[slickrick777]

[slickrick777]

[EFFECTIC DESIGNS]

well in the process of buying a new smartphone...what would be the best choice?...checking out the htc one x, iphone 4s, xperia s, etc...ne suggestions?

Best right now is HTC one x. But I feel the s3 will be better

Yeah the iPhone wins in apps and more mature is. But at the end of the day with that tiny screen what's the point. You can't use that so its useless for me. With options like super amoled screen and a whole inch bigger it just is so much better than a iphone

Hmmm. I was actually considering an iPhone 4 or 4s. Could you give some more details on this? Does it lag when multitasking?

the 4S does not lag when multitasking. I run all my apps everyday and i use it at work via vnc and my other apps and to date no probs
factory unlocked not jailbroken

infact i even upgraded to the ipad3 just to allow for a bigger screen.

i used the sgs2 and i found it laggy especially in fluency

my s2 doesnt lag at all.... especially with the custom rom i have. Battery life 2-3 days with moderate to heavy use.

[slickrick777]

that's the nokia 808...rather big and bulky...not too sure if i'll need 41megapixels...lol...d htc one x has quad core processing as well as an additional processor for the camera standalone...making this ting a serious powerhouse...5 cores in all...from the reviews on youtube looks worthy way past the i5!

[COROLLA KID]

Im an Android man so I will say The Samsung Galaxy Nexus 4G LTE or any other android phone running on the Android 4.0 platform known as Ice Cream Sandwich.........
but the next best thing is the I Phone 4S, super responsive touch screen and great 3D graphics performance

Bottom line is....droid or drink the apple kool-aid

[slickrick777]

My BB 9700 working good still.

[slickrick777]

iphone cud be running better but that screen size sucks!...d htc one x running ics as well...also the galaxy s3 gonna be running this too...thing is which one would be the better of the 2?

The two things I ever wanted in a smartphone, dedicated media player buttons (so I don't need to keep my IPOd wth me all the time) and connectivity to a computer so I could type long arse texts, and access my adress book and call logs was best implemented in the Nokia 5700 with symbian. No phone to date has ever suited my needs that well. And WTF... all of these phones are just black bricks now!!!... no style at all. My E51, while not the best media player, had more going for it than most phones these days as my workhorse.... except the small screen.

[crazybalhead]

Indeed, big black bricks.

*You read that wrong*

You could still get new Nokia E71/E72 which can do what you want. I am happy with my white E71, which coincidentally, is connected to my computer right now for the same reasons you stated.

[RBphoto]

That's great and all, but I want some other modern featurs as well, such as better performance, and modern apps, touchscreen etc. I was also considering the nokia N8 as my secondary phone to my BB because of the great camera it has, has symbian so can do what I want, and well... it's a nokia, so should be hard as nails. Still holding out a while to see if any new phone comes out with the computer connectivity I need.

[slickrick777]

well d nokia lumina and sony experia s have alot going on for them...looks sleek!

[slickrick777]

well getting the one x tomorrow...will upload some pics and some reviews on it when i get it...screen quality, speed, etc!

[acesinghit]

after checking gsm arena, the top phones out there (in terms of features/technology content) are:

apple iphone 4s
samsung galaxy note
nokia lumia 800
sony ericsson experia arc s
htc titan 11
blackberry torch 9860
huawei ascend d1
asus padfone
dell streak pro d43
sharp aquos sh80f
toshiba windows phone is12t
pantech vega lte ex im-a820l
zte era
vertu constellation

VERDICT:

Besides Apple's iPhone 4s; Blackberry's Torch 9860 and the Nokia Lumia 800/Toshiba Windows Phone IS12T for their individual OS greatness (iOS, BB OS7 and MS Windows Phone 7), the real competitive war for Technical greatness lies with an Andriod phone.

The Samsung Galaxy line is hard to beat. If the Note is too big then the S11 line is impressive in features/performance. The Sony Ericsson Experia Arc S is another impressive device rated alongside the Galaxy.

Smartphone OS market share:

47.3% - Google Andriod
29.6% - Apple
16% - Research In Motion
4.7% - Microsoft
1.4% - Symbian

Smartphone device market share:

26.6% - All other brands
23.5% - Apple
22.8% - Samsung
12.4% - Nokia
10.8% - HTC
6.5% - RIM/BB
Source: IDC (February 2012)

With Nokia practically ditching Symbian for Microsoft, RIM's very dark future of constant sales declines. It seems the market would more look like Apple vs Andriod or Apple vs Samsung or Sony since HTC does not have the resources to remotely target Samsung or topple them.

see what on the list you can source locally

That list has been in a horrible mess for quite some time due to fanboys placing thousands of high votes for their favorites and 'downvoting' the competition.

...all of these phones are just black bricks now!!!... no style at all. My E51, while not the best media player, had more going for it than most phones these days as my workhorse.... except the small screen.

nah man how could you say that..... the iphone comes in white too

note to fanboys: Im just kidding, I have a 4s in front of me at the moment next to a Nexus S and a N8 so theres no hate, each has its strengths and weaknesses and I simply cant put one above the rest.

seriously though newer devices have a lot more to offer, I agree that the E51 is a very capable old phone but I replaced mine with a N8 and never looked back, its leagues ahead and I even dare say that the Belle OS is pretty much on par with Android and IOS.
