With the introduction of the Motorola Droid next week, our G1 is about to lose its status as the flagship android device. As much as it pains me to admit it, the Droid has us beat in every way I can imagine. With the drama surrounding development these days, and the semi-stalled development of Hero and Blur (though our devs are still awesome and plugging away) drivers for Bluetooth, Wifi, and GPS across various ROMs. What do you think? Are we about to migrate to a new device as the standard? How long will we last here?
My only issue is.. i HATE verizon.. and i like t-mobile..
So that leaves me out for this phone....
WRONG.. GUESS AGAIN

This phone will most likely steal the Dream's thunder... but development on the dream is so far in that
as far as modding, devving, and customization goes... it will take the droid quite a bit of time to catch up with the dream

I'd like to think that people will unite around Android 2.0, and UIs like Hero and Motoblur will be relegated to widgets that can run on any framework. That would be great for the G1.

Im right next to ya on that one. Hero has insane widgets, and motoblur.. well i haven't even tried it because it doesn't even seem enticing to me. If android 2.0 finds a way to collaborate all these feature... it would be.. The ultimate android build
All that said, if that GSM Droid has a 1700 Mhz band... I'll be all over it.

T-Mobile's 3G band.
you just taught me something new!
as long as there are still dumps being released, i dont think that people will ever stop developing for the g1. look at the other forums on here for old ass winmo phones. they are still developing for those phones, and some of them are at LEAST 5 years old. g1 is still only a baby.
gonna have to look at gettin an unlocked version , who knows when rogers will get the droid , and how many features they will lock , and how much of a premium they will charge

Bad news, no 1700 Mhz band. No 3G Droid for T-Mobile.
On the somewhat brighter side, The behold 2 has a confirmed Tegra chip in it. THAT will be nice. But no qwerty.
I think there will be a big push for phones with bigger screens and faster specs which will leave the G1 in the dust. The difference with most of those other WinMo phones is that they were the best of the best for their generation, the G1 was the first and will quickly be replaced.
The G1 will always get ports and stuff, but look at the Hero ports to the G1, its VERY close in specs and still runs like crap compared to stock OS. True it will get better with new advances but it will always be playing catchup.
I would like to know one thing.... What devs are moving on to the evo? I can't, mostly due to the fact that I'm a broke-ass son of a *****, and I'm afraid we won't have any good devs left. So.. If you're a dev, are you moving on to the EVO?
So far ive seen more than 6 devs leaving the hero. I guess i should start learning to make roms and themes pretty soon. Funny thing is as ive stated before, the EVO is not the android savior phone and it will have issues at launch. Hell they don't even know if they can root the the thing yet, look at all the trouble our devs are having even cracking the 2.1 release.

There's a reason why people are considering it a "savior" type phone... for Sprint especially. Sprint doesn't have any "powerful" or full spec'ed phones like the Nexus one (T-Mobile, GSM carriers), or the Droid (Version). The Moment and Hero are the only two Android phones Sprint has, but they're not fully comparable to the Nexus one or Droid. Adding the Evo to its line up finally gets Sprint in the "Big boy club", now we'll officially have one of the most powerful/full featured/sought after phones in market.
This phone is a savior, not only for Sprint; but for Android all together. Look at all the hype it's getting and for good reason. ****, I don't care what Android phone gets the hype, as long as it takes it away from the ****ting/proprietary Apple products.
P.s. I bet you the Evo is rooted before it's official release; Modaco has rooted a couple of phones already this way. I wouldn't be surprised, especially with a phone like the Evo.

like EVERY phone i get i know a update is AROUND the corner just like PC parts buy 1 part with in a few weeks/months its dates /shrug .
sad fact the hero -moment will be pushed to the side like most other phones
fact is deal with it and move on or hold on to a dated phone

The EVO will be rooted, and it will be rooted before June is over. Stop posting it can't be rooted, that's false.
2.1 release isn't being handled like the original Hero release was or how the EVO release will be handled. We already have root status and 2.1 roms, so quite naturally the work on rooting the officially 2.1 is going slow. If somehow we were all magically updated to official 2.1, there would be a lot more progress on the root status of official 2.1 instead of trying to tinker with the 2.2 froyo port.
As for it not being a savior phone? It's the pure specs of the phone that are attracting most of us. 1ghz cpu, 1gb rom, 512mb RAM, not too mention many of it's features... so I fail to see how this is not a better Android/SenseUI capable phone?
Just wanted to point something out... if you click on the numbers in the poll it will tell you who voted and for yes or no.

