I am not anti-iPhone nor an Android Fan Boy but having both phones (iPhone4 for work), the Android is the best by far, especially the Infuse...
When I got mine the AT&T store guy said they were "selling like hotcakes".

sent from Infuse but miss my captivate on cont. 5.5.... One day this can be as good...
I think with the Samsung Attain coming to AT&T pretty soon, as well as the iPhone 5 dropping in another 3-4 months (as per oft-repeated rumours) , ppl are holding out on buying this gem. I know a few captivate owners who're happy with their phones, and most ppl on iPhone 3g/3gs are waiting for the 5.
For me, the 4.5 inch screen, good battery life and sleekness of the device were an easy sell to ditch my iPhone 4 and get this. But I haven't seen many ppl with the Infuse at work, or when I'm wandering around in the city or on public transportation.
I think this may very well be the best time to get the Infuse. Mine is on its way from AMZ where it's priced the same as the local Costco ($129) which is incidently the lowest I've paid for a phone in years.
I contemplated waiting to see what Jobs have to offer this week at their conference as well as whether ATT will bring in the Infuse older bro. But at what cost and whether it would make a difference in my usage?
Now if only the stars line up in that (a) ATT won't prevent me from grandfathering in my unlimited data plan (esp since I did not upgrade in their store) and (b) the rooted or not Infuse allows me to do what I'm used to doing with my IP4 (tethering, Outlook sync, notes, CNBC streaming quotes, Stanza, A2DP e.g.) I'm good to go.

We have to think about the upgrade plans. I have both the Cappy and the Infuse just because my girlfriend changed her plan I was able to get it. Else, I think I would just wait for the Attain, but who cares, hopefully this time next year, quad core phones come out!.....
But loving every peace of the infuse than cappy. Wayyy better battery life, screen I think is about the same, camera, sleekness, and build quality I think is better than the cappy though...

The screen is certainly not the same as Captivate. The 4.5" screen is by far the best feature of the phone and the main reason I upgraded to it from the Captivate's 4".
I decided against the SGS II on this upgrade because of issues with headphone sound not being that great and a 4.3" screen ( I wanted a big screen upgrade from Captivate 4").
Apparently, Samsung decided to change the sound hardware in the SGS II and a reason why we will not see Voodoo Sound on it. Also, I see no reason for a dual core phone right now (at least for me) as there are no real apps that take advantage of it yet. In addition, Samsung will be releasing SGS III early next year.
Yeah I hear they're selling really well....but I haven't seen one around. The only one I've seen is the one my GF just got. I'm thinking about it myself.

Usually sales are for a week or two. I got my Infuse for $199 then they lowered it to $149 so I went back for the difference lol...they still have it for $149, but I'm gonna return it before my 30 days and most likely get it again the following week. Hopefully for the $99!!

I just took another glance at the ad. It says all prices and offers are good from June 19-25. So you have one week! Get on it!
The wife signed up with AT&T and got herself a nice little WP7 phone today. I was thinking about adding a line and buying the Samsung Infuse for $100 from them and rolling with it.
Thing is... I've had my HTC Evo for over a year and I run MIUI. I have for a long time now. I want the faster phone, bigger screen... cheaper bill than my Sprint!
Ideas? Thoughts? Anyone done this switch? Evo to Infuse?
It looks like a bad ass phone.. I do love my Evo though... The Evo is pretty bad ass in itself IMO.

I rarely switch. I usually just add...lol
However, the Evo is a nice phone and is similar to the Inspire, which I have. But the Infuse is a much nicer phone with the SAMOLED+, larger screen, better audio chip and stronger CPU. The only thing it needs right now is Gingerbread. It's still on FroYo. But rumor have the GB update coming out by the end of this month.
The Infuse is much lighter and the battery life is much better than my Inspire. It's also elegantly styled. It has 16GB internal storage. I love mine and am glad to have it.
It's still on Froyo? Wow. I didn't think any device like this was still using Froyo.
That just stopped me dead in my tracks.
im on 2.3.5 myself ... CM7 FTW

It's Samsung, expect this.
Anyways, we've got GB ROM's already, and 3 leaks, so it's bound to be released any day now (also, the GB leak is a build from like a week ago, so it's VERY recent).
Don't worry about the "It doesn't have GB" things, we do have it, just not released by AT&T.

