I'm looking to switch to att and can't figure out what phone to go with. I like the 1x+, but not sure about sticking with HTC. The optimus is only $100 so that's kind of where I'm leaning right now. Any suggestions or input would be greatly appreciated.

I would get the one x plus. The camera on the optimus g sucks although it is 13 megapixel, and I hate touchwiz

If you're getting att don't get n4 I wouldn't do this. I would get something designed for 4g from them. The one x plus is what I would choose. Just an opinion.

Yup the one X+ is the better build and ships with jb. I did the research last night for my gf who is planning on breaking from from apple in January. Only thing is that you'd have to deal with strong possibility HTC won't update as frequently as Samsung. And also the camera is better on the s3.
Google this "samsung Galaxy s3 vs HTC one x+" it should get you the reviews with enough info to consider before making a final decision
IMHO, I'd wait & see what comes out of CES and how soon. For all you know the M7 could be right around the corner, although it'd probably be $100 shy of a Macbook Air.
I'm really considering the optimus g because you can pick one up for $99 and I really like that it has the s4 pro and 2gigs of ram. Is the 1x+ worth $100 more than the lg and is the tegra 3 on the same level as the s4 pro?

When given a choice like this always go for the non LG (sorry if that's harsh) I've had enough hands on with them to always be worried when faced with one. The biggest overall issue issue is that the support from LG and the tools provided to work with their devices are beyond frustrating and cumbersome to work with. The quality of the manufacturing makes me wonder sometimes too. The optimus g is nice looking, wicked quick, has a decent os on it and is a great device but even with just a bit of limited handling its already starting to show signs of wear on the out of the box perfect looking exterior. HTC phones are built like tanks and yep the cameras have been kickass. Sammy is always a good call lately too. My advice is if you go LG get a case and treat it like a precious jewel...you do get what you pay for ..or just go HTC or Sammy
That's just my personal opinion..but you should go hands on with all 3 and decide for youself

But the evo hardware is going to be far slower in a year than nexus hardware. The Hummingbird processor we've seen in the SGS family is by far better than what the evo is sporting.
I don't have a single concern about my Nexus S (or Epic) not being adequate in a year or two.... I have used an evo now and I already feel that it's a slow clumsy device shoe-horned into a large enclosure to attract the "hummer crowd" ... bigger is better, am i right?
I just got rid of my epic for the ns4g (cracked screen on epic). My fiancée has the EVO and I have to say its a night and day comparison. Battery on the nexus is much better. Everything is smoother, and of course the display is 100x better. The EVO is a nice phone, but hardware wise its a bit out of date.

I previously had a Vibrant, and loved it. Unfortunately I had a pretty intense water accident with it (sat in a jacuzzi for 10 min before realizing it was in my pocket). I am eligible for an upgrade and am torn on phones. I have to get a phone by the 25th, so I can't wait for the Hercules, so I'm wondering, should I look at the Sensation, SGS4G or G2X?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
I would recommend that you go to a T-Mobile store and check them all out.
All three of them are different, out of the three though I preferred the G2x since I like it stock.
I had the SGS4G and although it was a good phone I think that the G2x is a better phone all around. Tetra Dual core, HD recording, unlocked bootloader, stock, great screen, hdmi port, and build quality.
Hope that helps

I would recommend that you go to a T-Mobile store as well. If you are not good with dealing things, do not go for the g2x. Don't get me wrong,I love my phone. It's an amazing phone,but you have to do little work on it. If you like sense, go for the sensation, if you like games? I would suggest to go with the g2x.
But it all comes down to you, buddy. Go to a store and try them out to see if you like which better.
if you cant wait for the hercules than get the g2x because its almost the same price as the sgs4g but daul core, since sensation sucks its only using one core but good gpu. G2X ftw because of performance and price.

I've read a lot of good things about the Mytouch 4g's, those could be worth looking into if you're just looking for a change.
I picked up my G2x from craigslist so I could replace the POS that was the mytouch slide 3g. So far I've been more than happy with the G2x and all the ROM's currently available for it. Personally I'll be hanging onto the G2x until either the Galaxy SIII or G4x comes out.
The sensation is also a good phone. Used to have it. I would go back if I coould. Really great phone
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
I'd say go with the Galaxy Nexus, the screen and Pure Google, plus the relatively cheap, no contract price made me bite the bullet.
About once per day or two there is an SGS2 for sale on Craigslist for $300 or $320. They go quick though, I've missed out on 2 of them so far. Not a bad upgrade for $100 out of pocket if you can get $200 for your G2X.
heck i got 2 g2x phones that i dont use anymore. 1 is still stock and the other is rooted w/ weapon 3.0... make me an offer.
I just went from the G2x to the galaxy s2 titanium and its pretty awesome. No more random shutdowns and supposedly it is getting a legit ICS update on the 14th
I decided to keep it, I guess I got lucky with mine because I never get random freezes or reboots..
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
You should sell it and upgrade to the Sensation. Tons of dev support, better processor, bigger screen, fully functional ICS. Or like another person said, shell out a bit more for a GNex. It would certainly be a smart move to head to a better phone while yours still has value.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA
you cant go wrong with the galaxy nexus as it has a ton of developer support right now, as it is pure google and running the latest software natively.
with that being said, the htc sensation also has tremendous dev support with many different kinds of roms and kernels optimized for it.
i would also suggest the one s by htc, since it is a quality phone with high-end hardware and shouldnt be too hard to mod once it gains some steam.
I really wouldn't fork out the money for the Galaxy Nexus. I would prefer the S2 over the galaxy nexus with 16GB internal AND you can use an SD card. GNex you're stuck at 16. I would definitely recommend the Sensation or Amaze 4G build quality is amazing and dev support will certainly be there.
I'm looking to get an S2, Amaze or Sensation depending on how much funds I have.
You can get an sensation forb230-300. Amaze and s2 for 300-400

