Anyone else notice something funny?

Now that Verizon is supposed to be getting the "amazing" iPhone it seems that at&t really is stepping their game up in their lineup of android devices. Wish I would have waited a little longer haha.

I will be buying the atrix off contract at release been saving my pennies for a while and now I have something to want.

Atrix seems great, but it could take a while to root. Every carrier and manufacturer has their problems IMO.

The Atrix does seem good, but i want to see a nice HTC device on AT&T. I've heard we might be getting the Desire HD.

Thats the one I am waiting on myself. Moto has a bad habit of locking the bootloader up so not gonna go that route plus HTC has been the best IMHO for updates and hardware combos

I think you are thinking of the HTC Inspire. I am assuming that is our version of the Desire HD.

Personally... im not really impressed with the HTC Inspire 4G... Will be a while before i can afford to upgrade off contract, so for me, ill just wait and see what other candy is available in the coming months

as much as the captivate sucks. we are still like the nexus s which means we might get a fully working cm7 sense the software is so bad.

That's why no moto for me. Plus remember when evo users flashed a leaked rom and it locked the phones from getting anything else. They couldn't update. HTC said hey guys, we'll help you out. Got it patched for em. I like htc myself.

Talk about iPhone killing

I love every htc ive had, just the inspire, spec wise doesn't seem to be much better then mine now. Think I prefer hummingbird with it's gaming support over snapdragon. At least moto seems to be stepping its game up. But I am also worried about locked boot loader. Wish htc would come out with a similar device. Probably will be a while for me so I guess I have time to wait.

Agreed.
I would give it a few months to see if the Atrix has any issues and how easy it is to root/put custom roms on.
I mean look at the Captivate, aside from some phones having GPS problems and small issues it really is a great phone.
And if ya look at the Atrix, hell the CPU might just break once maximized to the full potential. You NEVER know!

I can guarantee that the Rep doesn't have access to that information. At&t gives reps very limited info on future releases. Besides they're always testing new devices and they're deffinitely keeping an eye on the competition. With that said, if a manufacturer plans on launching a device that Att wants they will do everything they can to add it to their lineup.

Why is AT&T rolling out so many 4g units? Isn't their 4g network still about two years away? If so, these units will be obsolete before you can take full advantage of their capabilities.

[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.

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.

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.

Well, if they are planning on being AT&T in a year or so, with 1.2ghz dual core (htc sensation specs and evo 3d specs) being "rare" in like 3 months....
That gives like 9 months to announce a new phone. My guess is it will come 3 months after the Sensation 4G to allow that to be king. Then, an identical Sensation 4G with a different form factor, espresso, a keyboard, and the smaller screen will be announced as the MyTouch 4G Slide.
My guess is it will come around... October or November, which will be about a year after the MT4G was released, so that could mark its "end of marketing life".
I'm still hoping/doubtful this merger will go thru..

Yeah, for some reason keyboards can't be made thin enough currently. You'd think that would come down a bit more than it has over the years.
Also, I like how people say thinness is better because it fits in their pockets better, then later they complain about dropping their phone in the toilet and having to get a new one.
I'm not sure why people want to carry their phone in their pants pockets either. I've cut down on the **** in my pockets over the years (from 2 sets of keys to 1 and also to the world's thinnest wallet) and it feels absolutely wonderful having less in there. I'd rather wear mine on my belt or in a coat pocket.

Don't you guys think we should wait to see if AT&T will in fact be buying T-Mobile before buying new phones? I don't plan on getting a new phone until this blows over. If T-Mobile remains T-Mobile here in the US, I'll get a new phone.

They are pretty much releasing each phone with penta-band capabilities, meaning that they will work on AT&T's network anyway.
Plus, AT&T thinks that they will close the deal in a year. The FCC and US Congress think otherwise (and I support them).
And even if it's a year, by the time the networks are phased out, it will be time for a new phone.

Amazing speed. That's how much I get on my Comcast home connection . But what's the use of this speed when I'm reading more and more complains about AT&T throttling data/speed ?

It depends on how much u use. I use my wifi at home. But i do use alot of data when im not home. And if you have a 5gb plan they wont throttle you until your close to the 5 gigs which is pleanty for a month

I am thinking and correct me if I am wrong.
For the most part it is a resource issue yes it be nice to have Cynogenmod fully support Galaxy S II Skyrocket/LTE but there are only so many programmers. They have to look at how many devices there are out in field.
I hope the numbers in time do justify Cynogenmod support

If you are going to get that from AT&T, good luck...

Not to mention what if you get a bad Battery? What then? Believe me I know plenty of ITurd owners that have had to send they're POS back because of a bad Battery. Give me a real KB, a removable battery, a removable SD Card, at least Duel Cores, and a 4" or better screen. I mean is that so much to ask?

Sprint isn't unhappy with wiax they are upgrading the network to LTE instead. Why would they release new phones now with old technology (aka wimax)? Sprint is having an event with HTC on April 4: http://www.androidcentral.com/sprint-and-htc-getting-together-april-4-0
Maybe they will surprise all of us and announce a slider phone to go along with the expected slabs.

that would be fantastic, I guess i could live without sense, meaning a non htc phone, but I would much prefer it, altho the droid4 is quite the sexy beast. I just think the sense4 looks damn sexy as well.

That's an old article and has already been nulled... 4G has been a failure, whether wimax or lte, in my eyes its a failure... Everytime sprint has a new plan to start or expand 4G coverage, it not only falls through, but the partner company has gone bankrupt... And since lte 4G has been ruled interruptive to gps signals, that too will phase off into nothing... Sprint should make massive improvements to their 3G network before they start with new technology... Here's a petition to htc to manufacture a new slider... http://www.virtuousrom.com/2012/03/petition-to-htc-to-release-new-device.html?m=1
