THANKS DUDE :good: :)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Dkj7777:
I know I am
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slimslim:
I might get it, still have to take a look at skyrocket
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Hunt3r.j2:
IMO as soon as you overclock the Vivid the Skyrocket doesn't have much point...

Seems like the only reason you might want it is because it's light and thin compared to the Vivid, but the Vivid sounds like a solid phone and reviews so far seem to like the materials.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Phultara:
I might get it too, it looks good.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Zytryx:
I will most likely go for the Vivid, I've only owned iPhones and the Galaxy S (Captivate) always wanted to try an HTC, though the battery is larger in the skyrocket. Like was stated I'm sure it will be OCed to 1.5 or higher to match the skyrocket.

If the Skyrocket had better resolution, 480x800 is pretty low at 4.5" I'd go Skyrocket fore sure.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] yh823:
I'm at the at&t store now getting the HTC vivid
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] goonx:
i'm vouching for HTC, great phones. I owned a sensation and fell in love with it
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] JPeterson66:
I am not i think its weird looking

Taking my Infuse back today

I had the OG SGS2, traded it in for the Infuse, and am going today to trade that one in for the Vivid. I'm hoping this is my last stop! :) This will be the first HTC android phone that I buy, but based on the quality of my old WM HTC phones, I'm looking forward to getting this one!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] doktor buknasty:
Just picked up mine about 15 mins ago and its looking pretty sweet so far. Can't wait for it be rooted and some custom roms.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] yh823:
got mine 2 hours now its very good and fast. cant wait to get rooted and overclocked to see what this baby can really do.:D
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] andier:
Picked mine up a few minutes ago as well. Love it so far. HTC makes very high quality devices
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] AnyMal:
Has anyone picked up the white one? Curious how it looks in person.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Tech1208:
Just got mine.

Coming out of a Tilt 2. What a change.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] niezek:
I got mine a few hours ago its a great device the one thing I noticed so far is the volume level its pretty low compared to the gsII varients besides that it beats out the skyrocket.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] niezek:
When will there be a vivid forum?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] yh823:
i know there is a thread on here to vote for which phone u want a forum for so if anybody hasn't already search and vote. Also i did notice that it is quiet. But im getting better download speeds than with my rooted Inspire which was 3mbs down and 1.6 up now im getting 6mbs down and 1.6 up with my vivid and im not even in a LTE network
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] boardsportsrule:
Just picked mine up. I looked at the white one...not a fan. fun fun!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] saywhat4118:
I got mine as well and man oh ma is LTE fast! Can't post screenshot yet cause its not rooted but I'm consistently getting high 20 mbs down and 12 mbs up! I'm in Dallas and this speed is ridiculous. Hopefully I'll get decent amount of battery life with this phone. Gave my wife the galaxy s2 with cm7.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] malickie:
I am most likely gonna get one as well considering I keep getting Hardware issues with my Atrix 2 I just got. That and HTC is Quite a bit easier to root and s-off than Motorola as far as I remember. That and I also won't have to wait for unlocked bootloader which might take quite awhile. Only problem though is that I bought my Atrix 2 from Best Buy who for some odd reason are selling the HTC Vivid for 100 More than ATT is selling it at.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Dkj7777:
Looks awesome in white
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] qwertyaas:
How heavy is the phone?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] drewdatrip:
Over 6 oz but it feels solid and well crafted. I like the sgs2 for its lightness but the vivid feels more quality and less hallow feeling.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] combsrm77:
Apparently the White Vivid is only available in certain areas/zip codes. Any idea when White will be more widely available?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] orb3000:

Thread moved to Q&A due to it being a question. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.

