I know there is a bunch of these threads, but they all aim at different manufacturers.
This is aimed at everyone just to show the manufacturers that there is alot of people waiting to buy a new qwerty phone.

I like what I see from the petition: but I disagree about the metal structure/housing. Most of the time, people put cases on anyways and often times, they're a lot better for longevity. You can replace the case on the cheap should it break, but not the housing itself.
Putting that aside, I would also like to see a good Wolfson DAC as well as a proper GPS.

I was thinking about something like the HTC One S ceramic aluminium surface.
And it´s hard to but a decent case on a flipout phone
Spread the word, where getting close to the goal

Yes, and there is the Motorola Droid4 which is faster, but none of them is available in europe, or really highend phones.
But the Samsung Captive should work on our networks right?

If your carrier is GSM then yes. Being that it is an AT&T device it has the 850MHz and 1900MHz bands for 3G/4G
Also, there is the LG myTouch Q from T-mobile. It's the latest myTouch device. Then there is the second generation HTC myTouch 4G Slide. They have the 900MHz and 2100MHz bands for 3G/4G
Make sure the bands are compatible with your network. If not you will only get EDGE.

Anyone heard any info if there will be an 850/1900mhz 3G version of the desire s? I have not seen anything to hint this, cause i really am thinking of picking this phone up as my next device. also I believe that HTC does not sell their phones thru retailers like other manufacturers. meaning i cant go to amazon and buy an unlocked HTC phone. is this correct? if so that kinda makes it difficult.
There definitely will be one. Telstra in Australia has announced they will be selling it once released. Just search "desire s Telstra"
Sent from my Legend using XDA App
that's awesome news. let's just hope it comes with both 850 AND 1900mhz, since telstra i think only needs 850mhz for 3g (2100 too i think). the hard part now, where do i buy it unlocked? i dont think HTC sells phones unlocked, only deal thru carriers. at least i think.
strangely the incredible s listed on HTC website lists tmobile USA bands AWS called out specifically. this is why i thought no ATT version was coming. i mean if they call out AWS specifically then they would do the same for the telstra version with 850/1900...thanks for the info!
Hopefully one of the Canadian carriers picks up this phone too! I'm itching to replace my HTC Legend.
I like the matte black, aluminum unibody design, and screen size.
For sure I hope so. I've been testing the huge screen inspire, and the slcd is insanely power efficient. It won't break 230mA on max brightness, even lower on auto around 150mA. Meanwhile my nexus one destroys power at 650mA showing a white page.
Add in the more efficient CPU at 45nm and the desire s is gonna get superb battery life with its rather large battery and perfect screen size. I can't wait.
Well, I bought my Desire S unlocked without branding, so....

I personally think the HTC Inspire 4G is the best Android device out there on the ATT network, but was curious what the consensus is (if there is one). My son is interested in getting an Android soon and wants to know what the current top model is on ATT. Slightly related, are there any new models coming down the pike for ATT that might be worth waiting for?
Imspire is your best bet. My buddy tried the atrix and ended up with the inspire. Like i told him in the first place.

The problem with the Inspire is that it is year behind. I bought one and ended up giving it to my son. It's not 4G. It's very slow browsing even slower than my Samsung Galaxy S. Also, it has no 2100 MHz band for Europe (if you travel there) and no front facing camera.
I'd wait for something better. I'm waiting for the Infuse which is due out any time.

Anybody have any luck porting a Infuse over to Cincinnati Bell?
I seem to only get the Edge network and can't receive MMS (even after trying 247,987 different settings....)
What a fantastic device and I sure would hate to lose it.....

What bands does Cincinatti Bell use for 3G? If they use the same bands as T-Mobile, this would explain the Infuse being stuck at EDGE. There is no way around this.
They use the same as T-Mobile so it will be edge only.
Yeah it is the same as tmobile. 1700/aws is the typical band for their 3g I'm pretty sure.

Gentlemen, thanks for the info.
I was fairly certain that was going to be a hard limitation. I just wanted to run it by my XDA friends before I had a visit to eBay.
I was given this by AT&T as a “gift” if I would stay with them and admittedly it was enticing since I actually found the Infuse as close to perfect for my needs.
Oh well “eBay meet my Infuse…..”
Ps – anyone want to make a recommendation on a close replacement out of these choices (or what to avoid);
HTC Panache
Huawei Ascend
Samsung Vibrant
Samsung Nexus s 3g
Dell Streak 5
Motorola Milestone XT720
Tmobile actually has a goods selection of nice android phones like the gtx2 galaxy s 4 and some others which should work nicley on cincy bell. But if tmobile merges with att idk if they will tell bell to find a new frequency or if since they are local att won't care thinking it won't clog up the data bandwidth too much. Then you'd do all this for nothing you know what I mean lol
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997R using XDA App
If you liked the infuse, the vibrant is going to be very similar, possibly the nexus s as well. Personally, I would grab a tmobile HTC sensation from the marketplace on here or eBay for 350-400 or so and use that.

