Will Verizon have the Samsung Galaxy S II or a decent dual core 4G Android soon?

---

Sprint has HTC Evo 3D and Samsung Galaxy SII
T-Mobile has G2X, HTC Sensation, MyTouch 4G
Verizon has... well, the Bionic

I really want to stay with Verizon, they have the best network and the absolute best more reliable network.

So, anybody knows if they will have a decent dual core phone any time soon?

I need
1) descent screen. Super AMOLED cool, but any phone will do. HTC and LG usually have good screens. I love the screen of my G2X for instance
2) 1GB of RAM, or maybe even 728MB, but preferably 1GB
3) At least 1GB of space for apps, I believe that is called Internal Storage
4) 4G. At least >= 4000 kbps/s inside malls
5) Nvidia Tegra >=1Ghz would be nice

If you Google it you will find that VZW is not going to sell the GSII because they don't think it has enough to compete with the IP5 when it drops. They have a newer offering from Samsung called the Prime that they hope to have on the market in time for the holidays. Possibly as early as next month.

Well my main concern if I switch to Spint is that I will have to pay around $80 per month or something like that

I don't have a problem with having two carriers within the family, but with Verizon I only have to pay a cheap $50 per month price

I like the fact that Sprint has the Samsung Galaxy SII, the HTC Evo 3D

They even have a Motorola Dual Core as well

All 4G, Dual Core, nice screen, good RAM

So 3 devices vs 1

From what I am reading, if I use this phone from Verizon, I will use it for at least 6 months, till January or something

I know how technology works, and how long it takes for new devices to appear

example the GTX 600 series will appear in January, AMD Bulldozer still hasn't arrived, Intel took forever to fix their motherboards, and 6 months after they released the Intel Sandy Bridge, they were still releasing new chipsets

Here is how much it will cost me to switch carriers for the next 6 months

If I stay in T-mobile and stay in no contract
$120 every month.
Total: $720

If I move to Sprint
$90 per month
I need to finish paying $350 to T-Mobile for the phone, Let's say I sell the phone in $200, $150 out of my pocket
$250 for the Samsung Galaxy S II
I still need to pay July and August to T-Mobile, so add another $240
Total: $1180

If I stay in Verizon
$50 per month
I need to finish paying $350 to T-Mobile for the phone, Let's say I sell the phone in $200, $150 out of my pocket
$350 for the Droid Bionic
Let's say I sell the Bionic for $350, let's say the Samsung Prime is $600, so $250 out of my pocket
I still need to pay July and August to T-Mobile, so add another $240
Total: $1290
In theory I want to stay with the cheapest one (T-Mobile), but again, I don't like them

I had no-contract plan with them, but now those plans are no existing anymore.
So I can't drop down to the $99 plan I had before, freaking idiot$..., they told me the ONLY way to drop my price is to make a new 2 year contract.

So if I want to cancel with them I have to pay them a ****load of money since I am still paying the phone

So even if T-Mobile is the cheapest, I wouldn't trust them with my credit card or bank account anytime soon, so I won't stay with them no way

I think I'm going to stay with T-Mobile, and then someday try to switch to Sprint
If I can switch to Sprint this week, that would be great.
If I can't, then I don't see what's the point of doing this deal with Verizon. I am 110% sure that I don't like this phone

now, with T-Mobile I had no contract, so I had the ability to go up/down in plans. Now those idiot$... removed all those plans, so they respect my rate but they won't allow me to upgrade/downgrade

So another nasty tactic would be to allow T-Mobile to send us to collections and hopefully we can go to court and explain to the judge that they can't destroy my plans, and then expect me to pay $120 forever

They actually want me to pay $120 per month, for 2 years (until I finish paying my phone), because those idiot$.. just say they don't have no-contract plans anymore.

So screw them, I haven't decided yet if I can sue them or if it's even worth my time

Anyway, if I just forget about them, maybe throw them a bone here and there, here are my new estimates

If I stay in T-mobile and stay in no contract
$120 every month.
Total: $720

If I move to Sprint
$90 per month
$250 for the Samsung Galaxy S II
Total: $790

If I stay in Verizon
$50 per month
$350 for the Droid Bionic
Let's say I sell the Bionic for $350, let's say the Samsung Prime is $600, so $250 out of my pocket
Total: $900

Now, my question would be

If Sprint and Verizon have good reception inside malls, Best Buy, Frys, Walmart... and the price is around the same

Which one would you chose?

My main problem with Verizon is that they only have ONE FREAKING PHONE that works with 4GB, and has a dual core CPU

So anyway, even though I hate doing this, tomorrow, if for some reason I don't sign up with Sprint, I am going to stay at $tupid T-Mobile.

Not worth it bud. You don't want ANYTHING remotely bad on your credit report, especially in these economic times. Creditors are looking for an excuse not to lend. You might not need a loan now, or in the near future, but you never know if an emergency comes and you get denied because of a not paid phone bill.
Just my 2 cents...

That's not even close to true. Verizon sees no point in selling the GSII because the Prime is the same phone except for the LTE radio and Ice Cream Sandwich (reported to be the first ICS phone).

The IP5 will probably be the IP4 running the iPad2's SoC and iOS5; the GS2 has been out for many months and can already run with that as can other devices.

I know, but hey, not to brag or anything, but if I work hard I can make all the amount that I owe them (including the phone cost and the 2-3 months I will be behind) in a couple of days

The problem is that I have a NO CONTRACT plan with T-Mobile

Somehow I ended up stuck at $120 per month because those plans don't exist anymore

so they can't discount me or anything

From what I know, they do send you to collections after 3 months.

So I can screw them and after 2 months and 29 days just pay them the cash and shut their mouth

I just dislike companies being dishonest

If I have NO CONTRACT how on earth did I ended up with such a high fee?

I can't even remove or add features to the plan, it's ridiculous

But do you know if the Prime will take another 6 months to arrive or so?

I can't stand my phone it's only being 4 days of use

Well, from the daily reading I've been doing it IS a superior phone to the GSII. It isn't even going to run the same processor! It is based on Samsung's in-house Exynos CPU at 1.5 GHz with 1GB RAM. It will not be using the TI processor like the duece. The phone has a metal body. That's right, a Samsung with a metal body. It will also sport a 2000 mAh battery. On the soft side, there's a new browser that is said to be leaps and bounds ahead of anything else on the market.


Obviously, this close together it isn't extensively different, but quite a bit so at e same time. The plan is to have it on the market for the holiday shopping season. Probably within the month or not a lot longer.

Your back? You said good bye already what gives chief?
