I'm kinda thinking I want an ICS phone with hard keys now, as you'll get more real estate usage out of the screen.
They shouldn't have skimped on the camera though, what is this like .05 megapixels? Jeez
gcubed said:its a wash. you get a 4.65" with soft keys or a 4.3" with hard keys

Yup all phones that got Android 2.3 are "ICS ready", well cept the Nexus One apparentlyLesiroth said:ICS-ready is nothing more than marketing crap, right?

The Albatross said:Must be. Like, you buy a house with an old roof and it's like, "this house is NEW ROOF ready." Or like how the original Xoom was LTE READY*
*10 months after release you can ship your Xoom away and we'll put LTE on it.

One would assume they plan to update most of their recent high end phones.Copernicus said:It probably just means they have actual plans to update it.
That isn't that small of a capacity. Yeah, Samsung is kinda goin all out but looking at most other phones that's actually pretty good.gcubed said:HTC who needs stinking battery life. 1620mah lol
For an lte phone its smallHusker86 said:That isn't that small of a capacity. Yeah, Samsung is kinda goin all out but looking at most other phones that's actually pretty good.
Lesiroth said:The Adreno 220 gets a lot of bad rap but I'd assume it's atleast better than the SGX 540, right?
Depends on the clock speed of the 540. It's similar to the 304 MHz SGX 540 which is in the OMAP 4430. The GN uses the OMAP 4460 which is clocked at 384 MHz.Lesiroth said:The Adreno 220 gets a lot of bad rap but I'd assume it's atleast better than the SGX 540, right?

Qwell said:So I'm still trying to decide between the standard AT&T Galaxy S2 and the Galaxy S2 Skyrocket. It looks like the Skyrocket is simply the T-Mobile Galaxy S2 that uses snapdragon instead of Exynos chip.
Which would be the faster smoother phone for standard operation and 3D gaming (even though I hear android 3d games are still a small library)? I do care about speed, but I also live on the west coast (portland, or) and I haven't seen any LTE rollout plans yet, so the LTE would be nice for future proofing, I would rather have a smoother faster UI and gaming performance. Plus I'm almost always near a wifi hotspot and would be using that like 80% of the time anyways.

Yah its a company phone so I'm stuck with AT&T, and even if LTE comes I can't imagine I'll even need 26+mbps down with a 2gb cap...gcubed said:they exynos is definitely faster. Will you notice much of a difference in day to day use? I dont know. The way ATT is moving with LTE you are looking at quite a while before it comes usable in more then 6 cities. Personally if i was going to stay on ATT i'd go with the exynos GS2
Still boggles my mind why they US carriers are so invested into LTE when their caps are completely draconian. Is it to get users to finish their caps faster so they can overcharge users even more?Qwell said:Yah its a company phone so I'm stuck with AT&T, and even if LTE comes I can't imagine I'll even need 26+mbps down with a 2gb cap...

I don't think they plan on rolling out as fast as Verizon but they have a much better base speed than Verizon.Cipherr said:ATT will have 15 markets by years end. I dunno. Turning the service on November 6th, and 15 major cities by years end aint half bad considering the time of year. I think its a little early to say AT&T wont rollout LTE at a good pace. People said the same thing about Verizon, then they rolled that shit fast as hell this year.
Well yeah, thats a part of it of course. Easier to manage with the bandwidth limiter in ICS though. Lately Ive become somewhat unimpressed with Sprint. Im looking to jump to AT&T tbh, can snag one of my parents accounts for unlimited data. Should AT&T deliver a Galaxy Nexus with an LTE radio in it alongside an HSPA+ radio (like they have in the Galaxy S2 Skyrocket) Im just going to jump ship.

UGGGGH.
My wife got an atrix and I think blur is miles better than sense.cartoon_soldier said:Agreed.
I know how much people hate Blur, after owning an Atrix, my good friend got an HTC phone on AT&T and Sense was worse than Blur.
sense is awesome.. so awesome that google jacked it and turned it into ICScartoon_soldier said:Agreed.

The only other decent Facebook app I know of is FriendCaster but I don't really know how well it compares to the official one.jokkir said:Since the official Facebook app isn't that great, are there ANY good Facebook apps right now?
