Hello guys!At first I thought about making a poll about which you think is the most beautiful handset around here,but I realised that with the variety of devices available it would take half my life to make a poll like it!So you can post freely and say your opinion!
I want to ask of you to stay on topic if possible.This is not a thread meant to find out which has the best performance or anything else,nor for people to argue about.It's just for people's opinions to be heard.
As OP,I am posting my preference first!
Well,I think that the most beautiful device I've seen is the Diamond(the original,not Topaz).It seems like a tiny piece of modern art,like it's built to be beautiful.And it supports the saying "Diamonds are forever"!
So what's your favourite guys?

I am referring to existing phones,not concepts.If that was a real phone my friend I would be a happier man right now!
HD2
I love it cause its super slim, and has a nice quality feel to it.
The HD2 is hands down the most beautiful phone (other than the iphone I would have to add). Good size, beautiful huge screen, even the battery cover is brushed metal. Too bad they locked it to TMobile as I am with Sprint. The Evo 4g is "related" to the HD2 but is bigger in every dimension and the back is not as nice and doesn't feel as durable as the HD2.
then Leo and Rhodium!
Yeap HD2.. is by far the best looking I reckon.. nice and slick..
shame desire is so ugly..
Yeah,the Leo would be my second preference.It's a very nice looking phone,well designed and balanced despite the large screen.I own a Desire btw and,although it is a little ugly-butt,I kinda like it!
Also keep in mind that it doesn't have to be HTC.You can choose any device you like!

I disagree, I think the Evo looks superior to the HD2. The hard buttons on the bottom of the HD's interface really break up the overall look and layout of the phone, for me.
The Evo, to this point, is the best looking phone in the USA, in my opinion.
Sony Ericsson P1i, prob fave phone i ever had still use it as my second line now

Hi Guys and girls,
Before we start I do have E-bay and have 100% Track record so if i were to sell at any time of me being here on Xda.com, You can buy
With knowing i am a honest and reliable trader.
Long story cut short, I have a htc desire hd ( In sig ) And A Samsung galaxy S Being delivered on thursday. ( Phone upgrade )
Now the dilemma i am facing is this;
What phone do i keep, DHD OR SGS?
What Phone is More Future proof?
If i were to sell one ( Which i am debating on doing so as Really low on cash atm ..) What one should i sell.
Thanks for reading guys,
The end result and pro's and con's of the answers will help me decided on what phone to keep and Possibly sell the other one here.
I would keep the DHD. Better phone in my opinion but mostly because HTC have a better track record of after sales care. Both devices have good community support so that's a tick for both.
EDIT: Might be worth adding a poll to guage opinion.
I shall add a poll when I get home.
I'm on neutral ground atm, so opinions are appreciated x

Go for the Galaxy S
The Desire HD is a GREAT phone, but the Samsung Galaxy S is the fastest phone on the market at the moment. It has a great interface, and may be one of the first phones to update to 2.3, although maybe not in the US, as very few of the Galaxy S phones have Official 2.2, but they each have either custom roms or official leaks.
I use the Samsung Fascinate with 2.2.1 Official Leak and its great. I love it and will buy the next Generation of Galaxy S.
I like keeping my phones (I'm OCD that way, lol) but I had to sell one, I would sell the one I wasn't going to use as my phone.
You might also want to test each phone out to see which phone is better for you. I like phones that are fast and slim, I like Touchwiz, but I love HTC Sense. But I am willing to sacrifice having sense for the toggles on top of the Notification bar (Wifi, GPS, etc.)
If the Galaxy S ever gets an officail update to 2.3 i'll chew off my arm and eat it with ketchup!
I shall be receiving my SGS tomorrow morning Via Rm so ive gotta decide . .

Is screen size a factor for you? The DHD is bigger, but then it doesn't have the best battery life.

It is quite a large factor for me, as ive got pretty chunky fingers so would be benifitial but its only 3 cm's in int there?
.3" difference. Doesn't sound much but it's more than you think once you have it in your hands. (Ask any woman!)

