Hi everyone. I am on At&t and have been waiting for the release of the Htc Holiday for more than three months. Seeing that it is launching so close to the Nexus Prime, (rumored) I was wondering if I should get the Holiday or Prime. I currently have a T-Mobile Nexus One on At&t, so I only have Edge speeds. I want my next phone to be At&t native so I get faster speeds. I am a huge fan of Htc and feel okay about Samsung.
Here are my questions:
Is the Nexus Prime going to launch on At&t?
If the Prime is launching on At&t, should I get that or the Holiday? Why?
Is there another phone that is coming out (on At&t) that I should get?
Do you believe that the back of the leaked Holiday is the real back, or that it is going to be changed? (I think it's currently really ugly)
--------------------
Thanks so much!

I would stick with the Google pure device, you can always flash a sense rom afterwards on the Prime, but the Prime will get Google support just like Nexus 1/S.
Okay, I looked it up and the Nexus Prime is rumored to be known as the Droid Prime, but only be on Verizon for a while. Now what do you think?
it is rumored that the droid prime phone will have verizon's droid branding. and the other cariers will have the pure google nexus prime branding. If this is true I am gald to be with att.
I read somewhere the Prime would be launched initially on T-Mobile so I doubt AT&T would get it anytime soon.

Same here. I hate the Droid branding. When people ask my if my phone is a Droid, I say no and lecture them.

I would believe that, however, At&t did get the Nexus S, so maybe they're on a better upgrade track now and will get it.
IBT is reporting that they expect it to release on AT&T this November 24th, which happens to be Thanksgiving.
i might just skip the sg2 and wait for the prime
i will buy the iphone5
becuz i'm korea and korea andriod phone is ****ing ****!

It doesn't mean it is either. Plus Verizon and Sprint really lowers the chance of AT&T getting one.

What are you talking about? The Galaxy S was on nearly all carriers. No reason that Galaxy S II will not be not to mention the rumored name will be AT&T Attain.
IT will be released by at&t as the Samsung Attain:

Go figure :O
But alas, no 4.5' screen
SGS2 will come to ATT, and most likely about same time.
It already passed FCC with ATT-specific frequencies.
So yeah. VZW news came first, that's all. Actually, second, Sprint SGS2 news came first.
Yeah the attain was announced like wayyyy last month.... ATT is first to the scene... Verizon and sprint is kinda on the coat tails...
Who cares about sgs2, I'm ok with the infuse and I will be eligible for upgrade on June 13 5 days from now and I will use that for the iPhone 5 to sell it for may be $1,500 or more in London. I hope.

actually that was a miscommunication.
they really meant to so Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1
I still have upgrade option after i upgraded to the infuse. has been there for a month now.. or so.
Attain or iPhone 5??? hmmm
Where did you buy the infuse?
this is false info...go back to the link read the bottom
UPDATE: False alarm, folks. According to This is my next, a Verizon spokesperson has confirmed that it'll actually be the LTE-enabled Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, not the Galaxy S II, that'll be launching next month

Yes transformer already pointed this out. It will be Q3 for all carriers probably september
I just bought Infuse 4g and love it (after iPhone 4 *sigh*). The only thing is disappointing is single core processor because new phones with dual cpu and decent gpu just started to come out. Samsung Galaxy S II is superior in this sense. The question is will it come out this summer on at&t because, I know from experience, it took a half a year to HTC phones to get to USA.
Should I return Samsung Infuse and wait for Samsung Galaxy S II?
how is it possible that the US will get that phone so ****ing late?! I live in austria and have it since early may. And the plans here are just awesome. 200€ for the phone; 20€ monthly for 1000 min. 1000 texts and 5gb unlimited internet..

5gb unlimited? well... which is it?
According to the rumors, Galaxy S II or Attain will come out late August/early September.
However if Apple's Lawsuit goes through there may be a ban of all sales of Samsung Smartphones in the US

From what I've seen these rumors are pretty accurate perhaps off by a couple months at most. But right now the lawsuit by Apple is quite a problem.
And I go well over 20,000 texts a month. LOL 1000 doesn't cut it. Not since 2005.

