Ok guys i'm wondering what would be the best phone you could purchase for approx £10 that would represent very good bang for buck in terms of CPU speed and Memory.. in order to give it a revamp with a nice custom rom and then resell.
I'm talking about HTC Desire C, Sony Xperia x8
The Oldies from 2011 about.

I am planning to buy either one of the phones which one would you guys suggest
thanks in advance
ATOM!!!!
better CPU, BETTER SCREEN.
great response by the device.
i had KJAM (the same as jammin) it is SLOWW.
go for the atom.
Nadavi.
Atom...
Better Processor. Built-in FM radio.
What more can you ask...
(O.T.) Eten-M600...
do they sell atom in dubai
I was in dubai just last week and the Atom is available at almost all the leading Electronic shops like Jacky's, Jumbo, Plug-in's etc. Couldn't find any accessories for the Atom though since they claim the product was just launched and it would be a while until the accessories started coming in! I think the phone was priced around AED2700! Good price! seriously! Go for it!
Now Ive finally sold my Prophet and lookin for a new HTC Device, which is better than Prophet
I bought a Wizard but sold it to a friend as I wasnt impressed.
Now I have a choice to make, my budget being Pak Rs. 12,000 (US$ 150 approx), I can buy Atom or Universal but im consfused
Looking forward to members who have used wither 1 or both of these devices to guide me which one is the better choice.
(You may also advise any other HTC device which is available in the same price range)
Ill be very grateful to those who spare their time and help me out
Regards
Okay, im an Atom Life owner and i must say Atoms are very high performance devices but have one crucial flaw.. poor battery life compared to other devices. They also come with a couple of useful apps from O2 and are rather sturdy to be completely honest.
the universal on the other hand.. Wiki
To be honest, its all personal preference.. if you want the full keyboard, go with the Universal.. if you want just a pure touchscreen, you would get an Atom..
Ive already bought an atom, without knowing about its poor battery time
Shame to hear that...
As a happy Universal owner I dare to say that Uni is one of the best HTC devices ever build
lol ive got the battery issues as well.. i bought a Mugen 1800mAh battery and i use power saving mode.. lasts a couple of days of use
I see we are to late, but I would have recommended the Universal!
hehe.. another "what is better" question
I currently have both phones and trying to decide which one to sell. I am leaning more towards selling the Desire Z, but not really sure. The main reason I would have for keeping the Desire Z would be because of being able to use to $10 unlimited plan. I don't really use to keyboard, but it's nice to have. However it's looking like ATT has made the effort in having highend Android phones since the iPhone is on Verizon too. Meaning I eventually would have to pay more for a data plan because of other ATT Android phones that will be available throughout the yr. I usually keep phones on average for 4 months or until a better one comes out. Here are the advantages I have when comparing both phones. I always root every Android phone I have owned so SW and performance is similar between the two.
Desire Z A7275:
- Keyboard
- Trackpad
- Can use $10 unlimited Data Plan
- Ease of Access for Battery
- Less People will have in the US
- Better Build
- Camera Button
HTC Inspire A9192:
- Larger Screen
- Feels Slightly Lighter, less bulky
- Lower Price if buying outright($430 w/tax in DFW area)
- Slightly better Battery
- 4G Capable....soon
- Can send for warranty in US
- Better location of USB port
i was tempted to sell my inspire once i got it...not because i was displeased at all, but because they were going for upwards of 500 on ebay and i got mine for 99 with an upgrade.
check completed listings in ebay and see which phone is bringing more money, maybe that will help sway you one way or the other?
I had the Desire Z and was ok with it but did not like the hinge system a little flimsy and was not that tight. The screen was good and I liked the build but nothing can beat the size of the Inspire screen. I sold my Desire Z and my Desire both on E-bay to get this phone.
I thought long and hard about it but in the end it came down to how well the screen size is easy to read with old eye's. The unlimited data was nice and in the end I lost it but I really do not miss it that much and it was not that much of a factor in getting this phone.The track pad on the Z was a joke to me, my Desire trackpad was better than the Z.
Battery access on the Impression is not bad at all I have had no problems with it at all. In the end it comes down to what you want to spend you money on, for me it was the Inspire AKA Desire HD.