Failure to comply with forum rules will result in an infraction and/or ban depending on severity of rule break.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] qwertyaas:
I ended up getting the SGSII for $99. The dev scene there was hard to pass up. That and I preferred the 4.3in instead of 4.5in.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] malickie:
Interesting so you went with a phone that Lacks LTE. Only two phones at the moment on ATT that have LTE it is this phone and the Galaxy something. Both of which are at Best Buy and if you tell them to price match they Will price match ATT considering ATT has the HTC Vivid for $99.99 and the other for $149.99 as opposed to Best Buy selling em at 199.99 and 250 for the other.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] envygreen:
Wife and I both just got home with our new Vivids. White didn't appeal to either of us, but it's not ugly. So far, have to say it feels very comfortable. Heavy enough to remember it's in my pocket, light enough that I don't care. Feels fast to use and to browse. Chicago LTE so far is excellent. Sitting inside with two bars, I got 12.5 down, 5.7 up. I'll have to test again later somewhere with a better signal.

Now, where's the root and where's the link to vote for our new forum!? :D
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lowandbehold:
I don't see how that is very interesting when there is like 6 cities that support AT&T LTE. Do you think maybe...just maybe, there is a good chance he doesn't live in 1 of those 6 cities??? That would be absurd.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] galfert:
I saw the HTC Vivid out at BestBuy today. They didn't have a display model but they opened one up and let me put the battery in it. I'm able to confirm looking through the Settings menu that unfortunately it definitely does not have NFC.

I didn't like the glossy plastic that shows fingerprints* (UPDATE doesn't really show fingerprints mutch...some smudging but really just barely it is nice actually). It feels like a quality phone surprisingly since it is made of plastic, but not as good as my HTC Inspire unibody metal construction.

I'll probably end up upgrading to it from my HTC Inspire because it is faster CPU and has more RAM and Storage. I'm not in an LTE market but hopefully that will change soon. I liked hearing reports from someone else that even though they were not in LTE that the phone was faster than their Inspire using just HSPA+. So I guess it has a faster flavor of HSPA+. I also like finally getting a front facing camera which I'll probably only use with my wife...it will be great to video conference and see my 1 year old and 2 year old while I'm away at work. At least both I and my wife are eligible for upgrades. I'm gong to wait to see what pricing Amazon and Costco get.

If this phone was a different material that was matte in color I would like it better, and if it had NFC it would have been THEE PERFECT PHONE. I know this phone will get ICS soon. Shame I'll have to upgrade again at full price when the next better HTC comes out. Why is it that the perfect phone never does exist? With the Inspire it was the front facing camera that was missing. Now I get the FFC but now I want NFC that other phones seem to have just not this one. And HTC does have NFC out on T-Mobile with the Amaze 4G.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jrdalrymple:
HTC blew it

I'm glad I lifted the handset before dropping coin. As soon as I felt the screen I was done. Set the handset back down and walked out of the store. (that's a bit of an exaggeration, I did want to see the photo quality so I took a quick picture and reviewed it) How can I get excited about HTC putting such a nice qHD (finally) display behind a piece of crappy plastic that is going to scratch if you look at it wrong?

FWIW, if you plan on storing it in a velvet case and you powder your ear before answering phone calls, the device does look *just right*. For me the handset is a tool though and I'm not gentle with tools, I just use them to do things.

I'm on about an 8 month new handset cycle, last purchase being in May. Looks like the Inspire is going to have to last a little bit longer than most. Maybe I'll even have to jump ship on HTC, who knows. They messed up.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] niezek:
I'm getting faster speeds as well. I got like 7 down and 2 up I'm impressed I'm not even near a LTE area.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] swangotp:
Coming from the SGS2 I got the Vivid and I am saying that it is very heavy for a phone but is solidly built. The screen doesn't seem as good to me as the SGS2. But defentaly a solid phone looking forward to a good rom though.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Stormv64:
Why I got the Raider/Vivid?

I exchanged my s2 i9100 for the Raider on the first of October for one reason dual channel 4g (42mbs theoretical max instead of 21). There is no LTE in my area yet but getting an average of over 10mbs down in the Calgary area.

