Hi all,
My father got my Desire for quite some time now and he's very happy with it. But now he is possible to extend his contract and want a new phone with it.
But there is one problem: he doesnt want a larger screen but he also wants a "better" phone. I cant remember any phone with better specs then the Desire S with this screen size, does anyone of you guys know what could be the best phone for him?
The Galaxy Nexus is too big for him but i said its a good one, but he thinks its too big
Can anyone advice me to advice him ?
Thanks in advance!

Tell him to hang on. There's no point him upgrading now. The Desire S IS approaching a year old now.
Just wait till Feb, at MWC, and the successor to the Desire S may he likely to come out.
IMO, its not much of a significant upgrade from the Desire
What is he finding wrong with it? What parts font satisfy him?
Perhaps you could introduce him to the rooting/custom ROM world, and it will improve his experience on his Desire while he still currently owns it
Hopefully that will keep him happy for a few months before upgrading

Nice answer! Thx for ur advice. He is running the virtous unity rom atm so he is already running a custom rom.
Actually there is nothing that he isnt satisfied about. But now he can upgrade his contract and was curious for a new phone.
Maybe he can get a new phone for my mom, who got the original Desire now she finds that one a little bit too slow so what could be a good upgrade for her?
Anyway i will tell my dad to keep his Desire S for quite some time
Thx for ur nice advice!

Yeah
or why don't he put the contract money towards a new android tablet?
they are suprisingly useful!

:O
that is a really nice idea! I got a ASUS Transformer and he likes it
Maybe he wants to have one too!
But there is maybe one problem. Is it possible to get a Tab instead of a Phone with a Phone contract? (in The Netherlands) I've never seen that, so that's the question if its possible :O
It would be very nice for him!
If the possibilities are there I think i would advice him the 8,9 Tab of Samsung, what do you think?
I guess the Transformer Prime is a bit overkill for him (+ i will get jealous on him :$)
Thanks for your answer again, you are really helpful man!
Greets Patrick
No problem mate
I'm glad to help people as long as they show the appreciation like you do
Yeah, there are several great Android Tablets in the market At the moment.
I can't comment on the new 8.9 Galaxy Tab.
I currently have the old 7" Galaxy Tab. And it can make phone calls.
However. There is now a newer 7.0 plus galaxy tab (can make calls too) and has similoar top end specs as your transformer (dual core etc)
Perhaps you could consider that?
Or even the newer 7.7" galaxy tan which may be released some time soon!

I got that one, but the problem is that my dad doesn't want a bigger phone. Well not big like the SII.
Thats why i am trying to get some more info about other phones with almost the same size as the Desire S.
If he didn't care about a bigger phone, i would suggest him the Galaxy Nexus or Galaxy SII idd.
Thanx anyway for your input.
HTC EVO 3d??
If you want to stick with HTC (or Samsung), then maybe you'd want to wait until MWC at the end of Feb. Both company didn't announce any new phones at CES.

Yeah I was a bit disappointed at that. All HTC banged on about was the Titan 2, which is a Windows Mobile phone (washes mouth out with soap).
Not sure what my next one will be. Starting to loose faith in HTC (from a build quality and support point of view) and see no real need for dual/quad cores at all yet. Still haven't found the limits of my single core DS. I don't do any HD gaming. Have Xbox for that.
Now that Google own Motorola, will be interesting to see if the next Nexus is in their camp. As long as there are no silly locked down bootloaders that is.
For the first time I can remember, there are no devices on the horizon that are making me start thinking about saving up for an upgrade. Long live the DS!

Not only that, the Titan isnt worthty of '2'.
Its EXACTLY the same, except the '2' has a 16mp camera, and the original only 8mp.
IMO. I think HTC are cheaping out, with support and hardware
That's why they lost profits last Q4

There will be new phones announced at CES coming this January. Will you be loyal to your Nexus S after seeing all the second generation phones? In example the dual-core processors, the new 4g headsets, honeycomb tablets, and etc.
I still would want to get one, yet the thing I don't know after I would still want to.
Thanks.
Yes, I will have this phone until the next Nexus device.

