[kuqqhd]

Just ordered this phone !

[jacob2000jacob2000]

This or samsung infuse?

[Redbridz222]

Can i put any sim card in the phone? PLEASE HELP!

[xXUSMCGRIFFXx]

OK, here's my predicament....I need to get a new phone (soon hopefully), here are my options: HTC Vivid, iPhone 4s, or I can wait for the HTC One X

[techdude6693]

@xXUSMCGRIFFXx Galaxy Note lol. I have one and I love it

[xXUSMCGRIFFXx]

@techdude6693 I have had a terrible experience with Samsung phones, and the note is just WAY too big lol. I was just at the ATT store yesterday (oh and it turns out that the bastards pushed my contract end date back, AGAIN. First it was Oct. 2011, then March 2012, and now it's Sept. 2012...WTF?!) and I was playing around with the phones, I really like the Vivid, the iPhone 4s seems small and less advanced compared to the Vivid (excluding that stupid Siri service) and the Vivid seems built better

[adry423]

iphone 4s or htc Vivid?

[Sadie8D]

@adry423 HTC vivid. i have it i love it

[ghudalarubi]

@adry423

I owned both and personally I like the iphone 4S because it had no lag in any game i played....as for the vivid i play GTA III and is so laggy and have tried everything.....in Iphone it worked better. BUT if I were to chose I would go for the VIVID! BIGGER SCREEN AND LTE ITS FUTURE PROOF.

[ubee0001]

is it available in india ?

[kkaleb12345]

plzz replyy htc titan 2 samsung skyrocket 2 or vivid my update is comming

[everythingmac123]

@kkaleb12345 neither, the galaxy s3 should be here soon. im pretty sure samsung confirmed it to be at MWC (mobile world congress) just hold out a little bit longer and itll be beyond worth it.

[xtacee1990]

@kkaleb12345 Dont get samsung. Wait till the new HTC phones come out. Easier to use and very fluid. Good build as well.

[aasyahh]

iLove Rios freaking phone .. I've had it since Dec. 21 :) it awesome .!

[BlubberOwl]

Does this work on T-Mobile's 3G/4G?

[xxwafflekittyxx]

I hope they have 4G in NY o3o. That would erm... suck xD

[Babyl0v3rZ]

it got the looks like iphone4 . if side view :D

[GencsTheTank]

ive had this phone for a month and i absolutly love it!

[decimator22]

When I get a hold of this phone, it will be rooted via my laptop before I leave the parking lot.

[OnlineMadSkillzz2]

Can you use a iphone 4 sim card on this phone. And if the sim card says 3g does it still get the whole 4g service thing

[UnshodCreature]

This looks like a very good phone

[thegarbear05]

theres places that dont even have 4g they need to get more signals and LONGER BATTERY LIFE

[MrPokemonmaster10000]

should i get this now or should i wait for a new iphone 5 to come out??? anyone can reply!

[coulterxo3]

@MrPokemonmaster10000 The iPhone 5 is only supposed to have a 4" screen and this has a 4.5" screen. This phone is really big! I wasn't expecting it when I played with it. So I would get this phone, but we don't even know if anything on the iPhone 5 is going to change

[MrPokemonmaster10000]

@coulterxo3 hey thanks for the reply i may just wait to see how the iphone 5 turns out! and hopefully i may buy this phone or a newer version if the new iphone is not all that epic!

[demarcusdaye215]

Love htc but this phone is too big .. I want a phone like the htc tilt 2 by far the best phone but lacky software

[SHREDDable]

@demarcusdaye215 get this phone i have had it for over a month and i dont regret it it is super snappy and has so much more customization than the iphone. If you get this phone, trust me you wont get bored of it

[chanman332]

I've had the phone before then i got it again after i broke my first one and now on the new one it says safe mode what does that mean and how do i get it to go away?

[brenlwood]

Are you able to use 4g phones on a 3g network?

[epicellion]

@brenlwood yes



[brenlwood]

@epicellion Would i be able to use an amercian phone in australia?

[TheCangri8]

one question can i buy this phone without getting a 4G data plan? (can i use this phone with a 3G data plan)

[444hun]

@aqua4eternity No , the HTC Inspire is 4.3 Inches, the resolutions is 480x800 . The HTC Vivid is 4.5 Inches, and the resolution is 540x960 and it's super LCD with LED backlight. It's beautiful, I have the white Vivid :-)

[OnlineMadSkillzz2]

[hshm19]

[thekidleo510]

I got this phone....best phone ever!!!!!!

[TCB1468]

Should I buy this, I have an Atrix but it's not getting ICS :( also I have always wanted an HTC. Does this have NFC and this will get ICS right? Also is it worth paying the regular price or just keep my Atrix because I don't have an upgrade

[ShmelloJones]

@TCB1468 I don't know about NFC, but this is getting ICS (:. I'm gettting this for Christmas! I'd recommend it. I tested it at the AT&T Store and even with the big plastic lock on it, it was still awesome.

