I had that phone. Loved it.

Ive owned 5 of the phones on that list and i only would put one of those 5 on my top ten list. Gs2. Sensation, Evo 3d and G2x wouldnt have made mine. And Thunderbolt is a joke. Seriously. Ive been with Verizon, Sprint, and Tmo this year and Gs2 is best phone ive seen. Workin on a gn so we will see how they compare.

Touchwiz totally rapes any android experience for me. G-Nex is the way to go, straight from Google.
and, HTC doesn't even deserve to be on the list. HTC is horrible, they keep pumping out phones with the horrid sense skin. No wonder they had no Q4 growth....
But GS2 is still awesome and Samsung is totally taking over anything. Just wait for next year people, Samsung is going to reign.

I know it technically came out November 2010 but the Mytouch 4G ranks number 2 behind the SGS2 for me.

Question? I had the Vibrant when it first came out, switched to Mytouch4G because of issues like the NAV but still loved it. Four days ago bought the SGS2 and I'm wondering is there really that big of a difference between S4G and SGS2 other than screen size? I did like the Vibrant but I'm still kind of feeling like taking the SGS2 back for the S4G and save 200+ dollars

I agree with the Bionic, gs2, and g2x. Except for the locked bootloaders, Motorola is my second favorite manufacturer, after Samsung. As it is, lg is my second favorite currently.

I agree. In terms of function, the older galaxy does the same things but a tad slower and has more roms.

I love this phone

I just came from the Atrix. I thought that I would be OK running the atrix without mods(locked bootloader), but i think i went through with-drawls from CM. Motorola blows goats with their locked blootloaders. Ther stock price is down 10%
Design Gears bricked his phone, that was the final straw. I will never by a Motorola phone again
Loving it too!
Coming from Leo I have found it very similar just with more mpx and RAM/ROM
Bye physical buttons as well.
So far so good (2 days with it)
some testings have showed that browsing speed of Atrix is not faster than Inspire. Proud to own an Inspire.
I agree, it is a great phone. Had it for a week now, it was a nice upgrade from my HTC Aria.
Love this phone too. Coming from 4 years of every iPhone - finally got bored and made the jump.
At first it was like a really bad break up - thought about the iPhone 4 every single day, missed it when I would hold or caress another phone, and wanted many of the features/memories back. Now after about two months, rooting, flashing to MIUI (following weekly builds), cattleprod's Cyan04.7 Kernel, and other tweaks and mods, I'm wholeheartedly fulfilled and more ways then before. Can't imagine going back to that terrible world I was in before.
Don't get me wrong, I have an iPad 2 and wouldn't give that up for the world (or any other Android tablet) though. Apples vs oranges though.
Upgraded from a cheap quick messaging phone

Great!

Came from Iphone 4 and I'll never go back. Been with apple for past few years with 3g, 3gs, 4 and never again. The customization of Android makes it all worth the transition 100 times over.
So yes needless to say I love my Inspire 4g! In fact trying to talk buddy of mine into buying one instead of the Infuse. I prefer HTC.

The infuse has about 1/2 the RAM and only 200 MHz more CPU (easily in the stable OC range)
Also, the only bad thing about moving from the iPhone was the apps I had bought. It was SO easy to sync my contacts to Gmail.
I love his phone also. After rooting, custom Roms etc... this phone is even better. I switched from being and Iphone user and will not go back. I am waiting to get my wife one for her upgrade so she can get rid of the Iphone also.

Count me in on the Inspire love. I've had mine for a couple months now and find it still to be an exceptional smartphone. I haven't rooted mine but I do use custom launchers. Currently using GO Launcher EX with the GoContacts/GoDialer and continue to be amazed by this Inspire.
I can't take screenshots on my Inspire but this is exactly what it looks like from these screenshots of my HD2. The only difference is the taskbar.

Worth it?

