Yep, so that's why if this isn't coming [soon], I'll probably jump on the SGSII for now. Although... why didn't they come out with HD SAMOLED 5 months ago so it would be in SGSII!
[General Questions and Answers] AllGamer:
that would have totally destroyed the release of Galaxy Nexus ;)

probably the same reason why they hold off on releasing the HD version of SGS2 until last month in Korea

I like my SGS2 and my unlimited data. I will be sticking to my S2 for a year or 2 or even 3 if I don't think I need more vs $. I will be seeing it in the store and will see if LTE will show it's true speed or if I was right about it not being a big deal for phone only data vs H+.

I had a P4 3GZ PC for 4-5 years and then boom I7 was the bigest leap In PC tech I ever saw in my life. Now I am thinking SSD now or wait for a PCI-E SSD that I could buy.( Some of the fastest PCI-E SSD are about 1/3 the speed of DDR3 1600mz RAM.)

It wouldn't have destroyed it imo.

Honestly, you guys are way too quick to downplay it's specs while all missing the real point of owning a Nexus device. Nexus owners are going to be fully enjoying their phone's while most of the SGS2 crew will be constantly asking when they'll be getting ICS. Then when they eventually get it, guess what? The Nexus will probably already be on another version of updated software. The SGS2 simply cannot compete with this phone on that basis alone. No matter how much you guys want to swing it.

[General Questions and Answers] Blown 89:
I don't know what I'm going to do yet. I'm stuck with an unsupported Vibrant right now so the thought of having the Nexus line's support is nice but it appears the camera on the new Nexus is just as bad as the old one. Coupled with the lack of removable storage and mediocre processors and I went from wanting the new Nexus on launch day to holding off and weighing my options.

I assume the Galaxy SII HD from Korea won't work on T-mobile's faster HSPA+ bands. If it did I'd take my chances with Samsung's support history.

i sometimes wish my galaxy s2 had the screen resolution of the nexus prime. i love everything about my s2, and i don't mind the current screen resolution at all (i believe most apps are going to be optimised for the 800x480 resolution anyway), but... it looked so pin sharp, going by the closeups of the nexus...

[General Questions and Answers] vnvman:
Imho the Nexus will be a little disapponting for games, the PowerVR SGX540 seems to have not enough firepower for such a big high res screen, all in all it's the one powering the good old iPhone4. I wonder why Samsung didn't use the 543MP2 for it: they make both, but the 4s packs that one and their flagship device has a less powerful unit, this is just moronic imho.

Definite getting galaxy nexus! Gotta love the HD screen and the fact that it will get updated.

Anyway, I have a SGS so Im either getting SGS II or the GN. Im leaning on GN right now as it will be better supported, and SGS II is already 6 months old.

I dont play games much as music and camera use are most important. Camera features of the GN are better and 5MP is good enough for what I want. LAck of SD card slot is a problem, though. I have 6GB data plan that I dont really use, so I could look at more cloud options I guess.

Think I'm going to stick with my SGS2 for now:

Source

FlatpanelsHD: "And if you calculate the real pixel density you will find that the Galaxy Nexus is actually closer to a “real” ppi value of 200, which is slightly lower than on the Galaxy S II (that uses a Super AMOLED Plus with RGB pixel structure). Some claim that a PenTile panel needs around 420 ppi to qualify as a Retina display and that is probably also the reason why Retina is nowhere to be found on the specs sheets of neither Galaxy Note nor Galaxy Nexus. If you are keen on a Samsung smartphone you might even find that the screen in the Galaxy S II is better. But the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S still lead the pixel race. Some people say they never notice the PenTile pixel structure but it is just like a stain in a carpet; once you see it, it is hard to disregard."

CM is very fast and has extra features. But if it's the same as for the SGS, the camera, tv-out will be gimped.
[General Questions and Answers] chmcke01:
Still very confused

So, I am on AT&T because they have the best coverage in my area, well actually Verizon has about the same coverage, maybe a little better in some select spots, but it is more expensive because I only get the $15 data plan from AT&T and Verizons cheapest is twice that.

Anyway, I currently have an iPhone 4 and I am eligible for upgrade on December 5th. I really want to ditch Apple for something with more freedom, and most importantly, Flash (I need to watch Flash videos a lot for school). I started looking mid September and was dead set on the Galaxy S2. Then, around the time the iPhone 4S was announced I stumbled upon rumors of the "Nexus Prime" and was intrigued. I watched the announcement of the Galaxy Nexus live on Youtube and loved it.

I was torn though, I like the looks and screen size of the Galaxy Nexus better than the SGS2 but I am worried about the lack of Gorilla Glass and everything I am reading says the physical hardware of the Nexus is one or two steps down from the SGS2.

Yesterday it was announced that the SGS2 Skyrocket LTE would be released within the week and I was confused again. This has a bigger screen which I like, but from what I am told has an inferior processor and GPU to the ones used in the original SGS2.

I can only afford to get a new phone on upgrade, so whichever phone I choose I will have for about two years. I will mostly use it to surf the web, email, text, take pictures, and watch videos. I hope to keep whichever one I choose loaded with the next 10-20 episodes of whatever show I am watching (I pick a show and then watch it in its entirety from episode one until the finale, or until the most recent episode). I will also need to watch some Flash videos on Blackboard for school.

Considering all of this, which phone seems the best? Which of these three phones would you get if you were me?

[General Questions and Answers] chmcke01:
Really??

Everything I have seen says that the SGS2 and the SGS2 Skyrocket have the same resolution, just that the screen is slightly larger on the Skyrocket.

I can get the SGS2 for $150 at my local Walmart, so unless the Skyrocket has more going for it than the slightly larger screen and LTE (according to a recent conversation with an AT&T rep it will be late 2013 before we have LTE in my area) then I will save the money and go with the SGS2.

My first choice is still the Galaxy Nexus but to be an option for me it needs to be available subsidized through AT&T. If it isn't but it is available from Best Buy unsubsidized then I might buy an iPhone 4S and then sell it for as much as I could get out of it to pay for the Nexus. Chances are though, if that happens I will just go with the SGS2.

---------- Post added at 09:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:28 AM ----------

Someone told me that because the Skyrocket has LTE it will have a faster connection even when not in an LTE area. For example, they said that in a 3G or HSPA+ area and I could have the SGS2 in one hand and the Skyrocket in the other and the Skyrocket would be faster every time.

If this is true then I will consider it more but as of now it would be like paying an extra $100 for a slightly larger screen.

So, I have made up my mind that I WANT the Galaxy Nexus, and if I can't get that I want one of the SGS2 models. I just would like someone to tell me in what ways the Skyrocket is better than the original SGS2 because if it only has the benefits I have already listed then it isn't worth it to me and I will go with the original SGS2.

[Q] "unlocking" base bands on a LG optimus 3D phone or physically impossible?

Hi guys.

I've search for this all night and cannot find a proper answer:

I have a rogers LG-P925G (LG Optimus 3D) that I have unlocked but that doesn't support the 1700/2100 AWS base bands. Rogers won't support those bands but I am wondering if this is a criple at the baseband firmware level, or of the actual radio chips won't support it.

I've seen UI screenshots of optimus 3D in other forums that had the frequencies listed on the box and showed support for UMTS networks, but it was on a unbranded optimus 3D.

I can't find an app that will list the radio chipsets nor a straight answer on this. Anyone KNOWLEDGABLE can share some answers on this?

If the route is to use another firmware to gain access to the frequencies, I'm more than ready to hack it.