You gotta rememver its still a relitively new phone. Official GB is on its way and should be here soon. Honestly the infuse is what i picked to hold me over til the nexus prime or the new samsung, i forget the name, note? W/e. Seriously this is an awesome phone and you wont be disappointed.

Hell, if they have CM for it then I think I can live with it. I'd miss MIUI though..
I will keep on pondering. Her phone should be here tomorrow and then I can sign up online with AT&T and add a line and all that over the computer. Then maybe I'll add myself a nice line with an Infuse.
I just posted by Evo on Craigslist. Doubt I'll get what I want for it.. http://sanantonio.craigslist.org/mob/2614360614.html

Well it's a relatively new phone, but Gingerbread was already old news when it came out, so what's really sad is that AT&T released it without Gingerbread to begin with. Then again, it's probably better that they didn't take the half-assed approach that Rogers did. :/
That said, depending on what features you depend on and how good AT&T's HSPA+ network is in your area, you can run one of the Rogers-based GB ROMs without any significant problems. And of course, as has already been said, official AT&T GB shouldn't be very far off.
Honestly though, I'd wait if I were you. While the Infuse certainly is better in a few areas, the EVO's a perfectly good phone. And not to knock our devs at all--they do a great job--but CM7 isn't really ready for primetime over here. If you want to run MIUI on an Infuse, expect a fair amount of inconvenience compared to what you probably have come to expect on your EVO. If you want to switch to AT&T, the Galaxy S II will be out in a week and a half, or if you extend your timeline to a few months, you can see what LTE phones get released.
Its tough man...both great phones...i would stick with the evo...it has more roms and stuff no reason to jump to the infuse when in 6 months it will be way out dated...
Galaxy note perhaps? Unless its too big for you -
S7 Infuse 1.6 Ghz
if you are in a city with frys electronics you can get the infuse for $20, or add it online! maybe that makes it easier to switch
A few good phones coming out soon, I'd wait.

I think I'll wait a couple of months. Let's see what else AT&T comes out with soon. Since the wife will have AT&T for a long time I think I'll just hold off and strike at the perfect time.
Thanks everyone for the advice. XDA is truly a great place to be a member of.
We actually do have MIUI, although it's the 8.19 one it's great!
The only big problem is the SD card can't be accessed from MIUI, but we have 16GB internal storage which is great! If you happen to get one, just PM me and I'll send you a link.
Will do.

You sir, are AWESOME!
Thanks for the heads up, this is the best deal I've seen for the Infuse (even better than the $50 TargetMobile deal awhile ago).
Been waiting for the iPhone 5 to show its face but I just might go ahead and get the Infuse at this price.
Wonder if Fry's can waive the upgrade fee?...

Have you tried scanning the threads in this forum?
Sent from my Calculator with Android.
I've just recently moved from AT&T back in August and jumped in on the free online offer for the G2X for both my wife and I. So far both phones have been running perfectly stock without issue. I know a lot of attention is being placed on the new Samsung offering but the pure Android experience is awesome. There is not much if any bloatware to complain about and the phone is very well constructed physically.
With anything in the technology industry this phone will be surpassed in speed but it's still a contender, even against the SGII and some of the newer HTC models. When I switched carriers this was the fastest phone available with the best features. I love T-Mobiles free WiFi calling and the Android unlimited data plan (20 Bucks) which goes along way for military users since I travel a lot.
Give the phone a shot, if not the SGSII is here and the HTC MG4G slide also offers specs near to that of the G2X.

