Witch phone for 300€ or less - General Questions and Answers

Hello. My father is looking for a new phone. I don't know androids phone because I'm a windows phone user and I think for this price android phones are better. I saw Sony xperia arc S for 289€.
It seems to have good specifications a big screen and ics update. It's his first smartphone. What do you mean of this idea ? Is for you some better choice for this price and why ?
Thanks for your answer

Wp7 on android pre-installed phone

I was wondering if I could flash a wp7 rom (lastest build) to my android phone (Motorola triumph 2.3.7 gb) ? Is that even possible?
Sent from my Motorola Triumph using xda premium
It's possible in theory since the Triumph uses Snapdragon processor.
Unfortunately, no one has publicly been able to port Windows Phone OS to Android devices.
Wp7 isn't open source, so it won't happen...
Other than hd2, no phone has windows phone ported

it would be frowned upon by microsoft for licensing... but who cares about EULA's ? i don't.
i'd imagine the small, incremental changes in chipsets would be problematic for the drivers to handle... given how driver updates have gone in windows in the past, and there is no driver update service on wp.

in xda some friends ported succesfully wp7 on toshiba tg01
and even there are some troubles like camera and signal otherwise it work
therefore maybe one day...
Technically HTC evo should be able to have a port but i don't think there is enough demand for it

Sad but true
I really hope it will NEVER happen because we paid a lot of money to have Microsoft OS. I could buy a Galaxy S phone than install Windows Phone on it instead of buying an Omnia 7 paying 70/80 euros more...

[Q] Iphone 5 vs the best android phone

I think it will be s3.

looks and software is really derivative, but hardware wise new nokia lumia camera will blow everything else out of the water camera wise. The S3 for everything else

Apart from being off topic your wrong about lumia as best camera in the world on a smartphone is the 41 mp pureview 808 lumia doesn't even come close to it.

so I got the name wrong, sue me.
The next phone that God Google will release with a partner(Samsung;HTC;Huawei;Motorola(most probable);LG etc..)
Thanks, but that does not answer the second question...I'm thinking on what to got and i like both apple and android.

i think htc phones are the best for me !
Please look at the question, thoroughly...that's a wrong answer.
Sent from my LG-P506 using XDA
Apple hardware is great, even though it's not even made by them, but won't rival anything that Android has to offer. The 4S has a 1GHz dual core processor. So what? Say hello to the HTC Rezound, HTC One X, Sony Xperia S, LG Nitro, Samsung Galaxy Nexus, Samsung Galaxy Note, Samsung Galaxy S2 HD LTE etc.
I don't think I need to say much more.
Apple software is ****. iOS can GTFO IMO. Sure, it's clean, simple, fast, reliable and freakin' boring!
It's an app drawer...big deal.
Basically:
Android > iPhone
If I helped, please say thanks
I Think That The Nexus Phones are the Best, between Android and IOS I think that are similar But I prefer Android Becouse They Are Really similar like Nexus S and Iphone 4S regards
That's what u wa looking fir, Ty. Keep debating.

I concur. The Xperia skin actually makes me want to stick with the stock rom. Much better than many others I've used, which usually have me running to cyanogen
Quick question, of i get a Rom, then the warranty is void, right.

Is windows phone worth buying ???

Hi ppl i have a Samsung galaxy tab 2 7inch p3100 as i can't carry this to all the place, iM planning buy a another phone as I'm in android 4.0.4 ice cream s i looking forward to buy a windows phone in Samsung or HTC is it worth buying a windows phone or shall i go for android itself ????

Stick w/ droid.
i have a windows phone and i'm loving it the same way as android,
its better than iphone and its super sleek and fast,
but android is better than WP in some ways but based on the devices that i have the WP is faster
I can't get over the fact that Windows Phone is based on those fairly large boxes, so I'd stick with Android.
Have to say for using as a stock device WP7 is much sleeker and smoother.
But for lack of applications and mods in WPA7, I would pick my HTC Incredible S over my Nokia Lumia 800 any day of the of the week
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda app-developers app
If you go for a windows phone get wp8 as wp7 phones can't be upgraded to wp8 and so you won't be able to use certain features and apps on the wp7 models.

