I just got an LG Optimus G and love it.

Great screen, fast and excellent battery life.

Only negative is the non-removable battery.

I know it's not the latest, greatest, but I am the king of trailing edge tech. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mtdew:
It's a nexus 4 with added functionality I'd imagine the aosp scene on that phone is pretty kickin
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] spitfire2425:
I meant htc zoe by camera. Htc also has a reason for the 4 megapixles. Forgot what it is though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bso44:
They're "ultrapixels".
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lazer77:
Ya, the more and more I kept eyeballing this phone, the more I wanted it.. Until I read a similar article on flipboard earlier. How stupid.

---------- Post added at 04:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:39 AM ----------

Let's more light through, less noise etc. More megapixels doesn't always mean it'll take better pics.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] spitfire2425:
Who needs more megapixels when you can make up a word like ultrapixels. Or superawesomemindblowingretnapixels. (Did ya see the retna part? Apple makes words up too!) Stupid apple...

How are Sony's screens? I'm excited to see what Googlerola puts out (especially based on what Eric Schmidt was saying about them recently), but Motorola's screens always seemed very dull and cheap.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jondroid2:
Got hands on with the HTC One yesterday. I understand all the negatives with this phone, but I just have to say it just felt right! Beautiful screen, metal body, very fast, and just the right size and shape! Even if you've already decided against getting this phone, do yourself a favor and check it out. It's what a quality high end phone should feel and run like. This could have been "The One"! Definitely the best phone I have ever walked away from:(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bso44:
I don't think anyone's questioning the hardware and performance. I just wish they would've gone with a bigger battery and killed that s-on, locked bootloader nonsense.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lazer77:
I don't much mind the lack of removeable battery/no SD, the locked bootloader is just what you said, nonsense.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bso44:
I wouldn't mind the non-removable battery so much if it had just a little more juice. Should've at least gone 2600mah like the S4.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Smash2Bash:
I feel the need to insert myself here. About two months ago my skyrocket bricked and I waited for my upgrade and got my Xperia ion from AT&T and this is a nice phone. It doesn't have jellybean yet and the custom ROMs are mostly for "unlocked bootloaders" but the main issue I wanted to point out, sorry for being out of place, is that I attempted to install the 4.1.2 Rogers update and my phone bricked and I missed my skyrocket ever since. I'm a flashoholic and got depressed when I saw the official att update came out. But I hope you guys are still enjoying your skyrocket. Only reason I think my ion is better is the camera. Otherwise, Skyrocket till death. I'll still keep poking my head out and throwing a response in once in a while. But for now, I reccomend the Xperia Ion. If you want a new phone, otherwise, keep the rocket.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mtdew:
The ion was in no way worth the upgrade in my eyes unfortunately.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Smash2Bash:
Not even the 12MP camera? It was 99¢ so I figured why not. I couldn't get another skyrocket or fix it.

+1. I've been the HTC route and am currently using Samsung. Both have their advantages, but the xperia z seems to finally offer the openness and specs that I want and put it in beautiful, durable hardware. I've been waiting a long time for this phone. Now to see if it comes to AT&T.

Went to att store today and played with the htc for a little while and i am sold. Im getting it this weekend, plus it seems the bootloader is unlocked which is a big plus and on top of that all roms from intl version work on att. Cant wait

I've heard that the pics taken with the HTC One don't look so super when sent to other phones. I'm assuming it's the difference with the ultra and mega pixels. Has anyone else heard/confirm this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] spitfire2425:
Ultrapixel is just a made up term. The camera is just 4 mpx
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] droidbabyxda:
Well, I am a little over 1 month in love with my note 2. Gotta say this phone is not the latest and greatest but it is awesome. Even unrooted and stock (bloated and all) the battery last all day and runs very smooth. No regrets whatsoever ... my .99cents plus upgrade fee was well worth it. Til my next upgrade... this will be it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jondroid2:

Since the s4s boot loader is gonna be locked too I'm going with the one for sure. That was the only reason i thought about going with the s4. Now theres no point. Plus the one is getting awesome de support from cm since a couple of their top devs got one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lazer77:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kchen96:
HTC one is great but have you guys been following Facebook first? Been listening to the verge and it's only downfall is the camera, AND it runs stock Android underneath after you disable Facebook home! They said theirs rumours of HTC releasing a updated HTC first with the ultra pixel camera from the one. 4.3 720p screen ergonomic feel 4glte midrange processors all day battery and HTC one level camera. Who's interested?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] MrGriffdude:
Galaxy s 4 still has a removable battery a micro so card slot and a better camera. An unlock process will come out eventually its only a matter of time
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] smully1:
The S4 launch has been delayed. It might be hard to find for a while depending on carrier.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lazer77:
I feel like youre going to regret it. The One really is tempting, but not tempting enough. Pretty certain it (s4) will have good dev support as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] scott14719:
AT&T S4 hasn't even been officially released in stores yet and there is already a root method available. Unlocking the bootloader should come quickly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lazer77:
Yeah, I read that earlier today on Flipboard. It's still going to be my next phone for sure.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Mike:
And not to mention how ridiculously simple the root method is. I couldn't really justify getting a One. Slower processor, no removable battery and smaller battery, no micro SD slot, 4 mega pixel camera, smaller screen and more bezel, etc. Just my opinion. Both are good phones, but with such strict competition these days in the market these things are of note.

Leaving in a few to pick the s4 up. Hope to see you guys over there

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hechoen:
LOL. I'm just gonna wait for a few morons to brick the S4. Then Samsung fixes them and sends them back to ATT as refurbs. I'm hoping to get one for twenty bucks or so in the next month or two. It's what I did with the Rocket and it's treated me pretty well so far.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] whosgotlag:
20 bucks? Is that actually feasible or are you exaggerating slightly
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hechoen:
The Rocket was released on Nov 6th 2011. I got a refurb for 20 bucks on Dec 17th. It always happens a month or two after the first units go out. People brick them and then just warranty them. All Samsung has to do is reflash stock then send them to ATT. It's a great way to get a phone. And you're off my ignore list again. Let's try and keep it that way.:rolleyes:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] MrGriffdude:
That's the same logic people use when they buy an iPhone lol trading functionality for looks haha
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] spitfire2425:
It wasn't just looks. I played games with both, took pictures, litened to sound quality... the s4 may be clocked higher but you can't tell the difference. The guy I talked to has had a week or so with both phones and said the battery is better on the one. Plus I'm really tired of touchwiz and sense 5 is beyond smooth and way less bloat. The screen may be smaller but you can't tell because on touchwiz there's a huge gap between the dock and the pages which is so stupid. Sense uses the whole screen. If samsung would have done the samething htc did (slim down the launcher and the rest of the phone) I would have gotten the s4. Plus the s4 felt sooo cheap compared to the one, plus the one would be tougher, don't say plastic could take a better hit because they'll be about the same (they make cars out of aluminum!) The screen looked much more defined and clearer. I know people hate the idea of the non-removable battery but why would you need it? Its just another thing that could break. The no sd-card slot bothers me but I'm used to it cuz of my nexus 7 and I really don't need that much space. People complain about the buttons on the one but I had no problems with them whatsoever. When it comes to looks the One is the clear winner. It feels more like a $400 phone than a $200 one. Well that's my review of the phones. Any questions? Id be happy to answer them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jondroid2:
Be prepared to do some screen repair work. It also is getting some slow charge times. At least that's what's being talked about on the ONE forum.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jd1639:
Worthless worries. I'm sticking with the i727 because it's a great phone. But all phones have issues. If you want to find them you can.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] droidbabyxda:
I've seen and played with bothe One and S4 and still think Note 2 is better. Don't get me wrong, this thing is huge but the screen size and how smooth it runs it is pretty amazing. I didn't like the Note 2 until I've used it for a few days. Happy with my .99cents purchase.:D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mtdew:
Until HTC can consistently provide good sources and documentation I refuse to consider them. Same goes for any OEM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hechoen:
Lol. Ask yourself that after your battery reaches the end of it's life. I can hear your thoughts now "Why the hell didn't I get a phone with a removable battery?"

It looks like a great phone but the battery and sd slot are deal breakers for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bso44:
How would a removable battery break? Are you talking about the removable backing? I've taken that thing off on my S3 dozens of times and there's almost zero chance of anything breaking.

He's just a fan boy that's convinced himself the HTC is a better phone. It's personal preference. If you're fine with all the negatives of the HTC, cool, get it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] droidbabyxda:
Anything breaks whether it is removable or not. I had one hTc and it didn't last very long so I am biased. I switched to skyrocket and my husband dropped it and it hit the pavement on one corner. Something got shaken inside but screen was still awesome. I had an iphone 3gs way before I knew what android was it was dropped, kicked, thrown and gotten beat up so bad and to this day still works like brand new. So I think it depends on what each person experiences that makes them like a brand more than the other. I stayed with samsung coz I like their touchwiz and not to mention I always get a good deal on refurbs.

I'm eligible for my upgrade but honestly, neither the S4 nor the HTC One really blew me away enough to use it. They're both great phones but each still has some glaring weaknesses imo. And I'm still happy with my S3 so I plan on waiting for the S5 or possibly the Motorola X.

I'm betting the HTC One is going to take a decent chunk out of Samsung's market share (the S4 will still outsell it though) so I think we'll see a significant re-design for the S5 that'll stress better hardware design and build quality.

I hear that!

I spent an hour and a half of my time talking Rogers out of a bit more than half the early upgrade fee for my daughter's phone (actually broken) two weeks ago so I think it would be either too much work or an exercise in futility to try the same fight for my own for at least another few months.

I think on paper I'm stuck with mine until December 2014!!! I'll certainly fight the battle before that, but right now it ain't broke so I don't need to fix it.

Interestingly when their "retention" department sees that I've had at least one and up to 4 cell contracts with them since 1994 they're sometimes a little more flexible... but only if I leave several months between calls.

Personally, I'm going to wait a bit. Theres others still working on the boot loader lock as well. Sounds like they want to go about it a different way. I don't really know tho cuz I have no idea what they're talking about, but it makes for interesting reads.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kchen96:
I prefer a phone to be a phone... 4.3seems just right to me. People moving up to 5 inch or 5.5 (note 2 I'm looking at you) should just get a tablet. However I do understand considering companies seem to refuse making flagship "small" devices excluding apple. To think a couple years ago 4 inches was considered huge. If HTC can pack 2 gigs of ram, a good dual core soc, and that no shutter lag ultra pixel camera with a 720p display into a 4.3 inch device I'm definitely in
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mtdew:
Why would we want two devices when we could have one to do it all. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean you have a right or any knowledge to say what we should do. The devices are selling and well by that so I'd say it's more in demand than you seem to think.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kchen96:
I never said they weren't selling (whether it be because of the huge advertising everywhere telling people "bigger is better" or actual user preference). I am allowed to express my opinion just so as you are too and I don't go around telling people otherwise. Yes they are selling well ("they" being large phone 4.7 inches+), and you wanna know why? Because every flagship device is that big so ummm where exactly do people who want smaller phones go now? IPhone? (which holds like 30% of the smartphone market still) I'm glad HTC is planning to cater to this audience and I don't know why you would be against it, if you don't like it don't get it. Simple as that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lazer77:
