i am a animator and love to click pics and do some sketching so my first preference is galaxy note but i want good customer support and dev support too so which one should i buy
Sent from my GT-I9003 using Tapatalk
I still suggest u upgrade to Galaxy Note
u are an animator and Note is a great choice for you as the available of the s-pen is really good for drawing , better than using your finger
second here xda have a particular page for Note
and the customer service of samsung is good also
Sent from my GT-I9003 using xda premium
Check out all the development for all the devices you've selected in xda. S2 should have the most, I personally like sensation XE as I like awesome bass and stuff, but since you like sketching and stuff I guess galaxy note would be the most suitable.

Go for the Galaxy Note! It has quite a pretty big user base in XDA. It probably isn't as big as the S2's but it's sizable enough, so nothing to worry about there.
I would advice you to wait until Galaxy S 3 cames out (May 3th). If you can't afford one then the prices of both (Galaxy S 2 and maybe Note too) will drop (they would became cheapier). Now it's time to wait for a few days.
If you are in hurry and you MUST buy one, then i surely recomend you Galaxy Note (if you find that the screen size doesn't bother you)
okay thnx for the suggestion will be buying on 5 th may and surely w8 for the prices to drop

The next galasy s3
The S3 is coming out on the 3rd of May.. Take a look at that and decide.. I would do that if I were in ur place.. It might take some time to get to ur place (depends), but it should be definitely worth the wait..
It's better to wait for the Samsung Galaxy S3
It will come out on this May..
In OP's last post, it's clear he doesn't intend to buy the S3, in fact, he's waiting to buy after the release of the S3 so the prices of the current models will drop.
Sony xperia s or sgs3 or htc one x

if you are on a tight budget
i would suggest galaxy s2
but also ... have you heard the news that samsung galaxy nexus unlocked/unbranded also dropped their price in the US for $399 USD ? if you know someone from there, have them buy for you ASAP.

Dude no matter which phone u buy make sure it's launched globally (maybe a flagship) and has a large user base.. These things are directly proportional to the Dev u'll get.. Development is what keeps the excitement alive, no matter if it's a s1, s2 or s3..
s1 after so f**kin long is still up in the Dev race.. All the i9003 users had pushed their budgets a little higher, we would be in a different world.. Hope u understand what I'm trying to say.. Cheers..

Hello everyone,
Can you offer me a good phone for the price of 450 USD? I've watched many reviews and the phones that caught my attention were Sony Xperia P, HTC One S...I'm also wondering about Xperia Arc S (which is cheaper), but you don't buy a new phone every month so I prefer something newer. So...I'm waiting for your advices and thanks in advance.
i would go with tge htc thats my opinion
You have a budget of $450? Go for the unlocked Gnex for $350, it has a big dev community and will get updates the fastest. In addition, JB with project butter has had outstanding results, similar in speed to how WP7 runs so smooth on single core 1ghz snapdragons.
if you don't mind the 5mp camera and on screen buttons, I say definitely get it

The one s is the better of the two,but you should consider other options too.
Sent from my U8150 using XDA
Yes, buy the HTC One S... you have a longer time fun with this device! And a really great support in this forum.
Before buying a new phone search for this:
1. Compatible with a stable version or Nightly version of CM9-10 or any other supported rom. (That means that is a device it’s currently developed.)
2. Listen what the device users say in the forums. (They have one they know their behavior problems)
3. Search for a recovery or a backup for the device OS. (You will be in guarantee so find a solution for any problem can succeed)
4. Look if the OS version is upper than 4.0 or recent 4.1.X (Gingerbread it's OK but it's going old each day, Jelly Bean seems a stable version)
5. Look the specs and the price. (Analyze the price with the specs it have)
Hope it was useful
Aahh, it's a tough decision. The One S has the more powerful CPU and the bigger screen, but I've read that the screen of the Xperia P is better (higher pixel density, plus that White Magic technology), the One S also lacks NFC (yeah, you can't do much with it now, but maybe in 2-3 years it will be useful). Tell me the pros and cons of the two.
Sorry for the stupid question but what's Gnex? Is it Galaxy Nexus and if it is, then where do I get it for $350 ?

Galaxy nexus is an international GSM phone,if you have at least EDGE network (2G) it will work.
It is also very beautiful, and a Google Device,so you know you're in safe hands.

Of the aforementioned I like tha Galaxy Nexus most, but the problem is that it's not available in my country (Bulgaria) through Google Play. I should find a way to buy it.

Try a Samsung Shop as opposed to your network carrier. That way you're sure it's the sim unlocked international version.

Shipping is expensive for tech,but you could have them lie about the value on the forms.
My advice is to exhaust all local options first, if shipping proves cheaper,then go for it.

Not Worth it. Go for a Defy instead.
And once you decide to buy i9003, then you will probably need to change your id too, you will no longer remain cool.

I would have offered u my phone which is 1.4 yrs old but still in excellent condition. But I can't because of some personal reasons.
Bro don't buy this phone if you already had it go switch it up or something get a second hand nexus like someone else said or a second hand s2 trust me it's screen is amazing I would rather go with S2's screen then S3's higher resolution screen. S2's screen is amazingly clear, great color, truly vibrant color.

