Depends on what you want out of an Android phone. You can't buy the Nexus One directly from Google, you can with the Nexus S though (and Best Buy). I still have the Nexus One and I really don't see myself even considering the S due to the lack of things I need (FFC is useless, plastic throws me off).
So if I buy N1 would it be upgradable to honeycomb? And is it fast compare to x10? That's what I currently have?

I have the nexus one, but if i could choose now - I'll definitely go for the Nexus S without a doubt.
The touch screen on the nexus one is abysmal. It has multiple freezing issues, and a boatload of bugs that no one is bothering to fix. It's also much slower than the S... i've had a play on my brother's S, and it's so smooth, responsive.. amazing phone.
Also, you're guaranteed to survive at least 1 Android upgrade with the Nexus S, seeing as it's the flagship google dev phone as of now. The nexus one... not sure how much longer it can go. probably a while, but that would be do to the mod community and not the official channels.
Go Nexus S and don't look back.

Yes it will. You are basically comparing phones with the same hardware, both 1 GHz, 480 x 800, 5 MP, capacitive buttons, etc. Updates should be reasonably quick depending on how Andy Rubin runs things.
Oh and the major difference being that the Nexus One has dual noise canceling mics, phones calls are going to be crisp and better for the person on the other end. The Nexus S has a front facing camera, once Skype gets on Android, it might take off.
I have the Nexus One and my wife has the Nexus S. Neither is rooted. I find the USER EXPERIENCE on the Nexus S to be MUCH BETTER than the Nexus One. Larger and brighter display that you can use outside. Not the fingerprint magnet the Nexus One is. Much smoother touch screen experience. And I don't know what all the fuss is about the plastic case vs the metal case. I find it very sturdy and it even feels better in your hand. It's faster at almost everything. You can even hear the speakerphone. Don't get me wrong, I love my Nexus One. But if some one ask me if i would trade it for a Nexus S... Without any hesitation YES!

Fingerprinting on the battery door. If you get fingerprints all over the Nexus One battery door, I am surprised. On the Nexus S, not so much.
I had the n1 one for about a year and upgraded to the nexus s just 2 weeks ago. I find the battery life to be amazing (full day normal use) on the nexus s. The most important improvement has been the touch screen, not cause i play games, but for typing. I noticed that im making less mistakes on the nexus s and my speed has gone up substantially, i also had gingerbread on my n1.
Go with the Motorola Atrix or a new tablet.

Tablets are for sick people.
Both Nexus phones are great and both have their problems...but nothing is perfect!
I had the nexus S for about two weeks before I had to return it since T-Mobile service is horrible where I live.
I've gotta say that the S is better in most aspects. The screen is amazingly bright and easy to read in sunlight. The screen also registers fast typing much better, so I make a lot less mistakes.
Stock gingerbread is so fast and smooth.
However I didn't like the glossy plastic construction on the NS. It was a fingerprint magnet. Also, the quality control on new units were terrible.

Hello, I have a droidx and am finally tired of the locked bootloader. I was thinking of getting the dinc but wanted to get some peoples input first about the dinc.

This is the best phone I've ever had and it's super easy to root. My only issue after having it for almost a year is the screen has started feeling to small to me. I wish it had a 4 inch screen. Other than that and the terrible battery life with the stock battery it is an amazing phone.
Here's a thread with a rather similar topic with some very good points made in it:

Thanx guys, after reading the stuff from the link I think im gonna get the dinc for now until I qualify for an upgrade : )

I was debating between Inc, DX and Fascinate when it came time to upgrade for me... I'm soooooo glad I went with the incredible. I knew it would be a gamble with the DX and its locked bootloader and the fascinate was still a new entity at this point and I wasn't sure if the homebrew scene would explode like it had for the evo/incredible. In the end my reservations proved correct; the droid x never got fully unlocked and the fascinate scene never took off.
Make the switch. You'll love the vast selection of roms and kernels and what-have-yous. As mentioned battery life is behind other devices, which is why I highly recommend the 1500mah Evo battery (fits in our case just barely) as well as the 2150mah incredible battery (comes with a bigger backplate, adds bulk but is widely accepted as worth it). Both are OEM, not third party. I have both and alternate between the two, charging the one I'm not using on a seidio external battery charger (the inc also has some charging issues, this circumvents that). I'm unsure if the latest kernels have solved the charging issues, but it is highly possible.

