Which one? epic 4G or Droid X? - General Topics

Ughhhh. Before I was 100% of getting the droid X now that the Epic 4g came out im a little hesistant. Is the snapdragon processor slowler than hummingbird? And do you think the keyboard is worth having a smaller screen?

Don't forget about the droid 2 either. Its not out yet, but it will be within the next few months.

The phone with a real keyboard always wins in my book. I wish they would stop with the manufacturer interfaces. Stock android is all you need.

Nexus S or Droid 2 Global OR something else?

I like d2g because of the keyboard, but locked bootloader
On the other hand, nexus s got latest android os (although things may change after 1 year, just nexus one),but worse in designing
I dont know which to choose, or u have other idea(eg. droid 3 is coming)
I'm also torn. I would love the d2g but there's barely any community behind it.
wait for dual core phones
I wouldnt use either of those. I would either get the droid x or the htc evo... I have the evo amd havent had one problem with it.

Google has the best camera
It depends what you want. Think in terms of hardware and software. The Nexus S doesn't have cutting edge hardware, but its Google's example of the best Android experience they can offer on a phone at the moment. Phones like the Atrix from CES would be an uber option if you're looking for bleeding edge hardware. For me, I'm undecided about the crazy new phones coming out vs the Nexus S, when considering what Android phone to go with. A dual core phone would be pretty kick ass, but I wouldn't want to be stuck with an older, skinned version of Android and a locked bootloader.

I just left the Nexus One & upgraded to the myTouch 4G & it's an awesome phone. Absolutely no complaints by me. Depending on where you live & what service/phones available you can't go wrong with this phone.

3. MT4G
4. Epic 4G
5. Desire
If you want updates in any sort of timely matter don't get a Samsung device unless it's the Nexus S, the rest of the phones rarely ever get updated.

The Nexus S
I used the xphone the Best of All.
Made In Germany
All others are crap
I know it's not Android-native, but I think the HD2 deserves mention here
Get a big sd card, and you can have many ROMs to choose from at any time, and its very fast and stable. Not to mention that I have an Android build on my sd card with over 200 apps, and it's still faster than most native Android devices. Not to mention that it also boots Ubuntu, and Windows Mobile 6.5 or WP7 and soon Meego
If you want a very capable, customizable Android phone, check it out!!

EPIC
HD 2 or EVO. Major community support, great hardware.
Anything by Samsung does not get updates.
This thread is going exactly as expected. Let's try it this way...Instead of me saying "GET THE PHONE I USE" I'd that if you don't need a new phone immediately, and can wait a few months, check out the next gen lineup when they come out. there will be loads of comparisons between them and the current gen phones. I say you make your choice based on that.
You don't know what carrier you want to use?
What kind of features do you want?
There is no clear cut "best Android phone". The best vanilla updated phone + best GPU + best screen goes to Nexus S. But no microSD slot and can be hit or miss with GPS issues.
The fastest Android with the best processor, front facing camera goes to MyTouch 4G. But standard OS is "bloated" and the phone can have issues with permanent root sticking.
The best Android with a qwerty keyboard is either the G2 or the Droid 2 Global. But the G2 has a slower processor and less ram than the MyTouch 4G and when upside down the keyboard hangs loose. And the Droid 2 Global has eFuse with a locked Bootloader so you can't fully customize it.
The best Android that has all around "decent" hardware but no clear cut "best" anything is probably the Desire. But the processor/GPU and hardware isn't really the strongest.
You really need to tell people what you want to do with the phone and how you'll be using it.

I came from the Hero running 2.3 to the nexus myself. I can't get over the difference. It's amazing how easy it to read thing on the screen, how much bridget everything looks. Just the over-all better-ness of the phone. Do it, you won't regret it.

The evo hasalot of Dev support. But its aging hardware will be hurtfull for you after a year. Get the nexus just better over all and of coarse its a Google phone so no waiting for a port you get it first

Can't the same be said for the Nexus; hell a new nexus has already been announced. I am not partial to either one as I have access to both; simply playing devils advocate.

But the evo hardware is going to be far slower in a year than nexus hardware. The Hummingbird processor we've seen in the SGS family is by far better than what the evo is sporting.
I don't have a single concern about my Nexus S (or Epic) not being adequate in a year or two.... I have used an evo now and I already feel that it's a slow clumsy device shoe-horned into a large enclosure to attract the "hummer crowd" ... bigger is better, am i right?
I just got rid of my epic for the ns4g (cracked screen on epic). My fiancée has the EVO and I have to say its a night and day comparison. Battery on the nexus is much better. Everything is smoother, and of course the display is 100x better. The EVO is a nice phone, but hardware wise its a bit out of date.

True but right now a evo will get screwed playing angry birds with ad's with kernels and cm7. Its a nice phone but getting one now would not be a wise descion with this in the same line up

Ty everyone, the nexus being a Google phone is the big selling point to me, I do like the size of the ebo, my dad has one, but it can get a little laggy sometimes, I still have almost a year to upgrade. But the nex will still be my first choice. Unless the nrxt one comes to sprint, and has ics and dual core p:

I don't think tomorrow is a good day to get phones, since ATT has shown in the past too.many activations in one day make the system shut down and the iphone 4s is coming out, if I were you I would get it from amazon wireless is cheaper and no tax
Nexus Prime
It depends on your usage....if you travel a lot then I recommend you Not to get an android or a bada as they barely last 2 days.... you could go for a blackberry or an iPhone ..or like the others said you could wait foe the nexus prime .... goodluck!!

I'd go with the Droid 3 if she'd prefer a keyboard. It's pretty much the best qwerty slider on the market right now (in terms of specs) and by all accounts has one of the best keyboards of any phone.
And I hear you on the Droid 2 battery life. My Milestone 2 with the standard Blur'd 2.2 would drain the battery in about 6 hours while in standby. Thank god for custom roms... D:
Droid 3 is more likely...she really liked the blackberry she had besides the way Facebook and things looked ... Droid pro? Any opinions on that phone?

Well, the Droid Pro is basically the Droid 2 but with a keyboard front-and-center. That and a smaller, lower-res screen.

Samsung Galaxy S 2
the best phone on the planet, until SGS3 comes along
mu best is omia 7
Lumia 800 or dvp, 800 is the better of the two but the dvp has excellent longevity.
Best potential. HD2
Best that I've enjoyed. Vibrant once I got used to the lag. Great screen, sound, good battery, capable OS with great push support and social integration.
Worst. HD7. Poor battery and screen. Basically was a feature phone for first year. No apps, dubious browser, terrible calendar.

I used to think my Droid X was the best I ever had, but I have a DROID Incredible 2 and I love it now. I easily fall in love with my most current phone.
Samsung galaxy S, it is m first and only Android phone.
I'm still using my first Android phone, (Nexus One), so i guess it's the best one i've ever had!
Before that i had two WM phones and they were half as good as any Android device on the market today.
Galaxy S 2 by far!
I had a Nokia 3210 - you could drive over that thing and it'd still work. Built like a tank. Have a Samsung Galaxy S now, I'm careful not to drop it but the media playing and web browsing benefits when you compare the two just about balances it out
