What about HTC G2 Titanium?

New Phone...
Well I just bought the Nokia 920 and it's amazing... much better than the Iphone but not the nexus 4 so I suggest the nexus

N 4
definitely nexus 4. the nexus phones are always pure android, no manufacturer skins or bloatware or other bull****

[Resolved] Samsung Nexus S or T-Mobile G2?

So I currently have the HTC T-Mobile G2/Vision and I'm looking to sell this to buy the Samsung Nexus S.. should I or shouldn't I? And why? ..
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I guess if you are going to be doing some android hacking then maybe the Nexus S is the better choice. But there is nothing wrong with the G2 from what I've seen - I think it's a pretty nice phone.

what android phone do u think has the most dev's

just asking because I'm needing an new back up phone.
I'd assume Nexus ones.
Galaxy s and Nexus s as far as i know. Correct me if I'm wrong.
S2 as well, but Nexus is the only true dev-open phone.
well not the t-mobile ssgs2
i have the Samsung galaxy 2 and there noo great roms i am using beast mod 4..2 i like beast mod but i am looking for a back up phone that is well dev'ed so i can have a stable more problem free phone i would like to get a droid 2 global or a my side kick 4g
p.s witch phone is better side kick or droid 2 global
if you really like to taste a lot of roms and have the latest builds i think ill choose somethink like nexus s or galaxy nexus, they are google phones, so they will get the latest updates.
Hmmm the best is the HTC HD2. It get everything fast

I don't know that quantity is better then quality. ROMS for thunderbolt seem as solid as the phone itself.
HTC Thunderbolt running MIUI
EVO has a lot of roms and good quality ones

Agreed with nightcrawler, solid roms there as well.

New phone suggestions

Hi folks,
I have been using my HTC desire s for the past 1 Year and em feeling a lot intimate with it. recently my screen got cracked and so I plan on getting a new mobile, after a big walk around the forums I found HTC sensation and Galaxy s2 are the ones having a good feedback and also fits my budget. Now em in a duo of which one to select I like htc sense ui a lot but Samsung is well known for its source code release stuff (I'm a flashalcholic). Please suggest me a good mobile my budget is 400 to 450 usd (max 25000 INR)

EVO
I'm a lil baised but the EVO 3D or the 4G LTE seem really good but I've also heard the Samsung Galaxy S2 or S3 are both great devices and all of those are in your price range.
Ive had the htc sensation and the galaxy s3 not the s2 but me personally i would go with the samsung galaxy s2 seems to be alot of development for both phones but the s2 being more popular would have more devolopment with newer roms in the future i would think. Plus the screen on the galaxy is s2 is better then the sensation in my opinion
HTC One X
Sensation and S2 are both old phones. Or a Galaxy Nexus, much cheaper choice.

Yes just for dev community I have prioritized s2 but build quality of it is not that much to the par

go for galaxy s2 its still one of the best smartphone & many roms are available for it
I would go with Galaxy S2... HTC sensation is also a good phone and u would not be dissapionted after buying it... but s2 has great future for developments and its one of the most popular phones out in market..
Samsung galaxy nexus is the best dualcore quality-price. Buy it.
Galaxy nexus all the way buy it!

Why not galaxy nexus? It's in your budget, actually cheaper. And probably better than HTC sensation or Samsung galaxy s 3

I just compared Galaxy s2 and s3 and I can say that the new Galaxy s3 very sensitive sensors. Highly recommended!
Govern. ningeve
Galaxy Nexus. You will have much better and prolonged support with it.
S3 as it is one of the best devices at the moment with very strong spcs. However galaxy nexus is also a very strong device. It like i9100. ( little weaker) but as it from google sources, it 'll get every new software update. Don't forget that nexus s has jellybean 4.1 and galaxy s (i9000,9001,9003,9030) gingerbread 2.3.6!!!!!!!

When you say best wouldn't that be a matter of opinion? I've been enjoying my Nexus S 4G quiet a bit and I've tried a lot of the newer phones (S3, Galaxy Nexus, etc...) But keep coming back to my NS4G as for tablet no clue but the Nexus 10 looks awesome x)

Opinion?
As it was asked earlier, This sound like an opinion question. But I do like facts and more information before recommending a device. However as far as overall "Android" device, I would say that is the Nexus line because of the heritage and Options/Customization.
if you talk about customization and numbers of roms made for it HTC HD2 and SGS-1 are best.
I think best tablet spec wise is the Nexus 10. The best phone is a dual between Nexus 4 and Samsung Galaxy S3.
My Nexus 10 is cooler than yours.

Yea I have to agree, the note 2 is pretty amazing.

Who here only buys Nexus phones?

The nexus 4 is my first nexus phone and won't be the last. And to be honest I don't think I'll buy anything else but nexus phones from here on. All these other android phones are terrible with bloat and ugly ui skins.

I've had the Galaxy Nexus and the N4 and will never get a non Nexus again
Nexus⁴
Me and my wife both own the Galaxy Nexus, and my son has a Nexus 7. Nothing but Nexus in my house. Always first for OTA's and pure, unadulterated ANDROID...
Galaxy Nexus rockin' AOKP MR1 Build 3 w/ Franco 364.....
Hello,
I only buy Nexus phone, first the Nexus One (live long and prosper), and now the Galaxy Nexus.
Usually they have the best support, good hardware and good price.
the 3 things I consider the most important.
Nexus 7 and 10 here.. Waiting for my Samsung phone to die so I can get a Nexus phone.
Strongly considered the 4, but the non-removable battery and lack of microSD support killed any chance of me owning one.
I got my s3... but really want a nexus now.. I just wish they had expandable memory. Sure a removable battery would be nice, but the memory is the bigger need of the two.. I think Google does that so you use their cloud services.

Look it up. :trooper:
Currently still in my nexus s and ill change to the n4 in july!
Ill never get a non-nexus! ;D
I have an s3 right now...but in the future I will only buy nexus phones, because of good developer support and AOSP.

I do love the look of the Nexus phones, but no micro-sd means I won't buy one, it just tells the manufacturers they can get away with hampering us, so unless Google ever puts expandable storage on, I'll never buy a Nexus device. Flashing another phone to something aosp based is really easy, so Nexus goodness without the drawback
I use a Tab 2 7.0 as a giant phone thats also a tablet aka phablet
I sure hope by the time this thing breaks, Nexus 7 will have proper phablet support, or, there will be a 5" nexus phone.
Have a Galaxy Nexus and a Nexus 7 : Completely Filled ! <3
I think as you all! Better Android stok that have all those changes that slow down devices
My n4 is my first nexus, but I probably won't be getting the next nexus if the continue to skip important features for me like lte, microsd and a larger battery. I actually haven't been so dissatisfied with a phone before.
