So I'm pretty darn pissed. My beautiful infuse was stolen today, along with my cherished 16gb sd card with all my music stored on it. I called up att and they deactivated it and i have insurance but there's a flippin $200 deductable just to get a possibly refurbished one while I can get a refurbed on on the online store for almost free with upgrade. What the freaking f? Now I'm back to my indestructible brick of a phone, the Tilt 2 with a new 3g sim card and figuring out what to do. My friend offered to sell me an old iphone 3gs and i'm also looking at maybe getting a refurbed gsII skyrocket for 20 bucks at the online att store but I dunno. I really liked my infuse and might get that again but maybe I should just switch over? I'm like at a bridge I'm deciding whether to cross or not. Any ideas or suggestions?
TL;DR stolen phone, deciding what to do next.
Sorry to hear that..
Edit
I would get something else besides the infuse. Get the skyrocket.

Ehh I don't know. I really like the infuse and I actually don't want to downgrade to a smaller screen. If I could, I'd get a note but they have no refurbs available. I'm prolly just gonna get another infuse

I can understand that. I've seen faster/smaller phones, but I can't give up my 4.5" screen. Even a 4.3 is noticeably smaller to my trained eye. And Notes are too expensive right now.
Go skyrocket.. Same screen but not the same specs and developers

I just checked out the skyrocket at the att store, and it was 4.3" screen.
I edited my first post. I'm meant skyrocket not sgs2. Getting a smaller screen really isn't a big deal. You get used to it.

You didn't have where's my droid or my lookout on it for GPS locating? That does suck! I paid $190 cash for mine via a craigs list ad. Maybe you should keep your eye out on there.
Go for the Skyrocket. It's got the same 4.5" screen, but has better hardware (dual core, higher RAM, etc.)
Plus, it already has Gingerbread on it and official ICS has already been leaked.
But skyrocket too has the "black" color issue. I checked it out at the AT&T store when I went to return the note.
Or you could just suck it up for a few months and wait for the sgs3

Go for the skyrocket .. same screen and its a great device .. I have the infuse and the sky .. can't tell the difference except for the 4g icon .. I think the sg3 is just overkill for today's apps and stuff and especially if ur satisfied with how the infuse works (but that's just me) .. plus u will have a stable build of GB and ICS coming .. the skyrocket will get alot more love from att / Samsung than our infuse did :-/ ... although, yes, the development may not be as rich as our infuse section .. I have never had a problem with a refurbished phone .. usually they are returned phones within the 30 days but instead of sending them back to Sammy for new boxes and packaging, att does them

I bet you have windows on your desktop. Just guessing.
Don't go back to the Infuse....AT&T won't be updating it to ICS officially. I liked my Infuse, but since I had the Best Buy buy back program I took it back and they gave me $240 for it and I bought the Note. The Note is nice, just wish the battery allowed me to have 3 or 4 hours of screen time at decent brightness lol
Get the SkyRocket or the Note. If you don't want either just wait a month or so for a newer phone.

Save the stress and buy a Galaxy Nexus. I can honestly say I've fallen in love with the stability and screen of this phone. It is the smoothest thing I've ever used. I'm using AOKP Jelly Bean on it. Take my word for it. Buy the Galaxy Nexus and get an OtterBox Commuter case for it. You will not regret it. Trust me, best phone by far. You can't go wrong with a pure Google device. Also to clear things up if you are unsure...YES, 4g does work on T-Mobile and At&t. The data does not drop, it is an amazing feeling to be honest. With this LG I dropped data all the time. The camera on the Nexus is way better as well. You wont regret getting this phone. It is well worth the new low price.

How's the storage space, I use mine for a music player as well, so I was wondering about this, I have been going back and forth with the S2 because the S2 has a SD slot.

I'm really tempted to just drop my G2X and get a GNex, especially cause it just went on sale for $300 outright on one of the carriers up here in Canada (Mobilicity). I'd love me some JB but something's telling me to wait for the next nexus. You always want the latest and greatest when you get a smartphone right?
Anyone else feeling torn like this?