There is any one who wants it.Just need the cash really so any offers considered.
Hi guys, I'm going to get a new phone, windows mobile 6.5 is really old as of now. Android seems the best and I want to get an android
So I can get Incredible S and Desire S,
Incredible S is $311 whereas Desire S is $201
I am in a dilema on which to get. I don't want to settle for a simple phone. I want the best. Which one would you guys pick? I really am tempted to get desire s as it is cheaper. But I'm afraid I'd hate the text in a 3.7inch screen as I text ALOT.
Please advice
The desire is ok, it has a bit of a problem with the internal memory, actually the 'android linux stuff' has the problem, but to cut the long story short, get the incredible because of the internal memory, otherwise they are pretty much the same, not sure about the camera, 3,7 screen is just fine.
or the desire Z
as for the best it'll be the htc pyramid not far off since its twin , the evo3d is already out
i am really satisfied with my desire running leedroid,its a matter of personal taste but htc sense is my favourite launcher
I have a desire HD and love the extra screen real-estate. Some people feel it's too big for their pockets - I recommend visiting a retailer and playing with them and decide on that. Doesn't mean you have to buy from them
as long as its a desire you'll be happy
DROID 2 GLOBAL looks fantastic tbh
Especially if you will be signing a contract on this phone, I like to future-proof myself as much as possible. Have a feeling the Inc S will give you more mileage.
theres so many phones out there now adays but i think its really a toos uip between iphone and andriods
hey think also in the future when u will want to sell it ..wich one do you think will resist more?
I am thinking about selling my slide after getting another phone...looking online I am thinking about getting a Sensation....I think it is a good phone not to mention official ICS and then there is Eclipse with sense 4.0 for it....I would like to get the galaxy s2 but ehhh not sure i want to spend that sort of money....looks like i can get a Sensation around 250..should be able to get 300 i think for the slide...rooted...if I play it wisely....what are your guys thoughts on the sensation vs. slide I don't ever use the keyboard so yeah....

That's the truth, depends on the preference. The phones are basically the same (1.2ghz processor, 786MB RAM, 8mp cam, front facing cam, etc). Sensation has a bigger screen resolution, so if you prefer that to the physical keyboard then yeah, go for it. Don't know how ROMs are on it but I'm sure you've done your research. I use my keyboard a fair amount. Hate that good sliders are a dying breed...
The sensation has one of bthe most roms. Sense 3.0 sense 3.5 sense 4.0. Miui. Aosp. Aokp. Cm7. Cm9.

I switched from the MT4GS to the Sensation and I can tell you that it doesn't suck. The only limitation is the lack of keyboard, because otherwise the developer support is unparalleled. Anything you could want, you can get with this phone. True, the camera isn't as good as the slide, but it's serviceable. The screen is nicer and larger than the slide. Doesn't come with Swype natively though, you have to download it. But you'll enjoy the amount of ROMs they have that all function well. i literally have never experienced lag, but I was off of stock within minutes

Yeah looking at the Dev and wow...could not believe the 100+ page threads...and active work....and yeah with swype I can probably count the time on my finger I used the physical keyboard....and camera wise...i have a digital camera for a reason....

Reading your thread I think you bought wrong phone for yourself. Apparently you don't need keyboard at all.
Few days ago I was playing with Sensation. I don't know why some guys said it here, but the one I have played with did NOT feel laggy at all. I passed on it because I prefer actual keyboard.
It has same amount of RAM which is not too great but it also is not that bad, and it has same dual core CPU, almost everything else is similar except the screen and keyboard. It is a bit bigger than Slide but it still fits in a pocket and looks like phone (unlike some half-laptops/tablets that are in fashion nowadays, for which you'll need some servant to carry it for you if you happen to wear shorts lol)
IMO: yes, if you can sell your Slide higher than you'll pay for Sensation I'd say go for it - you get larger screen 4.x'' with higher resolution 1280x720 and you'll keep some cash. Go for it!
edit- my first choice was actually Samsung Glide (1GB RAM), but I passed on it because of 2 main reasons: everything made by Samsung I ever had always turned out unfortunately to be a huge P.o.S. (really, maybe I was unlucky one, but that's true in my case and I can long elaborate with details here) and second reason was that Glide has radios working only with Robbers in Canada, and I will NEVER become one of their customers ever again.

I never use the keyboard. And the Sensation is a great phone even left stock. My buddies brother has one and I must say its a solid little device. Go for it!

Yeah...now I am feeling a little torn...I have found the Galaxy s2 for 325 as well...but I am torn between Sense (Sensation) or the Galaxy s2....I told myself I would never own a crapsung but I hear a lot of good things about the s2......
you should try and sell your phone to a dev.

Id wait for the tmo GS3 if I were you anyway. Unless your in high need of a new phone. Careful not to get scammed.
Galaxy Note is a nice phone. Just get the N7000, I've used it 100% stock. Best experience ever, and the SCREEN IS AMAZING.

