About freaking time... hopefully we get a release date for the SGSIII before this comes out, that way I'll know if I should jump ship or wait it out; depending on release date.

I won't switch, the S3 has graphics problems at that Res (refer to note, very UI laggy), I'm waiting for either the SGS3, or HTC One X

Market is flooded. Might as well wait for GSIII or HTC one

what exactly is the difference besides the resolution? im actually really happy with the Skryocket res (other then the small times i zoom in on text on a rage comic and it blurs). dont see a reason to switch phones cuz of it.

att is doing you a favor trying to make you get skyrocket hd!
skyrocket with 4.65" and 1280x720 is much better than skyrocket at 4.5 and 800x480.
i cant wait to get skyrocket HD!
there is always ebay to sell your current phone to get back some money!

I don't think a vast majority of people would consider .15 more inches of screen, and a higher resolution on an already excellent screen worth using an upgrade/600 bucks.
Not saying it isn't an improvement, it's just not "fap fap fap - must have" material.

The HD screen will be a PenTile display. (insert vomit smiley)
I left the Atrix because of that crap and I have no desire to go back to it.

Ehh who cares the moment that skyrocket HD gets ics, we ALL have it.

I don't get why anyone who already owns a Skyrocket would bother getting a Skyrocket HD, knowing the SIII is coming? It's like getting a Blackberry 9900 knowing it's a dead end, with BB10 devices coming.

true.. But im sure tired of getting a nice device only to have it replaced 6 months later with a shiny newer version.
not to mention having to wait a year later after said device is released just for an update, lol
but i agree the skyrocket still is an awesome phone. but alas that hd screen sure is nice,, after using my int galaxy note. though its hard to come back to such a small screen lol 4.5 inches is like looking and an ip4 now. after using a note.

Hahaha, you guys are outta control with having to get new devices all the time. I keep my phones for 2 or 3 years before I replace them. I'm very happy with the skyrocket and as long as it doesn't explode or fall into a puddle I'll be keeping it for years just like my other phones.

Dammit, whens this thing coming out?!?! I needs it!!! Any new info.? Anyone herd anything recently?

The HD version has been in texas quite awhile , here is one example http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120873445510

why did everyone get so quiet

I guess no one cares about it. I don't because I don't get new devices every few months so I don't care much about this type of stuff.

sent from Infuse but miss my captivate on cont. 5.5.... One day this can be as good...
I think with the Samsung Attain coming to AT&T pretty soon, as well as the iPhone 5 dropping in another 3-4 months (as per oft-repeated rumours) , ppl are holding out on buying this gem. I know a few captivate owners who're happy with their phones, and most ppl on iPhone 3g/3gs are waiting for the 5.
For me, the 4.5 inch screen, good battery life and sleekness of the device were an easy sell to ditch my iPhone 4 and get this. But I haven't seen many ppl with the Infuse at work, or when I'm wandering around in the city or on public transportation.
I think this may very well be the best time to get the Infuse. Mine is on its way from AMZ where it's priced the same as the local Costco ($129) which is incidently the lowest I've paid for a phone in years.
I contemplated waiting to see what Jobs have to offer this week at their conference as well as whether ATT will bring in the Infuse older bro. But at what cost and whether it would make a difference in my usage?
Now if only the stars line up in that (a) ATT won't prevent me from grandfathering in my unlimited data plan (esp since I did not upgrade in their store) and (b) the rooted or not Infuse allows me to do what I'm used to doing with my IP4 (tethering, Outlook sync, notes, CNBC streaming quotes, Stanza, A2DP e.g.) I'm good to go.

We have to think about the upgrade plans. I have both the Cappy and the Infuse just because my girlfriend changed her plan I was able to get it. Else, I think I would just wait for the Attain, but who cares, hopefully this time next year, quad core phones come out!.....
But loving every peace of the infuse than cappy. Wayyy better battery life, screen I think is about the same, camera, sleekness, and build quality I think is better than the cappy though...