Same issue here. I'm debating getting the phone from mobilicity as well. Only problem is I could probably barely get $100 out of this phone. And with the MIUI V4 port it made the phone a whole lot better. MMS+Data works now. I get the occasional drop...
It's a tough decision.

The Nexus 7 is great as a tablet, but it's not a phone and it cannot fit in my pocket. I need data when I'm out and about, and Wifi is not available when I need it most. I'll just sit tight. I wouldn't call it outdated though, at least not for me. I've been on an Optimus V on Virgin Mobile's terrible network where data seldom works anywhere. I'm hoping my new (to me) G2x lasts me till I can find a good deal on a Sensation or another good used phone.
Agree with the OP. I just sold my G2x. Picked up the new Nexus about a month ago. Great phone. I don't even bother with any roms or kernels. JB just works out of the box. All I did was unrooted it to run few programs that need it and I could not be happier.
Very disappointed with LG and the G2x. It was my first android and the experience was awful.

Isn't the Nexus camera only 5 MP compared tot he G2x's 8 MP camera. I could care less either way as I don't take many pictures or even care THAT much about that small of a difference in the quality of the picture. I do plan on getting Nexus soon because I've been over the G2x after a month of owning it.

I'd love to get the Galaxy SIII or maybe even the One X, but those phones are ONLY affordable for most people if you sign a new contract. I'm not eligible for upgrade until July of next year so I don't have any optioons but the Nexus if I want a new phone. I'm not made of money and don't have $350, but I'm aiming at getting the Nexus in October. I'm going to set aside $150 from my check in September, and then just pay the rest of it in October.

True, but that's the cheapest you're going to get a new phone out of contract that's actually a good phone. My plan is just to put aside some cash, get the Nexus, use my G2x as a backup phone, and then I want to try a Windows 8 phone once my contract is up and then I'll just hope for the best.

Except that most of us use and need phones, not tablets. I rather have a phone tha does everything than have a tablet that does everything but make calls and texts. Although I AM very tempted to get a Nexus 7. I just can't justify its purchase. If I had a better phone other than the G2x, though, I'd probably just splurge and get the Nexus 7.

I was on Virgin Mobile here in California with that same phone before switching to T-Mobile and getting the G2x and I was VERY happy with the service. Data was great except for one area of one city that I never go to anymore since I no longer live around there. I was not satisfied wtih T-Mobile's service and the G2x based on my experience with the Optimus V on Virgin. T-Mobile isn't noticibly faster on data speeds and my Optimus V had instant GPS locks every single time and we all know how bad the GPS is on the G2x. My experience on Virgin Mobile is why I plan on moving to Sprint once my contract is over with T-Mobile.

I'm sorry it was your first experience, but happy you're staying and that it didn't scare you away from Android. It's my third Android (had Optimus M followed by the Optimus V followed by the G2X). It was because of a positive expeirence with both those two other Optimus devices that I made the foolish mistake of sticking with LG. I trusted them and I was let down. Big time. If it wasn't for the dev community here, the G2x is seriously garbage as a phone. The Optimus V easily performs better with worse hardware and an arguably worse carrire.

It totally depends where you live. Here in Denver Verizon is king, but T-mobile has faster data speeds than Verizon. Sprint and AT&T aren't very good here. On VM most of the time data does not work and I can sometimes call out when in buildings like Walmart, Target, etc. The Optimus V was an excellent beginner phone to using Android and I love Android because of it. But I need a reliable data connection for work so VM has to go. I refuse to pay Verizon's insane monthly prices and I'll never use them. AT&T claims to have spent a few million on network upgrades here recently so I don't know if that's helped anything.
Hey, so after 2 years I will be moving to the S4, I was just wondering if any of u were coming with me?
i might move to the note 3 when it comes out
I've looked at it but decided it to be overly expensive. It's around $700 unlocked (probably grey market no warranty), just too much for a phone especially when my SGS4G still operating just fine. I did some calculations for "subsidized" phones with plans, but they can be even more expensive, around $800 over 2-year contract. I did the comparison with a $45 single line unlimited everything StarightTalk service, final cost over 24 months.
There are rumors that Nexus 4 LTE will be announced in few days during Google I/O, I'll wait to see what comes from that.
Yeah... my brother's getting a SGS4 (moving off of his old Nexus One or something else similarly painful) but my SGS4G is still doing well, albeit chomping through batteries on an increasing pace. May join you eventually, but for now... Eh, our devs are awesome.
I will be as soon as my contract ends this month. I will just keep my sgs4g as a back up but it will be nice to finally have a freakin LED flash lol

