Did anyone try out the vivid? I'm thinking of switching over. Despite the low benchmarks it seems like a good peice of hardware and designed very well too. I came from the inspire and always loved sense ui.

From what I've researched, the Vivid's cpu/gpu isn't near as fast as the GSII's Exynos and Mali 400MP. Our GSII is still far ahead of the game and it's hard for me to justify giving all of that up. I was liking the qHD display and other nice little features like LED notification, LTE, etc of the Vivid but I think my main problem is that I get bored way too fast...

If buying at Sprint retail, they will only allow 1 exchange (for a different device) you CAN exchange for the same device multiple times (with device issue). Best Buy, I have personally done 3 different devices within that 30 day time frame.
Just tell em "look, I'm gonna be stuck with this phone for the next 2 years...so wanna make sure I'm gonna be happy with it."

I guess coming from a Samsung Epic, my definition of "laggy home screens" is a little different. From my perspective, the Photon is incredibly quick in every instance, including scrolling between home screens.

You also need to keep in mind that somebody different has used that phone every few minutes and who knows what settings they may have changed. Widgets can also affect any phones' response, so you might want to strip those when you test. I don't have the slightest bit of lag on my phone using blur.
anyone looking to buy a photon. love it but just upgraded to a epic 4g touch. i figured some one here can take advantage of it. has box and otterbox case with holster. clean esn also. send me a message if intrested. it was rooted and unlocked. its back to stock but i can redo it all if wanted.

Working with, repairing and selling both phones I see it as a wash. If someone is looking for a "in your hand" media phone, I push the Epic. It has an attractive screen and media optimizations that the MoPho doesn't have. If someone is looking for "and the kitchen sink" phone, I push the MoPho. It's screen and media playback falls short of the Epic but has amazing expansion capabilities. Granted I avoid iPhones like the plague (sheeple products annoy me) but if the customer can barely understand their hero/moment then I point them towards an iPhone. If I didn't need the MoPho's feature set I would have gone with the Epic.
(Please note that the 3D abomination is not in the above paragraph. That's one POS I will not sell to anybody. Almost every 3D that comes in for service ends up getting replaced.)
I ended up going through 4 evo 3D's before switching to photon. That phone is a POS. HTC really let me down man and I got that sucker on launch day. After the Evo 3D I used a Nexus s for a month which was another plastic POS by Samsung (also garbage). Photon was my first moto android device and they won me over...for now. That said, I agree with the guy above me 100%.

Just random issues Samsung phones usually have. At home I can get a solid 9mb on 4G consistently and her ET maxes out at 4/5mb tops right next to mine. Signal isn't all that great in our home (same problem I had with the nexus s). Phone feels very cheap as compared to the photon or 3D. She likes it but then again she likes whatever phone you put in her hand. I'd say she's not the most tech savvy person out there so she wouldn't know what works etc. I know though...the small issues drive me nuts lol. Maybe I'm just spoiled by the excellent radio moto has in this thing now! Sammy's are known for weak radios just ask the original iPhone 4 owners

if having a phone that lags on its own OS, has a screen that looks like bees painted it with there asses, has very little dev support, no plans of getting ics ota update, and has a return rate of 45% (at my store)... I don't know how u would even think about calling this phone an upgrade over the galaxy s ii.
The only thing holding this phone off from being 100% crap is its radio, GSM card slot, and it being sold in stores (best buy, target, and Walmart) for only $50 to $100 bucks.

You mad bro? Lol
Motorola hasnt denied any of its latest phones only stated which ones are getting it first for sure. They made this very clear with an official statement. I believe this phone will see ICS q1 2012 same with the epic touch (which is a plastic PIECE OF **** with a nice screen). That's all Samsung phones have going is the screen. And dev support? Who says we don't have any? We have enough dev support; let me guess, you're one of those people who thinks a new rom is when someone takes a base, removes a few apps and adds a theme? (i.e the evo 4G/3D forums). This phone has webtop, kernel devs and a dedicated cm7 dev and others chip in. What else do you need?
Epic touch is a joke with a shiny screen, I can say that because I have one right next to me. Get real kid..

I got a free amaze two weeks but was having issues with the phone, luckily i was in the 14 days buyers remorse period so they tried to send me another Brand new Amaze but was out of stock. And I really wanted another one so they offer me a free upgrade to the One S. After using the One S for a few hours, I have to admit the Amaze was better in every way IMHO. From the placement of the on/off button, volume control, virtual keyboard, etc...... the amaze physical features was so well place that the One S just lacks. On the One S, the on/off button was hard to press, and EVERYTIME you try to press the button, you would hit the volume button. The One S is also longer witch makes typing on the virtual keyboard hard to use. And not to mention all the bugs that needs to be worked out. Im having so much issues with this phone, they are sending me out a brand new One S next week. If someone works at a Tmobile store in Central/South Jersery that is will to trade a brand new Amaze for a Brand new One S, send me a PM.

