Android Thread V4 - Got money? Samsung Galaxy S II. No money? ZTE Blade. - Hardware & Software

Is the Galaxy S2 going to be with Sprint?

[QUOTE=aridpheonix;31242736]Is the Galaxy S2 going to be with Sprint?[/QUOTE] Yes, but I don't have a source for that right now, so you might want to double check.

Oh great, I installed a ported Youtube app on 2.1. :v: My life is complete.

[QUOTE=Arachnidus;31237237] Short answer: no. Long answer: No, no, never, not unless it's free.[/QUOTE] Care to elaborate? What about a HTC Desire for the same price?

I found the ViewSonic G-Tablet with Android 2.2 for $250. Anyone have experience with this tablet? I plan to hack it all up, custom CM7 ROM, etc.

Posting from my Galaxy S2 :D

Dat screen :o So much more vibrant and pretty than my Omnia 2's first gen AMOLED.

They didn't have any accessories at the store I went to. He said to check back in a week or so. What's an essential list of apps to have? I'm stepping up from Windows Mobile 6.5, and now that I actually have an Android device, I have no idea what to do with it :v:

There needs to be a big banner on the OP that says "If you want an Android phone, get the Samsung Galaxy S2." Then after that maybe you could have another banner saying "Don't have the money? Get a ZTE Blade."

[QUOTE=faze;31251123]Getting the Acer A500 instead. Already has Honeycomb. :)[/QUOTE] Nice. They have lots of ROMs for the Iconia, one of which actually lets you run the Galaxy Tab version of Honeycomb on the Iconia. Touchwiz goodness.

Yeah, for some reason the Iconia seems to have the most diverse selections of ROMs. Even the Xoom didn't get the Galaxy Tab ROM ported to it.

[QUOTE=faze;31251289]I hear the screen is pretty shitty, and that Honeycomb is big on crashing a lot. :-/[/QUOTE] For which device, the Iconia? It has grids on it but it's by no means a shitty screen. It's also slightly faster than the Xoom for some reason. Probably faster SSD or something.

Meh, it's fine. I actually got an Iconia at home and it's not really that bad. Let's put it this way: you'll notice it, sure.. but only if you're trying to. Either way for 399 it's awesome.

[QUOTE=faze;31251586]$299 with the $100 off coupon from Staples. Google it.[/QUOTE] Hot damn. $299 for Tegra 2 overclockable up to 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM. Good deal.

[QUOTE=SA Spyder;31251664]overclockable up to 1.6GHz[/QUOTE]Wow! [editline]21st July 2011[/editline] Staples has two left...I'm hoping they're there when I go in 3 hours!

Fuck yeah, I got my SGS2!! I was wondering how to search via those code things, here is the one I was trying to use: [url]http://code.google.com/p/kwaak3/downloads/detail?name=kwaak3_test_v11f.apk&can=2&q=&sort=-uploaded[/url] Could anyone tell me how? :)
