Right now its probably the HTC Desire HD. The Galaxy S awesome but it's riddled with bugs and Samsung still haven't given ud an official froyo, but the hardware is simply amazing

Amen. Desire HD FTW.

i think galaxy is better than htc hd. but samsung should really work hard on their upgrade and other bugs.

HTC Leo
Is it´s capable of boot Android and WM
If only Android I would choose Desire Z

It's your own opinion realy ...
But yeah Desire HD ftw

Have to agree,
(very) Large screen, capable of running
​WM6.5,
​Android 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 & 2.4 (sort of),
​WP7,
​MeeGo and
​Ubuntu.
Now who can beet this....
only downside is the lack of RAM on EU model..

I believe that you should ask yourself two questions.
1- how much money I'm welling to spend.
2 - wich characteristics must the phone have.
And then pick a phone from the available ones

For me Personally, I absolutely HAVE to have wifi calling on my phone due to the crappy signal I get in my house, 2 doors up or down I get 5 bars and full 4g, but in the house I barely get edge and get 1 bar that comes and goes. With that being said T-mobile is the only one that makes wifi calling on some of their newer android phones. I presently own the Mytouch 4g witch I love, but If I have a bunch of cash I'd run out and buy the G2X, that looks really sweet.

Enjoying the HTC Incredible S, but I'm drooling over the Atrix and the new Charge from HTC

using lg optimus 2x with cm7
it's really fast

another vote for desire from me!

I would say anything BUT the LEO(HD2) if you do not want to change the OS. I've had the hd2 for a while and I truly despise the bugs in WinMo 6.5 ...the features are well intended but it just does not operate well after using it for a while. Android on the LEO/HD2 is fantastic though and the screen size is unbeatable.

The G2x, Nexus S are the best phone because they aren't skinned and offer and a pure Google experience. If you want a used phone then nexus 1 or the Motorola Droid for its keyboard.

Even though the HTC Desire is getting on a bit now, it's still looking good as news even though I use it heavily everyday. Running the Oxygen Mod so it's using one of the latest Android versions, Gingerbread (2.3).
There are a cool new Android phones around this year such as the LG Optimus 2X since it's dual core. The Sony Xpheria Play looks interesting too since it's designed for gaming.

I can see why but I think the Galaxy S is SOO undervalued it's not true.
With 4 inch Voodoo Color, you get best screen for now with tweaks. Obviously, without voodoo color, the SGS II 4.3 with Super Amoled Plus would win the game.
As far as SQ is concerned, again, Galaxy S with Voodoo sound, Galaxy tuner/DSP manager and powerAMP, it's up there with Sony and Cowon DACs which in my opinion as an audiophile, it absolutely great since I don't like carrying two devices.
Adding onto this, the ROM devs with CM7, MIUI AND sense as well as optimized Samsung ROMs which have NO lag at all, the only flaw in my SGS is the build quality. Actually, quality isn't so bad, it just feels cheap because it's too light which in this case is a bad thing.
Oh btw, codec support is amazing and I may be wrong but is one of the best in terms of codec support as well.
Come on people, SGS all the way if you want all round phone (Or Nexus S cuz it's basically the same now.)

Galaxy s II

HTC Inspire 4G FTW!!!!

The G2X or Nexus S are good to go...or a used phone like the Nexus One (Android Development phone).

[Q] Best android phone that I can buy

Hi Friends,
Recently I lost my Sony Xperia X10i. I'm in the process of claim insurance. Now my question to my friends here - Which android mobile I need to buy. I'm a big fan of Android .
I'm from India, so please suggest me that is available in India. My budget is up to 30K .
Thanks & Regards,
Naresh Kumar

I can say go for Samsung galaxy S Or HTC Desire HD Htc Desire HD Will be available during this month. I 've heard prices will be around 35K But Battery drain is the problem in HD I guess

Depends on what you are looking for.
Nexus S or Galaxy S will give you the best processing power, Galaxy S also has the super AMOLED screen. The HTC Desire Z is very overclockable, which can put it above the Galaxy S even, and has a slide-out keyboard.
HTC Desire HD also has a big screen with good construction and great software (HTC Sense...best software skin on Android).
If you want plain unmodified Android then wait for the Nexus S, which would be the only phone with Android 2.3 Gingerbread.

hTC all the way
Desire Z or Desire HD

HTC desire is a good choice.
I have HTC smart and am happy with its features and apps. I think HTC desire will be also best I had just deal with HTC and its first time I am using Android. you will get many best deals at this Christmas.
Good Luck!

