Opinions on Samsung Infuse 4G?(GOT THE PHONE TODAY)

[RickyFriery97]

so my iphone 3GS is pretty much done, home button stopped working and it spazzes out thinking somethings plugged into it, and randomly turns off.

pretty sure i have a upgrade too.

ive always loved my iphone, but ive been looking into droid phones, mainly the infuse 4G, that 4.5" display has caught my eye

never had a droid phone , heard lots of people say droid>iphone though

Witch one would you pick, and why?

either one will be a great choice. im not a guru on rooting phones/jailbreaking but both phones has their perks when its rooted/jailbroken and can add so much shit in just 1 phone. but if it was me, i saw go with the infuse.

[RickyFriery97]

yeaa im a at rooting/jailbreaking too, i kinda wanna try something diffrent though, every one in my house has a iphone lol

The Infuse runs on a TouchWiz skin, right? I HATE TouchWiz with a burning passion. Of course you could just use Launcher Pro to change it, so it looks like a superior home screen and launcher *cough* Sense *cough*

Also, keep in mind that all 4G phones' batteries blow dick. If you arent near a charger all day, then youre going to run into issues. MY Aunt has the Samsung Charge. Her battery lasts 5 hours TOPS with moderate usage.

Although the screen seems nice on paper, you may think otherwise when you see the phone in person. My mom has the Evo 4G (4.3" screen), and I have the Droid Incredible (3.7" Screen). Her phone is too big in the hand imo. Whereas I love my phones size.

When I had my Droid 3 for a day, I loved the screen size. It was just about the perfect median to me. It was just too damn thick

the Android OS has WAY more freedom over iOS (out of the box). Yes, theres jailbreaking, but you said you were a n00b with that. I doubt youd want to risk your phone by jailbreaking, especially because you throw the warranty out the window.

In this comparison, I hate to say it, but I would choose the iPhone 4 for myself

Personally, everything apple that I've ever owned has run much, much smoother and has had much, much less problems than anything else. Especially phones. I have Sprint, so I don't have an iPhone. But I'd trade my droid for one in a heartbeat. I've hated all of my droids. That's just me, though. I know a lot of people who swear by androids and would never use apple products. Just personal preference

I can get you an HTC evo unlocked for the boost unlimited 50 a month...and the phone for like 300....no contracts..

Touchwiz is closer to stock android than many other Android skins. And it actually does add to the experience.

AT&Ts 4g isn't real 4g. Its just upgraded 3g. Battery life is more or less the same as other 3g android phones.

The screen is large, but you get used to it really fast. Super AMOLED+ > LCD. Super black blacks, really bright colors. And they finally got rid of the pentile subpixel arrangement in favor of RGB.

Also, the camera is frigging ridiculous. Don't know if that matters to you.

I'm personally holding out for the galaxy s 2. Smaller screen at 4.3, but a faster processor. The infuse isn't a slouch by any stretch of the imagination though.

The only thing is, when you get it, you will be surprised by how light the phone is.

yup it is running android 2.2 with touch wiz 3.0, why do you hate touch wiz? keep in mind ive never owned a android phone.

this phone has a 750 mAh battery, its pretty big. but i am on the internet alot and what not so battery life is a big thing to me, my iphone 3gs wasant that great

The big screen is what caught my eye, ive watched just about all the reviews and theve compared the size to a iphone 4, and it is a lil bigger but i think id like it, also cause im always pulling stuff up on the interwebz

i treid jail breaking the other day, and my phone froze and i had to restore it to the newest software and theres no jial break for it yet, but if you arent making your own themes and what not its gay, and i dont know how to make some of those badass themes.

i have alot of good things about droid and i kinda wanna try something diffrent, been on a iphone for a while now, no complaints, just wanna try something new

nevermind. my bad

You can put a CDMA phone on an IDEN network? Please explain

Even if you could, it wouldnt be worth it. CDMA allows for more simultaneous calls and MUCH faster data

Are you saying you can for simultaneous calls and data? Because you can't. GSM can. CDMA cannot.
