THe main reason I wan to do this is because of the fact that the Mytouch has all the feautures the Vibrant should have had! I mean who doesn't put a flash for the camera on a high end phone? Why does Samsung take foreeeeever to get 2.2 over to the states!? I guess I'm a bit frustrated at this point. I love the phone capabilities but at this point i think the Mytouch is superior in many aspects!
Not another one of these....

A flash on the MT4G camera is putting lipstick on a pig.
The G2 camera has a flash. Here's some blown up sample photos, Blackberry Curve on the left, G2 in the middle, Vibrant on the right:

I mean its fine that your switching, whatever floats your boat And its your money blah blah blah. What I don't understand is why everyone has to feel as though they have to announce it to everyone, like everyone really cares that you a total stranger is switching phones. Good luck with your decision.

nobody cares. Go do whatever you want with your phone. I don't get why you have to make a post about.
I personally feel that people that create these posts are looking for reassurance from the Vibrant community, or a good reason NOT to switch to another phone. I have showed my Vibrant to people that have the Evo, G2, Iphone 4g, etc and every single one of them prefer the Vibrant overall.
sooo what was the purpose of making this thread....SMH
nobody asked for your opinion...especially in a vibrant forum.

trust me, it can't take a picture when its dark at night and there's no light other then the moons. Or if I'm out at a bar it can't take a picture with the quality a phone with flash can. Its embarrasing when you can't take a picture at night.

I used to think the flash wasn't much need too. The flash on the mt4G does make a huge difference though. That's all I have to say.
Edit: I have both in hand right now, maybe I'll take some comparison pics.
IMO if you buy a phone to take pictures in dark places you're a moron. That's what Digital Camera's are for. Yes flash is nice to have sometimes, but I used an iPhone for 2 years and didn't have a problem with no flash. I honestly don't miss it. If I take pictures in low light area's I grab my Canon Camera.

If you go in to buy a phone and think "Hm, which phone would I want to take to a dark alley and take pictures.." Just buy a damn camera.
I don't know this has turned to flash talk.

It looks like a giant candybar! I have nothing against the Evo 4G nor the HD2 which I previously owned (I took it back! Found the recipt DJ!) but the enormous screens aren't for me. They just feel like their gonna snap with their extreme thiness, not to mention the battery life was bad on my hd2 due to a 1230 mah. But, the Evo and HD2 are fine, this thing is rediculous. It's longer than the rest and what's up with the mirrored finish around the screen? If you wanna make a 4.4 inch look bigger on a phone your insane!
Much too big for my daily use. Plus we need detailed specs & benchmarks for evaluating it

Look it up bro. It's all over the net. It's currently the fastest phone as of right now (I THINK***)
And I'd get it. And of course a great phone MUST come with Android. Anything else would be crap.
The Samsung Galaxy S 1900 hummingbird chip or whatever is supposedly way faster than the snapdragon... I honestly have never heard of this phone before today lol.... I'm just not really a fan of motorolas.

Yea, no decently spec'd Android phone in a while that's GSM. I mean the Galaxy s thingamajig (I don't know what it's called) is the most advanced gsm we have right now, but unfortunately no HTC's since the desire! Where are you GSM devices with really good hardware and awesomeness eminating from you!
EDIT: ATT is getting a major advanced (im being sarcastic) Android HTC phone called the Aria!!!! Yay 2.8 inch screen with a 600 mhz processor!

I will not buy anything without a hard keyboard and will never believe that a phone without a keyboard could be better than a phone that has one.
Me and my, "homeboys" are porting the Samsung Galaxy S Pro to the G1!
Sometimes I like to express emotions with a pic borrowed from the internet.
Regarding the Droid X:
I don't think the EVO is too big, but it's pushing it. This thing is even bigger and the backwards chin would irritate the buhjezus out of me. That thing looks more like a multimedia device that includes a phone.
Of course I'm biased after several years of good service but I'm extremely pleased with Sprin't lineup lately. Not much to choose from but what they have is up there with the best of em, at least compared to what's available in the US

My guess is that the only reason they offer ANY android phones is because apple lets them in order to disguise their plans for world domination, and if they can get a few android people on board then they are at least a little closer to the iPhone and may one day opt for an iPhone when upgrade time rolls around.
AT&T offering android is like a consolation prize... it's more symbolic than anything.
will it have a front facing camera ?
I personally enjoy oversized screens, so I think the Droid X will be my next phone. I have a question, though -- will the phone have a decent modding community around it in the way that the EVO does? I realize that it's a difficult question to answer right now, but I'm very excited about getting a new phone (and rooting it).

