well um the nexus, the hd2 may have alot of different OS's to boot to, but that snapdragon processor is not going to perform well in the future

+1 to Nexus S!!! Hands down on this one

Another nexus vote here...

The HD2 is good as a plaything, if you want to try out different OS, but it doesn't match the function and usability of Nexus S.
The battery life is horrible, if you intend to use a HD2 at all then you'd better be resigned to spare or extended batteries. The processor isn't too bad, but still won't match the NS
All in all, it depends on your personal preference, whether you'd rather functionality or simply options.

I had a Hero and I bought a HD2 last summer and put android on it. The HD2 really lowered my respect for HTC. The devices screen was awful - it was really washed out compared to my Hero. Also, the digitizer was not accurate even after calibration within android. You could also see the digitizer touch sensors under the screen in normal daylight. The touch screen would also miss presses, like one press in ten wouldn't be registered by the device - extremely annoying when you are txting. Luckily I kept my Hero and got shut of the HD2, but it left me disappointed.
Anyway I saw the Nexus S deal over on hotukdeals and thought I'd give it a shot as £200 was the max I wanted to spend. Anyway I can safely say that I am a Sammy man from now on. The phone has really exceeded my expectations, especially running ICS.
It's a shame as I always had a soft spot for HTC with the Hero being my first smartphone. But it's sad to say that the nexus one/desire was probably the last great phone HTC have made for the Uk market.
Cheers.

LG optimus g or Samsung galaxy note 2

The LG optimus g with android 4.2 and the Samsung galaxy note 2 will be coming to sprint and at&t. Now I'm confused as to what to upgrade to lol too much awesome phones to choose from.
What are you guys and girls upgrading to when your contract is up? Or are going to leave sprint?

.....Android 4.2?

Yup android 4.2
Sent from my HTC Pyramid using xda app-developers app

I wouldn't let 4.2 sway you, it's expected to be a pretty minor release as I understand it.

Im liking the Galaxy Note 2,not much as far as development yet,but its a new phone,soo i'm almost possitive theres gonna be some great things to come for the Note 2.Aside from the great ammenities it already posseses.Plus i like the 5.3" screen and the stylus.

Yea Im thinking the same thing but at the LG optimus g is going to be a nexus phone and its going to have stock jelly bean right out of the box. And I think it a lil bit faster than the note 2 and It looks better.

Any idea when it will be released tho? Wanna get the optimus G myself.. looks so slick and sexy and the specs are just insane!

The Note 2 is also going to have JB out of the box, and all the cool things it does makes it a remarkable device. Enough to overcome the size of the phone, which to me, is a plus. I like a bigger screen

I'm leaning note2 myself. Not a huge lg fan at all. I've thought about sgs3 but why take a 4 month old phone over a newer faster handset.

The only thing making want to go to the SG3 is that I can afford it right now. That Wirefly deal is sweet. It'll be sometime next year before the note 2 is as affordable on wirefly and by then, I'll be able to just buy it and sell the SG3

Not completely shore but Google will be announcing it and some other devices I think the 25 of this month
Sent from my HTC Pyramid using xda app-developers app

I really like the note 2 more because it has way more software features than the LG, but I like the LG because it looks really nice and the screen.
Do you know if Samsung going to release the source code for note²?

The skin is ugly on the LG, the note screen is bigger and so is the battery... the note all day, but you welcome to go that lg post it..lol

I don't think the LG's UI is ugly, I think its ok but I'm leaning towards the note 2 though. It would be awesome to have both

Sprint already announced the note2 it will be released sometime this month or next. Its supposed to be available on all carriers by the end of Oct but it may be first of Nov for some carriers. You can check the specs for sprints variant on sprint.com

The Note 2, with JB out of the box, looks so good, other than rooting to drop some bloatware, I can't even see any reason to run custom ROMs on it...

Nice second is the Note 2. I honestly love Samsung as a company they add something new and exciting with each of their new phone. I just wish that they made better build quality. Though i understand they went for a skinny light weight phone and all. I really wanted a solid build like the Nexsus 4 the build quality is Excellent on the nexsus 4. Oh well maybe next phone they will have better build quality. If not HTC here i come haha..
Otherwise this is great news..
Here is a link in English..

and your reason why? like what other phone can beat the s3? xD I Knew it was phone of the year back in 2011!!!! how? IT'S A GALAXY PHONE! pure logic that it would win.

I'd say note 2 would of won if not then probably iPhone (say that with much disgust lol). HTC just can't beat the galaxy. They are nice phones but yea like look at the HTC one x+ still 1 GB RAM and no lte I can't understand why they wouldnt do what Sammy done and upped the ram lol oh well

Sent from my GT-I9400 using xda app-developers app

My opinion...
1. Galaxy S3
2. Xperia T (It isn't the most powerful but come on its sexy, and the Xperia UI is much much cleaner than Touchwiz and Sense)
3. One X+ (Sense is horrible, but camera, etc are great on this)

I also had a Desire once, and i was actually pretty pleased with it I remember the first day I got it, and it was extremely fast compared to the xperia X8 I had before.
A not-so-techy friend of mine is still using it with some Oxygen rom I installed way back.

Proud HTC Desire User here i still have mines..

yep once a desire owner flashed the day lights out of the poor phone i was always flashing every custom roms for desire.

It was good to have the Desire HD (Had the same specs, board, etc as the Xperia play) so most of the time the developers in the xperia play section were porting ICS from the desire hd.

I was using Desire HD just a couple of weeks ago. Apart from weak battery was very pleased with it. Wanted to buy HTC device, but built-in battery scared me off.

I had the original desire I loved the track pad on it, it would be cool if the button on the Galaxy s3 was a track pad would be easier to navigate

Ex Desire HD user here - well almost. The American AT&T variant was called the Inspire. Same ROMs worked for both phones (with a minor audio driver change that ROM cooks would bake in).

Still have my desire , rooted , s-off just getting round to flashing jelly bean.
Used it the other day still a fantastic phone and the quality feel in the hands is far better than any of my other phones.
I'll never get rid of it.
