My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
I'm hoping for the same thing. They have to have more in mind than just static buttons.

Bezel swipes ala Playbook would be a nice compromise. Sliding up into the very bottom of the screen could bring up the bar or a context sensitive radial. Just spit balling here.
would be perfect with an HD screen. Only 4" also, so its sane sized
Good in-ear headphones with microphone (in-ear headset) which works good with htc's phones?
Focus lies on the sound of the earplugs. Microphone should not be to low on the cable so that i have to hold it up while speaking. Don't care if it has only one button or three. Some said that the headset for Vita was rather good ? Don't care if there is a PS logo on it if they are good.

Just left the damn store and they weren't set up for preorders yet. He called his DM and was told that he wasn't aware of the preorder status and that it had begun >.>
Yea, I'm been yearning for something like that since I saw the quick controls on the HC browser.

Yeah I still prefer capactive buttons. That being said, I actually don't hold the phone by grabbing the front of the phone. (In landscape) I hold the back of the phone with my thumb or index finger at the top of the phone and my pinkie or ring finger at the bottom of the phone . Besides, you can always grab the top of the phone where there would be plenty of bezel.
Sony Xperia Ion (LTE) leaked to release on ATT in June. Go go nice design!

Processor aside (who'd think a year ago I'd say Snapdragon>tegra lol), it's still a great device. If there's one thing owning a G2 taught me though, is that a stock non-nexus device really doesn't matter in regards to updates. :/

So, the Droid Incredible 4G LTE specs... not that incredible...
and no kernel source for the AT&T One X? stay free HTC

besides a non HD screen... seems pretty "latest gen" standard to me. If they made it an HD screen in a 4" shell it would instantly become god-like because it would be one of the only options for people who don't want huge ass phones

smaller non HD screen with an underclocked processor. Probably a wash with the One X
Has a microSD slot. Removable battery?
meh, incredible has never been incredible. Its a solid choice for a phone, hopefully its priced at $99

i'd be alright with that, but... Verizon

Unless that S3 magically became an S4, there's no reason for Sony to even bother. Especially with the One X and GS2 out at that time.
Sprint completely misses the point that is the goodness of SIM cards: http://pocketnow.com/smartphone-news/with-embedded-sims-sprint-misses-the-point
That's why the Xperia GX is coming real soon: http://www.phonearena.com/news/Sony-LT29i-Hayabusa-leaks-again-its-curvaceous_id29867

And it seems they're exclusive to HTC phones
Pardon my ignorance, what's an exchange account?
Use Fancy Widgets, theres plenty of widgets that look like Sense.
Anybody using CM9 and custom ringtones? They changed some stuff around and now it doesnt work. My ringtones still show up in the list but theres no sound when I select them. The stock ones work though.
Man I remember when that Q4 data came out and it showed Android having that dip. It was the supposed beginning of the end of everything. A quarter later and you cannot even tell it happened.

The interesting part about that article is that it claims the smartphone market hasn't grown as a whole in the last quarter. Stalled by ipads maybe?
I wouldn't take NPD's numbers as gospel there. Those figures aren't derived from sales figures - rather they pull from surveys. Comscore's numbers are similar with around a 10% swing lower for Android.
iPhone sold over half of all smartphones on Verizon (51%), AT&T (78%) and Sprint (60%) in the last quarter. I really and truly doubt that Android made up that wide of a difference from regional carriers and T-Mobile.

NPD reports the smartphone sells corespond to real quarters; I think carriers financial report "Q1" reports are actually 2011 Q4 sells since that was the time 4S launched. Also NPD only track consumer sales, not corperate sales.
My favorite part of the NPD stat is that
WP7 has sold 2% of total smartphones, and WM6 and Symbian combined has sold 3%.

huh? you don't have yearly upgrades?..well HAD?
Evo 3D is still a better phone if you can get 4G. LTE isn't going to be widely available until next year. It's the ONLY reason I haven't swapped out my 3D.
I want to just swap it because the USB port is borked so it only charges. I will never be able to root it. I also don't want a refurb replacement. So I'm just waiting...I must stay away from the hype

I guess. It's a version of the X but has a kickstand and sd slot. I just can't get past the LTE thing. I really want to but you have to pay $10 extra a month for 4g and it's no 4g!

Just checked Best Buy's site and saw that you get a Wii U launch title $50 gift card if you get the Evo LTE with a 2-year plan. Not sure if it's been said, but throwing it out there just in case.
I am reading this correctly, right?

EVO 3D was a significant upgrade over the EVO 4G.
Really you are better off no renewing your contract. I don't think Sprint can last for 2 more years.
VVV I meant Sprint

Typo? Are you saying he can wait til next spring or that Sprint itself will be out of business?

I'm looking to get an Android phone, and I've narrowed it down to two choices (ATT carrier): Samsung Galaxy S2 or HTC Vivid. Anyone have any thoughts on these two (maybe something else that fits me better)?
I don't want a super high end phone, but I want something that's decent. Also, I plan on doing some mobile development. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I was wondering the same thing but on a higher level of android phone. What is the android gaf consensus was on the newer phones coming out? One X or SIII?
Is there a reason you would pick a mid to lower android phone over the OneX or SIII coming soon, ydnawel?
No way will Sprint simply go out of business. Their infrastructure is worth too much money. Someone would buy them, and based on the attempted T-Mobile acquisition, it's unlikely to be Verizon.
Personal preference, and because I don't use phones nearly as heavily as others do.
International or US? MicroSD or built-in memory? Pentile screen or LCD? Removable or non-removable battery?
It's hard to just recommend one outright without knowing which of those you prefer for the most part. I don't think you'll go wrong with either phone personally.

Is there one that just outperforms the other on a technical standpoint? I mean, theoretically I guess.
We haven't seen marks for the Exynos, so it's up in the air.
Probably that one though.

Unrelated, TMO will be doing a majority of spectrum changeover that will allow ATT compatible and international phones to work on their 4g network. I'm pretty much sold on the padfone now.
