A guy on craigslist wants to trade his dell streak 5 for my ATRIX. I like both devices, but I just don't know how I would carry around the streak, but I like the massive screen. If any of y'all have had the streak, do you like the device, does it lag a lot? And do you think the ATRIX for the streak is a fair deal?

Bigger screen is cool
Less resolution is bad
Also its a Dell
And iirc lower powered cpu, less RAM.
I say don't do it.

Don't do it.

Been there already. It was a cool novelty for a while, then it became a drag after a while. ATRIX +kindle fire or galaxy tab or touchpad is better

ive had both and i must say do not downgrade to the dell, atrix is crushing it imo
You're gonna lose major battery life if you go to the Streak. That and the size IMO is not worth it...

i had it before, its not that fast as atrix man, trust me dont trade it
i'd have to agree with the general consensus. i owned both also and i gotta say the streak is really cool because it turns some heads but in all honesty the atrix is so much better. just the fact that the streak was so slow and couldn't handle even some simple games was very annoying.
Don't do it.
Don't do it.
Don't do it. The dell streak is no near as polished as the atrix. I had the Dell streak prior to switch to atrix. Battery life was poor. Many of the feature work but seem buggy. Can be unresponsive at times. Small number of people using the phone.
I've had the atrix for 8 months, pretty happy. Good features, tough, ok battery life (very good for a smart phone.)

I bought my girl a nexus one yesterday and rooted it put cm 6.1.1 on it and it's surprisingly really good and I'm thinking of trading my vibrant for a nexus one. Is this a good idea or what?
The things I like about the n1 is the smoothness of the phone such as going from app to app n the start up of apps and the fm radio is awesome. Theres more but im going to leave it at that.
Now my vibrant number one I love the devs who work on the vibrant they are amazing with what they come up with, I love the screen of course and the 16GB of internal storage and being able to play 720p movies such as blurays.

Could it be that it seems smoother because neither Froyo nor Eclair are optimized for the Hummingbird but they are for the Snapdragon? I'm reasonably certain that Gingerbread will be here for us soon enough. I don't know, but I wouldn't be willing to trade back down to the Nexus One, given that the Nexus S has also moved to the Hummingbird.
Don't do it this phone has so much more capabilities since they basically can port roms from other phones (ie. All the galaxy s models and maybe the nexus s) the nexus one will get outdated soon anyways my quadrant score could destroy any nexus one any day

I have the opportunity for vzw to replace my Fascinate with an X2 or DInc2 and I'm looking for some input. The Fascinate's been good but has a missed call problem that defeats its purpose as a phone and I've got another year til I can upgrade sop whatever I get has to last and be reliable as a phone first then a toy. Any recommendations? Knowing what you know now, would you get the X2 again?

i went from a fascinate to a droid x
now i have a droid x2
fascinate just had to many issues Nav/maps (took forever to lock) was a problem from day one
call quality was issues etc...
Motorola phones are just built better (i travel) maps / phone calls are very high of importance to me
Very Happy with Droid X2
Right now, in the Dinc 2 looks better. But if you want pure raw power, DX2 is your better choice. Once they get custom ROMs on there it'll be the fastest phone on Verizon.
My wife has the Fascinate and my x2 runs circles around it in every way. The screen on the Samsung is beautiful and it has more support at this point but the x2 is where things are going.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
I just did the Fascinate to X2 switch. The X2 is definitely a more powerful and solidly built phone, but I miss the Fascinate dev community.
Root and de-bloat is nice, but until we get custom roms and kernels the X2 will be sorely lacking.
Either one would be an upgrade.
I have an original DROID Incredible rooted running virtuous rom, and it blows the doors off of my X2. The HTC has been a great phone, but when the playing field gets leveled with an X2 rom and the X2 gets overclocked, the X2 should be unbelievably fast and dependable. I love HTC sense, and they make great phones so its a bit of a toss up. I had hoped the X2 would preform better out of the box though, and that's where the Incredible 2 should win out. Good luck.
I went from the Fascinate to the DX2 because of call issues, and I am very pleased with that switch. I know that there is not much in the way of customization and hacks at the moment but it won't be long now. The phone works great and has power to back it up.
X2 has potential to be a great phone, but it's awful out of the box. Actually, it's a terrible experience out of the box. Memory management is crap, which results is power cycles and freezes.
After rooting and running the script, it's better. Not perfect. But because it is the tegra (think xoom and atrix), it's got tons of potential, but nothing solid just yet.
Inc2 already has cm7 headed it's way.
For those of you from the fascinate, hows the batttery life compare? How about reception & call audio? For me, playtime has to take a back seat to the phone. Also does it have gorilla glass?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Yes it does have Gorilla Glass. Call audio is great, seems louder than the fascinate. Reception seems better but does not display the same number of bars that my fascinate did. There are places that I dropped signal all the time with the fascinate but that's no a problem now. Battery life is not as good as it was with the fascinate but that is to be expected given that this phone has a much better processor.
I went from the Fascinate to the X2 and I'm sorry I did.
For me (YMMV) the hard buttons on the bottom vrs the soft touchscreen
ones on the X2 are a real pain. The screen on the X2 is awful, pictures are
blotchy and they distort when I touch the screen at all. I prefer Touchwiz on
the Fascinate over Blur on the X2, really dislike the X2's white backgrounds.
So if I had it to do over, I'd wait for the missing call update and stick with
the Fascinate.
BTW I realize these are all cosmetic and the X2 works well, but the overall
enjoyment factor on the Fascinate was better (for me).
battery life on the X2 is very good
fascinate battery life on my fascinate was poor.
Battery life on fascinate was crap. X2 is not an improvement. The Fascinate was a better out of the box experience.
So, would any of you get the x2 again? The one I saw that was the vzw rep's personal phone was very snappy and smooth with screen transitions and camera shots but she said it had GB on it & that new ones were shipping with it. I didn't think to check the build/baseband #'s though.

