[Q] [BUYING]Which new phone price around $700?

Hello all,
Im planning to buy a new phone with a maximum price of around 700 dollar. I was thinking about the iphone, so there is my price based on!!
I want to use my phone for music and movies, kind of media center. The camera isn't an important part. Just for the basic media. Also i like to have fast internet.
Gaming isn't also not really necessary.
I had touch and a qwerty before. I like the qwerty but touch only is ok too! So some options i would like beside the iphone! And how good is wm7? Because the interface looks extremely cool!
Thanks in advance,
Wouter

1. Basically, I do not like any of the WP7 handsets...beside...all of them are very cheap now...HTC Trophy is under €200 here where I live...they are simply a fail product to me..
2. I am an Android freak so I will pick an Android such as Samsung Galaxy S2 or HTC Sensation.
3. If you like iPhone 4, well... I am not a fan of it either...but you might also wanna consider it.
4. Nokia X7 and E7 are also not bad...you might wanna consider them too.

Forgot to be mentioned, E7, X7, Galaxy S2 and Sensation are the newest flagships.
They should have the best hardwares at the moment, even iPhone 4 is old compared to them.

never by symbians mobile for a while as the market is not improving with it as the android phones and the iphone are worth value.if u want a android phone of worth $700 here s the list
see for LG Optimus Black P970
Samsung I9100 Galaxy S II
Samsung
Google Nexus S I9020A
HTC Incredible S/Desire S/Wildfire S
Unless nokia is releasing thr windows phone by October we have to depend upon android OS

If you want the best of the best, I will narrow down things for you.
HTC Sensation and Samsung Galaxy SII are the best there is at the moment.

I checked the HTC sensation since i love the htc phones. I really like it. And it's android. By the way symbian ill never buy. Well, since im not really a fan of samsung i really want to eliminate that one, because i had two samsungs and i couldn't work with both.
Another question is, where is sony ericsson, is it completely off the market?
And by the sensation is mentioned on their site: 'Surround sound'. What kind of sound should i expect, not some crappy beta sound i hope? Someone that has experience with the phone?
Thanks for all your answers.
Greets,
Wouter

Sony ericson? well...Sony has not release any new phones, which I like...but the Xperia play does not look very bad either.
The thing is, if your eyes are already used to Sense, Sonys UI looks terrible

For 700$ (depending where you live) you can get most of the new phones. I myself would go for an Samsung Galaxy....unfortunately i am still stuck with my HD2 .
I was never a fan of the iPhone and for sure my next phone will be one with an Android system!

I've had a captivate for around a year.
It's pretty, and fast. Any Galaxy S/S II phones are really nice. It's pretty good for media. It has a decent battery. I have really enjoyed the phone.

Go with the Sensation if you like Sense 3.0. Or go with the Galaxy S 2 if you like Touchwiz 4.0.
The Galaxy S 2 have a much bigger internal storage by the way.

Low memory size is very typical for HTC
Just like my Desire.

[Q] Which dual-core phone to buy???

Hi guys,
I am kind of confused which dual core cellphone to go for... I need some help from you guys..
Below are my options:
Motorola Razr XT910
Samsung Galaxy SII
HTC Sensation XE
Sony Xperia S
BTW, I am from India... any other optioins?

I am using Galaxy S2.
But, I think Xperia S looks good.

Save Money and buy HTC from One Sersies, if not Xperia S will be best.

S2 is a good choice, Touchwiz makes it easier to use. I haven't tried the others but I've heard that Motorolas blur sucks. Xperia looks good but I don't know anything else about it.
Check some reviews and see which suits you the best.

Don't be afraid of the thanks button!

Sony Xperia S!!
Or Samsung Galaxy S2!!
But I prefer the Xperia S, more beautiful, with HD screen, 12Mpx camera (I know, it doesn't mean a thing, but Sony is really good with camera lens), Timescape is more beautiful than TouchWiz. The S2 is quite common. But the Xperia S has a quite high SAR :/ I don't know if you care about that.

I would go with Galaxy S2 or HTC Sensation. Both are very nice and have been upgraded officially to ICS. Although if you plan to flash it with a custom ROM right out of the box that doesn't matter much.

I have an S2 and I've heard nothing but praise for it for anyone really. The Razr has good hardware but Motoblur ruins the experience. I'd wait a bit, in two weeks they should be releasing info on the S3

I would go with the s2 for now but rather wait for the s3 or the quadrant core optimus 4x hd

Sony Xperia S

SAMSUNG GALAXY S II or wait for SAMSUNG GALAXY S III!!

Xperia S is best choice!

Definitely Samsung Galaxy SII I'd say.

Thanks a lot guys!!.. I think i am gonna go for SII

Sumsung galaxy sⅡ is cool。。You should better buying it.

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!

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..

Don't know which phone to buy

hello, all
i need a good android smartphone (not to big) with nice camera. This will be my first smartphone, first i was thinking about HTC ONE S, but the mess with processors (s4 changed to s3) made me not to buy it event it was a perfect pretendend - very good camera, not big, powerful. Now i'm thinking about GALAXY S3 it has best specs so far, but I don't know if i will feel comfortable with the size of that phone, because my hands are not big.. As i read some forums about SG3 some people said that he is doesn't worth that money.. what do you think guys ? Is it worth to buy SG3 or better to wait for some new phones appear ?

I would say go for the HTC One X, was worried that the S3 would best it when it was released, I've used both for decent periods of time and i feel the X has a much better user experience

Not too big with nice camera? Maybe Xperia P?

I went from an HTC Aria to an HTC Inspire 4G, and I can honestly say that you would probably get used to it, whatever the size gap.

Galaxy s3 is very good.

If you're big with camera and specs and everything, there are nothing better phone than SG3. One X is decent too, but is more laggy than SG3 and has less software feature.
If you are OK with bad camera and OK with last year spec, highly recommend GNex. Best phone IMO, especially with Jelly Bean

Why do you want a high-end device for your first smartphone? Then there's no way to improve on it. I would recommend to buy something more moderate. Would also be less expensive in case you brick it. Quadcores don't really do anything for you, they don't really run android any faster in my experience.
I can tell you that it is not very enjoyable to have a larger screen than you prefer. It's a good idea to try a few sizes to narrow down what size fits your taste.

go for a xperia s.cool design and awsm camera.

Sgs3 hands down, so many more pros than cons compared to the HTC one series phones.

ehh
Galaxy S3 is an amazing phone, but if this is your first smart phone, why not go for something cheaper like the Galaxy nexus (another amazing phone) Yeah it doesn't look as nice on a spec sheet, but it comes stock with jellybean now and is overall a very nice phone.

Galaxy S3 vs HTC One X vs LG Optimus 4X HD which one?

I have big problem. I can take one of them (or any other). But dont know which one is the best. I hope yours opinion will be helpful for me.

Galaxy s3

One X has better camera, better software and it's definitely made from better parts in case of body. Although, S3 has more powerful CPU and feels snappier. Samsung has Super Amoled HD display, wich has very good color saturation and contrast. I would go for One X, cause I prefer Sense UI Try those phones in the shop and you'll find the answer

I know very well specific of every phone. I forgot to write that I love to play games on telephone and often using internet. I heard that GG2 in S3 isnt so good. I also heard that HOX battery life is poor. I also like changing roms. HOX with varranty problem isnt recomended here. LG is good choice but its forgotten by devs and still doesnt have root.
I will change it on november on Galaxy Note II or iPhone 5 so maybe tell me which one will be have still good price?

.
s3 is the best among them you wont regret buying it its the best for now, several times better than my old s2..................
