My experience leaving the great G2x for the Sensation

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15041835#post15041835
Enjoy the read. I was once on the fence to which is better and more stable.
Now its no second guessing after a weeks of use with the sensation which is better.

Honest review I guess. I personally think you should have waited or flashed CM7 before jumping ship. You'd be much happier with the more powerful G2x with a fully working rom.
CM7 FTW!

Stop. There are enough stupid threads clogging up the forum without another kid telling us about how great the buggy, slow, locked sensation is. Just get on with your life already.

I honestly think the G2x is better all around. Better screen, processor, Rootable, etc.
The G2x doesn't even have gingerbread yet. It will be just pure awesomeness then.
I do respect your decision and wish you well with your Sensation.
Here is a link to my impressions of the Sensation

I sure hope GB fixes a lot of the issues and that it comes out soon. The g2x is a really really nice device, but those damn bugs. I know the sensation has them too but not nearly as wide spread.
I really would have liked to keep the g2x. hell if they release a good g2x when back in stock. Ill pick up another.

I think the dust under the glass bothers you more than you think. The paragraph you wrote describing it is longer than everything else

Infuse 4G or GSII

Hey guys so I'm considering purchasing an Infuse 4G through Rogers but I'm wondering am I better to wait for the upcoming release of the Galaxy S II? My main issue is not the hardware of the phones but rather the dev community, right now I have a Captivate and that community is fairly active. So how is development for the Infuse?

really its that hard to have a look around and see what's going on ? ....

Daayum...lol. I would say right now the community has slowed down since the sgsII was released, but as soon as official GB comes out, a lot of roms will get updated and newer dev's will be cooking up new roms.
Sent from my B.A. Infuse 4G

If you want a phone that has a bigger screen amd looks a little better then go with tbe infuse. If you can not stand giant phones and want super powers go with the GS2. If you want a little of everything, (me) wait for the Prime or galaxy nexus whatever it will be called.

Given on-contract pricing? Assuming the Rogers variant is as similar to the I9100 as the I777 is, GS2 without a doubt.
The Infuse is a hybrid bastard child that's somewhere in between the original GS and the GS2, with a bunch of weird crap (like a Bluetooth and GPS chipset NO ONE else on the planet seems to use) thrown in. It's a developer's nightmare.
I didn't realize how bad it was until a week with the GS2. The GS2 doesn't have any of the stupid proprietary modules the Infuse had in the kernel. The GS2 uses a more standard and common Bluetooth chipset. The GS2's GPS chipset is vastly superior. Most importantly - the I777 is so similar to the I9100 that tracking Samsung's fairly rapid and regular updates and porting them over to the I9100 is pretty easy. With the Infuse, we have nothing to track - so if a carrier (like yours) releases ****ty firmware and never updates it, we spend months waiting for slightly less ****ty firmware.
God I hate the CG2900, god I hate UXKG3...

Its looking like after rebates its going to be $0.01 CAD also I would have to wait for the GS2 as its not out on Rogers yet but is coming. The Rogers variant is known as the i977 not sure what that entails to be honest.

Yeah I actually work for Rogers, our POS lists the device as a SGH-I977 which isnt surprising because there are slight variations for instance I have a Captivate which on AT&T is an I897 but my Canadian Captivate is an I896

Hi everyone!
As of today, I am no longer an owner of an Android phone. Yes, I have gone over to 'the dark side' (Apple) and gotten an iPhone. Many of you won't recognize my name, but I wanted to thank all of the Infuse devs for their hard work and generosity! I've been a part of (at least lurked) a few android dev forums on XDA, and I think the Infuse dev section is probably the nicest and most friendly one I've encountered. This isn't just for the devs, but for everyone else - THANK YOU for your friendliness, helpful attitudes, willingness to post and answer questions! This is somewhat of a model for how other forums should treat its members and I'm glad I got to be a part of it.
Thanks again everyone!

Don't blame you, I'm actually waiting for the iPhone 5 myself, except that it comes out in June 2012 and my upgrade is in January 2013 The infuse is awesome though

Hmm... I didn't know the iPhone 5 was coming out this summer... Good thing I didn't use my upgrade to get the 4S today, just a craigslist trade. Lucky for me my upgrade is actually IN JUNE!

i still dont see the use of this post, but farewell. Peace sir

Not gonna bash in anyone's options or choices ....but I came from an iPhone 4s ....don't get me wrong they're amazing phones...really good phones...amazing display camera apps etc...
But it lacks customization even jailbroken...which is I came back to Android ....but all is well that ends well so have fun with it and best regards

Have fun dealing with itunes. Poor bastard.

Have fun with it; that includes and IS limited to: one keyboard, one browser, one rom, one theme/icons set, one..er..no widgets or app drawer, one clock speed, 3G speeds, and timely updates/itunes. (can't totallly bash lol)
Regardless of how AT&T brands the 4S, its still 3G (Don't let the name confuse you as it has some of my friends)
/rant...
Android is for ppl who like to change up their phone; when I get tired of looking at a certain set up, I change it and boom, its like a new phone. iOS is just a solid OS that's easy to use, that's what a lot of ppl want.

Gutsy is how I roll. Plus the Atrix HD really competes with the high end devices since it has the same Snapdragon S4 as the Samsung Galaxy S3 and the HTC One X. Ran a Quadrant benchmark test and pulled a 4,750 without any real customizations yet. Also, this display...truly gorgeous, one to behold!

Torn between hijacking a thread and cluttering up the main page with a new one - chose the hijack. I'm so sorry, MagicXB!
I also am leaving, after such a short time here! Speaking of the Xperia ion, that's the one I am going with. AT&T finally got tired of throwing A2's my way to fix my reception problems and gave me a free warranty upgrade. I chose the ion for a lot of reasons, and I think I'll be happy with it.
I got really into following the community here and have been excited to follow the projects that are ongoing. The dev community here is excellent, and I'm convinced good things will be around for this phone for awhile. Unfortunately, with AT&T getting rid of support for this phone, I feel like you'll see people like me dropping off - they won't have any more A2's to give out!
Thank you all for your help and time.

I also am leaving, after such a short time here! Speaking of the Xperia ion, that's the one I am going with. AT&T finally got tired of throwing A2's my way to fix my reception problems and gave me a free warranty upgrade. I chose the ion for a lot of reasons, and I think I'll be happy with it.
I got really into following the community here and have been excited to follow the projects that are ongoing. The dev community here is excellent, and I'm convinced good things will be around for this phone for awhile. Unfortunately, with AT&T getting rid of support for this phone, I feel like you'll see people like me dropping off - they won't have any more A2's to give out!
Thank you all for your help and time.

Going with the Xperia Ion seems to be quite risky to me. The hardware itself looks quite beautiful but it launched with Gingerbread onboard, and in this day and age of countless phones coming out I would be worried about it even seeing ICS (much less anything after that).

To be honest, I obsessed over this decision for awhile. The One X was my main competitor, but I don't like not having expandable storage, and I've had really bad experiences with HTC phones before. The Atrix HD is pretty, but it just didn't feel right to me. And the Galaxy S3 looks like a cheap piece of plastic from my childhood and I hate the Samsung UI (not to mention the off chance that Apple manages to run Samsung into the ground).
ICS is great, but it's not everything. Sony has been really good about updating older phones to ICS and I have no doubt this one will get it soon enough. And if it doesn't, the Sony UI incorporates some of the more important elements of ICS already. I think it's a really nice phone, well made and I'm hoping I'll enjoy it. That said, I'm sure there are more than enough people here who think I'm insane, lol .