I would still get the x2. Fascinate just didn't do it for me.

That's good to know. I've been agonizing over this for 5 days. Finally narrowed it down to the x2 or the charge, but since that's really a dressed up fascinate I had my misgivings about it's reliability. My bottom line is solid "phone/data" performance, everything else is gravy, and the x2 has the best record I've found on that front.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
for me it was even easier. in order to get a charge i would have had to drive 50+ miles..not really worth it since by the time 4g gets up here, there will be better phones out
im no newcomer to android.
should I buy a vibrant for 170?
why/ why not?
it would be bought tonight...
appreciate it.
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using XDA App
If in good shape sure...its not a bad price
I personally wouldn't for that price.... just because you to tweak this damn thing so much before it works well. GPS is junk(no matter what you do), there is no 2.3, plasticy(but durable) construction, and probably used. Development is still good but if your coming from a mytouch 4g slide you'll notice a difference in speed.
No. Buy a new phone like the galaxy nexus with a contract or nexus s w/o contract.

Hey Guys! I'm visiting from the Droid X forums wondering about a certain idea i have been thinking about for a while....
The droid X has been plagued since its conception by its locked bootloader. Even though the dev field has made aw esome strides with this device (2nd-init)(Don't worry if you dont know what that is), we still have to rely on Moto giving us updated kernels. We do have Gingerbread, but the Droid X will likely never see ICS.
I really dont feel like buying a brand new phone for a while, mostly because im friggin broke lol. One of my best buddies has a Captivate, and I love the ease of use when it comes to flash-ability and complete control of the phone, especially with the unbrickable mod! With all these pluses, and the fact that since the Fascinate is a Galaxy S phone, with the same internals as the Nexus S, I'm fairly sire that the phone will get ICS some how.
I already have a used phone I have found that a guy is selling for really cheap. Depending on its condition, would you say its a good buy?
Thanks is advance!
Tony
yes and Im selling mine for 105 shipped!

Ill keep that in mind if this one doesn't work out. Thanks!
Anyone else have thoughts?
Yes the fascinate is still worth buying if you can score one for a 100bucks. development is still going fairly strong for being over a year old.
I think the Fascinate is a great phone. I'm sure we'll be seeing ICS not too long after the source drops. Just like droidstyle said, if you can find one that cheap, I'd do it. I bought mine back in the summer for $200 and haven't regretted it yet..... This upgrade I have is burning a hole in my pocket though... Damned Galaxy Nexus! XD
Yes
The fascinate is still hands down a very powerful phone. My buddy just got the Droid Bionic and it only gets average 25 fps in quadrant scores. My fascinate gets about 50 or more. So, yes it is still an awesome phone.
verizon sent me a droid x2 to replace another fascinate I had. what a piece of **** ..I bought a new fascinate a couple months back and luv it

I love mine as well. It has one of the best screens and graphics accelerators there is. The screen isn't too big and not too small. It isn't really thick so it slips in the pocket really nice. It is also a great looking phone.
Hi what is best for webtop? And developement?
Looking to buy one (in france) but want to know whats the best ?
Atrix still has plenty of dev support. It's a little slow right now since we are waiting for ICS, but once that comes out then we will have CM9/10 goodness to look forward to.
ICS is scheduled to be released anytime between now and Oct 1st...

I can`t wait to get the ics goodyes my first android phone was a motorola defy ,it was a great phone but the fact that nothing official was realeased for it made me sell it after that i got the crappy g2 for htc and nwo i have the gorgeous atrix wich i love for its design battery and performance and after the ics update IT WILL BE THE BEST PHONE EVER
The Razr is a better phone IMO. The Atrix is great and has served me well but I feel that the Razr is better if you can find one priced similarly to the Atrix. Also, the Razr feels better built than the Atrix. Maybe its just me against plastic, but Kevlar is way cooler. Both phones have awesome dev communities though.
Sent from my undervolted, underclocked, power saving Motorola Atrix.
Razr is defiantly the better phone, it also tends to cost more. For the price of Razr you can get Atrix plus lapdoc. So, it depends on your budget.

Atrix! Just sold my recently acquired razr: No fingerprint reader, Webtop 3.1 sucks! And lapdocks too! So big and so thin to get it hold... Ics? Someday we'll see it on our Atrix so no big deal!
Nothing like an Atrix with a good custom rom and the Webtop2sd or ubuntop mod.

Razr is a little too big. But Razr max has really great battery and this is only reason for me to think about it.
