Hello,
I have always had Blackberry phones (a Pearl and a Tour) and have really enjoyed them. However, in July I will be switching phones, and I think I will get an Android phone. The biggest reason is the app availability is so much higher for the Android devices.
My wife has had the Droid Eris, and just recently got the Droid X. I hate touchscreens, and hated her Eris. However, the X doesn't seem so bad as far as the typing goes. Here is what I am looking for:
1. Has to be available for Verizon.
2. 4G doesn't matter to me at this point.
3. I mostly browse the internet, would love to use Flash. Watching videos would be nice. Big screens are nice too!
4. I would like Gingerbread.
5. I am not afraid of modding/rooting.
6. I tend to put a decent amount of apps on my phone.
Here are the phones available to me in my budget:
Droid 2 Global
Droid X
Samsung Fascinate
Droid Incredible
Battery life, signal strength for 3G, phone speed/power, voice clarity, good speakers, decent camera (still and video) are all big factors.
What do you recommend? I am leaning toward either the Droid X or Samsung Fascinate, and modding it to get rid of the bloatware (and in the case of the Fascinate, have Google be the default search).
What do you recommend? What stable, reliable mod would you recommend me use with that particular phone?
Droid 2 Global: Probably the slowest of the 4 you mentioned. Only recommended if you must have a physical keyboard
Droid X: Great aftermarket accessories and support. Gingerbread in process of being released. Speedy, but lacking in screen capabilities.
Samsung Fascinate: Fastest of the 4 once you root and ROM it. Amazing screen. Great developer community here on XDA
Droid Incredible: Still a good phone, but a little on the old side. With the Dinc2 released, don't expect much more support on the original Dinc.

The D2G has the fastest CPU in terms of clock speed, is it really the slowest?
What do you mean by lacking in screen capabilities for the X?
For the Fascinate, what would you recommend for a ROM?
Id recommend the evo its fast and has a ton of memebers to help u if ur stuck

Desire HD FTW!
Thanks for the suggestions guys, but its pretty much narrowed down to one of the 4 in my original post.

I would even narrow the 4 phone to only 2. I would either chose between the:
Droid 2 Global (better specs on paper)
Samsung Fascinate (2nd on paper)
Since I don't have any experience on modding an Motorola i will skip that part and leave that to someone who does.
The Samsung Fascinate has a big community on XDA for modding and optimizing your phone. Great mods are MIUI and Cyanogenmod both are able to run on 1.3 Ghz (stable). Als good rom is GingerReal (don't know if its already available for Samsung Fascinate).
Good luck chosing,
Nick
Motorola does have nice feel and build quality, however, the fact that they're locked down really limits what you can do with them if you're the type of person that likes to have control of your device and play with fun root things. I originally had a Droid 2, which was fine, but ended up buying the incredible because of the awesome development community, custom roms, kernels, etc.
I haven't used the fascinate, it seems like it would be kind of so so out of the box, but could be pretty awesome with a custom rom. Another plus of the fascinate would be the super AMOLED screen.
I don't even think Verizon is selling the incredible anymore, they've phased it out in favor of the incredible 2 (ok specs, but locked down), but you could find a pretty good deal on eBay/Craigslist if that's the way you want to go. I love my incredible, only downside is that the battery life could be better, but that can be helped with kernels, underclocking, undervolting, extended batteries and the like.

Motorola's are locked down? In what way? I can get a refurb Incredible pretty cheap through Verizon, but if the Motorola's are limited in some way, I will definitely lean toward the Fascinate!
Motorola locks their bootloader meaning no truly custom roms, kernels, radios, etc. No cyanogenmod on moto. There are "roms", but they're essentially just skinned versions of the official Motorola rom. If you like customizing, the incredible or fascinate will be the best bet.

Samsung Fascinate. I was using it for the longest time before I got the G2x on t mobile and the Nexus S 4g on sprint. The fascinate can be rooted to gingerbread and several other custom rams. It is very fast with that awesome Super Amoled screen. Video streaming and stuff is great as well as the fact that its one of the only Galaxy phones that have a flash.
Great thanks everyone!
Droid 2 is slow due to issues with the RAM used and how it is configured, so I have heard.

I just check with a friend who owns a D2G and he tells me te same. If you really want to mod and customize your phone when stock just doesnt cut it go for the Samsung.
90% leaning toward the Fascinate now...
Fascinate, hands down. amoled screen is amazing, crazy fast, almost impossible to brick. gotta decide on the rom/mod on your own, lots of choices
samsung's is really gud....+1 fascinate
Not to hijack this thread, but what do you guys thing, the DX2 or the Fascinate? I just want a phone that has a nice screen and is fast. I know the DX2 isn't rom-able yet because of the lack of sbf files, but what do you guys think?
I have read stories of people having signal/reception problems with the Fascinate, and they trade them for the DX with much better results...that makes me nervous.
Also, what is the status for Gingerbread for the Fascinate? The Droid X has it...
I know their are probably a bunch of these threads already out, your probably tired of seeing them so bare with me please, I'm a noob.
I was granted an "early" upgrade. I was on the phone with the rep and I had to pick a phone at that moment, I wasn't allowed to call back, long story.
Anyways, it was between the Nexus, Rezound and Razr. My old phone was Droid X and X2, customiztion was horrible, I swore to myself I would never go back to Motorola because to this day there are only around 3 ROMs out for it, hell CM is still not complete for it. I've always like the UI on HTC phones, don't know why I think it's a great UI, looks wise. I've never had an HTC phone for a long period of time to determine how the UI runs long term. And with the Nexus, you can pretty much customize it how you see fit, from what I hear? I haven't had chance to go to the store to try any of these so I'm basing everything off what the rep told me. So it be nice to get the "real" advice from you guys.
So I ordered the Nexus, I had the rep on the phone for an hour while I was Googleing information online. It was between the Nexus and Rezound. I don't know too much about these phones but at first I was leaning toward the Rezound because of the faster CPU, removable sdcard, the better camera, etc. But the Verizon rep who was an HTC user before recommended the Nexus, he said the phone feels like a different world, that UI is very sleek, clean and friendly.
Did I get the right phone? I know I have 14 days to decide but I really for once want to get a phone and not have to return it. So what are the big noticeable differences between the Nexus and Rezound?
Also, I was wondering about this:
- The nexus has an unlocked bootloader unlike the Rezound?
- Will the Nexus eventually have Sense roms out for it, I like the Sense UI and I want to get back into flashing a bunch of different ROMs. I haven't been able to do that sine the OG Droid b/c my Droid X is a POS!
- How is the batter life, my DX couldn't make it through the night.
That's all I can think of now, I appreciate everyones help and listening to me ramble on, I just want to pick the right phone.
Nexus, Rezound, or Razr?
I'm in a similar boat. I have a phone coming my way, but I'm not sure which I want... I have a Thunderbolt currently, running CM7, and I love the AOSP experience. I'm leaning towards the Nexus, but at the same time, the RAZR is absolutely epic, and the Rezound has a lot of awesome goodness. I hate Sense, and Motoblur (or whatever it's called currently).
I know the Galaxy Nexus has a couple of problems, but how severe do they actually affect the useability of the device?
To the OP: If you like messing with roms, nexus it always going to be the best way to go.
Definitely the Nexus. The rezound hasn't been rooted yet. The Razr is a motorola with a locked bootloader...enough said. The Nexus' issues are all software related and will be fixed with OTA's and custom ROM's.
I'm curious to see how many fools say SGSII in this post.
I got the Nexus today arrive a few hours ago. I'm going to play with this for a few days and make my final decision. I like ICS already, but for some reason I like the Sense UI on HTC phones. I'm going to try and hit up a Verizon store soon to check one out.
Just curious...
I have the option to trade my Infuse for an HTC Inspire (non HD version). Both phones are in like new condition. I know many of you have multiple phones so any advice?
Before deciding on the Infuse back in August 2011, I considered buying the Inspire but I found that the screen was not as clear and bright. It reminded me of old, grainy LCD monitors. I also don't really like SenseUI but that is an easy fix with root/custom ROM.
I would also check out their forum on XDA to see how they're doing over there (I do this with EVERY phone I think about purchasing, lol). I have heard HTC offers codes to unlock the bootloader for most of their devices so that's a plus also. If you plan on rooting it and loading custom ROMs, I would also definitely check the CyanogenMod and MIUI sites to see if they offer ROMs for it. Every little bit helps.
YMMV but seeing as how they're very comparable in the spec department, you should seriously consider it. I know I did.
I've known a few people with the HTC Inspire and it's by far one of the worst phones I've ever seen. Now, granted that's probably 90% due to HTC's ****ty software, and a custom ROM would probably help it out immensely (I tried to convince my friends to let me put a custom ROM on, but they'd prefer to just whine about how much they hate their phone *shrug*).
I would suggest that you take caution in swapping for that phone. The Infuse is by far a better phone, but the development community is dead, which is why, I assume, you'd want to trade it. Otherwise there's no reason to trade.
The dev community is dead huh... must be on a different infuse forum than I am bro.

