I have an X2 that I have modded who knows how many times. Aside from the annoying locked boot loader I have really liked the X2. However I now have the opportunity to get a Galaxy Nexus for only $50 ($100 - company $50 discount). I only hesitate because I think the X2 is about a big a phone as I want & the Nexus is a bit bigger (length x width). I know its a much better phone, but once i start where will it stop? A 7in. Tab in my pocket & a Bluetooth headset? I'd like to have a phone the same size as an X2 , 4.3" (maybe bigger screen as long as the phone itself isn't bigger(width x height x thickness)with perhaps higher resolution,720x1280?, of course a faster CPU & RAM would be nice too. The 32mb on the Nexus has plenty of space. The rezound was a good size, but too thick. So what do you all think?$50 for a better but not really desired since its a bigger phone or wait untill something the size of the X2 with much better specs & not Motorola comes along?

if you want a good dev community, GET A GNEX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the dx2 is good but the gnex is super sweet. the rezound is also a good choice (what i have) one of our devs cracked the RIL so we will have a full AOSP rom soon
Uh yeah.. For $50 I wouldn't be thinking twice about asking. It doesn't sound like you will have to give up the dx2, so you would still be able to go back to it if you wanted to.

Even tho the nexus is larger, it feels smaller to me
Thinner
Lighter
fits well in the hand.
Go to a vzw store or find someone who has it and hold it for a bit.
Then also think about what it would be like to have 4.04 at the very least and you could load 4.1.1 if you want and enjoy buttery goodness and also, the screen, my god is the screen beautiful...so much clearer than x2. Amoled FTMFW

I wish they'd make bigger phones again. Make the X2 TWICE the thickness and give me a freakin battery that lasts a couple days, now THAT would be freakin awesome! to actually have a phone with sharp edges you can actually hold on to! I hate how all these phones feel the need to be stupid skinny.
I miss my big-ass analog phone that I could actually hold against my ear with my shoulder, and the ONLY thing it could do was send and receive phone calls... but it did that with MUCH better audio quality... so what if it was eight POUNDS, I could hammer freakin nails in with it and not break it. I thought the gnex was an awesome idea until I felt one in my hand. it just feels like cheap chinese garbage that will slide right out of my dry calloused hands every time I use it.
I want a phone that will break what I throw it at and not the other way around!
I'd def get the GNEX, support for the DX2 is such a small community.
For sure get the nexus! If you don't like it you can always switch back to your old phone with just a transfer of the numbers by your cell provider right? That way you can see which one you like best, play around with both ya know?

Hey all! Looks like I'm switching from sprint where I currently have an Epic 4G (rooted) I'm not sure if I should get an Atrix or the Samsung Infuse?
If I root the Atrix can I use the Amazon Marketplace?
Do you all recommend the Atrix. Or something else? It looks like I'm pretty much bound to at&t. I'm sure gonna miss the slider keyboard on my epic

after you get used to the touchscreen, more than likely you won't miss your keyboard. the atrix rocks. unlock your bootloader first. and read the instructions thoroughly before you do. we don't need another 'i brick my atrix' thread.
oh yeah. amazon marketplace. there's an app for that. seriously.

I would definitely recommend the Atrix over the Infuse. The Infuse may have a bigger display with better colors, but in terms of specs the Atrix is more future proof being a dual core device with 1gb of ram. Look at one in person before you buy it though and make sure you're ok with a pentile display.
If you install the Gingerbread OTA, you dont even need to root since AT&T changed their sideloading policy. You should still root the phone, though. And unlock the bootloader. The blur based roms arent that bad, and if you can live without a camera this phone just flies with CM7.
My old phone had a hardware keyboard and I miss it. Try swype, it comes with the stock firmware. Its not as good, but its still better than most virtual keyboards.
Get the ATRIX. My single core xperia doesn't even come close. I have pics of two ROMS of my ATRIX in my album/photos section of my profile. Give it a look.

Agreed, just picked one up coming from VZW with a heavily modded HTC Incredible running CM7. Night and day difference in terms of performance (including the network!). I haven't even had to mod this yet, the stock Gingerbread ROM is great and I even enjoy Motoblur.. my first Android without Launcher Pro! I've rooted it, thats all.. once the guys @ CM (love you by the way) get the ROM fully functioning I'll make the switch.

