Personally, I think you could wait for this April till HTC's new top devices will be for sale.
I'd rather not buy iPhone if I were you, for plenty reasons: price, display, iOS, form-factor, etc..
BUT, i think we can help you better we know how much you're going to spend

The knowledge to root/hack a blessing or curse?

So a couple of months ago I purchased my first android phone (my nexus) to specifically root and flash. I tried many roms and have had a jolly good time here at xda.
Now here is the small dilemma that I'm facing with all this new found knowledge of rooting phones. Ever since I rooted my gfs inc2, she goes around telling everyone that her bf(me) is the one to call for smartphone tech.
Yesterday I just rooted and flashed miui on her coworkers Droid 2 global. Btw that phone was a ***** to work on, I had to go to read like 5 different forums to get the corrects steps to flash gb roms.
And now just today my gf is asking me if I could jailbreak her brothers new iPhone 4.
Yeah I'm in no way mad about people asking me for help but I guess I'm now the phone guru that everyone relies on. I do enjoy working on different phones, and flashing roms are always fun.
I'm wondering if anyone else on xda has turned into the go-to-guy for smart phone related tech?

Yes.
I have been in this position. Mostly due to my root and rom changing need. Always people asking me to jailbreak their iphone/ipod (Easy if you ask on google, aye?) Currently I am on ICS(Android 4.0) on Samsung Galaxy S2.
Thanks for your time.

Galaxy nexus or wait?

Currently owner of sensation but i do want a galaxy nexus because i am an app developer. But thn i see rumors like htc edge witch looks even more awesome.
What to freakin do: D

Senny isnt bad, if you really like the Galaxy Nexus and can afford it, then go get it, its a nice piece of work, the screen rocks!
You'll be ok with the Senny though, so maybe you can wait for more time, new phones come everyday, if you like something, then take it, or you can wait for something even nicer(quad-core! )
Although, having ics out of the box is a plus point, and as you tell you are an app dev, so it'll help you make newer and better apps, but your phone would get an official update soon.
There is ALWAYS something better just around the corner, you could just wait forever for the next best phone and never buy anything!
wait for galaxy s3

Always get the Nexus. New hardware comes out every month but only the Nexus will run the latest stable version of Android on day one. As a consumer that's great but as a developer that's essential. Plus Sense on Honeycomb is crap and will probably be just as much on ICS.

Replace HTC Desire with SE Xperia Neo V!

Got my Desire in October 2010 with eclair on it. Updated it to froyo with the original update. When gingerbread update came out I waited to see what to do. I decided to skip the original one and in early November 2011 I decided to root and try Supernova by Droidzone, which i still have.
My big dilemma now is, since I have an upgrade offer from my mobile company to renew my contract. Get the Sony Ericcson Xperia Neo V for free and sell it to get the money and keep the Desire which thankfully is still heavilly supported in XDA (but we don't know if and how successfull an upgrade to ICS will be), or sell the Desire and keep the Neo V which has better specs and will be officially upgrated to ICS? Any help/suggestions?

So...could you then let me know what the difference of my thread is in contrast to other ones in the General forum that talk about replacing desire with sensation and many other similar threads? Just the question mark at the end of my title maybe? If so...i just took it away, so you can put it back in the General section

TO THE NOTEPAD!!
HTC Desire //
Pros -
+ You can sell the Neo V for 300 bucks
+ Hardware wise it isn't SOOO inferior
+ Gigantic unnoficial support
Cons -
- No official ICS
- Adreno 200 GPU sucks
SE Xperia Neo V //
Pros -
+ Amazing screen with Bravia Engine technology
+ Official ICS Support
+ Superior Hardware
Cons -
- Small Dev support
- You can sell the desire for only 150~200 dollars at best
If I were you I'd stick with the desire and sell the Neo. Then, next year I'd buy a Xperia Nozomi or a Galaxy SIII
Thanx for your reply mate!
Hmm...maybe I have to add something for your notepad pros and cons which will be even in more favor for the xperia. The Xperia neo v is sold for 200 euros here as brand new. So sold as "second hand" will be about the same price as the desire.
Regarding development..its brand new, probably there will be more support as time goes by.
Big dilemma!

I just did, in my message that you just replied to (all of them were just below my one, they couldn't have been missed, plus they are there for some days)..with tapatalk is not easy for me to point you to threads. Also..my message does have a question mark at the end anymore, it has an exclamation mark.
Ps. Too sensitive...to depend on just a question mark. And even more...in not all of them. Right thing should be all or nothing.

Suggestions for my new dev phone?

Right now my dev phone is a Samsung Captivate...but my carrier is Verizon! Anybody suggest any Verizon smart phones I should use just for developing but I would also be able to use in the future? Running my stock Droid X2 as a daily user and can't risk to mess that thing up. Comment with suggestions guys! Thanks!

Maybe a Droid 4? Seems like there's good connectivity for development in that all the Motos use the same base and that's what you're already used to.
Otherwise I'd wait and see if VZ gets a worthwhile HTC or Samsung in the near future.

What are those Droid 4s going for on the net? Because I'm definitely not getting it through verizon...lol.

You should either wait for S3 or the new ZTE/Huawei, cheap phones with quad-core

HTC Rezound is the way to go. Its hardware is far superior to any other devices on Verizon's current lineup, it's got an unlocked bootloader, and we've had quite a few breakthroughs in getting AOSP, CM9, and Sense 4 ported over.

Hello fellow Htc one s brothers and sisters:laugh:

So as many of you have already noticed by the many threads here on xda, htc has officially cancelled any type of software update to the awesome htc one s which is really disappointing considered this phone is capable of handling basically anything you can throw at it imo. That being said I personally am annoyed because I refused to root or use custom roms up until htc stopped ota updates support completely and so that day has come.I want to greet all the members and devs here on the htc one s forums and thank you all because with your wisdom and experiences as well as the latest and greatest custom roms kernal etc are only possible by you guys and so this phone will never die and will live on still competing against the latest and greatest phones. So yea sorry for the long rant but welcome another htc one s brother into the club :laugh:. BTW anyone recommend some of the best roms and kernals that are the most stable I would greatly appreciate it so much thank you and long live the htc one s!!!!!:good::good::good::good:

2nd it's against xda rules to use comparison forums, test urself and make ur opinion

Thread closed. Asking for best ROMs or ROM comparisons is not allowed. Furthermore, there is already another thread about the One S not getting any updates, so use that.
