What do you plan on doing?

Samsung is unveiling a new generation of Galaxy S phones. What does this mean for current Galaxy S users? Are we going to be neglected once Samsung unveils this newer and sexier line of galaxy phones? Could there be cross-development between this generation and the next generation of Galaxy phones? Any Captivate owners planning to abandon ship or reluctantly stay with your current phone?
I'm currently debating whether I should sell my Captivate in a few weeks (I'm sure holiday demand will help increase prices a little ) and grab the newer galaxy phones when they come out, or just stick with this already amazing phone. Decisions decisions...

I'm sticking with mine..I do have to ask you something though..Why are you in a quandary over this..if you actually think this...
or just stick with this already amazing phone

..Why change to something that may not be ? Are the specs that great on this unreleased as yet phone that you feel compelled to change...or [/I]do you just have to have the latest and greatest out all the time.?

My quandry is that although this is an amazing phone, the specs on the new phone make it seem amazinger! Also I'm kind of upset that these phones were released around June, I bought mine in August, and Samsung is releasing the next generation of phones in less than a year! At least Apple has the decency to wait a year I know all of this is based on here-say, but who doesn't want the latest and greatest???

It's not like there is really anything on the new phones that the Captivate won't be able to do...

I'm hanging in. With the great developers here I can't see this phone going out of style for awhile yet.
You're the type of user that Samsung drools over.

We first started seeing leaks of the current galaxy S devices in April of 2009... It takes quite a bit of time to go from a few prototypes to actual production.

sticking with my current phone. couldn't afford to upgrade anyway..

There is always going to be something better"just around the corner" ......the wonders of modern technology
Not sure what more I can expect my phone to do at this point though....but I am sure I will upgrade again though not til next summer

By the same token, if you stand back and compare this with phones that were being sold 2 years ago our current lineup is pretty awsome...

That's true, but we're not living in 2008 anymore! I'm want to have a handset that will last me through 2012

For me this will last til 2012. Will it be top of the line, no. with the way the technology curve is going I don't see any phone lasting very long on top at all. Not unless they develope hardware that most likely the common public is not willing to spend.

This phone will be plenty to last at least for two years until my contract is up.
Hell, I bought a PS3 in 2006 and Sony is just about to release the console's most anticipated game ever Gran Turismo 5.
And that will easily last a couple more years before a Playstation 4 is revealed.
Although there will be newer phones, I think the Captivate is future proof for a couple of years.
That is what open-source and apps are for.

I love the captivate currently and the prospect of new phones means more software support in the future that is compatible with it.
Gingerbread not being released on the captivate? A long as a similar phone is and it meets the specs looks like our kitchens will be cooking for a long time.

This...I just hope they keep developing for the Cap. And if "they" dont, I know someone who will /grin

I bought my Captivate off contract, and if Samsung releases another phone on AT&T that I like, I'll buy that phone off contract as well. I don't mind having a stockpile of working GSM phones

HD7S Coming to AT&T

Hd7 with Super LCD screen coming to ATT Soon
http://www.wireless.att.com/businesscenter/devices/htc-hd7s.jsp

AT&Tmobile. I like the Optimus, though I wonder how much of a battery hog it would be.

avoid any window based phones/gadgets - Microsoft known for having great ideas but NO follow-up. For example - HD DVD(discontinued) and Zune(purchased one promised from Microsoft to have apps and full support) two years ago - now brink of extinction with only 10 apps in Zune Marketplace ......

28 Games and 14 Apps for a devices that was never meant to be an application-based device shows pretty good support in my books.
The Zune HD is a media player, not an app device like an iPod touch and was said to be so on many occasions by Microsoft.

Why are you posting that question in this thread? You should make a separate one.
As for the question, I saw this and I'm glad it is finally coming; back when the HD7 came out for Tmobile iI liked the design and screen size but windows mobile 7 is just too simple for me.

Its basically a refresh of an 8 month old phone same as the htc inspire was old tech.
Doing know why att is trying to get us to buy such old tech instead of selling us something new.

My sentiments pretty much the same. The HD7 was nice, the HD7S would be nicer. But the new tech with NFC and front facing camera, higher res displays, dual core CPUs and all that should be arriving around the first half of next year precludes any hardware purchase right now.

way to take an april1st joke serious a day after

I love WP7 but this is sort of a huge **** you to all their loyal T-mobile customers. Despite the buyout the HD2 and HD7 were the T-mobile phones to have. Now they took away T-mobiles biggest hardware selling point and the only reason to jump onboard T-mobile now is data packages. WP7 > android, that is all.

This isn't a joke, the HD7S was announced at CTIA and the thread was started on the 21st of March.

It's not a joke. It was over Engadget. The HD7S is, unfortunately, real.

[Q] so where are the official reviews?

so the sensation is out for a few days, but no official review yet on any site... odd

Apparently HTC hasn't sent out any handsets to reviewers yet which i find a bit odd :\

Why would a device go on sale before it can be sent to reviewers....have they got something to hide or are they trying to maximize sales just in case its a bad review, either way it doesn't give me great confidence.

I remember that the first day the galaxy S II was out, the net was floded with reviews, starting from engadget, techradar and so on... on the sensation case... nada

This is what i'm worried about
I've been waiting for this device since it was leaked as the pyramid all those moons ago.
It's been released and there's barelty a squeek on the internet about it. Only here is where you can get info about it really. Slashgear did a minimum effort with news to follow...but other than that...not really much.
For a company that are producing record profits, you'd have thought that they would spend a load of money on marketing and advertising to increase sales....I went into the vodafone shop on day 2 in Colchester and they said only one person had enquired about it all day (this was 3pm).
Are they saving everything for the Evo 3D?

Have I understood something wrong or is the phone only available from Vodafone at the moment? And isn't that exclusive for them for a couple of weeks or so? Maybe htc haven't sent any to reviewers yet, because the phone is not officially available until 27th of june?

The first review is online now:
http://www.slashgear.com/htc-sensation-review-23153699/

Ooops, made a new thread when i found that review.
My bad. Sorry.

I see your point about it not being officially launched.
However, why do you say June 28th is the official date? It's widely rumored to launch on T-mobile US on June 8th. Is T-mobile also getting some advance?

Pretty generic quickie review there. That recorded video is still awful looking, and falls in line with the other video captures floating around youtube. They seem to be giving it a pass, along with the "stereo sound". Their idea of a battery test is also as unconvincing as ever. Instead of running benchmarks in their videos, they should actually show the browser performance between the two, because that is really the only thing that will stand out the most. Ugh, I expect as much from slashgear.

I picked that date from some website and don't remember which one it was. But it will be released earlier than June 28th. I know that because my operator here in Finland is expecting it to be available around weeks 23-24. They are usually at least a week behind of the other operators here, so the T-Mobile launch for June 8th might be quite accurate.

Yea, it's going to be on T-Mobile June 8th. Once there you'll see plenty of reviews.

Argh!! I was hoping for official reviews so I could get this on launch day... (June 8th) guess I will have to wait another week or so.

You still have some time and it's quite likely that GSMArena will review it by then (I said likely, not definite).
There are still 2 weeks before the 8th after all

Sites like CNet might have something (short) the day before US launch. But that may be about it.

don't think this has been posted yet...

more of a quick first impression with a full review coming but I guess it qualifies as 'official'

AT&T Release Date???

Does anyone know when the HTC One X will be released for AT&T? Are the rumors for the chip production delay true??
Edit: May 6th is the confirmed date.

28nm high power processes are definitely down. The low power process may not be, we're not sure.

I thought AT&T is getting One X not XL...

I thought they were all the same phones anyway. Aside from the chip and the Storage.
I think we're expecting a summer release, not april.

Didn't HTC originally announce that this phone would be on sale within 60 days (from when they announced it) ?
Just to help clear up any confusion for anyone who didn't know this already,
The One X is the quad core version. The quad core processor is incompatible with LTE (being released as an ATT exclusive means that att will likely only carry the XL)
The One XL has the dual core because the dual core processor IS compatible with LTE . Also, from what I've heard, the dual core might actually be a better processor than the quad core anyway.
I think you guys already knew most of that though

@shorty
yes, you are correct. The projected window is within 60 days of announcement.
The phone has already passed through FCC, it's on it's way.

cant decide is i should switch to att. sprint 3g service is eh, sad that sprints lte rollout doesnt include los angeles ;(...... decisions decisions

I am really hoping a release date is announced soon. I went out and got a skyrocket under upgrade and now I want to return it (within my 30 days) so that I can pick up this phone. It all depends on the release date though. If it ends up being summer then I'm not gonna wait that long.

A general estimate is about late April to early May for the release.

My guess is since the rest of the word starts to sell these on April 5th and Sprint/HTC is holding an even April 4th... we will hear about a release in the next week or two about when AT&T will release it.

april 12th http://www.releasedates.co/product/htc-edge-release-date

I'd take that sites info with a grain of salt most definitely. I don't see it being legit. I hope so though.

It's definitely not legit. Look at how much storage it says it has. 32GB? Now, we know the AT&T version will only have 16GB of storage.

You're right. It will have only 16GB, like the Rogers unit, which is what I'm waiting for. No announcement yet, and I'm checking every day.

Other than that there's no way in God's name that I'm waiting until freaking May for a phone. Galaxy S II Skyrocket HD should be out by then and I'd pick that up before that.

The way I see it, be a release date not announced by mid-April, we're going to have a problem.

Idunno though, phones are out usually a month or so after being approved by the FCC, and our XL has been approved for awhile now, since beginning of march

Which is most likely to happen?

Which of these 2 events is most likely to happen as "planned"
Friday December 14, 2012
Rumored (for the 75th time) Jelly Bean Verizon release date
Friday December 21st 2012
Rumored (for the 75,000th time) End of the world.
At this point, I'm almost inclined to say the world ending is probably more feasible than Verizon actually delivering. At least Armageddon doesn't come with tons of bloatware.

They've updated that post with the following, so I wouldn't hold your breath:
Update: We aren’t sure why, but Verizon just changed the support docs back to a previous update. We’ll keep an eye on it and see what happens.
