Top of the range Android phone?

Clown · 31 Jul 2011 at 14:30

I'm coming to the end of my contract so I've been out of the loop for about 18 months. Can you guys in the know tell me what Android phones I should be looking into these days?

I currently have a HTC HD2 and I've played with Android ROMs with sense on it. I also currently have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7". I'm not sure which I prefer really as I ended up using Launcher Pro. Thinking about it, I didn't really like Sense so I guess I'm looking at the Galaxy or the Nexus

With it being a dual-core and all, doesn't it rinse out the battery?

I have an iPhone too. I just want a new toy really

I've got the very first one and an iPhone 4. They're both pretty much the same as each other.

The only thing I use every so often on the iPhone4 that I can't on the original one is facetime I think. Sure the screen is better and the camera is better and it is faster and everything but meh, the OS is pretty much the same.

Anyhow, I don't need another iPhone 4.

Just to stick the cat amongst the pigeons... Why specifically an Android phone? Looked at the Windows Phone options?

It's too late and I've already got the Samsung on order but I'll entertain this.

My last contract phone was the HTC HD2. Everyone had warned me about Windows Mobile, but I'm not one to pay attention to any hype and I like to do my own research so I ignored them and gave it a go. While it was able to bare it, I ended up flashing to Android to make it my first Android device. Like Stu, I ended up using exclusively on Android.

This prompted me to get the Samsung Galaxy Tab as I wanted a proper Android gadget. However, in hindsight, it was a mistake to get it. It's basically just a big phone; too big to be a phone but too small to be a tablet.

So now I'm just going to do it properly, and get the Android device I can get right now. It's not really anything against Windows Mobile 7, I just don't fancy playing with it right now. I'm sure I can get a ROM to flash my HD2 to 7 if I really wanted a go though.

For the sake of giving this thread a conclusion the deal I got on the phone is £15 a month (12 month contract), £260 up front. 400 minutes, 1000 texts, 1GB data.

Maybe I'll try it after I give Google a proper go
