Hello all, I'm just curious to know what virgin mobile phone are you going to get after your wildfire s?
Sent from my HTC_A510c using xda premium
As of now, probably the EVO V 4G.
im thinkin the same thing
Although, now the LG Optimus Elite is looking pretty nice, too. I like the 3.5" and the NFC...
Yes! I was looking at that one, looks nice for $150
Sent from my HTC_A510c using xda premium
It's cheaper (even cheaper than my WFS!!) It's a hard decision to make. I really want ICS, but the LG Optimus Elite has NFC. Although, I won't be upgrading until about October anyway 'cause I'm gonna get a Nook Color soon.
Its a hard choice, I might save up some more cash and then buy the one V, Nook colors are sweet, I have one on ICS

Sweet! That's the reason I'm getting one. I hear it's easier to root than a lot of similar devices and ICS is really nice.
I think the V is more attractive in most ways, especially 4G (which I don't get where I live, but there are some cities fairly close with it) and ICS are pretty cool.
Yes your right, the nookcolor is very easy to root and install new roms (So easy a cave man can do it ) Ive had my nookcolor for about 4 months and i like it!
Ya 4g would be nice, hopefully the one V goes to virgin mobile, all we know is the evo 3d and lg optimus elite

Yeah, I've heard rumors about the One V, but I don't know if it actually will happen. Especially after the EVO V 4G announcement.
ya im thinking they might not get it since VM got the lg optimus elite instead of the one v

And even the EVO V 4G. At least they got one phone with a V, right?
BTW, I've got the international GSM version of the One V (Primou) and love it. Nice upgrade from WFS.

I thought I seen you over in the one v section what do you like about it compared to the wildfire s?
Sent from my HTC_A510c using xda premium
I can't wait for the evo I'm happy we are getting 4g by next month when the phone comes out thank got my birth day is in June do I can get it plus its an evo 3d with ics so I'm super excited I just hope it will work with current evo 3d roms

Above all else, the screen. It's no One X screen, but light years beyond the WFS. It's beautiful.
ICS/Sense 4 is really slick. At this point I have no desire for CM9. It's that good.
At the moment I have 700mb free for apps. And I have several 10-50mb apps installed.
The GPS is unbelievable. It can find 8-9 satellites in my cement house where the WFS is blind.

That's my biggest hope. If the current ROMs don't work, it's not worth it. I fear that it will be a similar situation to the WFS though. The VM version will be slightly forgotten behind the Sprint version. While Sprint and VM are essentially the same, the leaked RUU has really boogered up some of the Sprint phones, which leads me to believe there is a big enough difference there, but maybe not.
Hopefully they'll all be shipped S-OFF, though!!
After this phone, I won't be continuing my service with VM. The reception and data speed already was ridiculous. But THEN we got the data cap. And THEN they decided if I wanted to upgrade my phone, I also had to forgo my 25$ a month bill.
So I get less for more? F**k virgin mobile. I have principles.

hopefully its not that hard to fix because this time its not a completely different phone (ours is smaller and has no Sim) and when I get the phone I'm gonna hang back a little and wait got other people to see what happens to their phones when they try new roms

I'm thinking of changing my g2 for a g2x or another 4G celphone
Depends, the main selling point of the G2 over any of Tmo's 4g phones is the Keyboard, (IMO). it happens to be, I may pick one up in a few months after it's been rooted and such. I wan't to see what the Dev community is going to be like on a phone like that.
I was going to do the same, but decided to wait for the Pyramid instead

good idea
G2x doesn't seem to bring anything new so I'm sticking with my g2. Next year whatever the best phone for tmo is, if its white then I will get it. Seeing a white nexus s is so amazing, it made me fall in love with white phones.

The G2x doesn't offer anything new?
It's dual core (first for T-Mobile and one of the first period)
8MP camera vs 5MP on G2
FFC (if you care about such things)
HDMI out (first for T-Mobile)
AT&T compatible radio (will get 3G or "4G" speeds post merger)
I can see the case for waiting for future phones but honestly the G2x is the most "new" phone on T-Mobile since the Nexus One.
Oh my mistake. I thought it was just a g2 with dual core.

G2x is no good. Htc much better than lg.

