Guest jeddy1 Posted May 21, 2011 Report Posted May 21, 2011 (edited) hi! i already have the blade but i would like to get a phone with bigger screen than the blade and around 300 euros maximum! there is the skate i was/am waiting but i just read from zte site that it will not have an ARMv7 processor i guess so i am not willin to buy it if it doesnt have that processor.. there is Huawei ideos x5 also which looks a good phone and its just 188 euros here in GR! any thoughts :P?? Thank you btw :rolleyes: Edited May 21, 2011 by jeddy1
Guest Denzo Posted May 21, 2011 Report Posted May 21, 2011 Ideos has good specs, its like Desire Z, a fine phone, but its a Huawei, apparently not the most reputable manufacturer. People on the forum said Ideos x5 has its issues, namely bad wifi connectivity, but than again others had no problems whatsoever. I think its a good buy, especially if it comes with a 2 year warranty.

Guest hecatae Posted May 22, 2011 Report Posted May 22, 2011 ideos x5 is becoming a very informative forum on xda-dev. I'm holding out for the x6
Guest slitz Posted May 22, 2011 Report Posted May 22, 2011 (edited) Motorola Defy is a decent alternative, has a CM7 rom (not sure if official). 2.3.3 rom for it got leaked as well. But if the Ideos X5 has the same processor as the Desire Z then you might be able to overclock it to 1.8 Ghz. So either a phone you can play hot potato with or a Huawei? Defy has 3.7" at 480x854 resolution with A8 800 Mhz, camera is supposed to pretty good. Huawei has 3.8" at 480x800 resolution with second generation snapdragon at 800 Mhz. Both only support up to 2 finger proper multi-touch. Edited May 22, 2011 by slitz

Guest hecatae Posted May 22, 2011 Report Posted May 22, 2011 sorry hecatae what exactly do you mean with that ? have a look at the huawei u9000
Guest Fou-lu Posted May 22, 2011 Report Posted May 22, 2011 second hand galaxy S would be a good choice, 180-210£ on eBay.
Guest Jekle Posted May 22, 2011 Report Posted May 22, 2011 I'm getting a new Android Phone at the end of the month, Ideos X5 Sim Free at the carphone warehouse is £169.95 but no contract or pay as you go deals
Guest slitz Posted May 22, 2011 Report Posted May 22, 2011 (edited) Out of stock at CPW atm, I read it's a online only deal. You could also wait a month or so when more high-end (i.e. dual-core) phones roll out and the current phones out will drop price. The PowerVR SGX540 is a lot better than the Adreno 205, without overclock and even better with overclock. Might be a bit of a long wait if you're impatient though. I believe the Nexus S scores ~44 fps and ~60 fps when overclocked to 1.6 Ghz vs the Adreno 205's (Desire Z) ~27 fps at 800 Mhz and ~45 fps overclocked to 1.5 Ghz; both using Nenamark. Although the Nexus S might've pulled ahead because of Gingerbread. IIRC, the Galaxy S wasn't that far behind the Nexus S in Nenamark. Ideos X6 looks like it has similar specifications to the Desire HD minus the ram (X6 has 512 MB vs DHD's 768 MB). Edited May 22, 2011 by slitz
Guest Denzo Posted May 22, 2011 Report Posted May 22, 2011 Samsung Wave has the same specs as galaxy S, but its much cheaper. It has Bada out of the box, but they apparently ported Android to it, not sure how well it works tho. I saw a few good deals here in Slovenia, but I would rather have Wave II with a 3.7' screen.
Guest slitz Posted May 22, 2011 Report Posted May 22, 2011 I keep reading that the first Wave is better than the Wave 2, I'm not sure why as I've never used Bada. I think it might be the screen type?
Guest Mushroom_Lord Posted May 22, 2011 Report Posted May 22, 2011 Well, Im sticking with my blade :P I 'spose if you want to upgrade look out for 1) Android (DUH!) and 2) Devs: half the reason I love the Blade is the community, the customization. Since buying it, I have entered a world of modding in more fields and will now refuse to buy anything without that modding value :rolleyes:
Guest jeddy1 Posted May 22, 2011 Report Posted May 22, 2011 have a look at the huawei u9000 its more expensive than what i have right now! second hand galaxy S would be a good choice, 180-210£ on eBay. i never buy from eBay I'm getting a new Android Phone at the end of the month, Ideos X5 Sim Free at the carphone warehouse is £169.95 but no contract or pay as you go deals are u really getting it?i guess its a nice choice.

Same as ZTE very variable build quality. (Various issues with blade wifi signal due to poor manufacturing). Don't give a crap about providing good quality rom's (point releases etc).
Guest jeddy1 Posted May 24, 2011 Report Posted May 24, 2011 (edited) brand new? yeeep :P EDIT: why, how much it costs where u are ? Edited May 24, 2011 by jeddy1

Don't give a crap about providing good quality rom's (point releases etc). yes that was with huawei u8800 but since they changed the name to ideos x5 they fixed the problem.btw a friend of mine is going that phone tomorrow so i will see from him if it has any issues..
