hi
Hi sorry if this is the wrong place to as this question but kindly advise
im planning to buy anew Android phone preferably a HTC(no offense to other brands its just the feeling that a known devil is better than an unknown angel that's all i have been using HTC for around 2yrs and absolutely no problem till date)
i was looking at the tatoo but it seems to be same as my jade with android but it seems to be the only affordable for me so can any one kindly advise on which one to buy
i would have been really happy if i could get android os for my jade but it seems to be an impossibility as of now and my crazy itch to buy anew phone and a android is kinda taking over(the wife is gona kik my A**)
Well, if I Were to make a speculation without being biased.. I would say Flash 10 is coming soon enough and according to Adobe the only 2 android phones strong enough to run the full package are the Nexus and the Moto Droid. All the other models (HTC etc.) are running flash light which is a half baked memory hog.. 'but it works'.
Also, 99% of the applications/mods I have seen are working on the Droid or compiled specifically for the droid.
In the case of you being a 'I dont want to or need to root' person I would say simply... If your going to build a computer.. would you build a 486 or a pentium 3 OR would you build something that will at the least run the current existing and immediate next gen software?
Hope Ive helped you out.

If the OP wants HTC, why not the Desire? Aiui HTC make both the Nexus for Google & the Desire under their own brand; the two are virtually identical wrt hardware, with the Desire being described by some as the Nexus with HTC's Sense ui added. OTOH the Nexus might get more timely updates than HTC's phones.

hi
thanks for ur kind reply but both the phones u mentioned are also quite costly as they have been recently introduced in my country ie India
so i think i will wait for another 6months usually their is a big drop in price around that time
thank for ur kind advise
a X10i would do the job right
x10 is good now, but will get even better with android 2.1 or 2.2!

Except that 2.1 will be released in september.
I would advise not to get the Nexus One. The Nexus One has broken multi-touch (because of the sensor that it uses), poor build quality (touchscreen messing up, weird tint on the touchscreen, paint chipping off, etc), and is showing its age already in the USA.
The HTC devices may have flash lite now (I'm talking about the ones that have HTC SENSE) but they are upgradeable to the latest full flash 10.1 once it comes out.
I would go with the HTC Desire or HTC Legend for now but in the USA T-Mobile USA will release the MyTouch Slide (made my HTC) and it will have the same specs as the Nexus One except it will have a 600 mhz processor versus a 1 ghz processor but it has an external keyboard. If you want that, then you can buy it unlocked.
thanks to all who replied
hi
thanks to all who have been kind enough to reply
but looks like all the phones u have advised on are currently too costly in my country(India) around 400 -500$ roughly its kinda costly for me so i have no other option to may be wait for some time till they do come down in price and it does happen all new phones come down on price in about 3-6 months of their intro but thanks guys it was very very nice of you to give me ur kind advise but i dont know why but if i buy i think it would mostly be a HTC brand some how im very happy with my experience with this brand
thanks again guys so nice of you to give me such nice advise
Simple choice...
HTC Desire. IMHO.
I ordered a SIM free HTC Tattoo today. I have 8 months left on my current 18 month contract with my SE W995 which does pretty much most of what I need however I wanted a phone I could use Spotify on and maybe a few other apps. I was torn between the iPhone (yes I know...) and the HTC Desire, both of which I would need to buy SIM free for £400-£450 but in the end I opted for the HTC Tattoo which while limited in specs compared to my other options it'll still do every thing I need from at at only £180! I may get a new phone when my contract ends, but for now I wanted something inexpensive.
would it cost too much to invest in the Motorola Milestone?
thats the out-of-the-US counterpart to the Droid. same hardware but running Android 2.0.1
just throwing that out there.
also, I'm sure you could find a MyTouch or another htc smartphone on eBay for quite cheap.

You know... good phones are bound to be expensive ...
I'm in a country with similar situation as yours (billions of people!) and I can fully understand the pain you are suffering: want to buy a fair device with reasonable prices.
HTC phones are not cheap at all. Try find a Italian version Dream in gray market. It it old and not fully-functioned like these mentioned above, but its price is also cheaper:250USD in my country with much of the playable features.

Actually, these days, it seems that everything anyone wants to do or figure out has been done before.
There is always a way around something.
Proxies, budgets, wants/needs. I'm pretty sure you could get an unlocked iPhone 3G and run Android on it (via OpeniBoot) or go with an unlocked T-Mobile G1. I'd definitely give you any spare android-running phone I had if I had an extra..... I'm sticking to the droid for as long as I can.
Also, try googling around or asking in Yahoo Answers- I'm pretty sure there's someone out there who is a non-horder who just happens to have a spare Android phone. Sorry for your luck My problem is that I can't use my awesome Droid outside of the U.S. (hence why I mentioned the Motorola Milestone, as that would really come in handy for me)