At least LG isn't starting to use signed bootloaders unlike HTC.
im getting a new metro pcs phone and i was looking into getting the htc wildfire s. however i know the rom on it is really slow and im wondering if there is actually a good rom( hopefully cm9 but cm7 will do).
i searched and most of the stuff is pretty old now.
thanks
I cannot stress this enough. DO NOT GET THIS PHONE. Not only is it an outdated p.o.s. you'd also have the cdma version which is almost ignored here as far ANY cm Rom. Get the one x as It's forum is a much more friendly place for cdma.
Sent from my HTC-PG762 using Tapatalk 2
Word of advice..........NEVER THINK OF BUYING 2 YEAR OLD PHONES!!! If i remember hard enough........The one V has a CDMA version(dont know it comes with metropcs though).....Else see phones like the LG optimus L series,The Desire C,The Desire VC.....BUT DONT BUY THE WILDFIRE S
FYI Tmobile bought MetroPCS so your actually buying the phone from Tmobile.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
i see. so you guys rather buy the one V from virgin huh? i guess im getting that cause it comes with 4.0 already
HTC's announcement for their newest phone is today (in a couple minutes, really). A video was posted as a preview, which you can watch here, but it isn't in English. It's a pretty good looking phone with some decent specs but overall I think HTC just makes some weird decisions. Calling this device the HTC One after they've already released HTC One X/S/V etc. Seems backwards to me.
Anybody possibly going to be moving to this phone after the Inc 2, or for those of you on newer phones like the DNA/Inc 4g will you be jumping ship this early? My upgrade is in July so I'll probably give it a shot but ultimately I think I will end up with the Galaxy S IV (a sure-fire for development down the road, and for straight spec-power) or potentially the rumored Motorola X.
Specs Quick Reference:
4.7" Full HD screen
Snapdragon 600 processor (Quad-Core)
2 GB of RAM, 32 GB of internal storage
2,300 mAh battery
4.1.2 Jelly Bean
My next phone will haveto have on screen keys. I was thinking the HTC One but now I'm just hoping the X-phone is real. I fear it'll probably have an amoled display though(not really a fan). I could get past it if everything else was in order.
Hi guys, I just found the HTC One section on xda
Its not linked on the portal yet
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2115
No way I would buy another HTC phone. Hoping the Motorola X is real. And that it won't be locked when it comes out. Weary of anything Verizon really. Coverage may force me to stay with them though.

I know that feel.
If Motorola X doesn't work out soon....I'll be on an iPhone
Until Google and Big Red get their sh*t together. Then I'll be back!
I'm just gonna wait till a phone with the Snapdragon 800 is announced. Until then, I think I'll wait. My GS3 is good enough at the moment and the Xperia Z is perfect.
I thought of putting something witty in my signature, but I was too lazy to do it from my GS3.
Umm... why do you have two phones?

Thanks for the obvious info Captain Obvious. Unless Verizon releases it on their network, the chances of the One ever being on Verizon is really slim. Although I'm pretty sure most of us already knew that anyways.

Where does it say that? Because as far as I know, only Sprint, T-Mobile, and AT&T are confirmed to carry the HTC One.

That's just speculation at the moment. Verizon might end up doing what they did when the HTC One X first came out. F*ck it up and give it a Droid name. *cough cough Droid Incredible 4G LTE.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
So here it is. Time to upgrade. Followed the Eris->Inc 1->Inc 2 path so obviously I seem to like HTC phones but the Galaxy S3 seems like a nice one too. Since I like the Inc's I'm stuck choosing between a Incredible 4G LTE and a Samsung Galaxy S3. Anyone have helpful info or opinions?
Darn shame we can't get the HTC One on Verizon....at least not officially afaik...

Wait for the GS4 to hit big red. I'm not gonna pick HTC anymore due to this phone not getting updated n the lies. Shoot November hits I might even switch to sprint

My upgrade is on the 17th & I'm getting the SGSIII. I think it's a solid phone & I don't think the SGS4 is not a big enough upgrade for me to consider. However, i'm more purchasing the SGSIII because of price. Just me though.

Hello.
I am thinking of getting a newer phone and am wanting to know what u think of the droid bionic, thunderbolt, rezound, or lg lucid, this are the best phones under 140$ that is why those ones lol. What do u think is better to spend the money on and use on page plus ? Thanks

You'd have to check on page plus. I'm not sure about that one. Spec wise the Rezound is the best phone on your list.

I would like to point out that our device is pretty darn special in the phone-world. It runs the latest software nearly flawlessly and has stood the test of time.
Take just a moment or two perhaps to consider what it takes to make this phone. Wars are fought to obtain the ore used in the display.
Discarded obsolete electronics is then shipped to Africa where environmental laws are lax.
According to a documentary on YouTube I saw i think from journeyman productions, children and adults alike scavenge the toxic garbage that gets piled in a giant heap right off the barge.
Having no other way to sustain themselves, they have no choice but search for copper and other valuable waste product.
Truly a pitiful existence certainly beyond any ordinary westerners comprehension, their only respite is dulling their hopelessness by sniffing hydrocarbons (mineral spirits, acetone, etc).
Just acknowledge these implications to yourself and ask, do i really need this to be happy? Is it worth it? Just because everyone else is doing it don't make it right.
One love.

I read about it. I don't have it sorry. Check out the RAZR forums for more info. I should rephrase and say I knew it got unlocked but I don't know if it got published. It probably did.
Also which RAZR variant? Is it the first one?
