[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] broken flyer:
Hi, everybody... I'm new here, but have been following the phone scene for months and its just killing me trying to decide what to do:eek: Currently i have a Samsung Intercept running android 2.2 that i've had over a year now. At the point when i bout that phone i had no knowledge of cell phones what so ever and was simply buying what i thought was decent and cheap. At that point i thought iPhone was king and that i was settling for android. Little did i know how wrong i was.;) Over my year with this phone despite it being low spec and very cheap i have come to love android and can't imagine giving in to the clutches of apple.

Short Version: I need to get a new phone very very soon. I can't decide between the flagships(and if i go flagships which one do i want) aka SGS3(US), HTC One X(US), SGS3(Int), HTC One X(Int), Sony Xperia S(ICS now), Sony Xperia Ion (wait for ICS update 1st), the best "values", Sony Xperia Arc S(ICS and $269 shipped), Motorola Droid Razr XT910 (no ICS yet and $419.99), Galaxy Nexus (about to get Jelly Bean, pure android(i greatly dislike skins) and $399), and then there's the dreaming aspect(meaning should i just continue holding out for what i really want), and what i really want is, vanilla android(ICS or newer), on screen keys, maxx size battery, S4 processor(or equivalent), 12+ mega pixel camera(or high quality lower pixel count as i know pixels isnt everything), HD screen, and a cool design. What do you all think other than i'm over thinking this whole deal?:p Thanks...

Long Detailed Version: Around May or April i started looking for phone replacement options. I had my heart set on a razr maxx and i was planning to switch to verizon(i was and currently am on virgin mobile). Then i went home from the Verizon store planning to order a raz maxx and switch with in the week when low and behold i mistakenly found a thread on the Razr HD. At that point the rumors were that'd it be out with in a month so i was going to wait for it. While waiting i continued researching every possible thing about current/future cellphones that i could. One thing that i found that i'm glad i did was the straight talk sim card program. My current plan is to get a micro sim from them asap, port my number and activate my service with them and then use that card with whatever phone i decide to purchase. The problem is i can't decide. Usually i hate to ask for advice on something as personal as deciding what phone is the best for that person but i am at my wits end after pondering the question for months. Needless to say, I need to get a new phone very very soon and I can't decide between the flagships(and if i go flagships which one do i want) aka SGS3(US), HTC One X(US), SGS3(Int), HTC One X(Int), Sony Xperia S(ICS now), Sony Xperia Ion (wait for ICS update 1st), the best "values", Sony Xperia Arc S(ICS and $269 shipped), Motorola Droid Razr XT910 (no ICS yet and $419.99), Galaxy Nexus (about to get Jelly Bean, pure android(i greatly dislike skins) and $399), and then there's the dreaming aspect(meaning should i just continue holding out for what i really want), and what i really want is, vanilla android(ICS or newer), on screen keys, maxx size battery, S4 processor(or equivalent), 12+ mega pixel camera(or high quality lower pixel count as i know pixels isnt everything), HD screen, and a cool design. I really dislike skins on android, but it looks like i might have to settle for one anyway. I tried a One X at my local ATT store and it wasnt horrendous but i still disliked the skins from an astic view(it looks ugly to me, i prefer simple and stream lined). I havent been able to try a SGS3 yet but from the videos i've seen the "nature based" touch wiz looks corny and annoying as well. I really would like on screen keys but all the manufacturers appear to be ignoring googles design ques with the exception of Asus but by the time the padfone gets to the US it'll be long outdated and on top of that very expensive for what it is. I almost just want to get an Arc S(cheap, ICS, looks cool, but rather low specs) to hold me over and be done with it until something i truly love comes along. If i could find a way to get a Sony Xperia GX over here that'd due but that's not going to happen so what to do, what to do... What do you all think other than i'm over thinking this whole deal?:p Thanks...
