Woah how'd you score one of the limited edition ones? Those apparently cost a couple hundred more than the regular ones!

Agreed, $300 premium for some android decals on the backplate is insanity, imho.
Hey, check your Settings/About screen and let me know what version of the kernel your phone came with.
I'm curious if the fact that it's an "employee edition" phone means you get the "debug" kernel....

Note is nice but I personally think its too big. I see it more of a business phone, not personal at all.

Yea it is big but my boss has the att one and its really nice and we all know T-Mobile is faster so who knows might have different specs just thought it was cool that we might be getting one

I had the note briefly and LOVED it, returned it cause there wasnt a stable modem/radio for us Tmo users...if this is true, im 100% back!!

Yay?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2

I still haven't had time to play with a Note yet, but its intriguing to say the least. It definitely looks a bit too large to use as an everyday phone but I'll give it a shot at least

You probably will be happier with the s3, it will be the next Gen phone.
Get the note if you need a tablet phone or high Res screen for more icons on the app drawer or something. I'm gonna wait for the s3 just because of the flagship and the proper balance of features and size and weight

If it comes to Tmo hopefully its the same but with an s4 processor
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2

I'm really really really hope it's the Note! But, my next upgraded phone will be a toss up from the sgs3 or the note!
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2

My uncle has the international version so I've had the opportunity to work on this device here and there. Using it daily really doesn't wind up feeling a ton bigger than the t989, only problems I've experienced are certain apps can't figure out if it's a tablet or a phone, so there's a fair amount of compatibility issues, but it's very slick.

But, and a big but, that phone is a Gen behind the s3

[Q] After The Blaze, What Is Your Next Device?

I plan on picking up the S3 at or before launch. Which means I am dumping the Blaze. :-/
What will be the next device you move to?
Sent from my SGH-T769 using XDA Premium App

Im thinking the S3 as well. Or maybe the Evo LTE. Im not a big fan of Sense usually, but from what I've heard Sense 4 is much better. Definitely going back to Sprint though.
Sent from my SGH-T769 using XDA

So you are wondering which device that people are gonna switch to after the Blaze, which came out like three months ago?
Errybody stackin chips and errything. lol.

Sense 4 is definitely a improvement but after having a s3 briefly its time for another.

Just meaning that they're expensive. Phone prices are comparable to home computers these days lol.
Also I'm bhurt cuz I started w/ the first mt3g, so I was spoiled by cyanogen early on. Now I f'ed up and
picked the wrong phone. BOO! T-mobile sucks. fully.

Going for the TMobile SIII. Been a big fan of Samsung galaxy line.

I'm holding out hope that one of Google's alleged 5 or 6 different Nexus line of phones will release later this year and that I'll like one of them.
The Galaxy Nexus for example, irks me to no end because it doesn't have a memory card slot. I have a 64g memory card, and there's no way I'm ever downgrading how much music I have on my phone.

[Q] Budget out of contract T-Mobile phone

My friend is on T-Mobile (for some reason) and just broke his rather old non-smartphone. He's looking for a new phone, and decided to take the jump to droid. He's looking to spend 50-100 dollars max and just wants a working device with a good dev community. Suggestions?

The s2 i think is around 100-150 and its a great phone.

Out of his budget though, we're looking for 100 as an ABSOLUTE max.

It might be 100. Or free with a contract.

Right. Ok well he is going to have a hard time with that. He MIGHT be able to find a G2 or a MyTouch 4G for around a hundred if he can talk someone down. But in all likelihood he'll be looking at a low end or very old model like a Comet, G1 or Cliq.

That's a very low price point, but a phone with a great deg community that is definitely selling for <$100 is the optimus t

You guys fail to be within his $200 budget for a used phone.
I suggest an AT&T Samsung galaxy s2 or a samsung galaxy s2 skyrocket. You should be able to get one on that budget. I got my skyrocket for $170 on new condition few months ago.

I bet you can find an unlocked GSM Galaxy Nexus for around 200$

Everywhere I looked for unlocked galaxy nexus was from 300 to 450

And the skyrocket you musta been lucky cuz the cheapest I found was 250 and the s2 I don't like cuz of the processor the atrix hd is the idea of what I want so I'm guessing I'm going with it cuz the phones yall listed are not in my budget thx though

You need to check swappa
They've got a couple on there now around 200$

If you're due for an upgrade, the Galaxy Note II refurbed was available for $199.99 very recently.

ATT galaxy note 1 used around 200 on CL
★♡★ AT&T Galaxy Note II ☆♥☆

I still just have the original Note and over a year later I'm still pretty happy. I do occasionally start jonesing for the note 2, but not sure about the life of a refurb, I think it only saves about about $50, but with the S4 out I expect a new note 2 to drop in price soon. BTW, I haven't touched my laptop in a couple of months, I live out where the bear does his business and this is the way I get internet. No cable or DSL is within 20 miles of me... I had satellite but its more expensive and slower.

Sent from my SCH-R920 using xda app-developers app

Have you considered looking into something from Pantech? The Pantech Burst, used, would save you about $100 from your $200 budget and is a very nice phone for the money. It also has a mostly-working CM10.
You could also look into newer phones like the Pantech Discover, In general, it's a good brand for the value-conscious.

Ok I decided to go with tmobile instead I'm thinking about getting the galaxy s blaze if I buy the $50 unlimited talk text 100 mb 4g speed and I run up the 4g will I have the hspa+ speed?
