[Q] New phone imminent, need advice.

Well, in 3 months time runs out my contract and i'd be happy to retire my HTC Touch Pro by replacing it with one of these:
HTC (Google) Nexus One
HTC Desire
or
Samsung Galaxy S.
For now for some reason i'm leaning towards Samsung.
Been watching/reading loads of reviews of all three phones.
My question is - why NOT to have a Samsung Galaxy S ?
I'm not trolling, this is a genuine question that needs answering before 2-3 months run out.
I know the main attraction of HTC phones (XDA-Dev rom cooking ), not sure how Samsung fares in this field.
Any thoughts on all of the above ?

Well, Samsung certainly has its fair share of Rom chefs. SDX-Developers is probably the biggest forum concerning such things if you didn't know.
Personally, I love the Galaxy S line. Super Amoled, great processor and video performance, camera... what's not to love?
Not much I can say negative of the line at all... Great choice IMO.
Sorry if I'm not being critical enough .

On look out for a new android phone but.....

Hi
I am starting to look for a new phone to replace my HTC Desire which is coming to the the end of its contract and will be due an upgrade in January. I have been looking around for a new phone, but i am struggling to know what to get.
Obvious one to look at would be Samsung Galaxy Nexus, galaxy s2 etc.....but they seem massive against my desire...
If people own one of these phones, do they not find the size is a hindrance while on the move?
I Guess my question is what would people suggest as a good phone to get which is a similar size to the HTC Desire?
By the way i live in the UK, if that affects what is available.
thanks in advance
Andy

Similar size would be Nexus One, Desire S or the slightly bigger Nexus S. Apparently everyone needs phones the size of laptops now so there's not much choice for normal sized devices.

I recommend the Desire S
Actually no, its not much of an upgrade, but if you are happy with the Desire, you could upgrade and get a Desire S on a even cheaper contract.

Moving from Nexus S to....GN or HTC One x?

Hey guys!
I now this question isnt about the NS, but sence you guys apparently have the same taste in phones as me, I found it best to ask for you guys opinion.
I'm looking for a new phone, and was ofcourse concidering the Galaxy Nexus. But then the HTC One X was announced. The thing is that the Galaxy Nexus is still more expensive than the HTC One X here in Norway, and I do belive that the HTC One X packs more "horsepower" than the Galaxy Nexus anyway.
I was also thinking bout the Samsung Galaxy III, but sence Samsung support on updates are less than ****, i quickly discarded the idea.
Any thoughts ?
Cheers!

I would wait until you can walk into a store and play with both of them. Don't let the supposed faster updates of the Nexus line sway you. After about a year those promises are left empty anyway. There are multiple phones that will get ICS before the Nexus S does so thinking about Jelly Bean...you will just as likely get it on another manufacturers device before you will on the Galaxy Nexus.
The nice thing about an HTC phone is you will most likely have the option of running Sense ROMS or AOSP roms if there is enough development which there most likely will be now that bootloaders are easily unlocked. I had this choice when I had my Evo Shift and it was nice depending on my mood.
I am in the same boat between the Galaxy Nexus and the HTC One X. It really depends on Sprint's schedule for me at this point and whether they will carry the HTC One X.

Ive played around with the GN, as a friend of mine just bought it. Its a nice phone, with a much better build quality than the NS. Very fast and responsive, but nothing mindbogeling, when compared to the NS. I imagine that the HTC One X is a better phone i every aspect when it comes to specs, over the GN?

[Q] Is going for a HTC One X a good choice right now?

Hello,
I've been waiting to upgrade from my HTC Desire (yes, I know, any phone now will be an upgrade from the Desire). I live in Japan and we usually dont all the good Android phones that makes it to stateside. We do have GS2 and Gs3 is coming, but there is no HTC One X. Despite One X being the flagship HTC phone, carrier KDDI decided to get only HTC One S, and even that they modified the hell out of it.
I only have the choice of GS3 and One X, which I'll be buying an international version, not through a carrier. I had set my mind on the One X, as performance wise they are similar, and and I love the One X build over the GS3 plastic frame. There's no denying that One X is a sexy phone.
Sorry for the irrelevant details.
Right now, I'm really worried about getting the One X because:
1) Multitasking issue
2) Wifi issue
3) Battery overheating
I will not be using 3G data on this so Wifi is very important to me. And I would consider One X removing apps from cache is a big problem. I usually switch back and forth between apps quite often.
So my question is, although there are some workarounds for multitasking issue, given other issues, would you recommend getting this phone right now? Or should I wait out a bit more? Or go for GS3 because these issues are just too serious? Or will there be a custom ROM coming out soon so I can just flash.
Please help me with your opinions.
Thank you.

Go for S3.

I have the Evo LTE (Sprint), and if it is anything like It's one x cousin, I'd go for it. But I am partial to HTC devices.
You won't be disappointed either way I'm sure.

[Q] htc one question

my update is coming up, i am leaning toward the htc one , but my uncle is telling me its not better than the samsung 4 . I have compared them two but i can't seem to decide on which one. Any suggestions.

Both are good phones. Why I went for the One is because I like solid built phones, something HTC has been known for for a while now.
HTC on the other hand is not the best when it comes to sw updates.

I think so
