On your list I would pick the desire or the nexus 7

Nexus 7, Galaxy Nexus, or even Nexus One.
The Nexus line has and continues to have great developer support outside of Google. They're great for what you want to do.

so the captivate overall yeah?
Go with a Nexus device. Either a Nexus 7 or Galaxy Nexus. Since the goal is to learn about Android, those are your best bets. Having a Nexus device gives you the ability to compile the Android code yourself and flash it to your phone.
what so special?

What one should I get the new nexus phone or the SGS 2 or the SGS 2 skyrocket and why was your reason for the one you chose?
Nexus, skyrocket is showing pretty bad reception to other devices during tests with pcmag.
When does nexus come out? Or has it already
Sent from my SGH-I897 using Tapatalk
Nexus was never announced for ATT. I just upgraded to a SGSII.
I've heard that the Galaxy Nexus is only going to be carrier subsidized on Verizon.
I wouldn't get either. I'm avoiding Samsung for the foreseeable future.
I'm going for the Galaxy S3 have you seem the specs on that device?

Thinking the same thing here if AT&T doesn't get the Nexus I'm going to just wait. If the rumored specs are true it's going to be a beast.

[Thread Resolved]
In the end, I went with the Nexus as it has much better software, development and update speed...
Sorry about making another thread on this.
But, I'm looking for a 24 month contract under £15 a month with little upfront fee, up to £100. I was on Pay as You Go before. I just wanted to know what is the best at that price? At the moment, I'm looking at the HTC One X, Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy Note. Which one would you recommend? Or should I get something else? The phone needs to last for 2 years. Thanks for the help.

Go with Galaxy Nexus. Fast as hell with new Jelly Bean and also it's a really developer/hacker friendly phone

I don't think note will get jelly bean or next version of android. Also I find Nexus to have more developer support. Also Gnex has pure Android which looks beautiful

The real question is getting the latest update important to you. If it is go with a nexus, if not go with the phone that suites your needs now. Just don't expect your phone to be updated to the latest software when going with a skinned phone.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
If development and long term support is your biggest option.
100% no doubt, go with the Nexus.
The Note is a close second because it has decent development but updates are a bit slower.
I'd leave the Sensation in the dust.

I would have to say "not the Sensation XL". I had a Sensation and it's a heavy pocket mirror. And there aren't too many roms available for them. In the end I'll have to recommend buying a phone because you like the design, not because of the specs. You're not going to enjoy a phone that has a slightly faster CPU if you don't like how it looks.
I've pretty much eliminated the Sensation.
But which CPU and GPU is better? The one in the Note or the Nexus? I would prefer better development but it's not a big issue. I wouldn't be installing ROMs until the phone gets old. Hardware-wise which is the better phone? And will both last the next two years? I know the Nexus will, but will the Note? Thanks for all the help.

Specs are better in note for sure. But even though note has better spec, I find Nexus to be smoother with the jelly bean update.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
I also second the suggestion to get a Nexus. It gives you the best Android Experience (fast updates from Google, huge developer community) .
The HTC HD2 is still very expensive because it is very popular among developers I guess this might be the case with the Nexus too. So if you want to sell it in the future it won't be completely worthless by that time. Just my thoughts.
If you want an Android phone go directly with Galaxy Nexus, but if you have much money you can buy an iPhone 4s
I think galaxy nexus or galaxy S3
I was going for the Nexus but then I saw this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1510755. What do you guys think about this?

Nexus 7 because of newer features.
Nexus 7
Nexus 7 for having better processor.
iPad 3 for bigger screen.
Nexus 7 if you want Android updates that bring better features.
I have a Galaxy Tab 10.1 and it's still on Android 3.2 honeycomb.
It's one of the reasons that I bought this nexus. My future android devices will all be nexus.

If you dont mind having a smaller screen go for the nexus 7 i have a galaxy tab but its really slow also nexus 7 has jellybean and will recieve future updates before the galaxy tab (if they ever get an update) i really hope google makes a 10.1" version of the nexus, hope i helped
TY
Thanx for your reply guyzz!
I will definitely go for n7!

hi jainkashish96! for me is nexus 7 for same reasons of choosing galaxy nexus. it's google's "official" tablet, full support, fresh updates with no long waiting, no limitation caused by other company and olso an nvidia kay! i think Kay is one of the best idea for mobile world, especially for tablets . don't forget the dimension, perfect for me, a good compromise.
Nexus 7 for sure Go for it
take a look at this, http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/28/nexus-7-review/ and keep in mind function like google now that is million times better than s-voice that personally consider an app/service that samsung had to add for upcoming voice assistant services, but is only a s**** app on a device, badly developed
interessant question i have the same problem do you want hel pme please?

It depends on your budget. If you've got a fairly large budget and looking to get a fairly new phone with great features and future support and updates then I'd either go with the Samsung Galaxy S3, Galaxy Nexus, or the new Nexus 4. I have the Nexus S and it runs great, recently updated it to 4.1.2 Jellybean.
Remember it's all about your budget and if you're the type of person who likes to flash ROM's and whatnot.
Hope that helped,

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.
