I'm returning my atrix 2 possibly this Sunday in order to buy one of these two phones.
Which one would you suggest and why please?
I'm leaning towards the vivid as I like sense more than touchwiz but once the roms start rolling in that won't matter much.
Thank you for your input.

I'm thinking for upgrade also. I'm in the same boat. Do you have unlimited data on att? Is there any word on LTE plans? I'm mainly interested if we'll be grandfathered in LTE unlimited.

I don't have unlimited data which sucks. I wish I could tell you that you would be grandfathered in on lte but I don't even think att knows right now since it's barely out. As far as I've read the same rates apply for the 2gb plan and the 200mb plan. That's about all I know so far and I'm sure if you call am att store they won't be able to help you much.
So, which phone are you leaning towards? And why.

In my opinion, you should go for HTC Vivid...
For now I like the Skyrocket better, still not decided yet. I've had HTC before and I loved it...
Specs-wize, except the screen resolution, my vote goes to Sammy mainly for:
- faster CPU (1.5 vs 1.2), and, for what i've read are both snapdragons,
- battery (1850 vs 1600)
- 2.0mp front camera,
- NFC,
- super amoled (if you're a fan), unfortunatelly only 800x480, which, by today's standards is quite low (most high-end phones have qHD (960x540), nevermind the idevice or the nexus galaxy)
- touchwiz (maybe?)
On the other hand, HTC:
- good history of building quality,
- qHD screen
- the camera is stated to have an aperture f2.2 28mm wide-angle lens for low light photos (definitelly have to try it to see), and 60fps recording
- don't think the $50 difference really matters, but its a '+'
- HTC sense
Now: some I also want to see some other 'minor' details, like the HSDPA chipset (I know they both normally have LTE, but if they both have 21.1 or the older 14.4 mbps), don't think ATT will have LTE widespread soon. Also form-factor, weight, size, design, this things I will only see inside att's store
Still not decided yet though

Does anyone think Google will ever produce a nexus flagship tablet? Will it have tight intergration such as the touchpad and pre 3?

They should. Now that they have motorolla's mobile division, i am sure motorola zooms would be the new Nexus tablets.
As far as I am concerned, all tablets right now sport the same hardware, hence hardware should pose no serious problems with updating the software. Some have some lightly modded while only a few have heavily modded software. Point being is that majority of the tablets out right now are simply so easy to update, they could all be classified as Nexus tablets.
"Google Nexus Tablet" sounds look great...
but no is possible

motorola needs to make a better tablet then the joke-of-technology xoom. but, no, i don;t think google will, what will probably happen is what google with a bunch of gingerbread phones, just send the ICS rom OTA to the tablets, or for download for wifi only ones (like the acer transformer)
Think after a while when tablets really take off they will make one.

Why not an abbonement phone.. most good phones are over 500..
$250?
I would recommend...maybe a Samsung Vibant? It's smooth and a nice phone.
or even the next step up from that one which would be the samsung galaxy s 4g another nice model with front facing camera so you can have a phone that will potentially get the ics update and you will be able to use the face unlock feature
Hmm...doesn't the Galaxy S2 cost a lot?
Xiaomi is also a better choice
big thx to you all!
i would also be pleased of more posts
Are we talking bought straight, no contract etc?...Since there are some really good deals on the new Motorola Razr (or Droid Razr depending on where you are). And I can't stop lovin that phone! droooool.
here are some issues of nexus s apart from it who think that it is a best android mobile ???
Main disadvantages:
No microSD slot
No 720p video recording
All-plastic body, fingerprint magnet
No DivX and XviD support (no actual video player) out of the box
No dedicated camera key and no lens cover
No FM radio
No smart dialing
Overly expensive for its feature set
@ kolen: this phone seems to be really well! but where to buy it in germany? are there any importeurs? thx for your reference
So i have 2 lines with Tmobile. One which i currently upgrade to SG2. The other one is my wife who still has Mytouch 3G 1.5V. Her upgrade wont take effect until another 5 months, which sucks. She very much liked HTC Sensation, she has no need for Amaze or SG2, since they Sensation is powerful enough to handle her every day use. I was looking at EBay and noticed a few new going for $350, way cheaper if she was to buy them from Tmobile.
My question is, would this be a good idea? What are the steps i should take if I buy the phone to have Tmobile set up 4G and everything it needs? I know i wont get any warranty by Tmobile, only by the maker. But are there any other downside to this? upside?
The upside is you wouldn't be in a contract. I believe you would only need to pop in the sim and set up the APN settings to match the ones on your SII. Just make sure you are buying a T-mo sensation not an AT&T sensation

Sorry to post it on wrong section, though i did. To Dark lord, thanks for the responce. I will make sure to do so.
Looking to get an Android soon (early April 2012 Latest).
My only reason for getting it is to run 2 apps at the same time. The Eye-Fi app, which will connect to handheld camera via direct wi-fi mode, and transfer pics in real time to the Android. Each pic - 1.2 - 5 MB.
2nd App - Camerasync or some equivalent, which will resize pics as they arrive in the camera roll, and upload to FTP/Dropbox/Flickr, etc.
Running these both on iPhone 4 triggers one of the apps to close, due to memory/processing issues.
So, my desire is to get a dual-core or quad-core Android, and use it for this.
Would you guys have any suggestions for a device used primarily for this purpose?
Notes:
Battery life not an issue, will be working with multiple charge packs throughout the day.
Would prefer 4g.
Would prefer Verizon, USA.
Would prefer a SD slot so I can swap out 32gig cards.
Want to make sure the dual core is actually functioning, that having a DC chip will enhance this process. I've read repeatedly that dual/quad cores on the phones don't do much because no apps are designed to tap into their functionality.
Any feedback appreciated. Thanks!
Get a Nexus from Verizon. Top notch specs. Should do exactly what you're looking for.
If that doesn't do it for you, list your options.
just for closure....

Right now my dev phone is a Samsung Captivate...but my carrier is Verizon! Anybody suggest any Verizon smart phones I should use just for developing but I would also be able to use in the future? Running my stock Droid X2 as a daily user and can't risk to mess that thing up. Comment with suggestions guys! Thanks!

Maybe a Droid 4? Seems like there's good connectivity for development in that all the Motos use the same base and that's what you're already used to.
Otherwise I'd wait and see if VZ gets a worthwhile HTC or Samsung in the near future.

What are those Droid 4s going for on the net? Because I'm definitely not getting it through verizon...lol.

You should either wait for S3 or the new ZTE/Huawei, cheap phones with quad-core

HTC Rezound is the way to go. Its hardware is far superior to any other devices on Verizon's current lineup, it's got an unlocked bootloader, and we've had quite a few breakthroughs in getting AOSP, CM9, and Sense 4 ported over.
samsung galaxy wonder
