Suppose you wanted to 'upgrade' a Vibrant to another T-mobile phone. What would you pick?
Considerations: A good GPS, prospect of Ice Cream, no rooting hassles, FM radio?
Galaxy S 4G, G2X, .....?
thats too easy hercules! hercules over sensation any day and dont flame me about samsung updates. It will be a beast of a phone with or without the updates.
My first option would be an international SGS2, but seems like its not comming to TMO any time soon, so i would pick the Hercules.

Since it has an unlock already, what stops you from buying it off eBay?

Actually it will work fine on t-mobile except you would only have edge data

but edge is like working with dial up...so basically no! LOL
Hercules if you want a T-Mobile upgrade. I am probably going to buy the SGS2 internationally and go to ATT because the data plan is only $10 if you have an unlocked international phone.

For unlimited data? I was upset to here that att is buying T-Mobile because they are expensive but to be honest my data plan is half of my bill with T-Mobile. If it is unlimited is there a gigabyte cap?

Not long ago I'd have said the G2X since it is (close to) stock Android. However, in light of it being unavailable currently and until we know if GB will fix the defects it has, I'd have to belay that recommendation in favor of another.
Tentatively, the HTC Sensation, which launches the 15th. HTC generally doesn't bomb on their phone releases, so it should be a sweet device.
If neither one of these, then do not upgrade. They are the only phones improved enough over the vibrant to be worth upgrading to. The G2, MyTouch 4G, etc, are all pretty much "sideways" upgrades and not worth it.
Definatly the nexus s or hercules

I'm wondering the same thing. My tweenage daughter's line is eligible for an upgrade on TMO in 4 days. She's held onto her feature phone responsibly, so I'm inclined to get her an Android, or steal her upgrade and give her my Vibrant. That would piss her off, but hey, I'm the phone geek and I pay the bill! Might piss off my wife too though... hmmm.
I can switch us to the Family unlimited talk & text plan with 2 GB of data for all 3 lines for $189 before my AAA discount, which should bring it to ~$160/mo. That's about the same as we're paying currently (or a bit less) for 1800 min, Fave 5, $25 Android data x 2, unlimited txt, family allowances. I could also go a bit cheaper, give her 200 min and 200 mb instead of unlimited min/2 GB and save $30/mo.
Has to be Android, preferably vanilla (or easily rooted with good ROMs, ideally CM7 support), definitely 4G. She might prefer a hard keyboard, I don't. She'd probably be thrilled with a MyTouch 4G, I'd prefer something nicer, dual core. Haven't been keeping up with hardware developments, what's out, what's coming... Thoughts?
So I'm planning on getting the international version and using it on AT&T because I want the quad core and no bloat. Right now, I have a regular sim card and I know I will have to get a micro sim when I get my phone. Does anyone know if I can go into an AT&T store and have them swap it for me or will they be a$$es about it? I saw AT&T micro sims on Amazon and thought about ordering one and calling AT&T at that point and have them switch it over the phone. Any insight?
AT&T will swap it out without issue... Or at least should the one by me does

I've had my SIM swapped over 6 times in 2 years. Just.got a microSIM 3 days ago from the ATT store. It's always free @ an ATT store. Other stores may charge you though. They'll ask for your phone #, photo ID, what device you are using it in, and if you want to change your data plan
Cool, thanks guys. I don't like having to go to them to do a sim switch but I have no choice! No worries on the data plan, they already shafted me last year on that one. Switched me without notice or warning, god I LOVE THEM!
can i just say.. AT&T SGSIII is prob coming out June 20th. thats in like 2 weeks, itll take you that long to get an impossible to find SGSIII imported in. so youre not gonna be getting it any faster ordering it from uk.
as far as bloat.. you can remove it yourself once youre rooted, and there will be custom roms that do it for you..
as for the quadcore, the dualcore AT&T is using is just as fast, and clocked higher, so no noticeable performance differences there.
AT&T's SGSIII will have 2GB of ram, instead of 1GB.
and we just got LTE here in cleveland on AT&T.. im getting over 50kbps dl speeds.. thats not a typo, FIFTY!!! with the international version, youre looking at 4-6kbps MAX
the SGSIII on AT&T will be considerably less, (think 400 dollars less with contract).
these are all things you want to consider before getting the international version. its true in the past importing was always the best way to go, but this year seems like it may be different. id really suggest holding out a few days and seeing what AT&T's official moch up looks like
AT&T doesn't just add bloat...they remove useful or extra features in 90% of the smartphones that are sold for their network & overseas....fm radio, video editor, photo editor, phone tracking/ringing/remote wipe. Those are a few that they removed from the Note & Galaxy S II. And lets not forget that they haven't released ICS updates for those or any smartphone with the exception of the HTC Vivid.
Lol. "That's not a typo." I think you meant Mbps not Kbps.
So I'm switching to T-Mo hopefully within a couple of weeks, and I really like the S3 and the One S. I like the S3 more, but I don't know if it's worth the extra $130. Opinions?
The SGS3 is for sure worth it. Fantastic phone!!

