I was thinking of buying a new phone. At first, I was between Nexus S and Desire. I thought I'd go with Nexus S, but then I remembered that Windows Phone 7 also existed in this world.
So, which one I should pick? Nexus S and Omnia 7 both have a 4" AMOLED screen.
Opinions?
Edit: I want a good phone on which I can play good games and use good apps. I don't want it to lag. :x
BUMP! Come on people...
If you want apps and games the best choice would be Android or iOS. So Nexus S.
Hmmm yeah, but from what I've seen android doesn't have quality apps or games... Like... 10 apps/games from the whole market are worthy downloading/paying for.
I believe the apps and games on WP7 are "quality" apps though. Well, that's what the videos say.
Wp7 game over android game? ? Lol

Without thinking I can already name over 20 of each games/apps that are worth downloading. Go look at the market at appbrain.com and see for yourself.
If you are willing to pay for games then I'd probably say that the games are better on WP7 and they are only getting better with a lot of good releases every week.
I have android and WP7 (SE X10 and Omnia 7)
Nexus S imo, androids market getting better from day to day
W7 is a little too closed for me so I'd say nexus S All the I do like WP7 alot!
If you are going to get a HD7 you may as well get a HD2 instead. Very similar specs and apps galore due to all the O/Ses that run on the HD2 including WP7.

It would be cool to have iPhone on G1 but I don't see that coming at all.

I could see the iPhone getting faster on Android once more devs look at it and piece it together. It has to be possible to port iPhone to Android to bad I have no development skills or I would give it a go.

If you believe something is in the wrong section, is it not easier to just ignore the post? Or must you, inform people they're posting in the "wrong" section? What's the big deal. Read what's written, if it holds no interest for you, keep it movin. If you find it interesting, and you "believe" it's in the wrong section, keep it movin. What's hard about that? Ur the type to report **** is in the wrong sections as you come across stuff aren't you? People like you are Computer Commandos. Leave the Moddin 2 da MODS.
Thanks. Take Care.
Im sorry but android is far better then iphone os and this is coming from a person that paid about $4000 in mac stuff

Cydia: We don't need another Market when ours doesn't reject things.
Battery- Really? Have you EVER used a Nexus?
Memory- That is, until you fill it up
Music Player- No doubt, Android is getting better ones but the iPhone's is still top notch
Gaming- That's what happens when you're a year ahead of the competition, but yes, I feel it has better games (Even if I don't play any)
Batter Keyboard- This is subjective, the ONLY thing I feel it has Android beaten in is responsiveness (And this is due to the touchscreen, not the actual keyboard)
If not cydia rock millions of free apps once hacked u can't fill up the memory my wife a 16 gig and hsnt filled up half her memory with all the movies music and apps the keyboard is more responsive millions of themes everything an android can do so can iphone I wish there a way to flash roms on an iphone

I don't see why having the phone hacked or not gives more memory, it was 16gb before and after. Well, when someone has 1000's of songs, the 16gb fills up rather quickly, so just because she has over half left doesn't mean everyone does.
You tend to have more things when you are tending to a larger user base, so having millions of themes is nice, but you're only ever going to use one at a time.
I still don't see why cydia and rock are being brought into this, they're a market for things that were/will be rejected from the App store the Android Market does NOT suffer from this (Except in things like pornography or malicious/illegal items).
All I know is that this is good news for many and I hope development continues, I like the Iphone OS very much including android and winmo 7.
the day i get an iphone is the day it multitasks, has real keyboard, lets me watch porn when my girl is being stingy and selfish with her vagina, on top of it all... run an android os. sooo in the words of my good man :"iphone can suck iiiiiiiit"

I agree .I have a Touch HD and an Iphone 3GS both are good phones being made better by the developers on here and people over at Devteam. It seems a little immature to be slagging one off against another