...that is all...
i will NEVER own another samsung smartphone... terribly disappointing expierence with the galaxy s series in its entierty....
ive found that most people who have an SGS and LOVE it, have either never had ANY smartphone previously, or never owned an HTC smartphone to understand what they are missing

i just switched yesterday from an iphone 4 to an HTC Droid Incredible. its, in my book, 1000x better than the iphone. yea it doesnt have the front facing camera like the Evo, but usin it on the iphone for facetime purely raped the battery life. hence why i went w/o. im still tinkering with it, like i did both my iphones, and i'll post a full review for those who wanna kno more about it (and if there isnt one already).

Motorola Milestone 2 is a good idea.. but i'd wait for Nexus S or lg star..
LG STAR HAS A TEGRA 1GHZ PROCESSOR.. but youll have to wait longer than nexus S for that

Yeah i came from a 3gs,iPhones are boring.You could probably get a Htc HD2 cheap and you can port android to it,there very good at running android,fast,stable,they even beat the Nexus one and desire at running it

IF you like options, get a cheap HD2 lol. It can run Wm 6.5, Android, and ubuntu and possibly even wp7. and the hardware is still good. Otherwise Desire HD sounds good but I highly recommend the HD2 for versatility

I will be changing my phone in June. Right now I have HTC Hero, and I just love it, it is by far the best phone I have ever owned. Can not stand Iphones.....
So my question, is whats on the horizon ???? like I say, it will be June 2011 when I upgrade, what should I be looking at ?
Thanks
Ian

30k INR is about 660 USD, right?
you could buy HTC Desire with that, I think..
or perhaps, just buy HTC HD2.. with cedesmith desireHD2 build, 2000 quadrant score is just a small number..

I've been with T-Mobile for around 7 years and have 7 lines. We have tried about every phone out there. One year we went through 103 phones. We have owned every myTouch phone, including the Fender but excluding the new one, almost all of the BlackBerry phones made, many nokia phones, motorola phones and of course countless htc phones (including the HD7, returned the next morning).
No matter what platform HANDS DOWN the Samsung Vibrant S (I guess that would include AT&Ts Galaxy S) is the best out there. My kids had the inexpensive samsung flip phones and they were great, but beyond the very low end Samsung I have never been really happy with their phones that were almost smart phones, more like frustrated because you could "almost" do what lets say the HTC phones could but your Samsung was always not set up for all the same apps, stuck with all kinds of just small bumps.
Just this weekend 3 people were deciding what phone to get and they are now all getting the Vibrant once there contract is up. I personally added a line just to get this phone. Now my Vibrant in rooted (never done that before) and is customized with BlackFroyo I got off here. Of course the 3 friends all want to do the same.
Samsung has all the technology, thank goodness T-Mobile got their hands on it!!! Buy it you won't be sorry.

get the nexus S, period

I must admit I would have agreed with you before I bought the Vibrant. We've been with T-Mobile for 7 years and have a total of 7 lines... I won't repeat what I already posted but have gone though over 103 phones (unfortunately, kids) in one year about 90% smart phones.
Samsung DID IT RIGHT with the VIBRANT!!!!
I love window based phones as well and REALLY lean towards HTC until now. Returned the HD7 within 14 hrs, maybe I'll try again once it's more established.
So I bought my first choice and everyone who sees it or uses it (it's rooted with BlackFroyo theme) has decided this is the phone they'll be getting.
What was so disappointing about the Galaxy S Series? The working phones we have right now are 2 myTouch slides, 1 myTouch G1, 1 myTouch Fender, partially broken Samsung Galaxy (I agree with you about this phone), 1 or 2 different BlackBerrys, but returned the HTC HD7 & HTC Pro Touch 2, & gave away the Slide to get this Vibrant and now I have 6 others under my roof who want me to buy them a Vibrant.
I know everyone has different opinions and needs but to imply that owners of the Galaxy S Series have less experience with SmartPhones than those who own HTC phones is just a little narrow minded. I did feel the way you did but it was the "NEWEST" HTC phone that pushed me to the Samsung. Reviews everywhere were overwhelming that if you were going to buy a T-Mobile phone get the Vibrant.
-nothing personal, it would just be nice if you would back your statements up with some facts because it sounds like you're talking about another Samsung

Buy HTC Desire Z its a great phone.

What is best for me may not be for you, said that, theres no such "best" phone.

[Q] Google Nexus S and HTC Desire HD

Hi guys. I am planning to buy one of those phones listed above. Please help me decide. I dont know what to buy. I love Samsung google nexus S but ive seen so manyy nega feedbacks about it. what are the pros and cons of HTC desire HD and Samsung Google Nexus S. Please help me guys. About the software, is there any issue on google nexus S? and is google nexus S gonna get every update on android? and how about desire HD?
THANKS IN ADVANCE!
CHEERS!

