What will your next phone be? - Desire General

The desire is a great phone, phenomenal back when it came out, but it is nearing 2 years old and will likely never see an official update again.
I personally will be waiting for a good flagship quad core phone. This looks tempting if it's real :
http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/15/htc-rezound-review/
but we'll see when 2012 comes around.

What, previous thread isn't good enough for you?

Galaxy s4, 2013 htc flagship or iphone

Probably HAL 9000

The Galaxy Nexus looks very great...so I would wait until HTC offer a Smartphone like the Nexus

A Samsung Galaxy SII...or the Sensation XL

+1! Sensation XL looks awesome...

anyone saw anything about that htc vile or whatever it was?
seemed crazy specs... will wait till probably mid-next year before i think of a new phone

It will be the first HTC GSM smartphone with a 720p screen available.

My guess is it'll be SGS2 ..pricing on that one is great considering the hardware! The ROMS are getting pretty solid aswell

Depends on the price, but HTC SensXL or SGS II.

The Desire is already my 'plaything', my daily driver is an Atrix... It's quite likely that my next phone will be the rumored HTC Edge, I just miss the build quality, and the dev community HTC phones seem to attract. But HTC seem to like only making powerful phones which are massive nowadays so although having played with a Sensation more now and liking the size a bit more I might rethink that depending on what it looks like at release (4.7" screen?!)

Have no idea yet, but i guess it might be another HTC phone, i have a favor of this

The rumoured HTC Zeta or HTC Edge.
Google that !!!

i am planing on the galaxy nexus, but i am not sure jet. if not than galaxy s3

HTC Sense-based one, because of reach user experience, because of lack of it in pure google staff. Galaxy Nexus has a hw bug now with GSM900 networks, hope google recalled buggy phones and repair this POS.

I'm looking for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, but are tempted to await some quad-core phone.

Probably the nexus prime, when it comes down in price.

Loving Htc Sense so my next phone will again be a Htc one.
But I will wait till 2013 i think.

I would choose htc again if they change their update policy... no updates no htc..

Who is upgrading to the Galaxy Nexus?

Hi,
just wondered who is upgrading your Nexus S to the Nexus Prime? Who is willing to invest over 500€/$ for this new Google Device?

I'll definitely wait for a lot of reviews, roms, ice cream on Nexus S to compare and price drop, then i decide what to do.
The screen seems outstanding but there are almost no apps for that resolution, and upscaling is not that good. The ram is nice but i prefer 2gb to never worry about it (at least for 2 years).
I'm already in queue and my wife gets the "S".

I like 4.0 inches screen, and 4.65 inch is too large for me... Not easy for taking .
just got my nexus s since june... I did not earn so much to spend 600 euros on new phone every 6 months...
and to keep talking nexus s is not so bad at all....
I'm going to stick with my nexus s as I also don't want/need a giant screen...4" is perfect for me. I'm just praying we get ICS on our phones soon!

If it's a sexy handset which uses nice materials and has a premium feel then I will definately be upgrading.
If it's plasticky and looks typically dull then I will be hesitant and wait to see how ICS performs on my current Nexus S.
Price is irrelevant to me.
I'm perfectly happy with my Nexus S, why would I upgrade?
I'm just a poor underage boy, so I'll probably wait for the next Nexus device. Also, I don't know if I like the design from the posters...
Gomna upgrade and pass this along to my son, now when it will show up north of the border is another thing.

If Sprint gets this, I'll plan to be on deck to grab two for me and the wife.
the screen is too big but i have bought both nexus one and nexus s one day one lol so i think so but i am perfectly happy with nexus s to be honest there not much i think i need in a phone until 10pm tonight lmao
I'm going to wait and see how ICS performs on the Nexus S but it's gonna be hard to resist and not buy this new baby
I'll wait to see how ICS looks on the S. Also, I will have to wait for Brodit to do the active car kit for it. Couldn't live without the current one now...
Maybe it'll be a bit cheaper by then too...
If it comes to sprint & if I got the $ then it's a 100% yes that I will get it the only thing that can make me hesitate is when specs , pictures
of Galaxy S3 comes out cuz that phone will have even better specs I can bet on that 100%

I will wait for price drop, 6 months or so ...
I'll be picking one up the first day the GSM variant is released. Then the Nexus S will become a dedicated Google TV remote, and the ADP1 will go to the museum. Selling the Nexus S for $150 just isn't worth it, whereas selling the Nexus One for $400 (with dock) after getting the Nexus S was definitely worth it. And I really love the Nexus S.

Smartphone Madness--Help the GNex Win!

