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.

ill replace my cappy with Glalaxy Note .

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.

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.

Skyrocket the best phone?

I am seriously in love with my white skyrocket! I've had the Galaxy Nexus, Droid Razr, GS2, and thunderbolt in the last 4 months and hands down the skyrocket is the best phone in the market.

But I have 16 on board and 32 on top.

Thats our crappy carriers fault!! Damn you AT&T!!!
This phones a beast, I love it.
When I look at an iphone4, I see a childs toy. The colors look so bland and the screen looks so small lol. This phone has spoiled me!

It is the best phone for the money if you want LTE. The best phone I've ever owned for a few weeks was the SGH-i777 but it didn't have LTE. The only drawback.
Skyrocket is $150. Added to the AT&T family plan, it only costs ~$32.50 a month for standard plan and 2 gigs of data.
Since no one in my family has Verizon, Verizon plans cost me $90 a month, plus an additional ~$15 of Verizon mystery tax. I would say Verizon LTE is better though, but it is unbearably expensive. And I don't even like the Galaxy Nexus anyway. No microSDHC slot, very limited video codec support. I don't really care about the camera so much. But I watch a lot of video on this thing. Galaxy Nexus is not the best device for hassle-free watch anything you can download from the web device.

It probably depends on your priorities. But, at the moment, if I had to get a phone all over again, I'd probably still choose the SR.
The only thing this thing seems to be missing is an HD screen. But, I suspect (aka, guessing) b/c of the lower res, it gets better battery life.. which is more important to me.
If data wasn't an issue, I'd slightly prefer the i777 for the size (and it seemed slightly more consistent in the month I had it).

I love my Skyrocket, but I don't think there is a "best phone." One has to choose their phone based on what they want. I for one wanted a huge beautiful screen and ridiculously fast speeds, so I am happy with my choice.

I noticed you said you had a RAZR. Any feedback on why you didn't like the phone? I'm currently trying to decide between an i727 and a RAZR, and the RAZR is $100 less than the i727 right now. Plus the RAZR seems more durable and "shouldn't" need a case to add bulk to it.

Have played with a friends RAZR extensively...its a great device, but not one I would buy. Main reasons - the device feels really wide because of the bezels and the screen suffers from a sickly green tinge when not viewed from straight on. The display is also pentile which made text appear more jagged on the SR's samoled plus. With that said, build quality is awesome and love the splash proof coating. Somehow, beer always ends up getting spilled on my phone...

Love the phone but hate the battery life. Barely any use and phone is nearly dead before my work day is over. Charging is bad, very slow. When using GPS ona car adapter, phone dies while on the charger. Again, charge rate is slower than use.

Have a Thunderbolt and Verizon is Offering me a Replacement to Another Phone

Guys...
I have a Thunderbolt and due to the length of time I have been with Verizon and issues I have had, they are giving me a new phone of my choice (not a refurb).
What phone would you all go to (those who root and use custom ROMs) if you had your choice of any phone. Keep in mind I have always liked Sense Rom's but have never had a Motorola phone or a Nexus.
Please let me know!!!!
Thanks so much and have a happy new year!!!

I'm personally not very fond of Sense & Motoblur UI. I would suggest the Galaxy Nexus, especially if they are giving you a new phone (hopefully free for you) and one of the major reasons why I would is first and foremost the HD Super AMOLED screen in general PLUS it having a 1280x720 resolution on that beautiful 4.6" screen (black pixels actually turn off instead of illuminating and looking wasted out and colors are 10X more vibrant), the 1.2GHz dual-core processor, PURE Google phone so no custom UI and you get all the updates before any other phone, Android 4.0 (Mmm), 1850mAh battery (soooo much better than the Thunderbolt) and 1080p video recording.
For me that is the only phone that I would go with, especially as far as what phones are out now on Verizon (which aren't that impressive). That HD Super AMOLED screen is just too sweet to pass up!

In my opinion I would say so because the Razr has an ugly amount of bezel around the LCD and the resolution is only 960x540 and has the Motoblur overlay and the Rezound is not too bad of a phone, I am just not too much of a fan of the Sense overlay either. I'm not sure but I think quad-core phones won't appear until around Quarter 2 or so of 2012.
Waiting is always not a bad idea, but the Galaxy Nexus is definitely worth it, again IMO. haha hopefully I was some help.

That's pretty messed up. If that's the case though, The HTC Rezound is a no brainier. It's similar spec'd and the display is gorgeous.

Find out the most expensive phone they'll give you. Take that value, presuming it's lower than the Nexus, and offer to pay the difference.

howd you get a replacement? They sent me like 5 refurbs. Then finally they sent me a bionic, refurb, and I'm not real thrilled with it. It keeps forcing updates then failing and losing all my data. Kinda tired of dealing with these issues after paying 2400+ a year. At this point I would like to see if the rezound is any better, but they want me to shell out another 250 for the "privilege" of an early upgrade.