Sensation...upgrade? Please child. Anywho I would go for either sII nexus maybe even the one s(as long as it doesn't use nvidia chip)
I was considering the Sensation at one point, but I kept hearing things plaguing the device like a touchscreen that stops working.
Can't have a phone that doesn't work.
the sensation is an AMAZING device.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
Sensation is great but it's really not a huge step up over the G2X. If you want a real step up you will want the SII or GNex or Amaze4G....I would pass on the One S unless you really want the camera.
I'm thinking about getting a new phone soon... I wanted to pick up the HTC One X but reading about so many faulty devices over on the forums I'm kinda hesitant now. Still wondering whether or not I should make the plunge; on the other hand the 4S looks pretty interesting as well so that's also an option. So does the Xperia Arc S.
I need to get the phone before Julyish since I'm going overseas to study.
I don't see the newer phones (even One X, Galaxy S3) being much better than the G2x already. Sure they have ICS, but all the apps I run are fine on GB. Plus the extra cost to upgrade vs the ~$200 out-of-contract price of G2x on $30/mo plan doesn't justify it.
With all pricing aside, what's in ur opinion the best phone on the market right now?

Galaxy Note for T-Mobile, Galaxy S 3 for T-Mobile, Nexus Tablet.
That is what catches my eyes but in reality, my G2X will do just well for like 4 years more just as my Etched Nexus one does. My G1 is just too slow now.
Sensation rocks because the developer support is unparalleled. But the S3 is fantastic,and if you want a big screen the Note is excellent. And the One X, while it does have a few kinks in terms ram management, its arguably the best phone out there. Tried it in the store and it is unreal fast

Screw the carriers and their neutered phones. Sgs3 is getting a dual core across the board in the US.

I was going to get the s3 untill they took the quad core out of it.
I didn't really want to wait for the next big device to come out, so I just got a Galaxy Nexus. I really couldn't be happier. I still have my G2x to test some ROMs on and as to use as a backup phone.

Look at the post for the s3 in the general section, and then look at the comparison for the new krait CPU that will be in the sgs3, yes it is a bummer that its only a dual core but how much utilization will a quad be used? With the research I've done I'm more then happy with what the stateside sgs3 has to offer just have to decide other things my previous post stated.
And don't worry my mt3g isn't going anywhere like my g1 its safe and sound lol.

If I stick with android I won't buy another non Nexus phone. If the manufacture updates the phone any it won't be updated for long and in most cases 3 months later there will be a slightly refreshed version that comes along and goodbye support for the phone you got. I had a Samsung Vibrant well you know that support died when the Galaxy S 4G came out You all know the support on the G2X and I also have a mytouch 4G which is running 2.3.4 just like my G2X which I also don't see it getting updated either to ICS.
As long as I know the phone will have xda support and Dec community support from the manufacturer I'll get it. Like the sensation that thing is fully supported, the HTC Vivid that's on at&t is extremely supported, sh¡+ even the G1 is lol....

I jumped ship to the HTC One S. Besides the pentile screen it can hold its own against the One X, if not beat it at benchmarks and in my opinion just as good as anything Samsung is releasing. I love the overall build quality and feel of the One S and the 16gb storage is more than enough for me. I tried to love my G2x, I was even convinced that it was the best phone out there but the software/hardware issues finally got to me.

Yeah, give it a bit more time than a week... That's hardly giving it a chance. Besides, there is no other super qwerty model out there atm. Comparing this to the Note or SGSIII is difficult because it isn't really in the same category. This device has around the same power as the Note but the SGSIII has a newer style processor that puts it in a different league. If you really love qwertys, then THIS is the device for you but if you could care less about a keyboard... then go for the SGSIII. Either way, you should give it a little more time before judgment. Good luck!

You didn't try before buying? That seems to be your Mistake #1.
I will only buy QWERTY phones unless I have no choice. I'm looking at what the G3 looks like or what the next round of specs the Sidekick line brings. The problem with cell phones nowadays is you don't know what's coming out until a month or two before release.

If I were getting a new phone, I would prefer a Nexus model. But the GNex doesn't have microSD so I'm concerned about that. I like being able to use SD cards, and also put in an optional battery. I hope the new trend isn't to go like Apple and make the phone completely sealed, with no additional storage or battery options. That would suck.

Craigslist is where I buy/sell/swap, so its no loss. I don't sign contracts for phones.
as much as I love the g2's keyboard, I can live without just fine if the on screen is ics.