Hey everyone,
I was just curious, if you had the chance to go with whatever carrier and get any android phone...which one would you go with?? What is the best choice?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I would go with what ever carrier had the latest and greatest nexus Google phone.
If money wasn't an issue i would go with the SGS2...
Unlocked SGS2
Motorola Photon.
SGSII VERIZON
Trust me d-..-b im from the webs
Interesting reading following the topic of the SGS2

Exactly this^
If I was grandfathered in for unlimited Data at Verizon, and the SGSII had an LTE radio on Verizon, It would be the greatest possible scenario.
But because I am not on unlimited Verizon, I'll have to say SGSII on Sprint.
I'm currently on SGSII Unlocked with AT&T, and I'm not too impressed with them. The phone itself is fantastic though.
I would not go with AT&T simply because of the horror stories I have heard from some of their customers. That may seem somewhat ignorant, but having worked with both T-Mobile and Verizon, I don't believe I could go with any other carrier. T-Mobile's cutomer service is ridiculously good, and Verizon's coverage is amazing.
That being said, phones play a certain role in this decision making process as well. While I would not necessarily choose a different carrier simply because they had the phone I wanted, it would play a heavy role in my decision making process.
All of that considered, the setup I have now, an HTC Thunderbolt with Verizon, couldnt be better.
Galaxy SII, any network...
galaxy s2 hercules! a variant of the s2. its not even out yet, I dont have any preference for carrier though. we don't have AT&T Verizon and other big providers here
Thanks for the discussion guys! I want exactly sur what to do ..
Looks like I'm going with the SGS2 ha ha
Ilk keep ya updated ^ ^
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Motorola Photon.
I really hope the announcement next Monday is for SGSII on Verizon. I'd hate to be stuck with the bionic...
The best option now is the Samsung GALAXY S II from a hardware point of view or the HTC Sensation if you like the HTC Sense interface.
From the looks of it, the best Android phone coming out (that we know of) is the HTC Holiday? 1.2 GHz, qHD...it's supposedly coming out during the (wouldn't you guess) holiday season, AFTER phones on other carriers with 1.5 Ghz and 720p screens have been out for a couple months. Wth? From the looks of it, AT&T might not get the Nexus Prime (or whatever it's called, at least not right away). In fact, it's rumored to be going to Verizon, who is also getting the HTC Vigor, the Motorola Dinara, and a couple of the phones in that recently leaked Samsung lineup are going to Verizon.
Of course, where these phones go is all speculation...but damn, someone tell me my crappy carrier will be getting something good within the next 6 months!!
Perhaps I'm missing something...
The Samsung Galaxy S2 should be out next month. That will be the top Android device for ATT. And there is a slight chance they get the Nexus-Prime this Nov/Dec.
I would get the Galaxy S2. Will be a great device and last a long while if there is a steady XDA user base for ATT's version.

I dunno. It'll be a 1.2 ghz releasing about the same time as the other supposedly 1.5 phones, AND the screen resolution isn't even qHD, let alone at all on par with the 720p... You're right though, if the development is good (on XDA, etc.) then that does a lot for the phones lasting value.
But spec wise, it seems the SGS2 has been held off of US shores for FAR too long, and it risks being outdated almost immediately.
Are there really no other good ATT phones in our future? Can we expect some surprises to be unveiled in the coming weeks for phones on par with these beasts Verizon, etc. are getting?
Import an unlocked prime.
Well, AT&T is buying out T-Mobile and I'm sure with it will come a bunch of new phones for AT&T
There's rumors a Nexus Prime will be dropping for every carrier.
I'm confused i have seen expansys selling nexus s for AT&T but it's nowhere to be found on the AT&T site :/ , so it's only a Canadian model that happens to work on AT&T bands? the iPhone 4 is not on the AT&T site either, what's going on with that?
I'm hoping to get a nexus prime but since they don't seem to fully carry the nexus s, there's Little chance that they'll sell the prime

don't bother with Nexus 3 (prime) until it hit store shelf next year 2012
the first release is only on verizon network, not GSM
From what I read or maybe im blind lol but 2 nexus Devices Passed Thru The FCC lol

Well, no carrier stocked the Nexus One in their stores either (US).
When Google set out with the Nexus S they got away from distributing the phones themselves and needed someone with a distribution network in place. They partnered with Best Buy in the US and Car Phone Warehouse abroad to accomplish this. Part of the agreement was that it remained an exclusive device (for obvious reasons).
This gave them not only an established distribution network, but also a partner who could advertise to a broad customer base and get a hands on experience with the device. Every Best Buy had a Nexus S on display and they pushed it for the holiday season (Dec 16th release). This potentially drew in customers from other mobile networks who handled the device as well as gave existing mobile subscribers the chance to get a "hands on" with the device before purchasing. This was a huge step forward.
If you want to blame someone for not having it on AT&T's site, blame AT&T. They are the only ones who control that content. Best Buy has it listed for new lines as well as upgrades.
Here is why. It should come out on all carriers because Verizon has the best lineup. I know this really is not a reason, but they are getting the HTC Vigor, Droid HD, and supposedly the Nexus Prime. They are all 720p with amazing hardware, and the other carriers with have the SGS2 as their best phone. This is one of the other reasons it should not be a Verizon exclusive.
Soon to be Nexus Prime owner if on sprint
