True, personally when it comes to android handsets, I would only ever consider Samsung (only their high end phones like the GS 2, GS 3 though as their mid range phones are crap and don't get good support) and HTC (only their high and mid range phones), possibly Motorola as well now, but they are always behind schedule for the UK with releases and I don't think it is worth waiting for months for their devices over the flagship for HTC and Samsung.
