Dont get the Nexus one right now. You're paying way too much for a phone that is "commercially outdated" in many respects. What you do get though, is the massive userbase that is available here in XDA. If you think that alone is worth the retail tag, then by all means, go for it.
Also, I've heard the Pentile AMOLED screen is crap on it. Hence why I suggested the original Galaxy S which has a SUPER AMOLED screen.
Cheers.

The thing is that i change my cell phones evry 6 months,im a freak about phones,i have the Lg Arena,iPhone 3g,3gs,then a Hero and now Leo,all in 2 years...the nexus have alredy the froyo update but the galaxy S will get the update late in this year,am i right? But the thing is that the Droid X will be released this month too...that is a quietly brilliant phone and will serve froyo...and one more question..if i buy an HTC Evo on ebay...does it work on 3g here in my country...(Croatia)???

Come on guys...is not a small decision for me! Please share your oppinions...help me to chose the best smartphone on the market!

I don't see why it matters. If you change your phone every 6 months, it should be irrelevant what you get now. People already told you their suggestions, what else do you want? I'm sure you're not looking for an e-mother to make the decision for you, right?
Just pick a phone, use it for 6 months, and be gone with it.
P.S. There is no such thing as the "best smartphone". So stop trying to choose one based on that non-existent criteria. Pick whichever you like.

Honestly I see Android as a fun/young/immature/promising OS, played with it and got bored quickly...
But is not for me (at least for now) I am quite happy with WM with all it´s pros and cons, I think as a very stable/business/experienced OS

Completely agree, the best phone is the phone you have!

Go try the Nexus...you won't be bored and the screen is awesome!

Ok thx guys...i see that im booring to you guys so the last question ... Keep the HD2 or buy the NEXUS OR DESIRE ???

Personally I would keep the leo at least till Christmas. Theres gonna be a lot of killer phones coming out for the holidays that will be amazing. Right now your basically just moving around laterally looking at numerous versions of the same phone. The HD2 chef's just cracked the linux/android kernal so things are starting to happen with the HD2. I'd say with in a month or two we will see a decent version of android on it. So in my humble opinion stick with the HD2 till something truely better comes out. Right now they are all basically the same phone with a different sticker.

Which phone is better according to you ?

Desire Z,
Evo 4g,
Desire HD,
Dell Streak,
Samsung Galaxy S.
Or should I wait for any November releases ?

Galaxy! Best screen ever I swear!

Dell Streak is available in India now & is a worthy option but i would suggest you to wait & go for the Desire HD

I'd wait for november or possibly android 2.3 phones

Omg galaxy S oufcourse thats best phone atm on market screw other thats the phone u want and u need i have it and its awesome

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.

Ok trade evo for shift or epic

Ok my chick wants my evo and I have a chance to go back to the epic or try the shift I need help on to decide if I want to keep evo or go for the other two 4g phones plz help me thank u bc den wise on evo is great and I know what Im doing from easy one click root and recovery too everything else vs adb Idk how and steps wise with shift and some what epic plz tell me good opinions thanks people
Sent from my PC36100-EVO-using Tapatalk

Eh, with the shift you would have the newer Snapdragon plus a keyboard, but you lose the bigger screen. The Epic, there's dev work being done on it so it has froyo through custom roms right now, but not official until the 22nd of this month I believe.

The epic is getting froyo on feb 21. I say get the epic if you like a bigger screen. The shift felt like a hero with a keyboard. I've messed with the shift. Doesn't feel any faster than the epic. 4.0 screen is the sweet spot for me.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

Ah see that's nice official froyo so hmm it just sucks if I go to epic bc I just got a defender otterbox for my evo so my chicks gonna have that and then I got the white back piece to it she will have that too. She's taking all my goodies along with Ima miss sense and I doubt there's roms out for epic that has sense. Plus they don't make defender otterboxs for epic and I don't know why. I just wanna try somthin different and I'm pushing now more towards epic but I still need options.
Sent from my PC36100-EVO-using Tapatalk

I would go.with the Epic 4G. The slightly larger screen that is also better is a plus for me.
I have the Captivate which is the same phone as the Epic sans.a keyboard and I love it; albeit if I could have a keyboard I dont think I would go for it.

I need so options people but im starting to push towards the epic but i have about a week and a half to decide so let me know plz thanks

I just bought the evoshift via ebay and I plan to sell my evo.
I don't ever want to deal with samsung... I like HTC build quality and the shift will get dev attention soon enough. oc to 1.8 stable 1.5 not bad

What from a I can hear, you guys seems to be in favor of HTC phones. Im looking into upgrading phones and I was curious as to whether or not the Evo is better than the Evo shift. Those are definitely the two leading phones in my opinion but I wanted to know if you guys had any thoughts from being direct users.

See the only thing stopping me from shift is the screen size and no front facing camera and lower mp on camera vs 8mp so that's about the only thing really why I'm pushing more towards Samsung bc its stays in specs with the evo pretty damn close

evo is better

go read up in the epic section, the majority of people hate it.
Go check out the shift section and you will see the opposite.
Just got my wife the shift and I have to say that it I'd a fantastic phone, and the camera is good.
Plus samsung support is god awful.
Scent phrum mie fone!