Sad part is... Somebody go buy it!! And I'm going to be so jealous because that is an EASY $700 bucks..
I can see him being on a carrier other than Sprint... so he can't use the Evo as a phone.
I was going to pay full price to get the Evo since my upgrade isn't til October but I changed my mind and just going to wait. Good chance another phone will be out around that time that's just as good as the Evo if not better.

I think if sprint were smart (which appears to not be the case most of the time) then they would have launched the Nexus One AND the EVO. But I guess only having one will force them to give half way decent support to someone instead of crap support to everyone.
I qualify for an upgrade next week. I'm stoked. Android has gotten better release after release--the hardware has become rate limiting, I'm ready for a new phone.
What do I get next?
My impressions are that the Samsung Epic is technically a better phone than the Evo 4G but that because it so new that there's much less software development for it at the moment. I enjoy CM6 and have been flashing the nightlies every few days. With Epic, I'd be stuck with 2.1. Will the Epic catch up in development?

I used both the Evo and the Epic and the Evo is a superior phone. Heres why, the community for the evo is way bigger and it has the best devs... guys like Cyanogen, Sterickson and other are evo users and activaley particapate in the forums there. The phone is fast and performs better on every test I've done on both. There is way more development for the Evo. Its 50$ cheaper. Froyo Sense, and a ton of custom mods, all the great devs and theme from here are now in the Evo forums.
I almost got the Epic I like Samsung phones but I was more partial to the verizon epic as I don;t need to physical qwerty. Best way to see what you want is go down to best buy and use them download some apps play around thats what I did and ended up with the Evo, only thing I miss is the track ball but got use to not having it very quickly.
If you liked the Hero then you'll love the Evo.
When im able to upgrade, 12/12/10, im going to get an epic 4G! I did a lot of resarch on it and it seems like a great phone.

I'll go to Best Buy to check them out. Thanks for confirming what I am thinking. I will likely get the Evo. Both seem to be great phones. If I were less addicted to the pace of development, I could be happy with the Epic. They are still waiting for Froyo...
If you have small hands, get the Epic because it's smaller than the Evo.
They are both 4G, but a plus on the Epic is that it has a physical keyboard, so you might want to try that out.
It's your descison, so you should make sure you get the one you want
Sent from my HTC hero running froyo!
Are you abandoning the Hero? within a month ill bet we have a working Froyo running on it, with Sense!
I'd at least wait until the Christmas phones come out and see if anything with that sweet 1.5ghz processor is coming out yet. I felt like an idiot when I upgraded to a Hero 3 months before the EVO came out...if I had just been a little more patient I'd have a much better phone. Then again, that would also have meant 3 more months of broken sliders and ****ty Samsung construction, so I guess it's a fair trade. With Sprint Premium you get up grades every 12 months so it doesn't really matter anymore...just pay your bill on time
Also, see the HTC Knight on XDA's main page. Looks like it's coming out for Sprint and should be an awesome deal. When buying technology that moves this fast it's always better to do some research and wait for a release rather than just buy the best thing out there for "right now."
Im waiting till next christmas in 2011 and see whts out then.
I'm actually due for an upgrade tomorrow but I will be waiting for the HTC Knight / Speedy which has a release date in the beginning of January. I do not want a 4G phone as I am in the middle of nowhere and will be prolly be the last to get 4G coverage. That's as long as I can wait unless I hear something about nvidia's tegra2 chip then I guess ill have to wait for that.

Speeding up Android
If you free up some memory your vogue will be faster. I suggest uninstalling all the apps you don't use / can do without. You can also try the Fat Free build of android. I hear that it is faster.

