Guest steveuk1981 Posted October 26, 2011 Report Posted October 26, 2011 I've had my blade for nearly a year now, it was my 1st android phone and i think its a great little phone. I'm now looking to move on to something else, for my budget the choices i have are samsung galaxy s or the lg optimus 2x but i really cant decide. I love the samsung screen, but love the look and feel of the lg. So, if anyone has either could you post your likes and dislikes about them pleaase,.
Guest samizu Posted October 26, 2011 Report Posted October 26, 2011 I think u should buy huawei u8800, cheap and it has arm7 cpu...
Guest Modifoid Posted October 26, 2011 Report Posted October 26, 2011 I can't decide between lg optimus 2x (better camera) and the Motorola Atrix (More RAM) ....think the SGS is getting a bit old now.
Guest steveuk1981 Posted October 26, 2011 Report Posted October 26, 2011 The huawei u8800 doesnt appeal to me :( , i think it looks cheap imo. I'm wanting something alittle better quality wise. Ive always liked the galaxy s, but since having alittle play with the 2x i cant decide.
Guest muller37 Posted October 26, 2011 Report Posted October 26, 2011 I recently got the nexus s and can't say enough about it. Been out a while so price coming down and ice cream sandwich update on the way.
Guest t0mm13b Posted October 26, 2011 Report Posted October 26, 2011 Nexus One is denied ICS upgrade.... so that's ruled out...

I love the samsung screen, but love the look and feel of the lg. So, if anyone has either could you post your likes and dislikes about them pleaase,. The original Samsung Galaxy S can have a completely unusable GPS (Dunno which revisions). Xperia Play 2011+ Sony Ericsson Devices (Xperia Arc etc). Samsung Galaxy S Plus (Galaxy S would be ok if you could guarantee the revision). Palm Pre 2 (Android is boring). Acer Liquid Metal Motorola Defy+ (2011 model so should get unlocked bootloader eventually if bought sim free). Nexus S (My main problem with the blade is ZTE's mockery of Opensource and terrible quality control / build quality). (Avoid First generation snapdragon if you can and devices with crappy dual touch like the blade).
Guest muller37 Posted October 26, 2011 Report Posted October 26, 2011 Nexus One is denied ICS upgrade.... so that's ruled out... Nexus s will though :-)
Guest t0mm13b Posted October 26, 2011 Report Posted October 26, 2011 Nexus s will though :-) Yes obviously Nexus S will get it... Knew someone would reply that! xD :D
Guest TouchyAndalou Posted October 26, 2011 Report Posted October 26, 2011 The Xperia Play is available for a great price on pay as you go with O2, and can be used with giffgaff straight out of the box. I've recently bought a OMC and it's a nice phone, a good upgrade from the Blade imo and better than its specs would suggest. The current lack of an unlock solution is unfortunate however.
Guest dudpon1 Posted October 26, 2011 Report Posted October 26, 2011 i think nexus s will be great for you :)
Guest targetbsp Posted October 26, 2011 Report Posted October 26, 2011 (edited) The SGS 1 is pants, despite the spec. I have a friend with one. He prefers my Blade!! Except for the touch sensitive buttons. They're cool! So many damn revisions of the thing though, he might just have a bad one. The Xperia Play is stupidly cheap atm but apparently quite bulky and pointless if you're not a gamer. The Acer Liquid Metal is cheap from Expansys. Edited October 26, 2011 by targetbsp
Guest unrandomsam Posted October 27, 2011 Report Posted October 27, 2011 The Xperia Play is stupidly cheap atm but apparently quite bulky and pointless if you're not a gamer. Not pointless (Not like the features are costing you anything - in fact ignoring the gaming part its probably better in every category than any similar priced phone (performance / audio quality / camera / screen quality). Don't see why there is the obsession with bulk (At least why men want something none bulky - I would always take features / performance / build quality / rugged etc over asthetics / weight / size).
Guest targetbsp Posted October 27, 2011 Report Posted October 27, 2011 (edited) No denying it's a stunning spec'd phone for the price. In fact I'm trying to work out what;s wrong with it to have led to it dropping from £500 to £150 in 6 months! But if you have no interest in gaming then you'll spend the rest of the year carrying the extra size and weight of basically a joypad for absolutely no reason. It's that bit that's pointless. :D Note that I haven't see one. I have no idea quite how bulky it is. But I'm told it's quite sizeable It would be the phone I'd get, but then, I am a gamer... :D Edited October 27, 2011 by targetbsp
Guest Mushroom_Lord Posted October 27, 2011 Report Posted October 27, 2011 For me, anything that's HPDI, about £150 and has CM7. And is a tad faster than the blade... I can dream :P
Guest Kamikaze. Posted October 27, 2011 Report Posted October 27, 2011 (edited) So your budget is around 300£? I'd buy Samsung Galaxy S, HTC Desire or HTC Desire Z(If you want a psychical keyboard). The best choice for me would be Desire Z. Versatile supply of roms(my fav CM7 also). The CPU is "only" 800mhz, but I've seen videos, where people showcase their Z's, overclocked to 2GHZ! So it must be pretty powerful processor! Edited October 27, 2011 by Kamikaze.

Guest hugobosslives Posted October 27, 2011 Report Posted October 27, 2011 I was looking for a Desire Z everywhere! Anyone know where I can get it on the cheap or know of anyone selling one?> Thanks! the play isnt that bulky. granted it is fatter than most phones but only a tiny bit. worth it for the performance per pound your getting at £149.99

Guest shawfield Posted October 28, 2011 Report Posted October 28, 2011 Acer Liquid Metal at £131 from Expansys has got to be a tempting offer at that price. 2.3.4 Android OS & there is a team waiting for ICS source code to be released so they can MOD it. Far better value than the £514 ( www.clove.co.uk ) for Galaxy Nexus.
Guest hecatae Posted October 28, 2011 Report Posted October 28, 2011 Acer liquid e is £79.99 from EXPANSYS decent upgrade
Guest Mushroom_Lord Posted October 29, 2011 Report Posted October 29, 2011 Acer liquid e is £79.99 from EXPANSYS decent upgrade I'm pretty sure this went out just after you posted :P So many HUKD lurkers :P
