I know the cellphone’s technology change quickly,but I’m really tired to change cellphone.I have used the Simens,Sharp,Samsung before,but all of them have many problem.So do u have any idea of which brand’s cellphone can use as long as it can?
If you're going to get an Android device and have a bit of patience, I'd say wait until Q4 2010.
I know it's a huge pain (heck, I've been playing the waiting game for years now) but it is obvious that a big technological leap is on the way: higher resolution, dual-core processors, better display technologies and Android 3.0 (which means no longer being dependent on OEMs). It's the first time in years that I can look at cell phone specs and say "Hey... this actually looks relatively futureproof".
Nokia candybar phones last a long time, and my htc blueangel has been used daily since 2004, and still works fine

more complex devices= more power and more bugs.
I know MANY people in proffesional environements that are still using old Nokia 61xx/62xx phones. These monochrome display phones still do about 9 years on 1 charge and allow you to read "War and Peace" on the talk time.... oh and they don't crash either and never require rebooting!
edit:
linky to picture
HTC Leo!!!
Capable of running Android too
Moto phonese last forever. I have one that programs music in midi, they;re really hardy as well. If you just need to make calls, this is a good brand to get.
Thank u guys!I just hesitate with Nokia and HTC...btw,where u guys think is better to buy the cellphone?I mean cheaper and good quality..In store or online shop?

What? You mean you don't want a 10 year old phone? WHY???
I doubt you will beat an online price but that would depend very much on your country I guess?
i bought a iphone from an online marketplace whose name seemd to be Topons, and it is still used without any problem though it is cheap.lol... am I a lucky guy?
If it's the genuine device and not some knock-off then I don't see why a phone obtained from any source would be more reliable than any other (assuming the same software etc.).
Probably a blackberry.
The problem with the iphone is you cannot remove the battery.
I kind of feel this thread is a lost cause.
Phones (all tech for that matter) will keep being replaced. You cant buy future proof technology! A top end PC is good for what a year? two years?
A mobile phone a year if your lucky, half a year...?
A TV a few years before something better?
You cant buy a phone now, that will not be 'under-spec' in as little as two years time!
The question you should ask your self is do you really need a more 'powerful' phone, or could you live with what you have now for the next few years?
I own a HTC HD2, and I can honestly say I'll want a new, more 'powerful' phone in a few years to play higher quality video, better games ect.
But do you want that?
My dad is 'tech savi' but hes still using a Sony Ericsson K800i. Because it does everything he needs! (having said that he is getting a desire this year... lol)
As for the build quality, you'd be lucky to find any phone that wont be dead after a few years use! Unless your super careful...
Having said that, that K800i has had a hard life and still works perfectly and looks fine...
Its all about what you need from your device. Technology will just keep advancing.

Post = epic win
I still see people using moto razr's, even razr2's. If your not a phone geek and just want a decent reliable phone to make calls and text on, those seem to be the most popular.
I agree with the above post also, if you want something a little more 2010 and future proof, a Blackberry is a good choice too.
It's best to go for the phones that are the most advanced now, such as the nexus one, desire, iPhone 4 and such, cause they will get updates for a long time, and it will be some time before they become out-dated beyond use. For example, the Nexus One and the HTC Desire shall be able to use Android 3.0, Gingerbread, while the others won't.
And go for something like Android, cause with the ROMs and such that are out there, you can easily change its ROM and it will feel like you've bought a new mobile.

As the title says I have just brought a new touch pro 2 and I like its keyboard very much. I also have my touch hd and was thinking of selling it but the trade your phone in places will pay £140 and I am wondering if there is any reason I should keep my touch hd?
Do any of you have 2 phones and if so why?

Hi there, i have a TP2 and an Diamond, so that if I brick my TP2, i still have something to mod
It just makes sense to have a backup
What a strange question?
I keep 3 devices (on my sig) because I like them, that´s it

140 that is a ripoff ebay it if you dont want it. also i really like phones i would keep them. just look at my sig.
I keep two smartphones and a dumb phone just in case (a moto razr), check my sig. I keep my dash usually as a back up if i need to go somewhere and im in the middle of flashing my kaiser. That and i flash my kaiser a lot, so if something goes terribly wrong i still have a smartphone i can use. I'd keep it, just in case.

I have actually been asking myself the same question lately as I expect the HTC Supersonic to come out and I have a touch pro 2. For me the question boils down to the following. I need a GPS, I want something i can comfortably surf/watch movies on while I am on the go, I like using my touch pro 2 as a MP3 player, I like using a phone as a email device/RSS reader and I like using my phone as a mobile Instant messenger device and for keeping up with my Facebook.
The problem is I can't use 1 phone to do all things at the same time. I can GPS or I can phone or I can use it as wifi hotspot or I can chat, or I can MP3...
With 2 phones I can GPS on either one and use the other as a phone. When not phoning I can hotspot so on so forth.
Looking at things from the oppositte perspective, I can take viliv s5 or a dell mini 5 and do everything I want to do but phone at the same time. If I get it with 3G I can even hotspot with the mini.
SO I am strongly leaning towards getting a MID device.
Have 2 and right now the Hermes is just a backup.

Those two are good phones, but why do you like the Excalibur? It doesn't look good.
Excalibur is my wife´s telephone and it´s really good one for someone that needs basic functions only
As you can see keyboard devices are my choice
I think most on here have more than one phone, I have a whole host of winmo phones in my collection:
XDA
M1000
2 x Athena
Touch HD
Omnia
Hermes
Spv
Plus a couple of windows PDA's
Next month will be getting an iphone for the wife to use, april will get a desire.

