Smart fucking phone

yo.

I finally decided to move to a smartphone but I have no fucking idea what to use. I'm no apple faggot but I thought it was "the" smartphone of the moment but meh.

I thought about HTC Desire HD, looks pretty nice, anyone experienced it already?


Any other recommendations?

Get a Sensation instead of The desire hd imo.
Why? What is the difference?
Parent
It fits in Your Pocket ;) desire hd is way Top big imo. And i think the Sensation is also faster afaik, its not a huge difference...
Parent
htc desire hd is good enough + the 4.7" screen is really nice when @internerdz and when typing messages. + its also nice when watching videos and playing games!


edit: and it fits ur pocket just fine. at least it fits in my pocket(s)

Have a iPhone4 for 1,5 years now, never had any complaints, its amusing when ur bored and wouldn't need a other phone for a while!
Yeah, no doubts they are good but everybody has one, I don't like this :(

fuckin' hipsters!
Parent
so you rather have a phone u maybe get disappointed about and not be a "hipster", then have a nice phone wich u sure be pleased about and be a "hipster"?

fuck that stereotype shit, be smart and get a iphone :D
Parent
nah was actually joking but yeah indeed my first thought was to buy an iPhone but really, have no idea what to buy right now
Parent
well everybody buys it (including me) because i dont a quality product. I mean im spending a lot of money for this phone and i dont want to make a bad choice. Trusted my experience a half year ago and i never regret my decision to buy an iphone 4 tbh ;)
Parent
because i dont a quality product.

you might want to take a look at that :p
Parent
wtf was i thinking

mind blown
Parent
You sister bought it for you, fuck off



and yes I remember that xD
Parent
still i have to pay the 40 euro every months

oh wait, my father pays it as a studypresent for me ;D;D
Parent
because an iPhone really makes you study more and better :ppppppp
Parent
tbh i paid less attention when i didnt own an iphone, because i always took the iphone if my friend during the lessons..

now its all overplayed and i pay more attention :p only facebook 1-2 times the lesson to check messages. nothing more
Parent
If your friend during the lesson yeah

feilib mõnede asjadega aga hea asi on :)


etc levi kaob lampi, ekraan vahest ei vunka korraklikulta aga muidu ok.
Parent
jep, a muidu on äge
Parent
olen rahul jah sellega :D aga vahest nussib näkku :D

I have had the HTC Desire for about 18 months now and not had a single problem. That's the HTC Desire, not the hd version, just my opinion but I really dont see the need for hd on a phone.
I have a Nokia Lumia 800
its an amazing phone, it runs Windows Phone OS and I must say the OS is different then you expect but not in a bad way.
Also its made by Nokia which is beastly and it has the best design ive ever seen on a phone

Note: some people have bad batteries when they use 3g+wifi 24/7
nokia brought an update out last week to help with that issue with the battery life. i like the phone , the design is cool and really tough! the OS is good too, but still a few issues with it :(
Parent
the update you are talking about is out for 3 weeks now and it didnt really seem to fix the battery problems for many people

personally i never had a problem with the battery
the average is 2 days for me

i have a cyan version
Parent
desire hd worked great for me for one year (smashed it xD), except for the fact that it was simply too big. Eventhough I have a big hand I could not use it properly with just one hand e.g. on the go.

I now have a samsung galaxy s-plus. Better price/performence ratio, but i'm not totally satisfied. But it does the job. Maybe the HTC ones are more polished than the samsung thingys. But imo you dont need to go for the top-end ones as they are usually overpriced to their little brothers and sisters (my roommate has a galaxy s2 and its hardly better than mine)
I'm really clueless when it comes to smartphones.


Why aren't you satisfied with the galaxy s-plus?

Can I install skype/msn and other shits too? (yes I still use msn in 2012) and I know it might look stupid for a question but I have seriously no idea how it works.
Parent
You usually can install all apps that are available on android on every android smartphone. So, yes.

