Nexus S is not available through AT&T.
MRQuad, what's the timeframe for you to make a decision? If you want Android on AT&T, there isn't too much at this moment, but the offerings should get better as we get into 2011.

I would recommend wait for 2 more months. Good phones are lined up for release. But this would be feasible only if u have the option to wait, and picking the phone isn't due immediately.
Anything but samsung.
Assuming you want to stay with at&t. Wait and get the Atrix.
That is if you have the option to wait.

Why not research phones you are interested in and decide from there. You don't need people on the internet to make suggestions for you. Would you ask random strangers what car you should buy?

+1
He should read the forums and see what issues to expect.
+1 on the Atrix
or if you can hold off 4-6 months i would think we will start to see some dual cores with 2.3 out of the box
Atrix.
Or, if you absolutely have to get one now, get a Nexus One.
Hey guys, thanks for the honest response.. Appreciate it very much!
actually, i have the option to replace my fone for 3yrs. As long as there is faulty on it.. Kinda insurance thingy for my fone, but i paid extra for it.. The sales guy says i can change it as long as it's the same provider.. Im from canada by the way.
Ican tell there is faulty on my fone.. Do you think i should wait for two years and replace the fone with a new one?
Thanks again!

[Q] buying this phone now ?

Is it worth buying the phone now ? i have a low budget because i am only going to use the money from selling my Atrix 4G which annoys me a lot XD
Is the phone fast ? are there any lags or bugs ?
and is there any Cm9/10 finished ?

If you can get one for cheap I definitely recommend it. To me, the CM9 builds we have are all complete besides those minor little niggles like TV out. Our ICS is freaking fast!!! But all of this would not be possible without jt1134 and bhundven. Man I love those guys lol. Anyways, yes its worth it
If you have the chance to get something better then definitely do it. This phone is better than nothing but I can't wait to get some cash and upgrade

Hi Nathan
Please review my signature links and PM me for further questions.
I put my goal to make SGS4G have all the possibilities SGS i9000 has in terms of full Hebrew UI.
I think SGS 4G is an amazing device for its price and is still very much rocking. SheYihYe BeHatzLaCha anyway.

You probably could get a nexus s for around the same price as a sgs4g and it will have dat delicious jelly bean (and probably key lime pie)

God, I don't know what will be in Key Lime Pie but it sure will look delicious.
Op: I suggest you get a phone straight from the manufacturer, like from the Nexus line from Google.

(Q) Coming from s2 skyrocket

Opening my own contract with AT&T. I've ALWAYS had a Samsung phone. And it recently started looking like every phone they released looked the same. I mean the s4/s3/note/note2 look exactly the same besides bigger/smaller dimensions.. Is this phone still worth getting?? Can it still hold its own. Is there more to it than I think when it comes to unlocking boot loader then flashing ROMs?? Should I just get the HTC one.. Or X+ even?? Please give me your opinion.. Thanks!

Thank you for the reply. My only concern with the ONE being can it be rooted and able to flash ROMs SOON?? Cause if not I'd prefer to wait till its able. Unless you think its fine out of the box?

I would also like to note this will be my very first HTC phone I've owned. So please give me advice on these phones as to how much is different from Samsung. As in rooted flashing recovery. What's this s-off/on stuff?? I've never messed with it

my expert advice would be to do some research.
I came over from a captivate and didn't have too many problems getting adjusted. There are loads of tutorials on what you'll need to do with root and bootloader so it's just a matter of reading and getting started. I'd honestly recommend getting a One though. I love my one X, but I can never recommend getting an older phone unless you can't afford / don't care about the newer models. I don't know about development for the One X+, but I'd take that over the One X just for the storage space.

Just get the one. Not because Samsung are terrible (they are not) but because it it something different. Its like going someplace to eat and getting the same thing. Try something new. Plus HTC makes phones to last (of course when you take care of them)

This... One x is still a great piece but with the available options you'd be silly to but this handset but that's my opinion also.. I've had mine a year and still love it but soon, new device will make it into my hands...

Hello I was just wondering if I could get some opinions on this phablet. I live in the US so I'm guessing ima have to order online? First id like to know if it works well as a phone and battery life. This seems much more unique than a note 2

I have two P6800s one for me and one for she who must be obeyed and both are fantastic devices. i believe it is one of the more flexible for use devices on the market. I sourced both of mine from http://www.onthegosolutions.com/. If there are any available that is another source. just looked at the website and he shows 699.00 for a new one. Over the years have bought about 8 different phones and never had a problem. Best of luck finding what you want. BTW i use 64 g cards in both so have plenty of memory and storage.

Could be some users that couldn't wait anymore after the Jelly Bean ROM...
I guess Amazon is serious enough to not let their customers selling crappy products... ^^
EDIT : Battery is very good and as a phone also even though a bit too big...
But you can use a wired headset or a BT version...