No, it's not worth an upgrade from a mt4g to a g2x. I also came from a mt4g only reason i got the g2x was because i found one on craigslist for a steal and it didn't cost me my upgrade(waiting for the Hercules for that).
I would wait for either the Hercules or HTC Amaze 4g, but if none of those caught your attention... might as well wait for the s4 line of chips and or quad core early next year. The G2x is a beast of a phone, but so is that mt4g you got, it can still hang with most phones out today.

I believe the return policy is 14 days, or am I wrong?
your probaly right, i'm thinking of online purchases.
So here we are approaching the 30 day window for returns with ATT.
I previously had a ATT Galaxy 2 and returned it for the SkyRocket because I am in an LTE area. Well I love the LTE Speeds but I have some negatives with the SR and would like some input not flames.
Concerns:
1. Processor is not as fast as the Exynos and the benchmarks support the statement. As a result video's can get choppy.
2. Kernel Development is limited and moving slow.
3. ROM Development is limited and moving slow.
I could live with issue 1 since I think with development 2 and 3 will be resolved.
I am not taking potshots at the development members. I personally have made donations to several members in hopes of stimulating the development and I appreciate all that has been done but it's not moving very well. Each and every ROM has issues whether its MMS or LTE Support or SoD on the kernel development.
So do I stay or go? What are your thoughts are you staying or going?
Does anyone see any solid development on the horizon?
Overall I believe the device is not being adopted a a high enough rate and this is definitely caused by Samsung segmenting the market by morphing this device to each and every carrier. Which has hindered the development efforts for each of these mutated devices.
Thanks for your thoughts.

The sprint and at&t og sgs2 are the most similiar to the International one.
The ****rocket and tmo sgs2 are the mutated ones.
I was planning to get a ****rocket, but after reading about the LTE throttling, bad ppi, and snapdragon chipset, I decided to sell my og SGSII and go with the Note.
Lets just say, once you use the note, you will not be able to use small phones anymore.

i would agree, but the note is not LTE ready if you buy it overseas so you can keep it. once it hits the US with LTE i will buy it and will not look back.
for now i am very happy with the rocket, i dont notice this lag in videos or ****rocket talk. i had the sgs2 for a week and was not blown away buy any means in the comparison. do what you will - ITS YOUR phone and you have to live with it. i plan on upgrading to either the nexus if it hits or the Note once it hits anyway so the rocket is just a short stop for 4 months or so till one of thoes drops anyway.
Quadcores are just around the corner. Its pointless upgrading to a dual core. I will gladly keep my skyrocket until i pick up my quadcore sammy device. 4 cores mabye 2 gigs ram and a big super amoled with lte is what im waiting for

Nexus Prime or Original Nexus? If not prime then I see it as a downgrade instead of an upgrade.
Note is on my radar and that is one of the reason why I switched to blood sucking AT&T from Tmobile....... just so that I can use International phones.

The "Galaxy Nexus".
Not the Nexus One or the Nexus S. I ordered it from Expansys-usa should be here sometime this week. Nexus Prime was just a name they used when the phone was being developed. Cost me $729.99 with a -$20 coupon code for the site. The no SD card thing kinda bummed me out and thats originally why I bought the SR over it but after using google music during beta and now that its out and free. I have realized that 16gb will be enough storage for me since I can stream all of my music through google music. The SR was nice but I really want that stock android experience and not to have to wait for updates from AT&T or samsung. I got burnt out on waiting when using the Infuse. How many times did AT&T promise Gingerbread for the infuse...
If anyone wants the coupon code for Expansys usa its: 20OFFLS

Yeah LTE speeds are nice. But where I live there is no LTE. So The Galaxy Nexus was the right choice for me. Don't get me wrong the SR was a very nice device but I think i'm gonna like my Nexus better.

