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).

suggest me android smart phone

i got 3 option
HTC Desire
HTC Incredible S
Google Nuxes S
i am from pakitan so the price for desire is 42K, Nuxes S for 44K and Incredible S is available for 46K
please suggest me, which cell should i buy.

The incredible S without doubt.
It is larger than the Desire (similar size to Desire HD). The Desire is just "old" compared to the other two and the Nexus S is a Samsung and I don't like Samsung phones (hardware and software, the former you can't do much about).

It depends really. Is this your first android phone?
One thing you might take for granted for example is that it will display Arabic characters but it doesn't. It is the top problem on Google's issue tracker at the moment but I have no idea of when they'll fix it. It is possible to get browsers such as opera that can display the characters correctly though.
On another point the Nexus S is a pure Android phone and as such is quite bare compared to HTCs. I have one myself but I did miss the selection of widgets that HTCs come with by default such as the mobile network on / off one. The last time that I looked none of the ones in the market worked on gingerbread.
If you're a new user I'd probably suggest the Incredible and perhaps something in the Nexus line for your next phone after that

thanks baz & jmm
yes this is my first android phone but i don't need Arabic support coz i can use set in english. so u guys suggesting me HTC Incredible S....

Absolutely, no question, HTC Incredible S.

Incredible S!

well HTC now is one of most popular brand, i think same like the others,HTC Incredible S

I would buy the Nexus S in a heartbeat, It would be the best of them. It is Google's version of the iPhone in quality and superior hardware. Those others don't really compare to it. The Nexus S is the only one with Android 2.3 (Gingerbread). The other two are still on 2.1 or 2.2. And the Nexus S is the only one to have a genuine gyro.

@MartyLK
thanks for reply
dude if u r just talking about OS then incridable S is also getting Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) in June so no big deal for me to use 2-3 months old os there is difference of FM radio, camera and sound ......
and incredible S also getting Sense UI 3.0 with Gingerbread

I would buy Incerdible S absolutly

thanks guys.....
i just unboxed my Incredible S.....

Incredible S for sure !!!!!!!!

Why the incredible s but not the desire s?? They are very similiar!! The community is too small for the DS...

I find it to be the most overrated phone out there.
Good, maybe great, but nothing amazing.

+1 for the Incredible S
I love HTC and I'm a big fan of Sense as well (assuming that you root the phone and run sense 3.0 or a 2.1/3.0 mix)

galaxy s 2 or sensation

I've tried them all. I simply love the super amoled. For me there's no match

I don't think desire hd has dual core which losses out to the rest. Eve 3d has nothing special except 3d cam

Ok sensation or samsung I;ve got the same advice from other places. Last to questions to decide. Which phone is more customizable (roms, inteface and etc.) and which phone is with less bugs/problems because I've heard like the Samsung has problem with yellow screen in dark place and low brightness.

I'd go with Samsung over the Sensation. I went with the G2x for my choice but at the time the sgii was not out.

I'd go with the Galaxy S2. A short time ago I had to decide between the Galaxy and the Sensation too. I took my time and came to the conclusion that the Galaxy is slightly better. The display is better, it's thinner and is a real lightweight.the UI of the Sensation is better, but that was no argument that spoke for the Sensation for me, as I was sure to install MIUI anyway.
I'd say you should not listen to others. Take a look at the specs and decide what's more important to you. No matter which one you take, it will be good...Both are amazing!

HTC sensation is old, get HTC Amaze/Ruby, which is a direct upgrade of the Sensation

No question sgs2.it blows any phone fire any thing.take for camera, hardware, screen, but only thing bother me is it has not good music clarity.even my brother samsung galaxy fit beat out all.sgs us way ahead of it in this department.buy akash fromit go for it.
I own motorola atrix.please try this for once.

galaxy s II. Nuf said.

choice a new phone?

i have make a search for a new best phone for me i cant choice wich one is the best
i was thinking about SAMSUNG I9100 GALAXY S II vs SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE vs i phone 4 vs HTC Sensation vs Samsung Galaxy Nexus...which one you will suggest to me for the top use ?

My personal opinion I like the new Motorola Razr (Or Droid Razr in the US). 1GB RAM, Dual core 1.2cpu and seperate gpu. 16Gb internal with SD ext support. 8Mp Camera rather than 5.
The new Nexus is comparable but has 5mp camera and no external sd card support, which I just don't understand.
If you like the Galaxy, version 3 should be out 1st 1/4 of next year. That looks a beast.

you have to decide wither to go with Android or iOS.
if you want more apps, much much less customization go with iOS and buy iPhone 4/4s
------
if you want good amount of apps, customizable OS go with Android
then ask your self do I want a phone or a small tablet if you want a phone remove the note from your list
other phones in the market share the same specs: 1.2 dual core around 1GB ram
5-8 mb camera
I will go with HTC rezound (in US) or the Galaxy nexus or If you like the design of
Motorola Razr its good phone (my friend told me its camera is not that good)
my final personal choice will be the new Galaxy Nexus

You can't go wrong with Galaxy S II. It packs all the things we love in Android - big screen (but not too big), open bootloader, great power etc.

