Right now its probably the HTC Desire HD. The Galaxy S awesome but it's riddled with bugs and Samsung still haven't given ud an official froyo, but the hardware is simply amazing

HTC Leo

Have to agree,
(very) Large screen, capable of running
WM6.5,
Android 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 & 2.4 (sort of),
WP7,
MeeGo and
Ubuntu.
Now who can beet this....
only downside is the lack of RAM on EU model..
I believe that you should ask yourself two questions.
1- how much money I'm welling to spend.
2 - wich characteristics must the phone have.
And then pick a phone from the available ones

For me Personally, I absolutely HAVE to have wifi calling on my phone due to the crappy signal I get in my house, 2 doors up or down I get 5 bars and full 4g, but in the house I barely get edge and get 1 bar that comes and goes. With that being said T-mobile is the only one that makes wifi calling on some of their newer android phones. I presently own the Mytouch 4g witch I love, but If I have a bunch of cash I'd run out and buy the G2X, that looks really sweet.
Enjoying the HTC Incredible S, but I'm drooling over the Atrix and the new Charge from HTC
using lg optimus 2x with cm7
it's really fast
another vote for desire from me!
I would say anything BUT the LEO(HD2) if you do not want to change the OS. I've had the hd2 for a while and I truly despise the bugs in WinMo 6.5 ...the features are well intended but it just does not operate well after using it for a while. Android on the LEO/HD2 is fantastic though and the screen size is unbeatable.
The G2x, Nexus S are the best phone because they aren't skinned and offer and a pure Google experience. If you want a used phone then nexus 1 or the Motorola Droid for its keyboard.
Even though the HTC Desire is getting on a bit now, it's still looking good as news even though I use it heavily everyday. Running the Oxygen Mod so it's using one of the latest Android versions, Gingerbread (2.3).
There are a cool new Android phones around this year such as the LG Optimus 2X since it's dual core. The Sony Xpheria Play looks interesting too since it's designed for gaming.
I can see why but I think the Galaxy S is SOO undervalued it's not true.
With 4 inch Voodoo Color, you get best screen for now with tweaks. Obviously, without voodoo color, the SGS II 4.3 with Super Amoled Plus would win the game.
As far as SQ is concerned, again, Galaxy S with Voodoo sound, Galaxy tuner/DSP manager and powerAMP, it's up there with Sony and Cowon DACs which in my opinion as an audiophile, it absolutely great since I don't like carrying two devices.
Adding onto this, the ROM devs with CM7, MIUI AND sense as well as optimized Samsung ROMs which have NO lag at all, the only flaw in my SGS is the build quality. Actually, quality isn't so bad, it just feels cheap because it's too light which in this case is a bad thing.
Oh btw, codec support is amazing and I may be wrong but is one of the best in terms of codec support as well.
Come on people, SGS all the way if you want all round phone (Or Nexus S cuz it's basically the same now.)
Galaxy s II
HTC Inspire 4G FTW!!!!
The G2X or Nexus S are good to go...or a used phone like the Nexus One (Android Development phone).
Hi guys. I am planning to buy one of those phones listed above. Please help me decide. I dont know what to buy. I love Samsung google nexus S but ive seen so manyy nega feedbacks about it. what are the pros and cons of HTC desire HD and Samsung Google Nexus S. Please help me guys. About the software, is there any issue on google nexus S? and is google nexus S gonna get every update on android? and how about desire HD?
THANKS IN ADVANCE!
CHEERS!
For me the Nexus S is the more desirable of the two because it is stock Android. I just don't see the need for Sense bloatware...but that's just me

yes but the desire is very easy to root and S-off so you can get it to stock pretty easily using a rom like cyanogen 7
my friend has a nexus S and i still like my DHD better even if it is from a purely aesthetic point of view, performance is pretty much the same @ stock but i think the nexus responds to overclocking better than the DHD thats if you actually plan on overclocking.
The HTC Desire HD has HTC Sense HD.... its great!
And you have SOFF and Root so you can put plan Android on it.
U can do this at the Nexus S too but i think the Desire HD is the better Phone! Just because of Sense and its look
thats a touph decision, they are both great phones.
buy them both.
I cant afford to buy them both.. im still a 16 yr old student andd i have two phones. i am planning to sell them and buy nexus S. andd have another with a black and white screen :|
Im thinking rly hard for these, i like the design of Nexus S and its pure android. i can get each and every update that will be released on the next months. i also like DHD but its design is a no no for me.typical rectangular shaped phone and im also worried about its updates because DHD might not get future updates.
Naaah, im really confused.
Thanks for your replies sir *salutes*
EDIT: and also ive heard that the battery of the HTC desire HD sucks. what should i do? help please. thanks!
Nexus S = no sd card
Is it true that the Nexus S has no SD Card slot? That would be the deal breaker for me to not get that phone.
Get a Hd2, the most customizable phone going, you can then use a desire or froyo or gingerbread rom, or even wp7 if you fancy it.

If I could choose between Nexus S, DHD and HD2, i would definately take the HD2! Hardware of the DHD and HD2 are nearly the same and it costs only half of the DHD. You can choose out of many OS's and the Android-feeling on the HD2 is native.
If you want a short answer:
There is no big difference between these phones, only the price matters.
First I wasn't sure if I should by the DHD or HD2 and I took the latter. A used HD2 but in very good condition for 180€ is a fair price. And DHD for 450€ is too expensive for me as a 17y old student ;D
i got 3 option
HTC Desire
HTC Incredible S
Google Nuxes S
i am from pakitan so the price for desire is 42K, Nuxes S for 44K and Incredible S is available for 46K
please suggest me, which cell should i buy.
The incredible S without doubt.
It is larger than the Desire (similar size to Desire HD). The Desire is just "old" compared to the other two and the Nexus S is a Samsung and I don't like Samsung phones (hardware and software, the former you can't do much about).
It depends really. Is this your first android phone?
One thing you might take for granted for example is that it will display Arabic characters but it doesn't. It is the top problem on Google's issue tracker at the moment but I have no idea of when they'll fix it. It is possible to get browsers such as opera that can display the characters correctly though.
On another point the Nexus S is a pure Android phone and as such is quite bare compared to HTCs. I have one myself but I did miss the selection of widgets that HTCs come with by default such as the mobile network on / off one. The last time that I looked none of the ones in the market worked on gingerbread.
If you're a new user I'd probably suggest the Incredible and perhaps something in the Nexus line for your next phone after that
thanks baz & jmm
yes this is my first android phone but i don't need Arabic support coz i can use set in english. so u guys suggesting me HTC Incredible S....
Absolutely, no question, HTC Incredible S.
Incredible S!
well HTC now is one of most popular brand, i think same like the others,HTC Incredible S

I would buy the Nexus S in a heartbeat, It would be the best of them. It is Google's version of the iPhone in quality and superior hardware. Those others don't really compare to it. The Nexus S is the only one with Android 2.3 (Gingerbread). The other two are still on 2.1 or 2.2. And the Nexus S is the only one to have a genuine gyro.
@MartyLK
thanks for reply
dude if u r just talking about OS then incridable S is also getting Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) in June so no big deal for me to use 2-3 months old os there is difference of FM radio, camera and sound ......
and incredible S also getting Sense UI 3.0 with Gingerbread
I would buy Incerdible S absolutly
thanks guys.....
i just unboxed my Incredible S.....
Incredible S for sure !!!!!!!!
Why the incredible s but not the desire s?? They are very similiar!! The community is too small for the DS...

My vote goes to Nexus S.

I find it to be the most overrated phone out there.
Good, maybe great, but nothing amazing.
+1 for the Incredible S
I love HTC and I'm a big fan of Sense as well (assuming that you root the phone and run sense 3.0 or a 2.1/3.0 mix)
HTC Incredible S is the phone I am opting for. At the same time Desire HD seems to be a sensible choice. Can anyone guide me; which one is Better ? or any other model from the same family with somewhat same budget.
Secondly, this will be my first android. I have heard that HTC phones are best when it comes to Android updates and their special 'Sense' UI.
If any other brand in the market is having better choices in the Somewhat Same Budget ? Not only budget, but I expect a really good functionality alongside good looks.
Hope you guys there will surely help me make my decision...
Definitely go for HTC. Incredible is I think better as its screen is just the right size, not too small and not too large.
check Samsung I9000
HTC Incredible S and Desire HD both are OK.
It seems the camera of DHD is better than IS. And the battery capacity, IS > DHD.
@ hookguy, OmenosTM, evnnetuser. Thank you for your suggestion. I am definitely inclined towards HTC. Just wanted check some better opitions if available. Samsung is really offering some good models but doubt whether is it better to spend about 30K for Samsung instead of HTC.
That's easy!
The Desire HD has got Android 2.2 while the Incredible S has got 2.3 so I'd definitely buy the Incredible S. But if you remove the letters I C R D E B L and add the letters S O A N T, you get Sensation. That's the best phone you can get and I think that the hTC Sense UI makes it better than the Galaxy S II.

