This mainly goes out to AT&T people but I'm sure anyone can answer. I'm on AT&T, currently using an Atrix 4g. Recently the digitizer broke so I have that little useless strip in the middle of my phone that doesn't work as a touch screen anymore. I'm due for an upgrade and was checking out some phones. I can't really afford much lol so I'm looking at the budget under $100 phones. So far I've narrowed it to the Pantech Discover($50), Samsung Galaxy Express($50), LG Optimus G ($99), HTC One X ($99), and the Samsung Galaxy Rugby Pro ($99). My thoughts so far are that the Discover and Express obviously won't perform as well as the other ones due to its pricepoints, but as far as performance per dollar they seem like they are very much worth it. The Optimus G and One X are pretty fast phones I'm aware, but I don't know much about the Rugby Pro. I'm looking for a phone that doesn't necessarily NEED to be rooted or have a custom rom, but it'd be nice to have. Jelly Bean would also be a plus but I know all of these are at least on ICS. Any thoughts or other suggestions? Any help would be appreciated.

Excite/GT2/TF300?? Can'te decide!!!

So I've "made up my mind" 3 times on each of these but couldn't pull the trigger. HELP ME!! I've found each in the ~$300 mark so cost doesn't matter.

Basically points I see are:

Toshiba Excite 10

+ Quad Core Tegra 3

+ Full size SD

+ Very clean, near stock Jelly Bean

+ Stereo speakers

- Possible light bleed

- Locked down. No root or roms

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2

+ Root and Roms

+ Nice front stereo speakers

- Touchwiz UI

- Dual Core processor

- 3MP camera

Asus TF300 Transformer

+ Quad Core Tegra

+ Root and roms

- Single rear speaker

If the Excite were unlocked, I'd probably just buy it immediately. I love the power, and was really happy with my Thrive and am on my second Satellite laptop.

I've had many Samsung products and also love the company. Really only thing holding me back is the processor. I'm sure its no dog, but if I'm buying a new tab for the same price, why not get a quad core? Camera stinks, but I've only used it a handful of times and for chat occasionally.

What do you guys think??? I just can't decide, I keep having dealbreakers, mainly Toshiba being locked, Samsung only dual core, and asus crappy speaker. If the Asus had nicer stereo speakers it may have made it easier.

keep the SIII, move to SIV or go big with the note 2?
[General Questions and Answers] thatdude02:
Re: **DEVICE SUGGESTION THREAD** -- Not sure what device to buy? Ask here!

S3 has amazing support but the S4 is about the same with different software. Probably will end up on the S3 ROMs eventually. Note 2 would be an upgrade, with a bit more power and a bigger screen, so that might not be a bad idea.

I don't think you need to upgrade unless the screen and S-Pen are really pulling you in. Go for it if you find a good deal, other than that, I think the S3 should do you well for a while.

My two cents. Up to you though :)

Guys. Change of plans. I am going all the way down! Not getting mid range as planned few pages back ,but high end stuff.

Xperia s is out because of medicore screen and camera

Htc one is out because of camera and not being avaible in Poland

The tie is between

Note2 - my fav. Everything is great abiut it. How is it in daily use?

S3 - great camera as in note2 ,but I think n2 offers more

Nexus4 maybe.

So overall, is note2 the best android device on the market right now? Ps. I do not want to wait for s four or note three.

I never had high end before!

The true high ends of this year are Xperia Z, S4 and One lol. If One is it for, then Z and S4 should be up to you. Some will say S4 is better due better processor and more gimmicks... I'd say Z because of screen, water proof and design.

Xperia Z , HTC one and Galaxy s4 are the top flagships out there , I would recommend choosing between these;)

s4 also not available yet (and when it will be the price will be awesome :silly:)

S3 and N2 are affordable/in my limit. That is 2100pln for note2 (about 650$) with s3 being cheaper by 100$.

Hello,

can you advise me some good device for my dad ?

He likes very much size of my Desire S, which is 3,7". 5 inch paddles is ABSOLUTELY NO NO for him. He refuses so big phone.

Originally he wanted took my Desire S from me and buy me something newer, however i can't find anything suitable.

new iPhone was also the option, but the reason why not is : "The whole world settled at 5V 1A microUSB port. Why the heck are they using their 'lightning' connector"

So i'm looking for phone for him.

So, display should be about 3,7 inches.

Battery life should be good (he is used to his nokia n95m, which he charges once in 5 days :D).

No need for ultra-high-spec camera, he takes images very ocassionaly.

No specification for UI (sense, touchwiz,timescape motorola etc..)

And my requirement is software updates.

I like my DS, but one of the reasons why i hate it is because they canceled support at android 2.3.5 (yeah, they also gave us laggy and buggy ICS via RUU)

I've had a droid 3 from Verizon a little over two years now, Had their unlimited data since its inception probably 6 years ago or so. As most know they are doing everything they can to push those unlimited contracts out to pasture. My phone has finally takin a dump on me, I've already attempted to repair it and failed at that as well. I do have insurance and not against just getting another one for the deductable but I wanted to feel the waters and see what everyone is recommending before moving forward. Me and my wife have a family minute share 400 minutes, unlimited texts and unlimited data with insurance on both phones our bill averages about 210 a month. I do feel this is relatively high but always attributed it to having the "unlimited" data. After talking with Verizon tonight they want me to pay 30 bucks to upgrade my account and i get screwed out of my unlimited if i upgrade to a 4g phone. My wifes contract is up in three months, my contract is clear...Its 700 cash for a note2 and 550 for droid 4, if paid in full I can continue to keep my unlimited and upgrade to a better phone, in my opinion the only way the unlimited is worth keeping is if I have a phone/tablet capable of utilizing the highest speeds possible.

Im not against a windows phone/tablet if one excist, but I do prefer android jellybean...Im tring to get a tablet capable of being a phone as well if anyhing along those lines is available. Im in Chicago and have access to most carriers...Anybody have any crazy idea's. recommendations, news about something coming out worth waiting for? Id like a big screen, keyboard would be nice but its what ever, hdmi. possible quad core, whats out there these days...I am currently with out a phone and can wait maybe a day or two to get something...What would you do?:fingers-crossed:
