A lady friend of mine wants to ditch her iPhone and cum party with the android boys.
HD2 is an obvious suggestion, but I think its a bit geeky for her. I will probably put cyanogen on it for her, but that will be it; no flashing new roms every week.
So what would you guys recommend? Front runners at the moment are :
Nexus S
White desire
PS in the uk

You can be sure of a lot of attention with that topic
Don't use any android flashed device for your sexy blonde, Iphone is more sexy, but indeed less geeky
The Nexus S is by far the sexiest Android device and currently the best on the market IMO,
I'd get a Nexus S.
The second sexiest device ever IMO is the Nexus One, which is actually better in some ways because it can run Sense.
so you might get a Nexus One, root it, flash a stable DHD ROM and you're good to go. remember that along with the awesome things it has to offer, it also has the multi-color lighted track ball, my girlfriend is crazy about that aspect of her Nexus.

Haha, thanks for replies.
I think its a bit silly to buy iPhone 4 now with the update so close. Also iPhones are significantly more expensive (buying similar free)
Also considering desire s.
I wonder if its worth the extra money getting the nexus s when you can get an original desire and put cyanogen on it.
Will deliver pics with purchase....

I have to say, for stock user experience, the best android phone you can get is the nexus s. So far there have been no "big" problems with it, atleast currently.
However I think for overall satisfaction, i'd go for the galaxy s. If rooted and with lagfixes/tweaks and flashed a custom rom, the phone is a really nice and smooth.
However one thing i'd say about the HD2 is it's so hackable, you can try WP7, winmo or android, all on one phone. The experience might not be as good as a true android/WP7 device, but it's good enough for daily use. Plus I think it has a top of the class 5MP camera. Atleast it performs alot better than the captivate i'm using right now.

Linkage of said lady friend?

htc desire hd has got the sensation rom port:
http://phandroid.com/2011/04/15/desire-hd-gets-sensation-rom-port/
now i guess it becomes more easy to port to n1.
it consists of lots of new widgets ,icons and animations specially.....
and its gingerbread......
lets see how much time it takes for the porting of sensation rom to nexus one.
guys inform the great developers out there to have a look...
:-D
great...
I hope someone can port it to our n1
Here's an easier download, the chinese one isn't the easiest to navigate.
Sorrry, but do you think this will be ported? No dev has been found to port desire s Rom entirely. This is a dead child in think...

desire s doesnt had much to offer . but this one is great....
i think this sense ui is better than ios in animations.....
so miui loving ppl might also consider this in addition to sense lovers....
I hope this one catches fire. I have been dying waiting for a solid Gingerbread + Sense build.

I'll try to get it booting tomorrow, just for the sake of seeing that beautiful lookscreen of Sense 3.0 in action.
I'll post my results.
i love my nexus as much as anyone, but folks, it's time to get a new phone if you want dev results. nobody cares about it now, and with the sensation, g2x ,etc coming out, it's going to be further in the dust. i may keep it just as a token of the first great android phone, or i may sell it, but the sensation is my next phone.
this rom dump is f'n HUGE lol look at that file size, i don't think it could ever make it onto the n1, and if it did it'd probably be slow as dirt.
nice to hear that,great job

Ok so here we go,I plan on getting a new phone with Tmobile. gonna give this one to my mom, as a Christmas gift (lame I know). It's either the galaxy s2, the sensation or the amaze. What are yall views, ofcourse Ima root it.
From my fist to your face, enjoy!
Galaxy S II !!! imma a fanboy lol
MyTouch HD (Black)
Kernel demonspeed v7
lagfree 1516Ghz - 768Mhz
Edited Build Prop
Beats Audio
Gingerbread 2.3.5
Dark Side Sense 3.3 !
Sensation.
It's a hell of a lot cheaper than the Amaze and the specs are only marginally weaker.
And you have way better dev support so you'll have the best ROM's.
With the SGS2 you're stuck with Samsung providing you with updates.
HTC SENSATION ALL THE WAY MAN!!!
wayyy better development, i don't know how many times better than the Galaxy SII, and doesn't lose to the HTC Amaze one bit (well, maybe a little...). plus, it's cheaper
price isnt a problem with me, i make almost 300 a week. i do like the sensation,amazing dev section. the s2 stats are very impressive,while the amaze's camera options are pretty cool.
I have the s4g and love it. Overclocked to 1.5 and I got the amaze cam mod so this phone is just as good as thee amaze. But on the other hand is the sgs2 nice phone but I don't like the whole samsung ui. I like sense. That is all on opinion though. The s4g is cheaper than the other two and im sure we will see ics.

I've been stuck between sgs2 and amaze myself. But I am leaning amaze because of the resolution difference.
You should go to both sections and read on the vs threads they have. Some are biased but they give you good points of view on both. I think it usually ends up with...
Resolution, ui, screen, and build. speed is virtually the same. I think both parties don't bother with sensation anymore as many of them actually upgraded from it.

Shouldn't be hard... I got one that I don't even use cause the battery life sucks, but its my backup if this phone poops...
As much as I love htc, after the qc problems with mt4g, I'm going to get sgs2. I'm in the same boat about to upgrade and it seemedto me that more people were happy going from amaze/sensa to sgs2.
Thats just me.

Well after playing with the galaxy note i bought for my gf a few days ago, i decided i couldn't take it any longer so i went to phones 4 u and asked what they could do for me. They have paid what i had left on my contract 7 months early for me and given me a galaxy s2 for free on a £20.50 p/m orange contract.
Not a bad deal i don't think.
I'll still pop in every now and then though as i still have a wildfire at home and dont want to get rid of my introduction to android, thanks to everyone that has shared anything i used and for teaching me how to get the best out of my phone.

I was just about to post another thread but oh well
Yesterday I received my HTC One S on contracts, 25.92 p/m for 12 months, 260 or something upfront.D) I've always loved Willy, he is the best legend to date and I don't think I can sell him
Being with Willy has been a rollercoaster, I learnt about rooting through it, my first two roots were with two Wildfires. I couldn't take Sense anymore, so I got CM7, and then eventually we got CM9!! (Well done to Erwin, if I can find his donation link I will most definitely donate)
I'll still hang around on the CM9 thread and a few others, though now I'll mostly post on the One S forums, hope to see you guys there
cya
Congrats! See ya around on the S2 section!
Bye scratch and thanks to all your work.
We'll all definitely miss you here

Thanks everyone and Congrats on the one s mate, hope you enjoy it as much as i am the s2. I thought id wait a little while before rooting but ended up rooting it today, its a bit confusing reading all the info but i ended up doing it in 3 and a half minutes without even touching my pc........
First flashed temp cwm from stock recovery, then flashed supersu to get root, after that boot into recovery and flashed siyah kernel. Full cwm, root and plenty of tweaks to play with. Just need to decide on a Rom now.
Oh...... The note is a real beast of a phone, hope you have big hands our lass doesn't.

Thanks everyone and scratch, I haven't managed to root mine yet - we don't have Revolutionary yet, and I'm scared if I root it using HTCDev they won't take my phone in for service if I ever need it. And there aren't many ROMs, most are Sense 4.0 based, except for the Alpha 10 CM9 port!

Why did you buy a HTC One V? It's nearly the same only worse camera, less RAM, but a bigger battery. Doesn't make sense to me. You should've saved that money for something better, like One S :-/

The backlight flicker has been resolved in recent updates.
Battery life is very decent imo. With the right ROM and Kernel you can get a very good battery life.
S-OFF hasn't been a disadvantage for the HOX community. We're able to flash custom ROMs and kernels very easily.
However, the only reasons I would agree with you on the HOX not being the best phone in the market today are:
- Not having a microSD slot
- and the battery being irreplaceable.
Bye
Have fun with the next one!!
Ok. The reason I got a One V is because all the other phones were 300$+ for it. The One V is 150$. And after using it, I've noticed that it is overall better than the Desire HD. Despite, having smaller screen, smaller camera, and less RAM, it just feels so much better than the Desire HD. Its alot smoother too.

You went for a downgrade!?
DHD has much better specs all around. DHD was a flagship phone by HTC. If you want to "upgrade" you should consider the current flagship, which is One X or wait for the upcoming one.
Anyway, I'm glad to hear you got your DHD back. You did the right thing.
Simple rule. Thought DHD has crossed warranty period so if I get half of the price I can get another HTC without adding anything. But we are foolish to think that way.
