OG Droid - still used as GPS
Gs3 - so far only issue is reception
LG vx10 - loved the pull up antenna, now a toy for nephew but still works.
Well, we have to put things in context... like when they were released.
1) Motorola Micro-TAC flip phone. I got it in 1994 and it was light years beyond anything else out there. It's competition was the notorious "brick" phone.
2) Samsung Omnia. 2008, it was great to have an alternative to the iPhone.
3) Motorola Razr Maxx. Best battery in the industry. 2 days between charges with a lot of use. Motorola screwed it all up when they updated to ICS and broke Flash video. Oh well.
Samsung Galaxy S III
LG T-Mobile G2x
Google Nexus One
Top 3 is difficult. But here are some of my favorite phones in the last 10 or so years in order of how I got them.
1. Kyocera Slider - Don't know why, I used to love this little phone. It was a Virgin Mobile phone and it worked fine for me back then.
2. LG VX10000 (Voyager Titanium) - Got this phone in 2009 when I first got Verizon.
3. iPhone 3G - Even though I really liked my LG Voyager, the iPhone is what I really wanted. Got me a second cell phone just to get it.
4. Original Droid - Gave my iPhone to a friend so he'd let me use his upgrade so I could get an iPhone 3GS. After a few months of that I got really sick already of Apple. Telling me the iPhone 3GS was now able to do things that I was able to do just fine with my Jailbroken 3G. So I made the switch. Rooted it the next day and I lost count of how many different roms I tried on it.
Fifth spot is difficult. Since the Original Droid I've had the Thunderbolt which was amazing when it worked but I also had so many issues with it. I had a Verizon Galaxy Nexus which was nice but Verizon Kind of kills the Nexus brand. I currently have the Galaxy Nexus GSM with a $30 T-Mobile prepaid and I have the Galaxy S3.
The Galaxy S3 I just recently got but I must say that so far I'm really liking it. Personally I think it looks beautiful and I just really like a lot of the little Touchwiz specific things like the fact that I can call someone I'm texting by putting the phone to my ear. Sadly I wish I could install Jelly Bean but I don't want to lose those little things. But right now if I was to pick another winner it'd be a tie between my Nexus and my S3.

I'm looking to buy a new phone sometime in the near future, but thought I would get some feedback from you all here. I have a HTC Droid Eris now which I hate, and been having problems with flashing ROMS and a bunch of other things. Anyways, to the point.
I'm looking at a few different one's right now.
1) Thunderbolt
2)Motorola Droid Bionic
3)Samsung Galaxy S2
?) LG Revolution
Just would like feedback from you all please.
Thanks for all your time and comments.
By far galaxy s 2 is the all around best. What provider?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
It will be Verizon.
Yeah, the gsII blows the other phones away. If money isn't much of an issue and you can wait a couple (?) months, then definitely go for the gsII.
Yup. Word around the blogsphere is that US will be getting 1.4 ghz gs2's. Bionic might be nice if it comes out soon. Revolution isn't so great. And thunderbolt has awful battery life.

Thanks all. I think I can wait a few months and maybe thrown the cash out, maybe an work a deal for a new 2 year agreement for the G S2. Anyone have an idea as to when it's coming out and the $$$?
If your decision are stuck with Verizon on caming July new plan hhmmm. LG revolution is best

You think so? i don't have battery issues with my bolt as long as I plug it in on my way to work, while at the office, on my way home, overnight.....
If I don't go for the galaxy s2, which would be the next best phone to get with verizon?
Samsung's great -- as long as you don't have to use KIES (which is only good for firmware updates IMO -- at least, that's the only thing I use it for); I'm happy with every Samsung device I own (smartphone, tablet, television, a few other things)
Gonna be several HOT new phones by years endl.
I keep reading about several new phones due this year. Most promise to beat anything we have now. I love my Eris running GSB 3.6. Only thing slow about it is loading web pages, other than that it is a great little phone.
I'm still up in the air on which phone to get if any suggestions after the Samsung G2
Hey guys & gls
I'm Sprint premium customer. now time to change my EVO 4g which one is best from EVO 3D or Motorola photon ?
I know a both phones have dual core . Please I need help to decided
Thank you in advance
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
if you want to pay get the galaxy s2
Samsung galaxy s2 is great.
i would go for s2 on phone with dual core processor or thunderbolt if you live in 4g zone
++ Samsung Galaxy S2 ... it's lovely.
So far I'm using Galaxy S, and I'm loving this machine, if I had money, I've defenitivly buy SGS2.
I think it will between the Samsung Galaxy S2 and the Motorola Droid Bionic, but need to get better reviews and comparisons when they both are out.
I currently have a Nexus. My upgrade is due and I want a GS3 but somewhat hesitant to make the leap. I love my Nexus and am a flashaholic. How are the ROMs and how do you like this phone compared to the nexus
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
You do realize 99% of us come from droid x ...droid 2 thunderbolt etc.... none of us had a nexus.
VERIZON GALAXY S 3 (CM10)
I came from a nexus an its definitely worth the upgrade. I flashed non stop on my nexus an though I'm itching to do it on my sgs3, it really is perfect stock. The battery life absolutely trumps the nexus. I can leave my 4G on on my sgs3 an still get way better battery life then my nexus.
As far as roms, ive been browsing an there are a good amount of ROMs. Especially now the bootloader is unlocked, it will really open up. I say it's a without a doubt a no brainer to get this phone.