My only reason for considering it is my mother has the HTC and likes it better due to the size, easier to txt. The screens don't even compare. I have no issues with my Infuse and would have to flash back to stock for her but I don't want to swap for a phone that doesn't handle custom ROMS, Apps well etc. I was just thinking about helping her out. The size is no biggie for me.
Thanks for the input
I have an htc inspire running abcession ics 4.0.3 OC to 1.92g and it is amazinglly fast and smooth.... its all up to what YOU want bro.

I'm guessing you mention size because the Inspire is smaller. Honestly, the Infuse FEELS smaller to me. The Infuse is a little bit taller, it's width dimensions are nearly the same, and it's quite a bit thinner which gives it a smaller feel to me. I find the Infuse much better feeling in the hand than almost any 4.3" phone due to it's thin lightweight design. Being that it's only a tenth of an inch wider, I don't think it would make a whole lot of difference in texting for her.
Most important factor is you said flashing back to stock for her. This is where a HUGE warning flag pops up. HTC's Sense UI is absolute dog **** on that phone. It crashes frequently, it slows the phone down incredibly. That phone has turned more people to iPhones than any other Android phone I know. If you'd be running stock software, then I HIGHLY suggest you avoid the Inspire. Sense used to be something you WANTED on a phone, and Sense 4.0 looks like it's getting better again, but for a while there I wouldn't have taken a phone with a Sense based UI if you paid me. If you're willing to put a custom ROM on it for her, then the Inspire has some decent ICS ROMs as dman mentioned, and probably even pretty good Senseless GB ROMs, but stock, no way. It reminds me of the original stock version of Eclair on the Captivate. Slow as dirt. At least that's my opinion and the impression I got from using several friends' Inspires.

I meant that I would flash my Infuse back to stock for her but wanted to be able to flash solid ROMs to the Inspire for myself. IDK, I have no issues at all with my Infuse but I didn't want to get stuck with a shotty phone. We'll see just wanted some input in case I swapped.
Thanks Peeps
Your exactly right... the inspirebis extremely slow and laggy stock... it needs a custom rom to run at its full potential

Oh, I completely misunderstood because I didn't read well enough! Yeah, I dunno, that's a tough choice. For one I think the Infuse is an entirely better phone than the Inspire, but the Inspire isn't that far behind and does have some decent ICS ROMs where the Infuse doesn't, so that's tempting. I don't think I could give up my SAMOLED+ screen though.
Brother had an inspire before i got the infuse. I find the inspire to be thicker and heavier than the infuse. Those are big problems with me especially when the infuse runs with a bigger screen and battery. Plus once you go super amoled you just cant go back

Between the infuse and inspire, I'd take the Infuse just because its thinner and has a better screen.
I wish HTC came out with a thinner phone. Of all the factory UI's, I enjoy HTC's the most.

