just asking because I'm needing an new back up phone.
I'd assume Nexus ones.
Galaxy s and Nexus s as far as i know. Correct me if I'm wrong.
S2 as well, but Nexus is the only true dev-open phone.
well not the t-mobile ssgs2
i have the Samsung galaxy 2 and there noo great roms i am using beast mod 4..2 i like beast mod but i am looking for a back up phone that is well dev'ed so i can have a stable more problem free phone i would like to get a droid 2 global or a my side kick 4g
p.s witch phone is better side kick or droid 2 global
if you really like to taste a lot of roms and have the latest builds i think ill choose somethink like nexus s or galaxy nexus, they are google phones, so they will get the latest updates.
Hmmm the best is the HTC HD2. It get everything fast

I don't know that quantity is better then quality. ROMS for thunderbolt seem as solid as the phone itself.
HTC Thunderbolt running MIUI
EVO has a lot of roms and good quality ones

Agreed with nightcrawler, solid roms there as well.

After taking the advice of a few members a year ago to upgrade from hd2 to a dhd (good call BTW) my time has come to upgrade once more.
Question is what to get next ?
I'm a big sense fan and love romming my phones so what should I get ?

I advice you of waiting for Samsung Galaxy Nexus that it's coming out on October 19
Yeah definitely Nexus Prime/Galaxy Nexus... It'll be the first ICS device and the next one in the Nexus Line, so younshould have a pure Google experience and everything will be open.

No Sense though.. Not a fan of launcher pro either..
Any Good HTC's on the horizon ?
well, if you want an HTC there is the HTC EVO 3D that is really a good smartphone
with sense of course
I haven't owned many phones. Although, my first Android phone was an HTC HD2. Now I have a Nexus One, with a broken power button and I cant have much fun with testing ROMs with it, as I did with my Leo. My Leo broke, which is WHY I have a Nexus One -____-
SO IM CURIOUS WHAT ARE PEOPLE'S FAVORITE PHONE(S).
LONG LIVE LEO!!
I would have to say the Epic 4G, the original with a physical keyboard. With CM9 this phone is great and I do not regret buying at all.
Seems like a great phone, i would totally use it if i had sprint. Thanks!
now im using galaxy gio, nice phone, nice camera and worhted to buy
just in my opinion
Seems like it has some great development as well. Thanks for sharing!
using Galaxy Nexus , this is the best phone that i have ever seen
For this moment it is HTC Desire, always up to date and very good design and reactivity
Right now I'd have to say the HTC Sensation XE. It's my current phone and I did quite some comparing before I bought it. But with what I see coming the next years, I think my next phone will become by then-all-time-favorite and so on.

I currently have the sensation. I'm up for an upgrade. I have a choice between the one s and the Samsung galaxy s3 . I hate touch wiz and I feel the dev presence is awesome on HTC. But the Samsung is completely awesome. So if I could get feed back it would help. It seems a bit off sided because I can only get one s and not x
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA
Well, if you hate touchwiz, then there's not really anything you can do about it. Of course some experimental sense might come, but they aren't gonna cut it. Go for the one s, you'll not regret it
Sent from my HTC One S using XDA
GS3 has more features. But touchwiz could be gone with cm9 when it comes out or apex launcher to get u by. I will probably return my one s on the 19th since its my last day to return it. But this phone is good though. I just need a removable sd card since u only get 10GBs

I think you should wait for review on the phone. Usually some site will get it before release date ( phonedog,etc).
I like samsung, but its too plain for me and big.

Go to engadget.com they have a review on both phones.
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda premium
Development on the GS3 will be greater, and faster, since Samsung doesn't lock bootloaders, or lock the phones with S-on.
Now ask yourself; did I really just read that? Yes you did.

They also release source in a timely fashion. They dropped source for the SGS3 the day it went on sale in Europe.

Yeah I think I definitely getting the s3 I need removable sd. I just ain't feeling the unibody. I loved my galaxy vibrant but I'm a sucker for.new devices
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA
I would go with the S3. It has a bigger display and its hd compared to qHD. Plus it has a micro sd which is incredibly useful since the one S barely has a lil under 10GB of storage.
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
If it weren't for the size of the GS3, I would say absolutely go with it, since really the only thing the One S has over the Galaxy is its a reasonable size...and sexy slim. Other than that, the GS 3 either matches or trumps the H1S in every other category.
Sent from my HTC One S using XDA Premium
I got this phone free w/ 2 year contract. Its a great upgrade for me. But if I were choosing a phone that money didn't play a part in it, I would get something else.
Get a phone w/ a removable battery and micro SD card.
Sure I'm happy now, but cell phone batteries only last 400 - 500 charges. No way around that. Good class 10 SD cards keep getting cheaper.
I will be sorry after a year or so with this phone. But I'm happy now.

Hi folks,
I have been using my HTC desire s for the past 1 Year and em feeling a lot intimate with it. recently my screen got cracked and so I plan on getting a new mobile, after a big walk around the forums I found HTC sensation and Galaxy s2 are the ones having a good feedback and also fits my budget. Now em in a duo of which one to select I like htc sense ui a lot but Samsung is well known for its source code release stuff (I'm a flashalcholic). Please suggest me a good mobile my budget is 400 to 450 usd (max 25000 INR)

EVO
I'm a lil baised but the EVO 3D or the 4G LTE seem really good but I've also heard the Samsung Galaxy S2 or S3 are both great devices and all of those are in your price range.
Ive had the htc sensation and the galaxy s3 not the s2 but me personally i would go with the samsung galaxy s2 seems to be alot of development for both phones but the s2 being more popular would have more devolopment with newer roms in the future i would think. Plus the screen on the galaxy is s2 is better then the sensation in my opinion
HTC One X
Sensation and S2 are both old phones. Or a Galaxy Nexus, much cheaper choice.

Galaxy Nexus. You will have much better and prolonged support with it.
S3 as it is one of the best devices at the moment with very strong spcs. However galaxy nexus is also a very strong device. It like i9100. ( little weaker) but as it from google sources, it 'll get every new software update. Don't forget that nexus s has jellybean 4.1 and galaxy s (i9000,9001,9003,9030) gingerbread 2.3.6!!!!!!!

My contract is almost up and I've been looking at phones, both upcoming and current. I'm also on att now.
My current phone is the Samsung infuse and I've been using many ROMs on that device. I've been looking into the HTC one x+. It has amazing specs. Also the gnote 2 is incredible but it may be a lil too large for carrying around.
I've never had a HTC phone but I've heard the ui is a little bit different. Samsung has touchwiz, but that can easily be changed though flashing ROMs. Is HTC sense something that is a love hate type of deal? I'm sure the development support will be great to fix that.
Just wondering others input. Been researching.

In addition, from what I've read, the x+ doesn't have an SD card slot but has a 64 gig model. I use quite a bit of storage, but I'm sure the large model will be quite spendy.