And it can't possibly be on LTE as I disabled it making for great battery life and haven't switched my sim to an LTE one yet.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slimslim:
Got mine today as well :). It was hard to decide, but I couldn't stand the Skyrocket's screen. It's impressive how smooth it runs for 1.2ghz only ;)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] yh823:
this phone is awesome my speeds are up at home i get 7mb down 1.6 up at work i get 12mb down 2mb up. Im loving this phone cant wait to get LTE service and rooted. Also again if you guys are planing to get this phone or already have it search and look for the voting thread and place your vote for the vivid forum:D
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Dkj7777:
my 3g and hspa+ speeds are faster on my vivid then on my infuse and inspire

Sent from my beastly HTC Vivid
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] yogi7272:
Can someone pls confirm whether this phone really does 1080P@60fps for video ?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pauley:
Ordered it last night in white with the white candyshell Speck case. I can't wait to switch back from Sprint. Between their reduced in-network coverage starting this past April and their apparent network overload from the new iFans, it was time to get out. Have a white evo now, so I'm also looking forward the the whole phone finally being white.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] badboyz:
I picked up mine yesterday, curious how some people are getting this for $99? At my local ATT it was $199
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ceo.mtcl:
Same here. Love the screen though. I am coming from Atrix then gs2, I missed the qhd from Atrix and this screen is so beautiful... Wow.

All I need is a root... Once I remove the bloatware this phone will rock even more.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cavemanstan:
Moved from Epic 4G Touch to Vivid due to Sprint's less than desirable network. I got the white one and so far I'm liking it (first HTC phone).

Anecdotal observations incoming...It's not as fast as the Touch in general use, especially when resizing web pages or scrolling. Sense seems to take up entirely too much RAM. Running Quadrant on both shows a huge difference: Touch-3388, Vivid-1865. I'm not sure if it's all the junk running with Sense or what. I'd love to see the scores with both on stock.

Despite the above, I'll probably stick with the Vivid since in day-to-day use I prefer the tighter resolution and feel of the phone. Most importantly, the Touch has *terrible* radios. I would lose wifi just going to my patio. It would go into roaming while sitting on my desk out of nowhere. I also missed calls with multiple LOS. The Vivid, on the other hand, keeps its wifi connection everywhere in and around my home. The LTE is blistering fast compared to WiMax so far in Houston. Last night I was getting 34Mbs down. Currently at work I'm getting around 12Mbs in midtown.

When it comes down to it I prefer a consistent data connection. I can't afford to miss texts or calls from work.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] donniesd:
Its 99 on ATT Website.

http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-ph...TM)+-+Black&q_sku=sku5390320#fbid=eOWZn07j5O7
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] badboyz:
WTF, pricing is different per state.... Online still says 199 for my location.

--edit, going to call them and complain see if I can get some kind of discount lol...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ceo.mtcl:
Same here, I got it at best buy for 199, if some one will be nice enough to post a link for 99, then we can do a price match at best buy and have them return the difference.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] badboyz:
just use a houston, tx zipcode such as 77002 and it will show an $100 discount on the att website
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cavemanstan:
I picked mine up at a local AT&T store for $99 in Houston.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jaxboater:
Got mine yesterday ($199) & also wonder about the $99 deal.

ATT states 35% restock fee.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] urusaikara:
I got mine with 200$ with out contract in S.Korea

;)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bloodiedwraith:
The restocking fee is $35 not 35%.

But the reason some areas have it for $100 less is because they are in LTE markets or are about to go live with LTE soon. For example the Metro New York market has the phones for $99.99 for Vivid or $149.99 for Skyrocket because NYC is going to go live with LTE. So the pricing will vary depending on market.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cheetablaze:
How thick is that phone? I really want it but it looks friggin huge looking at it from the side

My local AT&T store said to bring a print out of the online sale and they will match it at the store. I may go for a trip.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Big Dawg 23:
I have the original SGSII, which I got two and half weeks ago. Came from an iPhone 4, but have had many Android devices. My plan was to exchange it for the Skyrocket but now it may be the Vivid. I really like HTC phones. Some of the things in Touchwiz bother me or part of the Samsung Rom.

