Perhaps we like the phone? Also maybe we don't want to sign a new contract with verizon and don't want to shell out big bucks for a new phone at the poor of contract price.

I have yet to find another android phone with a form factor that I like as well as the Eris. It fits well in my hand, the buttons are placed nicely and it's a great size for me & my tiny hands. With it rooted & OC'd it runs how I want. I also don't have it on a V contract, I have it on PagePlus and only download & stream when on WiFi saving me ALOT of money.
So I have a great smartphone that does all of what I need, most of what I want, and it fits me perfectly in form and function.
And that is why I still own an Eris.

Didn't this Guy already post a thread like this elsewhere.

Because they are rediculously bad ass considering you can get them on craigslist for less than $100 in some cases.
It was also a VERY popular phone so there are a lot of goodies and rom's that have been developed.
And it runs Froyo very well. So the only things a new phone can do for an Eris user is really more proc and RAM. And I don't really 'need' those things right now.

Give me the money & I'l upgrade today!

I didn't repost this thread. A moderator must hasn't done this. Maybe they want you to really think about why you like your phone. I loved the Eris. I just have moved on to bigger and better things. My logic for asking the question was not to be a smart a$$, but to suggest that other Eris owners make the switch. Sorry if it offended anyone. You will not see any more posts from ME in this forum.

HELP PLEASE! What would happen if I flashed the captivate froyo leak? Brick?...

So everyone knows about the leaked froyo rom for the vibrant, and I'm sure it's a just a matter of time now until one of the great devs ports it to the vibrant, but I was wondering if it was possible to flash the captivate rom to a vibrant without bricking? I know it would change the baseband and radio so I suppose the answer is yes, thanks for any help in advance.

I would not tempt fate--let one of our esteemed devs do their magic...seems like trying to run a Honda Accord powerplant in a Honda CRV. There is a reason there are different programs/roms/etc. for different phones.
I triple dog dare ya!!!
no i dare you, lol.

If you don't see now and then apps or mods floating around with people conveting one thing to another what makes you think its going to work right out of the box? Even if it doesn't brick your phone its not going to work 100% anyways.
I would't do it.

2.3 leaks yet?

So are there any 2.3 leaks yet for the fascinate? Besides CM7.

For the record cm7 is not a leak. A leak comes from companies... in a round about way. CM7 is built ground up.
But I agree with the post above none the less. We will likely never see an official2.3 on fascinate.

Let's not make an assumption right now. For last couple months, did we ever thought of getting Froyo? No hell we didnt. One thing I can say is carrier doesn't include "update to date" in contract and they don't have to. It is up to Verizon to move their stupid ass bloats and let Sammy take care of this, but it's gonna take Verizon to lose money.

...not for the Fascinate. Don't confuse it with the Galaxy S (i9000). That is the international version, and if you flash anything meant for that onto your Fascinate, you won't be happy.

That has nothing to do with our phones.
If samsung intended to upgrade us to gingerbread they would tell us. We knew since September that we WOULD get froyo, we just didn't know when.
And im pretty sure the op still doesn't know what a leak is.

I remember reading somewhere that the press release mentions the Galaxy S phones in the US. Shouldn't that include our phone as well the the other variants in the country?

As its been proven in the past though,a release for the i9000 can prove useful to us as well. There may be things included that could nudge along CM7 or Kaosinate.

True, but it is not a leak. Sammy and vzw haven't even suggested they will attempt a release for the fascinate. Which would lead me to suspect there is no one working on it and therefore no leak possible. Now with froyo they did.

