Hi , At&t is offering me galaxy s2 for $230 as an early upgrade offer. my contracts ends in nov 2012, so if i take this upgrade offer, my contract would end in nov 2013, should i go ahead with this or wait for some new phones in june/july.
There will always be a better phone coming out in a few months. If you wait for summer, it will be the holiday season.
Samsung sold over 10 million GS IIs before selling a single one in the US.
Any flaw, what so ever insignificant, in the captivate is fixed in the GS II. It feels amazing in hand, super smooth and fast, plus there is already 7 different ROMs, and it hasn't been out a month yet.
You cannot go wrong with the GS II. Go into the store and play with it. After two weeks I have yet to find a flaw, or a way to make it lag, or hesitate.
My question for you is: how do I get att to let me renew a year early? (For next time)

AT&T is letting me upgrade a year early also. Pretty sure it's not a full discount upgrade, or what, but my contract isn't up until 2012.
the original retail price is $199 and they are offering me for $230. I just called customer care and asked for an upgrade for s2 they gave the above option...this is with a 2 year contract....

Don't do it! You'll feel ripped when the SGS 3 comes out, Think about how long the SGS 2 has been out outside the USA..... Or you can can get the GS2 as it is one of the greatest phones out there right now and it flies like the wind.
*Get Chance and Luck*
My contract ends in January 2012, but I got a Galaxy S II off-contract.
The thing's AMAZING!! Super light, amazing screen, extremely fast, the best in every aspect.
The price is not, it's $599 off-contract. But do what I did, scout craigslist and find people who are selling it new in box at a good price, or sell your captivate, or trade.
The deal I scored was $360 + hacked Motorola Backflip, and I have a spanking new Galaxy S II.. Just don't deal in a bad neighborhood and always make sure it's the Galaxy S II (Say's it on the back)
Save your contract/upgrade for the Galaxy S III

Patience and Negotiation my friend. There are people out there that just want to sell the phone and one needs to take advantage. Did the same thing for the original Galaxy S (Captivate), got it new in box for $350 when it was $599 at the time.
does the galaxy s2 with live wallpaper make the phone slow down when scrolling through apps?
what I wanted todo was..take the early upgrade option now and take it early next time to..by doing this I will have a new phone for a cheaper price...

It does not lag at all, it's buttery-smooth and shows no sign of lag considering the powerful specs and the hardware-accelerated browser, launcher, and touchwiz applications.

You get a faster upgrade cycle (discounted upgrades every year) if your bill is over a certain amount per month, which I think is around $100

That stopped this year. They changed it, from 12 months to the normal 20. After upgrading in September, I next qualify 5/2013. That's why I was curious how he got them to budge at all. I have another line that qualifies in December (start date 4/2010, never renewed), and the phone broke, I tried in store and over the phone, they won't let me upgrade early without adding like $100 to the price of the phone, not the gentle $30 the OP got.

The new LTE phone is not worth it considering that it sports a slower processor, and LTE isn't widely implemented

I have always had an 18-month upgrade cycle with them, $75 "earlier than that" option. But, I've been with them since the Cingular era courtesy of corporate discounting.

I was with att wireless, before they were Cingular, with a corporate sponsorship this whole time. In the past I have had 18 or 12 month cycles too. The att store told me they changed the policy a few months back so all future renewals are not eligible until 20 months. I'm ecstatic with my phone now, so it doesn't matter now, but if in a year I can upgrade for only an extra $30, I'll be all over that. Maybe by then the LTE phones will have battery life worked out, and my area will have LTE

I was talking to one of the managers at my local AT&T store and he was saying that he could upgrade me early and renew my 2 year contract, he said I would get the phone at the 2 year contract price, the only catch was I had to buy $200 worth of accessories to go with it. Of course he pointed out the the Jawbone Jambox is $200. I might use it for the Skyrocket that's coming out, I'm just having a hard time parting with my Cappy.

I've never had an Android phone, but something tells me the Captivate won't be the phone to have for 2 years.
But is it worth getting for 200 dollars? To mess around with and experiment with? I mean I'd use it as my main phone and all, but it's gotten such bad press, I'm not sure what to think of it. Not to mention the guy I am buying it from is switching to Sprint or Verizon because of a lack of HTC Android Phones on ATT.
So, should I go for it? It is a brand new Galaxy S, or a refurbished one... I don't know actually. It is in a box that was sent to him to replace his bricked Galaxy S from when he canceled an update.
And, is the GPS really that bad? Considering my Touch Pro's GPS is horrible, I don't expect much!
Off contract? Yes.
If I could switch to Verizon, Sprint, or T-Mobile, I'd be goner than gone.
Go for it. It's a good deal.

Any chance you will share where you can get this phone for $200 off contract. I paid that for min on contract. I would love to get one for my wife but she has another year before she is eligible for an upgrade.
If you go to at&t's site, login and try to buy this phone without a contract they will charge you over $400.
hehe. i'm just gonna pay the breach of contract and switch to sprint for the evo or the epic. not sure wich, but i'm tossing mine up on craigs list. oh, and overstock.com is advertising them for .01 with new contract...
Paid $120 for mine after I called AT&T and told them that my crenelation is less than $100 or they can sell me the new phone for $120. The never thought twice and overnighted the phone to me for the $120.
I paid 230 for mine the first week it came out. I eventually went to best buy and got 80 bucks from them when they put it on sale
I paid $200 for mine. Totally worth it.
Coming from an x10 user, this phone is really good. Of course there is better, there always is hurting the price that you're getting is really good too.

So as the galaxy s II will soon be launched in the U.S. i was wondering how many of you people were getting it. I ask this because i dont know if i should wait til next year, which is when samsung has been known to release a dual core 2ghz phone... (is this even trustworthy?)
so i was wondering how many of you guys were getting the galaxy s II or just waiting for next year perhaps, for the dual core phone.
i plan on getting it once its released in the U.S. and when the first samsung phone with a 2ghz dual core processor is released, ill be getting that too. im a phone whore.
I knew once I would get my Captivate, a better phone would come out... Low and behold the Galaxy S II. -__-
The best price I've found for the SGS II is $743 shipped from Handtec. I'm very tempted.

Yes. And you're doomed to delayed updates, no free tethering, no unknown sources apps, less dev support, removed features, etc. etc.
Look at the Captivate compared to the i9000. It's the same thing. And there's no guarantee that the i9100 ROMs will be portable to whatever bastardized thing ends up on AT&T. For a long time the Vibrant could run nothing but Vibrant ROMs. The Fascinate is totally boned.
So if you're interested in any of that, then yes.
Otherwise the i9100 will work on AT&T.
I'm gonna wait out my contract and buy an international S3 model when it comes out. I'm tired of being f*cked by AT&T (week long service black-outs with "no known issues", billing errors, hidden fees, dropped calls, etc.) and would rather jump on an MVNO or something

Another option, if in fact Samsung plans to do that.
I plan on waiting until at least end of the year before I buy a new phone. The captivate really has some of the best hardware around right now even though its not the top anymore.
I kind of want the kyocera echo. But I definitely want some with stock gingerbread. Might just wait and see what device gathers a bunch of support.
can you just buy a international version of galaxy S II and then use it on at&t?
would you have to unlock to do that?
ANd do you guys think the galaxy s III will come out about 2012 may?
and then you're galaxy s3 will be obsolete when the 3ghz processor comes out, just buy now because you'll be waiting for ever for the next best thing.
Wow ~$700 from overseas? That's actually a great deal. Just wish I had that money to toss around. Instead, I'm using $1000 as a down payment on a new car.
Oh well..
I got my Captivate at the end of July so my contract will be up summer 2012 so at the current rate of releases the S3 will be out or some other phone that is so much better at that time will be out.
I'm poor and cheap so I have to buy on contract