And an amazing burn in effect after 2 months of use.
Just get the nexus/S3 or just this device.. depends on your wallet.
Just saying, you'll probably find no one willing to sell you a device here, because the chance of being in the same place is slim, thus requiring annoying shipping costs and hassle, buying/selling a used one from shops is easier.
MY OPINION: If you can get the nexus/S3 used or new, get them and DO NOT ever think about this damned device again.
Come on guys. This phone isn't that bad. I don't see a need to be so negative about this phone.
I don't have any major issues with this phone. It worked very well for me on almost all ROMs that I've tried.
Of course this phone is not i9000 or i9100. And we all knew it when we bought it substantially cheaper than those models. Stop complaining and enjoy the moment (partially working video recording with CM9)

This ^
Everytime i update my SCL i feel like i bought i new phone! ICS works pretty good and day after day it becames always better and if understood correctly Dhiru is porting JB, so it' not over
Our phone us not that much bad in my opinion
i think our phone is better than i9000 expect gpu and development. if i9003 was an international model instead of i9000 we could have better roms STABLE including JB with much more developers. but just gpu is lower a bit.

Hi!
I am looking for a new phone for my sister (27), she doesn't really needs a lot from it, so I was looking for something around 200-350$.
I was thinking about getting her a Motorola Defy+ , shes working at an hospital so the extra protection can be a nice benefit (not must).
I would love to get some opinions
thanks ahead.
You can get here in the forum Galaxy Nexus for that price or s2
I would say the s2.

I think its the best phone he can get right?
I would rather say go for xperia ray . Defy and ray are similar in price but xperia ray is much better .
Check the comparison between those two over here :
http://geekaphone.com/compare/Sony-Ericsson-Xperia-ray-vs-Motorola-DEFY
Or if you want to shell some more amount of money you can buy and galaxy s , galaxy s2 or google nexus .
Hope this helps
With your budget , I guess GS2 is the best for you :good:
As someone said before defy<Ray<S2
But i don't know prices in the US. I saw in internet that there are refurbished mobiles at really good price for us customers. I wanted to buy one but they don't send to Spain.
Eitherwise if you can go for the galaxy S2
I would think s2, I have one and I love it.

Dude the Motorola Defy is lag as hell! do NOT buy it! Something cheap and good could be the Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus, cheap and has a very nice performance for the hardware it has, very impresive if you ask me!
Samsung Galaxy SII could be an option if your sister likes to take pictures and likes to play high video quality games on her phone and do many things at the same time.
Cheers! :good:
S2 ... or HTC One S
So yes you can buy a Galaxy S 2 for 200/250 dollars I think, but also a One S of second hand ?
Thanks everybody! you really helped me out here
based on the many opinions I am going to get the GS2 for her
hope she will like it Thanks again!

Hello all,
I want to buy a new phone, because I always do some experiments to my G3 and don't have sometimes enough time to recover it from bootloop or something... I also don't want to leave G3 comunity because you're the best friends now
So I ask, which phone would you recommend to me? As daily driver... I would keep my g3 for developing and tweaking . My requirements are the same as for this phone + root-friendly (if you know what I mean ) + CM available for it... Also it shouldn't be as expensive as sgs3 or galaxy nexus, etc... It also should have bigger screen...
So, what do you guys think? I thought about byuing sgs i9000 as it has almost fully working JB...

hi buddy this is just my suggestion as quadcore phones are already there and getting better every day and single core phone are about to vanish so i feel it would be better if you think about dual core phone as it will not only provide your better performance that single core processor but also will be future proof and supported with future editions of android phones.

Well, not fully agree
First - Nexus doesn't have slot for microsd card.
Secondly, the GPU is worse than the SII.
Thirdly - SII is more efficient.
Fourth - SII has better camera (8Mpix), Nexus - 5Mpix.
Nexus has higher screen resolution - 1280 × 720, but made in pentile technology.
Also, I'm wondering about these two phones, but more convinces me - Samsung Galaxy SII.
What do you think about Snapdragon S4 CPU and Adreno 225 CHIPSET? Just wondering how this will perform in Asus Padfone... I like the fact that this phone will get JB officially, but no forums here at xda...

Not yet, instead of it I have HP Probook 4540s as for the price of Galaxy S3 here in Czech Republic. It's for school now. I'm happy with it I'm now writing on this notebook. Perfect keyboard!
However, galaxy nexus will probably follow. I don't want the Nexus 4 for the "bad screen responsiveness" bug.
PS: I won't EVER sell my Galaxy 3! Love this phone

The pro book looks great and I also feel the same way about my g3 lol. I was thinking of getting a new phone but i decided to wait until marcelluse says if he's going to continue with cm10 development or any development on the g3. My parents gave me a tab 2 for Christmas so I'm not in a rush for a newer phone. I wished I could have donated to the devs for their work on the g3 for Christmas but I don't have a job I'm a student. I will try in the future
Happy new years by the way.

I have a Nexus 4 and the dev over there is amazing. Yes if the micro-sd card slot and removal battery is a bumper, then this phone isn't for you. I would suggest the S2 or the Note 1. The Asus Padfone is a good choice but it makes sense when you have the tablet as well as the phone.
PS My Nexus 4 dosen't have any bugs.