[kkwik16]

@TCB1468 I tested every phone at AT&T yesterday and this was the best. I would recommend it!

[DustoffDust]

@kkwik16 sooo true

[DustoffDust]

@TCB1468 yup get it in white, if you like the elegant style. either way they work great and good

[littlemonster1531]

Does att charge for the "4G"

[GhostSquadUS]

@littlemonster1531 no you just have to pay for a data plan if your using a smartphone

[JaytFreshBeat]

mah dream phone

[ShmelloJones]

I counted 540 dollars in coins for this <3 I've never had a smartphone before! I paid for it and my mom is giving me the internet plan for christmas(: I live in Boston too so I'll have LTE! So excited!

[TheCreativeCuriosity]

@ShmelloJones i hear ya!!! i love my htc vivid i just got it yesterday and im loving it!

[doik15]

@MrMurder96 california?! :o

[dontbeahater2011]

We dont have 4g in my area:'(

[doik15]

it lies, 4g is really slow and it lags! i regret getting this phone .-.

[diZZyZacky]

I have a question for someone that has the vivid. Ok I got the Inspire about a year ago is the vivid worth paying the extra charges?

[emanuelx19]

@diZZyZacky yes it is!!!! I just got mine 2 days ago and im in love with it I cant put it down, it is always in my pocket. if your not in one of the cities with LTE you have to wait until next year for it to go nationwide. And the screen is much clearer.

[immasweetieyaknow123]

Ok people, I have a question! If you had to choose, which phone would it be out of these three? HTC Vivid, HTC Inspire, and the Samsung Infuse. I've had an iPhone, blackberry, pantech duo, and I want something different. I really need people's opinions on which phone I should get becausae I'm clueless and I know for sure I want an android! Help please!(:

[iJamCrazy]

@immasweetieyaknow123 inspire;)

[philipvipe]

just wondering but whats the point of spinning the homescreens really fast

[kekemo4life1]

I only want cause it has 2 cameras, but I already have the HTC inspire.

[Slimjim6096]

@kekemo4life1

same here



[Beastly1128]

when he was searching through the wall papers, he was trying to get the one that had water and leaves... FAIL

[alexanderj93]

I was just looking at this phone, I'm in the market for a new phone since my iPhone 4 just broke recently, broke meaning left in pocket and washed lol, and I figured why not make a change, I'm considering either this one, the samsung infuse, or the htc inspire, this one seems to have my attention more, I like it's style.

[drummerbax]

i got this phone last night and love it

[sbcbaseball15]

I'm waiting for a 720p 4g LTE quad core beats

More memory

And better front facing cameras

It has to last me 2 years so it has to be good

[aksmit4x]

I have the HTC Sensation 4G on T-mobiles "4G" network and I get average speeds of 10mbit/sec +

[TheChristianAlvarado]

Is this phone better than the iPhone 4s? Im getting either one for Christmas and i wanna get one that is fast and has good quality picture

[shadow50ify]

@TheChristianAlvarado of course vivid is better than the 4s

[TheChristianAlvarado]

@shadow50ify But since it has the 'LTE' 4g stuff and only works in certain parts of the US.. does that mean if i go see someone who lives in a place without the LTE service, i won't be able to use the phone really?

And does it lose battery fast?

[shadow50ify]

@TheChristianAlvarado look if u live in a 4G place you will use 4G but if u live in a no 4g place u can still use the internet by 3G or HSDPA or WIFI connectivity and its battery umm not bad but i've seen better battery life umm but in my opinion u should buy the Moto droid razr it has 1- better performance 2- better camera 3- better display 4- dust and water resistant 3- its front facing camera is 2mp 720p soo theres my opinion 5- verizon 4g the best 4g network

[TheChristianAlvarado]

@shadow50ify Thanks you helped a lot! And I would get the Razr but I don't have Verizon.

[shadow50ify]

@TheChristianAlvarado you can get the unlocked version of the phone its name is Motorola RAZR XT910

but the down side of the phone is 1-no 4G connectivity 2-its front facing camera 1.3mp but there is no 720p on this one (the front facing camera not the rear camera .The rear camera is still 8 mp HD video)

[TheChristianAlvarado]

@shadow50ify Yeah I'm just going to go with the Vivid

[shadow50ify]

@TheChristianAlvarado as u wish

[iPhonesSuckLol]

@TheChristianAlvarado Ignore my name, it's a joke. But seriously, get the Vivid.

[TheChristianAlvarado]

@iPhonesSuckLol I made up my mind.. I'm gonna get the HTC Vivid in white!

[Halfgini]

screen was "vivid". way to sneek that one in there.

