I Would like to know if the nexus can compete with all these giants in an efficient way when rooted. I hear about evo 4g Droid incredible and x but hardly my baby nexus I bought unlocked from Google. I have not rooted it yet but could care less for the warranty. I want a smartphone that deserves respect in every way. What can be done blessed developers to get the rooted way up there with the new evo 4 and Droid x????

T-Mobile just confirmed a sidekick 4G android device will be coming in the next few months
http://www.gizmocrunch.com/android/4841-samsung-galaxy-4g-htc-sidekick-t-mobile
It sounds interesting, I have had a sidekick before and the design is hot imo however the software (danger OS) was terrible the market had no apps compare to android.
So what you guys think about this? Do you see potential in the device since its android afterall, and don't come comment things like "its a teenager phone" because I've seen old people with it before LOL

the only thing I see not making me excited is the possibility that htc won't be making it, we all know that the best processors are currently made by htc and samsung, and I only buy htc phones! lol

When the Sidekick was released, apps were not an issue, it was never really an issue. In fact, I am sure that it decline because the iPhone was a smartphone that didn't feel like you were carrying around a brick. I had the Sidekick 3 which was released in 2006, it was heavy, but it was a pretty cool phone despite the fact it was not exactly portable.
Also, neither Samsung or HTC will make the next Sidekick (lack of involvement with the brand is one reason). Most likely it will be either Sharp or Motorola. Leaning towards Sharp because they didn't have issues with their Sidekick versions.
Fun fact, the guy behind Android founded Danger Inc.
I had the Sidekick 08 from launch all the way up until a couple months ago when I purchased the myTouch 4g. I enjoyed the phone while I had it, never had any problems with it(except for the whole data loss incident). I got the MT4G because the sidekick had been worn out over the past years, but it was a good phone
If htc ain't making than no sidekick for me lmao but we still don't know for sure any one could make this new sidekick we'll see!

This is awesome news!!
I had the latest sidekick Lx and I loved it, still love that keyboard for texting, i miss it ):
Do you all think they will have still have that flip screen.
I recently had to use one and let me tell you i hated every minute of it.
See I like a lot of people text when we arent suppose to. Having to flip that screen everytime to send a text was painful. I really dont see how kids get away with texting in class.

Know?
Droid X performs tons of HTC devices. And that's a Motorola. Droid X is about equal to the MT4g in power.
I hope Samsung makes the Sidekick. Super AMOLED FTW! Plus it's gonna be Andy Rubin's baby. Which means... Stock Android ?! It could be like the Nexus S with a keyboard epic win
Makes sense to me that it would be running android though not only is it the best os in my opinion but the guy who brought you the sidekick UI is now in charge of Google's user experience department. I hope for one hope HTC busts out the sidekick I never owned one and always wanted one, and although Sombionix and Team Whiskey bust out some great roms for my phone I don't think I'll go the Samsung route again.
Dank Ups
Vibrant Galaxy S
Doin that Voodoo that it do so well with Bionix V5

And your wish just came true stock android and unfortunately (for me ofcourse) its made by samsung! With the super amoled btw no offense I just don't like samsung so I won't buy this new sidekick you will lol
That sounds pretty sweet! Physical kbs are always nice.
Yea I'm not saying its bad its just I like htc better but it looks good for samsung fans at least its better than sharp making the sidekick, and I love that it has a ffc but guess what and this really inffuriates me...... no flash on the cam wtf at this age

Ok so here's the rub. I literally like almost a month ago got my HTC Glacier and my t mobile service. I'm now done with it. I absolutely love the phone but hate the service here. I'm keeping it as a pay as I go phone just to mess around with android and to help me learn without worrying about bricking my only phone but I am moving to sprint service.
Which means.... Anyone, anyone? New phone!!!
My choices are the
1. HTC EVO 4G (not the shift) which I'm leaving towards.
2. NEXUS S 4G By Google which has a smaller screen than the EVO.
3. Kyocera ECHO ... two screens bro this thing is sweet but...
So anyone with these phones please post a review.
I want a phone with a lot of sport from communities like xda.. One that is as fast as my current phone.. A big screen, no keyboard, just touch screen. A good sharp display, responsive touch screen...
Like I said I'm leaving towards the evo but I've heard good things about the nexus s...
So can you guys please help me decide?
Edit: should I maybe wait for the EVO 3D to come out or is it not worth it
get the Evo4G. Has a great following and is officially supported by CM7 nightlies. I wouldnt bother with the Evo3D because if im not mistaken it has a locked bootloader. (caused the big community uproar and HTC finally saying they have no plans to lock down a android phone again).
I'd say get the EVO4G. My mother has one, and I've fiddled with it a little bit and I'd say its by far the best android phone I've ever touched with my non-worthy hands, besides my Hero of course. Look up some reviews they're everywhere.
First post woot.
I've got an Echo. It's a great phone. Battery life is on par with the Evo and it's not laggy contrary to what most people say.
K so the 3d is locked?
Ok I think I'll go with the evo 4g.. the echo is cool but.. i think the evo will have more community support
HTC has said by email that the 3D will NOT be locked. It's by far the biggest reason behind the whole campaign/whinefest we had. :] If the 3D ships locked with no way to unlock it officially, HTC will get a backlash for worse than what we did before. With Radioshack's tentative 24th release, I would say wait just a little longer... at least until the EVO 4G drops in price on and off-contract.
Edit, I wanted to post source on Peter Chou's confirmation!