Wait for wp8 and then you can decide about to buy one of this.
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
I wouldn't waste my money on WP7 right now when WP8 is right around the corner (October-December). If you can't wait that long, get an Android device and make sure it's one that won't get screwed over when a major update like Jelly Bean comes around.
Windows Phone is a pretty nice OS to play with though. I have the Lumia 800 and 900 and love them both. However, the lack of customization options is a big turn off for me. Customization is a major reason why I'm beginning to love Android over my iPhone. Windows Phone app numbers are a minor problem for me. Most of the apps I need on a regular basis are available there. Everything else is just for fun and there are alternatives in Windows Phone marketplace. I have over 20 apps on my WP7 devices.
dude... windows sucks.
their pc sucks, their phones suck, everything about windows screams "we only care about money!!!" and they dont even give u good stuff for it.
but if u even need to ask this question, then either u dont own an android, or u do, and u simply have no idea of the incredible peice of technology you have in your hands and the unlimited possibilities that are at ur finger tips...
but hey, thats just my two cents..
Android and Linux to the end!!
No , just no . Android phones are simply better stick with it
I will stick to android itself thank you ppl

Let's be objective...
Hi,
I have to say that I love android for so many reasons such as the freedom it gives you in terms of customization... Nevertheless I had a chance to try a Lumia 710 and I was impressed by the responsiveness of the phone. In my opinion it depends a lot on what kind of user you are...whether you like to mod your phone or simply use it.....
Little green guy all the way. He easily smashes windows for fun and slices and eats apples for dessert. Make the right choice.

help me decide for an android smarphone

well ive been looking for an android smartphone i was using the lg optimus one the p505 phoenix it was really good but now i want something bigger
i was seeing the nexus one but i ve told that it has hardware problems that is not good so what others model can you suggest me to buy of course the one goes cheaper i meant 100-110 us on ebay
Hi, a phone is a phone is a phone ? Except when it gets silly looking a becomes a "phablet !"
I run a Samsung Galaxy GT-S5570 (mini) yes its small, but it does what I bought it for...
However if you are a power user I would choose a Droid Razor MAX its got a 31 or 3300Mh/amp battery, plenty juice to run your apps or WiFi all day-then some.
Then again if you just want a smart Droid that can do it all, I can't see past Samsung's range.
Check which flavour your new phone will run and if its going to get a newer version.
Hope this helps, good luck happy hunting
P.S. Don't be afraid to ask a salesman to boot up a fresh one,if you see one you fancy and the display version is dead or a dummy.

The Nexus One has TERRIBLE multitouch. Just google "nexus one multitouch test" and you will see for yourself. Avoid at all costs.

No to the HTC wildfire s, it will be a downgrade in terms of specs and software, only upgrade is build quality and camera.
The HTC mytouch 4g is a nice upgrade and has a decent sized screen. Its a great choice

which android phone I should choose ?

Hello everybody, I'm a bit confused to choose the best phone on my price range.
So in your opinion which mobile should be the best from my list if we compare, processor, ram, sd mini card availability, screen quality, battery life and so on. Maybe I should take some different phone with similar specifications ?
I got couple of them:
*LG E610 Optimus L5
*Sony ST25i Xperia U
*Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray ST18
*Sony ST23i Xperia Miro
*LG P700 Optimus L7
Any suggestions I will appreciate, thanks indeed.

Search the forums. Look at some of the apps and roms for some of your choices. Choose the phone that best suits your needs.

okay, buy all what I wanted was people opinions and experience
I have a samsung note 2 and it is awesome. But... Is it on your budget?
unfortunately isn't on my budget, p.s. I already had samsung galaxy s and wouldn't be keen to have again
What is your budget ? Are you buying off-contract or carrier-subsidised ?
There are a few good web-sites where you can compare phones side-by-side, I used them myself when I was shopping around.

Not bad. Do you tried to find something used?
When I was first looking, my budget was similar (then I decided to spend a little extra). I would definitely check out used phones. I think I'd been considering a Galaxy S II at that price point, but don't know if you could do better, I think the Galaxy Nexus was a bit more - but I'd check and see if the prices have come down since the Nexus 4's now come out.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda app-developers app
Go for the Xperia u you can find it for 150euro but I don't suggest you an android phone for the budget instead go for a wp7.5 / 8 , like the Lumia 620 because wp is much more lighter and fluid on budget phones.
