Please recommend a good phone for my friend.
She is thinking of getting the Galaxy S but she is not sure.
I have the X10 and she likes its design, camera and the screen size.
She likes to text.
Needs a good camera for picture and video.
Prefer actual keyboard to touch screen ones.
Likes the phone to be sleek but will compromise for a good keyboard.
Thank you
Samsung epic doesn't sound like a bad idea
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
any galaxy s wouldn't be a bad choice, could also look into the g2/desire z
stay away from Samsung...
well, if you are rooting and flashing savvy i don't see anything wrong with samsung.
hTC Desire
Samsung Galaxy yes
I think the best should be samsung galaxy
I would go with a G2 actually
Samsung Epic is a good phone for anyone who wants a keyboard.

It seems she want the galaxy s pro. Is that the samething as the epic 4 G?
can the Epic 4 G be unlocked? does it work with sim card?
thanks everyone for the reply. I will take a look at all the other phones metioned too.
I've been using an iphone for years now and I sick of IOS and its lack of usefulness IMO.
Anyways I'm looking to switch soon to andriod any suggestions on phones or manufacturers? I have heard from a friend that HTC is the best for rooting is this true? I'd like to root my phone so I dont want to end up with a phone that is locked down.
I am currently looking at the samsung Galaxy S II, Driod Bionic and HTC thunderbolt. Though I hear the driod bionic may not be rootable? Any other suggestions?
I'm open to service providers though I am looking at verizon right now.
Sorry if this has been asked before I tried to search but didnt find anything.
I'm starting to research now so any help would be appreciated and any website suggestions would be awesome too.
Thanks for the help!!

HTC evo is very good. Anything from HTC for that matter
+1
HTC is the way to go. Samsung is cheaply made.

Samaung galaxy s 2 is on the top of my list

The galaxy s2 is a nice one on paper, I haven't tried it myself but I believe it would be good. I wasn't a fan of the original galaxy s though, it felt very cheap and the touch screen wasn't as good as the htc's. I used the htc desire and really liked that one, htc makes some brilliant phones, that feel well-built, well programmed and really stand out when you actually use them.
I think either the galaxy s2 or a htc phone would be good, I'm liking the look of the HTC sensation myself. If you're looking for a dual core like those though, I believe it would be best to wait it out for a while and see how the development goes for them.
thanks for all the suggestions how are samsung phones for rooting? or does it all depend on the development community picking up the phones?
no problem at all with rooting, personally i would suggest you'll get a fully customized rom for your phone - these are much faster than the stock firmware and rooted by default...
For google, make the Maps 5 with navigation to be available completely offline, like you can do with OVI Maps in nokia.
Okie dokie, before you start reading, here's a disclaimer:
Code:
Disclaimer:
1.I am not responsible for your eyeballs burning and getting singed by my terrible handwriting. You have been warned.
2.I am a complete amateur at concept phones and design and I apologise for the lack of any digital drawing software and whatnot. You agree(I wish) that you shall not flame me for my atrocious drawing skills, grid paper drawings or my bad handwriting.
First of all, here are the links:
Nexus 3:http://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/5860140936/in/photostream/
Nexus Tab:http://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/5860140956/in/photostream
Okay after a quick glance, some of you might already be assuming my concept devices are based on the recent spate of device announcements and rumours. Let me confirm: The Nexus 3 concept was created way before the LG P930 rumours, and the Nexus Tab concept was also created before the announcement of Huawei's 7-inch android 3.2 tablet.
Now, on to the Q&A.
1.Why do you have a overclocking button on the face of the Nexus 3? That's dangerous!
A:I was thinking: since Intel is actually building Turbo Boost into their processors and it is advertised as a feature, I figured that with android also reaching quad-core-prowess, we could do the same. Also, if you tab the boost button, a warning and disclaimer will pop up on the screen, with warranty voiding and whatnot. And we are not upping the voltage, just the clock speed, so extra heat, the cause of processors degrading, will not be produced.
2.Seriously. The Nexus Tab is only 6.6 inch?
A: Remember, this is just a concept device. Anyways, I found 10.1 tablets to be a strain on my wrists and somewhat less ergonomic. So, I set out to create a concept tablet that would ease the wrist and finger stretching and be portable and lightweight.
3.Why LTE on the Nexus Tab? Why not WiMAX or HSUPA+?
Well, LTE is likely going to be the only kind of 4G network in use in Asia, and we couldn't miss out on a whole continent!
Yep. So comment on my mistakes, slips and praise my wonderful ideas(if only)!
A Nexus Tab would be awesome.
Wish Google would jump on that one.
Personally I guess a nexus tab might be released just before the ipad 3.