Sorry if this has been posted before in this forum (usually stick to AT&T GSII forums) but the GNex needs help to win this---the huge amount of WP7 would crush it at the finals if not. As of Game 14, the Galaxy Nexus is winning, but once it gets to the finals it will be brutally massacred--if you don't believe me look at the comments for this game and past ones too.
Here is the link:
http://blog.laptopmag.com/smartphon...-nokia-lumia-710-voting-ends-330-at-9-a-m-est
Remember, while it is winning now, it must win at the finals. Just look how the Note and Galaxy S II were crushed by Nokia phones.
Oh... how awkward that would be if the championships ended up being as Samsung Galaxy S2 vs. Galaxy Nexus lol.
Voted!

Maybe if they compared to Lumia 900 or something it'd be more reasonable. I'd still think Nexus would win.
Lumia 710 probably has more bots running up the votes than their total users.

GALAXY NEXUS vs IPHONE 4S

Very true...the Galaxy Nexus is far superior to the iPhone 4S is countless ways.
However, the thread that already explored this road is currently in the General Section of this forum....titled ****! A breakdown of Galaxy Nexus vs iPhone 4s

I don't waste my time with sheep, they are some of the most ignorant people on the internet. A tech site just did a Siri vs S-Voice video/review and the S3 was NOT connected to wifi when the iPhone WAS, the whole review was staged. Sheep were gloating all over themselves
Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

battery life, my friend's 4s got it and i dont. carrying a charger wherever i go... look stupid.
My battery isn't much different than it was on my 4s, but I have the gsm version so no LTE to drain it quicker.
I don't think battery chargers have the ability to make people look smart or stupid. Intelligence is not a factor of a battery charger.

You own a GNEX. Who cares about the iPhone. If people want to use it then good for them. Either way it won't change your life. Do you really need to be assured your phone is better?
If reviewers like the iPhone better will that make you go and buy one? People use what is better for them. I actually only tell the more common sense and tech savvy people they should get an Android device. Everyone else who asks for my opinion I tell them to get an iPhone because it will be better for them. I do not give them my opinion based on what is better for me. Except my wife of course.

Seriously dude ... Devs are busting their a** to bring a stable port people like you always troll to discourage them. As for Samsung you know who is heading Cyanogenmod, Steve Kondik who works for Samsung so it's no surprise they got the official one so fast. Personally I don't think we need a official one since our developers here is doing an awesome job.
well ok then. sell your htc one x and buy sgs3 and use cyanmode 9.its easy huh??

No mod or Rom will fix the crap reception that the sgs3 has. And nothing will fix the fact that the amoled screen is just not bright enough in direct sunlight.
Trololololololololololo!!!! - Eduard Khil :cyclops:
Sorry for i first post. I didn't intent to insult developers who do this wonderful job on their own free time. My point is why they got so fast and why HTC just give us s-off devices?
This is the HTC One X forum, so no need to discuss any other device than this.
Closed.

Need your opinions...

So right now I have an evo4g lte (not a thing wrong with it). Sprint sent me a white galaxy s3 (refurb) with only 15 total life calls on it and less than an hour of use. It only came with a charger. It was basically sprint saying, hey sorry for a messup try out this phone if you don't like it send it back...or keep it and send back evo.
Questions...
When I got the evo I purchased best buys buyback on the evo. Wouldn't I lose the buyback on the evo ? What's the best deal to not lose money? (got evo on release day)
Why would a refurb have such little use and are refurbs a concern?
My next upgrade is Feb 2014.
I've took a look already of what others said pros and cons are.
Just looking for advice from community to come to a decision
Thanks!
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Stick with the s3 man you won't be disappointed. Night and day difference in quality and performance over your evo.. Buyback plan may switch to the s3 since they sent it to you but I'm not sure. You made money off this deal by them sending you that phone regardless of it being refurb. I've rarely had an issue with any refurbished devices.

Why is Sprint sending you a reverb when your evo has nothing wrong with it?
Aside from that it's your personal opinion on which one you like more. I can't stand HTC phones so I'm no help.

Wow lucky person lol. I'd stick with the gs3 but I'm biased. My wife's old evo ruined HTC for me.
Sent from Pluto.
The S3 is better than the Evo LTE in my opinion. I also can't stand Sense or HTC support. Its not a huge upgrade though. I would talk to Best Buy about how much they would give you etc. But just to be very clear the S3 has better hardware and software and will get upgrades for Android faster and more often.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Gotcha....
I guess my only concerns now is it appears if the phone is replaced and the buy back isn't attached to the esn then you lose out in the program if I take the galaxy...or keep what I have for another year and figure that I won't be paying out if pocket a whole lot of money for the next greatest thing.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Well here's my opinion on the gs3 or evo lte why I got the gs3 was one the fact that I can't stand not being able to switch batterys if needed but other than that they have just about the same specs and I just liked the look of the gs3 better and flip covers they look so cool right haha just wish Samsung made black gs3 for sprint