Yea I will too! Actually, I already did! ;D its so freaking EPIC!! And the screen...so beautiful. If u are moving phones, u won't be disappointed. I am gonna miss this forum tho...the SGS4G was my first smartphone. And the community will never be the same as this one. It has been a great 2 years with the SGS4G. Thanks to everyone who made it an awesome phone and I hope development keeps on going forward. I'll still visit every once in a while though just to see how things are doing.
My phone got washed in the washing machine by accident 2 days ago, so I went to Tmobile and got the new s4 today.

I don't know how many of you have heard this rumor but supposedly there will be a Galaxy S4 version running stock AOSP. It's supposed to be announced tomorrow at Google I/O. If they price it the same as the Nexus 4, I'm getting the S4 Google Edition instead. I'm in need of a new phone.
http://www.geek.com/android/samsung-galaxy-s4-google-edition-to-be-announced-at-google-io-1555174/
New phone means that I don't need my SGS4G to be operational, which means that I will be doing a lot of deving on it this summer. !
Yes, I saw that rumor. Will it be less expensive than the Samsung S4 version?

Hopefully we'll know later today... . I'm so stoked I'm actually programming for the sgs4g!
My guess if Google really moved from LG to Samsung with their Nexus phone it will not be exactly the same as S4. Most probably it will not have MicroSD, the battery will not be easily swappable, and I doubt they install FullHD screen to keep the price low enough to match the Nexus line. But we'll see, still may become a good choice.
Well, it is confirmed today with a starting price of $649 for the 16gb version.

For an unlocked off contract phone that's not that bad. However, those of you that have the ATT S4 should just wait for the Google model to drop. That ROM should be a pretty easy port to the ATT version.
So. My mom told me that she's gonna buy me a new phone before I go back go high school, which is 8/26. Now, I don't know if I should upgrade now or later. Obviously, I have T-Mobile. And I love this phone. But truth be told, its getting old. The reason why I ask, is well. Because there's just not so many options on T-Mobile right now.. 1 HTC, 2 Samsung, 2 Google/LG, 1 Nokia, and the new (to us) xperia z. So I turn to you guys, to see what you'd do. If now, what phone would you get? If later.. wait for which phone? iPhone 5C, iPhone 5S/6? New nexus phone? Cheers, guys.

First of all, if your mom is like mine I would upgrade now before she changes her mind lol. I gave that a lot of thought but honestly every phone is going to have its ups n downs so just pick one and enjoy it. If it were me, I would just go with an s4 and call it a day. Htcone is nice, but I think a plastic build comes with a lot of benefits.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T769
Lol. Yeah true that. The reason why I'd get the s4 over the one, is that modding it is easier.. well not easier, but I'm already comfortable with Odin. But, I have just always loved HTC and HTC sense.-.

I've never cared for sense. Or TouchWiz. Or any stock framework really. I always do my research and make sure there are a lot of options before I buy a phone. CyanogenMod support is a must. If CM supports it, basically everything does.
and SHAME ON YOU for even mentioning iPhone! lol jk, jk.
If it were me, I'd go with the Nexus 4 if your mom could spring it without breaking the bank (I know you mentioned LG/Google, so idk if that was an option or not). Otherwise, my choice would be the S4 or the Xperia. It'd be a tough call either way.
Get a phone with lte . I tried the exhilarates lte. It is awesome.