If you want a phone that can play music, videos, and games, I'll grant than an iPhone is your best bet.
If you want a phone with a large high-res screen, hardware keyboard, expandable storage, TRUE multi-tasking, as well as an impressive bag of tricks (tethering, WiFiRouter, etc.) that can be had without voiding your warrantee, the iPhone would certainly not fit the bill.
Just saying that there are plenty of things an iPhone cannot do, even with jailbreaking. The day some mad dev manages to port iPhone OS to an HTC keyboard phone, I will gladly eat my words. Until then, enjoy your iPhone for what it is, a Portable Media Player. The rest of us will keep happily haxing away on our Mini Computers.
Hi All
Been playing with Desire on weekend, and uderstood that WM 6 is totaly out of date, I loved Android from first hour of use it has a lots of programs in Android market with very eyecatching UI. Is there a possibility to have Android on HD2 ? I heard somewhere that in some countrys there is a 4G Android version of HD2.
Are there technical possibilitys for Android in HD2 in the future, or I need thinking of changing my LEO.
Thank for Any opinion
Martynas
hey next time use the search, from what i gather the soonest release would be in 6 months but its likely that the phone wouldn't be fully functional, for example the wifi or camera might not work some people see a year or so but only time will tell.
Crossed wires
You have been misinformed if you believe WM6.5 is out of date.
It is state of the art and has many benefits, especially when it is underneath the HTC sense interface.

Ok I don't know about state of the art but take a hit of the ROM in my signature. And to MartynasRex download 'openmarket' check out some of those Apps and games, well ive got a fair few off the games list in these forums that keep up with the iphone!
I wan't android too, and WM is indeed out of date... There are no Apps, you get everyday freezes, its out of date... Android have 50000 Apps, and it fast like a charm...

i think there are even more apps out for winmo than for iphone and android!
(unfortunately??) they're not concentrated at one single spot, like the appstore.
and what aspect makes winmo out of date?!
just saying "it's out of date" isn't a serious argument
I agree with WinMo 6.5 being way out of date, especially now compared to Android & Iphone. Winmo hides behind HTC Sense but if you strip that away its still just boring WinMo. WinMo 7 should be lots better though but I still get lots of fun out of my HD2, Loads of apps available to download from certain websites and you can play around with this thing to your hearts content, I mean I have flashed so many ROM's now its crazy but I love the fact I get to choose how my HD2 looks...... Be great to have android on this thing though.
windows
i thing you are right whit windows mobile is out of date . hd2 is great best ever for me , find your way try soft and trick on xda and you can make a perfect phone. you can also wait for evo 4g whit android but i think this phone is to big
the hd2 size are limit for bring on pocket . its a choice, many are happy whit iphone 3gs me after 2 days i sell mine i keep my omnia and wait for tmo hd2
and now i love hd2

iphone (android) means "iphone and/or android"
I ACTUALLY PEFER WINDOWS 6.5 WITH HTC SENSE MORE THAN ANDRIOD O.S. TO BE HONEST THE ONLY REASON WHY I LIKE THE ANDRIOD IS THERE APPS. I LIKE THE HTC HD2 BECUZ I CAN MAKE THE PHONE JUST LIKE I WANT IT. I WANT A IPHONE LOCKSCREEN WITH A WINDOWS MOBILE 7 INTERFACE AND A PIC OF A WATER PIPE MAKING A WATER PIPE SOUND EVERYTIME I TURN ON MY PHONE WELL THATS JUST SICK AND ESPECIALLY PRETTY MUCH HAVENT SEEN A PHONE THAT IS SO CUSTOMIZABLE ITS CRAZY. I HAVE TO SAY I DONT LIKE THE GAMES SOME ARE TO IPHONE STANDARDS BUT MOST ARE LADY KAKA . LETS ALL ADMIT ITS REALLY NOT ABOUT SELLING THE FASTEST DOPEST HARDWARE ITS ACTUALLY THE SOFTWARE. PEOPLE BUY IPHONES WHY?? BECUZ THERE USER FRIENDLY BUT MAINLY THE APPS AND ACESS TO CONTENT. SAME THING WITH ANDRIOD PHONES. BOTTOM LINE IN THIS DAY AND AGE GIMICS OR NEW HARWARE FEATURES(CAMERA,VIDEO RECORDER,WIFI,) WONT WORK ANYMORE ITS HOW MANY APPS THAT ARE IN THERE VIRTUA STORE THAT SUIT YOUR NEEDS

