Hey guys,
So I had my Skyrocket now for some time (still love it), AT&T just came out with an offer where you can get pretty much any of their phones $199 and below for 50% off. So S4, Note2 and HTC One are only $100, not bad right?!?!
Now the question is if you guys could pick which one would you guys for and why? I like all 3, size is not an issue. Hope I could get some feedback to make a choice. Thanks.
Probably should have stuck this in the next phone thread but wouldn't the note2 be 150 since its 300? Unless it dropped in price. Personally tho, I'd say s4. I'm sure spitfire will stop in and say get the One because its the most amazing phone in the world . But really, go with what suits your needs. Or if you still dig the rocket and it does what you need, save your money.

HTC One
Design that never fails to excite me, kind of excitement that I get when buy a brand new phone.
Sent from my HTC One
Totally sorry, did not see the next phone thread.
The Note 2 is $199 on AT&T. So it will be $100. The only thing I really like about the Note 2 is the battery life.
So it's basically between the HTC One and S4.
I would be getting it as a bday gift, so I'm lucky in this situation.

I second vote for S4, coming from a rocket the transition will be almost non-existant
HTC one. Soon it will have the ge edition come out and you can flash that and have the best software on the best hardware.

If it's gonna be the same software, why would you go with plastic over aluminum? Plus ours will be cross-flashable with sense and vanilla and the s4 wont be.

Why would you want a 4 Megapixel camera that is no longer software optimized for it (by HTC's proprietary software)? That said, the S4 does feel pretty flimsy and fragile, in my limited experience with it.
Man, I called that.. Lol

At the end of the day Samsung's always have a better Dev following, how important that is is up to u.
I will again greatly endorse the S4, especially Dev edition if u can spring for it.
Yeah, I really like the HTC One A LOT! The only thing is that I know the Devs for Samsung are amazing, just look at our Skyrockets still being able to stick around with the S3/4. I dont know how the HTC One Devs will be, I havent really gone around their Forums yet.
However, I'm sure they have to be a few great Devs there working on it, esp with vanilla Android coming out for the HTC One coming out.
Thank you guys for your inputs, helped me think of some important factors that I missed out on.
The devs are great over there. They love the device and there is a nice selection of good roms over there.

As the title says I am on my fourth HTC one x and getting tired of the bugs and screen defects I have had with the phone. How much of a difference would the SGS2 skyrocket be? Should I get another one x or go the skyrocket route?

I would suggest going to a skyrocket if you are having this kind of luck. The skyrocket may have a slightly different processor. But still 1.5ghz. Skyrocket is still running 2.3.5 out of the box but there are solutions for 4.0.4 already in this forum. Can somebody correct where I'm wrong please.

Don't downgrade. The One X is a beautiful device.
The One X will have much better dev support and will actually get Jelly Bean, unlike us.

How's the battery life on the USGS2 skyrocket? Will it get an official CIS update?

Should stay on one X. The S4 processor is much more better den the S3 processor in the skyrocket. And S3 indeed, outdated

hey there, i'm looking for a new phone, i only want to spend in between €100/€210, are there any good smartphones in that price range, i was thinking about the HTC HD2, but i dont know if thats a good choice, and i have the galaxy s1.
thanks for your time

What do you want in the phone?
Camera, front facing? CPU? Screen size? Good development? Etc...
Mainly, I'm also wondering off contract or on contract... and new or used?
The HD2 is not a bump specs wise from your Galaxy S, but it has amazing development. It can run WM6.5, WP7, Android 4.0, MeeGo, and something else too I forgot.

OK well... I don't know much about availability of phones in countries outside the US... but there are definitely some worthy upgrades in that range (in USD its 122-250).
I can offer a big list of used phones in that price range, but I don't know if the sellers on eBay ship to the Netherlands. Hmm.

there are loads of phones here, but not second handed, so theyre all really expensive, and i could get one from ebay :3

Here are the phones in that price range, used on eBay. The problem is, I don't know about availability in the Netherlands.

Motorola Atrix 2
Samsung Captivate Glide
LG Thrill 4G
LG G2X (Optimus 2X)
LG Nitro HD
HTC Sensation
HTC Mytouch 4G Slide
And the single core phones that are upgrades from the Galaxy S
HTC Inspire 4G (Desire HD)
Samsung Infuse 4G
I also went onto the eBay app using the Netherlands country code, and I found some used GS2s slightly above €210, but they still had an hour or so on them so they were bound to go higher.

The HTC HD2 is great if you are interested in ROMs, dual booting, modding, etc. Otherwise, the Sensation is the best overall in that price range. The HTC HD2 will last at least a year due to the huge dev community but the Sensation is vastly better on specs.
Get the galaxy s3. It is an amazing phone. I loved my gs2. And this is like a hdtv compared to a b&w white one. I love all the features and the screen size. Check it out when u have time

Lol I believe HTC has quite a bit more to work with as far as the user interface goes for their Sense UI than Samsung does with TouchWiz.
It's going to take them longer to integrate Sense with JB.
Touchwiz has come a long way. I pretty sure sense is built for jb already, and I can understand op's request especially since the one s came out months before the gs iii iirc

HTC has dropped the ball for a while now I'm amazed (no pun intended) that the amaze ever got an official ics honestly... And I'm shocked how Samsung has stepped up, back in my original sgs days I was pissed it took an extra 6 months+ for us to get a froyo (which was a very important update) than the HTC phones released around the same time.

I realize that. It was actually $574 shipped through them. Once I sell this phone I'll make up most of that. I'm sure for the people who buy on contract a way will be found to by pass the block on htcdev once it goes into effect. This forum is awesome for that.
Alright, heres another thread with a common topic. Here it goes, I currently own and dev for the SGH-I777 Galaxy S2. I love the phone, but I need a change. Tomorrow, I'm due for an upgrade. I'm leaning towards the HTC one for ATT. What's your opinion?