I would avoid Huawei at all costs. Their policy on updates is, "Want an update? Buy this slightly modified variant of the same device you already own." and "Accessories? What accessories? That dock connector is just there to look pretty and sell tablets to idiots like you that don't know us yet."
Yes, I'm a VERY bitter S7 owner.
I'm considering buying this phone outright to replace my vibrant and was wondering wich one I should get...pros/cons.
Never tried the international vers with the exynos processor but the tmobile version is definitely a beast and the data speeds are ridiculous. I would suggest getting the tmo version. Also you would probably be able to get the tmo version cheaper.

if you are going to use it in Tmobile, you will need the Hercules version
the international version will not get you 3G in Tmo

T-Mobile told me that the 3-4g data was compatible and that everything would work fine so long as it is unlocked.

Nope, T-Mobile and the Telus version are the only ones that support T-Mobile's 42mbps. The only good I have heard about the International version is that it has a better processor than ours and that the software is free of lag. Our phone has a slight lag, but nothing major. Its hard to explain because our phone feels so fast, but every once in a while you'll get an occasional stutter. That minor issue seems like its just software based so it should be/can be fixed.

What about our 3g bands?
The exynos processor is a beast. My lady has the att gs2 and its pretty snappy but there's not much noticeable difference. I'm super happy with my gs2 and the snapdragon s3 is no slouch.

3G and 4G will not work. I just sold my white i9100 because I use T-Mobile. If you've never had the i9100 you'll be fine but if you ever hold them side by side, you'll be sorry you did. The exynos runs circles around ours in real world use. But really, if you're T-Mobile and have never had the i9100 you'll love it.

I kinda figured that,and is one of the reasons I made this post.....I am curious as to how many different customer service agents I could ask that, and how many different answers I'd get
I strongly suggest the international version. Sure the T-Mo version has a bigger screen and higher data speeds, but the screen also has a lot of issues (manufacturer's fault, there are dark blobs and lines all over the place in gray and black areas), and the data speeds are not going to make much of a difference, trust me, especially if you're in an area with really good service. Plus the Exynos blows Snapdragon out of the water with overall performance, as well as benchmark scores. Plus if anything, it will be much easier to sell.

Only touchwiz rom is free of lag since its hardware acceleration gingerbread roms are not hardware accelerated. It's hard to make a single core lag with a proper kernel and software enhancements on gingerbread. Once we get ics it lag will be virtually invisible on all devices.

It looks like T-Mobile are adding support for more frequencies. Does this mean we can maybe use the international model to pick up 3G now?

It comes down to hardware , the Exynos cannot get TMO 4g speeds it is not capable, but it is a "faster" CPU, so if you want 4g speeds now or in the future the Exynos in the international is not going to work regardless of the frequency.
This is the reason that the TMO version has the Snapdragon.
Get Galaxy Nexus from Verizon instead. I love my TMO SG2 but ICS is so siccckkk on the Nexus and Verizon LTE is no slouch.

I would (very heavily) lean towards getting the Pentaband GSM version Galaxy Nexus. It's a world phone AND it can be used on T-Mo's network. Why limit yourself to Verizon??

Good point but you can get the GN on contract with Verizon for $299 but you cant with TMO or AT&T right now. You have to pay full price.

The T-Mobile GSII if you'll be using T-Mobile. I like the shape of the I9100, too, but no 3G/"4G" is the ultimate dealbreaker especially on a $600+ phone. There is also the GSM Galaxy Nexus which has T-Mobile 3G AND the slightly higher resale value. I wish more OEMs would build phones supporting AWS bands. HTC does this with most of their newer phones. Samsung does so but only at the behest of Google, it seems. Motorola and Sony-Ericsson should follow suit. Didn't mean to go off topic but that's just my $.02...
So I just switched from Sprint to T-Mobile and am very happy. I like the fact that I have a sim card and can switch it from hone to phone. I have the Samsung Exhibit II 4G and like the phone. My question is there any "rugged" phones out there that would work for T-Mobile? I also am interested in a "Rugged" flip phone that will do Phone/SMS so that if I am going to some place that might be real hard on a phone, I can put my sim in it and sill have phone and texting. I know Sanyo makes a nice small flip phone that is rugged, but I don't think it uses a sim card.
So what "Specs" am I looking for when seeing if the phone will work on T-Mobile?

I'd recommend the Motorola defy. I had one when I was with T-Mobile. I planned on going back to tmo and getting one for the same reason you want to. Overall its a great little phone.
