Are there any chances of nexus two getting in US market in november

Id say with for the Nexus 2 (or Nexus S whatever its called)
I feel its going to have the best of both worlds, Samsung Galaxy S hardware combined with stock 2.3 Gingerbread.

keeping my fingers crossed It should be what ppl are speculating.
What would be priced at anyways ? around $600 ?
If that doesnt happen.. I might go for desire z(for keyboard .. not sure )... Are u facing any hinge problems ? Hows the battery life ? My usage is extensive

Wait for november 8th (acorrding to gsmarena) the nexus s or nexus 2 (what ever you would like to call it) is hopefully going to be anounced.
If that doesnt happen, any of those on your list would make you a very happy man.

If i had another choice over my desire hd it would be the desire z only for keyboard function. either way the dhd handset is sublime and when totally permanently rooted i think its gonna be my fave new toy since my first ever game boy back in the day lol ;P

How much of difference is having a hardware keboard with 3.7 inch and virtual keyboard with 4.3 inch gonna make ? I m confused. Desire Z's battery life should be definitely better than that of DHD's. I m too confused over these two.

Go with a Galaxy S phone
Super nice 4 inch screen, easy to use, the best phone I've had

all these people with their gs phones, go with the evo, or the desire z
personally i have an evo and a galaxy s and i dont care how saturated the colours are, all you will see is pixels all over the place, the evo you wont, and its one of the busiest dev forums on here, youll be sure to gingerbread before any of those others if it isnt realed straight to them, and if it is, youll still probably have it soon after.

I m pretty sure if not expected Nexus 2 i might end up DHD or DZ .. but its gonna be tough choice between keyboard vs screen size ..

I'll choose the last Samsung Galaxy ,I'm using a Samsung,I think it's OK.

[Q] Which phone should I get?

I'm going to replace my HTC Wildfire with a better second-hand phone that still retain Android as OS, possibly with ICS support, even with rom xD.
For a budget of 200€ (250$) which should be the best for multimedia, gaming, etc..
Thanks in advance ^^

LG optimus 2x Speed

HTC is very nice...
When you have 280€ you should buy HTC Desire S .
I have it too.
It´s great

I think LG X3 will be better option it has marvelous specs but you have to wait for it....

agree if you can wait for the LG X3
that would be a good option

Wait for the Samsung Galaxy Note LTE
Wait til Feb 12 and the Samsung Galaxy Note LTE will be out for AT&T for $250 there is nothing better til the SG3 comes out this Oct

A lot of the cheaper Androids can be overclocked to run at excellent speeds. I wonder if there's a chart comparing speeds between overclocked phones somewhere.

Its coming out for 299$

Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App

Based on the available(by Feb 18) phones on contract in the US, I don't believe there is a phone with better specs than the Note. If you can't handle the size of the beast, maybe wait until the Skyrocket HD comes out probably in March or April.
I for one am getting the Note on the 18th, mostly cuz I don't use my device as a phone much and want it more for the mini tablet aspect.
I don't believe the GS3 will be in the US for at least 4 months, because they haven't even announced it yet and when they do it will make the euro tour before we see it. I can't wait that long.

I think HTC EVO 4G is good

Honestly you should purchase the Galaxy SII skyrocket from samsung it is worth the buy!!

Samsung galaxy s2, or save some more money and wait for the s3.

Probably the Note is the best deal... but mine speaker distorted and my friend's one home button feel loose after extensive use.
But if the above not happen, then it will be the best C/P device for this moment

The Galaxy S II or the Galaxy Nexus. Samsung has stepped up their game big time. HTC is still good as well but needs help in the screen technology department. Seems like every LCD screen out there can't compare to SAMOLED. Samsung phones are also light and thin.

Ok guys! Thanks to everyone ^^.

What will be the next phone with most development?

Which phone do you predict will have the most support?
I predict it will be the Galaxy S3, for the time being, Galaxy Nexus is the most supported phone from a development perspective.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App

the HTC tegra 3 Device i suppose

From what I have experienced with my previous Tegra 2 phone is that NVidia are not open source which means they don't give out their source making it harder to develop.
Don't get me wrong though, Tegra is super powerful but developments wise, not so sure.
For these reasons I will say that Samsung might get more development support in 2012.

With so many phone choices out there even the development community is fragmented these days.

So you think a phone that is yet to be confirmed, yet to be released, and
specs unknown will be the next big phone in the development world? ok then

Galaxy nexus? Are you serious mate? Have you even looked in the HTC HD2 forums?
Its literally the most supported phone (and best phone) in the world.
I know because I had one And it broke

Absolutely right! HD2 is the most supported phone ever with 5 different platforms (windows mobile, windows phone, android, ubuntu and meego). So u say galaxy nexus? Are you crazy
I also had it and sold it to buy a sensation. It made me taste all these different os' with only one phone. Absolutely the best phone ever.. Thanks HTC and XDA

Excluding the HD2, I'd go for the GS3. The Galaxy Nexus will be well supported too.

