The old nexus? I'm guessing you need a new phone quick if you're not willing to wait for the nexus 4

the nexus 4 has 16 gb and no sd card its not enough for me

I dont have experience with Sony but since they won OEM of the year award I'd have to say they are doing pretty good. I'm sure there are great sony phones too, just look into it. Maybe someone who has a Sony phone answer better than I can.

Press Thanks On Getting Helped
IMO GOOGLE NEXUS 4 is the best choice.
Because its from Google.
I think SportX J2 is a nice choice.It is Water Proof and its cup is Qualcomm msm7227 800MHZ.I want to buy one but it is a little expensive.It costs $589.59....
NEXUS 4 costs 560$ (in my country) and it has only 16 gb
and SportX J2 is way out of the budget and wont run the ubuntu os in the future
but thx for the help, i thing that i'll just wait 2 months for the new lineup of phones from the CES so the prices will drop a bit more on the other models
Get a nexus 4 anyways.
I would suggest you wait for this year's lineup of smartphones

Weird !
The Skyrocket HD seems to have been taken off AT&T's device info list????
Any one else knows anything more???
Was going to buy it !! So am desperate for info !!
Thanks.
I would say they are saving that space for the sgs3. They already have an HD phone with similar specs to the skyrocket HD. The one X probably took it's place.

The top of the line At&t phone right now in terms of performance is the HtC One X.
8960 1.5ghz dual core with andreno 225 graphics. Faster than anything out right now. But it has some major drawbacks.

Best phone spec wise, even the one x is really only similar. Until the s3 is released. Even in Rogers skyrocket is listed as the most expensive phone, the one x is $20 cheaper

People are buying that phone like crazy regardless of the sealed battery.

Haha. I love the HTC One X. I don't care that it's sealed. I don't replace my battery anyways. And I have 16 GB onboard storage with 16 GB microSD. Can't fill it up no matter what I do. And the One X is just... beautiful...

The built in 16gb of memory, is probably a micro SD card built into it. There have been other phones in the past that have done this.

I saw somewhere the sr hd was going to be exclusive to bell in canada. Might explain why its off atts list.
Sent from low Earth orbit with my Skyrocket.
I played with the One X and it "feels" much better than the skyrocket does in my opinion. I'm probably going to get it next week and let my wife use my skyrocket. Of course this depends on what Samsung announces tomorrow. If the AT&T S3 has the same screen as the galaxy nexus and the same Snapdragon S4 SoC as the One X then i would take the One X over it because the screen on the One X is the best screen i've ever seen on a mobile phone period. I also found that even the demo units in AT&T stores performed much better than my skyrocket tweaked out at it's best. I *hope* the Galaxy S3 comes with a better screen than the galaxy nexus plus expandable memory, etc. I also hope it's as sexy as the One X. but most importantly I hope it comes out relatively soon cause I don't want to wait 4 months for the AT&T version to come out. rather just get the One X.
Either way I upgrade phones every 6-9 months anyway.
edit: Also want to add that the camera on the One X is REALLY nice. it matters to some people but not to others.
I advise anyone who hasn't to check out AnandTech's THOROUGH review of the AT&T One X at http://www.anandtech.com/show/5779/htc-one-x-for-att-review/1

Maybe I'm just ignorant because I've only had devices with removable batteries, but this seems to be a major problem for me.
I'm a habitual rom flasher, so I know boot loops happen (sometimes quite often). How does one completely turn the phone off if you can't pull the battery? Or what else do you do?

Hello XDA,
I am having a hard time deciding between this Tablet and the Nexus 7. what are your thoughts. How do you like this device? Thanks All in advance.
Already got my Tab 2 on CM10 so the Nexus 7 16gb is not that tempting as a purchase! But if I was in the market to replace, would go for the Nexus 7! But would hold off as word is that the 16gb is being replaced by a 32gb model for the same price! Like the Nexus range! Pure Google! Pure Android! No waiting a year for updates! Looking forward to upgrading my Galaxy Nexus to the new LG Nexus 4! My tab will follow suite if the 32gb rumours are true!

I chose the GTab2 7.0 because I insisted on an external microSD card and wanted the back mounted camera. But the Nexus 7 is, by most accounts, faster with higher resolution and has plain Jelly Bean. All depends on what is important to you. I went to some stores and tried them. I'm happy with what I got.

Not to mention the ability to slip in a 3G sim card and use the GTab2 7.0 (P3100) as a cell phone! That was the deciding factor for me...