Desire hd has now got gingerbread http://www.eurodroid.com/2011/05/ht...branded-android-2-3-update-out-now-in-the-uk/
I go with HTC because samsung phone can get messed up right away if u root it . I rooted my g1,htc hero and never got them messed up. I switch over 40 roms together on both device. Since, getting galaxy it got messed up within a few rom i got it bricked. Even my droid from motorola didnt get messed up . Point is HTC and moto is durable. Im buy me a droid incredible 1 soon. Go with incredible s and HTC. I hate Samsung and their touchwiz isnt a dealbreaker trust me.
So, all you guys think that HTC is always a better option... am I right??
Make sure you go and physically play with the Desire HD before you buy it. It is a pretty big phone. I was surprised how big it was.
Shall I wait and watch the credentials of HTC Sensation and Samsung GS-II ?
My advice to you is to wait for the feedback from Sensation users, GB dual camera dual LED 1080p ...
I'm still thinking the SGSII is gonna be great down the road.
Still rocking the Incredible with the XDA Premium App.
Thanks a lot for your replies guys.
It seems its better to wait for reviews of Sensation and GSII...
Hello Guys,
I'm new to this section here, maybe I'll also stay here.
I need an advice of you guys.
My current Smartphone is a HTC Legend, it's an older device and also a bit broken (battery hinge).
Today a friend offered me his HTC Sensation, he bought it about half year ago. He wants to switch to an iPhone (eeewww!).
There are a few scratches in the glass. You cannot see them while you are using the Device, but if you look closely in light you can see them.
On the side there are some scratches too (on the metal :S)
But he offered it to me for
250€!!!Shall I take it or would you say I should wait for another device or even for a 4G Device.
I don't know a lot about the stability with Custom Roms (i love cyanogenmod) and about the upgrade availability with ICS for example.
And I loved to mod my HTC Legend, I had S-OFF, but then I had to return it to HTC to let them fix my Touchscreen and I had to remove S-OFF again. And with the current bootloader it's impossible to S-OFF it again
Maybe it would be nice to hear some Germans too, because I don't know much yet about the Plans of o2 for their 4G Network.
And I just have a Netzclub card (The old one with 200MB)
EDIT: At the moment a Electronic Discounter in Germany offers the EVO 3D for 269€ - would it be a better choice, its nearly the same, isnt it?
250 Euros isn't a bad price for it.
You could wait but IMO it would certainly be a big upgrade over the Legend. Maybe it's worth waiting till MWC to see if any new devices like the Ville are ideal for you.
The EVO 3D is similar except I think it's a bit bulkier with 3D and 1GB of RAM compared to the Sensation with an 8MP (EVO had 5MP IIRC), no 3D but is slimmer.
My Problem is that I'm just a Student and I don't have too much money...
The Camera wouldn't be a problem in my opinion...
Basically three options:
Wait, HTC Sensation, HTC Evo 3D
Ahh I see. If I were you I'd go with the EVO then if the Camera doesn't matter.
But if you're not in need of a new phone then it's probably advisable to wait till MWC IMO.
I say get the Sensation, its a great device with some flaws (nothing major tho) but Evo 3D is useless, that 3D stuff is just a gimmick. As for the waiting...well you said you're a poor student (just like me ) so I think it doesnt matter, whatever HTC shows at MWC wont be cheap
If you like cm you will only have cm7 for now. The AOSP ICS support for this rom is pretty lacking. If you want ICS you will have to settle for sense.

The problem is that those prices are just offers with limited time.
And the Evo doesn't have that much Roms available :-(

Is there any hope for CM9 for the Sensation? And is it already confirmed that the Sensation gets ICS?
OH, just a quick thought, how much internal space does the data partition have? My legend has a 512 mb rom, so not much space left for apps (I'm using data2ext)

i dont know if that is a good price since i am in the US but the biggest issue i have with my Sensation is AOSP/Cyanogen dev support. if I could go back I would probably go with a Galaxy S2 or Galaxy S 2 X (very similar specs to Sensation) since they have much better dev support
sensation is a great phone. I also own an evo3d. I prefer my sensation over my evo3d. Sensation has more devs and stuff going on than the evo. Though if you wait for the latest and greatest I am sure it will cost a pretty penny. Though another thought if you buy the phone from him and get service I believe you could get a new phone at your carrier but you would have to verifiy that with your carrier of choice.

WiFi and signal reception can suffer death grip issues (easily fixed if you get a case ) , Sense sometimes crashes for no reason and you can notice that it slows down the phone from time to time, battery life is average. Again nothing serious but it can be frustrating , software problems are genrally fixed in custom roms if you're willing to root it
p.s it has been rumored that we will get ICS after MWC , probably in the first week of March
