Need New Smart Phone

If you want to stay with AT&T, and you want to get a phone now, then go with this:Samsung Galaxy S (TM) II Cell Phone - from AT&T.

If you can wait a bit then like others have said more options will be available, including the new iPhone 5, which is supposed to be 4G capable.

I have the Sprint version (GS2 Epic 4g Touch), and love it. Fast , killer screen , and easy to use.

Sent from my electronic Swiss Army knife.

Cool, thanks guys. Yeah, I'll probably wait. I'm usually the type to hold out until the timing and cost effeciency is right.

Looking through your list I suggest looking at the new windows phones. If you're big on social media then I think you'll enjoy the UI for WP7. All the Facebook, twitter, 4square, ect. stuff are all integrated into the phone by default. Your friends lists on FB gets automatically put into your phone contacts, and your contacts have built in "pages" on your phone that gives you their recent updates. People complain about the wp7 apps, but honestly I've gone from never using my phone for games to downloading at least one app a month since switching to wp7. The UI is really easy to get used to, and very user friendly. Since the Mango update I've not had a single issue with my phone speed or locking up. Nokia just released(or will soon release, not sure) the Lumnia 800 which I hear is a great phone, but if you're looking for a bigger device I'd go with the Titan(which I think is now free with a 2 year) or the Titan 2.

If you want flash support, Android is the way to go, but Adobe is discontinuing flash for mobile devices in favor of HTML5 soon.
Any 4G(LTE) smartphone will do it for ya if you want speed, and most of the new phones (not a budget phone) will serve you with little lag.

Honestly, I'd choose the Galaxy S II Skyrocket over the Galaxy S II. But both phones are good.
If you want a kick, the Galaxy Note is pretty darn tempting too

Only if you want a huge screen and a digitizer in case you need to use a stylus. It's a hybrid phone/tablet essentially. They're still waiting on Ice Cream Sandwich to be officially released (android 4.0) for the note.

Why you iphone? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FL7yD-0pqZg

i dunno about iphones but, droidx is pretty solid.

Really any dual core is solid and should be the primary feature you look for. Do NOT settle for a single core, dispite the assurances youll get from people, they are just ignorent of pure bliss that is so termed 'dual core'.

Agreed. I have the Charge (single core) and my brother has the Bionic (dual core) and you can tell the difference. Unfortunately time constraints to get grandfathered into unlimited data made me buy the Charge instead of the Bionic so I will put my blinders on and say that the Charge is still great!

Sprint is your friend....unlimited everything...texts, data, phone minutes. That was a huge factor in picking out my phone. I had bad luck with AT+T (no service at my house.....go one block any direction, and I would have full signal), and Sprint had a fantastic signal where AT+T didn't.