Coming from my DInc (which has an 8MP camera, a great one at that), the Atrix's is just as good if not sharper despite being lower resolution. Here is an un-edited pic I snapped yesterday in a parking lot of my car for kicks.

For some reason people associate mega pixels with image quality. They're totally unrelated. MP's just let you crop more from the picture before it looks like pixelated garbage but it has nothing to do with sharpness, color, or anything else. Generally the more MP's you try to fit on the same CCD sensor the more horrible your pictures become due to the heat generated by the sensors being crammed so close and it's called picture noise

totaly true,just like lcd televisions there are 720p 40 inch tv,s put out a better picture then alot of 1080p 40 inch tv,s, so same story as the camera the bigger number doesnt neccesarily mean it will produce a better image
I think its currently the best phone in the market. My friend has been waiting for the bionic. but I love my Atrix since i bought it a few month ago. Camera/video camera quality is pretty good. I have recorded 720p and 1080p. quality is the same. 720 will do for now. I have had some complains about in-call voice volume that people cant hear me well but that happens once or twice a week. these are very small things to be worried about. I just cant wait for ATT to upgrade their HSPA so we can get full 4G.
It says that same with original razr just come with longer battery life.
This is just absolutely sucking way of making your customers feel so stupid that I thought the razr in my hand is inferior model
Com'on, seriously? ?? Why android users have to feel stupid 2 months after they purchased their phone???
Why apple users feel great and thinks that they bought a great phone that will at least last for a year in terms of price?
Rants won't help and I am a big android believer
And manufactures can you switch your marketing plan to make your customers feels great and proud after their purchase, not feel like a dumb ass and cheated by boot loader bs? ??

Don't cry over a phone that isn't even out yet.
It's a new year, and guess what? New phones are coming out that will have new technology that is harder, better, faster, stronger... Get over it.
A phone that comes out in 2012 that is better than the Razr is also going to better than the iPhone. Marketing is meant to push the public to purchase. If it makes you feel bad you don't have as big of a smile as the actors in the commercials, flip to another station.
I love my Razr with a huge smile, and will keep loving it until I finally upgrade.
It's thicker...8.9mm vs 7.1mm. I like the RAZR for how thin it is and don't have a problem with battery life. No 720p HD screen or 13MP camera. No thanks.

Lol. That i felt when i had the vibrant...then 5 months later vibrant 4g. The reason i felt cheated at the time because of the gps fix. Front facing camera and hspa+ data. With the razr...i dont feel that resentment. I totally love this thing and now that i have countless data. It makes it all worth better. Hell the new xoom is coming out too. But i love my xoom still and think its much a better product than the xyboard.

I ended up going with the iPhone for this very reason.
I like my phone to keep its high Craigslist value for at least a year... but with Android your phone is old news after 2 months and price drops like crazy so you feel like an idiot for being an early adopter.
Of course you'll have those that try to convince themselves saying "I'm not mad. Nope. Nope. Nope.", but happiness is a relative thing for me. If they come out with a Droid Razr for $600 contract free and then next month they come out with an even better one that drops the resale value of mine by $200 a mere month later then I'm going to be pissed off
Only other phone I might consider would be the Nexus due to being guaranteed the top spot of its kind for a year...

I must admit that I am not a holy man. I have my small sinner thought that I wish my 299.99USD plus 2yr contract Razr can holds stable retail value as a 'status' and a kind of recognition to its own greatness. However,it won't be long before it is put in dust with other free phones,even after only a few month of its launch.
How about add more features to a phone,make it more well programmed and prepared and take a year to have a great new release??? Not to add a bit more battery power and call it a new release? Folks, use some common sense.
When you buy a car you know new car will drop 20% resale value the moment you turn ignition on but you still buy it, I got it. That is for the happiness of owning a new car.
But what if a fancy new car,dropping its value buy 20% every 2month ???

I'm pretty sure it doesn't That'll be the RAZR 2, available in February, with the RAZR 3 hot the heels in May
The RAZR MAXX is 8.9mm thick vs the RAZR's 7.1mm. The battery however is a whopping 3300mAH, vs the 1800 in the original RAZR.
For you LTE guys in the states, it's probably the phone they should have released first, for the GSM owners, I'm not sure there is much attraction - the MAXX is going to weigh a bit more than the RAZR and one of the attractions for me is how easily I can slip it into my jeans or jacket pocket without looking like I have a prosthetic implant!

