Hey guys so I am due fir an upgrade and I am a bit confused on which phone I should get and I want some other opinons so tell me what you think below should I buy the droid x2 or the thunderbolt or perhaps neither and get something else?
I've heard good things about both phones, but I've heard some bad things about the TB as well. Battery life seems to be a fairly large issue with the TB and possibly the X2 as well, though I haven't heard much about the X2. I'm assuming you're looking for a 4G capable phone, is there anything else you're looking for specifically besides that?
Well 4g isn't a big deal to me since its not available where I live I guess my biggest want/need is speed and performance
I would say probably the X2, but you could always look at the Incredible 2 (not the best choice, I know) as well if you want a HTC phone. I don't have much praise for the TB though, it seems like the issues it has outweigh it's potential.
Yeah I would like to stay with HTC because of sense and just the overall quality you get but is Motoblur really that bad? because i mean I have played around with the x2 for a bit and its really zippy but Motoblur didnt seem that bad to me

Oh and I work at a Verizon store, the x2 is junk seriously plus it has a locked bootloader and the screen sucks.
Jam you can oc the TB to 1.8 ghz stable, you don't need a dual core unless its for the sake of having dual core...

I need a new toy to play with and the Epic on any software bothers me with its problems.
Is this MoPho noticeably quicker than the Epic? I played with store demo for a bit
but still not enough time and thorough to make this judgement for myself =]

Well, I came from the Epic. I thought it was a great phone, but I really love the photon! Blur can be a little laggy going from screen to screen. Use launcher pro and it flies. Mine is unlocked, rooted, and has Alien rom on it, and it's just stupid fast and smooth. Once source is released and we have custom kernels, it will be even better. Battery life has been great for me. Some people have had problems as with any new phone, a fix is to be released soon. I however have not had any of these problems. I also have the dock which is like having another computer. All in all it comes down to personal choice. What works for one does not work for all.
ok cool thanks for the reply. The one at the store was lagging a lil from side scrolling the screens.
ALSO being very new at the phone, In 5 mins of touching the phone I figured out how to page jump by swiping up on the launcher pulls up the seven screens like pinching in does on the epic and htc. Whereas reviews claimed there was no way to bring up the screens in any way.
only thing that bothers me is the screen. i dont think I could get used to that.
there was similar effect going to epic from evo, seeing the pixels. But the Photon is way noticeable on pretty much anything. But then again its just a temporary toy
I came from a Vibrant which is the Tmo galaxy S.
(well, ok, so I had a evo 4g and a evo 3d between....but the Vibrant made those BOTH look like a POS)
I had custom kernel (overstock) and a very nice ROM on the Vibrant (don't recall which).
It was very fast, stupid fast. This Photon keeps up with it and I have had no real problems that I can really think of.
I honestly do not see the MoPhos screen as being lesser than the super AMOled....I seriously do not see any noticable difference.
I also got tired of waiting for the SGS2.
I am getting the photon today as well, actually its already at my house in a box waiting for me to get off work and play with it.
I'm coming from an EVO - i'm overdue for an upgrade

Although I like living in CA because of the weather, it also means I have to wait a few days more every time I order a new phone from Sprint.

If you really miss Sense, check out some of the other launchers on the Market like ADW, Launcher Pro, or Go Launcher EX <- my favorite. Many of them have widgets that are very similar to HTC's Sense. If the Sense clock is the thing that does it for you, there are also tons of widgets that replicate that too.
just got a photon and i need to tether free without doc is it possible yet? im not positive im keeping it and tethering is deal breaker but i got photon free as exchange for one of my broke epics.

I believe battery life importance is by far the most important thing in a phone. Can't wait for the day when battery life on these and 4G (since their going to phase 3G out) is fantastic (more then 10 hours heavy use). Thats just wishful thinking because it'll never happen.
Question for those here, when 3G phones do get phased out and were stuck with 4G and its horrible battery life is everyone just going to go with the flow or anyone stick with the same phone they currently have.

If you want to hear yet another "negative thing" about the Thunderbold, I think it feels rather "clunky" in your hand. Sorta like a small brick.
I had a Thunderbolt and came to the x2. It's a great phone, development is awesome, ie it has cm7 and a slew of sense based roms. Battery life is easily manageable. I'd go back if i could.

stop trolling. GB is the most stable android as a whole has ever been. and the pentile display is entirely opinion, although most "real world" reviews will tell you it is not an issue in the least bit.

