Personally, if you don't have a place like xda to help enjoy your phone then it's not worth getting another phone that you can not customize above and beyond the typical parameters. I don't know too much about LG or Toshiba's support sites out there but I often stick with HTC because xda.
It's not just about the phones specs but the people behind the phones that matter more. XDA is that community that keeps me close to HTC.
Do research using the various website like GSM Arena to figure out the best phone....but don't stop there. Find out the support Groups that are willing to carry you and your device to it's furthest limits.
Hope this helps.....
Well said band27! Definately check the HTC devices & hang out on XDA!

Thanks ......and yes, if it wasn't for xda, I would have left HTC by now.
Viva XDA! Viva las vegas! Either one sounds good, yes?
I probably should get some air as I've been on this site for some considerable hours today.......lol and loving it!

Hi there
I have a LG IQ (Canadian eXpo). I have never had a HD or a tg01 so I cant compare them directly but I can comment on the eXpo.
I very much like my eXpo, but as other posters have said, the big thing you lose going to another manufacturer is this communities support, although several on this forum have stated that they will work on ROM development when it becomes possible. There is a fledgling web site www.lg-expo.com and a special interest group here, where discussions about development can take place.
things I love about the eXpo:
The keyboard - as good feel as the Touch Pro 2, but with a few less keys
The screen - colorful and bright but I havent used a HD
The SPEED of the processor -1 GHz and you know it when browsing or booting your device. You also know it when using processor intensive apps - doing things like browsing a large music collection.
the camera - 5 Mpixel, flash and it works quite well for a phone camera.
I am looking forward to the coming availability of the projector attachment.
the hardware multi-tasking button, and LG task manager works better than anything else I have seen on WM
the fingerprint reader - yes this works for security - and it works fast so I actually use it, which wasn't the case with the password systems and in my situation I really should use security of some type.
After TF3D or Sence, the S Class user interface is different and needs some getting used to! I have grown to like it but it was a rocky road the first week.
The bad...It has no internal stylus, so you have to use your finger nail sometimes. With 6.5 I find I can live with this since I don't end up wanting to use a stylus too much.
good luck and cheers,
Stay with HTC!
Go for Leo or Rhodium
So far the best 2 devices to this date

Yeah specially N1 thats coming out lol there is some stuff on n1user.com
I've been an avid Windows Mobile/HTC fan for over 3 years now, but I was wondering everyones opinion on the DROID/Milestone by Motorola.
I feel like this phone might finally get me to move on to bigger/better things - I'm thinking about purchasing a Telus Milestrone (DROID) on ebay to use on AT&T. I NEED A PHYSICAL KEYBOARD!
Basically, does anyone else here feel like Android is a more stable and advanced OS when compared to Windows Mobile? I currently have a Touch Pro II and Nokia E71, but I think I may sell both of those phones to get the DROID.
Is there any limitations for the DROID that I should know about as WinMo user? Is there a different/better phone I should wait for instead?
Does anyone else feel like me currently?
I just want to find the ultimate smart phone! (I swear it's an eternal hunt)
Honestly in my opinion I think android beats windows mobile in every way. It is a much more innovative operating system in my eyes and with rooting the posibilities are endless. If you could go without a keyboard I would say get a nexus. The droid's keyboard is very flat and honestly when I used one I found the touch screen keyboard just to be easier to use. If you have used one you'd understand what I mean. The flatness makes it very hard to type on for me atleast but I guess as you get used to it, it gets easier. Honestly though the best smart phone is all up to. He user. I think out of the phones you mentioned I would take the Droid over the other two. But if you think you could get used to an on screen keyboard think about getting a nexus one because from what I've seen they are great and incredibly fast phones.

WM doesn't need Root access because its already there. We can do what ever we please with our WM devices.
Go for the droid - it's a great phone.
If you really need a keyboard, make sure you check out the droid in person before you buy it. I don't know if a keyboard could be any flatter. It's amazing how some people can distinguish one key from another. If you have big/thick fingers, this may be an issue. As far as keyboards go, the touch pro 2 is the one for me.