But the evo hardware is going to be far slower in a year than nexus hardware. The Hummingbird processor we've seen in the SGS family is by far better than what the evo is sporting.
I don't have a single concern about my Nexus S (or Epic) not being adequate in a year or two.... I have used an evo now and I already feel that it's a slow clumsy device shoe-horned into a large enclosure to attract the "hummer crowd" ... bigger is better, am i right?
I just got rid of my epic for the ns4g (cracked screen on epic). My fiancée has the EVO and I have to say its a night and day comparison. Battery on the nexus is much better. Everything is smoother, and of course the display is 100x better. The EVO is a nice phone, but hardware wise its a bit out of date.

Keeping this phone?

Suck it up. One x is miles ahead of note in terms of, well, everything. Other than screen size. But 4.7 superlcd2 just blows it away.

I did own one. The only thing that makes it "good" is the software and even stock ICS wasn't good enough to make me keep the mediocre hardware that it was running on. It was quite the downgrade from my E4GT, and can't hold a candle to the HOX.

Mediocre is a little too harsh, but the GNex is one generation old now.
The Snapdragon S4 on the One XL is a beast compared to the OMAP4 (Cortex A9). The SAMOLED HD display is nice, but the SLCD on the HTC is just superb. The One XL also does LTE. The construction on the One XL is very nicely done and the camera is incredibly nice and fast.
The biggest gripe about the One XL is non-replaceable battery (and perhaps the HTC Sense skin).

Because it is made by Samsung, the world largest plastic consumer.
I personally like sense4 when its modded a little bit I have the gnex and the Rogers hox... The one x is clearly a better phone just in build quality alone. I kept my gnex for tinkering and when the next big release of Android comes out

I returned my one x the other day and I don't miss it or regret it. With the WiFi issue and the horrible battery life the phone was a rip off. The sad thing is that manager of the ATT store I took it back too agreed. He said they sold 28 units since the release date and mine made 12th return since the release date...and he went as far as to shoe me the returned units in the back store room. I'm back on my vivid and going to wait for the new GS3 or order the galaxy nexus. That's what I get for falling for the hype over a new release phone...which turns out that's all the One X was....hype. The manager said the that ATT corporate is already told them to drop the price to 149.00 starting in late June which is the quickest they have ever dropped the price of a new phone. That says a lot to me. I'm just glad I was able to get a refund and he was kind enough to waive the restocking fee and some is able to get the system to show that I still have an upgrade to use.

Returned iphone 4s...now between htc 1s and galaxy s2? cant decide.

Ok so i returned the iphone 4s that i bought for my girl cause you guys brought it to my attention that i will not get 4g on simple mobile. Now we are at a stand still in deciding between the galaxy s2 and the htc 1s. What do you guys think the better phone is? These will be tmobile phones running on simple mobile by the way. Thanks.
Or do you think we should get the galaxy s3?
I have the lg g2x right now which is rooted/unlocked/running hellfire 2.2.

Yep. I agree that was probably uncalled for. Sorry to thekid1. A better answer may be to wait until the new Samsung is released and for the old model to drop in price. Thekid1 has asked about things before that are easy to research.
I would never ask an internet forum how I should spend my hard earned money, but that is me. I wish all my clients would ask me to how to spend their money.
Like someone said before if you want to get updates get a Nexus and don't waste your money on any other android phone. I'm done with non Nexus devices I'm tired of the lack of suppose all the manufactures have for phones. You won't get much suppose from Samsung been there with the Vibrant they will release a very slightly revised S3 3 months later and forget you exist. No thanks.

Just get the One S. It is insanely fast and is built really well. I love it for a couple key reasons:
1. It has the new snapdragon S4 which is based off the newer smaller A15 architecture rather than the A9 which is in the Gs3 and almost all other phones right now. The A15 is more powerful and uses less energy.
2. It has a smaller 4.2" screen which in my opinion is the biggest a screen should be.
3. Build quality is really good and feels good in my hand.
That is my grain of salt for consideration.

