Ok .. so right now I have a Motorola Atrix 2 on AT&T, and quite frankly, I am NOT impressed with this phone at all .. the fact that Motorola did not learn from its mistakes from the Motorola Atrix 4G in regards to the memory issues is just pure stupidity.
I'm torn between the 2 new phones that were just released to AT&T .. the HTC Vivid and the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket. Now, I have hammered theweb reading reviews about the 2 phones .. I have gone into the AT&T Store and played with both .. but for unknown reasons, I cannot make up my mind as to which one to get.
I obtained the Atrix 2 from BestBuy in the beginning of November, so I'm currently in the 30 days return policy .. so:
I'm posting this poll to see what other readers suggest as to what would be the best to get next .. please vote, let me know .. and if any questions or comments about the phones .. please post .. the more feedback, the better.
Thank you.
skyrocket, no question about it.
I would have to go with the Skyrocket i've used a raider and well... it feels like ever other HTC phone on the market... they really don't differentiate their products well. The Skyrocket, well it's a Galaxy S II so it has those in common but even though it uses a Qualcomm it's still quite a decent.
I've tried the Raider, The Razar and the SIILTE against each other once or twice already at a store and well the SIILTE beats both of them.
In all I would recommend the SIILTE, Samsung makes good products and are quite speedy in updating their products, HTC well you will get "Well your device can't support sense 4.0 "But it's on your budget device" "so..."
PERFECT .. please keep the responses coming
Well would you be willing to wait for option 3.
Get a Galaxy Nexus you'll be able to get one next week when they are released you can import one since they already come unlocked. Or they will be released on AT&T pretty soon

He's exchanging phones.
Not favoring Android at all right now, but out of the two definitely Skyrocket.
wow easy!
Honestly there is no question or even a contest between the both.
SKYROCKET ALL THE WAY BUD!
CHEERS
As they are saying skyrocket all the way..
I'd have to go with Samsung, gorgeous phone, and definitely a beast.
Skyrocket, Samsung makes the best phones these times

@Illicit Hero: Why aren't you favoring Android at this time ?
Definitely Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket, the specification itself is better than HTC Vivid.
Goto GSMarena and do a comparison of these 2 phone.
Out of all previous poster prolly only couple actually own the Skyrocket. I was about to buy it but I've changed my mind inside ATT's store after playing almost an hour with both. Any sgs2 user will say "Sammy's the best" and indeed it is, but the Skyrocket has a different CPU and I actually could see the difference. Didn't like the wvga on its 4.5" screen, for some reason the screen on sgs2 looks so much better. If you don't care for 4.5" go with sgs2, otherwise I would go back to the store and play a little more.

galaxy is my choice..its very reliable phone.......
AT&T Galaxy S II i777.
Why? Dev support on that from stemming from i9100 which the Skyrocket is not 'compatible' with.
between the 2 it's an easy choice LOL
just look at the development for each of those phones to help you decide
S II Skyrocket, Skyrocket, Skyrocket, Skyrocket, Skyrocket....
Skyrocket is the way to go mate
Samsung Galaxy S2 is the best phone on the market.

No confusion at all
I've put it off for as long as I could, but it's come time to put my trusty captivate to rest and get a new Android. I've been with AT&T for 2 yrs, and really don't have a preference on carrier and am willing to switch to Sprint or Verizon, just not T-Mob.
Due to Amazons crazy penny sale, and black Friday I thought now's the time and wanted to get some opinions on a few phones. As mentioned, I've been with my Galaxy S for 2 yrs and have loved every minute of it, and while one of the Galaxy SII variants is the obvious choice I've also been checking out HTC and a few of the other brands.
I loved my captivates screen... I'm rough on phones and it's held up to everything I've put it through; it also has great depth and is crystal clear even compared to my brothers Droid X2 much to his surprise lol. Dual Core is a must of course, and as far as updatability goes I'm sure I'll have it rooted and rom'd asap so I'm not that concerned with "Will it get ICS?" like some other folks will be. I've been rom'd since I got the Cliq ages ago, so no worries there
I guess I'd like to hear some opinions on whats best of the bunch with the Galaxy SII variants, and which other companies/phones are comparable to those in terms of power, etc... I'm not new to Android world by any means, but I've lived in my Samsung powered bubble for the past year or so which means I don't know squat about the new, and its overwhelming to take it all in.
Any help or advice would be appreciated, I figure once I can narrow the phones down a bit I'll start looking at carriers a little more and see who's got the best 2-line family plan.
Well for black friday (Boxing Day...or week here in canada) the Sprint SGSII is a great buy. But if you have that extra money to spend and if you dont need an SD Slot, get a Galaxy Nexus. It's Google's flagship phone after all.
in my opinion, the GSII on at&t is the best looking...thats why i have one
i'd say either the sprint to at&t version would be great, or a galaxy nexus, but in my opinion, i think the GSII with ICS in going to be a better phone than the galaxy nexus
The Nexus would definitely be on my list, but its not going to come out here for until December so it's out for now. HTC and LG are the only other two brands I'm looking at right now; I like the Razr, but had bad experiences with Motorola in the past, so I'm on the fence about that one...
LG is just as bad as moto, maybe even worse. look at the 2x. It's either sammy or HTC.
Being in Alaska, USA I have very limited choice on carriers. AT&T is the only "BIG One" up here.
I also have been using the Captivate and with various ROMs recently to keep things fresh. I to have been looking and I do love the Samsung screens but I might jump for once. Been debating with myself on another Samsung like Galaxy Nexus or the Sony Ericsson Arc S, unlocked only $380 and in various colors. SE did announce official ICS update for this phone.
Samsung, cuz it has the most awesome screens or HTC because of the overall quality. Don't think you can really go wrong with any of those 2
HTC Evo 3D 1.2 ghz dual core, HDMI out, Wimax and 3D movies, photos and video recording. Whilst its a lil gimmiky its Loads of FUN. Otherwise it sounds like one of samsungs latest offerings is the go.
What about Nokia N95, I heard it's an iPhone killer