before coming to the infuse i had the htc inspire..the infuse is DEFINITELY a step up in my opinion. A lot of bugs on the inspire including issues that many were finding, as well as myself, that when you used the flash on the camera the phone would restart itself.
1300 mAh vs. 1750mAh.. enough said for me.
I still have my Inspire. DO NOT TRADE FOR AN INSPIRE.
1) Screen sucks.. Seriously all washed out.
2) Lack of codec support. Playback of MKVs sucked even with other players.
3) Stupid useless unibody design makes it heavy and impossible to replace the 1280mAh battery with a higher capacity one.
4) No internal storage.
5) The camera sucks.... Ok maybe it's not the camera but instead the software. Videos and pics are compressed much more than the Infuse. Oh... The lens sticks out like a nipple. WTF HTC?
6) No HDMI-out if that matters to you.
6 cons off the top of my head. HTC really dropped the ball with the Inspire. Dumbasses.
I've had the infuse for quite sometime and picked up a inspire a while back on Craigslist and have to admit I haven't really used the infuse since. I'm running ice cold sandwich on my inspire and its smooth and fast. but really its ones personal preference but myself I like the inspire but they are both great phones with great roms to use get both and switch back and forth

Totally off-topic but... here's one.
Man i got both phones and DO NOT trade the beautiful infuse for the Inspire 4G i repeat DO NOT trade!.
The build of the Inspire "feels" kinnda better being heavier and having a nice design but BELIEVE ME that 1230 mAh batery does down FAST, the camera does not compare to the Infuse camera, and the screen quality on the Infuse is just not reached by the Inspire.
They are both GOOD phones, thats why i bought em both but I you can only have one, keep the Infuse ALWAYS.
Don't do ittt!
I just traded my old Inspire for an Infuse about two weeks ago. Let me tell you that it is one of the better choices I've made! I would stick with the Infuse for the screen alone, the Super AMOLED screen is beautiful! Probably the easiest screen to read in daylight that I've ever seen. Apart from that, the processor (at stock speeds) is faster and I also find the camera to be better on the Infuse (software maybe? Cause aren't the cameras the same?)
My inspire is running Abcession by the collective ICS 4.0.3 and it makes my infuse look sad... apparently you don't know how to set that inspire up... its a beast. Able of OC to 2.1 ghz on ics... its a beast...period

So I'm betting I'll get a lot of hate for this, but I ended out trading my galaxy nexus for a Droid charge. Honestly I needed money so I traded someone for a charge plus $200, I thought it was a good deal.
To be honest, after using the charge for about a week I almost like it better than the nexus. I had the nexus since release and in my opinion the charger's screen looks better. ICS didn't wow me like everyone else, not yet at least.
Regardless, I'm not as disappointed as I thought I would be. Running tweaked 2.1 is excellent too. I still have an upgrade available so I'm thinking ill go with HTC again once they release something with a big screen.

The hardware is. The screen wasn't anything to brag about (Rezound's is nicer and released around the same time). The cpu was definitely a step backwards compared to the Exynos in the SGSII, as well as the gpu. Crap radios that are worse than the charge (I'm not sure if this has gotten better). But what makes the Gnex amazing is two things: pure ICS goodness and a HUGE dev commutity - larger than any other phone on Verizon has had since probably the OGDroid. To me this is enough to outweigh the relatively weak hardware.
P.S. The rezound is pretty much the opposite with good/decent hardware but crappy software (I hate all skins be it Sense, TouchWiz, Motoblur, etc.) and much smaller dev community. If that phone would get a fully functioning AOSP rom (AOKP or CM9), it would be better than the Gnex IMO. The only drawback would be the tiny battery.
After using it with ICS for a while I didn't find anything that was overly impressive about it. In fact the software keys at times were more of a pain.

But the software keys would be a hardware issue since they're only there because hardware keys were omitted. Don't get me wrong, I love Tweaked on my Charge (dwitherell is a scholar and a gentleman), but I will take AOSP any day over a skin-based rom. The biggest draw (for me at least) about ICS, other than the ui, is hardware acceleration.
I have at least managed to mimic (somewhat lol) the ICS ui with my TweakedICS theme but it's still not the same. I am content enough though.
I had the charge and I didn't like it. but with $200 extra not a bad deal. overall both of you had a good deal

I have the Rez, and I must say, the development is surprisingly good. No AOSP, but we do have some nice ICS leaks that work quite well. I'm running S-Off with the latest RUU and with CleanROM developer edition. It is very fast, clean, and it is fully functional. Radio reception is good and I get amazing battery life on the extended. Just sayin'...
My Charge is running Tweaked with PBJ, and it is great. I feel pretty lucky that I have, IMO, the two best phones on Verizon.
I bet the Incredible 4G is going be a nice phone, though. I honestly think that the GS3 will be somewhat overrated like the Galaxy Nexus, I just can't jive with pentile.