Been reading a little adout the Rezound and am going to trade out my iPhone for one. Am I making a mistake? I'm an android junky and the story is to long as to why I have an iPhone so now that I can switch back is the Rezound the right choice.
Sent from my NookColor using xda premium
I love the rezound it is an awesome phone. If you like androids you will love it. My wife just switched to a rezound from an iphone 4 and she loves it. I upgraded from an evo 3d and it is a way better phone.
I've been with android since the very beginning with the G1 and the REZOUND is without a doubt the best phone I have ever owned. Not only is it the most powerful phone currently on the market it but it has great battery life that can easily get me through a full day of medium usage. The phone is even better now that HTC has unlocked the bootloader and a ton of ROMS have been released by developers. Plus, an early ICS build has been released which could lead to a stable ICS release in the coming weeks so overall I couldn't be any happier with this phone!
Yes, best there is right now. I switched from android to the iphone and now "I'm back in the saddle again."
Thanks for the feed back. I'm still researching this phone but I am stoked about getting an Android phone again. I was a luanch customer on the EVO 4G and then switched to Verizon on the Thunderbolt. I got a fancey stereo for my car and of course it was iPhone ready so to get all the goodies my new stereo would do I switch to an IPhone. I have decided the iPhone is just not worth having for my car stereo so back to Android I go.
I have a Nook Color and a HP Touchpro (running android of course) so yea...Im and Android junky and a flashaholic!!!

don't hesitate if you don't have to, it's the best phone on VZW right now, imho
No, you're not making a mistake. Yes, the Rezound is the right choice!
The screen is gorgeous. There's a bit of an issue with color/tint in taking pics but the clarity and sharpness is amazing. Text is clear and crisp.
The dev section is going crazy since HTC unlocked it and now there's an ICS leak that people are working on.
Personally I like Sense a lot but there are ROMs without it available.
4g.
16gb internal and 16gb external removable sd card which can be upgraded to a 64gb card and confirmed working. That's an 80gb phone!
Wirefly currently has this phone at $99.99 for new contract or additional line.
I love it. If you like Android I'm sure you will too.
from the OG droid to a dx to the rezound it is by FAR the best phone I've owned. I've also had a chance to use/test drive a gnex and razr and i can honestly say that i don't have ONE bit of regret getting the rezound over those two. In after thought it was really a no brainer actually.

I asked this same question when I got rid of my DX2. I have never been happier with a phone ever. I love this thing more than I loved my OG Droid, and I nearly cried when I got rid of that. This phone is beyond amazing, and with all the new work on ICS that's coming up, you're jumping in at the perfect time.
another positive review
I too came from a x2, and was also an OG early adopter.
This phone kicks ass! The screen is unbelievable, the dev possibilities are endless, the beats makes a BIG difference on the audio! I was just getting into modding my x2...and once I (finally) learn my way around this one, the sky's the limit!
RUN , don't walk, to Verizon and sign on the dotted line! Lol
If price is an object, then yes, the Rezound is great for the price.
If price is not of concern, I don't see why you would not go with the Galaxy Nexus.
I don't think the Rezound is bad, but turning down consistent updating from Google, more after market customization and less difficulty rooting or doing any custom ROM, the galaxy nexus is Verizon's Best Phone, bar none.
That being said, go with what you like the best. Try them out, and go with what you like the most.

Because the galaxy nexus has the worst antenna issues I have ever experienced. Screen is pentile amoled that gives it a nasty blue tint. People have been reporting burn in on the screen. Need I go on?

It's a great phone with a few quirks:
Many are plagued with overheating issues, my first one was but my second works fine.
The design of the screen allows the LEDs to shine up from the bottom and annoys some but I don't notice it often unless I'm watching video in the dark. This can be solved by installing screen filter and turning off the LEDs.
Stock battery sucks if you're a heavy user and on stock ROM or kernel. Development is just getting going and it's getting better.
Color balance of camera is off, most of the time you need to keep it on incandescent to get accurate pictures.
All the above are quirks and you can get over however the main problem is the audio hissing/whining/feedback when headphones are plugged in. Ironic that a beats phone has music issues lol.
Speaking of beats its a gimmick and I find equalizer (the app) does a much better job for a variety of music.
Pros are the following:
Amazing screen and full HD videos on it look amazing. High ppi ftw! Plus it is a full rgb display and not pentile like the razr.
Sense integration, love it or hate it. I don't love it but I really like it and because the hardware is so good it isn't laggy at all and love the contact and widgets.
While not the thinnest phone it feels really great in the hand. Ergonomically speaking much nicer to hold and pocket than the razr for comparison.
ISC should be coming soon as rezound is part of first release update. I think sometime in February.
Lock screen shortcuts (because of sense 3.5) are really handy
Let me know if you have any other questions.

