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!

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
Well I was wondering since I'm about ready for my Tmobile phone upgrade, I wanted to know if the amaze 4G is a good phone to have. I'm currently using the HTC Wildfire S and I want to get it out of my sight. Please comment if this is a good idea to get this phone before I upgrade. Thanks
Since you're so close to your upgrade you might want to wait for the One S.
If you can handle not being able to have a spare battery and SD card. You do get a s4 processor which should get better battery life and perform better also.

Yes but it's gonna be too expensive from the look of it. Also since the one s is going out, there is a good chance of the amaze prices to drop dramatically.
Well I just bought an amaze today, have to wait for it to come. Im not on post-paid and I don't feel like dropping $700 on a phone for he One S.
I probably would've waited if I had a contract. The Amaze is great so I hear.. will know in a few days.
I think its really down to your personal preference, an little older CPU with a SD card and spare batteries. Or a new CPU with no spare battery and 16gb locked.
I was tempted to wait, but ended with the Amaze.

Thanks for your opinion. Looks like I'm getting an amaze
I just brought my third amaze yesterday. Now my wife, daughter and I have one. Looked at a couple other options and weighing the pros and cons, the amaze came out on top, again
Sent from my HTC Amaze 4G using XDA Premium App
Amaze Hands down! i was considering Galaxy SII X but Amaze has better resolution, beter cameras (Front and back) even though its heavier imo it has a 'nicer' design. The cons are as follows:
-Weight
-Lack of Rom Development (We havent achieved S-OFF, and WIFI Drivers are a problem so i read)
-Screen Bleed at the capacitive buttons at the problem ... not a big deal its just at the bottom it will look brighter.)
-battery might suck on stock. For me im running stock and i get full 24 hour usage (phone calls, texting, tweeting, facebooking, browsing, music)
Pros: everything else

Thanks and im getting this phone
So how much did each of you pay when you first got it from tmobile?
i bought mine out right bnib for 380$
bought mine from a guy on xda for $360 with box in new condition. only thing messed up is the vibration (it rattles). that's it though
I don't regret buying it at all, I like the heft to it. it makes it feel expensive. the only other phone I wish I would have waited for is the xperia s which isn't much of a upgrade. considering it has the same processor and same amount of RAM, only huge plus is that its playstation certified and the design.
Mine was 350 with contract but if I would've waited one more week it would've Ben free but I don't care. I love my phone

So I'm probably it's gonna be $175 with a two year contract for me from Tmobile,... hopefully
im on a value plan, so i paid $625 minus $225 rebate. after tax it was like $430 or something. decent phone, lack of development knocks it down a few notches for me tho. when the s3 comes out, this phone is history

I love my amaze! Upgraded from the G2 so this phone is lighter compared to the G2. Ya support is low ATM but we have some good devs working on some AOSP ROM's. S-off is still down the road but I'm sure it will be obtained, once that happens and we have cm 9 running I'll bet people will be more interested in this device.
And I got mine for about 350 after the rebate and discount.
Sent from the Morgue!
There is someone local selling an unlocked international version on the GS2, with the physical button on the bottom. Is there any differences in the software between this and the TMO version? If I were to buy this, can I flash and root as if I were using the standard GS2?
thanks.
If that is the international version (namely i9100) then that is the standard sgs2. It had more development going on than the other versions of it.

I saw that, and read an article that kept talking about the Nexus 7. I had a G2X that a sold and picked up a Nexus S for $165. I don't like this damn phone, so I'll be promptly selling and using the profit for a top tier phone!
Does the S2 feel like the standard cheap Samsung while holding it? Or does it actually have some weight to it? Coming from LG's and HTC's, those things are heavy.
EDIT: The Galaxy Nexus is supposedly available again next week.

The S2 does feel flimsy when holding it, but you get used to it honestly... Dropped the phone many times, only have one dent on it.

For me it is decent enough to look at and doesn't feel cheap even though it's light weight. Hmmm, you should decide whether you want a fast update (GNex) or better hardware buy slow update (Sgs2). Sgs2 is a great phone but samsung has the habit of updating a device for a year and then stop (not 1 year but you get the point). If i had the chance i would swap my sgs2 for GNex but i'm in doubt since i am a heavy user and i use my phone for gaming. Also, GNex lacks External SD card which is a No No for me.

Well, either way, I'll look forward to the device. Having the international version will be cool since not a lot of people have it, especially in white.
There is also a guy selling a white Galaxy Nexus. not too sure which to go for, same price even.

I don't really care for the OTA's, I'll flash whoever put together a flashable version of whatever OTA is released...
I actually ordered a G. Skill 32gb SDHC Class 10 from newegg.com for my G2X, which I don't have anymore, now with the Nexus S, I have no use for the card! The SD write speeds on this phone are HORRIBLE, about 800k/sec!!!
I'm a fan of the non-carrier branded devices for some reason. My G2X had LG on the top instead of the traditional T-Mobile, and the screen hue while turned off was a brownish color instead of a blueish-gray that the TMO version had. I had one of each G2X's and in comparison, the screen for the LG branded was much more vibrant.
Now I have the Nexus S, again no branding, which is another reason why I want the Galaxy Nexus.
I'm confused, to say the least!
Well, if you don't care about updates then go for the international sgs2 (i9100). Great specs and still one of the best phone in the market.

The S3 is WAY to overpriced, I would just get that, but not willing to dish out around $500 for a non contracted phone.
Oh, another reason to stay away from the carrier branded for me, is that they won't get IMEI/ESN locked by which ever carrier!

