So I just got a free vibrant from T-mo and not sure if I should sell it and get something else or keep it..
I was hoping some vibrant owners could give me some first hand testimony about the device that could help me make my decision, of course im gonna root it and i browsed at the development section and it looks like there some really intresting stuff going on in there, which is a great sign!!
So any input is greatly appreciated!!
Thanks for your time.

I'll buy it from you,how much you want for it?
Great hardware, beautiful screen, and the Nexus S MAY lead to gingerbread soon. The ui is incredible and it's VERY hard to brick.
Our Dev support is amazing as well. A rooted/Rom'd Vibrant is pretty much the best it can get IMO.

It's a top-end device that should have 2.3 soon. It has the best screen and video chip of any android phone (except possibly the Nexus S), amazing for gaming and movies ... and basically everything. The contrast and brightness of this screen is unbelievable. Resolution is second only to the iPhone 4. Great dev support -- run Team Whiskey's "Nero" ROM
TL;DR
KEEP THE PHONE!

Maybe some hacked up dev version of 2.3, but it's not getting official 2.3 anytime soon, most likely never.
The question no one asked is what getting the free vibrant did for your handset upgrade qualification? If you can't get the full discount to upgrade for another 20 months or so, it might not be that great of a deal. The new, dual core phones with 2.3 will probably be out in February.
If it was free, and you aren't loaded, I would def keep it. I love my phone, and all the new roms coming out make me fall in love all over again each flash. I'm kind of a gadget geek, and I am constantly wanting the latest and greatest. I'm thinking about biting the bullet and getting the new mytouch 4g.

Nexus S has the same processor and GPU as Galaxy S
I think the general consensus on these forums would be that you need to root it, and ROM it. The stock android release that ships on it is littered with problems that power users like us can't handle, and Samsung doesn't have a thing on current vibrant developers who consistently make the phone amazing.
That said, 10,000,000 of these things have been sold and most people are oblivious to the issues on this phone. They use it and it's incredible hardware without issue.

@brian_ventura Tuesday and weds they were runnig a promo for free vibrants for contracts and upgrades..
Does anyone know if I can eliminate the data plan or is it part of the 2yr contact??
Until the dual core phones come out, the Vibrant is the best phone money can buy IMO. It has the best screen in the business, a great loud speaker, super fast CPU and GPU, lots of memory and memory expansion, tough as nails to brick and the best developer support on the planet.

oh -_- i thought the OP meant literally free vibrant without 2yr contract/upgrade.
Hi im upgrading from an Incite XD and im wondering if i should buy an Inspire or the Atrix.. this question is killing me and i dont have an answer yet :S so which one do you think can be the best choice ? i will use my phone to read many stuff in the internet but i dont know what is better for this... the inpsire big screen so i dont have to zoom in too much or the atrix qhd resolution ? also the inspire is cheaper but if the atrix worth it i could buy it and the last thing is that i like to customize my phone and being able to unlock it so i can use it in mexico i think that both can be unlocked but maybe im wrong so please what do you think is the best option for me ? thanks
I think what it comes down to is they are both excellent phones but you have to make a choice between the Atrix's locked bootloader but more or the Inspire's poor battery life.
Go to your AT&T store and play with both of the phones before you decide to purchase either one. Don't let a bunch of people you never met in your life decide for you.

Guys I would like your opinion. Should I trade my s 2 for a note?? It will be a simple trade no money involved? Should I do this is the note better?
Go ask in the Note forum. How would we know ? We're SGS2 owners, remember ? #duh
If you can carry it have have large pockets and its not your primary phone, then yes
But when its your primary phone then its too big to take it everywhere and answering phone calls in public looks very weird
As no money is involved I'd say yes. It's a lovely phone if you can get used to the size. Played with it many times and it's lovely. The screen size is excellent and doesn't seem that big due to its slimness.
The s-pen is quite useful. And development seems good as well.

If I had this offer I would do it without hesitation. Its just a bigger SG2, bigger battery and its a really nice experience especially looking at web sites with the bigger screen. Plus the s pen I say do it.
i would do it, its simple - bigger screen and better resolution
You won't regret, do it. And too bad nobody asks me to trade
If you happen to you has used the large size of the Note then takes!
I would keep the S2.
Dewd if u will buy note u cnt tk it with u at all places ... Cuz its screen is to big.. N it will be hard 4 u to take it with u all the time when u go out...

Plus it has a 2012 keyboard compared to some SGS2 users .

That was sarcasm intended for the member who posted above him.
Anyway, I guess everyone has answered it already. Check out the Note personally and get a feel of it. If you don't mind the size and are comfortable, than definitely go for the trade.
Thanks everyone btw how do I close the thread?

Sorry my friend but i don't agree,,,,, i have both the phones and i promise u , once after using the note for a few days , i am starting to think that this is the siez a smart phone out to be of ,,,trust me the experience is just better with it ,,,
yes awsum pro ;,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, yes do 1t 4 u yes ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I agree with most who posted here, as I have a friend who has one and am thinking of getting one myself (but want to wait couple more months to see what other new phones coming).
You have to ask yourself What you want to use it for?!
I do a few jobs and one of them is graphics design. Something like that can be useful to me, when I have an idea from out of the blue and want to do a quick mockup.
- or someone in business who answers many emails might like more space.
However - I also think the price of it is a bit high (and I'm not short on money). Here in Asia, can get myself a tab/pad for even cheaper... which will give me better use for what I need.
Hi guys JediRam here just posting to say HI.
I have been an Iphone user from the start. Was deep into jailbreaks and... well you know. About the time the Iphone 5 was about to come out. I was ready for a new contract. Jumped all over the Iphone 5 until I seen it man I wanted a new and bigger screen. A friend of mine told me to look into Android and WOW my eyes were open to the hassle free customization you can in joy on an Android. And with the Galaxy Note size screen I loving this. I'm now running the Padawan 4 ROM now should I or is it worth flashing to the new 5V? I just got it set up the way I like .
Thanks a bunch
Ram