If you're cost conscious, get the Galaxy Nexus for $350 from Play with t-mobile's $30/month, 100 minute 5GB prepaid plan (supplementing the 100 minutes with a google voice caller like groove ip). Over the course of two years, the lower plan cost would save you approximately $1000 (assuming that you would've otherwise gotten an $80 plan, not unrealistic including taxes).
Why the Galaxy Nexus? Because it's pentaband. Unfortunately the unlocked versions of the S3 and One X don't support t-mobile's frequencies as far as I know. You could buy the t-mobile version up front, but you'll eat an extra $300 that way for a phone that won't even work with any other carriers if you change your mind. You'd still save $700ish, but it's hardly ideal.

I own a One S and have used an S3. My opinion is that the S3 is only superior in its display. Speed-wise, the S3 and One S are neck and neck. Some tests even show the One S beating out the S3.
At the speeds these phones are at, you won't notice a difference in the overall experience between the 2. However, most people tend to get the S3, since it's the newer phone and has the nicer screen. I personally chose the One S since its screen is only 4.3 inches, which makes it much more comfortable to hold.
Either way, you can't go wrong. Both have good mod support and plenty of ROMs that range from modded stock ROMs, all the way to CM10/AOKP/AOSP roms.

I'm waiting for the Two hah
Seriously though non-expandable memory kinda kills it for me on the One S and reading the display isn't as sharp as the s3 is a deal breaker for me. One S with non-removable battery cover? Sealed? Ugh what a nightmare..
my answer is different.
if you have big hands or like touchwiz, then use gs3, BUT if you don't have that big of hands(me), or like sense 4(me), then use one s as that is smaller
and even though gs3 has removable storage, it still cannot be used as ext. so all the people you hear saying that sd card is good, I have just shot down half their aurgument
so if you buy an 8 gig galaxy s 3, you actually have less storage space than a one s as you 64 gb SD card is useless except for games and movies
so recap: if you has big hands then get galaxy s 3, if you has small hands get one s
or be me and wait for htc one x+

an external sd can also be used as swap partition serving as more ram. you can also install your apps on the sd card instead of internal memory. s3 is probably the best phone out there so far.

So what do y'all think about the no expansion thing? I'd personally buy this phone in a heartbeat if it had removable storage, but it doesn't....
I pre ordered last night. Canceled my old 3d contract and opened a line on verizon. With the speeds of there lte i plan on using dropbox alot prolly and google music. I love the phone but its more about network speed for me. I use my phone sometimes for hours on end at work waiting for products to finish so i can ship them and im beyond sick of me not even getting a usable signal and my partner getting 29mps lte inside. Ive had enough and dont care wtf it costs.

You guys would buy anything HTC throws your way.
This is a second rate phone, if fails in comparison to the Note 2. Sure it has a 1080p screen, but thats it.
No extra storage kills it for me. Well, that and that fact that the reviewers are still saying that our display is better (the DNA has a blue tint to it).

I wish I could buy this phone, I live in a place where Sprint has the worst connection ever. I would be fine no ad card since I could upload everything to my dropbox account over Verizon's crazy fat network. Only issue I have is this Sprint contract.

A great phone/phablet but it's no wonder HTC has fallen so far behind! What is this new philosophy of not including a removable battery and SD card. Yeah that crap may work for Apple but that was what made not just Android but HTC phones superior and then making it a Verizon exclusive? Apple and now Samsung have showed you that releasing across multiple carriers is the way to go but they still go with this stupid one carrier crap. As much as this pains me I think this is gonna be my last HTC device for a while. They take one step forward then immediately take 2 steps back.
Sounds alright. But I need way more than 16GB to store my crap.
I hope sprint gets some variant of it by Xmas...with sd expansion of course ..I want the pro s4 and the extra gig of ram.. besides that my LTE still is a great device esp when it gets LTE..I don't have too much phone envy yet ..as nothing really blows us out the water yet in terms of speed and I still think we have the best screen

Lol, when was the last time you had a Samsung phone?
HTC:we want to make a phone for your network.
Verizon:We want a new bangwiz display exclusive to just us.
HTC:But we would like to keep our one series fluid through out our line
Verizon:You made that EVO for Sprint so surely you can bend your rules a bit for us.
HTC: ummm, yea I guess it's Ok since we made a phone for sprint with LTE in the name but we should have called it the HTC EVO Air Plane trick.
Verizon: We would also like to have only 16GB on board with no option to expand storage so our users choose a higher Data limit to stream music and movies=Profit..
HTC: We're broke as F*** so I'm gonna bend over this chair will you bring the lube.
Verizon: Nah, we want to make sure this hurts..
Outcome= The HTC DROID DNA

Gizmodo just compared screens and out of five phones they panned the note 2. They actually redid their results to add it at peoples requests. The results were pretty self evident and they said the note 2 fans should be embarrassed for even requesting it.
And when did s4 quad core become second rate?They must hand out crack with each new Sammy purchase
But hey keep trolling HTC forums.