Huh? i don't really care to receive Jelly Bean on the Nexus S, the DPI is atrocious on this phone. That, mixed with the screen type don't equal out to a good display. My G2X looked WAY better than this device.
The S2 will get a good Jelly Bean port before the Nexus S will, I'm sure of that.
Hi, I was hoping for a little help with my decision. I am up for an upgrade this coming Monday and it works out that I can get an original Galaxy Note for $50 on contract. I can also get the Gs3 for the same price, but I love the size of the Note. So basically is there a lot of development for the Note? Is everyone here happy with getting the Note and would they keep their Note over a Gs3?
Sent from my Desire HD using xda app-developers app
Wait 2 more months for the Note 2.
♥★♥ My phablet Galaxy Note ♥★♥
Well my only problem with that is I can't afford the Note 2, thats why I asked about the original Note.
Sent from my Desire HD using xda app-developers app
My reasons for choosing the note over sg3:
Big screen (don't think I could go back at this point)
S pen
This may be weird, but I don't like the button on the front screen of the sg3.
Hardware is fine, even though sg3 is a little bit nicer.
The Rom community for the note is very active.
Either way, you're getting a badass phone

Thanks for the information, I was worried about getting a year-old phone and not having much development for it.
We know the note is a great device.....
And we "think " the note 2 will be a great device ...
Call me old fashioned .... but I like a device with a track record ....and this device has one.
I'd buy it again in a second ...g

I had the same decision and jumped on the Note. It's impossible to beat that price and I don't think the Note 2 will be worth $150 more than the Note 1. I'm also betting that most of the additional Note 2 functionality will find its way into the Note 1. I've gone back and forth between the Collective ROM and the OnlyOne which I understand isn't being worked on anymore. It gave me S-Voice and other SG3 functionality that I can't remember right now. Like you, I've got the TP running the latest CM9 nightly and the Inspire 4G running the latest Jelly Time. The Note is far and away my favorite. The screen is amazing.
Would you happen to know if CM10 runs well on it as well? I really appreciate all of the feedback and advice. I usually leave my phones stock for a month or do, then its flashing time! So I'm hoping the Note had a lot of choices when it comes to custom ROMs.

I've been running PA (found in the original dev section) and it's great, a couple of small issues but the phone is soo smooth. Also there's been an announcement from Samsung that says they'll be putting out an official JB ROM. Personally I love the Note and I'm still not sold on the next one. If you want to get an awesome price, wait for a couple of weeks before the Note 2 is released, you should be able to get it for next to nothing.
As it stands now I can get it for $50, brand new on contract. Thats a great deal I think.

Just my two cents i have owned both the GS3 and the Note and so far i think the note blows away the GS3 it is nice and as quick as my GS3 was.
The thing is huge but after a couple days you become used to it and will not notice its size also the screen is beautiful processor seems solid battery life is good and i pound on my battery streaming surfing the web and playing music and i get a solid 5 hours and thats constant use if i leave it alone it will go the whole day which i couldnt with the GS3
Sound quality for the speaker is so-so but ive come to expect this from phones now when i plug my headphones in the sound is crystal and sharp
Also running CM10 some weird issues but nothing that is a deal breaker all in al i say you cant go wrong
I'll probably hold out on CM10 if JB is coming soon, but thanks for the help. You guys are all making my decision so much easier!

My amaze 4G broke. Screen, but works fully.

Money being no object......Buy multiple Amaze's, root them and put Nitemare 1.6 on them and then sell the ones you dont need at a profit.
My Sensation was completely awesome, I bet you can get one for a good price. Too bad I broke it and had to get the Amaze.
The sensation is basically the Amaze except half as thick, lighter, better looking, better battery, better development, screen was great, and it was overall just awesome.
The Amaze is a huge downgrade, it's so glitchy, heavy, thick and ugly and the customization rom-wise is very weak.
If you can get the sensation for a good price I highly recommend it.
I think it was one of the revolutionary phones, and set the standard for other droids to date.
But that's just my opinion. If I had a choice I would have the Sensation right now over any phone, even the GS3.
Get an HTC One S! Or unlock and get a ONE X+

Money being no object, the Nexus 4 is the universal recommendation we can make (pentaband 3G like the Amaze). I'm assuming you're in the USA, so keep an eye next week when Verizon will reveal the Droid DNA, which looks like to be HTC's second superphone of 2012, after the One X series.

Why not the HTC one x+ that should be an amazing phone and probably better than sgs3 and definitely a lot more beautiful. Although sgs3 is an amazing phone software and hardware wise to me it looks ugly and again feels cheap when I held it one x+ sports better specs and keeps in mind aesthetics along with premium quality just not sure why many people aren't suggesting it and suggesting an inferior device (sgs3) especially when price is not a factor and if it was nexus 4 would be the best choice so either way sgs3 is now more hype than anything now that there are better phones on the market

No removable battery, no memory expansion, 1gb ram. And... Tegra processor? Eh. I guess that's 'better'. The s4 chip can handle anything I've used it for quite smoothly, if I was going quad core I'd go with something s4 pro. Also some people prefer to have a settings button on the phone, I know I do. Plus all the red tape from HTC rgd development and such. Good development community over at the sgs iii. You asked, I answered I've not held the one x+ granted, I was not impressed with the feel of the one s. And considering the one x+ is almost the same dimensions as the gs iii I gotta say the feel of the gs iii grows on ya haha. But anyway just my opinion.