Thinking of moving to a Motorola atrix

Hi,
anyone a current or former x10 owner who owns an atrix? Any pros and cons?
user voelker45 has one! He could give you some info i'm sure.
Cheers
Anyone else with experience of it?

yeah moto stuff is pretty locked down..
they cracked the atrix though
A Friend of mine here got one.
On Stock, it really sux, but the last update removed all the "Blur" crap.
The Kernel can be Unlocked also, and there is a few custom roms (But a good part doesn't recognise the Dock OR the fingerprint sensor).
If i was you, i would wait sometime. Nexus Prime and a few other phones are about to be launched. (And speaking frankly. The Motorola design trully sux, lol)

I agree with lord Baal here, but the atrix is great if your with ATT, you need a updated phone now, and it has a very low price at the moment if your ready for an upgrade.
The phone itself is very fast once modded. Look at my cm7 pics in my profile of the atrix in my profile. I have some stats ran by cf-bench that are amazing and pass a sgs2 if your running cm7 beta.
I believe the atrix is right next to the sgs2 in every category. Don't count this phone out. I would of waited for something better but my x10 was too slow for school things I had to do so I bought the atrix. I am glad I did.

A farewell.

Hi all.
My wife's phone recently played out for the third time within a year (D2). When they replaced it this time they sent her a completely different phone.
Well she liked my DX2 better so I got the other (sam strat) phone. I had planned on moving to another phone in the not so distant future but looks like I got moved sooner then I thought. (Still gonna get a different phone in the near future)
The DX2 community on here is incredible, and I am sure that goes without saying and everyone of you guys and gals know that! I will miss my phone and the community but it's time to move on I suppose. I wish you all the best, I am sure I will stop in from time to time to check up on things.
DK, your an awesome Dev. and I think more so then that you seem to be a super guy from what one can get to know someone else through communicating over the internet / forums. Thanks man for all your time and effort!
GL all.
Don't be a stranger and be sure to stop in from time to time. When I got my Gnex, the thought crossed my mind that I may not frequent the DX2 community as much. But I just can't let it go. Other areas here on XDA just don't offer what is abundant here. By far the best on the web, hands down.
Best of luck in your future endeavors...neighbor!

I'm rockin AT&T's Atrix 2 on the 4.0.4 ICS leak and I still come in the X2 forums to try and help when I can. Had my fun on the X2 from Eclipse to CM7 and CM9 so I know whats what with the device as well. So thats a +1 for me as well. Stop by, give people a hand once in awhile when you see a question you know the answer too. Good luck. Cheers!

Guess I will see you over on rootzwiki then? They have a forum for the Stratosphere. Rooting+flashing isn't so bad once you learn how to use odin. It's definitly a lot easier rooting the x2, but oh well. Still stuck with 2 or 3 roms too which are all tweaked versions of stock because the radio interface layer is locked by samsung. They say we're supposed to get ICS(only reps, no official updates), but won't give out any dates or anything. Oh well.
I reccommend tweaked 2.2. Pretty awesome!

[Q] Anyone need an X2? I'm willing to donate to a dev

I've just switched to an iPhone 5 today, so my old Droid X2 is available for anyone who wants it.
I want a droid x2. Or do you just want to donate it to a dev? I'm not a dev, but I do try roms and test them out.

If it is still available, nitroglycerine33 needs one. Maybe he will update Eclipse if he has one.
if it's still available?
I'm a Computer Engineer who has mainly done desktop and server development and did some mobile development on Windows CE / PocketPC back in 2000, I've had PDAs and cell phones for years but bought my first 'smartphone' around 2006 that ran Windows Mobile 5. In January 2012, I got my first Android phone which was an X2. I choose an Android device over a Windows or Apple device because it was the cheapest way to get into mobile development (free development tools, no annual fees, etc.). Since I had to stop working in 2008 due to bulging disk, I've been wanting to start developing on the mobile platform some of the ideas that have come to my mind. So, I say all that to let you know that although I am not currently an experienced developer on the mobile platform, it's been my intention to since I stopped working. And although I already have an X2, I'd rather not use my 'everyday' phone as my development phone. So, if the offer still is valid, I'd be grateful for taking advantage of your gracious offer.
Mine's still working stronger than ever, but it would be nice/faster to have a device that I could test my CM10.1 ROM on without losing all my data on my phone.
If someone like DZK, or the dev of Eclipse doesn't take it, and you're willing to, I can put it to use for my 4.2.2 ROM instead of having to wipe mine all the time.
