Next Phone?

The Captivate community here on XDA is nothing but awesome. So, I'm asking everyone: where are you going next? Will you be switching to Motorola and the Atrix 4G? Sticking it out with Samsung and the Infuse 4G? Maybe an Inspire 4G?
Please vote in the poll. I'm interested in seeing where Captivate owners are planning to head in the next couple of months.
PSA: Atrix 4G Pre-orders are LIVE! Only $399 off-contract with $100 discount!

I don't know because I have over a year on my contract. By that time who knows where we will be. I do think next time I get a phone it will be after its been out for a while. If it were the next couple months I think it would be the atrix.
This is my captivate. There are many like it buy this one is mine.

Im seriously considering the atrix but the infuse looks impressive they both have awesome features...im torn.

The infuse is nothing more than an overclocked captivate with a 4.5" screen, its nothing new. The atrix on the other hand has a dual core cpu, 1g of ram, fingerprint reader and that nifty webtop thingamajiggy.

The only thing drawing me to the Infuse is that screen. But the qHD screen on the Atrix should be cool, too.

The Atrix is going where I've wanted to be for a while. If my phone is as powerful as a laptop, why have two separate devices? I'm a bit upset about the Infuse because it's what the Galaxy S line should have been. That all being said, I'll probably cave for the Infuse because of the "flashability" and brilliant screen.

Most people would disagree about your statement on the Galaxy S supposed to have been like the Infuse. I like a 4" screen and beyond that the Infuse really does not make much of an impact. The bad thing about the Galaxy S is Samsung not releasing source code.

I have 2yrs left on my contract so by that time phones will be installed into our brains

I despise Motorola phones, so I'm not touching those.
Samsung has been reliable, I'm not sure that I'd want to deal with the Captivate's jank anymore, and I don't trust Samsung to provide updates especially if they're corrupted with TouchWiz.
I love using HTC phones and their spec sheets and feel just seem so refined.
Alas, I'll probably defect from ATT. They've thrown too much crap into my face over the past 6 years. My employer can foot for my business phone, its service is far too unreliable for me. I'm probably going to Verizon.

You should have made the choice "Stuck with the Captivate" instead of "Sticking..."

I am a fan of the Infuse's front facing camera, 8 mp main camera with flash and moderately improved processor. When the Captivate was released, it was competing with the Evo and Iphone 4, both of which had better specs (on paper). I worry that AT&T will cripple the Infuse as they did the Captivate and take away it's competitive features to conserve network bandwidth. Plus I'll need evidence that the GPS works on the Infuse ;-)

Thats what i thought, but look what moto just posted.

I was wondering when this thread would pop up... I'm digging the atrix's raw power... but really we should all reserve judgement until MWC has passed. I'm sure there's more stuff that'll blow us away there

Atrix FTW

You get me.

I think most ppl expectation of the Atrix is too high, unless you plan on running it stock.
And for those dead set on getting it, be prepared for a big change when it comes to Motorola development section, not much happening there compared to Samsung section.
I will wait about a month or so after release before buying 2 of the units in the poll (off-contract). I've learned that having patience on buying any electronic device that is first introduce can save you alot of headaches.

Well, I don't really have a manufacturer preference and I don't buy phones as an update, ie, not locked into 2 more years so I shop around different carrier phones. Actually though I get a great ATT plan through work so I'm not leaving, still using original iPhone unlimited data plan.
That said, I got my wife the HTC HD2 and about 2 weeks ago loaded the NAND version of Cyanogen. I must say if there is a newer version of the HD2 that runs Android, and works with ATT 3g in about a year or so i will be all over it. That is actually quite an awesome phone and if it worked with ATT 3g I might actually trade her.

I'm betting MWC doesn't bring AT&T much. Perhaps the second Galaxy S, but I'm thinking it will launch in several months, like the Captivate did.
MWC - February 2010 - Announcement of Galaxy S GT-I9000
Captivate announced - late June 2010
Captivate released - July 2010
The Atrix is looking at a possible March launch. So, it'll probably be a few months ahead of the Galaxy S2.
After dealing with Samsung's lack of updates, GPS problems, shut down problems, I'm personally inclined to give Motorola a shot with the Atrix. Let's hope there is an unlocked bootloader.

[Q] Nexus S or Vibrant 4G?