In terms of ROM, I have it working complete with 14 toggle mod, camera hack to use power button to click, 3200-3500+ quadrant (if it means anything really) without any special kernels no overclocking etc, no random reboots, no locks to freeze and take out battery etc., NO! SODs, no video lags (whatever folks talk of..have downloaded many videos and play them directly), no MMS issue at all !...Vis Voicemail etc all work..even modified the dialer so that have the Tmob type dialer with extra button for voicemail along side the button for the phone on one side and the messaging button on the other side.
only miss in-dialer video chat (3G direct..not talking of Google talk) that is there in I9000 (orig SGS not SGS2) ROMs and the Infuse (modified dialer there too for direct video chat)..the ROM for the Sky and the T989 do not support this (maybe trying to move folks to Google Talk..do not need that)..neither does the orig
SGS2 anyway
Even have a TMob rom set up for this device with all the above except Vis Vmail..even fixed in-call volume using I727 library files..
wonder what folks are complaining about..do not care 4G LTE all that stuff..it is fast no matter what..
however .lost 70$ because of this Exynos nonsense (in my opinion)..35 restocking fee to return and 35 to change from Sky to org SGS2 back to Sky..my loss the hard way.
I am not sure why everyone is freaking out on throttling. The SR is a nice device and I have seen no problems with the chipset other than some graphics like the default homescreen image and the boot image being slower than normal. This is no different than when new GPUs come out and all the benchmark apps and drivers have to be updated/optimized for the new hardware. Throttling only comes into play IF you are on an UNLIMITED data plan and you hit the top 5% of all other users on an unlimited data plan. For me around here, the throttling SMS came in last month at at about 6.5GB of usage but I never was throttled after using about another 1GB.
The SR is a nice device that I plan on sticking with until the quads hit.
My only complaint with Samsung in general is their damn bootloader code. But then again the laughs will be on those GS II owners as well once they update. hehehe. That would be a mute point if carriers listened to customers and actually gave them what they want or actually use vs. trying to force things down our throats. In my opinion custom ROMs beat carrier ROMs for one main reason - flexibility. Those authors usually remove the crapola and add back features the carriers like to remove.
Ill never return mine unless it breaks. Phone is too nice

The "Galaxy Nexus".
Not the Nexus One or the Nexus S. I ordered it from Expansys-usa should be here sometime this week. Nexus Prime was just a name they used when the phone was being developed. Cost me $729.99 with a -$20 coupon code for the site. The no SD card thing kinda bummed me out and thats originally why I bought the SR over it but after using google music during beta and now that its out and free. I have realized that 16gb will be enough storage for me since I can stream all of my music through google music. The SR was nice but I really want that stock android experience and not to have to wait for updates from AT&T or samsung. I got burnt out on waiting when using the Infuse. How many times did AT&T promise Gingerbread for the infuse...
If anyone wants the coupon code for Expansys usa its: 20OFFLS

