So after 4 days of persistence in calling AT&T Customer Care and Warranty, I am going to be a proud owner of an Inspire!
Had the Captivate since initial launch, plus 5 returns! They are doing a "one time only" make/model exchange through warranty.
I'm excited to say the least! I think the Captivate was a great device, just not reliable enough for me. I spent the last 6 months dealing with random shutdowns and frankly had enough!
Glad to see people are enjoying the phone!
congrats!!!!!!!
You will never miss your captivate , even the captivate devs are coming to the inspire !

You'll be joining a rather sizable club of ex-captivate users who made the jump over to this superior phone, me being one of them.
Cool that you got them to replace your captivate... I wasn't willing to suffer through three more replacement phones before even having a slight chance of getting them to swap... paid Off-contract, with no regrets.
Many of the captivate devs are over here now, which is awesome.
Enjoy!

Going to have to fight the urge. I would like to get 2 days out of the stock rom just so I know how it runs. Sadly though, I dont' think it's going to happen. I already have all the rooting tools and a bunch of roms on my pc .

I was exaggerating a bit in my prior post.
You SHOULD, IMO, spend some time with your phone as is. In fact, I didn't root mine until near the end of my 30 days.
You want to "burn in" the phone, making sure everything works (no mfgr defects), first. You want to be able to distinguish between "not working right because I got a lemon" and "not working right because of a root/flash gone haywire."
Not to mention, it's more of a hassle (but indeed possible) to revert the phone to a warranty-returnable state should you discover a mfgr/production defect after you've rooted.
That point of reference of how the out-of-the-box phone behaves, stock quirks and all, is important.
I'm just now gearing up to flash my first custom ROM ever, and I got the phone on 03/02, so being patient for the sake of being better prepared is a good strategy.

A lot of my friends and family have been iPhone owners for the last few years, and I can finally say that my phone is the envy of my inner circle now. The Inspire has it all: beauty, brains, and brawn.
My phone arrived via UPS yesterday afternoon, and I set to rooting it as soon as it was fully charged. This was my first root, and the hardest part was making the Gold Card. I would recommend using the Gold Card walkthrough on theunlockr.com Website for the Gold Card. After you have that created, use Bubby's One Click (it REALLY works!). I'm sticking with rooted Stock ROM for now because I like all of the HTC stuff, but I wanted to use Titanium Backup to remove the ATT bloatware. Mission accomplished!
So att goofed and sent me the handset only accessories arrive tomorrow, so I should have a working inspire tomorrow night!

I literally folded my Crapsung Craptivate in half then tore it into two pieces on Monday night, got a call from my local AT&T store, and my Inspire is in stock, picking it up after work.
Then I'll use the awesome 8mp camera with LED flash to take a picture of the Crapsung Aggrevate and use it in the "How to fix the sh**ty samsung phones" guide I'm going to make.
I also jumped ship. I find the Inspire a far far far superior phone to the captivate.

Inspire 4G ¦ XDA Premium
ok guys i need ur gelp, i only got a 1/2 hour to decide. i found a great deal on a tb but i dont know if i should get it.
are you guys happy with the phone?
would u get a diff 4g phone
how is the batt?
a list of pros n cons would be great
might buy it for 175 used. i got burn with the fascinate and i dont wanna do the same.
tge reason i want a 4g phone is to lock in unlimited 4g before the limited plans get in.
Best 4g lte phone imo. Just make sure to get an extended battery down the road.
Great speeds
OK screen
Great dev support
Not so great battery life on standard battery

Get the damn TB. Put some BAMF on it. Enjoy.

I can usually get from 8-16 hours from the thunderbolt on the standard battery, depending on use of course. I am sitting in wifi mostly, running das Bamf 1.8.6 right now. Over the weekend, I got 28 hours on a single charge on 3G, but I didn't use it much at all - just emails, a few websites but there was about an hour of pandora in there.
If you're interested in rooting/ROMing, I think the TB is definitely the best choice
I thought the Samsung phone was pretty good. Ofcourse I am not sure if it is worth the extra money, it probably sells for more than TB.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Not saying this cause I own one, thunderbolt hands down. The development community alone should be enough to make it the most appealing LTE device.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
I was wondering the same thing. Hardware wise the charge is superior but developer wise the thunderbolt has more support. I bought my tbolt used in like new condition for $350. The price jacked up once the tiered data plans were leaked. At $175 check to make sure the esn is clean and then go for it!