Largely just bad timing, mate. We had a string of trolls roll through here lately making threads along the lines of yours. Plus this topic in general has been discussed to death in a number of really, really great threads.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
truth is, nexus s came very late. to an end of an era. nexus S, desire HD, desire Z. all of those are very best. but the very best of old technology.
new phones coming up. some early Jan, some in mid of next year and some at the end of next year. this is very typical.
the smart thing is to know what do YOU really need ?
people who bought the nexus S didnt buy it for its super power. Nexus S isnt the most powerful phone . hell desire HD has more ram in it. they only bought this phone because they are sick of lag fixing, waiting for months and months to get a decent firmware update. Samsung / Sony ericsson / HTC are **** when it comes to updating their firmware " specially Sony, f**k you Sony with your 1.6 firmware on a 2010 phone and waiting till the end of 2010 to finally get 2.1
The people here don't want this. they bought an android for their software not hardware. as far as i can tell. i dont know one game or application that doesnt run super smooth on desire HD/ Nexus S. till the new games/Apps starts to lag and perform bad on these devices, then its the day people should start looking for new phone.
if you are already a nexus S owner, then its stupid to waste your money on a new device that you wont get advantage from it software side. UNLESS there is a hardware feature you wanted on the phone. like for the example the new LG phone has HDMI out and 1080p Video recording. if YOU need that, then yeah the phone is good. BUT if you buy the phone thinking software wise the phone is better, then you are wrong and wasting money.
I donot see another Stock android experience coming any time soon..and personally having a dual core phone means nothing if you are running outdated software

Actually, it is the most powerful phone atm. 768MB RAM isn't power. 90 million triangles on stock Gingerbread is power. Not that the Desire HD isn't super fast either. Just the Hummingbird is currently unmatched except for the Tegra2 which hasn't truly debuted yet and isn't necesarily "better".
Tmobile has to be getting something great for me to even begin to decide
until we all stop replying to this kine of threads and non-sense posts, this is going to continue on and on... Just ignore and ignore as I been doing, until we get some good moderator on this Nexus S area.
I just want T-Mobile to get better coverage
Sent from my Nexus S
If Verizon announces a Galaxy S type device (ie., SAMOLED screen that's 4" or 4.3", with a top end CPU and GPU, and the large 1GB ROM space for apps) with Gingerbread, and due out by March, I am all over it and the Nexus S will go back to Best Buy. If it's not LTE, I'd still consider it, but only because I just am not 100% happy with T-Mobile and AT&T service, and really would like a Verizon network device.
To those griping about "not another thread like this"...do everyone a favor and give the thread a 1-star rating and DON'T RESPOND. The bad threads will sink to the last pages of the forum and you won't have to see them. Keep responding with pointless "stop this kind of posts" posts and they'll just keep bubbling up to the top.
Along those lines, it would sure be nice if XDA had an IGNORE THIS THREAD feature to permanently keep bad threads out of your sight. I've asked/suggested for that feature in the general forum area, but no interest or responses.

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

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
Well I wanna buy a new phone (obviously) and I want your advice.
I currently have a Samsung Wave, I gotta change it since Bada OS is a piece of crap, and I currently do NOT recommend it to everybody until Bada 2.0 is released
Things I care about :
-Android 2.3 or updatable to 2.3 | updatable to Ice Cream (optional)
-Strong sound quality through headsets
-Great camera, 5.0 or better. Flash isn't important if the night mode is great
-Speed, 1GHz processor and ability to play 3D games smoothly, I hate lags
-Popular to developers, so I can find some advices and easy to root
-Long-lasting, i'll keep the device I buy for 2 years
-Screen above 3.7", screen should be the best thing, so either SAMOLED or SLCD
-Not as expensive as Sensation and Galaxy S II, budget is $530
-Long supported, so the company won't sell me out. That automatically eliminates Motorola.
Any advice's appreciated, Thanks.

What do you think of the HTC Desire S ?
How about going a itsy bitsy bit higher price and get one of the latest flagships like HTC Sensation, HTC EVO 3D, or Samsung Galaxy SII?
--- meaning: change your requirement a tiny bit ----
Edit:
Long support? I believe no company will give you long enough support, I believe only rooting and getting support from the devs in this forum is the best way
The term support, I understand it as software update support, so that you can go as far as you can with the phone.
example:
Desire with Gingerbread and Sense 3.0. These you can get only on the unofficial way done by the devs.
I have the original HTC Incredible. Very happy with HTC phones. I would buy another and likely will when the time comes.
You just described the Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000
I had the phone for 8 months and that's a super device. No way to brick or anything, with great customizations and mods..

Yeah, I would go with the Evo 3d. Really a great phone. But might be too pricy?