Sent out of my Free Candy Van.
Just adding on, Ice Cream for phones and tablets is probably gonna be quite different due to differences in screen size and how one holds the device.

I like reading A LOT, i have 4GB of epub book on my sensation ( the average book is ~1mb so do the math how many titles i have)
Now the 4.3" screen on the sensation aint quite for reading, im looking for a tablet, which one do u recommend (mostly for the reading aspect, so a screen in probably most important, given the fact that i will be looking at it for a long time)
P.s kindles arent for me, id still like to have a powerhouse( asus, g.tab, xoom, ipad, jetstream etc)
So what can u recommend me?
P.s the htc reader app is hands.down the best

Nothing worth that price. If you don't mind the screen size... Grab a nook color or something. They're going for one hundred shipped. Or get a regular asus transformer.

He said powerhouse, not trash.
Get the Asus Transformer, since its mostly for reading, dual core is more than perfect. Handles movies and music very well too. And the keyboard attachments is amazing.

I think the htc evo view/flyer might be a winner. I haven't used it but I've been searching around for a while and waited for the htc flyer. then changed my mind according to reviews. however, there is a large customer base that love the htc evo view for note taking and reading especially. With the price drop to about 280 its definitely a steal or grab a used one for cheaper. I just bought it from an xda member on here waiting for it to arrive.
Then maybe in a few months maybe get another tablet or see what the ipad 3 looks like.
The htc jetstream i hear doesnt work as good as the view fyi.

For reading, the iPad 2. I have one and reading on it is a joy, especially now with iBooks 2.

Thread moved to Q&A due to it being a question. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.
Failure to comply with forum rules will result in an infraction and/or ban depending on severity of rule break.

Awe toche couldnt have said it better myself... lol. I would with the Transformer, I would wait though till they release the revised version of the Prime. All kinds of GPS issues and what not plus it going the same price as the original Prime. Or you could wait for the Asus MeMo.
If you find a deal on Lenovo K1, grab it. Can be rooted, and powerful,
with reasonable price. 1280X800 resolution.

Toshiba Thrive
Bought a Toshiba Thrive for my wife. Of course I use it more than her. It's wonderful. Dual Core processor, Nivedia graphics, 10 inch screen. Very fast, responsive. Plus you gotta love having HDMI out, USB ports. Rooted and it becomes even better.
iPad 3 releases soon?
I like the power of Android Tablets and I like the Asus Transformer; how will they stand up to iPad 3?
Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 Plus - I own this tab and it's perfect for reading. Just the right size for holding with one hand and very light. 10" tabs are too big for comfortably holding and reading for long periods. This tab also has great specs and is very responsive. I've had no issues running any apps or games on it.
Read the reviews.
I love my Galaxy Tab 7.7 for reading - powerful enough, is light as hell, and has a better screen than any other tablet available at the moment (just put it next to anything you like and the difference is obvious).
Plus its reader sized and will fit in my jacket pocket/jeans back pocket.
I've heard the galaxy tab is pretty damn good, but yea like others said Asus prime is pretty good
Ah dammit now.. i hate so many choices -.-"

My friend is speaking in my ear that GS2 is way better than Xoom, I tell him no, another friend (Galaxy S2, Xperia X10 and iPad 2 user/ passive Xoom user because I let him use) tell no too, so let's proof my friend he is wrong.
He says the awesome ppl says that, but no one is more awesome than XDA, so please post here with your opinion and why

I agree, what is better for you depends on your need. I have both, and find the xoom more indispensable and definitely better for web surfing, email, calendar work, and the periodic movie. You just can't beat the real estate (screen size). If phone calls or texting are top priority, then SGS2 is your choice. It is a great phone and I love it, but the screen is too small for heavy work. If you need everything and truly must rely on one device, I'd recommend the international version of the samsung note. I'm actually waiting on one that will replace my SGS2... just want more screen to make it more useful. The international version has the same internal hardware as the SGS2, and is nearly as fast (a bit slower due to pushing more pixels).
Nokia 3100. Don't even look at anything else, its the best by far.