Stop the lies in here about the Nexus......the Rezound is a nice phone.....that's it. It is NOT a superior device. Its the same old phone HTC has been selling for years with a dual core and over packed PPI. The most bloated UI of any phone and I read a earlier post about the "most powerful handset on the market"..????....seriously? Where are these specs at? This is terribly misleading information that is OPINION. This is one of many DECENT phones on the market.

I like mine but to be honest I would wait a few weeks for the razr maxx to look at it the battery specs are nuts.

Looking to get away from HTC and the vivid and get a gs2 or maybe even a note or 4s. Would you guys recommend this over the skyrockets and why
I also see the dev here is crazy.
Also how is the headphone jack here. Any sudden movement with the vivid and it disconnects and it doesnt help I only use I for the gym and my workouts are weights based and fast paced
Thx

Depends if you think you need lte or not. The gs2 is superior to the skyrocket in everything but data speed

I have the i777 and my wife has the SR. When we're in NYC, her data speed is a ton faster than mine (because of LTE), so LTE in NYC works just fine. Honestly, through daily use, both phones are great. Many people around here will tell you to stick with the i777 but I'm not going to sway you one way or another. I have access to both devices and they're both really good. Although, I find the ICS roms on this device are more stable than the SR, IMO.

I can agree with this.
Friend of mine has the Skyrocket. We were in NYC yesterday for the auto show so he had those LTE speeds unleashed and they were pretty damn impressive. They were totally destroying my HSPA+ speeds. I've played around with his phone on other occasions and it really isn't that bad at all.
Both are really good phones.
Depends. Does Att have an LTE network up where you live? If so then yes, if not than the skyrocket is pointless and by the time they do have LTE live where you are there will be much better devices available.

As you already mentioned there is a ton of dev support for this device. I personally am very happy with my i777.
And about the headphones, why don't you try them out at the store...

I had a skyrocket, went to a iphone 4s, now on the S2 and my gf has a Vivid so I think I can help.
Skyrocket has a little larger screen and data was always faster for me even on just hspa+. One thing I noticed too is it could handle a website with a wall of animated gifs that my 4S and this S2 struggle with.
The S2 has better dev support but that's the only category it wins to me.
Iphone I loathe now. Not customizable compared to android and sometimes too simple. The smaller screen can be annoying too.
I know what you mean about the Vivid audio jack so annoying

The fact that I have LTE makes it not a major concern, its very spotty I mean yeah its faster then my fios but its spotty and you only get it here and there... I'm on 4g most the time anyways
The jack is my biggest concern honestly its so annoying, haha I have a feeling he won't swap with me if I don't get a iPhone he's pro ios and anti reg apple os lmao
What screen and battery do you like more out of them
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA
The resolution on the iphone is great but I prefer the colors of super amoled on the Samsung.
Skyrocket is always faster even on just 4g. Also no headphone jack issues on Samsung or apple
Iphone had the best battery life but still Samsung isn't bad either

I find the SR just a tad too big for confortable/secure one-handed use. For that reason I chose the i777. If that weren't a factor. I'd have gone with the SR.
OTOH I do know people who had the same concern about one-handed use, got the SR anyway, and now say they are used to it and glad with their choice.

