Androids, which to pick?!

Hey,

I just found out I can get a new contract for my mobile phone provider and I'd like a new mobile (I ruined my last one by swimming with it and this Nokia 6300 is getting annoying). I'd to get one of those fancy pancy phones you can do all sorts of cool trick with. I just have no idea which is best. Things I'd like it to be able to do:

- MSN
- Facebook
- Long battery
- Not uberdupberupsuper big

Obviously most of the present phones can do this but I'd like some advise anyway.

Cheers<3

Some of the new HTC models.
iPhone 4
Just take the newest blackberry!
get an HTC Desire, just received it a couple of days ago.

+ a hell lot of apps already on the market, many more to come
+ with a decent task manager the battery works for almost 48 hours even if you use it a lot
+ perfect for your communicating needs like facebook

it's the best price-performance ratio one could get these days, bought mine for 419 euro's with some extra stuff.

I can really recommend that phone, as it's simply awesome! <3
Does it have a nice camera?

sure, 5 megapixels afaik. the colours for example really look great. in addition you can change the quality based on how much space you have left on your phone, still the quality is great in every format the desire has.
Parent
I think I'll go for that one then! Thanks
Parent
you won't regret your choice, have fun with it!

Quote+ with a decent task manager the battery works for almost 48 hours even if you use it a lot

stop using task managers
it has been talked to death on numerous sites/forums!

killing apps wont help ur phone at all
if u kill an app, the memory it has been using is blocked because it wasnt freed properly

android works different, if the memory is full and u want to open another app, it automatically closes another app based on some criteria

try closing apps manually, otherwise just leave it because it doesnt use any battery in the background


im using my phone a lot, got music on all day at school, surfing for several hours and playing games and it still has ~10% battery left when i plug it in before going to sleep (6 - 23 o clock) and im not using any task manager
Parent
read about that as well, tho I haven't noticed any problems using the advanced task-killer. I did close my programs manually in the begining, but still the phone works like a charm for me. killing apps by task-killers and any resulting problems are overrated in my opinion!
Parent
when i was using task manager i had to restart my desire every two days because it was working slow mo only
couldnt work with it then because i had to wait ages for a program to show up
>> no memory left

im not using task manager anymore and didnt notice any problems ever since
got my phone on 24/7


the only thing it does is causing problems, as i said it wont save u any memory and it wont help ur battery to last longer
cant understand why ure using it


i still got a task manager installed but thats just for closing programs which hang themselves up
Parent
where did you get it?

I have an HTC Magic and its battery doesn't last for more than a day if you use a mediocre amount. I know it's a bit dated by now but the battery is the only thing I am not pleased with about that phone. If they fixed that for later models I'd definately go for an HTC again.
Have a LG Arena pretty cool phone and have a HTC S740 really nice business phone with cool stuff.
what guise. All your new phones shit battery lasts for like few days max? That shit..
I have 3y old Nokia and battery lasts 1½week. wohoo!
same, Nokia is too solid :D
Parent
+1

I will never buy a phone for over 40€ and Nokia is the only one for me, so reliable and hard. Only things I need from a _phone_ are that i can call / receive / sms (+and occasionally use it as a hammer, without breaking it).

Android 16 was clearly the strongest.
HTC Desire
Pak in ieder geval geen touchscreen gezeik want da is me toch een partij gaar :/
Je ontkomt er zowat niet aan en die knopjes van zo'n blackberry zijn echt giga klein!
Parent
dan koopje zo'n uitschuif ding ipv een zwarte bes ding :)

touchscreen associeer ik als een ding dat gemaakt is voor mensen met lange nagels (lees: bitches)

of benje een beetje kinky? :$
Parent
:P Bij zo'n desire zit volgens mij zijn gruwelijk vet stokje!
Parent
:D

veel plezier met je stokje dan!
Parent
samsung omnia II !
:P

is heel nice alleen soms een beetje langzaam... het is eigenlijk een iets slomere iphone
surfen gaat soepel en vooral normale belfuncties zijn super eenvoudig te gebruiken...

ook de camera is nice:

HTC Desire or Google Nexus one pretty much the same phones except for desire having slightly more ram and optical trackpad while nexus one having anti-noise mic, trackball and newer android version(2.2 vs 2.1) + other minor differences.
These 2 phones are basically android flagmans in EU atm, but more powerful phones coming pretty soon(Samsung Galaxy S, etc)
got nexus one and totally satisfied with it.
I agree with h8m3, the Nexus One is a solid phone, I know several people that own a Nexus One running 2.2 and they love it. I am on AT&T personally so I am getting the new iPhone 4, pre-ordering when I can :D
Nokia N900. Maemo > android:)
lol, thats why nokia comes up with another linux based os called meego right?
Parent