The screen is certainly not the same as Captivate. The 4.5" screen is by far the best feature of the phone and the main reason I upgraded to it from the Captivate's 4".
I decided against the SGS II on this upgrade because of issues with headphone sound not being that great and a 4.3" screen ( I wanted a big screen upgrade from Captivate 4").
Apparently, Samsung decided to change the sound hardware in the SGS II and a reason why we will not see Voodoo Sound on it. Also, I see no reason for a dual core phone right now (at least for me) as there are no real apps that take advantage of it yet. In addition, Samsung will be releasing SGS III early next year.
Yeah I hear they're selling really well....but I haven't seen one around. The only one I've seen is the one my GF just got. I'm thinking about it myself.

Usually sales are for a week or two. I got my Infuse for $199 then they lowered it to $149 so I went back for the difference lol...they still have it for $149, but I'm gonna return it before my 30 days and most likely get it again the following week. Hopefully for the $99!!

I just took another glance at the ad. It says all prices and offers are good from June 19-25. So you have one week! Get on it!

Just a tribute to the Captivate...

I can't believe I'm not in a hurry to jump ship to the Galaxy S2. The Cappy has been such a good experience as a phone and it's still able to do whatever I need it to do. When the Fuze came out I couldn't help but be there the first day to pick one up. I was compelled to have the latest and greatest, and the abilities a new smartphone would allow. The same happened the release day of the Captivate.
Sure, it's had its issues (GPS and capped data speeds come to mind) but between the performance of hardware and the constant ROM updates from the dev community, I just don't feel that compulsion to move on from the Captivate. For me it's been a great phone and it's made me a big fan of Samsung's products. Oh I'll get a Galaxy S2 here in a month or two when the price comes down a bit. But I'm still happy with my Captivate and I'll keep it around as a backup.
ditto
i will likely wait until december unless the deal is too good to pass up.
Want to see what develops with the nexus prime.
Some info claims it will be a Verizon Exclusive but i am skeptical. I think that it is more likely we will see it launch exclusively on verizon with a 30-60 window before other carriers get it....so i am not giving up on the prime....the solid metal body construction alone will be worth the wait...just hope ATT gets it.

That is what has my attention as well...Galaxy Note.
I don't feel the need to upgrade from my Captivate either. Its a weird feeling, I use to be such a phone whore, now I look at new phones and feel they can't do a whole lot for me (personally, I know the phones are actually huge upgrades) that my Captivate can't do.
I HATE how ALL of the new phones being announced are so huge! 4.3" isn't TOO bad, but I do prefer my 4" screen. They're just getting bigger too, I want the Nexus Prime so badly, but there's no way I'm getting it with a 4.65" screen. My upgrade isn't until May 2012 and I'm questioning if there will even be a phone out there I like by then.

I'm with you guys. Once the GS II finally came out, I am not as excited. The last ROM I put on is great and until that note comes out, paying 200 for the GS2 isn't so alluring.
Especially with LTE on horizon and the Note, which will be awesome.
It's like an old friend, even knowing something is better out there, I'm not ready to trade in my old worn in shoes

The article says 4.6". It may not be so bad since that probably includes the buttons at the bottom, I'll just have to see it in person, but I still think it will be a very large device.
I'm a captivate owner and I really love it. I will not change it in a while..
The only two things that I don't really like in Captivate are very bad sensitive buttons (well, I replaced screen after it was broken, and than buttons were like that) and very bad battery life, especially with MIUI
But speed and functionality are just grear. And still love the screen with maximum brightness. I think I will buy Galaxy Note or Nexus Prime, will see...
I'm with you guys, but not by choice. I have a contract to fulfil.
Sent from my NookColor using xda premium
I'll also be waiting for the Note.
I just looked up the Galaxy Note. Wow...! That thing looks amazing. It might be just a bit too big but I'm really considering jumping on that.
I'm with you guys. There is no real reason to upgrade just yet. With a good custom ROM (Cog5), it does everything I ask of it, and does it quickly. The screen is just amazing, and only the SAMOLED Plus beats it, if you ask me. Since I'm not on contract, I can switch when I want, but I see nothing out there I just gotta have. The Prime may change that, but if it is CDMA, then I'm out. Big Red is too expensive for my blood.

I was in the same scenario.
sold my captivate and got a free iphone 4 from my company. I dont miss the phone bills but i can honestly say the Cappy ****s on the Iphone. ****ing hate this thing

[Q] When to upgrade..... gimme your 2 cents.