Well using the poor and cheap is bad, I would say it is smarter because why pay $ 500+ for a phone off Contract if the contract price is $ 200? I have paid on contract $ 500+ for a cell phone and never again *Blackberry Bold 9000 when it first came out*, and the phone started having physical problems 5 days before the captivate came out and ATT let me upgrade a week early with out having to pay an early upgrade fee. I have not had any issues at all with my captivate and it runs fine.

by 2013 amd will make a 3watt processor on 28nm architecture, likey multi core. i think that could support 3ghz+ on low voltages, maybe more. they plan to use it in an andriod tablet.

I haven't seen the specs but if it's compatible with ATT's bands then that would be the way to go. You would definitely not have to unlock as it wouldn't be locked to begin with
International phones are not locked to any carier. They have more consumer friendly laws in Europe than we do here in gitmo nation. If I am wrong please tell me.

YES, just saw this on engadget and ordered myself up a shiny new Skyrocket! It'll be a huge upgrade over my Nexus One. I'd been hoping for the Galaxy Nexus on AT&T, but that'll likely be $250-$300 on contract... too hard to pass up $0.01.
The deal works great for me since I've ported my number to google voice, I can easily add a new line and the new phone number doesn't matter since I just point GV to the new number. My current line is out of contract so I just cancel it when the skyrocket arrives and I should only be out the penny!
yup returning mine under BRE as soon as the amazon one comes in
That's one cent too much for what that phone's worth. Meaning if you can't use LTE why bother. Might as well get the regular S2.
I jumped on the penny deal from amazon to pick up an ATT one.
I didn't opt for the wireless tethering/hotspot hoping that I can root and get the Wireless Tether App running correctly.

Ordered mine last night. Can't wait to get my hands on this beast

This right here ^
Ordered mine yesterday. Will be here today. Only worried I keep hearing that samsung's in house SoC is better and this won't get much in ROM support.
The size, fact that I'll have a LTE phone when it's here & the price sold me though
Samsung's SoC is better but Qualcomm has a better radio. What's more important to you?
The radio, I live in a area that is quick to get network updates so I'm sure LTE will be here sooner than later
Ordered two of these a couple days ago! Bigger screen and faster processor than the standard S II! Just got them an hour ago, at the doc with my wife right now. Tried setting them up but data won't work, gotta take them to a store after the doc. They are fast! I won't miss my inspire haha

The large screen is drop dead beautiful and it's incredibly fluid...despite comments that it's laggy (though, all phones get laggy at some point, I just think most of those came from people that were s2 processor snobs ).
I am coming from an iPhone 4 but I'm already pleased with this beast (still love my iPhone and iOS but that's another story but I've always loved both operating systems -Android/iOS-). Can't wait to fully enjoy it and set it up however I want/need.

Who says that you cannot use LTE? I live in the Bay area which does not have LTE (will be here next year) but I was in Chicago recently that had blazing LTE speeds. Yes, AT&Ts LTE network is thin right now but it would not be so by the end of 2012

You may have already heard the news released today about the Samsung Galaxy S3 arriving in stores on June 20th (fingers crossed ) but I thought I would post it for others to see. T-Mobile also has included release dates for a few other phones like the Galaxy Note (way too big ) and the Mytouch line of devices. The fallowing information has been provided by TMOnews.
Samsung Galaxy S III 16GB Metallic Blue – June 20th
Samsung Galaxy S III 32GB Metallic Blue – June 20th
T-Mobile myTouch (Huawei Phoenix) – July 11th
T-Mobile myTouch (Huawei Buddy) – July 11th
Samsung Galaxy S III 16GB Ceramic White – July 11th
Samsung Galaxy Note – July 11th
* I got my eye on the Blue 32gb. SGS3....(Pebble Blue)
What are you all thinking?
July 11th for me, not wasting my time with the blue version. White is just too pretty.
Hope they release the radio for the note before the release of the t-mobile note. I just don't see myself rockin a smaller screen lol

