Research on all the phone plans first. I think T-Mobile also has cheap Androids to match cheap data plans.
T-Mobile is on the verge of transitioning from the Vibrant to the Vibrant 4G (which appears to be using Froyo or Gingerbread), making the updates moot. But it may require a matching data plan which I don't suppose might be cheap. But it is HSPA+ and it is fast.
I think you missed the G2 for free limited offer for a time window, which ended on January 20. I'm not sure. If you choose T-Mobile for a carrier, you do have other good Androids for your alternative, like the G2 and the MyTouch 4G. Are you that set for a Samsung?
I liked the galaxy phones because they had a 1ghz processor + hd video. They apparently had the fastest processor + gpu and even beat the htc evo 4g.
I just wanted a new phone that'd last 2 years for a contract and I was concerned about CPU speed because the faster, and being android, i could simply customize it and it'd easily last 2 years, you know? But maybe I'm just thinking the wrong way. I just wanted a durable phone that would last me two years. I hate early termination fee's and coming from sprint I finally get to have a real phone.
I just don't know what to do now. I figured samsung was the way to go since the captivate + vibrant + the other galaxy phones are so high rated.... Maybe it's just hype?
I'm so undecided. I've chosen not to go with verizon because it's too expensive. T-mobile I used to have a black berry and great service from them in 2008 but decided to get rid of a cell phone. Now I tried att and had a goPhone which litterally failed me. I sent texts that my recipients never received. So I figured maybe it was the phone? I couldn't trust it either so I completely left att, and went to sprint.
Now my 2 year contract with sprint is over and I've been dying to have a android phone ever since last month. Finally a phone I can actually do things with instead of being so limited.
Then I heard about the galaxy phones having the fastest cpu and whatnot. That's when I decided to call it there. I wanted a touch screen not a pull out like the G2 had. I dunno tho. I feel stupid wanting such a thing now, it's not even a big deal you know? I mean really... I have a computer. Typing on it right now.
When my senses finally come to my head, and I realize what I actually wanted, all I wanted was just a nice touch screen texting phone w/ swype that won't lag on me if I'm texting fast. A reasonable GPS so I can find my friends house at night when it's foggy. And a nice HD camcorder so I can record great times.
That's all I really wanted. I wanted to install a custom rom to get rid of any lag and fix the broken GPS or it's what I visualized. But now I don't know what to do. I don't want that new phone coming out to att, that'll have a dual core. That's not what I need lol. I don't plan on playing games or anything, just something fast that can handle the new roms for atleast 2 years till the contract ends.
Sorry for typing so much, just maybe thought you might have a better suggestion. Thanks.