My phone is pretty snappy and stable considering it's a bit long in the tooth. I recommend the latest .32 kernel, Scooter's CM rls4c, and a mild overclock to 490 mhz. I don't keep a bunch of crapware apps and widgets on my phone and I recently trimmed down to three desktop screens.
It is my sincere hope that my carrier offers me a decent plan when I do bite the bullet and upgrade to a new android device. It's going to cost me an additional $20-30/mo to get a plan comparable to what I currently have and I really wanted a decent device with a hardware keyboard. Either the Epic or the EVO Shift will be in my pocket next...

yea keyboards are nice but htc phones with keyboards always suffer from poor design flaws, like the touch pro and the high failure rate of that (i even had problems with mine before i sold it), the G2 and it basicly falling open when turned upside down, i love htc to death but i dont trust anything they have with a keyboard at all

Dive bombing in for a MUMP!! although this thread didn't need it
I have an upgrade available the 31st and I was hoping the galaxy nexus would be out by then but possibly not.. my sister got the Nexus S and the only problem I've seen with it is after a year or so of having it the battery life has probably cut in half if not more. My mom got the epic 4g touch and I didn't really like it. But no problems really that ive noticed. But I never got to mess around with rooting it/the programming side of it. I'm honestly thinking of going to iPhone because its not as fragmented as android. With android there's so many different phones, OS's, roms, etc. Then again that's what I love about it.. gaaaah the choices!! Either way good luck with whatever you choose

I feel your guys' pain about the lack of options for HTC phones on Sprint. I ended up getting a HTC Amaze which is what the next EVO phone should have been but it never made it to Sprint. I was not impressed by gimmicky EVO 3D. The HTC Rezound is similar to the Amaze but again it's on Verizon.
Still kicking around the idea....I do like the 3vo, but the 3D is just too gimmicky for me...I think the Photon is out even though motorola is always a solid phone.
I would go for the Evo Design, but the processor lacks a dual core .....I really think I am leaning towards the SGSII...despite what people say about the plasticy feel, it is slim, it is light, the screen is huge and colorful--(and the blacks are black, not washed out), and from what I have seen for comparisons even though it has the "same" speed processor as the 3vo, it is just a touch faster. The price is just double what the others are....GRRR.
Now I have to pound it into my wifes head, because I think shes gonna get me a phone for my Bday....
I can overclock mine at 1.5ghz and it's just as fast if not faster than stock SGS2... just my 2 cents.

Click to expand...

And we genuinely appreciate your pennies.
BUT, if the SGS2 is OC'd and it is faster to begin with, imagine what it can do at 1.5ghz... I think the only thing I am not really diggin about the SGS2 is resolution..even though it is crisp and clear, the icons are bigger...
Who knows we will see what happens hell they might be sold out when it is time...I heard they are doing phones for new lines for a penny right now....makes me wanna walk away from them just to come back and get a discount....lol
That's when the shooter has another plus. It's resolution is higher which is why the icons are smaller but it also means better picture quality obviously with any higher resolution. I watch Top Gear on the netflix app and its perfect. Any game I've played works perfect and looks great due to the resolution.
On the processing front, honestly there's no need to even OC unless you want to just show off. but none of us end users need that much power to run what apps we like. Id be more inclined to want a higher processor if you could build from source on it. But most of us want better battery life. Which in turn you have to sacrifice some performance.
I love the SGS2. However they I believe still nerd to use odin to flash stuff. Odins been known to brick quite a few devices if not done properly. This weighed in my decision also along with I'm familiar with HTC. From a developing standpoint I was drawn because I know it already.
The 3D may be gimmicky... But it sure is fun Im excited to take more pictures now because of it. I can't wait for summer and snap shots of parades and ball games etc... Sure the SGS2 has an 8mp compared to the shooters 2 - 5mp which our Heros have a 5mp camera, but because of the resolution they turn out great. Won't be able to take advantage of that 8mp camera unless you remove the pictures and view them properly on a computer...
Now with all that being said I still want to buy an SGS2 outright because I just do. I mean its a great phone. But all that I mentioned pushed me towards the shooter for an everyday developing phone which is what the Hero was for me.
That's my .25 cents this time
I hope this helped boggle your mind a little more. Not saying you have to lean towards anything. It's your choice and all the phones out there are great. It's a matter of preference. Just stay away from the I-crap. I give Apple one little credit for implementing Unix in a way to a phone platform. But that's all ill give them.

Will never buy an apple-- just picked up a new SGS2 for $0.01 on Amazon though....

Go with what your budget can handle. Now that there is a possible fix for the 1. 5 hboot for the 3D, I'm encouraging my family to move towards it. Plus that phone has massive potential.
