mind as to which one to get.
I obtained the Atrix 2 from BestBuy in the beginning of November, so I'm currently in the 30 days return policy .. so:
I'm posting this poll to see what other readers suggest as to what would be the best to get next .. please vote, let me know .. and if any questions or comments about the phones .. please post .. the more feedback, the better.
Thank you.
skyrocket, no question about it.
I would have to go with the Skyrocket i've used a raider and well... it feels like ever other HTC phone on the market... they really don't differentiate their products well. The Skyrocket, well it's a Galaxy S II so it has those in common but even though it uses a Qualcomm it's still quite a decent.
I've tried the Raider, The Razar and the SIILTE against each other once or twice already at a store and well the SIILTE beats both of them.
In all I would recommend the SIILTE, Samsung makes good products and are quite speedy in updating their products, HTC well you will get "Well your device can't support sense 4.0 "But it's on your budget device" "so..."
PERFECT .. please keep the responses coming
Well would you be willing to wait for option 3.
Get a Galaxy Nexus you'll be able to get one next week when they are released you can import one since they already come unlocked. Or they will be released on AT&T pretty soon

Not favoring Android at all right now, but out of the two definitely Skyrocket.
wow easy!
Honestly there is no question or even a contest between the both.
SKYROCKET ALL THE WAY BUD!
CHEERS
As they are saying skyrocket all the way..
I'd have to go with Samsung, gorgeous phone, and definitely a beast.
Skyrocket, Samsung makes the best phones these times

@Illicit Hero: Why aren't you favoring Android at this time ?
Definitely Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket, the specification itself is better than HTC Vivid.
Goto GSMarena and do a comparison of these 2 phone.
Out of all previous poster prolly only couple actually own the Skyrocket. I was about to buy it but I've changed my mind inside ATT's store after playing almost an hour with both. Any sgs2 user will say "Sammy's the best" and indeed it is, but the Skyrocket has a different CPU and I actually could see the difference. Didn't like the wvga on its 4.5" screen, for some reason the screen on sgs2 looks so much better. If you don't care for 4.5" go with sgs2, otherwise I would go back to the store and play a little more.

galaxy is my choice..its very reliable phone.......
AT&T Galaxy S II i777.
Why? Dev support on that from stemming from i9100 which the Skyrocket is not 'compatible' with.
between the 2 it's an easy choice LOL
just look at the development for each of those phones to help you decide
S II Skyrocket, Skyrocket, Skyrocket, Skyrocket, Skyrocket....
Skyrocket is the way to go mate
Samsung Galaxy S2 is the best phone on the market.

No confusion at all
I'm going to replace my HTC Wildfire with a better second-hand phone that still retain Android as OS, possibly with ICS support, even with rom xD.
For a budget of 200€ (250$) which should be the best for multimedia, gaming, etc..
Thanks in advance ^^
LG optimus 2x Speed
HTC is very nice...
When you have 280€ you should buy HTC Desire S .
I have it too.
It´s great
I think LG X3 will be better option it has marvelous specs but you have to wait for it....
agree if you can wait for the LG X3
that would be a good option
Wait for the Samsung Galaxy Note LTE
Wait til Feb 12 and the Samsung Galaxy Note LTE will be out for AT&T for $250 there is nothing better til the SG3 comes out this Oct

A lot of the cheaper Androids can be overclocked to run at excellent speeds. I wonder if there's a chart comparing speeds between overclocked phones somewhere.

Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
Based on the available(by Feb 18) phones on contract in the US, I don't believe there is a phone with better specs than the Note. If you can't handle the size of the beast, maybe wait until the Skyrocket HD comes out probably in March or April.
I for one am getting the Note on the 18th, mostly cuz I don't use my device as a phone much and want it more for the mini tablet aspect.
I don't believe the GS3 will be in the US for at least 4 months, because they haven't even announced it yet and when they do it will make the euro tour before we see it. I can't wait that long.
I think HTC EVO 4G is good

Honestly you should purchase the Galaxy SII skyrocket from samsung it is worth the buy!!
Samsung galaxy s2, or save some more money and wait for the s3.
Probably the Note is the best deal... but mine speaker distorted and my friend's one home button feel loose after extensive use.
But if the above not happen, then it will be the best C/P device for this moment

The Galaxy S II or the Galaxy Nexus. Samsung has stepped up their game big time. HTC is still good as well but needs help in the screen technology department. Seems like every LCD screen out there can't compare to SAMOLED. Samsung phones are also light and thin.
Ok guys! Thanks to everyone ^^.

About freaking time... hopefully we get a release date for the SGSIII before this comes out, that way I'll know if I should jump ship or wait it out; depending on release date.

I won't switch, the S3 has graphics problems at that Res (refer to note, very UI laggy), I'm waiting for either the SGS3, or HTC One X

Market is flooded. Might as well wait for GSIII or HTC one
what exactly is the difference besides the resolution? im actually really happy with the Skryocket res (other then the small times i zoom in on text on a rage comic and it blurs). dont see a reason to switch phones cuz of it.

att is doing you a favor trying to make you get skyrocket hd!
skyrocket with 4.65" and 1280x720 is much better than skyrocket at 4.5 and 800x480.
i cant wait to get skyrocket HD!
there is always ebay to sell your current phone to get back some money!