I am going to be the LG-P930 troll that I am and say "LG-P930".
On a more serious note, I can show you anything about this phone.
Okay I'm selling my iPhone 4s and am going to get somewhere
Between $600-$800 I am really missing android and I need a new
Phone I'm on AT&T and want to obviously get a gsm phone and that's
Android and I want it to be dual-core and have a decent development
Community what I have already looked at is
•HTC Vivid
•AT&T Galaxy S2
• GSM Galaxy Nexus
I want my phone to be top of the line for awhile till I get a new android
In August or a iPhone 5.
Any Suggestions?
HTC Sensation or HTC Vivid are the best phones atm in my opinion
Get the Galaxy Nexus. The Vivid won't see ICS for quite some time.
I have checked and, the best is the Nexus and the SAMSUNG GALAXY S 2 II SKYROCKET, i will get the skyrocket.
Well I'm worried than the exynos processor
In gs2 is far superior to the Qualcomm in the
Skyrocket in terms of power management and
Speed

Well I'm going to root it anyway so it'll be getting
Ics soon I just want a phone that is fast and good on battery
Life so how does the nexus compare to the vivid or gs2
So back in August, after having it for about 2 1/2 months,my Sensation broke (volume rocker fell off/dust under screen/dead pixels) and I switched over to a Torch 9810 (I have the PEP plan from Best Buy, yay) for like..2 days before the keyboard broke on that one which allowed me to get a SGS II, but I returned it the next day when I found out my dad had already gotten me one while he was down in the US as a gift and from that I got a Bold 9900. That Bold, has now died and will not turn on or charge or anything and Best Buy is saying how the phone is worth $600 in store so that's how much I'm working with right now. (with Bell btw)
So the main question is, what phone would you guys recommend that I get next? I love keeping up with the latest technology and gadgets nowadays and a bunch of new phones have came out that I'm pretty much dying to have. I've had a great taste of HTC that left me wanting more and the SGS 2 was fun until I gave it to my dad for himself.
So considering that, I'm stuck between the following phones:
-LG Optimus Lte
-HTC Raider Lte
-SGS II (Its a maybe since Bell doesn't have the simliar models from Telus, Rogers or AT&T)
-Galaxy Nexus
Toss me ideas, questions or whatever to help me decide

Thread moved to Q&A due to it being a question. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.

Samsung Galaxy S II for sure. Fast, great screen resolution, great pictures n videos, and good battery and memory.
most phones today got Dual Core and good battery just make sure the phone got OTA update for ICS 4.0
Do you guys think the Galaxy S2 is a worthy upgrade from the nexus s because I have the choice to get one right now and wanted to know you guys opinion?
Hardly seems worth it since you'll be switching to a phone running an older version of Android. The Nexus S is still a fairly competitive phone even with year old hardware.
the situation i'm in is either get a new phone now or wait 2 more years with the nexus s. Does that change things?
Well I have the epic touch 4g and it's amazing, now with that said I just got my gf a nexus and put ics on it it also is amazing. The epic is the only upgrade I see and it's worth it but your not gonna get ics for another month or more. Now with calks rom, desparado kernal, and ics theme I love it more than anything (except a galaxy nexus).
If you can get one for not too much money I would say yes as the nexus while it's great with ics and glades kernal it's still not perfect, it's almost there but ics is still early.
Either way each option is good so I say go for the epic touch or wait and pray and hope sprint gets the galaxy nexus because that is the only phone I can see myself leaving the epic for. And once the epic gets ics the epic in some ways is really better.
My wife's gs2 (epic 4g touch) blows my nexus s 4g away. There is no comparison. After owning it, there are no regrets. I have nexus owners that admit it is a very nice phone lol.
When u look at the camera, battery life, size, CPU, gpu...the list of **** it actually does, built in screen shot, can connect Bluetooth keyboard/mouse, HDMI via mhl adapter...
I have played w ics and plenty of ics roms for my ns4g, owned plenty of phones and the gs2 on sprint is arguably one of the best phones I have ever touched, no pun intended.
My ns4g just feels slow in comparison.
Go try a dual core device at Sprint to get a better idea of the differences. I found the most obvious differences in scrolling rich web pages, doing other stuff while updating apps, using the device during TB backups, etc.
Don't forget, you also get a huge increase in ram, screen size, and even notable boost in battery life (YMMV) . ICS won't be available for a while, so keep that in mind as well.
I have two Epics and two Epic Touches.. one of the latter is new if you want to trade for your NS +, cash
isn't the epic touch wimax? Not late? I'd wait for an lte device.

Yes but sprints network rollout is worthless. I have heard about rev b since October yet no one has posted it actually being functional. Maybe by 2013 or 14.sprint spent so much on iPhones seems like they can't put new towers up, all the while Verizon is bringing 4g to way more places w the aggressive rollout.