No front-facing camera.
Also, let me take the opportunity to talk about video calling. If you use a cell phone in public and you don't care that other people are extremely annoyed at hearing you talk on your phone, get ready for my fist. Just regular calls around me annoy me, video calls are going to enrage me. Try not to be a douche and take your calls in private, please.

HAHAHA, too funny. I would really hope that people have enough sense to use vidoe calling when and where it's intended (ie. at home, in the office. NOT on the subway, in a restaurant, etc..)
Alas I am sure there will be plenty of people that just can't stand for other people to see them on a regular old voice call when they could be seeing them on a video call on their awesome new phone.
Please, please, please if you end up feeding someone a knuckle sandwich for being on a video call in public have a friend catch it on video for our viewing pleasure

You have to be a bit more objective than that.
I have come from an Incredible, EVO, TP2 and have seen the iphone4 pictures.
I think so far the X has better low light performance than everything aside form the iphone. You also want to make sure you have the phone set to 8MP as default it is at 6MP.
Try messing around with the ISO sensitivity, maybe on auto it is selecting too high of an ISO generating a lot of noise.
The device also does a much better job in macro shots as well than any of the other phones. We are not at point and shoot replacement category yet with any of the phones, namely because all the sensors are nothing more than small 10$ units. But they are light years better than a year ago.
I had the nexus one and the pictures that came from those were CRYSTAL clear! I loved them. Now these are all blurry and grainy. Im going to upload examples soon. As you can see none of them come out clear and all have a little grain in them

My DroidX has the exact same problem - black screen on all camera / video apps. I tried factory reset and all, but no use. I took it back to BestBuy and they said they'd replace it once they got their next shipment in (whenever that will be).
Here is a night shot I took with my X
I agree, the camera on this phone isn't all that great, I too get better shots with my N1.
I was aware of this before I bought the phone, seeing all the pictures & videos that've been posted over the past few days, but I decided to go for the phone anyway.
If a camera is a major requirement on your phone I'd get one of the Galaxy S phones, camera is amazing on that.

somehow i woke up this morning and gave it another shot(so to speak) and it worked. i did nothing to change it, just went to sleep. hope yours starts working too...
i bought it partially for the camera. i didn't buy it because it was the best camera on a phone but it is up there. for in door pictures of yourself, you aren't going to be able to tell if its auto focusing correctly. that is one of the issues with the phone is in door auto focusing. you might want to use a mirror to make sure it does it correctly. the camera button is used to focus then capture. you should see the in door quality on the evo, it is the worst lol. and of course the droid x rapes the nexus one on just about everything so finding one thing the nexus one is better at is no surprise.
the galaxy s phones are a good option but they don't have a flash, so who knows how well it will do depending on how dark it is.
6mp vs 8mp
Nevermind.
I just picked up a captivate, haven't even unboxed it yet.
I'm going to hang onto my N1, so if anyone wants to see any side by side comparisons, please ask away.
My Nexus is unlocked/rooted running CM6-RC1.
Let me know guys. This is the kind of thing I wanted to see before buying one, but no one had done it, so I just want to help others out in the name of science.

I would like to see a side by side comparison of the screens close up on the same picture. Engadget did this for the N1 and iPhone4 to show the difference in being able to see pixels on the screen. Just curious how good a super AMOLED screen looks up close compared to an AMOLED screen. Also, it would be nice to see the difference in the camera quality in pictures taken by the N1 vs. the Captivate.
A comparison would be great.
I'm too fed up with my Samsung Jack and couldnt wait for WP7 so I can compare it myself against Android (I really like having Outlook on my phone which is the main reason I didnt get an Android device till now).
I just ordered the Captivate. Been messing around with a friend's N1 running Froyo and its pretty damn good, so I guess i'd like to see how the two stack up, especially given that Captivate still runs 2.1 and ATT sucks at upgrading in a timely manner.
I would like too see a screen comparison, camera and build quaility. Thanks..
I would love to see some side by side shots etc. Especially the performance of the camera against the Nexus one's.
More importantly I would like to see the OP updated instead of having to scroll through the thread .
Thanks in advance!

