Before anyone says anything, I'm not here to talk trash about the Captivate. The Captivate was / is my first phone that led me into the android gateway.
I love the Captivate, but I was just wondering if there's any info on AT&T getting an android phone from HTC or Motorolla is the near future? (excluding the HTC aria and Motorola backflip).
I'm still a Captivate owner, but I would like to know my options if I do ever decide to return it to AT&T for a full refund. I'm currently on my 3rd Captivate because the first one had random shut downs, 2nd one had a dark yellow tint, and this one is perfect besides the fact that the 3 button download/recovery does not work.
If anyone has any insight on upcoming phones, please chime in. No flame wars please, thanks.
you may or may not have heard about the HTC press release a few days ago, theres 2 new versions of the desire, one has a keyboard with a 3.7in screen the other is basically a gsm version of Sprints evo, it remains to be saw which carriers will offer what

You mean the HTC Desire HD and HTC Desire Z?
I thought the HTC Desire HD was another version of the HTC Evo, but made for the rest of the world. I believe the frequency band would work for AT&T for voice, but as for data, it would be edge only, not 3G. That is what I read, I may be wrong though.
I personally think the HTC Inspire 4G is the best Android device out there on the ATT network, but was curious what the consensus is (if there is one). My son is interested in getting an Android soon and wants to know what the current top model is on ATT. Slightly related, are there any new models coming down the pike for ATT that might be worth waiting for?
Imspire is your best bet. My buddy tried the atrix and ended up with the inspire. Like i told him in the first place.

The problem with the Inspire is that it is year behind. I bought one and ended up giving it to my son. It's not 4G. It's very slow browsing even slower than my Samsung Galaxy S. Also, it has no 2100 MHz band for Europe (if you travel there) and no front facing camera.
I'd wait for something better. I'm waiting for the Infuse which is due out any time.

Thinking of buying a new/2nd hand phone and was lookin at the evo 4g, it sez its locked to sprint network-I assume this is a u.s.a network as iv not heard of it in the UK? If it is,is it possible to unlock it to use in the UK on T-mobile...if not,is that the case with all evo 4g mobiles?.....If anyone has any better ideas for me I.e different phone or you have one of similar spec for sale please let me know, is the evo a lot better than the galaxy s i9000 not the s2. And if you've used 4g,isit really 10 times faster than average 3g..thnx in advance.

The evo 4g cannot, it does not use a sim card. If you want to import a phone I'd first suggest looking through t-mo US phones then last resort would be ATT but you wouldn't get 4g with an art phone or even 3g, just edge.
Hey guys, I'm looking for a T-Mobile phone that is used and costs around $150. I'm looking at these phones:
HTC MyTouch 4G (non-slide)
HTC G2
Motorola Defy
Samsung Vibrant
Samsung Galaxy S 4G
Also, taking into consideration which has ICS and a more active dev community.
Thanks!
EDIT: I'm going for a no-contract $30 prepaid plan, forgot to add that

Go with the vibrant! Great phone. The SGS 4g (T959v) is nice but there is a larger dev community for the original. You won't be disappointed.
Edit: Don't overlook the captivate from at&t. It is easily unlocked with an app and is a great phone, large dev support as well.
What are you looking at shortbus?

:O where are you living, and, can I get some pictures of that because, that will make my day!
Would never buy Motorola, Samsung and so much about nothing at all, so much trouble with him was. So many problems with the flashing, forever's not like it, is not flashing, after the firmware is not loaded, reloaded
My choice of HTC
My wife has the Samsung Galaxy S, but its sometimes crappy with force restarts.

I am leaning towards the Galaxy S because I bought GTA 3 on one of my old phones and it was laggy on that one (it had an adreno 205)
consider the htc one x
with his quadcore processor you're good for a few years
My vote goes for HTC One X too. Tegra 3 is overrated, but too many developers start to consider that as main platform for development.
He wants phones that are affordable guys!!! lol But if I had to I would get a Samsung Galaxy S 4G and get straight talk for $45 Unlimited everything!!!.
Now for high end phones... the GS3 is deffinently the KING!

I live in Washington D.C. I will post some pics up later today for you. Believe me I really looked into it before I bought my captivate. I also have a vibrant. These are really great devices. Flashing is really easy, no need to worry about s-on/off like HTC devices. I also have an HTC my touch 3g slide aka espresso and I prefer the Samsungs hands down.

Let me start out by saying I'm not advocating piracy or any illegal activities but you can get alot of cool new games from 4shared. Hypothetically you could get the apk for these games to try and see how they work on your device before purchasing. Please purchase these games and apps to help support the development and continuation of great apps on the market.

I like the look and feel of the captivate more than the vibrant myself. Anyways, you can flash different bands? link me to the instructions please!

I don't use minutes if any at all, that's why im going with tmobile (and saving 5 bucks a month while im at it )
I'll be buying a phone within the next 2 days, can someone confirm if captivate can work with tmobile 3g? I've looked all over and everyone says it only works with edge
thankyou!
I had a T-Mobile G2 from launch and just about killed it. I had to get a phone out of necessity and got the Samsung Galaxy nexus as a temporary replacement.
I really do not like this phone lol. I miss sense and was holding out in hopes of T-Mo getting the HTC one x+ but that didn't happen.
So I pose the question of should I get the T-Mobile one s or get an unlocked one from expansys or just wait it out. I live in an area that was refarmed to 1900mhz so I could get the one x+ or even a droid DNA if I manage to get an unlocked one.
But with those last two choices I'd have to be able to live with 3g instead of HSDPA.
I think I could probably get a free upgrade since I bought this phone unlocked from Google but I can't make up my mind. I also can't stand aosp anymore though. I really want sense lol.
Thanks in advance.
