[Q] Infuse Expectations?

---

I just bought a Infuse 4G on the AT&T website the other day, and heading to pick it up tomorrow. I was just wondering what the pro's and con's are of the phone. I have a grace period in case I don't like the phone and see if there's a better trade.

is this an upgrade? i seen it advertized for $19.99 at radioshack..i would go with the sg2,skyrocket, or vivid..but i bought the infuse on launch day,im happy with it

I've heard from several people the dual cores are slower than the infuse. I'm very happy with what I have at this point in time.

it's not that the dual cores are slower as a whole, but simply that there are less apps that can fully take advantage of it. I mean, using a skyrocket, theres like, slightly less delay flipping through a million menus, but on a day to day basis, its no problem.

expect a beautiful screen, and snappy response after you install one of the custom roms. If you're planning on using it as a music player, supercurio said it has the best audio chip/codec on the market right now. And avoid the samsung based roms if you do, they don't like reading ID3 tags properly.
as a note, i recommend CM7 with the thunderbolt script installed. fking amazing.

nothing really comes to mind for cons, i mean, it's fast, but not the fastest. is it fast enough? i'd say so. screens amazing as i already said, battery lasts me a good day with heavy usage. HD videos don't lag, i can play PSX games on it no problem, overall pretty solid

Skyrocket is fast on stock, but alot of others I have tested like bionic is slower then mine when running cm7. I benchmark both.

I would STRONGLY recommend returning the Infuse and getting the Galaxy S II (I777).

There is NO reason for anyone to purchase the Infuse new at this point.

Avoid the Skyrocket, it'll have the same problems as far as software updates availability as the Infuse, if not worse. At least the Infuse had 70% commonality with other devices. The ****rocket is at maybe 5% - it has a similar screen and that is it.

The I777 is 95% identical to Samsung's international flagship, the I9100.

Quoted for truth

The sgs2 attain i777 is often found for $0 - $50

I've had all three and to be honest I prefer the skyrocket, then the i777 then the infuse

Return it! Don't get an old device and be stuck with dying dev for 2 yrs.

Dev isn't dying on my end...I'm working hard to keep it going...all my spare time...I lime the infuse...even tho I will be dev for the skyrocket after christmas
