Slacky McSlackAss Posted October 5, 2011 Author Share Posted October 5, 2011 Well, there is always the HTC Vigor which is rumored to come out this month. My sister has the Thunderbolt, not big on the size of the phone. I don't need some monster 4.3" screen, that's what I have a laptop for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galaxy had some better features. And I've had Sense UI for the last 2 years, it's time for a bit of a change. And the Vigor is going to be twice the thickness of an iPhone 4 or Galaxy S II Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinInsite Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Samsung just updated their teaser page, looks that the new phone got some sort of curved screen going on. Wonder how well that would work. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oM9RO-GAKjE&feature=player_detailpage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonArtest15 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 If I want to buy the 4S on either the 14th or 15th, is the pre-order a MUST? I remember what a headache it was to get the iPad2, so I was wondering if this release is going to be much of the same....I just want to walk into AT&T and buy LOL.

Rdskn4Lyf21 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Presenting the iPhone 4S: Now with most of the features other phones have had, but still touting inferior hardware. I'm glad I got off the iPhone...I would've been disappointed as hell if I was waiting for this thing to come out. I am looking forward to buying it and turning a nice profit though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kubstix Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I wonder when Apple fanboys will finally start realizing that Apple products are complete pieces of garbage and they get brainwashed by an EXCELLENT marketing team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sticksboi05 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I won't go as far as saying they are garbage, they make great products but their little half-ass semi-new releases sort of cheat people. They will make this full price (I believe) for a semi-update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The phone really isn't that bad. I keep mine in my pocket all day and hardly notice it most of the time. Plus the bigger screen is nice when watching videos and playing games.

I_Bleed_B&G Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I want to get the Prime with Sprint but I'm not eligible for an upgrade until 4/1/12. Is there a way I can get this phone without paying full price with Sprint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hp703 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Depends. I'm not looking to pay full retail for it, so if I could sell the Thunderbolt for a decent price then maybe. But I really like the Thunderbolt. Had a few problems early on with battery life, but once I rooted it, its been amazing. My battery lasted a day and a half this past weekend. Honestly, I've got the same phone...ATT version at least...and if you have a rooted phone. I bet you were looking at nearly all the "new", "shiny" iOS5 features thinking, I already have that..:ols: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Brave Little Toaster Oven Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Please give me some reasons to want the Nexus Prime. Apple pissed me off yesterday by not releasing the iPhone 5....and I cant wait much longer for a new phone since my phone barely makes it through the day.

It honestly has to be what your plans are for the phone. Are you a straight forward user or do you frequent the XDA forums looking for every single possible mod you can find? The beauty of the Nexus Prime is because it's one of Google's flagship phones, giving you a pure & bone stock experience with Android. While some of the skins placed on top of Android by manufactures can be not only useful and benefitial, some people don't want all the extras. It's a developers wet-dream because you're first in line for every Android update. If you need a phone now, and you're with Sprint, ATT or T-Mobile, I'd opt for the Samsung Galaxy S2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would recommend anyone who has a Droid should root their phone. 1) My battery now lasts as long if not longer than my wife's iPhone 4. 2) It runs faster since you get rid of all the crap that Verizon puts on there.

Heisenberg Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I won't go as far as saying they are garbage, they make great products but their little half-ass semi-new releases milk the cash out of brainwashed consumers. It's pathetic. Why pay that much money for old technology? And some in this thread want to do so. It's sad, really. You know that it is possible for someone to just prefer the OS, right? I currently have a 3GS, this phone would be a nice upgrade for me. I've checked out Droids and think that some of them are pretty cool. I just prefer the intuitiveness of iOS over anything I've seen from the Android platform - so far anyway. I don't really think that makes me "brainwashed". However, I'm not sure why someone would choose to pay to upgrade from the iPhone 4 to this new version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinInsite Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Apple products are not so bad if you just update every two years. This phone would be a huge upgrade for 3GS owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm usually a straight forward user since that's what I've been accustomed to. I use the internet a lot though on my phone, so something that is fast is perfect for me.

I recommend it to everyone, maybe it's just me but the sense of satisfaction that comes when I tell people my phone will last close to 16 hours on heavy usage is amazing. I keep it running at a max 1.3ghz but it will cycle through all the way down to 192mhz. Battery life is saved immensely by underclocking and undervolting when either the phone is in idle/screen off. I refuse to call it a phone, it's now a device that makes calls and texts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google Maps loads much faster on a Droid than the iPhone plus Google maps on an android device does navigation turn by turn. I don't believe the iPhone google maps does that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