Sense ICS =/= AOSP ICS. Also, the dev community is still miniscule compared to the Gnex though. I mean come on saying you have amazing battery life with the extended battery is cheating. It's like saying you get amazing mileage on your car but converted your trunk and backseat into an extended gas tank, lol. Almost any phone can get amazing battery life on an extended battery . The Rezound is fast though and has the best screen on Verizon with great radios. That's why I feel the hardware is better than the Gnex but on the software and dev side I still think the Gnex is much better. To each his own though, and as long as you love your device that is ultimately all that matters. I'm still trying to pick up either device on the cheap but I might just wait to use my upgrade in early June.
To me the Incredible 4G is a disappointment spec-wise. I feel like it's a gimped One series phone. Also the screen is too small for my taste. I was really hoping the Incredible 4G was going to be a OneX equivalent a la Evo 4G LTE .

I can see what you're saying, however, CleanROM is de-sensed, and is just very clean all-round. There are plenty of tweaks to make it nicer. I run a custom launcher (keep going back to ADW). But yeah, I get great battery life on the extended, lol. I haven't tried the stock battery, so I can't really comment on that. I agree the Incredible 4G is kindof a pansy phone. The HTC One X is where its at. Good thing I didn't have the money at the time, because AmazonWireless was selling the AT&T HTC One X a couple weeks ago for $530 off contract. Yeah the 16GB internal only storage sucks, but I have other devices with tons of storage.
The screen on the HOX is the best of any phone (of course the same as the new EVO.) In fact, I'd go so far to say the HTC One X (S4 Krait AT&T version being the nicest) is the best phone, period. The lingering question is development. I don't think the AT&T version has an unlocked bootloader yet. AT&T apparently strong-armed HTC into removing the htcdev unlock method.
Also feel like I get an extra hour of screen on time with the charge.

After thumbing through the specs I was disappointed as well. Would have been great if the screen size would have have been made competitive with other maker's top tier phones.

Just bought a free Droid Charge from Amazon for my wife ($.01). Can anyone tell me a great ROM that is fairly currently supported for the Charge? I just want to quickly throw a nice ROM on here for her before I hand it over to her and never touch it again.

Tweaked. Great rom, and it comes with tweaktools that you can use to theme, tweak, and upgrade right from the phone through a simple menu interface.

Hello, I am currently on a Rogers Captivate and I am going to be getting a new phone in a few weeks. Would you recommend this over the Galaxy S3? I really love the screen and the hardware design but I am worried about Android Development.
coming from a Cappy, I love the One X
I think I'm one of quite a few Captivate owners who have held out and just love the look, feel and size of the HOX.
I really wanted to buy a SGSIII, but after it's release was not as excited as I thought.
One week with the HOX, and the Cappy feels like a dinosaur. One thing I always liked was the look of the Captivate, didn't look or feel like an Iphone 3gs or Pantech cheapie.
Same with the HOX, I really can't remember what the 4in screen looked like, the HOX just looks, feels, performs right. Don't know what else to say.
Wait to try the SGSIII in your hand, you'll know then . . . can't really lose either way!
I came from a captivate of 1.5 years and all i can say is that this device makes everything effortless. My captivate overclocked to 1.4ghz felt pretty good but this device puts it to shame completely stock. If you haven't seen the One X in person, check it out. The screen is much easier on the eyes and the feel is unsurpassed. I am completely satisfied, this is the happiest I've ever been with a phone.

Given that the bootloader was just (unofficially) unlocked recently and there are already a bunch of custom ROMs, I'm actually fairly impressed with the amount of dev for the device so far.
