Nexus prime?
Galaxy 2 (or Hercules)
Nokia mango phone
Iphone 5
Etc.
Just wanted to know what you guys plan on getting and your reasoning behind it.
I'd get the Galaxy2/hercules but I don't want it to be another throwaway by T-mobile >.>
Otherwise the HTC ruby and nexus prime look good!
Nexus from here on out for me. Hate how this phone is seemingly already dead when it's barely over a year old and can easily handle gingerbread and probably ice cream sandwich. Not gonna be screwed by carriers or manufacturers anymore.

Nexus Prime would be my first choice.
Second is Galaxy 2 Hercules
Third is HTC Ruby
No Nokia Mango
No iPhone 5
If the rumor is true about the HTC Ruby and Samsung Hercules getting a October 26 release date and the Samsung Nexus Prime coming out that same month, i'll definitely be getting the Nexus Prime. But the HTC Ruby does look nice, just love htc for good battery life and the notification light. Samsung on the other hand is better and everything else.
I am thinking of just keeping the vibrant for making calls and such and getting a 7" tablet.
I'll probably jump on the nexus, CM working with Sammy to make them more awesome that's going to be his baby its a no brainer!

Holding out for the next Nexus Device, but if ICS turns out to be a bust,
Nokia Mango phone. So I can have great interaction between Windows and my phone.
Couldn't give me an Apple product... We'll you could, and I would just resell it and laugh to myself, watching people buy overpriced electronics.

Cool story bro.
I am telling myself to hold out for the Nexus. The Hercules is tempting, but it seems the Nexus gets so much more attention that you can do so much more with it. The biggest problem with my vibrant is my boredom with it.

Yep. I grabbed a Nexus S 4G for my girlfriend a few months back. Definitely grabbing the next Nexus - whoever makes it.
Xiaomi Phone??? Possibly just for the hell of it, but for an upgrade I'd go with the next Nexus for support.

this is the canadian version but close to ours.
pretty cool , cant wait!!!
I'm be honest I like the back of the telus version better than the tmobile back. It's looks much more nicer seems to run blazing fast for qualcomm processor.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium
Have they actually given a tmobile release date? I watch all the different forums and havent seen one.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Allegedly, release date will be announced on Monday.
thanks hopefully its tuesday!!!
sweet!!!!!!!! SGH-T989
nice !!!!!!!!
oh man... they replaced the metal door for a high quality plastic door on the final production model
i was really looking forward to that shiny metal door as shown on the pre-release models.
it's nice to see the latest 2.3.5 GB loaded
although i'm undecided about the chrome band, it does looks really nice, but does it fades away?
Cool...But something about this phone says dont get it dam so many choices of new phones
The phone looks pretty fast. For the few seconds he actually clicked to get to about phone. To show the android version that's running. A lot of people saw the the benchmarks of the exynos processor and assume that the qualcomm processor is inferior for not scoring that high. I think most forgot that this phone also showed the benchmarks also which were identical to the Samsung Galaxy 2.
http://phandroid.com/2011/08/17/tel...ured-along-with-impressive-benchmark-results/ seems to me that processors are identical almost.

Manufacturers don't lack on updates to be precise carriers lack on updates. If certain carrier bloatware doesn't work on your device because an update. Your update will be delayed if everyone would get updates from strictly Google everyone would have updates. If samsung wants to push this as a galaxy 2 they probably already have updates in store for this device as well as the other variants. Touchwiz has gotten lighter than sense. It doesn't take over your whole phone like htc sense does. Let's not mention the facts that qualcomm processors have a tons of support due to past htc devices. The processor in the hercules is almost identical to the touchpad and sensation. Look how much development the touchpad has gotten. Look at the sensation development. Just because you have 15-20 devs on one phone doesn't always necessary mean the development is good. We could only have 1 dev but he could push of quality roms and kernels. ROMs won't vary much anyway mostly stock roms and cm7 kang roms and miui.

The only thing is the same is gpu maybe and processor. Exynos is a beast but it's not the only processor that is capable.

I'm going to do the same thing I do with all of my other phones...use it . As far as making reach its full potential, I'm waiting for a bad ass custom ROM to surface. Once the boards are riddled with new ROMs that really push this hardware, thats when my fun really begins. For now, I'm going to run stock for a couple months to give the development community some time to cook up some awesomeness.

What case are you planning on buying? My sister wants to put on a cell phone charm as well, but the only cases that have a cutout for the lanyard are Samsung cases that we've found so far.
Actually...I liked "Take over the world"
Buying more accessories for it than I need. Cables, cases, batteries, chargers, screen protectors, etc... till I figure out which ones I like best and use most often, then the rest will stay in a box as spares.

Apple are charging an extra 100 bucks to have a stupid mainstream Apple on the back of the device. Why would i by an iPhone 4 when i could spend my money and buy an Android device with a quadcore and still have Money left to go out and get pi ssed for the month.
Android all the way. And every iPhone user just has it because of the supposed status of the device. Well I say screw that ill keep my android devices any day of the week over a stupid iPhone that only has 12 months of support

there are always optimizations that can make thing a little better. most of the optimizations(like dalvik) on nexus phones would be propritary. plus the cpu is a more recent revision(among other things).

I agree. Android should be optimised for the Nexus range ONLY, like Apple do with iOS. Only then will it ever be a perfectly smooth experience.
If other companies wanna put out 15 Android phones a year, then they should do their own optimisations to ensure it runs properly.

They do do their own optimizations... they optimize their Android manufacturer skins (TouchWiz, HTC Sense, etc)
It may feel faster but that's only cos of the transitions HTC have added in, they have minimised many that are in stock android and sped up a few as well, thus overall giving the illusion that it runs faster :L
