Should i buy i9000 or xt720

Hi,
i have a htc wildfire but unfortunately its screen is too small. I'll choose Motorola xt720 or i9000. Do you have any advice on this?

lol yea,
actually i meant that are you guys still happy with i9000? i heard about some gps bug or something, is that fixed? samsung will release gingerbread or want us to buy nexus s? now you guys are the owners, any regret or would you go with any other brand? things like that i want to hear from you guys.

I think with the latest JPU firmware, Galaxy S is the best Android phone feature wise.

I wouldn't change the SGS for xt720 or even a Nexus S at the moment. (720p recording, fast, etc.) Thanksfully some nice guys will port some parts of the kernel drivers which arent yet working on the SGS (read: closed source) and then build some AOSP Gingerbread 'n friends. CM7 would also be a piece of cake once kernel issues are sorted

Goodbye GT540, Wildfire S is calling :(

Let me just say, I wont be as active in the GT540 forums any more, as I have bought my self a Wildfire S (but I won't be rooting or modding it.) I will use the GT540 for ROM testing and stuff but I wont use it as much) It's been great helping out in any way I can. Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

have fun with the wildfire jack

Ah but which wildfire? Buzz (First One) or Wildfire S? Also, since i'm not modding my Wildfire S I will still answer posts in the GT540 forums so i'm sort of still here

Ey Jack, how are you liking the wildfire comparing to gt540? When I bought the gt540 I was really wanting the wildfire, but it was 100 euros or so more than the gt540, and I can only see a better camera and more internal memory (which doesn't really afects much, now with link2sd, swapper and so on)...
Having a worse battery, same lcd resolution, same cpu but costing (at least in Portugal) more than 100euros more, was this a good deal?

I think it is, the screen is much better (And I usually prefer Resistive screens over capacitive) and I didn't pay because I renewed my contract with Vodafone and got to choose this or an X8 (but with some accessories) also my GT540 was bought seperate from my contract. so I chose Wildfire S instead because I love HTC phones (because of their build quality, software support etc)

It isn't properly released, but Paul on MoDaCo has a 2.2 MCR made from a leaked rom. Also, Wildfire S ships with Android 2.3.3.

[HELP!] Purchasing New Phone

Its time to purchase a new phone and i am looking at the Samsung Galaxy SII. Can someone please outline whats good/bad about the device and how the development is going? I can see that there is a lot of stock ROMs avaliable for it but will there be ROMs like CM7 and Sense, as it will take a while to port ROMs to its processor as it has to be done from scratch

I'd really recommend you to wait for a bit
Wait for the google Phone by Motorola
OR I'd say go for a ARC
What do u want in a phone ?

Best to go and ask people in galaxy s forum? Afterall they do own the phone.

I'd say go for a HTC device then
They have many many devs
They have the latest Specs and I mean "fast"
Don't go for Samsung

sgs2 is awesome.... The screen is vivid, it's dual core so it will be more future proof and because it is the biggest selling android phone of all time there will be tons of development. Also samsung is very well known to support development and custom roms, hiring the cyanogen mod developer, etc...
do not get an arc, there have been a lot of problems with the build, the housing has been cracking for a big number of people who bought them.

What about the htc sensation.

The new arc s? I'd stick to sony Ericsson due to the fact that rooting and flashing roms/kernel is not a pain in the ass like HTC 's devices or samsung lol

Don't take it wrong buddy but when i go to the htc forums i always get confused like hboot fastboot bootloader s-off blablabla i dont even know what is that but looks like a pain in the ass the goldcard thingy the software you need to root ur phone it is like 30 steps ? Compared to the x10 i think its harder :/

hahah I did it in like 2 minutes, it was no harder than flashtool...
There is one program that s-off and roots your device, just like flashtool.
The reason x10 is so easy is because we don't have an unlocked bootloader, so we use flashtool for everything.
On htc phones you can flash full custom roms which include kernel, and you can also flash different radios.
It is literally no more difficult, and much better imo. Say if you break your usb port, you aren't screwed like you are with an x10.
I learned everything in about 5 minutes, read one small tutorial.

What he said.....or just wait a bit for newer. But the sgs2 is certainly not a bad choice.

I'm probably going to get a sgs2 because I've had my vibrant for the longest time I like the super amoled screen but I wish it was bigger
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

Probably the most important thing I want in a phone is support from developers. Xperia Arc doesn't have alot of devs while SGS2 is flooding with devs and custom roms

Just wait a bit longer and get the google nexus prime

I would wait the SGS2 is not that much faster then x10 on latest custom.. Screen is no higher res etc either .. Rather than lock into what is really a minor upgrade for 18 months wait for true decent upgrade

You are a funny man.

i suggest you wait and see the upcoming new releases of phones by other brands. Samsung Galaxy SII seems quite uninteresting. i feel x10 could do better in general. Samsung is not on 'my-favourite-brands' list. but, i have to admit Samsung Galaxy SII is not so bad, better than average smartphones, i believe.

You must be drunk if you think the galaxy s2 is a minor upgrade from the x10. If that's so then the arc is not even an upgrade just a tweak.

This is a bit offtopic bro!
But Xperia Play is your choice. Since it is awesome and has a bigger screen and a better camera. And also IT IS A PSP/PHONE!

i would go with play just because bigger screen

only between those 2?
you could also get Xperia Pro with 8.1MP and keyboard
but it's the best to decide that for yourself i never ask ppl or someone else what phone to buy i think about one or 2 and decide it myself what i want and if i have to think about it for 2-3 weeks then so be it.
They have both 5MP both 1GHz same resolution,
only screen size is different and Neo V doesn't have keyboard.
But if i were you i would think about buying Xperia Pro instead it's good and i think around same price as Xperia Play (in my country)
or get a newer one like xperia u has dual core all of them are in my country around same price sure i don't know in yours and how much you want to spent for a new phone =/

go with xperia 2012 series..
because play and neo both are single core processors ..
its time to switch to dual core

Dude look for for a clean second hand phone that has a dual core processor if you can't afford a new one

Ace is already a relic and you want to not only but one now but keep it for 3-4 years
Who keeps a phone that long?
Xda is currently closing legacy forums based on post activity so the ace forum may not even be around in three to four years
And on top of that the galaxy ace is worst than the galaxy y the only positive aspect would be slightly better (not more) development
I honestly don't see the logic in downgrading from a horrible phone to an even older worst phone for minimal developmental benefit
Anyways u say your budget is 8k idk what that works out to in us but anyways your better off getting a nexus 4 or galaxy grand
S4 INFO

Go for explorer. It will take be in active development for few more years.