Yeah seriously. Do look at the droid's keyboard before you buy it. When I play with one I nd up using the on screen keyboard more but I've also used one for all f 15 minutes total. Friend who has one can tell each key apart and loves it. It all comes down to opinion

On my opinion Rhodium is the best hardware keyboard device out there
Leo Has the option to test young funny Android but from the mature and stable WM platform
Ive been using Android 2.2 on my Nexus One for the last week.
Now Ive got to say im not the biggest fan of the Nexus One, it has some tech issues that still need to be worked out, but I have had it since it first came out so it is an early model.
Android is great though, its really intuitive to use and the new version is really powerful.
Hello,
i am interested in buying an Android tablet, however i don't want to spend so much money either.
Thus i suppose a branded tablet is out of question. The first generation iPad seems a good solution, but i dont like the idea leaving android and starting from scratch in understanding their OS... Even Nook Color is in my options!
However there are so many unbranded tablets. How to chose?!?!
Would all connect with no problem to Android apps and market?
I have an Android Motorola phone currently, thus i would prefer to have a capacitive tablet as well.
Would i be able to buy a protector for my tablet if this is unbranded?
Any recommendations please?
Thanks!
Hi there,
I would find an used Folio 100 (Toshiba) and then install Dexters forliomod rom on it.
I am very pleased with mine.
Regards,
Per.
You should try Galaxy Tab. The price has gone down a lot recently
Thanks, but i suppose the price is again not near the Nook color...
Try the Nook Color, I hear good things about it.
The Nook Color and XDA could be your ticket...
Got a color nook loaded in dual boot and run 2.3 on it If you do not need microphone and camera then this is great choice. I did not load on the nook 2.3 because I wanted to keep the reader it come loaded with, this reader reads out loud the kid's books in a real human recorded voice. This is awesome for my kid who is 4. But if you do not need this feature then you can load directly on to the system 2.2 or 2.3 or 3.0 This device is a flashing geek's dream fun to modify and 200 bucks

If you are using android phone currently, my suggestion is you should try ipad. that you could have two differ os. That's must better than using one os.

is that true though? Why complicated your life when you know Android so well?
Basically this is the reason why i am not going to iPad, dont want to complicated my life to a different OS...
How much IS there to know about these mobile device OS?*
*Unless you're a developer. If so, the device you develop for would probably dictate your next purchase unless something radically more interesting comes along.

Being able to know everything needs root an android, having so many apps and knowing that what i would be searching on my phone would be done also for my tablet, that would make me really happy.
I am not in a mood for searching info on how to jailbreak an ipad...

i wanted to get one too but i think they are uselles to me so..
If you're on the cheap, rooting a NC is the way to go. B&N lists it for sale @ $200 occasionally, but you can usually find one listed on Craigslist for the same price or a little cheaper.
If you've got $400 to spend, pick up the Asus Transformer, it's the best Android bang-for-the-buck at the moment.
Ok thanks. I was thinking whether Nooc color or a chinese C8 have the same power and capabilities runnin on 2.2..
Does anyone know? Or NC is just superior for the "official" support it has...

fly touch, malata, ctab t2, ctab pro, tab t23, there are many,,
and now android 2.3 tablets are available now
Yes there many! However the question is, do you risk it and buy one?

wait for galaxy tab2
I'd say go with the Ipad most definately. Not Android platform but trust me that's a good thing.
I really like the honeycomb, and i think this is better than my friends Ipad1
I have a Samsung Epic 4G & I really love the device & the android OS but I was possibly looking to switch up OS's. I must admit that the Pre 3 & webOS really has my attention at the moment but so does WP7 with Mango. Would someone whose actually had a bit of experience on these 3 OS's mind giving me their input and maybe a brief comparison so I might be able to make a more informed decision.

So Ubuntu announced some new stuff for us yesterday.....
http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/phone
22 min video http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=cpWHJDLsqTU
At the 21 minute mark he says if your phone works with Android then it will work with Ubuntu.... I wonder how that process will work. I also am interested in how to get all our awesome Android apps working too. Another problem will be the lack of video out for us... Anyways, discuss!!
I myself am getting pretty excited about this, I wasn't planning on getting a new phone til the flexible phones came out but this is big news! I might even trade for a Nexus if the dock is small and portable. I wonder how quick it will be ported to our phone?
I'm very excited myself. However in a few months I leave on a LDS mission and will be out with no tech. For 2 years. So I'll only hope this gets put on our phone

ZDNet had a nice article on it but it sounds like it will be an option for the manufactures to offer than a ROM to port.. Ubuntu offers an arm version that you can install and run from within android and that works great, it already works WITH android, this would basicly be an option for the carrier to provide, at Ubuntu there is a link to get their assistance in building ubuntu for specific devices if someone with more time wants to chase it a little. it would be pretty awesome tho.

Yea I think they chose the galaxy nexus because there is full source release instead of the nexus 4. I am hoping that wont be too much of a problem and we can just mod the original release and it wont be too much of a problem. I'm pretty sure android stuff will work with it too, just we will have to download an emulator or some sort. I'll be keeping an eye on this one...
