I say high-end phone, strictly because I will use it more throughout the day than I would a tablet.
Tabs are nice, even more so when you factor in 4g. I don't see tabs replacing high end phones so much as I see thenm replacing low end netbooks and laptops. I would not go back to a basic talk/text only phone because I use my phone for Pandora, mp'3s and Nav in the car and web access anywhere. A tab would be too big to carry with me everywhere, I would find myself saying " I should have brought my tab" where I always have my phone.
that being said I hope to have both

Very true I don't really need a tablet I'm 15 and bought myself a nook color and love it. I cant see tablets taking over either but they sure are fun

Hi guys, I am looking for a cheap android tablet, nothing too complex, and noticed amazon are releasing the Kindle fire in a month.
I have not been game enough to buy a no name android tablet (of which there are plenty online < $200.. but have been stung with dodgey generic crap in the past...
Does anyone have any hot tips for a sub $200 tablet that is decent quality?
Is the amazon Kindle Fire an open android os, or is it locked down.. ie can I install any app I like?
The Amazon Fire, has a ton of features for the price, with a dual-core and access to amazons special stuff. The only thing is, is that it does not have the Android Market, so if u want to download a lot of apps, you must get them of amazon app store or get the .apks of the web. If I helped please thank me.

should I get a kindle fire? or save my money?
Depends
What do you want to do with it? I have one and like it, but then again I have a lot of content from Amazon. Is it an iPad? Never. Is it an Android tablet...not really, it can be rooted but the lack of storage hurts it, but for $200 it is perfect.
i want to have one too...
you should get one. it's awesome e-reader!
fire sucks
I would hold out for a real tablet. I've used a friends fire and even though its technically android you don't have access to standard apps (like gmaps) or the play store unless you root. Plus the lack of storage makes it useless for someone like me. With a real tablet you would have full size usb ports for stick drives and stuff, or to usb tether to your smartphone. Tablets will have a camera for video chatting too. If you just want an ereader you can get a normal kindle or nook for under a hundred bucks, and you can still read in sunlight.

Alright, I recently upgraded to a Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100T and was immensely impressed. I had the option of getting a Galaxy S3, but it looked abit ugly in my opinion
What's happened now, is that I have a spare Acer Liquid Metal that I use as a door-stopper and paperweight. I was wondering, is there anything cool that I can do with it apart from selling it?
It doesn't have too high specs, after all, I did get it for $128 AUD. The basic specs are the following:
-800Mhz Single Core Scorpion
-Adreno 205 GPU
-800x480 screen
On top of that, it's rooted and has t&l metal 2.3.6 with TechnoLover's kernel running on top of that.
Comment on what you think I'd be able to do with it, thanks
i will be sell it and change other one or bue a new phone
you can give those who need a phone or you can deal with it as a second hand
You can use it as an android Touch.

Try a website like gazelle.com
Or recycle it at a Staples or Best Buy
There are also a lot of devs that can use old phones as test platforms when developing apps. I'd recommend finding some projects you'd like to support and ask the dev if they'd like to have your old phone for testing on.
Consider converting it into an mobile audio player
I loaded up an old smartphone with mp3 files, including music and audiobooks, and paired it with a motorola roadster portable speaker (around $50-$70). I then dropped my satellite radio subscription, so now, when I'm out and about, I'm able to listen to just the music I want to hear, with no commercials, come-ons, or monthly fees - including data overage fees resulting from streaming content from the internet. I originally stopped using the smartphone because it was a lousy phone. Makes a very good in-car audio player, though.
sure you l get a buyer ..not one....................... more guys are rushing for an android cell......:good::laugh:
use it as a universal remote for a media centre

Sell it, or donation it to a project you will could use it , you could install linux on it and get a full pocket computer! (See my project in sig) or use it as some form of controller if you have devices that can use it (many smart devices etc support this)
Sell it would be best unless you wan to save it for a spare! The price shld fetch you some accessories or something for your current phone!

you can give those who need a phone or sell in ebay
Root it, put an awesome rom on it, install all your apps and stuff you use regularly and keep it as a back up phone. You never know when yours will break or go missing, its ALWAYS a good idea to have a back up phone that already has all your stuff on it... Good rule of thumb would be to add any new apps and phone numbers to this phone once a month, just in case. You may need to run somewhere while flashing a new rom to your GSII, so you can just throw your sim in this phone and your good to go! So my vote says keep it as a backup.
I always keep a spare device or two, just in case something goes wrong in my primary device. Also, I can lent it to friends in need of a cellphone until they get a new.
i would sell it as well..
Old phone use

I have an old HTC Incredible with no phone service that I use in place of my iPod Touch and as a VoIP phone with Google Voice and Talkatone on WiFi.

Just keep it? You'll never know what kind of information people can recover from you phone storage.

I'm going to go off contact soon I want to know. The most cost effective way to get a new devices. I want to do some mobile game and check email stuff like that. At the moment I have a wilds fire s It works OK. I was looking at a Nexis 7 with a portable hot spot. Or the 3g ver. If I went this route I would be useing some kind of voip. I do a lot of manual work so Im a bit. Worried about the size and it getting damage. When you move into a phone the price shoots up a lot then I have to start looking into the used market like eBay. I would even use a iPod touch If need be but would like to stay with the Android platform. I don't mind a contact so much but prepaid see much cheeper I guess if I do get a contract I would get some kind of service plan. Just in case I know people ask this question all the time but it seems like tablets and phones get release on a weekly bases and it hard to keep track of it all. Thanks much

The best no contract device and service is hands down the Huawei Mercury on Cricket...It is a underrated high end device, i recommend it to anyone,the only drawback is it doesnt have very much dev support yet but were working on it...here are the specs http://www.gsmarena.com/huawei_m886_mercury-4381.php