I haven't done much with the Captivate today other than what I'm doing for this thread, so its hard to say.
A couple of things, the screen is awesome. I hate to say this, but it feels faster than my N1. Just has a snappier feel. Its killing the N1 on web page loading times.
Not having a trackball to wake the phone up is killing me. Not being able to sideload apk's without using adb is really getting old too. Of course I couldn't use Titanium backup to redo all my apps+data, so thats a *huge* set back.
Added photos....
Did you get the Tmobile version or the AT&T version? I like the Tmobile version better. AT&T likes to **** around with physical specs and styles.
Unfortunately I just bought my Nexus on contract with Tmobile, so no new phones for a while (which doesn't bother me).
Regardless I would like some side by side pics of thickness and screen size. Supposedly Froyo was going to be available in August to all of the Galaxy 2's. I don't know how the carriers are going to handle it but thats what I read.
Also I think while the Samsung looks brighter (semi-negative) I think it has better contrast with the colors. The Nexus 1 looks a tad washed out. Nothing major though. It could also be the auto light sensor as well.
Both phones are look great. I would probably be really on the fence about the N1 or Samsung if I was in the market and had neither. Lots of my friends are looking at Android and I am referring them to the Samsung just because of the new processor and high specs on the major carriers (AT&T mostly).
I think if the Galaxy is popular enough, we may see a large community fan base that is able to root and support custom roms and tweaks. Because I like to tinker it would be a hard decision right now to buy the Samsung until a few months when we learn more about the bootloader and ease of roms.
If the Samsung was able to be opened up like the Nexus, it would be a no brainer purchase. With limited knowledge about the Sammy right now I think I would wait to see how it shapes up or get the Nexus if you couldn't wait. Or buy both like the OP!
Update, just added a video to the top post, showing some speed tests. Sorry for the crappy quality, I have a decently old cam.
Also, just copied an Xvid avi file right to the phone, it plays great. I also got speeds around 6-8MB/second while copying, which trumps the N1's 2MB speed.
I can actually say I haven't been able to take 1 clear picture with flash. Is there something wrong with my phone? I have a fairly steady hand, I used to be a DSLR photographer and never had any problems. What gives to this? here are some examples, not even a moving object. These pictures are taken stabilized on my knee

R.I.P., Left Shift key.
As a rule, indoor pictures with the Evo are just poor quality. Outside, they're crystal clear, but even with the flash, when you're inside the camera is adjusting the exposure to the ambient light, which means grainy, blurry pics. There are some tweaks you can do to minimize this (white balance, exposure defaults, etc.) but in general it's just not that great.
Same with video: If you're inside, the camcorder drops down to, like, 8-10fps capture. Outside it does much better. It's all about the ambient lighting.
the lighting looks bad, and plus you gotta click in the pic to focus it and then hold down the shutter button untill you see your pic, thats the only way i can take pics
Look closely and see if your lens cover is cracked.

Why would that matter?
Check out this article, it is a good demonstration of how the lens (or in this case, lens cover) really has a very minimal effect - if any - on image quality.
The only fix is to buy the superior phone...

You're being sarcastic, right? Surely a troll would get 41 posts without being found out.
Are you using the netarchy kernel? I have had similar issues with photos using flash with fresh and the netarchy kernel. Switching back to stock fixed it for me.

So I'm a troll because I can identify a better phone when I see one?
If you were a good troll, you would be doing this on the iPhone site about an EVO. You might just make a few iP4 users' heads explode.
wow ip4 a better phone really go back to your hole in the wall oh wait no ur still stuck behind the walled garden

A better phone? No. Takes better pics and video, yes. Taking better pics / video doesn't make you a better phone. Making calls with reception makes a better pho... oh wait

Because mine is cracked and it true focusing on the crack, rather than the subject.

i cant beleive, or i missed, no one pointing this out.
you are friggin shaking in the picture dude.
no picture will look good when there is movement.
but i side with you, my camera compared to my wifes camera is garbage.
my wifes takes consistantly better video and stills than mine does.
mine will show the camera focusing and all it does is focus near then far, then stops, it never stops on the right focus point, you can see where it focuses right on past it.
if there was a hack to allow a slider for focus that would be kick ass.
after some time and practice it would be easy to use the slider for focus.
but my shots such ass, big time.
if i Zoom in it will focus much better than if it isnt.
so i am not sure where the focus point is compared to where you place your finger but it isnt where you place your finger thats for sure.
It sounds like a problem my phone seemed to have in the beginning; it would focus and then stop auto focus a little blurry. I don't know what fixed it, but after I had the phone a few weeks, the issue seemed to go away. Now I can take pretty clear and amazingly focused photos.
As for the iPhone troll, I ignored him as I was on a website viewing some flash content on my phone just after I got done with a video conference on 3G . I then made a phone call and held the phone with both hands without dropping the call.