I don't think a vast majority of people would consider .15 more inches of screen, and a higher resolution on an already excellent screen worth using an upgrade/600 bucks.
Not saying it isn't an improvement, it's just not "fap fap fap - must have" material.
The HD screen will be a PenTile display. (insert vomit smiley)
I left the Atrix because of that crap and I have no desire to go back to it.
Ehh who cares the moment that skyrocket HD gets ics, we ALL have it.

I don't get why anyone who already owns a Skyrocket would bother getting a Skyrocket HD, knowing the SIII is coming? It's like getting a Blackberry 9900 knowing it's a dead end, with BB10 devices coming.

true.. But im sure tired of getting a nice device only to have it replaced 6 months later with a shiny newer version.
not to mention having to wait a year later after said device is released just for an update, lol
but i agree the skyrocket still is an awesome phone. but alas that hd screen sure is nice,, after using my int galaxy note. though its hard to come back to such a small screen lol 4.5 inches is like looking and an ip4 now. after using a note.
Hahaha, you guys are outta control with having to get new devices all the time. I keep my phones for 2 or 3 years before I replace them. I'm very happy with the skyrocket and as long as it doesn't explode or fall into a puddle I'll be keeping it for years just like my other phones.
Dammit, whens this thing coming out?!?! I needs it!!! Any new info.? Anyone herd anything recently?

I guess no one cares about it. I don't because I don't get new devices every few months so I don't care much about this type of stuff.

That's Awesome
So the original s2 and international only? Hope the skyrocket international comes along beside it so someone can port it to att for us.
Was really hoping for this to be att news. But I guess I should have less faith in them.
We have a different processor and gpu in our Skyrockets than the international version. Not sure if ICS for that device would help a lot for rom development on ours, but then again we have some amazing devs here on XDA
Or not...
They updated their article:

Update: Samsung's just tweeted that March 10th date is (sadly) wrong. It added that once the upgrade schedule is concrete, it'll confirm through its dedicated Twitter account.

As long as LG isn't the one to get it.....my wife's (after I pawned it off on her) Thrill is still yet to be updated to Gingerbread.
Comparing Samsung to others like Motorola and HTC, they are all the same. At least they have been pushing updates for bug fixes and such. The Thrill has yet to get even ONE update and they have major rebooting issues along with others. I would buy another Samsung. Would prefer they were the ones to get the next Nexus phone again.

I traded my Thrill for the Skyrocket because of this. SO glad I don't have that paper weight anymore. At least we know ICS is coming, and it's about ready. LG was just playing with our emotions.
I said the same thing about only getting Nexus, but I was unimpressed with the specs of this last one and my NS4G had horrible reception issues because of a ****ty antenna.
Add to this the fact that they omit an SD card slot <--That is the biggest deal breaker by far! I like being able to take all of my files with me from phone to phone and not have to spend hours transferring files when I get a new phone.
Its basically just the carriers, if you want to get updates and have an amazing phone get the international version! I would speend 300 bucks more to pick up a of gs2 when it first came out. But I get a free phone anyway. Same thing for the gs3 the galaxy devices are pretty dang good! I mean the gs2 is still on of the best IMO. Or at least just got past after a year of it being out. So grab that extra. Money and go for it

Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
It sucks that they're taking so long. But, if you want to stay w/ GSM, I think the SR is still the best game in town ICS or not. Battery life on the Nitro and Vivid aren't nearly as good. And when I played w/ them at the store, they weren't nearly as responsive as the S2 (i777 or SR). The Nitro's screen was nicer, but wasn't so much nicer that I'd give up battery life and performance (and LG doesn't do much better w/ updates either). Nexus is cool, but if you don't wanna pay $6-700, value external storage, and LTE, that's off the table, too.
Samsung should've been happy w/ the original S2 (still one of the best phones available right now). They didn't need to release so many versions. I had in mind before buying this phone that the i777 will get ICS before the SR (either thru XDA or official) since the hardware is nearly identical to the international version. But, LTE was more important to me than ICS.
We can keep waiting for that perfect phone, or be happy that we have an awesome phone right now.
nexus devices are always inferior then the latest phone of that year...For example...Nexus S was inferior then SGS and now Galaxy Nexus in inferior then SG2....
I agree with above poster...with so many devs working for our phones, I think I would always go for a better hardware then the one which will get updated quickly.
I am using Samsung Captivate now, I am already running ICS (almost stable). it was one of best smartphone hardware wise 2 yrs ago..so its still getting development really good.
Waiting for official updates is dumb. The devs is where the good stuff comes from. ICS will be on our SR's from our devs loooooooong before Samung or ATT gets it to us. Standby for the good stuff. It's coming.
Sent from low Earth orbit with my SkyRocket.
So there's no XDA release of ICS yet for Skyrocket?
Not a fully functional or stable one.