T-Mobile to Launch Nexus S clone with TouchWiz - Vibrant 4G
EDIT: Probably a fake picture.
Vibrant 4G looks to be a complete clone of the Nexus S, plus these four things:
http://briefmobile.com/vibrant-4g-front-camera-android-2-3-gingerbread
Vibrant look
4G HSPA+
microSD
Android 2.3 with TouchWiz
Doesn't this feel kind of screwy? At least Nexus S users will have NFC, constant updates straight from Google, and a bare skinned Android 2.3 build. Plus the contour screen.
IMG SRC: BGR

Ewww, no thanks. Looks like a Vibrant Nexus S bastard child.

Turns out it's probably a fake picture. Check out the updates.

Yep.

The picture is fake, but about the final product having 2.3 is up in the air. So many damn Samsung rumors ruin the actual release of the phone. Plus, I doubt 2.3 is on the phone.
It takes Samsung approximately 3 months (assuming the rumored release date is right) to make 2.3 while it takes them about 5-6 months to release 2.2 on Galaxy S (original). Yeah, I don't believe it. Also, why have a USA phone get 2.3 before the motherland? I believe Korea got Froyo before everyone else and then after them it was the international Galaxy S.
Of course, I could just be wrong.

Nexus or vibrant 4g?
Hey guys im looking to go from the vibrant 3g to the nexus s or the newly announced vibrant 4g.
I love the ffc. Does the nexus perform ok on video calls over 3g?
Does the nexus have dlna support like all other galaxy s phones?
If anyonr came from the vibrant 3g to the nexus s would you do it again or go for the new vibrant?
Thanks.

First time I've seen Vibrant 4G vs. Nexus S.. but yeah there are a lot of "should i get Nexus S" threads.
I'm just gonna go ahead and say:
What kind of user are you?
1) Do you care about the latest hardware?
In this case.. I WOULD not get either phones and wait for a Dual core. As great as this sounds, there are consequences for this [refer to (2)]
2) Does it bother you not having the newest and latest version of Android?
This is the main reason why I moved from the Vibrant to the Nexus S and will be only making purchases towards Nexus devices in terms of contracts.
With a Nexus device, you are guaranteed updates coming directly from Google itself. Google will open source kernels, drivers, and whatever is necessary for devs. I dont do OTAs but it does help the community out by always having the newest and latest.
In my opinion, latest software > hardware because the latest hardware phones are crippled by custom skins (motoblur, htc sense, etc). Although, I DO like the features TouchWiz brought to the game (power widget on notification bar, video codecs, etc) but the lack of software updates is disgusting including the closed source of the leaks which limited development.
Not to mention, winning the "latest software" war is far more easier than latest hardware. Newer hardware is coming so fast that you can't catch up. For example, Tegra 2 is now starting to release on various phones. But media reports that Tegra 3 will be ready soon... so, whats the point in getting a 1st-gen dual core? Just wait for a 2nd-gen. Sources can be googled regarding this.
3) Vibrant 4G is pretty much a Vibrant, you can add a FFC camera to your Vibrant and it already has Froyo.. so..... and HSPA+ speeds of 21 Mbps is just theoretical, it doesn't necessarily mean you'll hit it. Also, why would you need that high of Mbps? Not that im complaining, but really... we're not downloading torrents or anything here so whats the point? I'll live with my 7.2 Mbps.. not in a rush for higher speeds.
Edit: Sources --
Dual-core processors will be the standard in 2011, and quad-core is coming in the near future.

ARM provided a window into the future of smartphones tonight when they announced the Cortex-A15 MPCore processor. The new design will be used in 32nm and 28nm chips with 1-16 cores, with clock speeds up to 2.5GHz.
Before you get too excited, ARM does not expect these processors to arrive in phones until late 2012. By the time they are available, ARM says to expect five times the performance of the Cortex-A8 CPUs that we find in most current smartphones, at a similar energy footprint.

I know it does. Really I do. But I never have a problem helping on xda. I expect these things here. Qa is a broken record. It could of been ive bricked my phone lol.
Really thanks though.
It would appear 2.3 may be the only reason to get the nexus s right now.
And if the rumors are true and there is a nexus s 4g coming that would suck.
I think ill wait to see the vibrant 4g and how much it changed from the vibrant 3g.
Thanks for your input.