Personally, I find spending $749 vs. $0.01 for something very marginal a little over the top, to be honest. In fact, I would not even consider getting a phone locked to 3G speeds even a marginal gain considering that it does not have any storage expansion. I would regard this as a downgrade. But different strokes for different folks, I guess. Yes, it runs ICS but the Skyrocket would be running this in a few months. In addition, as this is not a phone supported by a major carrier, it would not sell into millions and it would not create the accessory and development support that carrier phones would definitely have.
Now, regarding Android 4.0 vs 2.6.6. ICS is nice but not that nice. It really would not affect much of the functionality of the phone. What does one want to do that cannot be accomplished well in 2.6.6? I cannot think of much. Wow, now you would get to customize the bottom row of the icons and have resizeable gadgets and few more goodies. You would be bored with this in a day or two. Not worth the hassle. I simply concentrate on the functionality that I need.
Now, what I need is good OS-based voice dialing. That is not available even on ICS.
I brought up the thread for ICS which was a happy thing, but this is a sad topic. According to the att website, it is no longer available. It was on sale for a year, and it was one of ATT's biggest selling phone for a long time. It is now retired What are your thoughts on this? Btw heres the link to prove: http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/devices/cellphones.html
the infuse was out of production within about 3 months of release. any infuses sold after that were either overstock or refurb. this is no new news. no surprise. it's a nice phone with nice cameras and a big readable screen but it was the last single core flagship phone and was released after dualcores were common. it's out of date and less powerful than many second rate phones on the market today in processing power.
i dont think a better phone is necessary, but the hardware profile combined with the samsung firmware keeps rom ports from ever being viable without sacrifices. as much as i have loved the phone it's about to be time for something new.
I completely agree with Dani, when i purchased my infuse i knew it was second string with the galaxy s 2 already out. I was on a tight budget and it was the best option and im not surprised it is no longer for sale especially with the s3 coming very soon!
This is saddening but understandable news. I bought my Infuse back in November 2011, non-contract for $485 after taxes at my local AT&T store, the sales rep actually brought me out a Galaxy S II at first and asked me if I wanted that instead.
I paused for a moment and told him I did my research on both phones and told him I preferred the Infuse's specs. Was satisfied with the RAM, the single core, and impressed that it had better battery life; not to mention it was a good $100 cheaper. I was coming from the Motorola Backflip and just couldn't take the constant slow downs and limited internal storage any longer, and a bigger screen was what I needed.
Fast forward a few months, and here we are coming up on the stateside release of the Galaxy S III and ya know what, I'm still Infuse strong. Samsung did a better job on this phone than they realized. I'm not likely to get an S III because I'm still satisfied with this phone, even with my upgrade available in August. Don't get me wrong, the S III is an impressive phone in its own right, but now that we have ICS, I see no reason to jump ship, mine is sailing smoothly

+1 on the not jumping ship part.
I dumped an Atrix for the Infuse and couldn't be happier. Faster boot, bigger screen and it performs better, running non rooted one-click 2.3.6.
I would be satisfied with one more "patch" update to fix the few bugs left in GB ... although I made my infuse a 100 times better last week by switching to straightalk lol

Sticking with Infuse but waiting on GOOG
With GOOG's announcement of a line of GNex devices this year I'm waiting on their offerings before giving up my Infuse to the kids.
The GSIII is impressive and so is the OneX. But the Infuse is a good phone for the money
I'd recommend the Ebay markets to get good deals if you're asked for a good non-contract smartphone.
Ohh on an off topic note. I tried to copy a home vid to my Mom-InLaw's new iP 4s and I couldn't. Even with iTunes and imported the video, I couldn't just copy it to the phone.
Android rocks, pure and simple.
Yeah... I am actually thinking about moving on to the S3. I love ICS. I have 2 infuses actually in the house. One is my gf's and one is mine. She doesn't need bluetooth, so I loaded hers up with Legend 2 with Apex and its AWESOME...
Now I look at mine on GB, I am like.... man.... I really like ICS in terms of speed and features. Its got some nice stuff....
So yeah, Infuse ICS w/o bluetooth really makes me sad...... So probably SGS3 coming my way.

Try using Holo Launcher, it is a near perfect copy of the stock ICS launcher. Makes me wonder why I need ICS when GB already runs smooth as butter.

Where's the race?
I use Go, and their last update introduced the ics animations for the app drawer. If all you are looking for is the feel and look, there are plenty of options via gingerbread. None really being the "winner" as with most things...its about personal preference.

Stop... Please stop.
There's absolutely NO REASON to buy an Infuse when the SGS2 i777 has been going on sale for $9.99 new directly AT&T.
If you qualify for a subsidized upgrade and don't mind being stuck in another two year contract do yourself a favor and get a SGS3, SGS2, or SGS2 Skyrocket.
This phone is dead to Samsung. There will be no further updates. While the devs here are doing great work, the most stable ROMs are derived from official releases or leaks from Samsung.
My Infuse was a great phone but it's been relegated to being a backup phone/MP3 player.

I wasn't advocating that anyone purchase this phone. This thread was titled "Infuse No Longer Available".....I was stating that yes they are still available.
I got my Infuse earlier this year, just wanting to get rid of my iPhone. Android is better on any and every occasion. Now I just wish that I had got the GS2 or saved up for the note...
