Did anyone try out the vivid? I'm thinking of switching over. Despite the low benchmarks it seems like a good peice of hardware and designed very well too. I came from the inspire and always loved sense ui.

The caveat being that it's only for additional lines or new accounts. Doesn't apply to upgrades.
Decided to keep the gs2. The vivid probably won't see updates as I'd like it to compared to the best selling gs2.

I owned gs2 for a month, switched to vivid for a couple of weeks. I got both vivid and gs2 right more. Im going to return vivid by the end of this month. Its a great phone but I think I love development more. I did not know I'll miss everything... root/custom ROMs etc so much.
Feels good to have gs2 though.

From what I've researched, the Vivid's cpu/gpu isn't near as fast as the GSII's Exynos and Mali 400MP. Our GSII is still far ahead of the game and it's hard for me to justify giving all of that up. I was liking the qHD display and other nice little features like LED notification, LTE, etc of the Vivid but I think my main problem is that I get bored way too fast...

Whatever you Do AVOID LG. They are the worst at updating Anything. The LG Thrill is STILL Stuck on Froyo.
Call me a fanboy but I have to say that the only way I am getting rid of this phone is
1) the new device is TRULY SUPERIOR to the SGS2 in EVERY ASPECT.
2) the new device is TRULY SUPERIOR to the SGS2 in EVERY ASPECT.
I will say alot of these new devices look sharp...but I do not see this phone being second to ANY DEVICE out right now period. Unless you need the screen real estate.....there is NO reason to get rid of this phone.

Well considering the Asus Transformer Tablet is on the Horizon with a Quad-Core CPU I would say not much longer till we see it in the cellphone market.
Now since both the Evo LTE and SGS3 is out spec wise, who's going where?

Damn...so that means we will have to deal with you in the Evo3D forums for atleast another month?
Galaxy S3. I am looking for something new.
I never thought i'd say this...but my next phone might be a Samsung. lol
I really wish HTC wasn't soooo blind and/or blatantly anti-consumer. It seems like Samsung got everything right with the gs3 while the new line of HTC phones still have quite a few things that I really don't like about them.
I haven't finalized my decision by any means, but as of now, i'm definitely leaning towards the GS3.
Everything was looking so good right up until the screen...F That crap...not even going to give pentile display a 2nd thought after seeing the Galaxy Nexus up close.

new evo ... locked in battery
gs3 for me
The answer would be easy if HTC would listen to the community. But since Samsung makes their devices developer friendly its a hard not to go with them. Even with the screen quality being less than the Evo LTE. The Evo is guaranteed to be locked and I can't stand being restricted. HTC also doesn't give out source code so our devs can't build functioning roms. Thats why I'm leaning Samsung
Coming from the rezound in June. I was happy with the way the one x looked and thought that's what I'd be getting, then the evo let design came out. It kind of bummed me but it's growing on me. The sg3 just doesn't have a good enough design for me. I like the lte's look better. Still wish it looked like the one x though :/. Oh well I still can't wait.

Generally, LG has been great hardware that has traditionally had lousy dev support. That will very likely be different with a Nexus device.

My only question is if they'll have a CDMA version on Verizon. I switched to Verizon from ATT because of poor signal and lack of 3G in my area. T-Mobile is even worse. Verizon is by far the best carrier in my area. If they are only releasing a GSM version, I guess I'll be skipping this one.

No difference in specs? way better screen, twice the RAM, better camera, newer gen processor. Specs are a lot better. The kicker will be whether anyone will dev for it. Since it will be stock android, it should run great out of the box, without LG being able to jack it up.
Agreed with everything except wondering if devs will dev for it. Its a nexus so that's a guarantee.

Non-expandable storage is absolutely fatal. If it had 32gb fixed, I could deal with it, but 8gb and 16gb? Sod off. Nice specs, though. If it has a fixed battery that's also a major negative. Need to see more companies taking the maxx approach: make a thin phone, then use the space savings for a huge battery.
What are your thoughts now that we have an official announcement? For me, I wasn't planning on getting this Nexus anyway, and seeing no LTE makes me glad that I'm not in a position to get it this year.
I was heavily upset with hearing that it's currently only a GSM/HSPA+ device..... I am totally down for getting one, if they make a CDMA/LTE version but it's so not worth switching to Tmobile or AT&T... I still have unltd data on vzw
If it had options like 32 or 64 gb I could deal with the non removable battery and lack of lte if i was on tmobile or something.

I am fortunate enough to have the unlocked international S3, unlocked international One X, AT&T One X+ and the Optimus G (as well as a few others) and I am more than content to wait. Google Now is nice I just hope someone makes a toggle for it because it uses a lot of system resources..and battery

I wouldn't be jealous. I gave Touchwiz an honest try and just don't like it. A lot of what Samsung does is kind of redundant to everything Android already does. I wouldn't even want to use JB on this phone. This UI 3.0 really doesn't offer ANYTHING unique besides Quickmemo, which is something that can just be added on to an AOSP build.

While I can't say I disagree with what you say here about the UI... I would REALLY miss the dewdrop lockscreen on an AOSP build.
I really like AOSP, but I far from hate the latest Optimus UI... which I rarely say about manufacturer UIs.
To each their own though... I wonder how fast JB would be on this baby.
I'm assuming you wouldn't mind an AOSP JB build?
Hi, I bough the HTC one when it came one on T-Mobile, then after 4-5 days of use I decided to return. The reason was I had the Galaxy s3 before and thinking that the Galaxy s4 is much better watching online reviews. And I went and bought the international version of Galaxy s4 i9500 for $775 cash. Thinking its octocore and it has to be unbelievably fast. Now after using the GS4 I realized that HTC one is a much better and faster phone. Everything on the one is PREMIUM.
Now Im trying to get rid of the i9500 and get the HTC one back.

I will never buy a phone with non removal battery. Its stupidity. Here in europe you get 2 years for warranty and 6 months for battery. If you are unlucky after one year and battery is gone you have to pay to much for a replace battery or if you try to change it by yourself you loose warranty. Thats stupid in a phone of 700 or more euros. And so far i saw from comparison s4 is slightly better. Thats all because I say. Lol

Why be so childish over a phone? If you don't like the HTC one then why are you on this forum? No need to bash other phones just because you "think" yours is better. I have the HTC one and I love it because it's for me, my girlfriend has the gs4 because she's used to touchwiz and I've played with it and it's also a great phone. Stop all the bashing and just enjoy your phone. It's all about personal preference.

Because Android and iOS have polar opposite philosophies. Android offers users choice; and choice leads to freedom, ultimately entitlement. iOS says my way or highway. Capitalism vs. Communism.
