How many of my Aussie brothers have bought this smartphone and how good is it compared to the quadcore phones out there today and would you recommend it?

i am using ONE X, and then i got a RAZR HD
i didn't like it that much; besides the AMAZING download speed
(4G that's without a doubt, and 3G is also great reach 25Mb~30Mb of speed)
but performing wise... no, it is not faster than Quadcore phones.
so if you haven't but it, try S3 the LTE version (I9305) which has 2G of RAM (don't get the wrong one)
that I9300 also just piece of crap LOL
:laugh:

if i get to choose? Nexus 4
please correct me if i am wrong,
that Nexus 4 it's Quadcore 1.5Ghz Krait
and
RAZR HD only has Dual Core 1.5GHz Krait
performance wise, Nexus 4 is definately much better
Nexus 4 also comes with 2G of RAM
the only down side of Nexus 4, it's that 16GB of ROM and not expandable
please ref this page for more comparison info

I rolled out 3 new GS3 4G's at work. They seem nice and fast, but I'll never get another Samsung after my current GS2. Only thing leaning me towards the Razr HD at the moment is the battery life. My GS2 is sometimes dead by lunch and I'm just not sure if the Nexus will make it through a big work day.
Razr HD with CM10-11 would be amazing!
Oh and has anyone found/got a good case? I would be keen to find a flip case to protect the screen as well.
Can any aussie telstrs here upload the stock telstrs firmware, jelly bean or ics?

I really like the nexus 4 but 16gb is not enough since there is only about 12gb of internal space, then there is the Galaxy S3 but don't like it's polycarbonate casing because I currently have a Galaxy S2 on a Telstra plan and it's materials feel cheap but the Motorola has excellent materials and big battery and I have read reviews that talk highly of this phone so maby I'll wait till one of you guys can share your real world experience.
Using hd. Came from Htc one x and galaxy nexus. Used to swap sim regularly. Htc one x was rubbish. Constant issues and returned with further issues after warranty work.
I love my Hd, torn with Nexus 4 though. The build quality of the hd is awsome and hopefully its strong enough to break my cycle of 2-3 phones every year. No regrets especially when in 4g

Please somebody upload the firmware? Telstra seems to operate on 4G 1800MHz like my Belgian provider. Then I can use 4G.
Or if someone is willing to sell me a new one >PM<

I'm thinking about getting the HD. I currently have the SGSIII. Any comparissons or recommendations on the two? Is the HD quicker with dual core Krait CPU?
Got a Razr HD on the weekend. Love it. The build quality is excellent and the software seems much better than some of Motos previous efforts. The battery life hasn't amazed me yet. Hopefully it improves. I can only get about 17 hours so far with moderate usage. I installed Juice Defender last night and it seems to be making a big difference so far...
Can't wait for Jelly Bean. After running CM10 on my previous phone (Defy) and my Nexus 7, ICS is a bit of a step backward...

Wife has a SG3, its ok, plastic feels cheap. All the extra UI stuff just gets turned off after the first gimmick day. My RAZR feels smoother.

Moved from Virgin to Telstra to get a Razr HD. Got it a just over a week ago and returned it yesterday morning. The vibrate was not working period so I contacted Moto and they told me to turn it on and off again... Super! Funnily enough that didn't bring the vibrater back to life. Ended up doing a full factory reset about a dozen times. Nope.
Returned to the phone to Telstra under their ELF program for up to a two week wait.. Yippee
They gave me a sweet Galaxy Ace to keep me going... Super.
Think I just got a bad one but if They replace it with another failure I might try and get an SGSIII instead. My wife has one and It is better then the Razr HD if I'm honest.

I know this is not the place to do this but in marketplace everyone is focused on other brands.
I have 2 unlocked Huawei U8800Pro
1 new never used and the other one it's like new mint conditions no scratches or dents.
Both phones comes with the original box and accesories.
This is not the Impulse 4G from AT&T, this is the Pro version which is clocked to factory 1Ghz (MSM8255)
I use DHL, i will ship them first so there's no doubt.
Pictures including my username will be taken tomorrow.
Looking forward for a SGS2, SENSATION, ATRIX ME860, NEXUS S, ETC...
I can consider others as well.

So I'm planning on getting a new phone soon, and the price of the Nexus 4 is already pushing it. I was on kogan and I came across a HTC One X for $399.
Same screen size, same resolution, more space. It doesn't have the S4 Quadcore though, it's tegra 3.
Is there something I'm missing? Or should I maybe go for this? I don't know how long I'd have to wait for the Nexus 4 to come back in stock and my current phone (Nokia N8) is dying..
(I'm aware the One X is currently sold out, but I'm fairly sure it'll come back in stock soon)
? people are reporting that they've been buying N4 just a couple days ago and received it already even though it says it will be shipped in 6-7 weeks. you can check this in the other shipping threads in general

But I never ordered one. Check the play store website, in Australia at least, it still says sold out.
So is the One X a decent alternative?

Buy a Nexus S for $50 and a $200 set of headphones. One option.

Oh you're in Australia. Nevermind, thought you were in N.A. or Europe.
One x is a great phone mate.
Been using one while my patience waiting for a n4 slowly dissolves. Get it.
Then wait for Nexus 5.

You should put the Galaxy S3 (international) in your consider list. There are a few things going for it compared to the N4, including: microSD, USB OTG, MHL, Wolfson DAC (audio quality), and base on what I've seen so far: better front and rear camera and better speaker. With that said I've been reading many people having the S3 died instantly on them for no reason.

I was considering a GS3, but it's $200 more than the N4 and $400 is already too much for me, haha.
I want a high end phone with a big screen though, and I've completely filled my current 16GB phone so the 32GB One X seemed good.

There's always custom roms isn't there? And how is it outdated? Quad Core tegra 3 is above anything else at this price range, right? (Besides N4 of course)
Coming from a one x they are a great phone, good dev support etc. I just got bored of HTC sense it got bloated and horrible for me. If you don't want to wait for a N4 a one x is a good option

Couldn't I flash it with a vanilla ICS though? I don't really want all that sense bull****.
Of course but IMHO HTC devices rely heavily on Sense.
Camera performance will suck on AOSP.
I say get the Galaxy Nexus & save yourself the trouble.
Sent from my HTC EVO LTE
Eh, I'd rather the quad core and more space..
There's no way to have decent camera quality without sense?
I don't use the camera that much, but it's still nice to have..
Sense is ok and the camera app is amazing. Great outdoor viewing especially when using camera. You can actually see what you're shooting I've been using since April and have bought and sold a number of new releases but the sim always goes back in the one x for some reason.
First phone I haven't rooted or played with since jailbreaking iPhone 3g.
Stock works fine.....

People say good things of the One X's camera and screen. I'm a fan of the N4's screen, too, personally.

Yes i ordered the htc one today to replace my galaxy s3..
If i am not satisfied i can always trade it with a ..

I'm curious. Why'd you "jump ship" to One? Reason I'm asking is my wife's second digitizer (replaced ~1 month ago) is going out and upgrade is due 1 APR. If the One is delayed TOO much, we may have to get a different phone, and the S3 is a candidate. Thx
I want to sell my sg3 keeping my hox, still on fire... I m in Argentina but cant find buyers.. Thats bad:banghead:

Congratulations
I have just got a HTC one to replace my S3.
The ui is far more basic (or close to stock if you prefer) but the speed is awesome and I think I prefer the more natural screen colours. The definition is amazing.
Overall I am more than pleased. Only 2 days in but I have to say that this is my best ever phone. Only thing slightly lacking is it couldn't wait for the 64gb version and I have a LOT of music but I think I will cope with the 32gb version)
The very best feature in NO LAG! I have been waiting for that so long! Even faster than the Nexus 4. In fact this is the phone the nexus 4 should have been.
There have been iPhone muggers before but this Is the iPhone killer!
Android ftw!

I'm dumping my Sprint Galaxy S 3 as soon as I can get my hands on this phone. Every review I've seen so far says it's the best phone they've ever rated. Period. Looking forward to a quad core processor.
The GS 3 is OK. The GS 4 looks like more of the same with a quad core. Touch Wiz sucks. Running other launchers has really screwed up my voicemail. Rooting is a bit out of my league.
Sprint still doesn't have 4G in NE Ohio. Sprint 3G is SLOW. Any suggestions for the best network speed from a major U.S. carrier ?
NE Ohio here as well, Youngstown area.
I personally love my gs3, just like new technology and stepdaughters windows phone needs replaced, so she is getting the HTC Amaze and wife will rock the S3.
As far as provider, I like T-Mobile in big cities, but the Bonies it gets rough. I get 20mb down and 3 up on their HSPA +.
Verizon is the best for overall. But they are more expensive than anyone else, but great coverage and great speeds.
If not those two, then would make at&suck next in line.
Sprint is God awful round here.
Sent from a galaxy far away!
If rooted I'm sure there will be ways to force roam on Verizon.
@OP If the quality of the camera is the only thing your concerned with, I really wouldn't worry. HTC nailed with the evo lte camera and by all accounts the ONEs camera is better again

as mentioned sold the SGS3, ordered the Black, changed my mind ordered two Silver Ones......hopefully one of them will be a keeper.
Current interim solution - HTC Hero.......
I'm due a free upgrade, so am keeping my 16GB S3, purchasing a 64gb SDcard and using the S3 purely as an mp3 player. The Wolfson dac is more than excellent.
Will then keep the storage on the One free of music and ensure the 32GB version is more than sufficient for apps and videos/photo.

That's nothing, I'm using my girlfriends old lumia 610 and of course it's a pink one.. ~4 weeks to get ONE :crying:
Having spent time with both, the S3 has more features but I mean when really uses them? The One is a more clean and simple phone with a premium feel. For me personally its hit the sweet spot
another sammy user here, moving from galaxy note to htc one! hell yeah.. i tried the device during a preview here and was absolutely blown away!! gonna be amazing!
Same. Waiting for black 64gb to replace my s3
Now if we all fall in love with HTC and sense and don't go back to Samsung in the near future, I can say that this is their fault for not developing a new design from sg3
Got so disappointed when I saw the unboxing and don't intend to buy a Samsung again.
Since I expect their sales to decrease a lot compared to sg3, they might come with a awesome phone next year. But by then it might be too late cuz everybody who tests sense after been using touchwiz, won't turn back again.

Hi,
im looking at a Motorola Droid RAZR M XT907, without contract, carrier verizon on ebay
could anyone confirm that this is fully unlocked to work on all gsm 900/1800, hsdpa 900/2100 worldwide (as it says in the listing), im considering getting one to use in nz.
looking for something more compact and light than a moto g for basic use
thanks
He speaks the truth ...
cool, i've just bought a moto g but it's a bit large and heavy, especially in the pocket, it seems I could do just as much with this phone as im not into media or games so the screen size and res isn't that important,
do you think i'd regret it?
thanks
I know the moto g has really good battery life and was reviewed on YouTube by some woman (forgot name) but in the video the phone lasted over 30 or 60 minutes in a sink full of water. Personally I'd go for the newer device as the RAZR m is starting to get outdated, although we are getting kitkat, it still is a fairly old phone.

Ah yes Erica griffin, as he said old phones on kk aren't as great as new phones on it
Sent from my LT30p using Tapatalk
Motorola Droid Mini is more compact and light, also more modern than the M and faster than the Moto G. It has the same rez screen as the G.
It's the replacement for the RAZR M and they come GSM unlocked with no need to flip bits in NV memory like the M.
One with a bad ESN/IMEI would be cheaper and should work for you in NZ.
Battery life is not great on KK though. I've heard it was better on JB, but I think I had JB on my Mini all of 2-hours. Also can't be rooted on KK unless it was rooted on JB and root preserved when updated to KK.
Razr M is a nice phone, why don't you also check swappa.com , can find find better phones there.