[ykid1195]

the guy on phone arena was so FUCKING ANNOYING i came here : )

[UltimateGamer600]

quick question is this the best os for android based (you know has motorola & samsung has different lookn + feeln os's thats what i mean (i've used n h8'd motorola for 2 years))

[AppleiVidz]

this or the skyrocket????????????????

[chevyyman90]

anyone know how the battery life is on the vivid??

[12Jbarnett]

I live in athens georgia I have 4 g l t e on my white vivid really fast

[nkohli061]

Should I get this or the inspire htc

[hRynk0]

@nkohli061 get this phone! NOT the HTC Inspire. I am an owner of the HTC Inspire. The first month it was great but after that it just went down hill. It freezes alot and the battery life is horrible! Theres times where it wont open any of the apps like my email or the internet. The display may seem promising and yes it is very sharp, BUT I would recommend you get the vivid instead of the inspire.

[nkohli061]

@dphomadin. Where did you find it?

[dphomadin]

I hope the vivid is a good phone....i have the infuse and love it and just ordered the vivid today cuz i found it for only a Penny....

[drummerbax]

question for anyone do you have to pay more in a contract for the 4g or is it just like upgrading from an old phone thanks

[xPhyllisxWavy96]

So Htc Inspire 4g Or Htc Vivid ???

[donsmile922]

55555

[mcgunner121]

[Jaquis198]

[12Jbarnett]

[MsGypsyTea]

[tech4all19]

Should I get this or the Galaxy S2 Skyrocket?

[KingofZona]

@tech4all19 Bro let me know what you go with, I'm also deciding which phone to get as I was grandfathered into unlimited data with AT&T!

[tech4all19]

@KingofZona I'm thinking of getting the vivid

[hitman10171]

For those who are deciding wether to get the iPhone 4s should get it. It's worth every penny

[DustoffDust]

yesh the white one is niceee

[gorman1996]

I get my upgrade on the 4th and I don't know if I should get this or the iphone 4s?

[ebbie23boy]

@gorman1996 i just got this phone yesterday, i was gonna get an iPhone 4s but they didnt have it in stock so i decided to get this instead and im GLAD i got this instead of the iPhone 4s. I guess part of it is because ive never had a different phone since 3g, thats why i decided to get a different one =P

[pannnycakeMMM]

better then iphone 4? :/ cause im deciding between these two...

i like this cause it looks like the evo and thats a legit phone..

[ipod102692]

i live in an lte area and im going to this phone

[Fudjiikun]

LOL 5:35 "The looks to be very VIVID"

[Charliebrownhot]

U can use this phone in any part of the world... if u carrier has a GSM 3.5 or 4g in 850 900 or 2100 in H+

[santiagoryan70]

I'm just holding on to my Inspire till the next Iphone comes out.

[MadmanAndMystic26]

Could I use this phone in Greece? Is it unlocked?

[1233wazup]

yay i get 4g

[touthao2934]

Seems like slower than my inspire

[indigoal3n]

Ok that realy looks like a brick :-/

[superpiff420]

Nobody has the white one it looks way better

[Khronicks]

@superpiff420 No kidding, the white one actually looks crazy good

[Sadie8D]

i love my htc vivid so much!!:))

[inFever]

Will it be released in Europe too? Or is this phone just for the US?

[santiagoryan70]

I just got the HTC Inspire in August. I'm so pissed.

[jar0001]

@santiagoryan70 Come on this is the same as the inspire...almost

[Andrew1224gd]

you should of done a data speed test

[RockinToke]

I hate how phone geeks talk..

[pspbot123]

@RockinToke the way he speaks is fine.

[iH8MomJokes]

This phone vs samsung galaxy s2 vs motorola droid razr... Any thoughts? I heard motorola has no flash support. If so, then there is only 2 phones im debating over. PLEASE HELP! :) Thanks in advance

[SupaSneakyChopsticks]

This is the HTC Holiday/Raider right?

[chineybway]

@SupaSneakyChopsticks yeah it is

[drazzking22]

The screen on the phone sucks

[mackmarstaller]

is there lte in dalas

[typerk]

@mackmarstaller yes

[JSU24]

Maybe a dumb question but whats the real difference between the HTC Inspire and the Vivid?

[ShmelloJones]

@JSU24 the vivid is double the speed, a lot bigger, i presumea better battery since the inspire has a terrible battery, a better camera, and a different size and shape

[AFC12812007]

@JSU24 Better and slightly bigger screen, camera, front-facing camera, 1080p video capture, 1.2 GHz DUAL-CORE processor. It's actually 4G, the most important thing of all. Better battery(there is an app to save battery life) 8 MP camera with 26mm wide-angle lens, f22 low-light capability, and dual LED flash as I mentioned above. Check out AT&T's website for all the details. I can't fit everything in here. lol

[TwoXSmokeX]

Ill stick with my HTC inspire for now ;)

[Sadie8D]

just got this phone today absolutely love it so far i cant get enough of it!!
