What do you want in the phone?
Camera, front facing? CPU? Screen size? Good development? Etc...
Mainly, I'm also wondering off contract or on contract... and new or used?
The HD2 is not a bump specs wise from your Galaxy S, but it has amazing development. It can run WM6.5, WP7, Android 4.0, MeeGo, and something else too I forgot.

i want something that has a bigger screen, and camera doenst bother me that much, i never take picrures
i really want a faster phone with more ram, or a dual core. the reason for the HD2 was the big screen and the huge development for it

Ok then I'll warn you, the HD2 is not that much faster.
I still need to know if you mind buying a used phone, and what country you live in.

i live in the netherlands, and i dont mind buying a used phone, if it works and everything is fine, its good , do you have any more suggestions?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app

OK well... I don't know much about availability of phones in countries outside the US... but there are definitely some worthy upgrades in that range (in USD its 122-250).
I can offer a big list of used phones in that price range, but I don't know if the sellers on eBay ship to the Netherlands. Hmm.
Sent from my MB508 using xda premium

there are loads of phones here, but not second handed, so theyre all really expensive, and i could get one from ebay :3
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app

Here are the phones in that price range, used on eBay. The problem is, I don't know about availability in the Netherlands.
Motorola Atrix 4G
Motorola Atrix 2
Samsung Captivate Glide
LG Thrill 4G
LG G2X (Optimus 2X)
LG Nitro HD
HTC Sensation
HTC Mytouch 4G Slide
And the single core phones that are upgrades from the Galaxy S
HTC Inspire 4G (Desire HD)
Samsung Infuse 4G
I also went onto the eBay app using the Netherlands country code, and I found some used GS2s slightly above €210, but they still had an hour or so on them so they were bound to go higher.

The HTC HD2 is great if you are interested in ROMs, dual booting, modding, etc. Otherwise, the Sensation is the best overall in that price range. The HTC HD2 will last at least a year due to the huge dev community but the Sensation is vastly better on specs.

Get the galaxy s3. It is an amazing phone. I loved my gs2. And this is like a hdtv compared to a b&w white one. I love all the features and the screen size. Check it out when u have time

I don't think even the Galaxy S 4G would be an even trade for the myTouch 4G.
Maybe only a Nexus S I would consider for an even trade. But that's still iffy.

Better build quality (hand feel)
FFC
Trackpad
Dedicated camera button
LED flash
Hardware home buttons
Natively working GPS
A power button on the top (where it should be)
Stronger dev support
HSPA+ (4G)
More RAM
2nd gen CPU
No Samsung PR lies and broken promises.
Your offer is definitely not an even trade. I owned a Vibrant. To be fair, the things Vibrant has over mt4g are the ability to video-out through the headphone jack and the camera hardware is better, although the lack of a dedicated button made picture taking a hassle. The samoled screen quality is pretty nice too. That's it.

Best phone on T-Mobile

I love my optimistic t, its a great phone but I have only a few questions...what the best T-Mobile phone on market...the sensation? Also knowing i can get a completely unlocked phone, what would y'all think is the best phone according to performance, internal storage/ram and ie....
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
It is actually optimus...
I think HTC sensation 4g is the best phone in T-mobile network.
The problem with it is the battery, not going to last long.
Samsung galaxy S2

Actually and technically, the MyTouch 4G Slide might be the best T-Mobile phone. It has the best camera and audio and other stuff.
Galaxy S II
Any specs on the phone you mentioned...I believe the optimus t uses a 600/800 MHz processor, with my mind falling more to 600...the g1 had the same processor..I loved that phone, man I spent countless hours learning what i could about rom development...unfortunely technology is always involving so its nearly impossible to keep up with it

Are you guys forgetting about the HTC Amaze 4G? That is definitely the best phone on T-Mobile next to the Samsung Galaxy S II
Radar 4g is my favorite at the moment. The dell venue pro is also pretty outstanding. You won't get a better media or gaming device on t-mobile.
Just how more advanced can phones get? Soon our phones might wipe our ass
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
HTC Amaze (why even consider Sensation with Amaze out?) or GS2.
Go for Radar if you are interested in WP7 and aren't interested in customization.

Is the nexus worth the trade of a sensation or should I ask for cash?

Depends on which "nexus S" you are speaking of.
The galaxy s II is an upgrade from the sensation. The original nexus S would be a few steps down as far as specs go.

I loved my Sensation, but i got bored like I always do.
Right now, if you have your warranty active on your phone, t-mobile has several alternate exchanges for the Sensation.
They had:
Mytouch by LG
Mytouch Q by LG
HTC Radar
Galaxy S II
I swapped mine for an S2 just saying it wouldn't turn on.
No idea how long this is going on for, I called in on the 24th and it was still going on.

It's good if you like Windows 7. No removable battery or SD card though.
If your Sensation is less than a year old, you still have your manufacturers warranty and they'll exchange it with that. It's just a 20 dollar fee and you have to wait for ground shipping, or pay $20 more for express shipping.

HTC Sensation 4G vs Galaxy Nexus

I have found a great deal on a like new Galaxy Nexus, and I would like to know your thoughts and opinions. Is it time to jump ship for this device which I have had for a year to a phone still receiving continuous updates, or should I save my money and stick with the Sensation?
If your looking for official support then nexus, but here on xda it's doesn't matter if it's a good deal I would get the nexus. But if you want to save money and wait for a better phone keep your sensation.

S4, Note II, or HTC One?

Hey guys,
So I had my Skyrocket now for some time (still love it), AT&T just came out with an offer where you can get pretty much any of their phones $199 and below for 50% off. So S4, Note2 and HTC One are only $100, not bad right?!?!
Now the question is if you guys could pick which one would you guys for and why? I like all 3, size is not an issue. Hope I could get some feedback to make a choice. Thanks.
Probably should have stuck this in the next phone thread but wouldn't the note2 be 150 since its 300? Unless it dropped in price. Personally tho, I'd say s4. I'm sure spitfire will stop in and say get the One because its the most amazing phone in the world . But really, go with what suits your needs. Or if you still dig the rocket and it does what you need, save your money.

HTC One
Design that never fails to excite me, kind of excitement that I get when buy a brand new phone.
Sent from my HTC One
Totally sorry, did not see the next phone thread.
The Note 2 is $199 on AT&T. So it will be $100. The only thing I really like about the Note 2 is the battery life.
So it's basically between the HTC One and S4.
I would be getting it as a bday gift, so I'm lucky in this situation.

Why would you want a 4 Megapixel camera that is no longer software optimized for it (by HTC's proprietary software)? That said, the S4 does feel pretty flimsy and fragile, in my limited experience with it.

At the end of the day Samsung's always have a better Dev following, how important that is is up to u.
I will again greatly endorse the S4, especially Dev edition if u can spring for it.
Yeah, I really like the HTC One A LOT! The only thing is that I know the Devs for Samsung are amazing, just look at our Skyrockets still being able to stick around with the S3/4. I dont know how the HTC One Devs will be, I havent really gone around their Forums yet.
However, I'm sure they have to be a few great Devs there working on it, esp with vanilla Android coming out for the HTC One coming out.
Thank you guys for your inputs, helped me think of some important factors that I missed out on.
The devs are great over there. They love the device and there is a nice selection of good roms over there.
