[Q] [SPRINT] Any new Sprint Android phones out/coming out?

Im eligible for upgrade in October/November and I was wondering if there was any good Android phones that are out. Or phones that are coming out soon that are worth getting.

Just the epic 4g that I know of for 2010.

Is the galaxy S any good?

Epic 4G is better. Seen a friend toying with it in Orange County. Smooth and somewhat "FAT" But 4G only works for people in the "4G" zones.
as for Galaxy S, if you want Root right after you got it, information are already posted in this forum.

Too bad T-Mobile's HSPA+ beats down Sprint's so called "4g"
But nah they're both fast and fairly similar. Great speeds on both.
The Galaxy S is GREATand the Epic 4G looks like an awesome phone, but I migrated to touch only. I have a Vibrant and I am highly pleased.

Galaxy S II or Infuse 4G

After three defective captivates, The next time I call at&t I'm going to request a new phone. I know neither of them are out yet and I know the GS2 is schuduled for T-Mobile but it passed the FCC with at&t frequencies so I assume its going to be like the first galaxy where there was different versions for many carriers. If everything works out and they are both released for at&t in may, which phone do you guys think I should get and why?

[q]Is infuse a galaxy s?

Is the infuse a galaxy s phone because i am currently in a debate with a friend that has the infuse and he says it is a galaxy s....so is it?

In general it is, but in the states its not. but it is.

It is when it counts. Samsung has a remote viewfinder app for one of its digital cameras that only works with "Galaxy S" devices. And it works with my Infuse 4G, so that is "Galaxy S enough" for me.

It's not branded as a GS in the USA, but it is branded as such in Canada.
Also, hardware-wise it's 90% identical to the GS series.

strictly speaking it is if you are Canadian.
not if you are American.
galaxy s is just s branding at this point. there are sgs labrled phones with less in common to the i9000 than this but there are also many differences between the galaxy s i9000 and the infuse.

Infuse isnt the galaxy series nor in the US neither in Canada. Here in Canada Galaxy Sii is launched separately and infuse is scheduled to launch at rogers on the 27th and its not marketed as galaxy series.
correction: the poster above is right, i just checked here in Canada they are marketing it as Galaxy Infuse. So Im sorry for that.

[Q] Porting Infuse to Cincinnati Bell

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

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.

[Q] Right forum for Rogers' Galaxy S II LTE (SGH-i727R)?

Hey guys, I am a Rogers customer who recently had my captivate hard brick and after a war with customer support is getting a free Galaxy S II LTE (SGH-i727R.)
Is this the place for custom roms for that phone? I looked at the specs and it seems like the Skyrocket and the Rogers version are almost the same aside from the Skyrocket having a 4.52 screen and the Rogers version having a 4.5 inch screen.
I should have my new phone in a couple days and I am very excited!

it sure is the place make sure u read up before u flash anything
