[Q] suggestion for a new phone

i Want to buy a new Mobile Fone & the budget is around 18500INR.
So which mobile do u people suggest ???
but The OS should be ANDROID.
i Have Following Devices on my Mind, but cant decide which one is good.
1. Samsung Galaxy S {21000INR}
2. Samsung Galaxy SL {18500INR}
3. Samsung Galaxy ACE {14400INR}
My choice is, but not limited to the above devices, so please giveme your suggestions ??

there are many gud phones for example htc wildfire, LG optimus one P500, htc desire etc but which one u like just do a lot of research about that phone and make sure it is gud

If you are aiming for that price, I recommend to get the Desire because it has one of the strongest community with many custom ROMs.
With the Desire, you can even get the all new Gingerbread + Sense 3.0 (from Flyer, Sensation, etc.).
The second recommendation from me for that price will be the Samsung Galaxy S. Galaxy S has more internal memory than Desire and AMOLED screen.

i Dont want desire as it has many disadvantages over Galaxy S/Galaxy SL
1. Screen Size is smaller 3.7 vs 4.0
2. Doesnt have a secondry Camera {so no Video Calling}
3. Smaller ROM
& Moreover i dont like the Menu Style of Sense UI s Compared to TouchWiZ of Samsung

Some don't like Desire some do not like Galaxy S, but again, as I said before, Galaxy S is still among my recommendation.
I do not know Galaxy SL because I have never used it at all.

Galaxy S is also a very gud phone but it has a big screen (which might not fit in my pocket).....and that's it otherwise if ur ready to cash out on a sweet phone like then go ahead but just do a little research and then buy it(experience).....Hope u have fun!!

I would go for Samsung Galaxy S or HTC Desire.
Both good phones. I guess the Galaxy has the better display (AMOLED).
Hope you make the right choice.

Galaxy S goes around 3K more then my budget & galaxy SL fits the budget perfectly
& can u give me some advantages of Desire over Galaxy S

Desire,
Up sides:
- The main advantage of Desire is the diversity of custom ROMs available + the unbelievable strong community.
- Sense UI (believe me, this is one of the main reason why I always bought HTC)
- Case/body feels better in the hand than Galaxy S.
The down sides: SLCD (for new Desires, the old ones have AMOLED), low internal memory size, pseudo-multi-touch screen.
Galaxy S,
Up sides:
- The main advantage of Galaxy S is the bigger sized internal memory.
- AMOLED screen, true multi touch screen.
The down sides:
- you will get custom ROMs but not as many as by Desire and the community is not as strong Desire although still one of the strongest community.
- Touchwiz is iPhonish
- The case/body feels cheaper than Desire.
Edit: Galaxy S is bigger...this is an advantage during internet browsing but down side if you wanna put it in your pocket.

Which of the following phones is better for me?

Hello,
i want to buy a new smartphone. Currently i am down to these 4 devices:
HTC Desire
HTC Desire S
Samsung Galaxy S
Samsung Galaxy S Plus
I like to be able to tinker and learn how to develop roms for the phones.
I liked the Desire S, but i hear many complains about the wifi deathgrip. Is there any fix to this problem?
A friend has the Desire and I tried it and i find it a very good phone, also I couldn't find any complains about wifi signal etc...
About the Samsungs, the lack of custom roms concerns me, especially for the SGS Plus. Also are there any reports of poor GPS performance?
What's your opinion about these phones?

either of the SGS/+ have better screen that the other 2
other than that, functionality and feature they are just about the same
there are tons of support for both phones

Thank you for your reply.
Any more opinions?

I am leaning towards SGS, but I have second thoughts about GPS performance... Is there any fix?

sgs plus all the way it's fast & smooth as with gps fix i think you need to find a rom for that as the gps was corrected on the nexus s release.

