Hello everyone!
My contract with my provider is almost at an ending and I am finally done with my Galaxy S. (Which'll stay my best friend. We've gone through a lot!) I have a couple of options to choose from, but I have no idea what to choose between these phones. I will list them under this paragraph. Anyhow, I want to have a phone that has some pretty good battery life. Possibly better than Galaxy S. Also, it needs to be easily rootable and flashable. I've come across these phones, I would like some opinions and user experience of these phones. I know the Motorola Droid Razrr Maxx is the perfect option, but unfortunately not available in my country.
HTC Sensation XE
HTC Sensation XL
Samsung Galaxy Note
Samsung Galaxy S II
Samsung Galaxy Nexus
Sony Ericsson Experia Arc
Note: Phones in bold is what I am leaning towards to at the moment.
Thanks in advance for helping me . I will use the Thanks button!
Why don't you get the SG2 and exchange for a Razr Maxx with somebody here at XDA?

Not sure about this but doesnt the galaxy nexus have the same specs as GS2?
if so get the galaxy nexus instead of gs2 simply because of the screen ( 720P
The galaxy nexus is easily rootable and customisable, but will it is kind of expensive atm and I surely will need to pay extra with the contract.
How is the htc sensation XL? It looks good and has beats headphones. Single core is kinda lame though...

Yeh some specs r the same
But the the s2 has superior hardware.
It has a better camera, is thinner and lighter and i think the chipset is slightly better on the s2

Sense is okay I guess, does eat battery though. And it has a Single Core 1.5 Ghz Processor. Which it was Dual Core. I would've bought it then :/.
sgs2 period.
HTC Sensation XL is such a nice phone. My next hopefully. Take this one
Galaxy Nexus
WAY nicer screen than the S2 with same other hardware. Better looking. Official google phone so will be easier to port roms to. ICS already.
I think some of these people who are saying Galazy S2 are getting Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S confused.
Galaxy Nexus is awesome. I might go with that or Sensation XL. Note as a close second. Perhaps I should wait for Samsung Galaxy S 3?

Wait, wait just a little... Quadcores gonna come out

I'm a little biased, buy my vote goes for the galaxy note. Best phone I've ever owned. I feel like my hd2 is spinning in its grave when. I say that, but it's true.

I always liked the note. The bigger the better. I am looking at contracts right now. Sensation XL is the cheapest.

Please what are you thoughts i need to know quite soon
S2 way over the Nexus.
Even though the S is a Nexus device, it's not a phone I would pick at this time with all these newer much more powerful phones coming out.

If they won't add microSD in the future Nexus lines I will never a buy a Nexus line of devices again. Just root other better phones and install the latest & greatest here on XDA...I hate cloud !
Only if the SGS2 is not an I9100G
Galaxy GT-I9100
The beast in its class :thumbup:

Can all questions about buying phones or a comparison between phones be posted in here please?
This is just an idea so it makes these forums easier to deal with.

Check out this [GUIDE] How to be a New User (and not a noob)
so between these 3 phones, which is the best one to buy? Is the iphone5 even worth it considering it isn't android?
Personally I would pick the s3 considering the processor is decent and the note 2 is just too big for most people and the iPhone can't be rooted can't install roms or do anything interesting at all.

Hello
I currently have an iphone 5 but I wanna move away from Apple, I was just wondering what's the best phone to get??? I thanks

There is a thread for this type of questions, but anyways, there is the LG Nexus 4, the HTC One X, Samsung Galaxy S3. I think there's not really a device better than this bad boys.
What is best for me may not be for you, said that thread closed
I just recently went from a Verizon Galaxy Nexus to the HTC One. I find myself missing my Galaxy Nexus, maybe it's the plastic feel in my hand which I've grown so used to or the available development. I like the HTC One but I don't feel like it's a phone that I'm gonna be happy with a few months from now.
I just want some input on what people would think is best for me. I'm doubtful that the Nexus 5 will make its way to Verizon or that would be my first choice.

I realize there is a discussion thread going but I would rather not sort through 600 pages of responses, I haven't checked out the Moto X development forum but I definitely like the similarities to the gnex in design