Not to mention the lack of a memory card slot. The 100-image (and absurdly swift) burst mode is amazing, but not worth the trade off in my humble opinion.
And then there's the fact that it only has a VGA FFC. Amaze suits my needs a lot better despite the One S's two advantages (burst mode, and in benchmarking the one S its clear that the processor runs the One S twice as strong as the amaze, but the amaze still performs marvelously to begin with imho)

My only question is if they'll have a CDMA version on Verizon. I switched to Verizon from ATT because of poor signal and lack of 3G in my area. T-Mobile is even worse. Verizon is by far the best carrier in my area. If they are only releasing a GSM version, I guess I'll be skipping this one.

And honestly don't see the big difference between this new nexus and the gnex a little better specs which isn't night and day difference and that's it , my honest opinion and this is my opinion the LG nexus is a joke and like I said that's my opinion .

No difference in specs? way better screen, twice the RAM, better camera, newer gen processor. Specs are a lot better. The kicker will be whether anyone will dev for it. Since it will be stock android, it should run great out of the box, without LG being able to jack it up.
Agreed with everything except wondering if devs will dev for it. Its a nexus so that's a guarantee.

Non-expandable storage is absolutely fatal. If it had 32gb fixed, I could deal with it, but 8gb and 16gb? Sod off. Nice specs, though. If it has a fixed battery that's also a major negative. Need to see more companies taking the maxx approach: make a thin phone, then use the space savings for a huge battery.
What are your thoughts now that we have an official announcement? For me, I wasn't planning on getting this Nexus anyway, and seeing no LTE makes me glad that I'm not in a position to get it this year.
I was heavily upset with hearing that it's currently only a GSM/HSPA+ device..... I am totally down for getting one, if they make a CDMA/LTE version but it's so not worth switching to Tmobile or AT&T... I still have unltd data on vzw
If it had options like 32 or 64 gb I could deal with the non removable battery and lack of lte if i was on tmobile or something.

They've had a few. The Spectrum has almost identical specs as the Rezound.
I can upgrade my note in a heartbeat ..the xperia z looks great
although should I wait for development to boom or jump ship? I'm running PA 2.7

if anything it is going to get worse...
I doubt we are even going to see official jb tbh. I have mine up for sale atm
My upgrade isn't until March 2014. May likely get the Galaxy Note 3 or the S5. Hopefully they have the 1080p resolution and the octa8 core processor. Also key lime pie. Then again other manufacturer's are starting to build better high end devices. Kind wanna see what they have in store for us in the future. For now the Galaxy Note is still an awesome device in my eyes.

Development will not boom with the Note 2 out and Note 3 coming soon.

The only reason I have so much faith in development is because when I gave away my captivate I regretted it because it has insane roms! The developers in this forum are solid too..
if they made a 4.5 to 4.7 inch 1080p phone that's fast as hell id jump ship
5inches is good..but for a year now rt I've realized I like the size of the gs3 or smaller way better

The gs3 is just a much better phone in general imo....
The i717 performs horribly in comparison.
I have both and the gs3 is my daily, the i717 tends to just sit in a box until someone will hopefully buy it. I put jellybean on it, played with it for a little bit but even still it was never as smooth or as battery friendly as the s3, not even on the same level.

I'm having a hell of a time selling mine for $300. I got an offer for $225 and might just take it to get rid of it

Honestly when I got mine almost a year ago for 50 bucks though AT&T I'd take that offer. The price just dropped on the note one also. But AT&T just offered to take $100 off the upgrade price of the note two so, I honestly might take it. Told them I'd get back with them about it... Can't make up my mind!!! Ugh =(

You've got to be kidding. Development is booming. We're kicking 4.2.2 when a lot devices don't have 4.1 yet.
And the best ROM going for the GNote, we're not even allowed to talk about.

Oooooooh snap, you talked about it! Shhhhh!!! I agree with your statement though. It just takes a small amount of time especially with this device. Well mine I know (i717) but people just want the new and to flash flash flash. I'd rather the ROMs be tested toughly than have it bricked or something.

The roms work perfectly smooth I it wasn't for the reboots..which I don't even understand on a software level how they can even be fixed?
our developers rock though

Well what ROM are you on Ray? I haven't had one reboot or crash since 10.1 was introduced. Just takes a lil extra work with the right apps to make everything like buttah Lol. PM me with your details and I'll suggest the best way and setup for you if you don't mind.

The latest ROMs are very smooth and stable. Don't really need the official 4.2 anymore.