What they are selling for on e-bay is no indication, it took me three times to sell my Desire Z and in the end I only got $450.00 for it which sucks considering I spent $650.00 to get it from Canada only three weeks before I sold it.
To the OP you would probably get more out of selling your iphone than selling the Z!!!
this is a no brainer for me! i cant go back to screen less than 4.3!!
i can exchange my inspire for atrix with dual core. but i think bigger screen is more important to me than dual core.
After seeing what they are selling that Motorola for all I can say is forget it there is NO motorola worth that much and that processor is going to eat batteries like candy!!!!
Desire Z all the way!
I have both phones (among others) and I honestly believe the desire Z is the best phone I’ve ever had.
I love the inspire and its large screen but the build quality of the desire Z seems higher, its battery life is better and the track pad and keyboard seal the deal. The hinge while odd at first works brilliantly and after using the onscreen keyboard again I’m double sold on the hardware keyboard. Granted until I spent 2 week with WP7 on an HD2 I thought the htc touch keyboard was the best but now it’s the low point of the phone.
Of course I use my phone for business and travel so I make a lot of use of the keyboard. Of course it is fun to bring out the inspire in front of my iphone toting friends and have them ask about the screen and widgets
I don't think you can get even 3G with Desire Z. Desire Z works on HSPA/WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz but ATT runs 850/1900 MHz (soon 850 only)
Edge is way too slow for me...
Mine bad, Canada version of Desire Z do works on HSPA/WCDMA (850/1900 MHz). I was looking at the Euro version b4. Sorry.

Everyone who is using the Desire Z with ATT 3G is using the Unlocked Bell version(A7275). This came out back in October of last yr. The tmo and Euro version(A7272) doesn't work on ATT 3G
Hi, i want to buy a tablet this weekend and i have difficult to choose what should i buy..
The archos g9 80 is more portable, more cheaper and the OMAP processor is faster than tegra 2...
But Sony S have a better screen, better construction etc..
What should i choose and why? Please give me some advices
Thanks
i would go with the sony, more brand, more developing time...your choice. you get what you pay for remember.
good luck.
I just bought the Sony S, and is really cool
Removed original message...
EDIT: Just saw that you bought the Sony. I need some sleep. haha Glad you like it so far.
I'm moving from a Google Nexus S (bought one and an half year ago). I would like to buy a Sony from the Xperia series, but I have a limited budget: around 250 and 300 euros. Wich one do you think I should buy?
EDIT: Is the Gnex a good buy right now? What about Lumia 800?

First of all, the materials and their forms! And, if only I decide to buy a Samsung, I don't know wich one..
I'm just attracted by the Xperia series, but If I can find a Galaxy Nexus at around 200-220 euros I'll buy it! I saw the nice Xperia U that is a great phone compared to his price here in Italy..Or I could just wait some time and buy a Xperia S..
EDIT: wrong Xperia (changed from Z to S)

I do like the look of the newer Sony devices, I just worry that they won't get the developer following that Samsung phones have. Wait for MWC and see if Samsung announces the Galaxy S4, it's only a short time away and you see something other than either of those that you like.
Gnex for the win, nothing but butter !

Yeah I like the Gnex too, but I'm a bit afraid that it is already considered "old". Is it a good buy right now?
What about a Lumia800? at 200-230 euros?
Samsung galaxy s3 mini or nexus..Both are great :laugh:

Maybe Sony Xperia P? It has aluminium unibody case, bright display, dual-core processor and 1GB of RAM. It is also quite compact because of "only" 4'' display.
I think that they are all good devices (exept for the galaxy s3 mini..I can't stand it), I LOVE the design of the xperia P and I also really wish to get another Nexus device (in my country the Nexus 4 is not sold,, :S) so everything depends upon their cost..I'll wait a sale and I'll get the best offer!!
You might also want to consider Samsung Galaxy Ace 2. It's cheaper than Xperia P (but also made from worse materials) but it has similar specs and unlike Xperia it also has microSD slot and removable battery.
the 2011 xperias are cheap and has great dev support, i recommend the xperia ray with a 300 ppi screen and a 8 mp camera, best bang for your buck imo
Ok guys I'll just buy what fits best my personality (and my pocket ), buyt Gnex is #1 now.
Thanks All!
try chinese like meizu, very good phones and cheap

get the nexus 4
or save your money for the galaxy s 4
My friend's google nexus has not only been a great performer, it has proven to be extremely durable. As he drops it A LOT and it still works like the day he bought it.