I'm not totally satisfied is because it has one or few flaws/bugs that happen from time to time, especially with Firefox as it seems to eat too much RAM to use. Other than that it does a pretty good job. Importing contacts was also alot harder compared to doing it on a HTC phone, but once done it was no problem.
Parent
thanks mate

Why did you smash your htc :D it sounds awful! Were you satisfied with it? I like how it looks and same for galaxy s-plus. Can't decide now :(
Parent
would always go with the s-plus now, simply for the price
Parent
Ok, will check that but as I said below, price is not really of a big deal
Parent
if price isnt big of a deal get samsumg galaxy s2. just keep the phone Android - ios and windows phones just can't beat android yet. why? cause android have this 'open' system and you dont really have to pay for any app if u dont want to! at least on ios you had to do the jailbreak when u need to charge ur phone by some odd way if it runs completely out of battery. dunno about symbians / windows phones but at least those are not open OSs. + anybody can make apps for android - thats why there are so much free softwares which are usefull also
Parent
hey kaze, i got the S Plus and it's awesome
Parent
thx buddy, thats probably what im going to buy in few days
Parent
iphone 4s en ce moment, avant j'avais le 3gs, c'est vraiment un bon choix tbh.
bon bah j'vais finir par craquer j'imagine
Parent
ça a son coût c'est clair, mais tu vas pas être déçu, la plupart des gens whine sur iphone car c'est apple et joue les androidfags, mais je connais pas plus performant en terme de smartphone.
Parent
oué c'est ça surtout, le prix je m'en fous tbh j'ai de quoi y mettre le p4qu3t!
Parent
Pour avoir eu le Galaxy i9000, l'Iphone 4s et le galaxy s2, mon classement serait:
Galaxy s2 > iphone 4s > Galaxy i9000.
Te laisse pas distraire par ceux qui te disent qu'Iphone est obligatoirement mieux. C'est juste plus cher. Les applications qui sont trop cool sur iphone genre tu peux parler tout ça.bah ça existe depuis un bail, perso j'avais déjà ça sur le Galaxy... La seule différence notable entre le s2 et l'iphone c'est le prix. Tu peux faire la même chose avec les deux sauf qu'avec iphone.tu payes en permanence et sur Galaxy bah non... Mais niveau fluidité etc j'ai vu aucune différence sur l'iphone oi le gs2.
Parent
là je m'avance plus vers un desire enfaite mais j'ai vraiment du mal a me décider
Parent
Ha! Bah entre désire et iphone prends l'iphone!
Parent
mon amoureu
Parent
Tu me manques : (
Parent
Toi aussi ! :'[

LAN much in June ?
Parent
galaxy s2
Samsungs are supposed to be good.

I got N900, yeye old etc, but it works and has a physical keyboard +32g build in memory. Planning to flash it to gingerbread android, if I can reason the why to myself.

Will go for e7 next, tried it few times and it rocks.
How about Symbian Belle?
Parent
Why? I need some reason to do it. Havent got any problems now and I dont need any useless apps, thus no android so far...
Parent
a fish is a better friend than a human yes
Parent
Buy Samsung Galaxy S3 I think it will be realesed in may...
I don't give a fuck about the new hype, I just need the phone to be useful and I don't want to wait May

thx tho
Parent
using nokia 5800
Got the Desire S and I really like it. Top quality, aluminium body. Doesn't feel like a cheap ass plastic Samsung.

Got it for 235 at Amazon Warehouse deals around new year. Yes, the hardware is somewhat older than the expensive phones and it doesn't come with a dual core and all that. However so far it performed any app I threw at it without any problems and it probably still will in a couple of months/year.

Also I don't have to be scared to walk around with more than an entire monthly pay check in my pockets :-P
(Yes, poor student is super poor!)
Friend of mine got a SII and apart from the nicer screen (and probably better performance in the future) I much prefer the DesireS. Also I find the SII to be too big already to use/fit in pocket comfortably.

You can get the HTC Evo 3D currently for ridiculously low prices in Germany (230 something?)

It really depends on how much you'd like to spend :-)
Well I don't really have limits for the moment, I just want a good designed phone that fits well in my hands. I got pretty big hands so I want it to be comfortable and tbh I don't want to run 900 apps on it, just few ones with some musics and that's it.

Also, it has to be pretty simple to use since I'm quite noobish in this things.
Parent
The usability argument only goes so far that you can choose between Android and iOS pretty much (or w7 phone..). So in the end it doesn't really matter if you buy an Android from Samsung, HTC, Sony or LG etc. (or the iPhone obviously for iOS). They come with slightly different user interfaces but 98% of the system is identical on any brand.

