Yeah, but it'll be upgraded to Froyo "soon"

Samsung has said Galaxy S 2 will come to US in August. Who knows if it is on schedule or if Verizon will drag feet again.
Leaked Verizon "roadmap" indicates a Samsung Stratosphere launching 9/8. Some think this is the Galaxy S 2, originally called Function.
According to leaks on BGR, it will launch in early September and be a monster.
dual core, great screen, latest GB build, thin, candybar style, ... and best of all... LTE.
I bought a Samsung Fascinate about 2 months ago. I guess I got played. -.-

Actually, if you read the details about that phone you'll see it runs on the 800Mhz band, so it is not for Verizon.

Even with galaxy s2 coming out, samsung already has a newer model called cellux (don't know the right spelling), which is LTE with 1.5 ghz dual core 4.3 inch s amoled. It is already confirmed in south korea
Sprint And Light Squared Partnered So Sprint Has LTE. So Those Galaxy S LTE Phones Could Be For Sprint.
So if my phone "breaks" in a few months (I have the insurance) does that mean big red might just upgrade me?

There's always a potential they might considering they're letting people get replacements with the Droid X2, Inc 2, and Charge. I'm hoping the SGSII is nothing more than an initial preview to the flagship devices that could potentially launch this fall / holiday season.
What's a few more months wait once it launches if you already have a Fascinate? Then again no working GPS is making me kind of antsy myself.
Rumor ramblings of the HTC Vigor and Nexus Prime make the SGSII quite forgettable already IMO.

I was thinking about that spread, too (Ion and Skyrocket HD).
I'm still on the fence. I really wanted the Ion, but I'm not even sure when that'll be available--not to mention the Sony interface has typically been kludgy. The screen resolution is nice and handling it at CES, it was very doable with one hand. The Skyrocket, also doable, but still not out.
I guess we'll see what happens at Mobile World Congress.

im also waiting to see about MWC. I get my work upgrade at the start of march so whatever gets announced I will hold off and see if ATT grabs any of them.
I used my old phone (wifes atrix) for just a few mins today and i have to say i would never go to a small phone again. My next phone will be the note 2

Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
I'm hoping to still get several more months, maybe a year, out of my Vibrant, so that's TBD right now. But if it died on me today I'd pick up a Galaxy Nexus since they're (relatively) cheap without a contract.
S III. Going to get an upgrade on October, so might as well, unless a better phone comes out during then (not planning to get an iPhone any time in the future.)

Same!
My 2 years are officially up in August. I'm hoping there will be some sort of leak for the next Nexus phone because I'm not blown away with the S3. :/
I think I could get another 6-8 months out of my phone but I'd rather upgrade to a phone that actually allows me to get 4G data and fully functional GPS.
Next iPhone
One x
Note 2
Or one of the next Nexus phones.
I'm waiting for the padfone myself.
Already have the GSM Nexus, but I switch off every other day with my Vibe. I just love the Vibe!

So far all indications point towards me getting a GS3
I got a GSM Nexus Prime.
So far, I love everything about it. Especially the lack of bugs (and abundance of features) in AOSP based roms and kernels!

I'm curious what it is about the Vibrant that you like over the Nexus that keeps you going back to it? Been looking at the Nexus, but still really satisfied with my Vibrant and don't want to invest in a phone that's not a significant upgrade.
Got a one s. I thought the lack of removable battery and no sd card slot would kill it, but I don't see it bothering me much. Galaxy s 3 would have been my choice but I heard its gonna be watered down anyway.
Sent from my HTC One S using Tapatalk 2
Sounds like most of you are going for either the Galaxy SIII or the Galaxy Nexus.
My only worry in this regard is the screens.
The screen is what draws you to the device and Super AMOLED HD screens (minus the plus) just don't do it for me.
But yeah my phone is just dying. So glad I didn't keep that Moto Cliq around though... THAT would be a nightmare.
___
So I guess you've decided it for me!
I'm going with Samsung again and getting a Galaxy SIII!
Snapdragon S4 processor is ok,
2GB RAM will put me in a haze,
Let's just hope battery life better than the Vibrant's graze.
Hello, I recently got a galaxy s3, and after rooting descovered that the bootloader was locked. I was origionally having trouble deciding between the gnex and s3. I was now wondering , is it worth trading in the s3 for the galaxy nexus that has known receotion issues ? Id love your imout , and if there is a thread already feel free to point me to that one and shut this one down , thanks!

I would keep the s3

I'm just very nourvous about the locked bootloader , granted the device has been out for only a day or two. Also what do you guys think about the hardware? The sgsIII does not seem to have that much greater specs as it is not dual core. And you have not had any terrible signal issues like I have seen online ?

Did you ever decide on what you want to do? I have a VZW Galaxy Nexus running a Jelly Bean ROM, 3 batteries total (2 standard, 1 extended), 3 battery covers (same as batteries), spare battery charger, and an Incipio Feather case. I still have the original box, too. The only thing missing is the headset. I misplaced it at some point.
well the time has come. ill be getting a new phone friday, can't make up my mind between s3 and the q, I like both but can't decide, so I figure open a thread get some opinions from my buddies on here.....I'm on the fence big, please drop a line or two with your opinion, links, whatever advice you might have to offer.....figure this might help others who can't decide as well....thanks
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
I plan on getting a new phone in about 2 weeks also and the Q is not even a thought. I don't really like Samsung but I'll be getting the S3.
I recommend you stay with the Photon and not get a new one. My reasons are selfish though, because I don't want you to leave us as a dev!
Honestly though, my girlfriend has the S3 and it's amazing. I don't like how fragile it feels in comparison to the Photon, but I watched her drop it on concrete yesterday and it surprised me. It landed in the top left corner and the screen didn't shatter. It just has a couple dings and scrapes on the sides.

IMO, get the S3:
1- As far as I know is the fastest phone out there
2- Samsung has added some nice software features
3- It's about to get official JB
4- The development community is growing up day by day
5- You will support Samsung in some way after the crappy outcome of the Samsung vs Apple trial D:
Thanks for all your work spleef..we've really enjoyed having you as one of our amazing devs!

the note 2 will face the same changes the sgs3 did, there is no current quad core chipsets that support LTE, the newest and greatest one to do so is the MSM8960 aka the qualcomm snapdragon S4 tahts inside the one x lineup, sgs3 lineup, and many many other phones this year
Come to the light.
S3 so far has been a great phone.

Samsung's radios are garbage. I had the Epic, have since given it to my ex-wife, and after a year, the single sucked, on all fronts. the cell signal sucked, the wifi signal sucked, and even the bluetooth was flakey. The Photon (and I got mine used, so it's probably a year old now) is 10 times better in those respects. The only thing the Sammy has that bests Moto is the Super AMOLED screen.
Upgrade is in two weeks, what is your suggestions? Anything now or is there anything in coming months to wait for? I want note II but I don't see it coming to Verizon.

Sorry to say this but wrong on three accounts. The galaxy part of the nexus name was Samsung's idea for their version of the phone. Google wanted to call the last one the nexus prime. LG was/did get the contract for the new nexus and this one is the 4th generation nexus which would make it the nexus 4. Sorry..... Rumors have it that the new nexus may not make it to Verizon because the LG version of the phone will be on the network. From what I have read the only difference is that the nexus variant will sport vanilla android. This may not be a problem though with the hardware being the same the roms should port right over. Personally, if I were you I would go nexus. They have by far the best update rate of all of the phone available.