1. Vibration is very poor on the SGSII, Wonder how the Vivid is

2. All pictures come in the form of a MMS and you have to download to blow of the picture.

3. Lack of LED's functioning out of the box.

4. Full charge notification is a joke

5. Listening to Music and going to camera mode kills the music.

In my past experiences, all HTC phones have never done this. I had the G2 which was ASOP with no sense, but I put the Desire Z Sense on it. Guess I will play when I stop by tonight and go from there. However, my gut says I leave with a Vivid.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] gtkansan:
Just bought three... for 199 in atlanta.

If you go complain, and take in a pic of the listing, the store will price match. They dont want to, but complain and they will...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] donniesd:
Thanks for posting. I was going to ask if ant of the stores are having the same price. before i made the trip.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] combsrm77:
gtkansan, did they have black only or did you find white? I'm curious as I was hoping to pick one up in Atlanta today as well. I wanted to see the white in person.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] zombie.raised:
I already have one,
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bjg222:
My white one's in the mail, hopefully it'll be here soon!

There's several key markets where AT&T is selling the Skyrocket & Vivid for $100 off. These are also markets where the white one is available. Markets include NY/NJ, LA, South Texas, Bay Area, Indianopolis, South Texas, etc. See here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19112028&postcount=91. There are rumors over in the Skyrocket threads of people in these markets actually picking up LTE signal on occasion, leading to speculation that these are actually AT&T's next LTE markets they're going to activate, and that they're currently testing it (so you might get lucky and get signal early!).

Depending on where you buy it, some AT&T corp stores will price match an online printout of their website (but others refuse to do it). Best Buy will usually price match, as will Walmart.

Here in Atlanta, they didn't have the white one. Thankfully, the primary address on my plan is NJ, so I ordered mine online. Ought to be here soon!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] minicoop7:
Can someone please try screen print by pressing power then home button simultaneously and post speeds?

Thanks.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cavemanstan:
The screen shot did not work on my Vivid.

I'm not sure what you mean about speeds.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] tacotino:
Have it! Freaking best phone so far on att imo

Love this phone, kinda like a 2 dollar....well you know!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bjg222:
While I can't give you a screenshot yet (Don't actually have my phone, it's in the mail), I can give you some speeds. I'm in Atlanta, which is an LTE market, and I was playing with it in the store yesterday. I ran about a dozen speed tests, and they ranged from 15 to 25 Mbps down and 8 to 15 Mbps up.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Longcat14:
LTE/HSPA+ speeds is what he means.

I'm starting to wonder how they were posting screenshots from the Skyrocket... weird.

Sent from my phone. :3
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bjg222:
Galaxy S II's have a shortcut for taking a screen shot by pushing two buttons at once (Power and Volume? Power and Home? Don't remember, but something liked that). Some of the newer HTC's have that feature, too, I thought, but I'm not sure.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] doktor buknasty:
Here you go...btw I live in NY
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cavemanstan:
I have an Epic 4G Touch and the screen shot shortcut works on it so I'd guess that's a feature of TouchWiz.

Last night at home I was getting around 35Mbps down. Today at work I'm getting around 12Mbps down. If the "slow" speed of this phone is > 10Mbps I think I can live with that!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] malickie:
FYI Best Buy will Only price match if the AT&T Store Near you is selling the devices at the discounted price because they will not price match any Online deals. Personally I think it is a bit goofy but eh to each their own. Not sure about Wal-Mart though. Only reason I know the Best Buy thing is because I had called them and they said they would price match the phone. Than I went to Best Buy and went through the process of getting the phone and had to sit and wait because the "Wireless Phone Manager" said it was only an online deal and I had to tell him that I had called right before I came in and was told that you all would price match the $99.99 Price and I had to continue telling him that until he Called an AT&T store and they again verified that they were carrying the device for the $99.99 Price. So be aware of that if you attempt to do this with Best Buy and be ready to sit there for awhile if your in an area that AT&T is selling them in the store at the price and you go to Best Buy.

