USA T-Mobile customer here.
After a year of trying to make the Xperia X2 work for me, many many troubles, I got 2 phones and have a decision to make: which phone to stick with.
I got the Xperia X10i for free and paid $200 for the Sensation (which I can get refunded if I tried).
4g with the sensation is a plus.
Can anyone suggest other Pros/cons for each phone?
Thanks,
xwing
I'd say the sensation of course, if it was the Arc I'd be thinking about, but since it's the X10, definitely the sensation for me.

Have you checked the specs of both phones? Have you read reviews of both phones? Did you try both phones? Coming from a X10i, I can say the Sensation is like a quantumleap forward. Maybe with the new firmware the x10 could be a bit better than it is now.. Still, the x10 isn't a bad phone. If you have a choice, however, I would certainly go for the Sensation!
Pro: HTC
con: Sony Experia
Lol, the X10i is an old and sluggish phone, the sensation is fast!
My girlfriend has a X10i, and she is regretting she didn't buy a htc desire instead

Exactly, even the Desire humiliates the X10.

well i'll always go for HTC... i'm a kind of WM fan but no matter what i'll always choose HTC over samsung or sony ericsson... just my thought...
thank u for your idea. Yeah i learnt that htc is very very pretty brand. But in Turkey, HTC's technical support is very bad. i broke my Hero's screen and i searched a service that can repair it for a week. finally i found one but it was very expensive. because there isn't any screen to be changed. so they bought from another country. luckily my parents can afford this. i'm a lucky kid in Turkey economically. but samsung and sony ericsson, there are lots of technical service for them ! :S i love HTC too, but in Turkey it's not popular...

well u think i should buy an htc. which htc can it be ? desire ? nexus one ?
Desire and Nexus is pretty good.
If you are willing to wait for a couple of months, you should probably get the HTC desire HD aka HTC ace.

I've been looking at new phones for the past month lol so here are some ideas:
Acer S100 Liquid E: Cheap/mid to high range phone/underclocked 750mhz snapdragon/LCD/256mb ram (350$) "its the poor mans decent android phone"
HTC Desire/Nexus One: similar good all around phones/1ghz snapdragon/AMOLED/512~546mb ram (550$ newish 400ish used)
X10: insane camera (8mp)/1ghz snapdragon/256mb ram (490$ new)
LG Optimus Z: not yet released but a beautiful phone
Acer Stream: expensive and the same as the X10 =\ (600$)
Samsung Galaxy S: fastest and best phone on the market currently
personally I'm getting the galaxy S on contract soon since in the long run it'll be cheaper and better than buying a new nexus one
If you're intent on getting a HTC manufactured phone I suggest the Nexus one, since it will probably get software updates quicker than the Desire

there are no contracts when buying phones in Turkey and there aren't any Galaxy S with official selling. If i'll buy it, i'll buy it from another country.
What about samsung Wave ? It's very sexy
htc desire - a no brainer android(you cant go wrong with it..just close your eyes and buy one) but i dont like the pinkish tint on the AMOLED screen and i am not a fan of its look.
xperia x10 - by far the best looking smartphone (according to me)..the screen is gorgeous..but 1.6 is outdated and lack of MT may be a deal breaker..
in the end, it comes down to your personal taste..i went for xperia x10 because of the looks and better sony tech support in my country.. and yes, this was when desire wasnt OFFICIALLy available..
and about samsung WAVE..it has bada OS..if thats not a dealbreaker for you..this is one of the best VFM smartphone iv seen yet..

Buying a new phone just had some questions?
1. i need a fast phone without any lagging or freezing.
will an 800 mhz processor differ much from a 1ghz one
2. i preffer a qwerty keyboard but if another phone is better it's ok i'll learn to use a virtual one
which phone is better:
Samsung I9000 Galaxy S
HTC Desire
HTC Desire Z
T-mobile my touch (the new one)
Motorola Defy
Motorola Droid Pro ( although i needed a big screen )
please state why this phone ?
i'm confused please help
i appreciate any replies
Welcome to the forums
There is no such thing as "The best"
What is best for me may not be for you!!
Said that...My PERSONAL best of your list is Desire Z, because it´s HTC build and has a real keyboard
You said right!
if you want a H/W keyboard get a desire z, but imo you should get the desire, its faster than the galaxy s and the modding community is already established, it may take months n months before it gets going with the desire z, and ppl get used to the hardware

And you know it is faster how? My Samsung Vibrant beats my cousins Desire Z by a long shot with Bionix ROM.. There is a modding community for the Galaxy S phones also, Desire Z isnt the only one

ive got friends with the galaxy s, the lag on that device is shocking, having to wait 2-3 seconds to get into a threaded sms and the gps is probably the worst i have ever seen on a smartphone .......
Desire will be my choice
Agreed! If someone needs a phone that is rock solid and fast, desire line is great. If you think you would ever need a keyboard, the Desire Z is the best on the market.

Only issue I had with the Galaxy line was the cheap plastic feel of the device. It was the eventual deal breaker and that's why I moved to the Desire Z

I had the same problem before choosing a phone if you still didnt get anything i strongly recommend buying the htc desire
Been with me for 2 weeks now
And i can say its very powerfull

How is the battery life on it? I don't plan on using data much.

why is the desire HD not an option?
The desire hd is an amazing phone. I am definitely going to get one when the are available in New Zealand. Hopefully that will be very soon.
I will still need to keep my Nexus One around for a while at least because there is no hacking scene for the desire hd. Actually there may never be one until someone figures out how to bypass the root protection.