No, hahah sorry kinda stressed out abou it for some reason
I am getting it just in case they say u can't be grandfathered in for the 4g. I don't even have 4g here but 4g is the future and I only pay 10 for unlimited ( I got this crazy promotional deal last November) n I don't wanna lose it when I do get 4g around here.
I have to say I'm impressed with the Thunderbolt, and I'm not an Android guy. Well Im totally an Android guy, now. If I had gotten any other phone available currently, I would have passed it off in a week.
The thunderbolt's quality combined with developer support and the online community just form a smartphone-holy trinity.
I have an iPad 2, iPad, iPhone 4, and Thunderbolt. The short battery life the first three days was a con. Then I started customizing my settings, and about 3 hours after ordering an extended battery I realized "Oh ****, I've been pushing this dude pretty hard for 10 hours."
Needless to say, I only use it when I'm going to be out all night and she's pretty enough that I may not charge it first thing in the morning.
Rooted Thunderbolt on BAMF Sense 3.0 RC 4 with MR2 radio and latest dreamKernel.
By the way, I see you're in Queens. I work in Long Island City and get great 4g speeds. About 25 down and 5 up.

you keep unlimited as long as you keep your plan (3g/4g doesn't make a difference), they have said that as long as you are unlimited with smartphone data, you are good (according to engadget). If you change your base plan in any way, then you will lose the unlimited data.
Thunderbolt is a great phone with minor hiccups stock. Charge has better battery life and a better screen. Thunderbolt has a lot better dev support as do most htc products. Thunderbolt comes with 40gb total memory, not sure about the Charge.
Every Charge I've played with has just dragged. I attribute it to the way Samsung distributed the ram. Their battery life sucks too. I can get 2 days out of my TB. I've used a Charge that regularly loses 40% in 3 hours.

I love my thunderbolt. I bought it used for $350 went to verizon to activate told him it was used and he asked if I wanted insurance. I said sure. Had an issue that was within 14 days of purchase and they gave me a new in box. Yeah I know people will ***** I screwed verizon but people have a job and should be trained. Since I have had no problems, love the Roms put out and 4g is great.
I can't believe that nobody had mentioned that the.TB is the only verizon phone with voice and simultaneous data thanks to its dual antennas.

I like my TB, but this is my first Android phone so I can't really compare. People have gone over the pros for the phone, and I agree with them. Here are a couple of potential cons. #1 is the phone sound quality. I personally don't find it that great, and to me Verizon iPhone (my wife has one) sounds better. I thought the phone amp was such a basic part that it should never be an issue, but surprisingly it is an issue for me. #2 is the 4g battery drain bug. The good thing is that not everyone has it, and I hope MR2 radio finally fixes it (testing that right now). Other than that it has been a great phone for me, and I am definitely enjoying the dev support, thanks to the devs and people offering help on this forum!

INFUSE no longer carried by ATT - shortest duration on record. IMHO still the best phone in active use (after 4000 mah battery upgrade, 2.3 upgrade etc)
Wow I hope this isn't true

I don't see why they would just drop a phone. How about a link for proof...
Umm....
I was at the store today and it was still being sold, and their website still sells the Infuse.
As long as the Captivate is sold, the Infuse will be sold for sure.
http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-ph...vice=Samsung+Infuse+(TM)+4G*&q_sku=sku5190290
It is still for sale right now.
I don't know what makes you think they stopped carrying it. There is another thread that provides evidence that the Infuse is their best selling android phone.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium
i was like dam not even then HTC Status.
still being sold no word if its being dropped OP's topic needs changed
( i work part time at a att store and we have not seen anything on this)
When I went in yesterday my local store no longer had the Infuse. No display so I asked and he said they didn't have any and didn't believe they were getting any more.
With a ton of newer phones coming out it wouldn't surprise me if they took down the display.
They're just making room for the new phones. They will probably put a gutted shell on the wall of shame ($99 and under). It is sad that I'm already looking to upgrade to the Skyrocket less than 6 months after buying the Infuse, but it's become painfully obvious that AT&T blew their load on the Infuse's face and didn't call the next day. It's already outdated and they are in no longer rushing to get GB out. Which also means ICS will never happen. The Skyrocket will drop from $249 to $149 in a month or two. Woo hoo...afternoon delight!
It's history, removed from shelves throughout SE and other heavy markets. Excess stock went to distribution. As soon as refurbished stock is exhausted website avail will follow. If you want proof, wait a few days and call your contact at your fav att store.
Look, we've still got the best phone produced. It had to be pushed aside eventually - Samsung alone will introduce about 10 new phones before eoy

Maybe two different players. Samsung is developing roms and in the meantime att decides to stop carrying. Purely speculation. I don't think they have a captivate on our store shelves but I think it is still online as well?
What people don't get is these could be authorized retailers. They're just stores that have permission to sell phones under the Att logo. If it doesn't sell well for them, goodbye. I worked at one for months.

I would guess a lot of people (on XDA, especially) understand the difference between a corporate store and an authorized retailer, but I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt.

Third party development for the Sidekick 4G has NOT ceased. I can see that we at the very most have 5 active projects continuing. Officially, T-Mobile has stopped support and updates for the Sidekick 4G however. Our only hope, is to support those who are continuing to bust their ass for the Sidekick 4G when they could just go get a nicer phone and develop for that instead.
Source of T-Mobile's Announcement : I can't post it because I don't have enough posts to link to outside resources, just a quick Google search will show you that.
I'm looking forward to a brighter future for this device, please be more possitive. I know this device has potential.

Then device itself is quite nice. If we do get AOSP/CM, I'll be satisfied with the SK4G for a few more years. Five row keyboards are a rarity for some reason, and I need one for SSH.

