Hello everybody
Well Im getting a New phone at the end of the month since My contract with t-mobile expires.
Now I would like to know what (android) Phone and company would you guys recommend me.
My current plan is (500 min unl.Txt and Data) for $59.99 I think .
Thanks in advance any answer is greatly appreciated :3
Will HTC Its every Good you should try them they have lost of modules which you can chose from and so dose samsung good Luck and all the best
I like my Epic (through sprint) and have been impressed by the Galaxy S line that Samsung put out. Just about every major carrier has one.
I would really look at your plan options. You're going to pay way more money into your plan than anything else. Let your phone choice follow suit.

Unfortunately, the ny asian escort regulations still have its imperfections. The use of Internet advertisements has its own ny asian escorts drawbacks. A certain Internet ad may be legal in one state but offensive to the laws of another. Minority age also differs in every state. Though there are sites that ny escorts prohibit free viewing or limit the viewing of their pages to a certain age bracket, technical limitations still ny escort leave actual viewing discretion to the customers.

Hi,
I also recommend T-Mobile, I’m satisfied with this company’s service. I’m suggesting the following of Android phones:
- LG Optimus 2X (first dual core Smartphone which comes with a 1 GHz Nvidia Tegra 2 dual core processor)
- Motorola Atrix 4G (Dual core Nvidia Tegra 2 toting Android Smartphone which runs Android 2.2 Froyo with an Android 2.3 Gingerbread upgrade in the pipeline)
- HTC Desire HD
This thread is helpful (well most of the comments). The Motorola Atrix seems to be like a really good phone. Anyone know much about AT&T data plans? Is 2GB a month enough? I'm curious as to why they don't have "unlimited" plans.
Is the size a limitation for you?
Droid Incredible and Verizon, quite happy, older phone though :/
just go with a phone that suports miui rom is the best

I'm very tempted by the Desire S as it's a size i like and the hardware spec is good. I would have to be able to stick CM7 on there though
It's available on pre-order now iirc.
I'm debating on gettin rid of my jailbroken iPhone 4 for a inspire.
Should I hold off on the inspire for something better coming out?
I enjoy my iPhone Alot and my battery life lol but I can't make my mind up.
User there is some dev support already for the inspire which is a huge plus for me, but I'm getting tired of the small size of the iPhone and it's limits to customizing.
What do you guys think?
Also I came from a rooted Aria and Captivate before I went to the iPhone

this is definitely a great phone. you may want to hold off until a better htc phone comes out with either of the two: dual-core 1ghz or better, front facing camera. If the inspire had both of those, this would be the most beastly phone on the market. if you're okay without both of those, then the inspire is for you. sense is awesome - lots of custom roms with and without - all are quick too! i got used to the size of the phone quickly after getting it and i LOVE LOVE LOVE this phone now. hope you make the right choice for yourself
Coming from the POC Captivate, this phone is awesome!
I do wish it had a front camera though, but not sure when I'd use it...it's plenty speedy though in stock form, much faster than the Captivate.
Dual core would be nice, but I had the Atrix and it didn't seem faster. I think it's all about coding and what you want it to do.
A co-worker of mine is an iPhone to Android user now.. he is happy overall,but does complain about the battery..
I am stock and easily get 2 days of normal usage. Not sure how long the iPhone lasts compared to the Inspire, but I think you'll be happy with this phone. I too came from the Captivate, and am much happier with HTC. Gps is flawless, screen size is perfect for my man hands, build quality is great (except for the darn battery cover )
I say go into a corp ATT store and play with the Inspire for 15 min.. awesome phone IMO.

Stupid question I know but if I were to trade my iPhone for the inspire would I have to go to Att and ask for a 4g sim card?
And also would the data plan remain the same or is it different for "4g" devices?

If I'm not mistaking the sim card for a iPhone is a micro one so you will need to go get a new one and the plans I THINK are the same but you will just have to move to the smartphone plan not the iPhone plan

HTC has no plans for a upcoming phone for at&t. My inspire runs super fast and games and video streaming is beautiful. So a dual core is mainly for speed. Y need more speed if the HTC is super fast? And I would never use the front facing camera. I mean really. I got a Mac for that.

I'd say hold off and see the infuse4g. I'm leery about samsung after the craptivate fiasco but the infuse is getting great reviews from engadget (while they aren't perfect I do find them to be pretty good overall) and I dont know about you but the extra .2" of screen might actually make a big difference, I know the .3" of screen between captivate and inspire were super nice. I will tell you while the captivate had more metal parts the HTC feels better built (except that damn battery cover everyone keeps mentioning, really HTC, what were you thinking?!)
There's no wrong answer when you switch from iphone to android, it's like going from a mud pie to filet mignon, even if it's bad filet mignon it's better than what you had!
And may wanna see what to see if bootloader is locked

Well if you are ATT only I would either stay with the iphone 4 or get the inspire.
This dual core thing is not proven yet. I have not seen one phone that is dual core that is awesome. I am sure I and everyone else will want one in 6 months to a year but right now there is nothing impresive about them. Att only has one other dual core that I have read about coming and its an LG....No Thanks...
Just got done Playing with one at the store, the size would take getting used to.
Seemed sluggish here and there but it's a store phone..and the fact it didn't have any Internet connectivity sucked.
And the captivate next to it was running 2.2 what a pos haha.
Overall it seems really nice, well constructed, pretty smooth as far as animation went.
Now here's the hard part, I can easily find an Inspire on CL to trade my i4 for, but how much cash do I want?

The demo phone didn't have a SIM with a data connection? Ridiculous. They should've at least had it connected to wi-fi.
BTW, Best Buy has the Inspire for cheaper than AT&T. It is $79 there (w/ 2 year contract of course).

It was connected to wifi but kept telling me no connection.
I went to bestbuy afterwards and did notice the price difference but I didn't even waste my time asking anyone of them for help, whereas they complete idiots.
And every phone they had on display was a dummy, what's the deal with that?

I want to buy a few CHEAP Android phones preferably with stock 2.2+ roms, for the purpose of testing some multiplayer apps across lower-end devices. As long as they are unlocked and can access the Market, they'll work. Rooted is not necessary, and physical condition can be anywhere from mint to poor, it doesn't matter since I'll only be using them for testing.
I didn't post this in the Buy/Sell forum because I was wondering if anyone could just suggest some phones that are cheap that I could probably pick up on eBay or online somewhere ... although if you do have a phone you want to sell for cheap then let me know. Thanks!
Huwai Comet and Samsung Dart are $100 brand new, no contract from T-Mobile. I saw a few Comets sold <$50 on eBay, used.
Probably the only way to get an Android phone cheaper than that is to buy used. They are very low-end QVGA devices. You could get a used MyTouch 3G or G1 for well under $100. Even cheaper than that would be an old WinMo phone that can run Android via Haret.
If you have any interest in a slightly beat up looking MyTouch 3G 1.2 that only works on AT&T, send me a PM.
The HTC Incredible is great, a classic and is cheap. I would check that out.

I'm looking up the Comets now but they're all locked to T-Mobile, which means I'd have to spend more money getting them unlocked. It also looks like the G1's are all on outdated versions of Android, and since I do the majority of my apps for 2.1+ they won't work on it.

I've seen used LG Optimus One variants go for $60-80 on Craigslist. The Optimus One runs 2.2 stock, and you can get whichever one is right for your carrier (there's one for each, even the MVNOs).
Low end you say? I consider the myTouch 3G or slide. If you want something with Froyo these days you might need to step out of your comfort zone. Again, the Vibrant is mid-range so get that. It has Gingerbread coming soon I think.

Galaxy 3 is quite cheap.
In my experience, it's best not to take the cheap road when it comes to Android phones. My girlfriend had the Samsung Intercept from Sprint (low/mid-range phone) and it was awful. Everything on it lagged, and simple games were unplayable. If you want to test on some higher-end devices, check ebay for locked phones. They won't be able to be used as phones, but you can connect them with WiFi and use everything else like normal. Another option is running the Android sdk on your computer and testing things that way. I've only played around with it a little bit, but it should be able to do what you need. Just Google "Android SDK" and click the first link.
Verizon locks the phone until you activate for some STUPID reason.

What smart phone would you guys recomend to use with straight talks new byod program using one of their att sims? I'm leaning towards the HTC aria but i'm open to suggestions as I have a budget of around 150. I would prefer an android based device, but am open in that area also.
Thanks in advance!

I'd get something with a bigger screen, I used the inspire for a while on straight talk before I upgraded to the vivid.
I've had an HTC Incredible before with a 3.7 inch screen and that was about perfect for me i do have rather large hands but i dont know if there are very many within my price range that big. I have found a huawei Impulse 4G for 130 with a 3.8" screen but there are practically no updates for it and well i would like to install a custom rom maybe CN7.

Ha, I was going to post a topic asking about the exact same question as OP. I'm looking for a phone under about $150 (although I'd prefer a bit lower, like $120-130) to use with the StraightTalk BYOD thing. I almost bought an Impulse 4G, but they don't have a keyboard, and that's a deal breaker for me. Does anyone have any suggestions? I don't mind eBaying for it.
Also, as a sidenote, I need to use this phone with ATT towers, not T-Mobile towers. I think that's just something you select when you buy the SIM card for BYOD, but I'm not sure if the phone I pick would have any effect on that.
EDIT: Think I may get an XPeria Play on eBay. They looked awesome when they dropped last year. It doesn't have a keyboard, but... Well, I might be willing to trade a keyboard for a gamepad.
I'm looking to join Verizon very soon, but I need to take the cheap way out. Verizon currently has two free phones, the Droid 3, and the HTC thunderbolt.
My question to you, fellow xda-ers: pros and cons on both of them. Both phone will be rooted, go.

The D3's development is finally picking up with bypassing the bootloader. The keyboard is superb, it's fast and smooth, also the camera takes crisp pictures.
Ive never used a Thunderbolt so I can't comment on that device.

With the TBolt you get more current development and 4g, though it is definitely not the most loved phone out there for tweakers. With the D3 you get a great keyboard, strong hardware, but development that is just now picking up. If I were choosing between those two though I'd get the D3. That's actually what I'm considering as something to get me by until a 4G device that I like comes out.

That's somewhat what I'm thinking as well, although I love sense and HTC products, most every Droid I've used is just flawless. My only concern is, is the tradeoff from craftsmanship and a growing development community worth losing out on 4g lte?
Sent from my LG-MS690 using xda premium
How long are you planning on having the phone for? Development isn't really too amazing on either phone right now so you might want to take the baseline features like 4G into account pretty heavily. Though VZ has been screwing TBolt owners over pretty hard in terms of actually getting ICS out, it should come eventually which will mean much easier development of ICS Roms. The D3 faces the same issues as I've seen with the D2 in that devs have to create their own drivers for the Camera, Wifi, and other basic features. For me I can deal with the D3 if it comes to that because it will only be a temp phone for me so if it gets developed great, and if not I'll survive. If you're going to keep yours for two years the TBolt might be the way to go.
I'll just tell you this though: both phones were pretty much DOA and are both cautionary tales when it comes to looking at Motorola or HTC for purchases. No one is perfect but both phones were touted as flagship models more or less and then left in the dust. Aside from me looking at a D3 as a stopgap I have zero plans to ever buy another Moto device and I'm quite leery about HTC. With the exception of the Rezound they haven't offered much of worth on the VZ end.
It would probably be around 6 months that I have the phone. I get very tiresome of phone after about four months, with the exception of a few of my previous devices (evo 4g, and mytouch 4g)

Do you honestly only have free as a price point option? There are some seriously badass phones out that aren't too expensive. The Incredible LTE just came out, it's running ICS and Sense 4.0 natively and also has the S4 chip, same as the Galaxy S3 and HTC One series (US Versions). Costco has it for $60 right now.

If you're looking to join Verizon, aka new customer, there's much much better phones for you on Amazon.

My financial situation currently wont allow me to drop any money on a cell phone. I just became a father and moneys tight, only reason I'm joining Verizon is for coverage (compared to metro pcs lol) and I get a 19% discount from my workplace.

Then honestly, I'd wait until you can spend at least $100 and stick with Metro for now.
The two phones in your price range are already horribly outdated development and specs wise and if you're going to be locked in, I'd want a better phone than those two for a long term period of time.
Unless your MetroPCS experience is that bad, my advice is just wait until you can put together some funds.
My thinking is I get a free one, and eventually ill upgrade. And yes, my metro experience sucks lol. I get absolutely no reception at either of my workplaces, and home.

Glad you like it. On stock 2.3.4 the best thing you can do is root using Motofail and then freeze bloatware as there is a bunch. After than the phone will run much smoother. No official ICS for this phone, but with the recent Kexec progress having a stable ICS/JB ROM is looking more like a reality.
Guess I won't be joining the D3 party as apparently I still have full coverage replacement on my D2. Just hoping it doesn't come with 2.3.4 already on-board. Glad things worked out for you though Dubs.