For me the Nexus S is the more desirable of the two because it is stock Android. I just don't see the need for Sense bloatware...but that's just me

yes but the desire is very easy to root and S-off so you can get it to stock pretty easily using a rom like cyanogen 7
my friend has a nexus S and i still like my DHD better even if it is from a purely aesthetic point of view, performance is pretty much the same @ stock but i think the nexus responds to overclocking better than the DHD thats if you actually plan on overclocking.

The HTC Desire HD has HTC Sense HD.... its great!
And you have SOFF and Root so you can put plan Android on it.
U can do this at the Nexus S too but i think the Desire HD is the better Phone! Just because of Sense and its look

thats a touph decision, they are both great phones.
buy them both.

I cant afford to buy them both.. im still a 16 yr old student andd i have two phones. i am planning to sell them and buy nexus S. andd have another with a black and white screen :|
Im thinking rly hard for these, i like the design of Nexus S and its pure android. i can get each and every update that will be released on the next months. i also like DHD but its design is a no no for me.typical rectangular shaped phone and im also worried about its updates because DHD might not get future updates.
Naaah, im really confused.
Thanks for your replies sir *salutes*
EDIT: and also ive heard that the battery of the HTC desire HD sucks. what should i do? help please. thanks!

Nexus S = no sd card
Is it true that the Nexus S has no SD Card slot? That would be the deal breaker for me to not get that phone.

Get a Hd2, the most customizable phone going, you can then use a desire or froyo or gingerbread rom, or even wp7 if you fancy it.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

If I could choose between Nexus S, DHD and HD2, i would definately take the HD2! Hardware of the DHD and HD2 are nearly the same and it costs only half of the DHD. You can choose out of many OS's and the Android-feeling on the HD2 is native.
If you want a short answer:
There is no big difference between these phones, only the price matters.
First I wasn't sure if I should by the DHD or HD2 and I took the latter. A used HD2 but in very good condition for 180€ is a fair price. And DHD for 450€ is too expensive for me as a 17y old student ;D

[Q] HTC or ??

HTC Incredible S is the phone I am opting for. At the same time Desire HD seems to be a sensible choice. Can anyone guide me; which one is Better ? or any other model from the same family with somewhat same budget.
Secondly, this will be my first android. I have heard that HTC phones are best when it comes to Android updates and their special 'Sense' UI.
If any other brand in the market is having better choices in the Somewhat Same Budget ? Not only budget, but I expect a really good functionality alongside good looks.
Hope you guys there will surely help me make my decision...

Definitely go for HTC. Incredible is I think better as its screen is just the right size, not too small and not too large.

check Samsung I9000

HTC Incredible S and Desire HD both are OK.
It seems the camera of DHD is better than IS. And the battery capacity, IS > DHD.

@ hookguy, OmenosTM, evnnetuser. Thank you for your suggestion. I am definitely inclined towards HTC. Just wanted check some better opitions if available. Samsung is really offering some good models but doubt whether is it better to spend about 30K for Samsung instead of HTC.

That's easy!
The Desire HD has got Android 2.2 while the Incredible S has got 2.3 so I'd definitely buy the Incredible S. But if you remove the letters I C R D E B L and add the letters S O A N T, you get Sensation. That's the best phone you can get and I think that the hTC Sense UI makes it better than the Galaxy S II.

Desire hd has now got gingerbread http://www.eurodroid.com/2011/05/ht...branded-android-2-3-update-out-now-in-the-uk/

I go with HTC because samsung phone can get messed up right away if u root it . I rooted my g1,htc hero and never got them messed up. I switch over 40 roms together on both device. Since, getting galaxy it got messed up within a few rom i got it bricked. Even my droid from motorola didnt get messed up . Point is HTC and moto is durable. Im buy me a droid incredible 1 soon. Go with incredible s and HTC. I hate Samsung and their touchwiz isnt a dealbreaker trust me.

So, all you guys think that HTC is always a better option... am I right??

Make sure you go and physically play with the Desire HD before you buy it. It is a pretty big phone. I was surprised how big it was.

Shall I wait and watch the credentials of HTC Sensation and Samsung GS-II ?

My advice to you is to wait for the feedback from Sensation users, GB dual camera dual LED 1080p ...

I'm still thinking the SGSII is gonna be great down the road.
Still rocking the Incredible with the XDA Premium App.

Thanks a lot for your replies guys.
It seems its better to wait for reviews of Sensation and GSII...

Moving from Nexus S to....GN or HTC One 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?