the phone isn't actually as big as you think it is (for one-handed use). I've done it and its not bad but I have big hands. My wife has very small hands and she has a hard time using one hand, so it really depends on the user.
Go to an AT&T store and play with both of them, see which one you like. We cant tell you because obviously we would be biased... otherwise you would see us in the Skyrocket forum.
Thread closed.
i want all of your opinions on whether or not trade my iphone 4. unloackable for the galaxy NOTE.. can you tell me how long does the battery last on your phone and if it is worth to trade it
thanks
I used to carry both an iphone and an Android phone. After getting the note, I sold my iphone and use android full time.
the battery life is fine. if you are a heavy user, carry a spare battery.
I just switched from an iPhone 4 to the Note about 2 weeks ago. I have absolutely no regrets switching. I have always had an iPhone from the first one in 2007 up until 2 weeks ago and never saw myself switching because of how the build quality of apple and smoothness of iOS was. When I used a note for the first time it blew me away the progress that android has made over the years. While I still don't think the overall build quality of this phone is iPhone status everything else is better. As far as battery goes, unless you plan on trying to go multiple days without charging then it is a non issue. It gets through a day just fine. I will say the battery life does drop faster than my iPhones did but there's really no difference to me as the note gets me through the day with plenty to spare and I charge it every night anyway. Once you get a Note you'll wonder why you used such a small screen before.
I know the screen is really small on iphone .. I used the htc titan before .. N i am thinking of trading it . For a Note but im still in doubt .. Since i am with tmobile . The internet might be the same unless i put the hack to get 4G ..
Is the camera good on the note ?

the camera is brilliant.....great pics. i take pictures and can zoom in on the smallest details of that pic and see it clearly.
The battery life won't be quite as good add your iPhone, but it will still last you through a full day. I can pull about 16 hours total with 4 hours of screen time on a charge, but I try not to look at my phone for 25% of the day anyways. The screen will make you laugh at your iPhone. The iPhone has slightly higher pixel density, but once you go Super AMOLED HD, you won't go back. The SPen also brings more usefulness than you would think. Also, with Android, even without rooting and ROMing, you can still use rings of different kings of launchers, change how your icons look, use different keyboards, and perhaps the oldest argument, view flash content.
Don't get me wrong, I like the design of iPhones, minus the small screen, and their software does run smoothly, but after 3 Android phones there is no way I could go back. IPhones are just too limited for my tastes. With my 3g, I felt like I had a nice phone that could play some cool games. With my Note, I feel like I'm carrying with a tiny computer with limitless tools at my disposal. I also like when other people pick up my phone and have no clue how to use it, but it is still way more streamlined for my own personal use than an iPhone would be.
With Android you decide how you use your phone, not Apple.

I have ALWAYS blackballed Apple for the proprietary BS... I had to bend once when my wife brought home an ipod she found. I was pretty upset that I had to deflower my xpsl702x with itunes. I am ashamed of myself for allowing this to happen, but I would have been more ashamed of myself for not following my wifes requests.
Traded my iPhone 4 for a Note and I love it
I was a die hard apple zombie.. I once believed like all others that apple would cure world hunger. I traded my iphone 4 for a Motorola artrix then a international galaxy s2 then a skyrocket and now a galaxy note.. I CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW THE RAIN IS GONE..
you will love the note..

Short version - I don't regret the decision. You might depending on you love for iOS.

There are a lot of Note users that came from the iPhone. I havent seen any regrets so far. I too came from the iPhone 4 to the Original GS2 then skyrocket...then the Note. It just got better everytime. Some iPhone users are way too stubborn to switch but I rather have choices than to "accept" what they give me.
-Once you go NOTE, you'd say 4 inches a Joke
alright well I'm gonna trust you guys that the camera its really good quality thats what I'm more concern on.. cuz i am a picture fanatic...i wil b trading it for the note... if i don't like it how much are the notes selling for more less any idea ??

I like the camera on this phone more than the one on my old ip4. I can't speak for the 4s, but the note has a better camera than ip4.
You also have many more options inside the camera and quick options for uploading images to various apps from within the gallery.

do you experience any lag on the note??
ii will trade it but I'm afraid the size of the screen will b too much ...
has any of you tyried the 4g hack for tmobile also?
i chickened out on getting the note when i saw the size in person..im a iphone user 4 years and omg the iphone is so small i cant go back to it too small..youll get use to the size of the note..not really pocket friendly but depends on person to person..as for battery give it time to cycle and it will improve..but battery life depends on settings/use/rooted ect.. i love my note but sadly i have another pixel issuse so this one is going back to hopeful get another one with no pixel problems.. only thing i dont like is the camera speed capture its slow for me..battery could have been a 3000mah to give it a bit extra use..sometimes it lags depends how much ram your using and crash some apps could be bugs.. im stock GB..waiting for ICS real one..dont want to install root stuff right now
i switched from iphone to and i love my note will never go back to apple. my batt life is equal to my iphone so no complaints
Do it! If you don't like it I'll happly trade you an iphone 4 32gb unlocked with ssh saved for every firmware plus an otterbox case.