I chose the Tab 2 7.0 due to 3G and rear camera. "Pure Google" is less important for me, as the Tab 2 is proving popular enough to have CM10 and AOKP support. (I use AOKP.) My Tab 2 is also my first Android device, so when I get to know Android better, maybe I would go for something higher end or an Android phone. (I got a ThinkPad Tablet after I got the Tab 2, but I'm not sure how good it is since I got it for free, and all I did was power it up and upgrade it from 3.1 to 4.0.3.)
I also bought a 32GB MicroSD card to put in my Tab, but it's still in the packaging since I don't really do a lot of video watching or anything that needs so much memory. :silly:
tab2 7.0
just got tab2 and its far more useful in daily usage than nexus7. that camera and samsung appls makes a huge difference.
Reason #1: N7 isnt available in my country (IN)
But I could buy online for 16-17k INR, instead I got tab 2 for 19.2
Reason #2: 3G!
Makes all the difference in the world.
Hi
I'm planning to move on from my SGS 2 to a newer model.. but I'm not able to make up my mind.
I'm interested in the 4G SGS 3 though I've been thinking about the next nexus phone from LG or the upcoming HTC One X+...
My current phone is working perfectly fine but I'm looking for a phone with more speed as well as with 4G/LTE..
Should I wait it out for early next year to have better choices or should I just go in for the SGS 3?
By the way, Samsung is my preferred manufacturer, followed by HTC.. I've no idea how LG phones are in terms of build quality, support, etc.
Thanks in advance. Cheers.

Thanks.. I like the SGS3 a lot, though it's just so difficult to decide on one phone...
By the way, here in Finland, we have a deal going on for the Galaxy Nexus, with the current price of 370€ (http://www.verkkokauppa.com/fi/s?s=1&q=51397+or+23156) and is valid until next Monday 21.10 and this seems to be the best deal in Finland at the moment. The standard price is ~450€ I think...
Is there any sense is getting the Galaxy Nexus considering there are the newer Nexus devices coming up? In particular HTC “J Butterfly” Nexus 5 (along with the LG Nexus as mentioned previously)?
Thanks again. Cheers...
Edit: Also, regarding the processor, I'm no expert but from the reviews and reports, I see there are the Tegra 3 processors (like the one in HTC One X+) or the Qualcomm 'snapdragon' processors or Exynos processors and similar... Which is the better one? Should I chose a device that comes with a specific processor if I want to have a speedy, fast, high end phone?
And of course, I would like a manufacturer that regularly updates the OS without major delays whenever a new Android is being released...
Well I have the nexus, and that price is very very high. Ofcourse it is new from store but I have my nexus for 275 euro's. Second hand but only 6 month's old. Great phone but if I were you, I should wait for the gs4. Depends on how fast you need a phone, considering the gs4 is coming out in march 2013. If you can't wait I should definately buy the HTC one X+ or the GS3.

Thanks a lot.
I'm not in a real hurry to get a new phone as my current SGS2 is working great (and there is a possibility that JB will arrive soon for the SGS2)... But I just wanted to kind of 'upgrade' from the SGS2 to a more powerful, newer phone... Hence my questions regarding should I really wait (though I understand it's a kind of silly question considering how many new devices keep popping up every month) or just go in for a model such as the SGS3 or HTC One X+ that's been proven to be a great phone....
Basically I can wait for the new one.. I'm looking at having a new one by March/April 2013.
If you can wait just wait Mate, I know your feelings so many new phones but can't choose a good one and every time there is coming a new one out.

Work phone with an exact requirement/feature
Background:
I have just bought a Motorola Defy Plus. The reason I purchased it was - I wanted a phone that could allow me t record work calls and Defy Plus seemed promising as it enjoys good amount of support in the developers here and it was like very cheap. Now when I see the work involved in rooting and flashing custom rom I find myself not too sure about my capability of managing the whole process. Even if I do manage the rooting and flashing the custom rom, I still do not have any definitive information if call recording will be possible
New search:
Given the above now I am exploring any other phones that will allow me to take care of this requirement of recording my calls incoming and outgoing , without speaker, in the stock straight out of the box condition. Besides this particular requirement my usage of the phone is very mundane - some voice calls, minimal texting , little bit of email, no games , minimal camera, once in a while a couple of minutes of music if ever.
So if any of you can give me a suggestion i.e. which phone and which app - if you have a working combo - which will solve my problem shall appreciate it very much.
Cheers
Wait, even if the nexus devices aren't to your liking they are going to drive the price of current devices down. I have the SGS3 but sources / docs for exynos processors are sketchy so support isn't stellar. TBH if support matters go with nexus although you'll have to sacrifice sd support.

I would recommend the G3. You can wait for the next phone to come up but you'll find that there is always a new phone about to be launched so you can wait forever. I've recently transitioned to the g3 and enjoy it very much. Liked it a lot better once I rooted and put a JB rom on it.

So, I'm in the market for a phone soon since UPS lost my Nexus 4 and I put insurance on it. I want something as big as the note but I want all the good stuff on it, SD Card, 1080p and mainly Upgradability. I'm thinking Note 2 or Optimus G Pro. Anything else out there? I'm on Tmobile btw and I like the LTE not HSPA+. My limit is $400

That's a problem since 400$ is quite low nowadays.
Since the new phones cost around the 600$ except the Nexus 5 which is 350$ but doesn't has a SD card Slot.