Go for the Bolt, especially if you're into custom roms. We only have 2 roms...which aren't really custom roms, they're just tweaked stock roms. Nothing like CM7 or MIUI.
Once the Bionic comes out, a good handful of people will get it. I doubt a lot of devs will be looking at it (locked loader, sick of waiting for it). The Bionic, the Vigor, and the rumored soon released Nexus Prime are going to push us to the back of the room. I plan on trying to sell my x2 once the Prime or Vigor comes out, actually I regret getting it since the Prime and Vigor are coming out so soon
I have been looking for one for weeks and it has been a no-go. i've looked through XDA market, and CL. i dont understand why, ive heard so many people trading back to a atrix from a sensation asap when they tried it. when i ask if they'd trade its usually "no thanks, the sensation is worth more". i honestly dont care about price tag. that doesnt put out how much the device is worth, just what manufactures tag it. especially when atrix has more ram and features. and before i get flamed for even posting this. i want to trade because i care about display and camera over webtop. i take tons of pics and watch netflix alot on the go. i actually liked this display until i watched a couple movies.. i hate the outer glow on the screen and how grainy it can look/washed out. or maybe i should go after another phone?
Reason im posting it here is because i want to hear people who have the atrix or even both opinions. thanks
edit: haha to think i was about to trade.... http://www.htcphones.net/htc-announced-sensation-xe-with-beats-audio/ look at this ****!
I have an ATRIX and I love it ..I actually thought about trading it for a sensation but after watching a review it changed my mind. Its so much faster than the sensation and never lags,..I think it was bad with MOTOBLUR but with a custom rom or the official gingerbread update its simply amazing, only phone I would trade it for is the galaxy s2

ive heard about all the laggyness and glitchyness the sensation has "had". its mostly all gone now, they released a update and one of my friends that has the sensation says all the screen issues are gone and its way less laggy. so that made my interested in it again. ive always been on HTCs boat, this is my first Moto device. i wouldnt mind getting one again though.
edit: dont get me wrong, i LOVE my atrix, best device i have had. i just like to switch things up.. i dont really care for the "big features" of this devices. they sounded cool at first. but not for me

Do you like it though?? about benchmarks or anything of that matter. just everyday use and games/movies, also i love to skype and such. its sad atrix isnt supported. thanks. ive never been big on CM cause its all "stock" it just bores me id rather have eye candy and neat looking things and a camera/gallery with great settings then just.. stock. hopefully ICS has neat things
thats why i love sense. it all great in one package. i havent had my hands on sense 3.0 yet, last android HTC devices i had was the mytouch 4g.
I can't do HTC phones anymore until they improve the battery, and make the signal strength stronger...
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
I love my ATRIX, I get around 2200-2700 on benchmarks and in everyday use it never lags, opens applications easily, also the battery is a huge plus, I easily get through a day, I could get it through 2 but i'm used to charging my phone every night. I also think the tegrazone games are fantastic, even though im not a mobile gamer. If you're thinking about trading your phone for the sensation I would wait for any HTC devices coming out in the next few months that may running sense 3.5, or even beats audio, or maybe a Samsung galaxy s2 or nexus prime.

Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
lol i know what you guys mean xD i am always home so that isnt an issue, and with radio i have more benefits with the sensation cause im on tmo. the biggest thing i will miss is the nvidia GPU, im huge on nvidia. not so big on AMD adreno... AMD always is lacking something it seems. id be giving up tegrazone for NEON support, that is hard. id probably go for neon support because i play emulators more than anything.. like ps1 games, etc. just getting someone to trade is the problem :[ id love to have a spare atrix though, this phone has been my favorite so far modding. HTC phones have never been that fun for me with modding lol, idk why. alot of people think the guys in the atrix forums are mean, lol. people are worse in the HTC forums.
motorola atrix internal hardware with HTC sensation external would be a dream phone haha.. im never getting a samsuck phone again, after what they did to the people who spent $500 on the behold 2 to f*ck them, seriously. dont mean to sound like a **** but i was one of them who bought it lol. im all for motorola, htc, and id think about getting a xperia if they made a freaking dual core phone and not just overclocked a arc up to 1.4ghz -_-

I don't see how you can go from Atrix to Sensation without feeling like you are downgrading.
Anyway, it's your choice. Ideally, use both phones for a while and keep whichever you like better. Cheers.

I'll give you the screen, but my Atrix is in a case so build quality to me doesn't matter as much.
I really think "HTC Sense" is the biggest draw that brings people in. I enjoyed my time with it too.
But whether I had HTC for Android or even Winmo, I never kept a call in any of my questionable dead zones.
If they fixed that and the battery (larger physical battery and in the software) I could see myself going back to HTC again down the road...

How's that battery working for you? How many hours did it add? Is it bulky?
To the OP, good luck with the new phone. But, it will probably have more bugs. It won't be the same

Haha Ive had the g2x and the only advantage is the HDMI. Official or unofficial cm9 will be on the vibrant. We already like 3 ics roms. G2x only has 1. Plus the sensor in the g2x Is crap. Megapixels really don't mean anything if the sensor is crap and the g2x is a perfect example. Get a vibrant and a g2x and take a picture. You'll be amazed how much better the vibrants camera is.

lol u cant be serious.
1) g2x is a better phone dude...end of discussion. do i really have to list why it is? smh
and im not even trying to brag, its commons sense....i loved the vibrant....but it aint better that no G2x! lol
2) u never had a g2x, maybe u used it in the store....but u never owned one....dont lie (why is it not in your sig? )
G2X is nowhere near a good enough increase for the money. It has build quality issues(light leakage on screen), and it's not that much faster than our Vibrants. Also, our screens are so pimp, deff not going to any other phone that's not a SAMOLED(+ preferred)
I've seen G2X's for as low as 125 on local craigslist...still not worth it.(to me)

omg you convinced me to go back to the vibrant ........pause.......NOT! (borat comedy right there lol)
im happy with my move up, and i just made this thread so say i was leaving ( not that you guys care )
i couldn't use the vibrant for another 6 months, only had it for 5 months. i weighed my options and it was a hell of a deal for it.