Nexus S 4G is a rumor. The I 9023 (or whatever its going to be called) is possibly just a Nexus S that uses the Super Clear LCD screen rather than Super AMOLED due to shortage(?). And besides, Google owns the name "Nexus," so I seriously doubt Google would do that to their customers.
I don't even get what the hype about Vibrant 4G is.. its a FFC and Froyo. You can apply a FFC to your Vibrant and you already have Froyo.
But... have fun with Samsung's updates if you decide to get a Vibrant 4G
Nexus S is out of Samsung's hands to update.
@Slowz3r: The Vibrant 4G picture is a fake. It's a Vibrant with FFC and Nero v5.1 (or v4?). Status bar has AM/PM, stock Gingerbread does not.

The google updates sounds great. Really does. The vibrant has horrible wait times for updates. The broken gps.
But I do use my phone more for movies, music, and internet than anything else.
You make good points about that.
It sounds more and more as though I may need to wait here.
Those dualcore phones are great looking but they are slready talking triple core.
So it seems in 3mnths anything I buy will be outdated by 10 fold.

It's my opinion on the matter, compared to sammy

I've had 2 htc phones prior to getting my skyrocket. Things to note about htc:
Build quality = 7-8
Design = 8+
quality of materials = 9
Overall experience = 8
That being said... The one x looks and seems to be a great phone. Super fast, nice screen, great design, and cutting edge specs. The camera is supposed to be very nice, but htc doesn't use the known amoled display. Colors may be less vibrant but at 1280 x 720, you may not even notice. Would I ditch the skyrocket for one.... Maybe if I get to hold the phone and am impressed by it. Truth be told, you should stick with what you got and possibly get the next gen handset when it becomes available. One thing to note.... HTC usually give timely updates where they see fit. As where Samsung (in my experience) take their sweet time. All of this has been based on my own experiences and personal opinions.

HTC do make great phones, but Samsung's phones are overall better made for the android consumer imo. Samsung doesn't waste time with bs aspects such as 3d (which no one ever used anyway). Before the one series, they were all clunky, heavy, and had a hard time lasting 8 hours on a single charge. Don't get me wrong, i've owned both htc and samsung devices, but I just think Samsung has it together, atleast more than HTC right now.

One X

I would wait, the one x and the s3 are just gonna be warm up phones for what's coming for holiday season. You will have serious buyers remorse at that time.

Personally, I'm hoping against hope that the skyrocket HD is released next weekend as well since Spirit is getting its G-Nexus.
I like the specs on the One X, and would consider getting it, BUT what the f*ck is up with only 16 GB and no micro SD support?!?! Really??? Only 16GB!! Such a deal breaker. Hell I have almost 8gb of music & after a nandroid backup or two, there ain't nothing left.
Sure, SGS III is a no brainer, but I'm not waiting another 6 months for it to make its way to US carriers... which you know it will, even if it does get release world wide this summer.
Come on AT&T, give me a f*cking release date on the skyrocket HD already!!!

Well
is it so much of an upgrade that you cant live with out it? i dont see much difference except the better screen and supposedly better battery, but ill agree it beats it out a bit in preformance due to RAM but from this article, http://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-s3-vs-samsung-galaxy-s2-82255/
im still pretty happy with my GSII. i think the GSII is sleek, thin, and good looking. im keeping mine and not worried about an upgrade.

I was going to wait for the s3 back in like February but the wait seemed so long so I just went with the skyrocket and love it! I'm glad that I didn't wait, not saying the s3 isn't good but not that big of an upgrade

is it so much of an upgrade that you cant live with out it? i dont see much difference except the better screen and supposedly better battery, but ill agree it beats it out a bit in preformance due to RAM but from this article, http://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-s3-vs-samsung-galaxy-s2-82255/
im still pretty happy with my GSII. i think the GSII is sleek, thin, and good looking. im keeping mine and not worried about an upgrade.

Also has a quad core exynos processor, but that's for the international version, no telling if we will see that on att though.

The GS3 seems great, but that screen is way to big for me... even the skyrocket is a bit too big to fit in my hand and its even annoying some time. The perfect screen size is about 4" IMO

that's iphone territory.

I love my Skyrocket! Best phone I ever owned hands down!
That being said, I will probably get an S3 anyways cause Ima phone freak.

This is my mindset at the moment haha...and yes...I do believe 4" is leaning too close to iPhone territory. Skyrocket and gs3 are perfect sized IMO

Watch it have an S4 in the US

An S4 Quad would be nice, determining how a S4 dual compares to the T3. i honestly don't think Samsung is stupid enough to announce the GS3 stretching the quad core thing out as the biggest feature, and release it here in 'merica with a dual.