The Dinc is awesome. Highly recommend it.
i just made the same switch. i had a few great roms on the Droid X including Liberty, but i hated the random reboots and freezes that plagued me even with the stock rom. i think the droid incredible is one of the best androids out there. i've got a Sense 2.0 rom, with a white battery cover and a 1500 mah battery. great combo. good luck!
My dad actually has a droid x, while I have the incredible. I was trying to help him with getting a custom kernel but found there are none at all for the droid x, and only 2-3 ROM's. Pretty big letdown considering the incredible currently has about 10 different kernels and over 40 or so ROM's.
The new kernel and ROM's gotten from here has hugely helped in terms of performance and battery life, so although droid x is rated to have a battery that lasts longer, my incredible passes up my dad's phone by hours- even with more use out of it. Motorolla Blur is a big slowdown on his phone too, still trying to help him out with getting the bloat off his phone- but the community is considerably smaller than the incredible's.
thanx for all the replies guys I'm deffinately going to switch asap so hopefully I can find one for cheap bc I don't qualify for an upgrade yet : /

I just made the switch, and am very happy. Although check out both the AMOLED screen and the SLCD. I couldn't use the AMOLED because of the pen-tile matrix that made it look horrible coming from the X which had a great screen.
You might want to try no find someone on craigslist who wanted to trade. Thats what I did, and it worked out great.

I wish I had the choice between AMOLED and SLCD when I got mine. I feel that for my uses the SLCD is superior, but I've learned to appreciate what the AMOLED has to offer. For instance, the biggest flaw of the AMOLED (pentile) can also be a boon of sorts. Because of it's interlacing effect, old school roms like SNES games look far better on AMOLED screens due to their similarities with old tube televisions which hid much of the jagginess/low resolution artifacts. So amoled screens generally make older games look great since they blur the edges and hide the low res imperfections, just like our 1992 CRT televisions did. And that's not even mentioning the vibrant color reproduction enhancing the image further.
However, Samsung solved the AMOLED issue. They just revealed their new pixel arrangement for new SAMOLED screens which has the crystal clear effect of an LCD screen along with the vibrant colors we're used to. Still, I feel glad I own one of these legacy AMOLEDs for the reasons stated above.
The general rule of thumb (IMO) is if you do lots of web surfing/text reading, SLCD is superior. Current gen amoleds only excel in the games/media department.

I also did not get the X because of it being rather large. The incredible was more compact and that was initially why I went with it.
You may want to think again before getting the T-Bolt:
http://androidcommunity.com/htc-thu...ored-to-be-due-to-poor-battery-life-20110228/
If it's going to get worse battery life than the incredible, there's no way I would ever consider buying it.
i exchanged my DInc for an X thinking it would be better. wrong. 3 days later i was back on my Dinc. best phone i have ever had. the X was just too awkward for me to hold.
1800mah batt, white batery door, root and whatever ROM i feel like today= 1 very satisfied DInc owner.

My opinion, but the DInc blows the DX away as far as screen quality. Small pixels / white on black text caused the display to flicker the words. It was incredibly annoying.
I totally agree, Love my Dinc but the battery sucks. Easy to Root.
I bought my wife the X and I am not very impressed with it.
You might wait a few weeks and get the new Thunderbolt.
So this is my plan, im going to get a dinc for now unil I qualify for an upgrade in a year. Once I get the upgrade ill upgrade to something more spectacular at that point if I choose

Hi guys,
I am now a Htc Desire user. I used it for 2 years and I am considering buying a Note. I am coming from a 3.7 to a 5.3 inch screen ;-).
I have a couple of questions:
1. Do you have experience with the change of phones from a very small size like the desire to a note, screenwize? And what is your opinion about it.
2. I used to use a lot of roms for my desire, the development was really good. How is the development of the Note? What are the improvements if you root, other than that you can change roms? So what extra functionality does the note get if you root?
3. What about the build quality and the quality of the speaker?
4. What about the quality of playing movies on the Note.
As you can see i have a couple of questions before purchasing the note.
THANKS!!!