It fits in a stock phone perfectly, no bulk. On CM7 I went from around 10 hours to 12 hours, not much but it's a cheap upgrade. I am now on ICS and getting 20 some hours but haven't put the original battery back in myself.

My thoughts exactly. Why move to a G2X so late in the season? When I was running CM7, Overclocked to 1.5GHz, I was keeping up with all my other friends who have dual core phones (faster in some instances)... eg: Galaxy S II, Motorola Atrix, iPhone 4S, etc, etc. Now I'm running ICS at 1.2GHz, which is awesome. I'm happy to hold out another 6 months at the most, and snag a Quad-Core Galaxy S III. Then, that phone will last me another 1 1/2 - 2 years... so on and so forth. What's the point in 'upgrading' when there's nothing out there that is vastly superior, yet? (Except maybe the Galaxy Nexus)

Ok. The photon is my favorite Android phone ever out of about 14 android devices but I think I found my next phone. Plus I'm also in Houston where sprint is launching LTE by June 2012. It was fun photon but we're going to have to go separate ways. Its not you, its me..

I agree the photon is the best device ive owned but i have been waiting for them to leak something bout the nexus

Its a Samsung... <sign>
I wanna see the COMPLETE specs first before I make a decision. Not to mention, Samsung and their timely updates!
EDIT: I will see you day one Kennypow3ers!!! I just wonder about battery to power it. I still need specs though!
photon is the best phone I have ever had but there will soon come a day where we must part ways
I honestly don't think this is enough of an upgrade to the Photon.....specially if you have to pay full price for it.
It still has a pentile on it, the processor and gpu are overclocked but are still older, etc.
Personally I'd have to wait for a 720p non-pentile screen, with either Tegra 3 or the new Exynos GPU's Samsung will start putting on the Galaxy S3 line. That would represent a true step up.

Samsung = bad radio. They have something to prove before I buy one again. Aside from that, this would be great.

I thought their last patch fixed the LOS issue, i am cautiously watching them again, but i have been absolutely thrilled with the build quality of this phone so motorola will get a second shot if they keep up with updates.
When I first heard this this afternoon, I thought "Great, possibly will get this on my second line" but then I remember the un-timely updates, the radio issues.
Besides I love my Photon and it being a world phone is a added bonus.
Although I'll be honest, the Nexus LTE aspect is nice as well as the unlocked bootloader, etc but I wonder if it will be just LTE or LTE/CDMA or a world phone as well.
For now, I'll wait it out till Googlrola comes out with the next super duper Nexus X LTE/CDMA/GSM 2.0Ghz estravaganza.

SA and Houston... why not Austin. ugggg
I say stick with Photon. With ICS coming along smoothly, I honestly see no point in wasting money.

I agree with everyone here. Samsung phones are notorious for having bad radios etc. My contract is actually done in feb 2012 so my plan was either to head to Verizon or att. With this news I may stay and get a galaxy nexus but I'm still not a fan of sprint. Idk yet I can't call it until I see these so called 3G/LTE roll outs first

I owned 4 Evo 3D's before I canceled my upgrade and just bought photon full price. HTC lost me as a customer and Motorola won me over. I've owned almost every great Android device out there and the photon is by far the best hardware money can buy. Forgot to mention the last moto device I had was the flip old school razr many years ago.

as a former owner of a nexus s 4g... no... no they are not....
you can grab aosp code a any time and compile a new rom/kernel
want a new radio because the launch one sucks balls? gutta wait 2 months for samsung to write a new one
OK, I have been in an uproar since this was posted. I have searched and read ever thing AGAIN (remember, I was looking at T-Mobile a few weeks back and got depressed!), and here are my thoughts. I will likely get this pre-order, I have the loot, but a few things have to be confirmed..................
5MP Camera? Not a deal breaker as it still shoots true HD.
16Gb Memory (real 16Gb, not 9.XGb Partioned!!)
32Gb MicroSDHC Slot!
RADIO!!!! Lets face it, if calls and internet are jacked, its a total POS!!!
Support - Both Development and Samsung
Battery life - I need 12 hours Min!!!!
Root! - I will need to Root for SetCPU as 1.5GHz will suck the life of above!
Market - ICS for Mobile is not widely supported, YET!
OtterBox Defender - I really love it, so if I bounce............
UNLIMITED!!! - No need to comment here, I like Videos and Movies?
GSM/CDMA - I dont want to be limited to the US!
Just a few of my initial thoughts!
---------- Post added at 11:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:20 AM ----------
UPDATE: The Notification Light!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love the fact I can see if I have new text, e-mail, or missed calls. Not sure if its my setup or not, but I see tooooo many people around me that do not have a clue!!!!
I do like the face unlock on the Nexus!! Again, have to check it out!
