This is the most powerful-budget-friendly smartphone right now: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00ECBREB6/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1391376560&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX110_SY165 (and there is also 8GB version available for 120)
If you don't mind a chinease device, I strongly suggest: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00E92JTZM/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1391376881&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX110_SY165
Or the cheaper model: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00CU8MQ7K/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1391376927&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX110_SY165

Nexus S is not available through AT&T.
MRQuad, what's the timeframe for you to make a decision? If you want Android on AT&T, there isn't too much at this moment, but the offerings should get better as we get into 2011.

I would recommend wait for 2 more months. Good phones are lined up for release. But this would be feasible only if u have the option to wait, and picking the phone isn't due immediately.
Anything but samsung.
Assuming you want to stay with at&t. Wait and get the Atrix.
That is if you have the option to wait.

Why not research phones you are interested in and decide from there. You don't need people on the internet to make suggestions for you. Would you ask random strangers what car you should buy?

He should read the forums and see what issues to expect.
+1 on the Atrix
or if you can hold off 4-6 months i would think we will start to see some dual cores with 2.3 out of the box
Atrix.
Or, if you absolutely have to get one now, get a Nexus One.
Hey guys, thanks for the honest response.. Appreciate it very much!
actually, i have the option to replace my fone for 3yrs. As long as there is faulty on it.. Kinda insurance thingy for my fone, but i paid extra for it.. The sales guy says i can change it as long as it's the same provider.. Im from canada by the way.
Ican tell there is faulty on my fone.. Do you think i should wait for two years and replace the fone with a new one?
Thanks again!

That's a good deal. Considering verizon has it for $199.99

Verizon is not the same phone and you need to sign up for two years. I think it is a good deal, but that is me.
"•The unlocked Galaxy Nexus requires GSM compatible service provider for voice calling. In the United States this includes AT&T and T-Mobile. Phones purchased from devices on Google Play are not compatible with Verizon or Sprint."

Maybe you should ask him if he would help first. If he agrees then we might be able to set up another phone fund. Since we just lost are kernel dev it would be great to get another.

Sorry about the thread hijack.

If you guys are still selling your phones, I would recommend putting an ad up on your local craigslist. Before I dove into the root world and unlocked my SG4G to its full potential, I posted an ad up to sell my phone for $200 and got all kinds of offers. This was about two months ago.
Sad to see many people moving away from this phone. Although I do believe it is becoming outdated, I still think its a great phone nonetheless. I'm personally holding onto it because I will be spending a year abroad and have already unlocked it for international use.
Best of luck.
I'm trading for an hd2 and beats!

Well...im happy to say this...buying an infuse soon :)

Mod-this is not a for sale topic, more of a goodbye topic
Well, ive officially decided to sell my infuse , i love this phone but i just want something new...not sure what im gonna ger it depends on how much i end up selling my infuse
I think im gonna miss the infuse community the most...you guys are so helpful and friendly for noobs and those who know a lot...this phone has served me well...and still is a great phone...sadly me teenage brain has gotten bored of it and wants something new tk mess around with...so at best ill have my infuse for a few more days...already been offerd 235 for it...
So with all that said...goodbye infuse community, you will be missed but i will still stop by from time to time...

Best wishes to you as you get your next phone. Have you considered holding on to your Infuse to develop on as you use the next phone as a daily driver? It will be at least another year before I even consider another phone, but when I do, I'll definitely be holding on to the Infuse to tinker on. Just a thought, though I know that $235 is pretty tempting for a high school student.

That's funny, I do the exact opposite. I use my One X for development and my Infuse as my daily driver.

I have been in that road back and fourth after trading my iPhone 4 32g for the Infuse and I do not regret it one bit. I would wait for the Galaxy S3 if i were you unless you have a reason not to. Ex: smaller screen. That is my plan as soon as prices come down a little.
thanks for all that you contributed to the forums man. But, I agree with everyone else up there, keep it. Just to tinker on. Maybe rip it apart and go to town on it you know.
Hopefully I'll be seeing you in the NOTE forums in another month or so.

I miss the superamoled screen...but other than that the vivid seems like a greatphone so far...although the micfousb port is in the most awkward spot...right on the bottom left side making it uncomfortable to use it while charging...but a dual core 1.2 GHz processor (that was actually underclocked by HTC...its normal speed is 1.5GHz or so I've read...), 1GB of ram phone for what was pretty much a trade for the infuse...I'm satisfied...but I do miss that screen lol

Well...I just wanted to try something completely new...my dad has the atrix so I'm kinda used to motoblur, I'm used to touchwiz...never used an HTC device though so I just wanted to get one...the vivid was just right for the price...couldn't afford a one x and didn't want to downgrade...so I sold the infuse and added $5 to that money and bought the vivid...it just kinda worked out, wasn't like I was out on a hunt for only a vivid...just got it cause it was inexpensive and it was dual core with more ram...

[Q] buying this phone now ?

Is it worth buying the phone now ? i have a low budget because i am only going to use the money from selling my Atrix 4G which annoys me a lot XD
Is the phone fast ? are there any lags or bugs ?
and is there any Cm9/10 finished ?

If you can get one for cheap I definitely recommend it. To me, the CM9 builds we have are all complete besides those minor little niggles like TV out. Our ICS is freaking fast!!! But all of this would not be possible without jt1134 and bhundven. Man I love those guys lol. Anyways, yes its worth it
If you have the chance to get something better then definitely do it. This phone is better than nothing but I can't wait to get some cash and upgrade

Hi Nathan
Please review my signature links and PM me for further questions.
I put my goal to make SGS4G have all the possibilities SGS i9000 has in terms of full Hebrew UI.
I think SGS 4G is an amazing device for its price and is still very much rocking. SheYihYe BeHatzLaCha anyway.

[Q] Buy which phone???

Hey guys:fingers-crossed:
Last summer I found this forum and had alot of fun with my Xperia Pro
Now I am looking for new phone, its been 4 months and still spending too much energy to find my perfect phone..
So, which from these phones u think is best to buy?
s2, s3 mini, s advance, s plus optimus black, one S, xperia sola, arc S
It also need much-very much development
Thanks!
I'd go with the nexus 4
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app
S2. The S3 wasn't enough of an upgrade o justify the higher price.
Go for S2 buddy. It got hell lot of developers for roms and for the price now its affordable.

I just went to an electronics store today, and it was displaying the galaxy note 2. It looks amazing. I played with it a little bit. It is really zippy; everything turns on instantly when u click on it. It is a little big, but very light and slim. You could actually fit in a regular pocket. I am still debating of whether to get the s3 or the note2. Although the note2 would fit perfectly for my work, because I converse a lot on the computer through emails, charts and PDF documents.

But if u could contradict this maybe I will change mind
Oh, and I really want to buy Razr M but its not available and its expensive
In the Netherlands it's 300 euros?
And It's mid-end, great perfomances for that budget, the only downside is the small community (yet).