After a day with the Note, you get really comfortable with it, and then you will never like a small screen again.
2. I used to use a lot of roms for my desire, the development was really good. How is the development of the Note? What are the improvements if you root, other than that you can change roms? So what extra functionality does the note get if you root?
Development is good. Root and Roms are the same as what you are use to on the desire.
3. What about the build quality and the quality of the speaker?
Build quality is solid. Its plastic, but it tight. The speaker is loud, especially when compared to the One X
4. What about the quality of playing movies on the Note.
I don't play many, but I enjoy the quality. Better than any other phone I have had.
Battery life gets me through my long 16 hour day with ease. Top notch
As you can see i have a couple of questions before purchasing the note.

If you think you will like the screen size, than you will immediate fall in love. If you are thinking it may be too big, than there is a tiny chance the size will put you off, but still you will most likely fall in love.
Roms are very decent, better than many of my previous phones for sure. Right now we are looking at official CM9 soon, iMilka's (discontinued) versions of AOSP and CM9 are pretty amazing all on their own though.
Build quality is basically the same as every other Samsung smart phone I have used. Very good quality, back plastics feel a little cheap to me, but other than that I have no complaints. Speaker is awesome IMO. One of the loudest phones I have owned and very good quality. The earpiece is somewhere in the middle. It's not amazing, but its good.
Watching movies/videos/games on the note is incomparable. It blows every other phone I have tried out of the water, mostly due to screen size, and my personal taste for Super AMOLED over that crap screen HTC uses (again my opinion).
Battery life - AWESOME. I get better battery life with this phone than any previous smart phone I have owned (see sig). It's still a powerful smartphone so if you use it really heavy you can still kill most of it off in a day, but with moderate usage this phone actually lasts 2 days for me, which none of my previous phones could do.
I had a desire for 18 months them I moved to the HTC sensation I got my note 3 days ago and I had the same concerns as you but I do not regret it one bit I love my phone more than any phone I have ever had

Note works perfect.

I would say go for it then, the chances of you being disappointed are less than 1% from the sounds of your concerns and needs.
The Note is truly an amazing phone, so much so that I have 0 interest in the upcoming S3 or the One X etc.. I will be holding off for "Note 2" and even then unless something changes I see absolutely no reason to move to another phone. The Note on ICS is blazing fast.
I realized I almost stopped visiting/reading mobile review sites. No interest in S3. I may skip Note2 too and directly go for Note3.

If you like it at start you will be in total love in the end.. It grows on you...
When you have use a Note for a few weeks you will have hard let it go or use other phones.
I always get the new phones but in the end it is always my Note that stays and follow me everywhere..

Some do and some don't. I returned my Note because of it. It really is a great device though which made the return a very tough decision.
Guys thanks for all the replies. I decided to buy the note but one last question.
Which colour should i get? Anyone bad experience with the black or white version? And bad experience in terms of seeing scratches etc.
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium
Although I'm not a Note owner, I'd like to share my opinion if you don't mind.
Black colors always show scratches more than white. However, deeper the cut the more it shows.
You can always buy a case If you're not completely satisfied with the color too.

I have owned silver/black devices all my life until the note. Im a manly man, and thought white was for girls.
I decided to change my sgs2 from black to white when i decided to sell because it brought in more money. After seeing the white version, it openmy eyes.
I did the same conversion with my note after breaking screen(user error) and love the white even better than the black/blue now.
Just from what ive gathered from people is black makes the device seem bigger.

Don't be afraid to get your feet wet as the water is lovely and warm,
the difference is immense between the HTC desire and samsung s2 and note, I had the desire hd and I wouldn't go back to one, I upgraded to an s2 and won't go back to a dhd then I upgraded to a note and now I won't go back to an dhd or an s2, honest you won't be disappointed, also I will have more roms than you can shake a stick at, especially the s2.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
I had been an HTC desire user myself. Its a good phone. When you are looking for an upgrade, think you have to take a look at the S3 in terms of
- advancements
- stock ics
- screen size (4.7in) with good ppi compared to S2.
- maybe better battery life (due to larger battery ,better processor)
If you are looking of good development in the XDA
- i will suggest to take a look at the S2 section as there is gr8 development.
I like my G-Note but would suggest the size of S3 or even the S2 as appropriate for a smartphone.
I've had the white and loved it. I had to sell for financial reasons, but recently picked up a black one and honestly there both beautiful. A nice sgp screen protector takes the worry out of scratches so either choice is great. Black to me looks professional and white looks Hollywood your amazed every time you see it
Hey,
I have had my one x since release day, but now it is in a bad way.
The screen has become partially delaminated, allowing dirt into the screen and causing a section of the touch screen to not function. The back is also very scratched.
Assuming I can do the repair myself, the parts would cost around £115.
My question is, should I get a nexus 4 or would I be in any way downgrading?
I could do my best to disguise the problems (clean under screen and reseal) and I might get around £150 from a recycling company.
A few things to note are that I love stock android and the idea of getting updates almost instantly.
I also don't think I would need more than 16gb given the use of Google drive and 35gb of Dropbox.
I do however love my phones screen and the community for the One X.
Anyway, I would love to hear people's opinions and have discussions about this as choosing my phone is one of the most important decisions I have to make haha.