That's true, the Epic 4G did eventually get CM support after a long delay.
However, it also has approximately two zillion units in deployment. The SK4G has more of a struggle ahead, with far fewer handsets in the field.
I wish more sysadmin types would realize what a great device the Sidekick 4G is for remote management. Top-notch SSH client, flexible VPN options. That user base could really benefit from the SK4G's virtues.
Another thing about the Sidekick 4G that I like to mention is that on stock, it's crap. Although, when flashed with a custom ROM and proper tweaks applied, the phone's structure and hardware becomes more than worth the price. For example, the price is sub-200$, which is great for this phone. (brand new too)

Price is 182$ w/ free shipping straight. The only issue is Hong Kong's slow shipping. (also the phone is unlocked)

But after finding XDA and the awesome people that contribute here, i learned a few things. Had fun learning them too. Now i am happy with my my SK4G completely.
Yea, Tmob stopped production after only 11 months, but like alot of people loyal to the SK line, and with some help from the cool peeps on XDA, i'll be rockin this phone for quite some time.
btw, some rumors about SK gettin another revamp? should be interesting.

It all comes down to all phones have different development rates.
If you wanna see a phone that died look at the LG Ally when it came out.
I keep noticing things here keep getting slower and slower. I'm about to get my income tax return and I plan to get a newer phone. I am planning to keep my Charge to learn a little about more esoteric smart phone usage. I hope something will be going on here in the future.

I'm looking for things to keep tweaking on the Charge. I've been trying to mess with screen brightness levels as Dwith knows, I just can't figure out how to get them to register. And I've been keeping my eye out on some neat things. I just have to find the time to try them.
I'm still around, and there are one or two things that I have on the to-do list, but they are pretty minor cleanup sort of things which is why I haven't done much currently.
And in the spirit of full disclosure, I no longer have vzw service - went to T-Mobile as it's decent in my area and I needed to cut down on monthly spending. After my gnex got stolen I managed to sell a bunch of closet-clutter tech stuff and got a note 2.

And in the spirit of full disclosure, I no longer have vzw service - went to T-Mobile as it's decent in my area and I needed to cut down on monthly spending. After my gnex got stolen I managed to sell a bunch of closet-clutter tech stuff and got a note 2.

Sorry to hear about your GNex. I hope you're happy with TMobile. People I know here in the Indy area don't have much luck with it. I'm staying with Verizon and it looks like I'll get a Galaxy S3. I'd love to have a Note 2 but I can't afford it. I'll be seeing you in here hopefully. I've been lurking in the GS3 forum and there are so many choices of roms it's kinda bewildering. I'll find something cool though.
I think I have a couple weeks to wait for my Income tax return so I'll be hanging around here for a while. Yall ain't rid of me just yet.

There haven't been many people crying for help so I have slowed down my logins/posts...I'm still lurking though, and XDA is still on my front page. Maybe one day I'll get a better phone.
One day...

Seriously considering Note 2 or S3. You've certainly earned our respect with your hard work. What are your thoughts on the Note 2 (sorry if I've missed them elsewhere)?
Still Charged Up
Holding out for an S4
Still running the under appreciated Droid Charge with the appreciated Tweaked 3.2
Man I keep looking at the Note 2 and it's driving me crazy. I may just splurge and go ahead and get it. I saw one on Craigslist for $500 but most of them are $600 or more. I'm not going to give up my unlimited data. If I had a display that size I'd be watching Netflix on it all the time.
Have an ASUS TF300T at work and bought a Nexus 10 for the wife. Both do one helluva job running Netflix... N10 is a great tab but does it ever burn through a charge...
Still Charged Up
well, I just ordered the Motorola Razr M off e-bay - should be getting it by Friday. But I'm still holding on to the Charge (will be giving it to my 7-year old son to replace is 2G iPod Touch).
so I may check back in once in awhile - but I wish you all well.
my reasoning for getting the phone from e-bay as opposed to VZW is b/c although the phone would have been cheaper ($50 compared to $250), VZW slaps on that $30 upgrade fee and forces me to move to the family share plan (which would increase my bill by $30/month). so even after 6 months, I would have paid that $250 amount anyway plus still paying $30/month extra going forward.
I chose the M b/c it appears to best satisfy my needs for a phone with great battery life and still fits in the palm of my hand (and snugly in my pocket). the phone, although has limited developers, already has a few ROMs (including Nitro's Eclipse) and root method (called safestrap).
Dwith, hope you are interested in developing on the razr family (keep in mind that you'd be reaching out to all other Razr's like the Maxx, HD, etc). I can get you a razr pretty cheap.
Personally I very much enjoy the note 2 - though the size of it does make it a hard sell for most (my wife razzes me a bit) I have not felt inconvenienced by it at all. The fact that all I am is a smali-hack wannabe plays well too, as there are a number of touchwiz-only features that keep some (moreso than other phones at least) preferring the modded stock vs. the aosp approach. Plus - touchwiz has come a LONG way since the charge aesthetically, which is definitely a good thing lol
It would be interesting to try and mess with something that isn't samsung, as that's all I've ever had really...
