And What's funny is the fact that all of this technology already exists. Its just a matter of getting it altogether in the same device.

Leo!
My dream device would be the one who is capable of running WM.Android and WP7 to my like
Why have only 1 OS if you can have 3!

Xolo X900

Hi,
According to many websites the Xolo X900 is excepted to be released really soon on Indian market (rumored for as early as tomorrow).
This along with the Lenovo K800 are the first Android devices w/ Intel chipsets.
Official Specs:
Processor: 1.6 GHz Intel Atom
OS: Android 2.3 Gingerbread (Upgradable to ICS)
RAM: 1 GB
Screen: 4.03'' (LCD 1024 x 600)
Camera: 8 MP with Flash
Front Camera: 1.3 MP
Internal Storage: 16 GB
Dimensions: 123 x 63 x 10.99 mm
HDMI TV out: Yes
NFC: Yes
Engadget review: http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/27/intels-xolo-x900-by-lava-hands-on/
I'm trying to understand where this device stands comparing to other new devices announced at MWC 12.
Only single core but it's Intel and I don't think we have comparison data between this and the different ARM processors.
Screen smaller than the current trend of minimum 4.3''.
Intel promise good battery life and everything else seems quite good so I assume mid-range class but I have no idea if it has the quality of other devices in this category like the HTC One S or Xperia P.
Would love to hear opinions about this device.
As an added question,
Would you suffice with such device or go with HTC One X? (assuming budget is not an issue).

Sounds like it has a lot of promise!

I heard the price was about Rs.22000(apx.$440). For a single core processor i think its too much when we can get a dual core for about the same price.

may be,
But guys, lava promised that this will have an ICS update soon, and all mobiles out which have dual core, do you think they are actually necessary. There are many battery dragging features in dual core. And Here, No more ARM you are getting a processor created buy Intel with 1.6MHZ Where you get 2Mhz processor provided by lg recently.( commoon intel is Legend in PC core processors), they promised that you will have the best charging life than any other mobile out in market. May be cost is bit high, but I think 18k is enough for this mobile. Which is already available.

Europe version
It will have an europe version with Orange, called Orange Santa Clara

Today i have received a package from one of our custumers and Xolo X900 was inside ;-) .... till monday i have to compare this phone with the iPhone 4s and Samsung Galaxy SIII ... i will post then some pics and facts...
It really looks nice, but with the 4 touch buttons and the hole in the display it not really seens to be up to date...
More in a few days...

Orange San Diego is Intel. Its £200... Not sure in India a I'm not Indian...

Orange San Diego and Intel XOLO X900 both are same except for the firmware. Orange San Diego have generic GB with Orange branding. XOLO doesn't have any branding. There is another sibling to this device in Russia. I don't remember what they call it.

If this is the price on offer, then surely this handset would not have an impact in the Indian market..
Seems overpriced

recomendations? Hero 2000+

Hi, I am familiar with this forum but I have never posted anything. Ok anyways I just ordered a Chinese knockoff phone called the Hero 2000+ of the Iphone 5, it comes as an android os instead of the ios. The reason I ordered this was to experiement with it, plus I like how the Iphone looks but dont care for the IOS. So I know MIUI makes a custom rom with an Iphone theme, so my question is can this be installed in a chinese knockoff? I would love to have the best of both worlds.
they sell this phone on android-sale
I cant put a link up because im a new user but here are the specs.
Short Description

- 512MB RAM / 4GB ROM

well since the moto g is out of the picture, i think one of the many BLU phones would be good for you, i have heard good and bad reports about the battery, most of them have 1g or higher gigs of RAM, its seems that lots of their devices (even with small screens) have a great cpu clocked at 1.5ghz dual core or bigger, i think most of their phones are 4.2 and up. lots of choices with 4.5" and up. as for development support, i think they only have root.

Thanks for the recommendation. Though, I have heard of the blu phone series (life, studio, etc.) but there are many negative reviews on them and the ones that are mostly positive are supposedly framed. So, from what I heard was that some of these BLU labelled phones come DOA, other complaints relate to dead pixels, insta-brick (after a week or so of moderate to heavy usage), unresponsive touchscreens, and of course as you stated, battery life.

I was stuck in the exactly same position. But I also needed a removable battery and an external micro SD card slot. So the moto g was not a good candidate. I ended up going with the optimus f7. It has specs similar to gs3. You should check out the reviews and see what you think.

Ahhh yes, I forgot to include external microsd expansion capabilities. Oh yes and thanks, the F7 may not have good dev support but I guess root access is all I need. All I'm really planning to install is Su, viperfx, and some closed modules. Also btw is it possible to skip the boost mobile activation process?

[Q] Best Mid-Range Devices With Great Dev Support?

I'm currently searching for a new mid-range device but I am having trouble finding a great device with dev support. I was hoping that the fine people of this forum will assist me in this search.
My preferences:
- 5.0 - 5.5in screen (5.5 is generally preferred)
- At least a quad-core Snap Dragon 400 processor or equivalent (even higher if available)
- At least a 720P screen with over 240 DPI
- Custom Lolipop Roms (not a lot, just a stable one.)
- Can be found new on Amazon for $200 - $300
- Nice UI
- Great Battery Life
I know I am asking a lot here, but any help will be appreciated!

I have the LG L90 which I feel is a midrange device at a decent price. Dev activity for this phone is booming.
I got it from T-Mobile for $55. Battery lasts all day (2540 mAh I believe). IR blaster, 720P recording on rear camera. Only thing is, the screen is about 4.7 inches or so and the resolution is only qHD. However, the screen still looks great.
EDIT: MORE SPECS!!!
Qualcomm MSM8226 Snapdragon 400 chipset, Quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU, Adreno 305 GPU, SD card slot, 8GB internal storage, Corning Gorilla Glass 2, Bluetooth 4.0. There are 3 variants: D405, 410, 415. D415 is the variant T-Mobile sells. D405 has slightly better specs with an 8MP and 1080p camera, and FM Radio with RDS. Not sure about D410. Currently there are Lollipop ROMs for D405 and D415, might be one for D410 as well.