I have a Desire and love it but the lack of internal memory sucks, just under 150mb, so you will fill it up quickly. I rooted mine and installed LeeDrOiD 3.0.8.2 GB with an extra Gb partition.
If I were you I'd go with the SGSII or one of the newer HTC such as Sensation or Desire HD.

HTC Wildfire S vs Samsung Galaxy Ace?

Hello guys!
I'm looking to purchase a new phone, I have narrowed my choices and my budget down to either the HTC Wildfire S or the Samsung Galaxy Ace.
I just want to know your opinions to find out which one is the better phone, and which one is better value for money.
I can buy the HTC Wildfire S for £175 (Including £10 Top Up) on Three.
I can buy the Samsung Galaxy Ace for £145 (Including £15 Top Up) on Three.
Which one is better overall?
I know the Samsung has a better CPU than the HTC but doesn't the HTC run a better version of Android? Or do they both run 2.3?
I want the phone for general use- a lot of texting, a few phone calls, browsing facebook a couple of times a day, and checking emails once a day. I'm not looking to hack or flash custom roms etc, just practical use.
Thank you for all your replies in advance, they will be greatly appreciated.

Personally I would avoid the wildfire and go for the galaxy ace.
Will run better and smoother I'm sure.I've only briefly seen the galaxy but hated my original wildfire! I have the s2 so have started to really like Samsung so far in comparison to HTC handsets!

Thank you for your reply, I've heard good and bad things from both handsets but still undecided- so far im swinging towards the Ace mostly because it has a bigger screen and i know Samsung have good customer support (From experience) whilst i have heard HTC are dreadful in that department.
Thanks

No problem,let up know what you go for in this thread! hopefully you will be typing with your New phone! Plus if you need assistance feel free to ask!

go for samsung Ace.. wildfire has a really smallscreen and poor battery.. i hav used it .. though sense ui is a killer thing but if yu like bigger screen nd better processor nd battery go for Ace

Htc wildfire s is even slower than the gio, which is much cheaper.. and the ace is the better version of the gio. Buy the ace

Thanks for your replies guys, im going for the Galaxy Ace, not only because it is cheaper but because you all seem to know what you're talking about, so im taking your word for it! Ill hopefully be picking it up before Christmas, or as soon i sell my old phone and 'lend' the money from my parents!
Thank you.

Wildfire S
I would go for Wildfire S without any doubt.Wildfire S performs better than Ace in benchmarks,it has more RAM,Sense UI,design and build quality is great,touch sensitivity is better.Ace's processor is same as Wildfire S,only factory overclocked to 800 MHz.The only problem is battery life ,a little too short and internal memory,150 Mb user available compared to 180 Mb of Ace.

On look out for a new android phone but.....

Hi
I am starting to look for a new phone to replace my HTC Desire which is coming to the the end of its contract and will be due an upgrade in January. I have been looking around for a new phone, but i am struggling to know what to get.
Obvious one to look at would be Samsung Galaxy Nexus, galaxy s2 etc.....but they seem massive against my desire...
If people own one of these phones, do they not find the size is a hindrance while on the move?
I Guess my question is what would people suggest as a good phone to get which is a similar size to the HTC Desire?
By the way i live in the UK, if that affects what is available.
thanks in advance
Andy

Similar size would be Nexus One, Desire S or the slightly bigger Nexus S. Apparently everyone needs phones the size of laptops now so there's not much choice for normal sized devices.

I recommend the Desire S
Actually no, its not much of an upgrade, but if you are happy with the Desire, you could upgrade and get a Desire S on a even cheaper contract.

[Q] Which Android Handset to Choose?

The upgrade on my contract is coming up and I was just wondering what you guys' opinion was. The main choices are HTC One S or X, or the Samsung Galaxy S3. At the moment I have the HTC Sensation and would prefer a phone with Sense. Looking on the internet for reviews gives me a mixed view. I would say I'm leaning towards the HTC One S purely because of size (similar to Sensation) and performance. Anyway, opinions please?
Cheers
