[Q] Recommend this phone?

[galaxys3lover]

would you guys recommend buying this phone as a secondary device(at this time) ... just to learn more about android development and such??

or is the htc inspire 4g or nexus s better?

imho, the captivate is a great choice. I have a friend who had a nexus s, and my brother had the htc, after owning a cappy.

on comparing experience for purposes of rooting, customization, development history and unbricking solutions, the captivate is best.


you may want to ask the same question in nexus s q/a forum. I personally put HTC inspire 4G last - my brother totally bricked his.

Personally, I'd love to get my hands on a Nexus S. Only because the dev on it seems to still be pretty active, such as the port for Ubuntu Touch, etc. But, other than that, the cappy community is awesome .

We have Ubuntu Touch in here as well Look in the Gen section

It's a good choice. At this point it's relatively inexpensive and you won't feel too bad if you brick it. A new nexus would probably make me cry.

Plus it's age means that everything is pretty well out there by this point if you need reference.
