I really like my S3, so I'm looking for something similar. Just newer tech and easier to mod (I'm stuck with Samsung TW 4.4).
Any suggestions? I'd love to get a Nexus, but the 5 isn't available from the carriers and 6 is WAY to big.
PS I can go with AT&T or Verizon. Would prefer to get from the carrier directly to get 2-year plan discount.

I'm looking for an Android tablet, preferably under $200.
Features wanted:
Preferably upgradable to Froyo (by rooting etc)
I don't care about resistive/capacitive, and Galaxy Tab is too expensive
Thanks
I would get the Hauwei Ideos S7 because it is unlocked and you can use it as a 7" phone.
Being a new Verizon customer myself, how do you activate this on Verizon? (Always an AT&T/TMobile customer before, SIM all the way...) xD
You can only activate things that verizons sells on verizon.
I would do a AT&T GoPhone or T-Mobile prepaid option for this baby
I would check att first, with tmo you will only get 2g/edge network. Other than that, its fine.

Sorry for posting if this is already asked, but I am at work and my upgrade is up soon. Could get in huge troble for being on here but was dying to ask...... I am between buying the Galaxy nexus or the note and flashing it to Verizon if possible. I have the unlimited data with Verizon using my fascinate and do not want to lose it by switching carriers. I want the note bad, sooooooo bad. I'm willing to pay if I can flash it. I'm not really looking forward to the nexus as I don't think it has swipe. Swipe is a must for me. Any suggestions? I don't really have a sweet tooth so I'm not so concerned with ICS I will hack it when the time comes if no update is released. If not flashable to Verizon, could you recommend another with similar specs?
Thanks, Essyg
no, you can't flash the note to verizon...you can unlock it to run on T-mobile though. If you're looking to flash a phone, only phones you can use would be on Sprint or you could just get a verizon phone.
Thank you...
Can you recommend one? I am not sure which one to get.... Should I just wait to see if anything new is coming out?
only phones I'd consider from sprint is the htc evo design or the samsung s2 epic 4G touch. They don't compare to the note though...
I have the samsung infuse 4g and was wondering what a good phone would be to replace it now? I like samsung but i want a phone that can get ICS and has a lot of development here? im planning on getting an unlocked one most likely and im probably just gonna pick it up through kijiji. Thanks
imo the galaxy nexus is the best bang for your buck as far as unlocked unsubsidized phones go.
Switching over from the iPhone due to jailbreaking dying out. I'm looking on craigslist to buy a Galaxy S3. Im on AT&T and looking to buy a white or black S3. Is there anything specific I should look out for? Also I plan to root my S3, should I look for a specific S3 model and does it matter what version of an OS its running in order to root it? Like the iPhone with jailbreaking.
Any help is appreciated,
Thanks
No doubt this is a question that has already been asked and answered. However, since I can't find it, I'm forced to bring this up one more time. I'm getting ready to shop for a new smartphone, and I am trying to choose between the S4 and the S5. It is my intent to get an unlocked phone, and I use primarily AT&T's networks. There are multiple variants of each of these phones out there, some of which will work for 4g LTE in the US on AT&T's networks, and some which will not. So, my first question is which models, or variants, of each of these devices do I want to consider? My second question is one of is it worth it to pay the premium for the S5 over the S4. I would have thought my timing was such that prices on the S4 would be dropping around now, just like they did on the S3 when the S4 came out. But I'm not seeing much in the way of a reduction in prices. If it's less than $100 premium for the S5, I guess I might as well bite the bullet. So, any direction or help will be greatly appreciated.
Pay extra and get the S5, or save money and get the S4. The S5 is flashier of course, but really isn't worth the extra cost, imo. I upgraded from the S3 to the S4 and in hindsight I shouldn't of done so. It was not anywhere near worth it as an upgrade and my S3 didn't and still doesn't have a locked bootloader. Most likely in getting the S4 you will be on mf3 or mk2, but being AT&T the S5 will have a locked bootloader as well. Contrary to popular belief this doesn't make it the end of the world for the S4 or S5 as they're still awesome phones. This boils down to what you want to do with your phone and if you're wanting to root and install custom roms with anything asides of the stock kernel. So back to the beginning. Get the S4 if saving money is important, get the S5 if latest and greatest is most important. Both are great choices and you won't go wrong with either unless of course you do want to install non touchwiz custom roms.
