I'll tell you what though. My contract with AT&T is up soon. I was planning on getting an Android phone and staying with them, but if they haven't released a phone on par with the N1, Incredible, etc, I will go to another carrier. AT&T can have fun with their iPhone that's already being overtaken by Android (something I didn't expect to happen until next year).]]>May 4th 2010 3:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/htc-legend-coming-to-atandt-according-to-fcc/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/htc-legend-coming-to-atandt-according-to-fcc/MSM7227 is just the next evolution of the MSM7200 garbage line of processors. Sure its GPU may be alright, but what about the CPU itself? Just slightly faster clocked garbage? No thanks.
The MSM7200 was the worst thing to happen to smartphones. It completely destroyed WM and gave Android a bad start. Slow piece of junk.]]>May 4th 2010 4:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/htc-legend-coming-to-atandt-according-to-fcc/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/htc-legend-coming-to-atandt-according-to-fcc/May 4th 2010 5:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/htc-legend-coming-to-atandt-according-to-fcc/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/htc-legend-coming-to-atandt-according-to-fcc/This phone isn't all about performance. It's about the design most importantly! The unibody aluminum shell is awesome. It actually seems to be a better compainion to the MacBook Pro than an iPhone in terms of appearance. Hopefully they won't ugly it up like what Sprint did to the Hero.

I'm so SICK of waiting for a freaking Snapdragon Android. God i wish i had another viable choice of a cell provider to go to. ]]>May 4th 2010 11:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/htc-legend-coming-to-atandt-according-to-fcc/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/htc-legend-coming-to-atandt-according-to-fcc/May 4th 2010 11:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/htc-legend-coming-to-atandt-according-to-fcc/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/htc-legend-coming-to-atandt-according-to-fcc/
if i had $529 lying around i would. I just don't see putting that on my credit card.. Especially if I'm going to be with att for another 2 years ANYWAY! If they would give me a cheaper rate, then i def. would. But buying an unlocked phone at full price and paying the same rate, NO THANKS.

I feel like they owe us a good phone with a subsidy. Especially considering i've given them thousands of dollars over the last 6-7 years]]>May 4th 2010 11:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/htc-legend-coming-to-atandt-according-to-fcc/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/htc-legend-coming-to-atandt-according-to-fcc/
So get the most subsidized phone you can, that you can get the most for, sell it, and then put that towards the Nexus One. Yes, it's crappy that the phone companies put us in this position, but at least it partially resolves your problem.]]>May 4th 2010 11:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/htc-legend-coming-to-atandt-according-to-fcc/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/htc-legend-coming-to-atandt-according-to-fcc/May 4th 2010 11:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/htc-legend-coming-to-atandt-according-to-fcc/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/htc-legend-coming-to-atandt-according-to-fcc/May 4th 2010 11:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/htc-legend-coming-to-atandt-according-to-fcc/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/htc-legend-coming-to-atandt-according-to-fcc/May 4th 2010 11:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/htc-legend-coming-to-atandt-according-to-fcc/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/htc-legend-coming-to-atandt-according-to-fcc/
well, i'm really not sure i want the nexus one to be honest. I mean i think the Desire may be better (IMO, i think) and the Incredible def has it beat. So i hate to go through all that trouble, then smack att releases something I REALLY want. I mean hell i've been waiting for about 3 years to get a smartphone, whats a few more months?]]>May 4th 2010 12:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/htc-legend-coming-to-atandt-according-to-fcc/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/htc-legend-coming-to-atandt-according-to-fcc/
I don't mind paying the $520, I'd just hate to pay up then see something like the Shadow or the Galaxy S come out a month later... But AT&T's playing it's cards pretty close to the vest so I've got no choice. Those devices might not even be rooted for months after they come out anyway, so that's one hassle i'd avoid by going w/the N1, honestly the one thing that would redeem AT&T in my eyes is if they released the Desire by June (which is already rooted).

That's the one phone that AT&T could plausibly release that would be worth this horrible wait, for me...]]>May 4th 2010 12:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/htc-legend-coming-to-atandt-according-to-fcc/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/htc-legend-coming-to-atandt-according-to-fcc/
be careful about getting the iphone 4g you know it's prob going to have the new micro Sim so it's going to be a pain in the a$$ to have to go and get att to give you another one. since the new one will be activated when they ship you the iphone, right????]]>May 4th 2010 1:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/htc-legend-coming-to-atandt-according-to-fcc/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/htc-legend-coming-to-atandt-according-to-fcc/
If AT&T launches the desire, it will be spec for spec the same as the N1 MINUS voice speech to text and noise cancellation. It'll also come with some of the most restrictive branding implementation on AT&T in a while. It will be locked on yahoo search; you can't sideload apps outside the marketplace, and rooting the phone will be very hard. Not a win by any means in my book.

@victor The Desire has a few advantages over the N1 imo... A lot of people have commented it's speaker is louder (extra hole for sound output on top), that they prefer the physical buttons over the N1's touch sensitive ones, and the touchpad is less of a failure point than the N1's trackball. I'd take the Desire over the N1 even w/some AT&T crapware, and we don't know that they'll jack it like that yet.

None of what they did on the Backflip was irreversible (switching the search provider is simple and you can side-load apps if you download the Android SDK), that phone just sucked either way so people focused on that.They could make it harder to root than existing Desire variants in Europe tho, but w/e. I'd live w/that for slightly better hardware and a cheaper price.]]>May 4th 2010 1:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/htc-legend-coming-to-atandt-according-to-fcc/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/htc-legend-coming-to-atandt-according-to-fcc/
Buying subsidized is roughly equivalent to buying on credit anyway. At least on a credit card you have the option of paying it off early.

not in my opinion. See my whole point is I'm going to be with ATT for 2 years anyway. So getting a subsidized phone saves me money vs buying an unlocked one with no subsidy.

Now if att offered cheaper rates for non subsidized phones when you're not in a contract like Tmobile does then yes it would be beneficial..