Yeap, assuming that Samsung keeps innovating and assuming that they use their own processor and keep releasing their code source which btw, it is most likely a yes to all of the above , I think it will be the next big phone for development and consumers.
Samsung reputation in the mobile world went really high in 2011 and for what I have seen HTC and other companies could see themselves losing a lot of loyal customer if they don't step up their game.
Anyway, I don't deny the fact that the HD2 had been and still is one of the most supported devices but I am also stating that the Galaxy Nexus has the most active development going on at the moment.

Samsung Galaxy Note
For the following reasons:
Decent spec.
screen real-estate.
it's Samsung.
the kind of person who is going to buy that kind of hardware is likely to be passionate about it and probably going to want to make the best out of it (e.g.: Devs)
just my 0.02$.

I was not aware the HD2 had so much support, but it's pretty much guaranteed that the Galaxy Nexus is and will be a safe bet. That said, I had the GN 16Gb, and I was not impressed with the hardware, at least from a cost standpoint. I switched back to the Sensation, half the price for very similar specs.

I have two! (well, my daughters have one each now). If you actually had to use one again you'd be disappointed at how slow it is compared to the sensation, although I prefer the HD2 screen size.

over heard of the htc one series, if i would het my contact soon i would choose one of thoose but before getting them i have a nice htc sensation

The screen of the Sensation seems a tad 'taller' whereas the HD2's (or the Desire HD for that matter) is more wide after handling my friends.

well we are talking about 1 mm(metric system) woch is just so small compared to 1 inch

Wow! I'm impressed with the support for the HD2!
I got seriously lucky by getting a Sensation, I just blindly jumped into it, and the development community for it is just mindboggling.
The Galaxy Nexus does seem like a safe bet though, what with the whole flagship status and all.

LOL I retired my HD2 a loooooooooong time ago... that phone was always overrated to me even with android on it. I also jumped ship and bought a GSM Galaxy Nexus off of eBay and I still find myself using my Sensation more than the GN...if we could get a STABLE version of ICS AOSP on the Sensation I'd probably sell my GN

What device is the best for me?

Hi guys,
I have a question i didn't know where to post this concedering its not for a particular device or platform so i posted it here any way here is my question i have a HTC EVO 3D and i want to upgrade,why do i want to upgrade 2 reasons number one screen size its too small i had a GALAXY Note so when i went back to the EVO its small and the second one is the Processor its fast but not too fast anyway i was planning on buying the GALAX S III international version when it comes out but after i saw the price i was surprised its 800$ for the 16 GB so im stuck with the following and i need an advice (of course if by the time the S III comes out the price drops to around 600-650 i'll buy it )
Here are the phones im thinking of (and if u have other phones please tell me)
1- HTC One X international version
2-HTC Titan II
3-GALAXY Note
Please help thank you.

I'd go for the Note. Cheaper and overall better. Sure the One X is quadcore, but Tegra kinda sucks so the extra buck you have to add isn't really worth it. Titan is quite meh.
Sent from my Lumia 800 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

Go for the One X , the screen is better the CPU is very fast and the GPU with custom roms increase the phones overall performance. I would only recommand the GALAXY Note if you email a lot because it feels like the note is designed for the business person in mind.

I don't know what kind of prices you got there guys but here the Note is about 200€ cheaper than the One X, which isn't that much better, not like 200€-better for sure IMHO. It actually is inferior for some aspects, like screen size (and pentile ain't bad on a 5.3"), removable battery, sd slot, and that pen thing that is mostly a gimmick but oh well. Once it gets even cheaper I'll definitely pull the trigger on one of those. I used one for a day last week, coupled with an extended battery and a Rii Keyboard it proved to be a very nice and portable mini tablet, the tablet mode you get on AOSP ROMs is also pretty sick. Not a great fan of those new Htc phones with locked bootloaders and all that jazz. ICS sources for the Note have just been released by the way, even better ROMs will come very soon, even tho AOKPs are already 99% hack free and rock solid.

Use a website like phonescoop.com to compare them side-by-side. See exactly what each specs are and which one has the specs you really care about. That would be of great help.

HTC One X
HTC Sence UI beats Note in 100 ways

Why not the nexus. Its much cheaper than the s3 and its a great phone. Still one of the best and probably the best price/goodness ratio.

galaxy note is the best
i have one and it's greate

I like the GALAXY Nexus cause of its display and stock ICS but i use SD Card so i need a phone with an option to expaned my memory but i kept the HTC One X cause of its Quad Core Processor
Sent from my GT-P7500 using XDA Premium HD app

I dont know the price is kinda of an issue but and the screen size (im a fan of the 5"screens) its of course better in preformance no doubt but im from the few fans of the Touchwiz UI its more simple than the Sense UIor maybe cause im used to it i had 3 devices with TouchWiz so i find it easier but still the HTC One X stunning camera,preformance and display is a plus
Sent from my GT-P7500 using XDA Premium HD app

Ok but the One X have a worst battery than the EVO 3D....

Galaxy Note or Galaxy S2.. with additional batteries

if easy to hold better take s2 if you want better take galaxy note or tab

I dont know but HTC devices tend to have bad battery life for some reason LOL
Sent from my GT-P7500 using XDA Premium HD app

Galaxy Note very big I think.. You can't touch all screen by one hand, sometimes I you'll need that.. S2 The Best!
HTC good but not good enough

It's a year in, and I'm still really enjoying my Samsung infuse. true 4g would be nice, but the devs are working on Miui ICS and it looks awesome

i used all of them. my advice is : GALAXY Note is a good one if you don't mind the big size. then chose GALAXY S2 !

4g is good.. very good.. great, but in some places there is no 4g unfortunately only 3g or worst.
I'd like my S2 to have 4g, but it's not.. Maybe you'd better wait for S3?

I dont mind the big screen actually i want something bigger than 4.3" i dont know why many people think its too big im really into big devices but not over 5.3" cause that would be really inconvienent for a mobile phone thats why i kept in mind choices like the HTC Titan 1/2 cause i really like the Metro UI and WP is kinda between the line of simplicity and costumizations still android is the best im freaking confused guys tell me more about ur experiance with the devices ur advising thanks

New phone choice for 2012-2013

Hi guys hoping you can help.
Ive had my Xperia Play since new, but its screen has gone and feels slow compared to my mates phones now.
Ive been offered the choice of 3 phones.
Nokia Lumia
Samsung Galaxy s3
Xperia U
Im only really interested in making calls,texts,emails,music,browsing and games. All the other special features that come with all new phones are just a gimmick to me, (My X Play was rooted and bloat free within an hour of me getting it) so things like "Siri" on Iphone and S-Voice on Samsung are not a deal winner for me.
One thing I would like is to be able to hook my phone up to my TV via HDMI, something that was GREATLY overlooked on the Xplay, mores the pity.
So, seeing as im no expert, and you guys at XDA seem to be in the know please vote and if you pick "other" leave a comment explaining what phone and why.
Many thanks guys and gals!
Mr Flipfoot

it is also depending on what you want to pay for it
if it doesn´t matter what it cost
i would choose the s3 by samsung cause it has the best performance i think (and many custom roms of course and official update support)
you could connect it to your tv with the following adapter by samsung:
EPL-3FHUBE
(sry i can´t post a link because im a new member )

I would choose Samsung S3 because of the performance. If you're a mean android gamer then it's great for you. But if I really get to choose, I'd love to have Xperia acro S. It has 12MP, 1.5 dual core, HDMI, 11GB internal memory, up to 32 GB SD card and others.. It also looks sleek. You should search for it. I'm not much on the processor speed. I just love Sony's design and features. A fast, beautiful phone that could do everything I want would be great enough. This is just a suggestion. The decision is yours of course.

It all depends on
1 what is your budget
2 carrier (contract specific carrier or prepaid)
With your requirements and considering all carriers supported
Galaxy nexus, S2 or S3.

I agree with this. People always look at a Nexus' specs and go "it looks totally average, why get that when you can get a Galaxy S III or blahblahblah". Hardware specs will only get you so far. What good are they, though, when your software is perpetually bloated and outdated? I'd rather not be at the mercy of Samsung/HTC/whoever for updates.
The Nexus development scene is second to none, too.

(I'm presuming that you're very interested in games, browsing etc.)

I know i'm getting hated for saying this but am i the only one that thinks the S3 is overrated? I'd rather have a Galaxy Nexus than an S3. And there are quite a few alternatives to the S3 like the One X (Many reviewers say it has the best screen out there), the 4X HD (Also IPS LCD like the One X but with bigger removable battery and microSD slot), the Galaxy Nexus (Sure, it isn't a quad core but if you check out on youtube a comparison between the GN and a quad core phone you will see that the Nexus can be as smooth (On JellyBean) or even smoother not to mention you get all the updates first) also the RAZR MAXX (It might not be the best phone spec wise but it has a huge battery which provides excellent battery life).
Sorry for the bad english.