Metal does not make a phone better I've seen HTC phones come out of the box with dust under the screen. Never witnessed that on a Samsung just look on their threads faulty cpus bad screens. That's why my brother uses my sensation and I have the g2x
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

What phone are you guys picking up after the G2x?

I'm thinking about getting a new phone soon... I wanted to pick up the HTC One X but reading about so many faulty devices over on the forums I'm kinda hesitant now. Still wondering whether or not I should make the plunge; on the other hand the 4S looks pretty interesting as well so that's also an option. So does the Xperia Arc S.
I need to get the phone before Julyish since I'm going overseas to study.
I don't see the newer phones (even One X, Galaxy S3) being much better than the G2x already. Sure they have ICS, but all the apps I run are fine on GB. Plus the extra cost to upgrade vs the ~$200 out-of-contract price of G2x on $30/mo plan doesn't justify it.
With all pricing aside, what's in ur opinion the best phone on the market right now?

Galaxy Note for T-Mobile, Galaxy S 3 for T-Mobile, Nexus Tablet.
That is what catches my eyes but in reality, my G2X will do just well for like 4 years more just as my Etched Nexus one does. My G1 is just too slow now.
Sensation rocks because the developer support is unparalleled. But the S3 is fantastic,and if you want a big screen the Note is excellent. And the One X, while it does have a few kinks in terms ram management, its arguably the best phone out there. Tried it in the store and it is unreal fast

S3 only thing that catches my eye now, waiting until the next nexus line looks, and if LG follows through ill upgrade and sell the phone, if not then I'll keep it is a backup and put the mt3g in my antique case with my g1

Don't u dare put that mt3g away. Mod: please get over here and change his name to traitor
Op: I'm 100% of all phones have problems, except for old nokias and such, you will be fine if u get a HOX. I'd get the s3 tho because I wanna try the touchwiz nature

Screw the carriers and their neutered phones. Sgs3 is getting a dual core across the board in the US. From now on, I'm only buying direct from Google and the carriers can take their contracts and shove them... if you know what I mean. I'm waiting for the next nexus, which should be available to buy by Thanksgiving.

I was going to get the s3 untill they took the quad core out of it.
I didn't really want to wait for the next big device to come out, so I just got a Galaxy Nexus. I really couldn't be happier. I still have my G2x to test some ROMs on and as to use as a backup phone.

Look at the post for the s3 in the general section, and then look at the comparison for the new krait CPU that will be in the sgs3, yes it is a bummer that its only a dual core but how much utilization will a quad be used? With the research I've done I'm more then happy with what the stateside sgs3 has to offer just have to decide other things my previous post stated.
And don't worry my mt3g isn't going anywhere like my g1 its safe and sound lol.

I will definitely wait until November for the new Nexus or Nexi, (hopefully the rumors are true and 5 are launched).
Hopefully no knew phones come out at all, that way I don't feel like I'm behind, and I'm very competitive and I always want the best and the greatest.

Gs3 or an HTC phone

If I stick with android I won't buy another non Nexus phone. If the manufacture updates the phone any it won't be updated for long and in most cases 3 months later there will be a slightly refreshed version that comes along and goodbye support for the phone you got. I had a Samsung Vibrant well you know that support died when the Galaxy S 4G came out You all know the support on the G2X and I also have a mytouch 4G which is running 2.3.4 just like my G2X which I also don't see it getting updated either to ICS.
As long as I know the phone will have xda support and Dec community support from the manufacturer I'll get it. Like the sensation that thing is fully supported, the HTC Vivid that's on at&t is extremely supported, sh¡+ even the G1 is lol....

I jumped ship to the HTC One S. Besides the pentile screen it can hold its own against the One X, if not beat it at benchmarks and in my opinion just as good as anything Samsung is releasing. I love the overall build quality and feel of the One S and the 16gb storage is more than enough for me. I tried to love my G2x, I was even convinced that it was the best phone out there but the software/hardware issues finally got to me.