S-OFF or ON?
What color?
How beat up does it look?
Anything not working right on it?
Including the original packaging, sdcard, usb adaptor and cable...battery? Aftermarket any of these things? Any missing?
Anything else that should be known about the device?
----
If already S-OFF that could be attractive to someone who doesn't want to do the S-OFF method we have for current software devices.
Including all the original stuff will help you see the value you want.
I wouldn't flash any other software to it unless it's back to some stock form, and I wouldn't reverse it to S-ON if already OFF.
I've got to get my finances back in order again, but in a month or two i'll be looking to buy a third slide again. (Found a mint silver one - Yay! ... rather, one found me due to a kindness of a member here.)
I've been thinking about picking up a few sensations too, they play nice with the doubleshot and the coding is so similar it's not worth mentioning for most, so ...
...you will enjoy it if you get it, but i'd appreciate if you come back to this thread and do a comparison of the two devices, whatever else you get, after you've played with it for a little while to get a decent feel for it.
Best of luck to you in what you want to do - if you don't use the keyboard then the sensation is a better choice - essentially the same phone, and MHL is smoother then our RCA tv-out, if more cumbersome.
Hmm might have a Galaxy s2 for 280....if it is in good condition I don't think I could turn this down....
Yeah I think s-off is a good selling point..it is a challenge and not for the faint of heart...
Hey guys Nub here. yea i saw the other thread about which to get but i want to change it up a bit. if its still to similar someone will flame me and ill delete... prolly. anywho
So i woke up this morning to my poor lil Nexus 4's alarm yelling at me. Went to swipe it off but no go. realized that the screen had a edge to edge crack about 45 degrees. musts fallen off my desk due via vibration and landed so perfectly on my lamp learning against the wall. had a case and a protector on it so i guess i had a stroke of bad luck. now no touch will register cept a tiny tiny corner that wont even unlock it.. after playing with it all i can do is turn airplay mode on and off, cant even wipe data on the phone because of my touch Twrp recover... lol. really? btw its a 16gb sexy black
Thats my end of my nexus. Im selling for parts or repair if anyone wants it. lets say ill start at 150 and highest bidder wins? pm me or post on the thread.
BUT i really am on my way to either grabbing a S4 HTC one or Xperia Z
Im almost done doing my research. id get the N4 again but im a geek who loves trying it all out. so i need a little push. thats where you come in XDA
edit:
I care about looks and customization. i dont care what comes stock as ill throw a cooked up rom on there. If you think one has a better selection for roms or mods leme know.
I did my spec search and review hunt even the unboxing and thought video watching. but its still alot of money for a college kid to be throwing around so i just want to make sure i wont regret it. after reading all i can i turn to the last place my thoughts can be settled.
also i am using att of course im gunna unlock it but im getting this phone through tmobile as a gift from my girl. so id like to use 4g. if you know any issues with unlock from tmob please let me know
XDA fokes please. if you can give me some reasons why you would get either of the phones id love to read your thoughts or tips.
Im mostly looking for sweet hacks or mods made that i dont know baout the phones. or even apps or features that might make me nerdgasm. Imagine a debate. your defending the phone of your choice.
this is what i think right meow.
Galaxy s4 - I love the mad specs, i bet i can crank that baby so bad it'd melt my hands. but i hate the buttons and the plastic...but i like the screen size at least.
HTC one - Im not a fan of the 2 buttons. i like having a menu button or no buttons at all for pie or gestures. Styles ok specs r tasty but not a fan of the cam really. this is my second choice. plus i had my share of a 4.7 display.
Xperia Z - was never a fan of waterproof phones, seemed like a gimic. but this is my first choice, besides the nexus 4 it does not waste space like other do for touch buttons i can utilize all of that yummy 5 inches for what ever i want. and i will trust me. the waterproofing is a plus, im talking bout anime in the shower xD. spec r ok im willing to settle for 1.5 because it looks sleek comes in purple and is not plastic.. dig the screen size. sony usually makes nice devices but shatty software. i think i can solve the software problem because well xda is here to back me up .
Thanks for your guidance you guys. unless this thread gets shut down due to copycattin. <3

oh dang ok... now im leaning towards the one. hah see this is somthing i was looking for. thanks too bad its still a 4.7 screen really want to try a big boy out but i guess its not a big diff.
S4, HTC One and Xperia Z are all old news now that the more powerful Snapdragon 800 phones are coming out starting with the LG G2. So if you want a phone that will last you years without regret, you would be better off getting a S800 phone instead of the slower and older S600.
Don't even consider a 600 anymore.
800s are the way to go. Apparently they will have native support for the always listening feature. Just like the Moto X. Which is not a bad choice. Neither is LG G2. Or the upcoming M8 (HTC One+). Note 3. S5?
No matter what you get it'll be outdated in 3-6 months, but if it was me I would get either a black GS4 or Xperia Z