OK, I just got eligible for an upgrade, and was about to pull the trigger on a Galaxy S2 when I picked up a Galaxy 8.9 Tab to play with. Long story short, I spent my upgrade money on it (and a sexy piece of hardware it is, IMO). So now I'm thinking about when to upgrade. I got to thinking about the fact that my Inspire does everything I want it to do right now (MIUI is sweet!). I'll have another upgrade coming in a couple of months (I steal my sons upgrades on my family plan and give him my hand me downs), so I have plenty of options. I also think that an upgrade unused is a waste of potential money.
So what's around the corner? Think the next best thing is coming out? I could just get the S2, keep the Inspire, and sell the new phone. I'm actually looking at the Skyrocket now, I like the idea of a little bigger screen, but 4.5" is about as big as I would go. Are there any other large screen phones on the horizon that I should be thinking about?
Check out the galaxy note!! One big ass phone/mini tablet.... ur choice!
Keep an eye out for the HTC Elite/Congressional. Should be announced at Mobile World Congress the end of next month, to be released this Spring. That is the one I'm looking for. No specs have been leaked on it, just the internal/rumored names and potential release date so far.

Personally I'd take a look at the Sony xperia ion... 12mp camera 1.5 duel core snapdragon processor and 4.6 in screen I don't have an upgrade for like over a year it sucks but it looks sexy hehe

i woulda been so bored of my inspire by now, but with all the cool roms i can play with its distracting. 12 months to go for upgrade, hope i can last!

My thoughts exactly. With such an active community for the Inspire 4G / Desire HD, an "upgrade" is only a flash away.
Speaking of upgrades, LorD ClockaN has an ICS rom in beta here:

Very smooth. I've been using it as my daily rom for the last two betas. Only problems are a glitchy camera and problems making calls over Bluetooth.

I would wait until the MWC as the phones releases then will become the standard for the year and all updates will be geared towards the hardware released then. I am sticking with HTC who have a proven track record with smart phones and. active development. But that is just me.

This is good advice, especially with MWC only a month away. I don't know about you, but I'd be kicking myself if I upgraded now only to see a whole host of slick new phones coming out in the near future. I wonder if global smartphone sales drop before MWC due to this.

Definitely going LTE with my next upgrade. Loving my Inspire with ARHD. Getting 5-6 mbps download speeds. I expect LTE will blow that away.

Stick with Skyrocker or go with HTC One X?

ive never had an HTC phone but i love my Skyrocket, i,m also really interested in the S4 snapdragon HTC X ONE, i was wondering, what do you guys think about the phone and how is the htc dev community? Should i wait for the GS3 or buy a X1

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!!!

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!!!

That would be a dream come true, but I serisouly doubt it... do you have a source?
Skyrocket HD is pretry much AT&Ts version of the nexus... same size, etc. But HD is coming with 1.5 GHz dual core.

No microsd support??? forget it, i got a 64gb microsd on my GS2 with tons of music and i use with droid tv to download tv episodes. so no microsd = no OneX for me

Who cares about updates? Stick a version of CM 7 or 9, AOKP, etc. and forget about "official updates."

very true. i just flashed back to gb because im having flash withdrawl symptoms. haha sad but true & look @ i9100, nexus community oh boy so much to flash. no offence to any devs here as i got involved too but my question is where is kernels? where is aokp? where is aosp cm9? where is miui. its no where seen or not even heard of. yeah we hear whitehawx and these guys saying they got it running well where is it? the way i see it this phone only has a community of "north america" and "europe" no one else has this phone so are you gonna see anything else? i don't think so. here all the roms right now as we speak are based on leaks, yah one says 1 is better but for me its same thing. next time i'll wait & hear to a phone being released "world-wide" then i'll jump that ship..till then im just waiting for an offer and im selling this phone.. i know yah good things come to who wait, well its been 1 yr already and phone has been released year prior to. s3 might be international and i'll jump on that..

I read in wired that they "making up" for the lack of external with cloud support... I believe it was 5g-10g free? Utter nonsense...

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...
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA
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