I'm kinda thinking that LTE is where the carriers want to go... So I'd think that until the manufacturers can get LTE to work on the quad core, we're going to see a "North American" version Dual Core LTE Slll. But who knows, there's still plenty of Markets in Canada & the US, which don't have LTE service.. so maybe we'll see both the Quad & Dual core phones in N. A.... Just to keep Samsung's penchant for having technically different phones, with the SAME Damn name....

Galaxy S3, so who is in?

Hey Fellow Infuser's....
So are you guys thinking about going S3? I am sort of on the fence about it as I am due for an upgrade, but the S3 is launching with a 2 core LTE.
I am thinking they might due the old switcheroo with like the S2 and the Skyrocket bs.....
Would you guys wait for a quad LTE, as the Tegra 3 is has already been through ATT's test?
What do you guys think? Thanks!

NOTE....!

i will get a unbranded unlocked international version

Would love to, if I were due for an upgrade.

I've been thinking of getting the international version that has quad core...but idk, that would mean I would have to sell my infuse...which I really don't want to-i love my infuse lol...but the geeky tech side of me wants the latest and greatest even if the hardware can't be fully utilized lol
Anyways...the duo core coming for att is supposed to have 2gb of ram I believe, where the quad core only has 1gb...

Why the international version? It has no LTE.... HSPA+ is slow enough on my Infuse.
By the way, Samsung already released the source code for the SGS3, so I mean AOSP is going to be on the US carrier phones pretty soon.
All of the phones coming to the US is 2GB's of RAM.
Infuse is a pretty good phone, but I like the new design with more rounded edges and the blue looks pretty hot....
Quad core with LTE is what I am thinking of waiting for but I wonder how far that is along?

old hardware? Actually in this tech world anything more than 3-6months old is considered out date, so it seems....

Its basically the same phone as the SGS3, but pixel density is higher on the SGS3.... but that might be because of a smaller screen.... So basically the exact phone except with some software changes.....
Its the same?

I also got the unbranded note n7000 . I dont think i need the quad core but i do need bigger screen

the international version is tempting but the sgs1 is still badass imho. power isn't everything.. i'm keeping the infuse unless i break another one. then if i have the money it'll be the international sgs3 or if i dont ill get another infuse or captivate.

Hey, Dan.
Long time no see...Hope you're doing good.

hey infuse family !,
yah ya know, just thinkin' since that GSIII will only be sporting duals, id halfta deffinetly go with G-NOTE. If possible, i would overclock her duals to 2.0 ! (im guessing this may only be in my dreams), but if not maybe rock her out to 1.7, 1.9? really get in der and joust her jowls !! And then get that newer hacked/modified S-pen app ive been seein floatin round!! anyone see it? its like a crazy lil' miniature photoshop on the go! and oolala is that stylus like a samurai sword, so precise !! and um, yah !, that good dense pixel-populated screen is soo beautiful and crisp and fine, and the best part of it all is her size ! she's like a gargantuan plus-sized sexy momma, and i cant get enough, i even wish she was bigger cmon samsung give me a full figured 6 incher !! lol !!!
cheers brothers!

While we are on the subject which one the note or the gs3 and reasons why? From what I can tell the at&t versions will be pretty much the same specs but the notes bigger and bigger battery.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium

Same specs as note... not true. The s3 has 2gb ram and the s4 which annihilates the s3 (note) and does better in tests then the tegra 3. Idk about the new exynos, but id be happy with the gs3 over the note sadly. Note 2 is going to be the best no doubt.

Btw here is att page on the gs3, click on learn more and there you have the major specs for you http://www.att.com/galaxysiii/?wtSlotClick=1-007JMY!903919-1-1&rel=nofollow#fbid=42LHi-vzBIX
BTW it looks like we are getting a home button! Yes im soooo happy about this, finally it will look awesome and look exactly like the international ones.

yeah, i still lurk but i went without a phone for a while and in that time renewed my interests in other things like guitars.... i got another infuse but i just haven't been active on xda for a while. i've been running cyanogenmod but i'm ready to re-explore lb3 soon. i like my phone to function as close to 100% as possible. some stuff in aosp is way better but i need my hdmi and bluetooth (well more so the hdmi. i cant remember the last time i used bt 'cept to sync contacts)

Oh noooo. Im crossing my fingers bigtime. Im going to run over to verizon and tmobile sites to check.
Edit: on verizons site i see no marking like that of atts, i hopefully think that att said that just because later on they are getting a red version http://shop.verizonwireless.com/?id=galaxys3