Just wondering why you would post on the Evo forum only to say that the iPhone is better, especially when it's really subjective to say that. You must admit, that is rather troll-ish.

You do know that the camera tech is almost identical? Only thing that is changing the "quality" of the pictures/video is software + compression.
Another typical oblivious iPhone user...
My reason? I have finally stopped trying to find the perfect Android phone! I have had so many over the years and was constantly looking for the perfect one. Got a GSM Galaxy Nexus last month and fell in love...until I fell out of love with ICS. Seriously if the Nexus came with Gingerbread, it would be just another phone. The camera sucks, etc.
The Note literally has everything I want in a phone. I'm finding myself sitting here enjoying it without searching incessantly for a better phone. Feels kinda strange, actually.
My wallet thanks me and I'm a happy camper. Best phone ever.

Glad to hear it but you might want to take a look at this...http://9to5google.com/2011/12/28/sa...nctionality-device-set-to-unveil-at-mwc-2012/ and they say they have confirmed this. If the same "stuff" comes to the Note...well it will just be better

I really need to stop reading about new android devices. Makes me want to catch em all. But no worries, I love my note.. for now.
I had a try with the galaxy nexus here in the shops....i must say i was very dissapointed with it....the screen is not as vibrant plus ics is also not as good of an os as i was expecting....but maybe thats because i only played with it for about fifteen minutes..
I can honestly say, I wont be buying another device until Galaxy Note 3.
WOW! Those are some specs!
A phone with those specs will be hard to ignore! GNote is doing great for now! It really does do so many things well!
For now the Note is the best.
It has got its problems here and there.
I had problem when I transferred to many apps to Ext SD
and the phone keeps on rebooting. Can't seem to handle
the extra apps in Ext SD, don't why.
Still it is a great phone & mini Tab.
Best combination ever= GNote and Jailbroken iPhone 4.
The SIM is in my note for now, but some times I just needed that smaller form factor. Pop the SIM out of the adapter and back into my iPhone, head on out!

3d without the glasses is TERRIBLE for your eyes. You can cause serious damage if you look at it too long and if you can't do that, then why spend $700+ on it?
Ill stick with good old 2d.

Do you have a cite for this? I have never heard about it.
I tried 3D on the Evo at a store and I was quite impressed with both viewing and the camera. I expect the technology will only get better and I would be pleased if the GS3 has 3D. However I am not sure whether I would want to go back to the smaller size and lose the S-pen.
A Galaxy Note 2 with 3D, NFC and quad-core would be utterly amazing though.

Are you sure that's true? Haven't seen the news on any of the popular tech sites, the phone has a single camera but is supposed to shoot 3D?
Sorry to hear of your troubles ericshmerick.
I cannot understand why your unhappy with the camera, possibly a problem with the camera or phone itself?
As for myself I'm extremely pleased with the camera, video camera and it's results, BEST i've seen in a mobile...
Here are some samples I've taken myself with the Note, you can judge the photos yourself.
Unfortunately I've not had a chance to use the camera during the day just yet, will try and take some proper day time shots soon!

Lol, your right! However he still confused me because his title says: I wish I had never bought my Note...
Then a few lines down he says:
The Note literally has everything I want in a phone. I'm finding myself sitting here enjoying it without searching incessantly for a better phone.
Anyway here are a few more random snaps of junk in my office to show off the camera on the Note...
The snaps are nothing special, just random shots. I'm actually surprised that no one has opened a thread such as ''post your best shots. ''
Here are some random shots I just took at work:

Give me Windows on Note
I completely agree with you.
The Note has the best HW I ever has seen, except the placement of the on/off switch, which, however, is a minor disadvantage. But Android is terrible, synchronisation with Outlook is terrible, lot of apps are terrible and very badly designed or not intuitive to use. I like it as an eBook reader. The rest is a crap more or less, unusable for business.
I wished this device having Windows!!!
