Not sure if you care about money, but buying off of amazon can save you some money on whatever you decide.

Thrill's battery blows. It's a good phone outside of that. The big selling point is the 3D. You can decide if you would use that or not.

The Samsung Galaxy S II is a pretty good phone, but it's $200 bucks. The Infuse isn't bad, people just complain that it's too big, especially if you put a case on it.

Don't waste your time on the Inspire. More shitty battery and the phone is just outdated.

I would say if you don't mind the money, go with the Galaxy S II. If you want to save a few bucks, Motorola just launched the Atrix 2. Bigger screen than the original, still dual-core processor, no MotoBlur...and it's only $99.

Buying at Best Buy will save money, too.

Yeah, that is where I got the Incredible when it launched.

Sherm...had any hands on time with the Razr yet? I am just curious since I am debating between it and the Prime.

Ya, I got to use it about a month ago, and then again a few weeks ago when we rolled out the training to the rest of the team. It's an amazing phone. There's some things I'm not happy with (no removable battery is the big one), but overall, it's great. I should get mine tomorrow morning, so I'll be able to test it and find out just how good the battery life is and how it will perform day-to-day.

The Prime looks great. I'm really interested to see though how that 4.6" screen works out. That seems really big, and I want to see the form factor in person to see if it really is too big or if it'll work for most people.

Well, it seems that typically Moto phones have good battery lives and the 4.6 is the main reason I am not positive on getting the Prime. I am honestly just fine with the 3.7 screen on my incredible.

The battery is supposed to be great (12.5 hours of talk time), but we'll see what that means in real life situations.


Sorry to jack the thread Zwick. The Atrix 2 is a really good phone. Don't go with the original Atrix. You'll regret it.

I'm not saying it's bad. Especially since the upgrade to Gingerbread. But the phone is about a year old now. Three years old by the end of the contract isn't a good deal, IMO.

True, I am just not real familiar with what ATT offers. To me, it looks like they have the worst selection of android devices out of the big 3.

That's because they've only been offering Android devices for about a year and a half now. They've been sucking the iPhone teat for years...and Apple didn't want any competition. There's a reason that AT&T started to pick up Android devices around the same time that Verizon picked up the iPhone. AT&T's selection isn't that great solely because manufacturers haven't had the time to produce them for AT&T like they have for Verizon and Sprint.

AT&T is supposedly getting a variant of the Moto RAZR and also the Samsung Nexus.

Would make sense. Both have announced GSM versions of the phone to be released overseas. It's pretty easy to tweak that for AT&T.

But there's no telling when they would actually get it. I can pretty much guarantee it won't be during the 4th quarter this year. Maybe some time next year...but we'll have to wait and see.

But the iPhone is the best phone in the world. You're making a huge mistake. It has Siri, and that facetime bullshit nobody uses anymore.

Bought the Samsung Galaxy S II. As of right now, I don't see it being much better than my 3GS. Neither was the 4S though.