It's a classic device modded more than any other SP of it's time Very well made with a great hardware keyboard
3 in sig as i don't see the point in selling to get a menial amount of money also like to have a back up.
Just like orb3000 the gf uses the Excalibur
i have 3 devices i never really use 2 i have a xda2 i never use not in like 3 years a blackberry curve 8900 i might swap back to soon and current a touch hd. but as soon as i get my android device i will use that as well so 4. but theres no point in me selling any of my devices i will just spend the money on more phones and if i sell my blackberry 8900 id probly get £150 i can't get any phone for that money that would be better than my 8900
Well it depends if you like your second phone or not. If it's sitting gathering dust and you don't have a use for it, I'd suggeest ebaying it as anything gathering dust is just wasted money. As with cars and general tech gadgets they all generally drop in price in time. So if don't have a use for it you are better selling it off sooner rather than later to recoup your purchase.
I have two lines, so the HD2 for my personal, the iPhone 3GS for my work line, and then the Hero is my extra phone.
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.

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)

XDA ! If I were to buy a new phone, well actually PDA tbh, which one would it be?
I was thinking about Android 2.2, screen >= 3.7 inches preferebly with multi-touch capability, GPS, 1ghz CPU...
So generally I was thinking about Galaxy S, Nexus One...
What do you think XDA?
I think you should use google and youtube to get both detailed specs and then VIDEOS of all the phone you are interested in. We can give you our opinion all day long but it doesn't mean crap at the end of the day. YOU are going to be using the phone, not us.
This is a personal device we are talking about man. When it's all said and done, it's YOUR personal preference as to what you get. Do the research, buy what YOU want and you will be happy with it.

@Travikk
Almost all high-end phones have those specs u mentioned up there. My suggestion would be check out the hw/sw issues of each of the handset you have in mind. Decide whether you can do away with those issues. Some issues could be too critical for you to be ignored but not for someone else.

Been there, I had my old smartphone destroyed and went to a simple tracfone samsung slider. Lasted 2 years Then I got an Optimus V, and later I got an Evo 4g.
I still use a feature phone. It does its job just fine and has better battery life. I carry both with me for now.

Also most of these people are between ages 12-20. And in the cell department at the store i work they refer to 'trac phones' as 'crack phones'. good old burner cells, what would drug dealers do without them
A few months.... until I get a new pc.
2007.I think smartphones are stupid machinery which are bought just by some idiots who just want to spend their money anywhere or businessmen who need them.Then I saw the HTC Touch Diamond(good old times-or not so good?) and fell in love with it.
2012.I prefer to live on a diet without food for a week than live without my smartphone for a week.I have severe ORD and am on the brink of developing myopia.Still,I'm buying the S3.
I would probably be fine without a smartphone. It's a convenience to be able to have GPS, web on the go and checking my email, but really, I can surf the web and check email on my laptop. Therefore, I don't really see it as an essential part of my life, but rather a nice thing to have.
Even in 2010, I was sporting a Nokia N97 but not taking full advantage of its "smartphone" capabilities. I could probably survive without one if I had to, but life would be a hell of a lot less "connected."
Maybe that could be a good thing.
I want the BEST deal possible
I want the most bang for my buck
perhaps an up and coming release
or the most popular tablet already available.
I have nothing but time and the first tablet i bought was an ipad and it was super cheap due to an amazing deal.

Nexus 7 by a billion gazillion miles. 1080p screen, serviceable dual cameras, immediate updates, quad core GPU, stereo speakers.
Or maybe the N10? The new one isn't here yet, so you should prolly wait a little.
Currently, nobody can beat Apple at tablets, though. Just my opinion. Seems there are more apps that are optimized for the large screen.

Or maybe the N10? The new one isn't here yet, so you should prolly wait a little.
Currently, nobody can beat Apple at tablets, though. Just my opinion. Seems there are more apps that are optimized for the large screen.

lol i was JUST watching this
http://cnettv.cnet.com/8301-13484_5...efight-google-new-nexus-7-vs-apple-ipad-mini/
thanx to this video -that comes off fairly biased- Ive been doing more and more research on the nexus.
my problem with the nexus is it`s date. technology is always being updated and I would be choked if a month passed and the next best thing gets released.

For $230, you can't expect something like that to be future-proofed. What you could do is sell your old device in an emerging market, where the demand is high and supply low, and use that extra cash to upgrade frequently. But the N7 def has more to it than just the hardware. It is as close as you can get to the stock experience, so there is very little lag. And there is longer support by Google. It gets a lot of dev attention. It is also very cheap.
Seriously, if you want a good deal, the N7 is the way to go.

NOTHING better then this?
I may even pick the bugger up 2marrow.
or perhaps I'm looking for a tablet? I'm not sure if a mini tablet is whats best for me.
Any suggestions for a good cheap normal tablet?

You could wait for the Nexus 10. But yeah, there really isn't much selection as far as budget Android tablets (or any Android tablets) go.

Uhhh... you may want to think this through. While you do have a limited return period, it is best to read a good amount before investing in anything. Unless you have money to burn...

well technically i decided about 3 hours ago and have been doing none stop research. Everyones telling me nexus, i'm loving everything about nexus. 200+ dollars doesn't break the bank and i cannot find anything better.
I normally do tons of research, but i think this is an easy call right here.
took me litterely 2 months to pic out my ms g60 gaming laptop
however i was in china atm, so i probably could of chosen better, but in china that was an amazing deal.
alright
bed time, will check this thread in 7 hours.
Be sure to get the new N7 for that price by the way not the 2012 model.