Hello everyone, I would like to ask you a couple of questions. HTC ONE S is a beautiful phone,fast, the best to the touch and with a processor speed but ... But in the period where they are baked increasingly cheap quad core and even dual core as the new pro s4 are faster. In addition there is the problem that is not particularly supported by Community, stay with One S?
Express your thoughts thanks
If you want a dull vanilla android then yes ! But I would stay with one s or maybe shift to one x , one x+ or Samsung galaxy s3 ,try using a aokp/aosp Rom that's how a nexus device is,, very plain !! , if you got money to spent go buy some other quad cores like one x and sgs3 , people go with HTC and Samsung coz of their innovative ui ( sense for HTC and touchwiz for Samsung) . Android has only be rocking because of Samsung HTC and Sony , nexus devices are cheaper but not that enjoyable ,

I would say opposite of what this guy says. Samsung and HTC throw crappy interfaces over stock android making it slower and only causing you to not get the updated operating system timely on your phone. Vanilla android is best and I'm planning to buy nexus 4 as soon as it's out. One decent reason to stick with one s is that you don't have money to throw around buying the latest and greatest phone.

Is the phone unable to do something that you need it to do? Are a few more megaflipflops of processing power really going to make your life better?
If the answer to either of these questions is yes then buy another phone.

People wants to be trendy. Mostly iPhone users. Do not be like them.
As @Troute said: Is the phone unable to do something that you need it to do?
I find support pretty decent depending on what you're looking for. There's a good variety of different ROMs available to suit your tastes. Even though there's faster phones available now, it really depends on what you need to make your phone work for you. If you don't notice any issues with lag, performance is good, and battery life is good then I think things should be ok?

I spent $285 on this phone I think I got a solid deal. Definitely don't get an iphone anywhere near retail value. If I had to get a phone right now I would buy the Nexus 4.
Well as it stands right now the nexus 4 is gonna be strictly worst than our phone cuz LG made it. Anyone one else confused on that?
I say go for a onex+ or a s3. imma skip out on this round of smartphones though cuz our one s is one of the top phones out. Everytime i pull it out ppl are like OMG what phone is that. pretty much once the wow factor is gone its time for an upgrade lol
I mainly need a really powerful camera to replace compact digital camera for daily use, I don't want to take two devices go out. So, I will stay with One S and not to go with N4 like everyone else here.
I will probably buy a new phone later when HTC or Sony introduces their new camera sensor. HTC is going to roll out 5" 1080 J Butterfly with 8M cam in Dec on Japan, wanna see if the sensor get improved and I might get one.

LG is guilty of terrible software, but with the Nexus 4 that's not an issue. The hardware of the Nexus 4 is patchwork. On one hand you have the quad core S4 pro, on the other you're stuck with only 12gb of accessible space. On one hand you have an amazing screen, on the other the battery life sucks and can't be upgraded. You have to decide what you can tolerate to decide if a Nexus is for you. I love AOSP, but HATE limited storage. I love the resolution, but HATE the battery life. So I won't be getting a Nexus 4.

I may get the nexus 4 it will have a lot of devs working on it and I could just flash a sense rom onto the phone because I like sense. And I really want nfc

Hi,
I am wondering if it is worth replacing my HTC Desire that I actually love and has loads of support and ROMs available. I'm currently running on the MildWild Oxygen ROM and it's great!
I have a budget of around 200euros which could get me a second hand HTC Sensation,potentially a Samsung Galaxy Nexus? Or for a wild card the HTC HD2 which I seem so see a lot of good things written about.
My question is,it worth it or better hold out another year,have a little more money and make a significant step up? And to what? Nexus 4 if I can get my hands on one...
Sorry,lots of questions there,but I would appreciate people's opinions on this.
Cheers

first off post your question here, its for anyone who is looking for new devices
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1846277
And imo, if you budget, is this small and you enjoy your current phone, I recommend not to get a new phone because whatever new phone you gonna get would not be that much better than your current one.
click thanks if helped
Well it really depends on your usage and needs. If your happy with how your hardware is performing than you could definitely save yourself some dollars staying around these devices you've mentioned. I know what you mean I was quite happy with my Desire HD (rooted running 4.1.1) however it cant quite keep up with todays mobile games and apps so when I broke the screen a couple weeks ago I decided it wasnt worth me fixing ( cost would be about $50) and took up my carriers offer to upgrade and got a Note II. But like I said, it truly depends on your usage and needs. Hope this helped your decision..