Htc now a days be making android device that get outdated quickly in 1 year or 6 months. Unlike Samsung and motorola that doesnt.
Wow, nexus S all the way
Nexus s it ok phone, but if u want stock their plenty of option like sony ericcson xperia play on Verizon is stock gingerbread or Nexus one. you can hack galaxy phone which is the same as nexus s to get stock roms in it...
I am getting Sprint for sure. They are the only carrier I haven't had problems with. Cuz I haven't used them. I want an HTC phone the most. I've used a Motorola droid2 global and I flicking hate it. I think I'll wait for the evo3d.
Hah, you'll have problems with customer service. :X

Hey guys!
I now this question isnt about the NS, but sence you guys apparently have the same taste in phones as me, I found it best to ask for you guys opinion.
I'm looking for a new phone, and was ofcourse concidering the Galaxy Nexus. But then the HTC One X was announced. The thing is that the Galaxy Nexus is still more expensive than the HTC One X here in Norway, and I do belive that the HTC One X packs more "horsepower" than the Galaxy Nexus anyway.
I was also thinking bout the Samsung Galaxy III, but sence Samsung support on updates are less than ****, i quickly discarded the idea.
Any thoughts ?
Cheers!
I would wait until you can walk into a store and play with both of them. Don't let the supposed faster updates of the Nexus line sway you. After about a year those promises are left empty anyway. There are multiple phones that will get ICS before the Nexus S does so thinking about Jelly Bean...you will just as likely get it on another manufacturers device before you will on the Galaxy Nexus.
The nice thing about an HTC phone is you will most likely have the option of running Sense ROMS or AOSP roms if there is enough development which there most likely will be now that bootloaders are easily unlocked. I had this choice when I had my Evo Shift and it was nice depending on my mood.
I am in the same boat between the Galaxy Nexus and the HTC One X. It really depends on Sprint's schedule for me at this point and whether they will carry the HTC One X.
Ive played around with the GN, as a friend of mine just bought it. Its a nice phone, with a much better build quality than the NS. Very fast and responsive, but nothing mindbogeling, when compared to the NS. I imagine that the HTC One X is a better phone i every aspect when it comes to specs, over the GN?
I'm so confused that I need help on making up my mind.
I'm up and I have the Droid X right now which runs just fine rooted, etc. I have $100 credit with Verizon yet I will loose $30 due to upgrade and new Verizon policies.
I'm stuck though. Keep my phone until start of new year or go ahead and get what is out now and back into a 2 year.
If I did get one now it would be either the Galaxy nexus, HTC rezound and then last choices would be the iphone 4S and Droid razor.
But, I just don't known if I should uprade now or just wait awhile.
I guess it depends.. I personally love android devices for the awesome features like free app development. But the Iphone has us on the games department though
If you do, iPhone 4S and Galaxy Nexus are the best of those, but the Nexus is huge!
Sent from my GT-P7310 using Tapatalk 2
Iphone would be my last choice. Yeah I understand that the Nexus and Razor are a tad bit bigger then my DX. HTC rezound looks to be the ruffly the same size as my DX and has good hardware specs and they say the camera is really good.

Hello xda community!!! im due for an upgrade on Sprint and i don't know what phone I should get. I had an EVO before and loved how easy it was to root. Then I got an EVO 3D and I hate it. I'm a little scared to brick the phone to root it and I miss all the root apps I paid for. So what should i get to replace the 3D? I love HTC phones but then again that's all I've owned since the days of my Blackberry Curve. I want something easy to root. I'm confident in using commands thru cmd so it doesn't have to be a one click method so long as the bootloader is unlocked. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks in advance for your help.
Unfortunately HTC is one of those companies which make their phones harder to root and do stuff, with that dang hboot and s-on/s-off.
Motorola has locked bootloaders but it appears they want to undo their reputation with their new bootloader unlock portal, but that currently only has the Photon Q (which is on sprint if you want a physical keyboard).
Galaxy Nexus is easy to root thanks to it being a Nexus and there's also the SGS3. They're both samsung and you said you like HTC which does happen to have good build quality. Samsung is the opposite. They love plastic

S3
I would highly reccomend the S III. The S II has been great to me and there are a ton of developers out there for these phones. Aside from that the S III has great specs!!
i suggest if you want something easy too root you should get a lg optimus. the optimus is not the most powerful phone but it literally takes less than 5 minutes to root. It is also very cheap in price.
I'd suggest the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, for me is fantastic!
Samsung Galaxy (S2/S3/Nexus) Phones or HTC phones One(X,S,XL,Sensation,Evo,Other...) the best.. Root is verry just ...