I just love the idea of "Pure Google" phones. I have a Nexus S that I love. I'd go for that if I were you, or even better, if you have the budget to afford it, for a Galaxy Nexus.
Pure Google phones = best support (quick system update deployment), no bloatware (I'm not a fan of TouchWiz, Sense and others).
Of course it is a bit irrelevant once you install CM on them, but there's something that makes me feel good to have the brand Google on the back of my phone.

and remember, tinkering with Apple stuff is a futile effort! unless you work for them. which i suppose is like a gang initiation in / out. basically apple-ites live on their own little planet.

I heard that the sound quality on the s2 is not as good as the first version.

i was thinking to buy the htc flyer but with the samsung note maybe i change my mind because i saw the specs for that device and i think is better to have 2 things in one devices and more more cheaper

In my opinion the Galaxy Nexus is the best you could get because you can be sure that Google will support this phone a long time and the hardware is really nice.
The second phone I would choose is the S2, brilliant screen and epic phone.

Hi, I had the Captivate, then upgraded to the SGSII. Now my wife has the Cappy. I just put a rom in the I777. Working great. I love the SGSII.
Just my 2 cents.

i decide that i wont buy an iPhone and i will stay with the awesome android OS.
but i want to learn more about the Samsung phones ...like how to root each of them and if i can root them.
what phone have the best screen from the others and the camera.
also about the best custom things like roms and hacks.
battery life and also the best and more important part what are the problems they have .
And if their is a compare video or site with all the samsung phone i am interesting

What about SG note? Weird that nobody recommends it

That is very simple, HTC Sensation.
It has design, beauty and class over others.

Get iphone because remember if u have an iphone, u don't have an iphone.

The HTC Sensation is very nice. I love mine. Even after buying the HTC Amaze I STILL use my Sensation. It feels very nice in the hand...and you can buy white battery covers which when combined with a new ROM, make you feel like you have a new phone.
Pipsqueak approved this message

I recently got a HD7 with windows phone, and i gotta say, its really nice.
its buttery smooth, fastest growing apps market, etc. the phone is also really nice, fast, good size, good weight, nice screen, not too bad of a camera (cant beat a real camera ofc, but still).
just my opinion.

None, go with the One S. HTC has the best UI and the One S has basically the same hardware as the Galaxy Nexus, plus it has a better sized screen.

Galaxy Nexus

ONE S !!!

Galaxy nexus for me. I like the fact that you can have the updates before everyone else because it's a google phone

Haha, yeah sure. My nexus s was on 4.0.3, while galaxy nexus was on 4.0.1... I would advice you the one s!
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk 2

the galaxy nexus is $400 from google unlocked which is only $150 more than the htc one s
so you get to stay off contract and cancel whenever you like.
However the htc one s has a much better camera, not only MP but also because htc added some tweaks and stuff
The one s also has sense 4 which is good if you're a fan of UIs.
The nexus is a google device which means it should get updates quicker than most phones unless you root and flash a custom rom
The htc one s also has a better feel because it's not as plastic-y AND COMES WITH WARRENTY FROM TMOBILE (which is very easy to claim)
EDIT: nexus has a better screen but one s has beats audio
nexus has nfc while the one s doesnt
if you like to mess with phones, i recommend the one s because of the easy warranty exchange with tmobile

Ons S is the best! but poor batteries

according to reviews in my country, one s has very good camera (high quality foto). Very hard choise You wanna have support from google, take nexus.
i would prefer one s

The CPU in the one S is much much faster then the one in the galaxy nexus. The 2 Krait cores perform as fast as or faster then the 4 tegra cores of the tegra 3. The Adreno 225 is also a powerful GPU.

Galaxy NEXUS FTW!!!!

Get the nexus
Here's why
1.The battery
2.NFC
3.NO UI
4.THAT GODDANG AMOLED
5.Updates and ROMS

In terms of physical looks, the ONE S looks better to me.
I guess you have to try it out, maybe read reviews too.
OS-wise, I suppose the Nexus would basically work like maybe a Galaxy S2 with CM9, the stock ICS experience.
Then on the ONE S theres Sense 4.
Theres the feel of the phone, is it comfortable to hold, the weight.
Does it feel good in your pocket.
Or you are the tweaker and have the knowledge to bend any of the phones, within its limits, to your liking.
For ONE S there should be less custom stuff to play with as its new.
And if you are an accessory fan, consider if the phone will be popular or not.
When I got my HTC Desire, no shops seem to be selling any case for the phone locally.
Luckily theres a free case from the telco but its 'barely there', in the end got one from eBay.
If you're ok with online shopping then its fine, I suppose.

It doesnt matter that HTC is the best or Galaxy Nexus is designed by Google its all about the Hardware and Software combination of the phone its advantages and disadvantages its performance and other things needs to be watched. So my choice is Galaxy Nexus.

Prefer one s. seremic body and UI will give you a perfect experience. Basically nexus is great. You will get the latest update and great camera shutter speed etc. But android growing fast. Time to feel new thing..
