Like the title states...I ask this because after being disappointed by my brand new Galaxy Nexus with a defective screen. I'm looking to get the galaxy s2. But I'm torn between the SGH-T989 and this device because of the different processors. I realize that if I am to get the i9100 I will be stuck on edge.
The main reason I upgraded from my earlier phone the HTC Sensation was for a gorgeous display and an amazing day to day performance which my Galaxy Nexus failed to deliver. So I was just wondering if anyone who currently owns the i9100 is using it on T-Mobile and is it worth the edge or is the SGH-T989 as good or good enough as the i9100? All Opinions are Welcome.

I think being stuck on edge would feel crippling to me.

Are you in America? Because I'm on T-Mobile in the UK, and apart from my data being throttled to 1.8Mbps, its fine.

I've never managed more than 1mbps.....
I am perfectly satisfied with T-Mobile in Germany, other then them throttling my data after 300mb/month. Of course this is my own fault for the plan I setup.
He is on T-mobile USA, so different frequencies than Europe, and this phone (I9100) only gets Edge data speeds.

Your right..even with an amazing phone like the galaxy s2 having it on edge only is an insult and I couldn't tolerate it. So I'll just stick with my GN and see what happens with the Galaxy s3.

Hi guys. I'm looking for best hardware and software ICS for t-mobile which is unlock able for under $250. Any ideas.
Currently thinking of Samsung S Vibrant unless u guys think of better hardware (higher specs) and software support, meaning ICS already developed on XDA?
Ideas?
i own the galaxy s vibrant, and all i can say is that i love it. But i do not own the 4g. The 4g has very poor development in my opinion. but i love love love my vibrant.
T959

T959 you own? I'm little confused cause on T959 it also says 4G but according to gsmarena it's vibrant. Confused a little.
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_vibrant-3416.php
there are two separate phones obviously. i have the t959, i do not know the product number on the 4g. but i do know the 4g is not usually called the vibrant, just the galaxy s 4g
oh, and btw, the 4g has a front facing camera (ffc), thats a good way to tell them apart.

Thanks bro. I was just thinking of the same thing for a reason that It has all GSM quad bands, which T959 does not have (dual only) and Tmobile/europe 3G bands. Nice! It also has ICS out already. Any other ideas guys???

ya buy it! its a very good decission!

S3, you can live a month with your evo, can't you ?
This phone (GT-I9100) doesn't work on Sprint. If you're asking about the Sprint Galaxy S2 variant, then you're asking about the Epic 4g Touch. Which has a separate forum.

Great advice, if he wants to change carriers.
Since, as I said above, this phone doesn't work on Sprint's network.
If he wants a Galaxy S2 variant that works on Sprint, he wants to look at the Epic 4g Touch.
Thanks for the advice guys, I will wait for S3! As far as sprint goes, they offer a Samsung galaxy S2 on their page. What's the difference?

Hardware. The one Sprint offers is the Epic 4g Touch, (aka SPH-D710) and runs on a CDMA network. That phone has its own separate forum.
THIS phone (GT-I9100) is a GSM phone, and as I've already said, won't run on Sprint's network.
moving on to best smartphone of the year! galaxy s2 is a very wise move mate or better yet wait galaxy s3 but unfortunately release date is still unknown..
Hey guys, well it doesn't look like another amaze is in y future, but im getting a rezound to replace my work phone (my dx) . Has any one here had any experience, opinions?
How's the 4g lte? I know I could have posted in the resound forums, bit I wanted to see if anyone has switched to or from big red, and went from amaze to rezound or vice versa..

TMobile doesn't have lte. So if the resound is att it would be best to ask elsewhere.

Yes. Having been a tmo customer for over 12years I am well aware of that thanks though lol.
The rezound is a Verizon phone fyi.
I was just wondering what if any experiences amaze owners have had .

Just check gsmarena, pretty sure they have a review on it, they have a review on just about every phone and pretty solid at that, they tell you as it is, if that battery life sucks, they say so flat out.
I've used one before cause I was thinking about going to Verizon. It has a slighter higher resolution (720x1280) but the picture quality is pretty much identical. The LTE network is very fast but unfortunately it will put quite a drain on the battery if you leave it on. That's one of the reasons I went with the HTC Amaze since HSPA+ is about as fast as Verizon's LTE... and no battery drain.
Oh yeah it has Beats audio but its just software and can be flashed to the Amaze if your phone is rooted.
Ok I just posted as another thread in a complete wrong section so I'm sorry if this is also the wrong one. (I've never used the app before). my question is, is the telstra s2 4g the same as the s2 epic 4g touch? And if so where can I find roms and such for it? Thanks

G'Day fellow Failstra user
The main difference lies in the model numbers. I'm using the Telstra variant 3G S2, which gives me the model i9100T, where yours is i9210. I don't know the Epic's model, but it will be different again.
I was wondering the same thing about the 4G ROMs, as I got offered one for the same price as it'll cost for repairing this one. So I'm considering the change, but it depends on the availability of ROMs for it.
Maybe look further in this General forum for the Australia thread and see if there is any info in there.

Haha completely agree with the failstra. I it have them because they are the only network with coverage where I live :/... Otherwise Anaheim all the way .... But back to the subject, I have been reading around and from what I can tell the 4g is a completely different phone to the 3g because it has a different chipset.

I'm pretty sure this is correct. The Exynos processor from the Galaxy S II models isn't compatible with LTE networks. Even if it was, you might still have troubles because the networks are different so i wouldn't be surprised if the anntenas weren't different.
I feel sorry fit you because I'm having the same trouble atm with my Galaxy Tab 8.9