Inspite of its design shortcuts and glass back, the n4 is a good deal.
If your device is shot, I'd say get one.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I'm not sure whether I like the idea of a glass back. To be honest, whilst the plastic on my phone is battered the screen is still completely pristine.
Unless it is found to be super fragile, I would welcome the addition of more glass.
Does anyone know how the screen on the n4 compares to the one X?
It's on par with the X, it beats it in certain areas vice versa but One X probably has the better screen that's not saying the IPS on the N4 is bad as it's just as good.
However you lose a bit of screen estate due to the on screen buttons.

Yes most of the reviews state its not as good as all the other phones. But it's decent according to the reviews. Just check out the sample shots on various sites and see if you can live with the results.
One X camera isn't bad at all for a mobile device, the Nokia 920 and iphone 5 beat the HOX camera.

I think I have just two more questions. When will it stop receiving updates first? Does the nexus s or galaxy nexus still get updates first or do they have to wait?
Also, how easy it to to root and install kernels etc? The one was a hassle and I had to void my warranty.

Not sure about the first question as I've never had a Nexus device but I'm sure they are still getting updates.
Unlocking a Nexus device is the most simplest simple command and your done, so it should be a breeze installing roms and kernels and shouldn't affect warranty like the HOX does I believe as it's a developers phone end of the day.
I for one will be getting one to try out hopefully on release day if permitting. Getting a bit angry with the HOX battery life it can last me through the day but when I start using it dies quickly.

Good point. The battery will be much better on the N4 since it's a 28nm cpu.
Well honestly.. You seem to have a rugged lifestyle, or is real rough on your phones. I would suggest you get something more like the Casio commando phone.
I don't think the n4 would be good for kids in school, or anything that could possibly harm a glass bodied phone.
But as a backup, out going out phone, sure. Plus the price is right, and wouldn't hurt you too bad if you are stuck in a contract.

I honestly couldn't suggest it, if you do a lot of bike riding, or if it's you're main source of transportation.
You Europeans do a lot more bike riding than us lazy Americans though, I think the price of gas has a lot to do with it.
I remember when I bought my evo, I was floored when I found out that someone in the UK basically paid double what I did, after vat.
My sensation would be great for bike riding, since the gorilla glass screen curves inward to avoid scratches, and the battery cover is the whole phone case, just get a new one for 30 bucks when the old one gets scuffed up. Battery life is meh, though.

Hello all!
Question - As far as I understood - Menu Buttons are on-screen.
That means Menu Buttons are taking a lil' of the 4,7 inch screen?????, so that actually the usable screen without buttons is smthng like 4,6 or so?
Or rephrased:
Is the usable part of screen bigger in the case of the HOX than in Nexus 4?
I don't know what to do to be honest.... i could sell my hox for smthing like nearly 350 Euros, and hopefully i would get a Nexus 4 for it....
But is it really worth???
Pluses of the HOX in my opinion over the Nexus:
1. Sense
2. Screen + Camera
3. Beats Equalizer
4. HOX community
Now... I would change it for a Nexus 4 for the following reasons:
1. Updates directly from Google
2. Phone designed together with google, so it will be their hardware reference when google issues an android upgrade
3. Design (Glass-back)
4. 2gb of RAM and better processor
Now, to be honest I miss iOS in terms of buttery user interface, clean interface, no force-closes, etc.
I don't want to switch again to iOS, but it would be nice to find something alike in an android....
I had the best experience with the HOX for a sense ROM, and with i9100 a very fine experience with CM9.
I am searching for THE Android device.... Is Nexus it?
If not, then I would bet on the next flagship from HTC (not the HOX+, but the next one).
Samsung is totally out of the question due to it's cheap recycled-plastic design!

Kinda have to comment on this. I can GUARANTEE you that within a month or so the Nexus will have better community support, its 75% of the reason i got rid of my HOX and went back to my old Galaxy S. Granted the HOX community is much more established now, but nothing beats Nexus devices for community and devs and so on.
Best - size of screen/device, battery life, and speed
Worst - lack of development
The bad: Screen resolution
The good: Everything else

Best: size and speed.
Worst: Screen burn-in. 3 months old and there is a slight blue haze where the nav bar is usually located when a white app is in fullscreen (like chrome). i can also see my home, back, and recent apps incons in that haze. Modded mine to fullscreen now to try and combat the burn-in.
Best: size battery life and responsiveness
Worst: pentile screen and that nasty screen door effect and low resolution.

Best thing for me is the size and the price.
Worst thing is the screen but I knew that when I got it.
Going from a Droid 2 global;
Best: Size, battery life.
Worst: the amount of internal memory.
Other. Wish there was more development

Best: size, speed, BATTERY LIFE, fast and dependable Verizon 4g, unobtrusive and simple stock ROM
Worst: the edges of screen are hard to touch with most cases (for swipepad, typing, or switching tabs on Chrome), screen resolution, INTERNAL MEMORY WITH NO APP2SD, weird lag when i get texts that makes the ring occur a second or two after the vibrate

Best: SIZE IS PERFECT, battery life, reception, hotspot throughput
Worst: the amount of internal memory, keyboard difficult to type on, sound quality for music playback could be a lot better (even after latest update), the rough bezel hurts my ear when I'm on calls
I wouldn't recommend this phone to anyone, and I've been hard core moto droid since this start.
Best-size
Worst-it was development but now that it's unlocked there's been some recent activity (I'm running cm10.1) now I would have to say screen. I can get used to it until i pick up my gnex...the ppi is just a little too low.
To everyone that is upset about the internal memory you really need to set shortcuts for apps to use extSDcard, I use ROM tool box but you can use most file explorers.

Yeah, link2sd working well for me. There's ways around it
And for typing, try SwiftKey with flow. Never looked back

SwiftKey with flow is a good addition to this phone. Love it
Good : battery life and size.
Bad : my screen keeps doing the damn jitterbug.

Good: size is beyond awesome, stats are pretty nice, stock ROM is *almost* AOSP. 4g is nice. Battery is epic. Build quality and design are awesome.
Bad: locked down Verizon, that's annoying. internal storage. Scratches on outside bevel are amazingly irritating to the eyes (yes, really trying hard to find something wrong so I'm being nitpicky), not a quad core
Oh and NFC is nifty

Best - screen size, battery life, durability, performance
Worst - all I really have to say is that the stock moto launcher is great, but lacking a few things and hiccups in some areas. I switched to nova launcher but I would prefer stock moto if it ran as smoothly as it should.
Also Swype just came out of beta and is (was? ) on the store for 99c. It may be the best keyboard I've ever used. Give it a try

The Good: compact, battery life, powerfull but efficient hardware, almost pure android and phone design.
The Bad: only real complaint is the pentile amoled screen, RGB would have been better.
All in all, its a great phone for my needs/wants.:good:
Coming from a LG Nexus 4...(don't ask)
Pro's: Size size size! SPeaker is pretty loud too. oh and I can wash it when it gets dirty ( but YOU should not do that with your phone)
cons: Battery is ok on GSM. there is not many people who have this phone so not that many roms....
although all i really use is CyanogenMod... but even that...

Out of curiosity what are you comparing the M's battery life to? My SGS 3 got 2-3 hours of screen time on before needing to be plugged in and my M gets like 5-6 easy. I'm on Verizon but I can't imagine being on s GSM network being a huge difference if any.
Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk 2
Yes comparing to cdma. I get like 3-4hrs screen time max

Good: Perfect screen size. Battery is pretty good. Speed (I have never once had any lag on any app or game). Price.
Bad: Not the greatest reception or 4g. And I live in the DC Metro area where none of my other friends have 4g signal issues. Although I have heard that some signal issues were addressed with 4.1.2. (I'm on 4.1.1)
My non-Android friends are usually impressed with the phone for its price and quality. My diehard iPhone fiance can't wait till her contract is up because she really wants an M and is tired of the issues she's had with her Apple device.
