Need advice on my next PHONE/TABLET / what model is better? Official Thread---

[FLAC Vest]

A problem that I have is that the Optimus Speed is still not available in my e-plus and BASE shops... you think it could be available by May? If not until then I'd take the Arc or SGS...
Is it worth the wait if you need a phone for the next years?

I would say it is worth the wait. I'm sitting with a N1 right now and waiting for the Galaxy S 2 to come out to see what that's all about. However you can go ahead and get a top tier single core phone right now, they aren't going to be replaced anytime soon.

I predict that single core, 1ghz phones will be around for at least this year and next year; at the end of 2012 is when a dual core phone should be a... good incentive on getting it. (Spec wise anyway).

looking for suggestions on phones to look into

So I'm looing to buy a new phone in the next couple months, I've yet to own a smartphone but am the type of person that gets right into modding and customizing and what not. there are somany phones available and I guess im looking for some help in picking out a few to research further. mainly im looking for a phone that is rootable without to much trouble and that has strong hardware specs ( dual core and such). Im leaning heavily toward android but open to windows seven

What carrier are you on? That is very important in finding out what is and isn't available to you.

 

[Tulmon]

well Im from canada, I'm not with any carrier atm just bell pay as you go, main carriers are bell, rogers, telus, koodo, wind, fido. I dont know if that means anything to you or not.

well i make a second thought about moto xoom and a honeycomb tablet in general.as i see there are very few apps compatible with honeycomb and thats a shame.Adding the need for a dual boot netbook makes my decision difficult.I was interested also at asus eeepad transformer as it can be easily transform to a netbook.Or atrix in combination with a netbook would be great.
But i hate its locked bootloader.

But other than that are there any tablets (new generation) that can do dual- boot with linux.so to have honeycomb with linux ?

Well you should definitely look at the dual core phones coming out. The Samsung Galaxy 2 should be coming out soon within this or next month to various countries, the TMobile G2X is coming out this month, the Atrix is already out (although I would suggest getting another dual core phone when reviews start coming in).

There are a lot of options (obviously) and I only listed a small few. I think you should surf various news sites and find out news on the next phones coming up. ONce you find the names, surf the forums here and see what people have to say about them.

Personally I'm waiting for the Galaxy S 2 for the top of the line specs and hardware.

g2x is nice, wish T-mobile didnt suck where i live.

 

[thepoetvd776]

Im debating between the G2x and the Samsung Galaxy S 2. Since the SG2 will be possibly be out this month also, I have no idea which one to get.

 

[galaxys]

I'll be getting the next HTC dual core...looks like it will be the Pyramid!

 

[ppcmaster1]

What about the new galaxy tab? isn't it supposed to be dual core?

 

[shad0wboss]

Dual core CPU is way to go !

I'm holding out for the droid bionic

I have an EVO 4G and am thinking about getting the EVO HD with the dual core processor and because it has much more internal space and double the ram. But no kickstand and 2x5 megapixel cameras for 3D and not just one eight which I love my phone now.Best phone I ever had but the 3D looks cool but I don't really need it if I can keep my phone now with enough disk space. For awhile I was getting low disk space alot and nothing would sync. But I cleared alot of cache on apps and deleted a couple I didn't really use.

My friend has AT&T and just got the Inspire. If I had AT&T I would have that phone and if I had Verizon I am sure I would have the Thunderbolt. And lots of new good tablets coming out and I already bought the Archos 10.1 16 gig. I should of waited but it's ok it does what I need and I have some of my marketplace apps on there like scrabble games so that's cool.

go for htc flyer. wait for its release. really awesome

 

[FlyingEagle200]

None, id get HTC flyer tablet and milestone 2 phone

 

[rikardo1979]

I would go for HTC Pyramid/Sensation for sure. First HTC with DualCore CPU
The 1st piece is for sale in >>>Croatia<<< and its should be out this week here in UK. I hope

Hi Guys i new to the Forum but i will try to contribute ;-)

I also think the HTC Sensation will be a great phone. With a 1.2 GHz CPU a dual-core processor and a 768MB RAM it will be very fast. Other phones that i think that rock are the LG Optimus 3D (the first 3D smartphone) and the Samsung Galaxy S2.

If i would buy a tablet i would wait for the LG Optimus 3D tablet. According to a Dutch website it will be released in June. It will have an 8.9 inch 3D display and Android 3.0 Honeycomb.

shame the pyramid has only 768 ram. the evo 3d has 1gb...

Why htc, why?

 

[Rose4uKY]

When is the EVO 3D coming out I have the EVO now but am interested in this. Still can't afford getting a new tablet when I just bought the Archos 10.1 not too long ago and it has a kickstand and I can surf the web and play my scrabble games on it so it's good for me..

Hi, my T-mobile UK contract is coming to an end in 2 months and I was wondering if you guys could help me decide which phone to get when I upgrade, or if I should hold out for something great on the horizon.

I've got an HD2 at the moment and i'm looking for some along the same lines but improved. I'll want to root it as soon as possible and put on stock Android 2.3 with Launcher Pro so software isn't important.

Basicly i'm looking for an HD2 that I can hook up to my TV with an HDMI cable and play mkv/mp4s off of.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm thinking Xperia Arc.

Thanks!
