[DISCUSSION] POST YOUR FAVORITE PHONE OF ALL TIME and/or CURRENTLY

I haven't owned many phones. Although, my first Android phone was an HTC HD2. Now I have a Nexus One, with a broken power button and I cant have much fun with testing ROMs with it, as I did with my Leo. My Leo broke, which is WHY I have a Nexus One -____-
SO IM CURIOUS WHAT ARE PEOPLE'S FAVORITE PHONE(S).
LONG LIVE LEO!!

I would have to say the Epic 4G, the original with a physical keyboard. With CM9 this phone is great and I do not regret buying at all.

Seems like a great phone, i would totally use it if i had sprint. Thanks!

now im using galaxy gio, nice phone, nice camera and worhted to buy
just in my opinion

Seems like it has some great development as well. Thanks for sharing!

using Galaxy Nexus , this is the best phone that i have ever seen

For this moment it is HTC Desire, always up to date and very good design and reactivity

Right now I'd have to say the HTC Sensation XE. It's my current phone and I did quite some comparing before I bought it. But with what I see coming the next years, I think my next phone will become by then-all-time-favorite and so on.

Isn't HTC HD2 a Windows mobile phone. It's not Android.

Using the HTC EVO 4G, currently running the Energy SensationXL Sense 3.5 with Anthrax Kernel and flashed it to MetroPCS.
The only thing I can't get working is my mms, hopefully to have it fixed soon.

Galaxy Nexus smooth design and a google support with all android updates

YEah, i flashed Android on it.

Seems like people like the Galaxy Nexus. I personally LOVE the Sense UI, and am very happy The HTC One S will come with Android & Sense 4.0. Cant wait to get it!!

Galaxy Nexus followed by the Sensation.

I think It's because of HTC. With all the different variant versions of one S all the different h boots. I dunno man I truly belive my next cell phone will be Samsung. I've always wanted to try it out but didn't like the phone design. The galaxy 3 and note 2 are the first Samsung phones that actually caught my eye. I guess we will see what's in the future line up. I had the HTC amaze and sensation. HTC failed the Amaze as well. Oh well.

[Q] What phone currently has the most development?

I'm sort of new to Android and I currently have a lg vs910. I love the phone my only problem with it is there are only a couple of custom roms running on it. Don't get me wrong I love the broken out 2.0.1 and mtmichaelson did a great job. But I'm almost due for an upgrade and I want a good phone that has a few more options for custom roms. I know this question is sort of opinion based but that's what I want please let me know you're opinions.

The inevitable, unavoidable Galaxy SIII

Galaxy S3 has great options!

Thank you. I kind of thought that would be most peoples answer but wanted to see If someone would mention a phone I haven't yet heard of. Thank you for the quick response though.

I had previously had a Motorola Droid X and HTC Thunderbolt and neither of them could come close to the number of choices and fast updates that I have been able to get with my Galaxy S3. Its amazing when you consider the Verizon model shipped with a locked boot loader. I had Jelly Bean on my S3 before the VZW Nexus got the update officially. Plus the hardware is great!

I would say the HTC Evo 4g because it has been around since 2010, and there are still roms being developed for it.

sorry but the galaxy nexus no one considers, in addition to being a great device brings several customizations ... (this is my thought)

I have a samsung galaxy s more than 2 years now. Great device while many, many custom roms available. And they are stable too!
My next device will be a Samsung again. I am in doubt wether it will be S3 or Note.

The galaxy nexus GSM hands down. The Nexus 4 is also going to follow up with the same level of development when it is released

Thank You

I'm not a frequent poster. Heck, I'm still not above the necessary posts for posting in Dev forums. But I wanted to delurk and say this: thank you.
I've been on XDA for a few years now, starting with the Samsung Captivate, moving on to the HTC Inspire 4G, presently on this forum and soon the One forum. In that time I've had the opportunity to see many people, many devs and countless iterations of ROMs (some of which have followed my transit, oddly).
XDA has a lot of great people: young, old and somewhere inbetween. The devs and users alike have been great on the HTC One XL. Arguably, this is one of the best groups I've frequented.
Devs: Thanks for all the tireless, sometimes thankless work. Some of you are literally half my age and are able to do things I barely understand. Remember that for every pissant whiner, there are any number of people just like me silently going along and enjoying every bit of what you do. Sense or stock, all of you make this phone fly.
Users: You guys are great, period. Funny, helpful and great bunch overall. I've seen a lot of you support the devs with bug reports, donations and sometimes just with thanks. That is awesome. Keep it up!
So, anyway. That's all I have to say for whatever it is worth. I'll be following along with the One forums. Maybe I'll talk with some of you there if/when I finally break my lurker habits.

HTC Desire > HTC One XL... both great phones but the lack of internal storage on the Desire was a huge frustration. All the crap you had to go through to store apps properly on SD was crazy. But the awesome devs made it happen for us.

Just have to say thanks as well. I gained a lot if knowledge especially from exad, venomtester, and redpoint. I used that knowledge to help others on and off the forums. This community is freaking awesome. Thanks again.

THANK YOU "bkcokota" AND OTHER XDA DEVS
I am new to this forum and especially new to rooting......
upon deciding to root my HTC ONE SV 3 days ago, and failing miserably, might i add, i followed "bkcokota" guide.
at no fault of his own i tried and tried again.......gave up, then tried and tred again......rinse and repeated this several times......then said F it and
decided to research anything i could find on the web about rooting phones........upon one more try at rooting this thing i finally got it......
i at this time.........about 5 minutes ago.......realized i was a complete "noob" as ive seen this word used alot the last couple of days.
but after researching all i could realized how easy it was to do, and at how clear bkcokota's directions were........one of those "doh"
moments obviously, wanted to thank him personally as well as all the xda members who posted their findings to this site. i couldn't post to his
original thread, because of obvious reasons, so i decided to post it here. i hope it gets to him as his guide was detrimental to succeeding at my
task.
again,
THANK YOU "bkcokota" AND ALL OTHER XDA DEVS AND MEMBERS ALIKE.
PS: "[GUIDE] Root for HTC One SV UPDATED 23/02/13 - bkcokota" was the guide i followed

Lol unfortunately you're in the wrong forum dude, this is the One XL forum

I really did love my captivate, except that I flashed roms too often and wore out the sliding battery door

While we're at it, I'd like to say thanks. Been here since the windows sliders - G1 - incredible - HOX. I never got to tell my devs how much I appreciated their work, but now I'm trying to pass my account post limit so I'm able to do so. You are all an awesome bunch, HOX/XL devs are some of the best, for sure. Please keep it up!

The Captivate has remarkable legs. I was surprised to see how much support it has after all these years. I probably would've kept it longer were it not for the SOD issue.
Incidentally, the Captivate will probably be traded in to fund the new phone.