Yea 11gbs isn't that much especially with 1080P videos and with roms taking up 600-800 mbs each. Rom sizes might go up with the new sense 4+ and JB to so who knows if that will even last. Although that phone sounds like a beast only downfall is that no sd slot :/

I did read that until 11 Nov you can get the G2 free by ordering it online and using VZWDEAL code. I used that code last month when it was $200 and got 30% off. I have the Motorola Bionic and didn't plan to change, but the unlimited data glitch and 30% off code got me. Now when I use my Bionic it seems so small, so slow, and I'm really glad I jumped. If you are eligible for an upgrade you are losing about $22 a month by not taking a new phone. Verizon gives no discount for being paid off, so it's cheaper to jump.
Likes for G2:
Root
TWRP or CWM
Xposed Framework and modules
Camera
XDA forum support
Wireless charging
LG add on features
unlocked SIM
GSM frequencies
OTG support
low cost cases
battery life
solid 4G
Custom ROM are available
I understand your hesitation.
I also have a GNex and unfortunately mine was really starting to show its age.
I had been eyeing the G2 but finally made the jump with the recent price drop combined with the promo code to make the phone free.
I don't regret it at all. There's a significant speed/battery life difference. And surprisingly, not much of a size difference.
I second this. I came from a genx with unlimited data to 6g now. I don't regret it. I have been using for a week now and my battery has gotten better.
Off charge this morning with light use throughout the day, few pics at my daughters soccer game, light browsing through out the day and I am around 50% as I type this message.
I also no nothing of lte advanced. I am in a smaller town so unless it is wide spread deployment, I don't have it here.

How is it hard to go from the AWFUL galaxy Nexus to an AMAZING G2?
I wrny from gnex to G2 just last wednesday. I must say that with all due respect to the Galaxy Nexus the lg g2 makes the gnex feel like a flip phone.
Battery life, screen brightness, screen resolution, camera, processor speed, overall feel of software speed through stock rom is nothing short of spectacular. I have rooted my g2 but i have yet to put a custom rom causr i wanna give stock a shot. However, either custom or stock rom this cell phone is leaps and bounds ahead the Galaxy Nexus.
As far as LTE-A i have no idea.

LTE Advanced is not live, nor is it in testing. Tech blogs/news sites lied, it is the AWS spectrum being tested. Currently it is only to be available in certain east coast areas. LTE Advanced is supposed to be nearly double to triple what AWS accomplishes, and at a better frequency.

Verizon is currently having a promo where you can get 6GB of data for $30/mo. You may want to consider taking this deal as the manager of my local Verizon stated that unlimited data plans will soon be bumped down to tiered data plans, regardless if you upgrade or not. Much like what AT&T is doing soon..
I called tech support yesterday to report a Web site issue. Tech who helped me went way out of his way to help me upgrade two unlimited lines to the g2. I managed to upgrade one using another line's upgrade (which extended that line's contract only four months), upgrade the second using promotions/employee discount, and keep unlimited on both lines. I didn't get the $50 sale, but it was a lot less than full retail ($450). I got two g2's for about 300. I'd highly recommend going to the Verizon store and or calling sales/support first. They have some employees that care more about the customer than Verizon's bottom line. Of course they have some that tell you to go to shared contract or buy full retail so they don't have to go through the trouble too.

i believe LTE-A is only available in internationala areas, like in Korea. not sure if its here in US though. AWS is available in some areas, specifically NYC. my friend has an S4 and after upgrading his radios, he is able to get AWS speeds. not sure if G2 will get new radios for AWS anytime soon though.
as for jumping from GNEX to G2, you will notice the huge difference. better in every way. i was waiting for the N5 but after reading the early specs that it was going to have 2300mah battery compared to G2's 3000mah, i jumped on the G2. even after N5 release, i would still stick with the G2. battery and screen (thin bezels) are the winners for me. i also kept my unlimited data while paying the subsidized price so i'm definitely happy.
Kept unlimited data?

During the first "unlimited" glitch late September I got my G2, but how did you get Verizon to let you keep unlimited data? I actually have major problems activating my G2 and had to use 2 other Verizon 4G phones to activate the micro SIM card to get the G2 on Verizon network. I actually don't know if I swap SIM cards if I'll have a working phone or not, but after 3 phone swaps I quit swapping.
If your on vzw this is the phone to get. Its this or wait 6 months lol. The HTC one is great but the battery life is just ok and the capacitive buttons are plane stupied. The s4 and note 3.. I'll always pass on tw. Its just a really bad Rom. Moto x. That would have been my next phone but they just can't get a decent camera! Leaving the g2. Is Is imo the best of the bunch. I've had it for 2 months? Give or take, and freaking love it. I think knock on is the most innovative feature of any 2013 phone. Active display is pretty ingenious too lol.

The extremely helpful guy from verizon tech support is going to activate both phones once they arrive...I have five lines with verizon; two with unlimited, one is house, and last two are basic feature phone lines. From what I understand from him is that we are going to activate the two G2's on the basic lines, then switch them over to the unlimited lines. He managed to get me the sale prices as well! Two G2's with unlimited for about $160 after rebates and account credits. Hopefully it all pans out. I'll know for sure Friday, but he sounded confident and indicated he has done this a few times before. He had me talk to his supervisor as well and he sounded like he was cool with the whole process.