Don't get a Charge
I had 2 thunderbolts and then did the charge when the random reboot started. Waited for the TB and glad I went back no comparison. Slow, everything, gps, data, email etc. Had a TB a month now and loving it.

I liked my bolt before it was rooted, now that it's rooted I love the sh*t out of it....but if you're in the mood for a change, I agree with the recommendation for the Nexus. I got to play with one for a good hour or so last week and really fell in love. I'm not 100% sure if it was the hardware or ICS that really appealed to me, but since you can get both at the same time, why not go for it?
I personally like the RAZR quite a bit too, but all things being equal, Nexus seems like the way to go.

I'm in the wait crowd. I want the specs of the nexus, but its got some important omissions. The GPU isn't up to snuff for a brand new top of the line phone, and its got no expansion slot for a microsd card. And, did I read the battery isn't user changeable?
I was excited by the nexus, but if the SGS3 is quad core, Super amoled HD (RGB, not pentile) and it can take a memo card, its worth the wait. I'm not so excited about the nexus since it came out.

Hey, sorry about being away, for a while, long story. But the first one that I bought came with bad light leaks. The second one came badly scractched and dented. The next one was the one I had the bulk of the time, but the headphone jack ended up dieing. I was sent a replacement for that which came with a broken ear piece. The final one came with a damaged battery cover, which I just swapped with the previous phone, so no big deal.
The biggest complaint I have had is that they tried to charge me for one of the phones I had sent back, which took at least a half dozen calls and many hours to get fixed. They had sent me text messages saying that they had recieved the phone, but then a series of text messages saying that they were going to charge me for the phone not being returned. It took taking to a manager to check the future bills and a couple forms filled out for them to refund the charge.
More later...

I'm on my 7th or 8th Thunderbolt. I've been having intermittent POP3 email problems ever since I've had the phone(s). I went to a Verizon store a couple of times recently when I had the issue and noticed that with the exact same settings, the Galaxy and the Rezound worked while the Thunderbolt did not. The Bionic and Razr also did not work.
Anyway, they won't let me have anything except for a Charge or Revolution. I think the Revolution is a lesser phone than the Thunderbolt, and I don't know if my POP3 account would work on the Charge. I would've tried it out, but either the store didn't have it or it wasn't working if they did.
Has anyone come across this same issue before? If so, what amount (and nature) of convincing did it take to get them to offer something better?

When are you guys upgrading to the note?

In the spirit of several Infuse owners coming to the Galaxy Note forums trying, but failing miserably, to convince people that the Note isn't really an upgrade, I'm asking you guys: when are you switching phones to the superior in all aspects and huge upgrade to the Infuse that the Note is?
Sent from my superior GT-N7000 using Tapatalk

That ugly Super AMOLED PenTile display still puts me in doubt. Maybe when Samsung releases a Note with a Super AMOLED Plus IPS display I'll be more interested. I'm baffled as to why they'd take such a big step back in technology for the screen on this phone. Sure it's 1280x800 and 285 PPI but even my old Captivate looks better when it comes to colors and lack of artifacts. I'm still waiting for an HD SAP screen, 1080p would be even better.

You are totally off base... mine is in hand, 1200x800 the colors are more bright and sharp than my infuse or cappy .... 1.4 gb processor, able to oc to 1.83 with the custom kernel we have. UCLA1 2.3.6 stock firmware with official ics coming in march, it will decimate the gnexus. Its 10 times the phone of a cappy or infuse... best Samsung smartphone they've released. And just wait til the collective gets done with it...

It's a great looking phone spec wise, but for me it's just too big. If it was a 4.5" device i'd be all over it but I don't want a phone any bigger than that due to personal preferences and how I carry it (see front pants pocket). I stopped by a store and tried it out, but there was no way it was comfortably going in there.
IMO anyway, after the screen passes the 5" mark, to me it's more of a small tablet than a phone.

You guys have fun with your note's . By the time I get a new phone, the galaxy s IV will be out lol. *waiting*

You're going to be waiting a long time my friend. It will be the end of the year before the US receives their GS3 variants, so probably yet another year after that until the GS4 is released over here. I suppose it will be like a year and a half until the international GS4 is released, but that's still decently optimistic.
I guess I am sort of lucky that while I'm on my parents plan I get a new phone every year because they just let me use their upgrades and take my old phones once I'm done. My mom is on my iPhone 3g and my dad is on my captivate. This summer, I will be using my dad's upgrade to get the note. Who knows, maybe the international GS3 will necessitate that I buy that instead, however I highly doubt it will win me over vs. the Note.
And mods, don't close this thread like all of the others. We want to talk to our fellow infusers about a specific phone. Just let there be one thread, when we're gone, it will die naturally.