Not sure about price...How much does a Note go for on other networks? Probably similar pricing? I bought my SGS2 for full price the day it came out and I kicked myself for doing so. I had the MT4G in one hand and the SGS2 in the other, what am I supposed to do? lol....I called T-Mobile this afternoon to check on my upgrade status. and what do ya know? This June I will be due for a full upgrade, just in time for the worlds greatest smartphone aka SGS3. Or until a better phone drops 2 weeks later....haha. My guess is no less than $600.00, and who knows about the difference in price from the 16gb to the 32gb? I cant imagine it being over a 100 dollar difference between the two, but what do I know. Our luck it will be like $850.00 or something ridiculous...
T-mobile is notorious for making you pay way too much for a phone even when you have a full upgrade available. Needless to say I'll be waiting to see reviews and developments before I jump onto any of these, even though the galaxy III is calling my name.

The last time I bought a phone, upgraded, and added a 2 year contract on my plan was when I got a Blackberry Curve 8900 right around when the phone came out for close to $300. I've been using a jailbroken/unlocked iPhone I bought from a friend up until I got my S2 about 6 months ago. I paid $400 dollars (With a $50 dollar rebate, whoopdeedoo...) out of pocket with an obvious full upgrade at a T-Mobile store not an "Authorized" reseller. Close friend of mine paid the same amount as me shortly afterwards.
I would have much rather have paid the glorious $99 dollars you paid. Did you get it during a promotion?

I got my TMO Sensation 4G in 8/2011 and it cost me $229 up front. Was supposed to be $249, but the salesclown screwed up and initially said $199. I was going to walk away, then he offered a bit less and I took it since I really wanted the Sensation. My big mistake, picking the phone first instead of the carrier. I didn't realize TMO coverage is not so hot here in Vegas. I will be switching to either Verizon or Sprint in 14 months unless TMO dramatically upgrades their coverage.

I got my TMO Sensation 4G in 8/2011 and it cost me $229 up front. Was supposed to be $249, but the salesclown screwed up and initially said $199. I was going to walk away, then he offered a bit less and I took it since I really wanted the Sensation. My big mistake, picking the phone first instead of the carrier. I didn't realize TMO coverage is not so hot here in Vegas. I will be switching to either Verizon or Sprint in 14 months unless TMO dramatically upgrades their coverage.

What part of town? The Sensation 4G has mediocre reception, I had one. T-Mobile's biggest problem is EDGE coverage, not a total lack of. Thankfully after two years of them basically stopping any major investments in the Las Vegas area, they are picking back up again. Mountains Edge just got 4G HSPA+ instead of the 3G it was on.
Dude I can't wait!!!!!
So I'm gonna retire my thunderbolt and get they galaxy note 2 that phone just looks sweet and all the things it's capable of sounds good to me

I will probably be getting an Nexus 4 come January. I hate not having LTE, but I don't think I can pass up the deal. And I have been wanting to get off of Verizon. They are so awesome yet so infuriating. The delay of the ics release for the thunderbolt is kind of the final straw. On November 13 we will be like four major releases behind. Already two generations behind. Enough is enough...going to take my dollars elsewhere.

I concur. That's my thinking, as well. I will probably eat six months of ETF and flip the Bolt on fleaBay.
Verizon, you're such short-sighted [email protected] You could keep my money and loyalty if you just loosened up and gave us the ability to support ourselves, you amateur f%^C&sticks.
I do admit, the Nexus 4 for $349 on StraightTalk using AT&T's 3G/4G HSPA+ network for $45/mo. is a really tempting deal.
Not in tending to spam, just on teh subject of replacing the Tbolt with the Galaxy Note 2, Newegg came out with a strong price cut:
