Got my Desire in October 2010 with eclair on it. Updated it to froyo with the original update. When gingerbread update came out I waited to see what to do. I decided to skip the original one and in early November 2011 I decided to root and try Supernova by Droidzone, which i still have.
My big dilemma now is, since I have an upgrade offer from my mobile company to renew my contract. Get the Sony Ericcson Xperia Neo V for free and sell it to get the money and keep the Desire which thankfully is still heavilly supported in XDA (but we don't know if and how successfull an upgrade to ICS will be), or sell the Desire and keep the Neo V which has better specs and will be officially upgrated to ICS? Any help/suggestions?

So...could you then let me know what the difference of my thread is in contrast to other ones in the General forum that talk about replacing desire with sensation and many other similar threads? Just the question mark at the end of my title maybe? If so...i just took it away, so you can put it back in the General section

TO THE NOTEPAD!!
HTC Desire //
Pros -
+ You can sell the Neo V for 300 bucks
+ Hardware wise it isn't SOOO inferior
+ Gigantic unnoficial support
Cons -
- No official ICS
- Adreno 200 GPU sucks
SE Xperia Neo V //
Pros -
+ Amazing screen with Bravia Engine technology
+ Official ICS Support
+ Superior Hardware
Cons -
- Small Dev support
- You can sell the desire for only 150~200 dollars at best
If I were you I'd stick with the desire and sell the Neo. Then, next year I'd buy a Xperia Nozomi or a Galaxy SIII
Thanx for your reply mate!
Hmm...maybe I have to add something for your notepad pros and cons which will be even in more favor for the xperia. The Xperia neo v is sold for 200 euros here as brand new. So sold as "second hand" will be about the same price as the desire.
Regarding development..its brand new, probably there will be more support as time goes by.
Big dilemma!

I just did, in my message that you just replied to (all of them were just below my one, they couldn't have been missed, plus they are there for some days)..with tapatalk is not easy for me to point you to threads. Also..my message does have a question mark at the end anymore, it has an exclamation mark.
Ps. Too sensitive...to depend on just a question mark. And even more...in not all of them. Right thing should be all or nothing.

Currently owner of sensation but i do want a galaxy nexus because i am an app developer. But thn i see rumors like htc edge witch looks even more awesome.
What to freakin do: D
sent from Sensation with awesome cm7!!!!
Senny isnt bad, if you really like the Galaxy Nexus and can afford it, then go get it, its a nice piece of work, the screen rocks!
You'll be ok with the Senny though, so maybe you can wait for more time, new phones come everyday, if you like something, then take it, or you can wait for something even nicer(quad-core! )
Although, having ics out of the box is a plus point, and as you tell you are an app dev, so it'll help you make newer and better apps, but your phone would get an official update soon.
There is ALWAYS something better just around the corner, you could just wait forever for the next best phone and never buy anything!
wait for galaxy s3

Always get the Nexus. New hardware comes out every month but only the Nexus will run the latest stable version of Android on day one. As a consumer that's great but as a developer that's essential. Plus Sense on Honeycomb is crap and will probably be just as much on ICS.
So i have 2 lines with Tmobile. One which i currently upgrade to SG2. The other one is my wife who still has Mytouch 3G 1.5V. Her upgrade wont take effect until another 5 months, which sucks. She very much liked HTC Sensation, she has no need for Amaze or SG2, since they Sensation is powerful enough to handle her every day use. I was looking at EBay and noticed a few new going for $350, way cheaper if she was to buy them from Tmobile.
My question is, would this be a good idea? What are the steps i should take if I buy the phone to have Tmobile set up 4G and everything it needs? I know i wont get any warranty by Tmobile, only by the maker. But are there any other downside to this? upside?
The upside is you wouldn't be in a contract. I believe you would only need to pop in the sim and set up the APN settings to match the ones on your SII. Just make sure you are buying a T-mo sensation not an AT&T sensation

Sorry to post it on wrong section, though i did. To Dark lord, thanks for the responce. I will make sure to do so.
Right now my dev phone is a Samsung Captivate...but my carrier is Verizon! Anybody suggest any Verizon smart phones I should use just for developing but I would also be able to use in the future? Running my stock Droid X2 as a daily user and can't risk to mess that thing up. Comment with suggestions guys! Thanks!

Maybe a Droid 4? Seems like there's good connectivity for development in that all the Motos use the same base and that's what you're already used to.
Otherwise I'd wait and see if VZ gets a worthwhile HTC or Samsung in the near future.

What are those Droid 4s going for on the net? Because I'm definitely not getting it through verizon...lol.
Galaxy Nexus
You should either wait for S3 or the new ZTE/Huawei, cheap phones with quad-core

HTC Rezound is the way to go. Its hardware is far superior to any other devices on Verizon's current lineup, it's got an unlocked bootloader, and we've had quite a few breakthroughs in getting AOSP, CM9, and Sense 4 ported over.

Personally, I think you could wait for this April till HTC's new top devices will be for sale.
I'd rather not buy iPhone if I were you, for plenty reasons: price, display, iOS, form-factor, etc..
BUT, i think we can help you better we know how much you're going to spend

Galaxy Note is better.

It depends do you want a vanilla android experience or a skinned experience. If you get the SII (or wait for a One or SIII) would would probably have a batter phone but be stuck with wimax (unless you wait) Unless you really want Vanilla I wold suggest you wait till may~ to see what is out.
i would say SII will be better once it gets ICS updates
