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.

But as far as phones, which is better? I don't want to give up a great working phone for one that might have a problem. Please give me ur opinions. Thanks!

LMAO!
Have a Lumia 900, selling it and got a Titan II. The main thing I'm going to miss are the exclusive Nokia apps (Drive, Maps, etc). The reason I am switching is because the Titan II uses a regular size SIM. I also have a GSM Galaxy Nexus which I use 90% of the time, and the Titan II is for occasional WP7 fun. It is no fun futzing with the micro-SIM, even with the German made SIM adapter I bought.
If it weren't for me being so heavily invested in Google and actually liking ICS, I'd get the Lumia if it was my only phone. Nokia is the only WP7 manufacturer taking their userbase seriously. Updates are released all the time and they are way on top of making the experience very good.
HTC and Samsung? They made the phones, released them and that's about it. Android is where their heart is, not so with Nokia.
Not sure where to put this...but here we go.
As with past devices, including the s2 skyrocket, recent tabs and orig note, I will have the chance to see, touch and play with the Note 2 well before release. Specifically Thursday.
Just as I did with previous devices I wanted to get input on questions to ask etc.
This opportunity has nothing to do with my employment at Sprint. Any information obtained is obtained through relationships prior to and outside of my employment with Sprint.

What problem is this?
Your leak on the original Note was spot on, so I'm excited to see what you dig up, even if you don't get a chance to take pics. Plus, getting hands on this early is indicative that they're already in production, which looks like Samsung is going to go with a semi-simultaneous global launch like the gs3...good news for my buddy who is converting to android for the Note 2 from his iPhone.

Hello,
I really like the Note 2, I've gone back to it two times already, once from a Iphone 5, and the 2nd from a Lumia 920. The lumia 920 was great for photos, but the windows UI was extremely boring. I hardly use the S-pen as well, I just like the big screen. But I do have a small wifi problem with my note 2 right now, in which a new replacement is coming in soon. Any Note 2 users out there planning to ditch and get the HTC One?

I'm not an addict I just flash a lot.
Over the past year I have carried every major new phone in AT&Ts lineup and this is the first one I have been truly excited about. I haven't been able to put it down. The Note 2 was significantly better than the Note, but can't hold up the jock strap of the One. Screen size is the only this the Note has going for it, the screen resolution on the One is ridiculous and more than makes up for the size.
Quality over size. And yes, that is what she said.

i can't ditch the Note 2. to date, it's the best android phone/device i've used. it's a great work phone (e.g, i use the S-Pen quite often, sign lots of documents, draw on other documents) and for my usage pattern, battery life is superb. that said, i cannot pass up the HTC One! i'm wondering how well i'll adjust to a slightly smaller screen...
dont do it u going to miss amazing screen amazing battery life removal sdcard and unlock bootloader if you flash a lot of rom