Being Android user for about half year now, i can say it's crazy unskinable. And about apps i can say most of them are bull****, some wallpaper apps, puzzle and copycat apps of others. Also keep in mind that many of the apps are not working on every android, they give you constantly Force closes everytime.
But at the end it ain't bad os, but not superior. Winmo need's some small update of 6.5 with better system optimization of buttons for better finger experience.
Regards. Gjizaqin
@ gjizaqin You are a troll, sorry to deliver these bad news to you.
www.youtube.com/user/exclusivegslick
Go see how to use android the real way. Sub while you are at it, I'll allow your trolling there.
Btw android has over 55k apps and it already outsells iphone OS. Windows is outdated in every possible way, and until win 7 mobile releases they are dead at least in the US. Thx.
Please go and learn how to research before buying a product, then you wont buy a device and then start crying its "out of date" and be asking for another OS to be ported to it.
I would say WinMo is not as pretty and sometimes unstable. But it's only unstable because it can do so many things.
It would be cool to use Android on this though. I think Android is going to be too much for WinMo7 to overcome.

I tried two Android phones The Hero wich I sold and the Nexus One (still with me but will sell it very soon).
Android is Good,very good but in matter of applications and Especially Memory management WinMo beats it.
The HD2 is so much more customizable
So I had a look at a few phones. Currently using G1 and I love my phone to be honest. Although it's a little bit slow and can't run games and movies smoothly. I am looking for a good android phone that is fast but not too expensive. I was thinking of the Nexus one but I am not sure. What you guys think?
Desire Z!!

Yay, would not go for Desire or Nexus one since their GPU is bad and can't play very well movies & games.
I would go for Desire HD or Galaxy S .
Do you want a keyboard? G2/Desire Z or Samsung Epic.
Don't have a need for a keyboard? I'd say wait until Christmas and we'll see some new devices.
Want a device with huge developer base? Nexus One, though the hardware isn't the best.
What's the hardware like on the Desire Z. Plays Divx movies and games very well?
I'm looking for an Android device as well.
What are the thoughts on a HTC Hero or HTC Wildfire? Those are decent prices through Newegg.com at about $330.
Currently I'm using a Topaz and ready to try something else aside from Windows...and not an iOS fan.
Don't want anything too expensive, but I'd like something that has a support base for development as I know Android 2.3 is near and some of the phones out there are still running 2.1 without official upgrades to 2.2 or 2.3 planned.
Galaxy S is best for games and movies that I know of.
its time for a new phone.
With windows phone 7 coming out, I am curious as to which one, the educated think would be the best in android capability.
My preference would be the LG QUANTUM, as it has a qwerty keyboard.
I am open to other suggestions. HTC seems to have the more hack friendlier phones, but have yet to see a gsm wp7 come from them with a keyboard.
thanks for your input.
PS: Since most of you will ask, I love android. the look feel, and features, however its game suck. So i have an ipad for GAMES, and general browsing, and with the same reasoning I also will be getting a windows 7 phone for GAMES, and because its new/different. According to my wife i'm obsessed. My toy drawer has lots of old gadgets in it (psp, dsi, etc), but who cares what women think!

I am trying to decide on a new phone. The carrier is not an issue, I've had a rooted mytouch, a rooted nexus one, stock evo4g, and currently now have an epic 4g. Multimedia and apps are very important to me, the iphone4 looks good, but my current phone my be better. Am thinking about a windows phone but don't know anything about them. Any suggestions?
If you are looking to mod/play with your phone do not choose a winmo7 phone.. Not quite yet. It simply is what it is and they are so new the apps are not there yet. As far as apps the iPhone in sheer quantity has the most but Android is where the devs are turning to more and more. There are also a lot of apps on android that are not on an iPhone. The new Nexus S is an amazing fast device as I have been playing around with mine and the SAMOLED with its curves and anti smear screen IMO out plays the iPhone4s smaller not quite as bright seeming screen. I work at att and see the thing every day and still feel Samsung has really got the best screen (apps). Windows has done well with this new operating system but is still very new, Apple will be Apple, blackberry is great for non-Gmail email and Android will let people play with what they wanna play with. Depends totally what you plan on doing beyond media and apps
I say go for the HTC Leo. Great perfomance, great screen, and it runs WM 6.5, WM 6.5.x, Android, and soon hopefully WP7