lol. x2 keep my X handy for backup uses when i kill my gs3
to the OP, we have a few options for roms. seems more every other day. with the advancement of unlocking the bootloader (hellz yaz), i am sure we will see more and more roms. the phone rocks. see no reason not to get it.
Can't speak for the Gnex users since I am coming from a DX....But personally I think the phone is ridiculously great. I flashed non-stop on my old DX and have only flashed Synergy so far on the SGS3. I still think some bugs need to be worked out before I start crack-flashing the AOSP ROM's. In all I really like it and would recommend it.
I supported the bounty for unlocking the Galaxy S III but am staying with stock for now, because it works quite well for my needs as-is. Would like to move up to JellyBean, but not a CyanogenMod variant of such - so, I'll wait . . .
If you like your Nexus, there might not need to be a reason for your upgrade to happen yet, despite most Nexus users that I've read in these forums saying the new S III has been an upgrade all-around. And, if you wait awhile, the S III prices will eventually go down, as well (perhaps when the competing iPhone 5 arrives?)

Got it. This phone is beautiful
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
My infuse has gotten steadily less stable and functional since the day I got it, and I know it's the device because I have several other android devices that are months or years old and still work like new, even in some cases with the stock ROM still.
So I'm wondering if I should get the SGS III now (AT&T), wait for the note II later this month ($100 more than the SGS III) or TRY to survive until the SGS IV?
Galaxy S III will be 100 this Sunday at best buy. If that inclines the buy. Plus dev support is good I hear for the gs3. Trinity Kernel is amazing and dev supports the gs3. Plus the note 2 is gigantic Imo
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
I like the giantness of the note II but I can't really say what I'd use the processing power for. All I really do with my phone is doing things that involve reading (reddit, XDA, texting, sexting(lol jk), etc) and listening to music and watching movies sometimes. I'm not much of a gamer or multi tasker.
I might have to go to best buy tomorrow.
What do we think about the One X, appearance aside? It's quad core, has LCD (both + and -), and it has nicer out-of-the-box software. Just looking at all my options.
My wife and I have gone through a bunch of HTC phones in the past. Personally I don't like the quality. Talking to the at&t guy at the store he says they got better in that way. I'm still hesitant to go with them.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Everyone I know says they like the quality of the HTC over Samsung because they're solid and don't have a removable battery.

Again I can't comment on newer HTC, but my wife who uses a phone as a phone went through 3 of the original my touches before tmo swapped it with a moto clique. Then went with the my touch 4g and went through 2 of those before we parted ways. I had the hd2 and swapped it 4 times before I found xda and put android on it. Not sure but having to wipe the original operating system and replace it with one that ran off the microsd card to keep it stable enough to use isn't my idea of quality.
And issues weren't nit picky things. Constant crashes, reboots, phone and texting not working, factory resets just to use them.
Samsung us tons better in my eyes.

S3 or Note 2. Note 2 might be too big, so you could get the S3 instead. I wouldn't get the evo 4g lte because it still only has 1 GB of RAM and with that bloat from Sense, its gonna take up quite a bit. The battery on Evo is also 100 mah smaller, and Sense drains battery pretty damn quickly too. I wouldn't get iPhone 5 because I know 2 people with iPhone 5s and both had issues with them (one couldnt get WiFi to work, and the other had massive battery drain.)
ended up going with the note 2 and she loves it!!!
it's so ugly though
Note 2. Its bigger than s3 but got awesome battery life

I like this one not to big and not too small perfect in hand.
After almost two years with my Inspire, I'm very sad to have lost it, up til the end on jellytime was awesome and it was a new era.
Now I need to get a new phone, and the market seems overwhelming. I saw the developer RandomBlame from Jellytime being pretty happy with the nexus 4, but I'm not so sure I can live without a SD card slot.
I'm interested in reading about experiences from other people who for one reason or another have migrated from an Inspire/DHD to something else.
You guys who used to love you're Inspire/DHD, what phone made you equally or more happy? What phone do you regret going for thinking it would compensate for the ACE you had?
Happy New Year, D.
Sorry about your loss...my condolences.

HTC Inspire to HTC One X. Many friends of mine did this transition and are very happy with their switch!
I dont know if you can wait for a while and how you feel about BB, but the Z10 has amazing specs. I currently use the Inspire 4g and will give BB a look when its come out. Thats if it comes to ATT, which I think it would.

That sucks that you lost it. When looking I had my list narrowed down to three phones: HTC One X, Samsung Note 2, and Samsung Galaxy SIII. All three have good specs but it is up to you what you prefer more. I decided the Note series was just too big. I would have to use two hands to operate it and figured if I was going to do that I would buy a tablet first. Loved the HTC but the killer for me was the lack of SD card expansion and the lack of changing out the battery. Ultimately the S3 was my final choice. Love it so far. Had it rooted by the second day and have been cruising along with it for over a month now.
I'm hearing that there will be an SGS4 coming in April 2013.

I love my inspire as well, however even using the cyanogrnmod 10.1 unofficial sporting android 4.2.1 isn't enough to compensate for poor battery performance. I have had the phone around a year. I think I am sold on getting the Galaxy Note 2. With its huge battery and juggernaut hardware specs I could get two or three years use out of it. Not to mention it has an SD card slot which I too love.

Agreed battery is garbage. I'm not quite sold on the note 2. More sold on og note. Mainly cause I don't think my wife would be happy if I blew 600 bucks on a phone. Also I really like not being in a contract we have been contract free for about a year.