It's a very simple practical issue: If I can't sit down comfortably with the phone in my pocket, it's annoying. If I can't comfortably hold the phone the way I want to, it's annoying. When I can't hold it up to my head without feeling like I'm wearing half a helmet, it's annoying.

Have you tried sitting down with one in your pocket? I really don't think it's as cumbersome as you would think. That is unless you wear girl jeans or nuthuggers? But with either of those the infuse is too big anyways.
And how would you hold it that you can't with your infuse? Yes it's bigger, but is there really a time when one handed use is absolutely necessary and can't wait for another free hand?
Lastly, why be so self conscious about holding it up to your head? I guarantee nobody will judge you negatively for it, and even if they do, what's the difference? They're strangers.
Not really trying to argue, I guess I just see a lot of people passing on such a great device and I don't get it.
Plus, when you are ready to upgrade, what's the harm in giving it a try for 30 days?

Who else got the Galaxy Nexus?

Just bought my Galaxy Nexus from the Google Play Store, can't say I regret it... just yet. Anyways, who else bit the bullet? The HD screen, plus ICS and pure google made it irresistible...

Nope. Can't afford a new phone and what's the point? I mean yea you get a nicer total hardware and all, but I really only use my phone for web browsing when not at my computer and texting.
I don't feel it would be worth upgrading from a one year old phone for no real upgrades.

You didn't miss out on anything. I did not like the Nexus. My SGS2 blew it away. The pentile screen on the Nexus left much to be desired. No expandable memory, and the touchscreen nav buttons take up screen space, making the useable screen space limited. Returned it.
Getting a G2x tomorrow to use as a daily driver. Will install the latest ICS for it. I look forward to checking out the devs work around here.

Of course the on screen nav keys take up space, that's why the screen size is 4.65"? There's less space wasted into bezel however, and that's appreciated. I definitely agree with the Pentile screen though, can't be that bad though.
Why are you downgrading from a SGS2 to a G2x however?

Do you really need that much developmnts going on? You cellphone to make make phone calls, texting, browse the web, games.
If android do need that many, that would mean a really big question on its quality.

That'd be the same as saying "why are there so many apps for the iPhone". Does it suck that bad that it needs apps to make it usable? No, development is always a good thing.

I still have the TMo SGS2. It dominates the Nexus. I was excited to get the Nexus, but it did not live up to expectations. Best phone out there is the SGS2 by TMo.
I got a good deal on a G2x, so I picked one up. Looks to be a nice phone. Reminds me of my Vibrant, but with upgraded specs.
Nexus = fail
SGS2 by TMo = best
G2x = tbd

I got the Tmobile GS2 and its become my main phone for a month now.
I really really really hated it. Back of my mind I still hate it. I have small hands and 4.7 screen really is too big. I hate the stock SMS app and replaced it with the CM7 SMS.
Slowly the phone has won me over, mainly because its reliable and doesn't have any crap or surprises. It just works.
I would have kept the G2X as my main but the reliability and GPS really killed it for me. Also, data kept just stopped working sometimes. Stupid little bugs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Honestly, I've slowly warmed up to my SGS2 but slowly. I hate that it doesn't have CM7 solid and stable as my G2. TouchWiz does ok. It wins for reliability. I've tried to trade it. But really there isn't any better phones out there on T-Mobile. HTC One doesn't sway me because no memory expansion.
Right now I'm slowly moving all my personal data and info from the CM7 to Stock 2.3.3 on my G2X. Going stock for a while and away from CM7 based ROMS. Its a hate/love relationship on the phone. If it were solid and stable as the G2, I wouldn't have gotten the SGS2.

I think everyone should just be patient, not bite the bullet for the Galaxy Nexus, and wait till June for T-Mobile to put out the S3!
Patience FTW.

True, we won't get it for a while.
And the Note is HUGE. I don't have the pockets for it.

Time to get some big boy pants

I love it too. I use my phone a lot for browsing the web too, and the GN makes it a lot better. Nice screen, and flash doesn't lag on the web unlike on the G2x.
But saying the S2 is better and Nexus is a fail is quite wrong. There's still no official ICS for the TMO S2... And that big screen with such low res looks ugly to me. I'm sure Whitehawkx and Roman left that phone for the Nexus for those same reasons.
But the G2x is awesome in it's own ways. I liked it as much as everyone else here with the G2x.

What ROM you running on your GN King?

True, and a better phone than the T-Mo GS2 would be Sprints or At&t's, as they have the Exynos CPU.
And none yet unfortunately, its arriving tomorrow. Any recommendations?

When the Galaxy Note/SGSIII hits Tmo, and the price is reasonable, I'll prob jump ship...
Maybe jumping ship around Aug... Or maybe if LG gave us a half decent release of ICS, I'll stay. Wub u all <3