Just picked up a White Vivid for $99 and a Skyrocket for $149. The SR is super fast.

Here is Vivid

Here is the SR
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] minicoop7:
Sold! Thanks!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] yh823:
As per HTC's and AT&T's websites it records video at 1080p
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Big Dawg 23:
Its the Home and Power Button. Funny thing its the same as an iPhone.

I think I am sold on swapping my SGSII for the Vivid.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] gtkansan:
Only saw black at Atlantic station
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] NnihcD:
Go to www.mobilespeedtest.com and save the pic of your phones performance.

There are several apps on the market that will test data speed of your device. Since you do not have screen capture, you will not be able to share that information, but it is cool to check it out. Below is screen capture of my daughters Sensation on T-Mobile network in the Houston running ARHD 3.6.3 with a few build prop tweaks. Hope that Helps :)

You will need to click on "share your results" and then press and hold on the pic of your results to download.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bjg222:
Yeah, I went to three different stores (Atlantic Station, Lenox Road, and the new on up Peachtree), and they all said the same thing: Only black in Atlanta.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] minicoop7:
Sanofa!? *! Super sold!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] yh823:
here is mine im in New jersey and this is at different times and places. no lte network . this is a major improvement from my Rooted inspire 4g which barely made 3.5mbs down and 1.3 up
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] zzoinks:
For those wondering about the $99 pricing, here's the approach I used successfully at my local AT&T store:

Logged into my account on att.com (so that it showed my name/zip at the top of the screen)

Then went to this page and entered 90210 for the zip.

It then took me to a page that showed my zip at the top, but the lower $99 price in the body of the page

Took a screenshot and pasted it into word, printed that out. If I just printed the page out from the browser, it didn't have the ZIP code or my name at the top.

Armed with that I went in and the guy didn't have any problems matching the price for me.

-Brett.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] doost650:
Could someone with this phone please, please try and post that AT&T Visual Voicemail app?? It's not in the market and I would like to try it on a few of my AT&T android phones?? Please.....
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] russell1997:
got the Vivid at lunch today, very nice phone.

since 2007 this is my 3rd smartphone. HTC Tilt, HTC Aria, and now the HTC Vivid.

see a theme? NO IPHONE!!

I was dual booting the tilt with windows mobile 6.5 and Android 2.1 before getting the Aria. I rooted the Aria and was loading the Cyanogen mod nightlies.

I can't wait to get this phone rooted and hopefully Cyanogen will pick it up too. :)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jsalter85:
Dont know what is with all the comments about not having a screen capture.. you press and hold the power button and then immediately press the home button.. it saves screen shot to gallery. Here is a quick speed test from Atlanta. Yesterday I was getting 30-40 mbps in the same area.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jsalter85:
Not sure what you mean about the Visual Voicemail App? Here is what I think you might be referring to?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pside15:
Just got verification that I am able to order it through my company. I only got the Inspire in Feb. so not sure how their upgrades work but I'm not complaining. I got it for $99 as well and I'm in the Atlanta area. Should be here in a couple of days.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] hinduboy74:
Online ordering???

For those of your that ordered online, have the actual phones shipped or are the backordered? I put in an order for 2 white ones yesterday and as of now they are still out of stock. Idk how a new phone ordered on launch day cannot be in stock but i'm hoping soon. Keep me updated if any of you end of getting yours soon.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] doost650:
Yeah is there anyway to get a system dump with all the apps that are installed on this phone? That app in particular is not in the Android Market and I wanted to try and install it on a few of my other AT&T android phones? Or is there a way to post that app on the forum? I no it's an official AT&T app.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bjg222:
I placed my order yesterday afternoon. As of right now (4:30 PM EST), it's still showing as Pending Shipment online. It doesn't say out of stock or backorderd, just that it's waiting to be shipped. I got a confirmation that the transaction had been processed and sent to the warehouse for shipping last night, but I haven't gotten a shipment notification yet.