If you Google nexus 5 you will see that there are now very strong rumors pointing to a Motorola Google nexus being out q4 this year and it will not be a moto x gpe. If that happens I would wait for the next nexus - that will be my next phone. But if you must have a user replaceable battery and SD card slot then the sgs4 would be the phone to get.

Might not be a bad idea if your mom is still willing to buy it for you and that's the type of phone you like. Personally I'm still waiting for a Nexus 5 announcement. I'm ready for an upgrade (T-Mobile actually let me out of my Blaze contract 6 months early so I could switch to the new unlimited plan) and, if I were choosing amongst the phones available now, I'd probably get the Nexus 4. Unless I had someone buying the phone for me, if cost were not an issue I'd go the S4 Google Play edition.
The s4 is currently on sale at att online only for 29.99. The lady on the phone gave me an early upgrade+free overnight for it. http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/devices/samsung/galaxy-s-4-16gb-black-mist-refurb.html
If you cancel early, might be a good way to get a S4 somewhat cheap. Nothing will beat the 50% glitch that happened last month though.
Its refurb though meh :/ I know theyre perfectly fine...but just the thought of refurb...idk it sketches me out lol

I just added a line and got one for my wife, I'll sell her S3 and use that money to buy out her first line. Total money spent $30, S3 will sell for $200, buying out other line $82. Money leftover for case, screen protector and activation fee...$85ish. Money well spent. Thanks OP! Btw I think I got the last one lol, says out of stock now that I placed my order..oops!

I just ordered one as well. I was really trying to see what kind of deposit I thought I'd have to pay. They've always asked me for one. I was surprised & they approved me this time. I even got an iPhone 4 w/ 8 Gig for .99 cents.
I went and got it because of this deal. I really didn't want to upgrade yet, but my Nexus S is really starting to show its age (bless its heart). Custom ROMs can only take you so far with a device that old. I really don't want an S4 (hardware buttons including the ugly physical home button, front Samsung branding, little dev community support compared to my Nexus S), but the deal was too good to pass up. I guess I could sell this for $400-450 (maybe more?) by the time the next Nexus phone is out. Anyway, I can't wait for it to arrive so I can experience some of that 1080p Gotdamoled goodness. I may even keep it if the bootloader situation and community support gets better.

Heh, no need to get your panties in a bunch. It's called an opinion. Learn to deal with it.

I also came from a nexus s... Mine was the sprint ns4g variant. Haven't looked back. It was a total night and day difference between the phones. My ns4g has been reduced to a bare bones cm7.1 mp3 player.

An opinion is one thing, but dont bad mouth the community. There are developers busting their asses working on roms for free, show some respect. Or better yet learn to do something yourself

I see, you seem to think I was talking about the community. I wasn't. I was badmouthing Samsung. In regards to the community, I was simply stating the current situation of things. The community support for this phone, in which there's not much going on, is a result of Samsung's and the carriers' doing.
I'm not sure how what I said could be misinterpreted to mean I'm bad-mouthing any entity other than Samsung. Calm down, read, and stop looking for something negative.

Well the s3 gsm versions are still selling for $300 and up used. It should still hold its value at least until the s5 or whatever comes out.

Just sold my skyrocket for $220 on eBay. I'd say that held value pretty well. Listing my wife's S3 today, that should sell for $250+, and I really only need it to sell for $200 in order for her S4 to be completely free including activation.

$220 for your Skyrocket? That's good to know. ATT was willing to give $55 credit those cheap mofos.
My S4 is coming Monday but I'm not sure I can part w/ my Skyrocket

Yup, but it did sell with 2 cases plus 2 extra batteries. But still, I didn't expect that much. It was hard for me to part with my skyrocket as well, but wifey said sell it or no S4 lol. Out of respect I agreed. I don't regret it, I love my S4. I also got offered $55, and I told them I could sell it as a paperweight for that price.