hi
thats very nice of you thanks for the same but its just a question of time and im sure id get my self some android phone u see prices do crash in my country ie india ill just wait for it to crash eg i got my jage(touch3G) for 420$ 6 months back and now its 340$ thats how it crashes here so ill wait and get mine u see i suffer from a great mobile craze so im bound to change it soom
and yes the wife is gona kik A$$
So I have a nexus right now and been yearning for something new for a fee months. I am on t mobile and eligible for a new phone. I actually want a dual core phone but I'm feeling so impatient. And if this phone is coming out now I doubt t mobile will release something better for atleast a few more months after that. So I would be able to get it for 150 on contract. I might be able to sell my nexus for like 250 so I wont be spending any money on that upgrade. Now, my other option is getting an atrix unlocked for full retail price of 500 and use it on t mobile. I don't want to leave to t mobile I like it for some reason. Even though I could get 15 percent off any carrier. But that aside what do you guys think. Because another option also is then sell the s 4g and buy the next good phone falt out and I might end up just paying a difference of 200 or something.
I would wait for galaxy s 2. My N1 can wait another 6 month. I am sure it will be by mid summers.

I can't wait that long damn. I'm desperate already.
Same here, I really want to get another phone on T-Mobile. Personally, I'm not a fan of Samsung, if I had to get one, I'd get the Nexus S (at least the software is managed by Google). Try flashing a custom ROM or something if you haven't already to breath some new life into your phone. I think I'd be worth the wait for something like the LG Optimus 2x/3D or the HTC Pyramid.
Yea I rooted my phone first week I got it. But its been a year already. I would like the optimus but didn't it come out in Europe like a month ago?
Samsung phones look like they were bought from the dollar-store ... just get an HTC/LG
The Galaxy S2 comes out in Europe in February/March. IMO the Atrix will be better, but meh. The LG Optimus 2X also looks very good.
i'm actually sort of in the same boat. i broke my n1 a month ago, and wasnt planning on getting anything new til the optimus or the pyramid.
but now i'm tired of using my HD2 with android, and wanting to get something immediately. cant decide between g2/myt4g or the 4gvibrant. i'm sort of leaning towards the vibrant but the lack of a trackpad or flash is the only thing that is making me hesitate.
i'm also definitely buying the pyramid whenever it comes out, this phone would essentially just be tiding me over till then.
I was in the same boat as well. I wanted to wait for the dual cores before buying a brand new phone so I decided to look for an HD2 to put Android on. It took about two weeks of Craigslist hunting before I got a good deal on one(190 with all the original access. including 16gb sd). I'm running a gingerbread rom on this thing and love it plus it will be pretty easy to get my money back for it in a couple months when the new phones start to hit.
Wait for next generation of nexus...
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Dam I think I should wait a little more. The s4g is such a small update that I would be wasting my eligibility for something like it. And hd2? Naw I put android on it for my gf and I much rather have my nexie.

hi everyone,
i have a quick question, i just upgraded my phone to the nexus s from sprint, they give me 13 days to return if i wanted to do that, the main reason i got this phone was for the NFC chip to be able to use google wallet, however i got it and i can't even use it becasue the prepaid card from google wallet is not working i called them and they say that the system is down and it wouln't go back on for about 2 weaks.
My question is do you guys think i should stay with this phone or i should bring it back and exchange to the galaxy s2 epic 4g?
thanks for all of your input on this.

I'd prefer a Nexus phone over anything. An unlockable bootloader if you want to flash your own ROM's and the fastest OTA's if you want to stay stock.
The only phone worth exchanging it for is the Galaxy Nexus, in my opinion. But I don't really see the need yet. The Nexus S is a great phone, even though the specs may be less astonishing than many new phones.

Thanks man i appreciated.
anybody else have any more sugestion about this?
You could take it back and wait on Sprints GN

i heard that its going to be a will before that come out
I think the Nexus is definitely worth keeping. It's a great size, and there is still a massive amount of developing being done. Keep it ... you won't regret it.
Gs2 will be upgraded ics soon
If you have enough money, the answer is gs2
Stick with it!

thanks everybody for the replays
When I first got my NS4G I got bored of it quick. I was used to HTC Sense. I have almost traded it and/or sold it many times, but when it gets down to it I CANNOT part with this phone. The Nexus is one of the greatest phones. Pure Google, no Sprint or Samsung bloatware. I have learned so much with this phone.
Hello Guys ,
i had a HTC INCREDIBLE S i dropped it and it screen showed nothing tried screen replacement and all , So i trashed it in the store room
I am looking for a phone now my budget is pretty moderate <200$

Exactly better try there..

I have a rooted, good condition, sensation 4G with Android hd rom and tons of apps. Switched to sprint from tmob and have no use for it anymore. Volume rocker works, but buttons broke off... Too many fastboot boots, lol. Not a scratch on the screen. $75 sounds fair.

Recently went to a yard sale and found a Nexus S for sale $5 Guy said his kid messed it up that it didn't turn on. I thought to my self what the heck and bought it when I got home I went on XDA. It was a simple thing all I had to do was access boot screen and do a reset. Working great..
But now i have a question to any who read this. Now so far all I know is that is Sprint Nexus S but I see there is also a 4g I know its a dumb question but where would I find it. Now my new mission for the week is finding out before I start flashing Roms. So far I have a Galaxy 2, a Nexus S, hopefully soon Galaxy 4 and the phone that started my addition Galaxy S Captivate.
Any one have any good ROM,apps, and kernal recommendations would appreciate.