Epic
i would go with the epic, the keyboard is amazing

I'm so confused Idk what to do

Epic hands down! It's super easy to root, about the same size of the evo, you don't compromise screen, and they got some great roms

[Q] Best Android Smart Phone

Hi all, I just wanted to post a quick question. I'm looking to upgrade from my sad Kyocera Zio M6000 to a top of the line, best in the market, Android smart phone. I thought I was going to get the HTC Thunderbolt until I spoke with my sister who works for Verizon and she said to hold off because it's having issues right now with switching from 3G to 4G. So I wanted to check here and see what you all think right now is the best, top of the line android smart phone out there. The most powerful, can handle -ANY- games out on the market, can record HD video, has 2 way camera, all the bells and whistles and is going to last me liekly years before I even think about getting a new one. I made a mistake getting my Zio and I've been regretting it for 10 months now and I don't want to make that mistake again. I plan to play game son it, watch movies,.. everything on it .. I appreciate all your responses and thank you for your time! ")

Samsung Galaxy S 2.

there are loads of good phone out there, but it depends on what you want to do with it, as lot of people root there phone and put custom roms on there.
if i was you i would wait for something like the HTC Pyramid or if you really want a android handset then go for the Samsung Galaxy S 2, but it is upto you mate.

Best Android phone in the market: The one YOU can wait for.
Right now, Galaxy II.
Soon, stay tuned.

If playing games is important to you, though not the best, you should be getting the "Playstation Certified" Xperia Play that opens you up to those Playstation titles on top of the normal Android ones, and you get a near PSP controller that you don't get anywhere else.

Google Nexus S i think

if you can, wait for the Nexus 3

ok maybe I should have qualified this with 1 other thing, a phone I can order service for and setup this week or next. I like the idea of the Galaxy S2, but last I looked it's not out till the fall and I need to replace mine right now lol.

LG p990 i think :O

for me there is no better idea than my desire at the moment

I rather enjoy my Samsung Fascinate; although I did have to manually hack in Android 2.2...

My Desire HD, I think!

why dont u go for honeycomb tabs

HTC Desire HD !!
Is he best smartphone this time !

What are everyone's opinions of the HTC Thunderbolt? I keep considering that one as well due to the fact it seems to be the top of the line right now from Verizon. And yes Monty, I am in the US.

Heard lots of good things about the thunderbolt and it has some pretty great dev support. If I could pick any Verizon phone right now the thunderbolt would be it.

Galaxy Gio
Well I have this one, more because of size and weight than anything else. Of course all those 4 inch 800x480 + displays and dual cores are better but are also bigger, and tend to drain battery faster.
Anyway I would love to have something in the same size as the Gio but with the "power" of Galaxy SII

WAIT, I must say, when it comes to a phone and games Samsung has the best hardware but horrible software support (updates). As of now, hTc is behind the game. So far they haven't released any phones that even get close to competing with the Galaxy S II. Wait for a better Galaxy S to get on Verizon and GO. The Fascinate just doesn't get the job done either.

Droid Charge? It has literally everything you have mentioned. I personally would choose the Nexus S or HTC Sensation when it comes out. Droid Bionic will also have everything you are asking for and the Atrix 4G also seems pretty future proof.

Atrix is fine but motorola doesn't seem to provide OS-Updates in a serious manner.
I'd head for Nexus S. Strong hardware and probably quiet fast updates to ice cream and beyond.
Nevertheless I love my defy and wouldn't change for a nexus S but I'm not a gamer

Appreciate the answers but let me qualify this a step further,.. I want to replace it in the near future like this week or the next so of the ones out -now- which is the most powerful? I'm starting to think I might have to go iphone 4 but I really would prefer not to go that proprietary! lol

Maybe evo 3D? Or xperia play which mentioned by hon kin above

Try LG Optimus 2X.... Dual-core with Nvidia Tegra!! Should be the most powerful one available in the market for now... gsmarena.com for more info...

Well truthfully it depends on which carrier your going to go with. As of right now T-Mobile has the G2X which is an Nvidia Tegra Dual Core Device and I believe it has Full Root now at least it looked close to it when I checked in on that forum on here a week or so back. Also most Android phones can be overclocked so look through the forums at the newer devices and see what they are doing there and how active it is and that will give you a better idea of what to go for considering the devices that are good and will get updates faster than stock tend to be the one's with the best reputation and like I said updated before stock. I personally have the T-Mobile G2 and the MyTouch 4g both Rooted and Both with Custom Roms and also Both Overclocked and running Gingerbread which is not released for Either phone Officially and I have yet to have issues running any games and don't get much screen delay at all on either of them. The G2X fyi is the American version of the LG Optimus 2X.

Xperia PLay Would be great..you will hav a big screen with PlayStation And Android Support in one device...

Nexus Prime!
just wait for the nexus prime!!!
just a week!!

Optimus 2x
Yes i love my Optimus 2x with Thanatos 4.1 custom overclocked 1400mhz dual-core rom so much that i bielieve it is the best for gaming.....
I have never try anything else xD