I need an unlocked phone
Thing iss my budget is 350
Maximum
I was thinking of getting a x10 used
or just get a samsung s.
Whats your opinion?
Thanks. Andriod only though. can you give me other choices ?
Thank you.
If you like messing around with your phone (Flashing, tweaking, modding, etc.) and the T-MOUS HD2 works in your area for 3G, go with that.
Otherwise, a used Nexus One or HTC Desire I'd say... The X10 isn't what it's cracked up to be.
Who is your carrier and in what country?
i don't like samsung ,because my sister have one , voice of it very low
Well I can start by saying there is a huge difference between a nexus s and a x10. They both suck. The nexus s is a Samsung and it's already falling behind many android phones about to be released, nexus s is much better than the Sony tho. I olwould wait a month or so and you can get a dual core. They are on the way.

Shop around. Keep your options open. Plenty of phones out there that are better than the x10 Sam S. Check Craigslist, ask your friends, etc. You can get a good deal for 350.
Desire Z/G2 is another option you might want to consider.
I bought my new desire hd a week ago and its amazing...highly recomended!
i think samsung galaxy s is the best at the moment
HTC Incredible S is the phone I am opting for. At the same time Desire HD seems to be a sensible choice. Can anyone guide me; which one is Better ? or any other model from the same family with somewhat same budget.
Secondly, this will be my first android. I have heard that HTC phones are best when it comes to Android updates and their special 'Sense' UI.
If any other brand in the market is having better choices in the Somewhat Same Budget ? Not only budget, but I expect a really good functionality alongside good looks.
Hope you guys there will surely help me make my decision...
Definitely go for HTC. Incredible is I think better as its screen is just the right size, not too small and not too large.
check Samsung I9000
HTC Incredible S and Desire HD both are OK.
It seems the camera of DHD is better than IS. And the battery capacity, IS > DHD.
@ hookguy, OmenosTM, evnnetuser. Thank you for your suggestion. I am definitely inclined towards HTC. Just wanted check some better opitions if available. Samsung is really offering some good models but doubt whether is it better to spend about 30K for Samsung instead of HTC.
That's easy!
The Desire HD has got Android 2.2 while the Incredible S has got 2.3 so I'd definitely buy the Incredible S. But if you remove the letters I C R D E B L and add the letters S O A N T, you get Sensation. That's the best phone you can get and I think that the hTC Sense UI makes it better than the Galaxy S II.

Desire hd has now got gingerbread http://www.eurodroid.com/2011/05/ht...branded-android-2-3-update-out-now-in-the-uk/
I go with HTC because samsung phone can get messed up right away if u root it . I rooted my g1,htc hero and never got them messed up. I switch over 40 roms together on both device. Since, getting galaxy it got messed up within a few rom i got it bricked. Even my droid from motorola didnt get messed up . Point is HTC and moto is durable. Im buy me a droid incredible 1 soon. Go with incredible s and HTC. I hate Samsung and their touchwiz isnt a dealbreaker trust me.
So, all you guys think that HTC is always a better option... am I right??
Make sure you go and physically play with the Desire HD before you buy it. It is a pretty big phone. I was surprised how big it was.
Shall I wait and watch the credentials of HTC Sensation and Samsung GS-II ?
My advice to you is to wait for the feedback from Sensation users, GB dual camera dual LED 1080p ...
I'm still thinking the SGSII is gonna be great down the road.
Still rocking the Incredible with the XDA Premium App.
Thanks a lot for your replies guys.
It seems its better to wait for reviews of Sensation and GSII...
And I'm considering getting the sensation, can anybody tell me wether it's worth the upgrade!?
Many thanx
Sent from my iPad 2 using Tapatalk
I've reviewed both phones and I say yes it's worth it.
I'm a big fan of solid overall construction and while the Arc was really sexy it felt a tad cheap and a bit fragile.
The Sensation feels solid.
Then of course there is the Dual core, more ram, etc

Yes, if you were getting it for free. You have to say how much you have to pay for the upgrade, in order for others to tell you whether it is worth it.
Is there any thing about the Xperia Arc that you don't like? That you must get rid of and get a new device? The Xperia Arc is a rather new, slim, and nice device with a good camera.
Granted, it doesn't have dual core, but does that really matter? I mean, if one is buying a new device today, he/she'd better get one with dual core. But that doesn't mean anyone without a dual core phone needs to go get one.
This is just the first wave of high power dual core phones. The Xperia Arc is a modern and rather new device to be upgraded from. As much as I like my Sensation, I would hold on to it till the next wave of high end device comes, probably some time around the end of this year, if I were you.
i owned the sensation for a month now and im loving it especially with S-off now. It really isnt worth the upgrade for you now because the xperia arc is good device. if you really want to upgrade, do it or you can wait till the hercules comes out or the new nexus
Totally worth it. Just rooted and s-offed, flashed the revolution hd no sense ROM and this thing is amazingly fast and smooth. My phone is so much faster than stock and I'm underclocked to 1ghz each core.

The arc is a good phone to look at, im just sick of its ui now tbh. Where as sensations sence looks so sexual lol.

It's really not worth the upgrade. If you're one of those people who always have to have the latest and greatest and seem to have money growing off of trees, get it; I don't really care, lol. Otherwise, if not, my sound advice is to hold off and calm yourself. You have a good device. I spent 2 years with a G1 and just upgraded to a Sensation. Being low on money, I returned the Sensation and am borrowing a friend's old MyTouch 4G which is good running MIUI.

I would say I'm one of these people who get bored of a phone within 6 months unfortunately I bought my arc, so I ain't tied down to a contract with it, but I do have a vodafone contract which is now due a upgrade, so I'm tempted to get a free upgrade. Like I said, the arc is a nice phone, I just don't like the ui anymore, blue this, blue that lol. I'm only interested in the sensation as the new htc sence looks lush

OK, get it then if you want. There's really not much to say. If you could wait it out, I would still suggest getting a better phone. You can wait a few more months without a problem I'm sure, and get a Nexus Prime or something