It took me 1-2 days to get used to Android after switching from webOS, so it's really easy to use. Can't really comment on iOS, have never really used it. Doubt it's much harder/easier considering both systems copy cat mentality and success :-)

Before you buy the phone, I'd then suggest going to a shop where you can get your hands on them and check out their sizes and feel.
Parent
w7 phone

don't talk about that anymore, as far as I tested it, this is one of the slowest OS i've ever seen
Parent
"They come with slightly different user interfaces but 98% of the system is identical on any brand."


Yeah. You just need to jailbreak iphones to be able to get anything for free for it :D and then you have got some fucked up way to recharge it when it runs out of battery. Just keep it simple and keep talking about android since everyone knows its the stablest and probably still better on someway than w7
Parent
will do, thx dude
Parent
if big hands the big screen of desire hd works perfectly. if i didnt mention before i've got it for a month now and i just like it - psx games work also just fine if u got the newest psx emulator for it.
Parent
fuck :D thats cool

thx :)
Parent
I dont know shit about smartphones, I dont really care about smartphones. They all look/feel like the same to me.

Just wanted to post useless comment.
I've got Samsung galaxy S II, I highly recommend it.

The smartest move would be to wait for the Galaxy S III
Got Samsung GALAXY Gio (wasn't really sure if I want that big S II), and yea it's fun, everything works perfectly :).
ive had just about every smartphone on the market tbh, ive got a bit of a phone fetish :<

if youre going for a sensation, go for the SE version, it comes with doctor dre in ear headphones as standard... dunno if thats only a UK version though and maybe not available in EU?

Blackberry - 9900 , 9790, both great after the updates sorting out the battery issues. blackberry screens and sound quality is amazing, and really underappreciated. might not be for you though if you dont use email as much.but i love them...plus the price of the playbook has come down and i use mine all the time, great product.

Iphone 4s is a great phone, SIRI sucks big balls though and is just a gimmick. (doesnt recognise my scottish accent at all the shitcunt). the camera and new processor really make the phone worthwhile and for apps, its brilliant.

Samsungs suck. the S2 will give you about 6 monthsthen itll go massively wrong. the galaxy ace is decent and mid range in price, might be a better option...

Sony ericsson are shit, stick to tv's sony!
how was theSamsung Galaxy Ace? Been thinking of getting one since my budget is just around 240€ at tops
Parent
decent, solid handset mate, performs well for the price.
Parent
got any other nice phones that would be around 200-250e at tops?
Parent
I bought Ace (used but not much and still on warranty) for ~120 euro about one week ago, its nice :)
Parent
guess its either that or Galaxy xcover
Parent
thx for all

I thought about blackberry but I dont know much about it.

what do you think about the htc desire s?
Parent
iphone 4s!! My girlfriend and her dad has like htc HD,sensation, desire, desire hd and they all feel laggy like shit and bad interface...Will never regret buying the 4s, epic camera and doing what it has to do! :)
Iphone all the way, just because its simply best.
i have a hrc desire hd, its really awesome but a bit big.. :p if iwas you i would go for a htc or a samsung galaxy
I got SGSII for 6 months, incredible phone, nothing more to add. Its really fast responding phone, much more powerful than any iPhone (the only reason why 4S is actually hitting a bit better benchmark results is that Android does not make a full advantage of SGSII hw, its expected that with ICS upgrade most of high-end android phones will go over 4S again). Anyway, I have never had any problem with any app on my SGSII, games are as smooth as they can, movies are without lags, even FullHD is playing nicely (screen on this phone is simply sensational, sooo nice to watch), camera is more than decent.
I personally cant see anything to justify 100e+ difference between iPhone 4S and its direct competitors (such as SGSII, its ridiculous that SGSII is 2/3 of price of 4S). And google with its android is a keeper, syncing with google account and providing tons of free features/functions.
If you want a user friendly interface, than Iphone 4S is the way to go. Overall it's still pretty much the #1 on the market but it's soooooo expensive compared to....

The Android phones are, I would say, price worthy. Samsung Galaxy S 2 is one of the beasts to compare with.
iPhone 4S (Brand New in Box) from ebay ~ 30% cheaper
Sim only contract ~ £10/15 per month

Not so expensive anymore :)
Parent
depends what u say is expensive lol, they can go for over 5 ton lad
Parent
£500 is expensive! 30% cheaper = £350 ..which you can pick up from eBay if you try.

Either that, or they're about £35+ per month for a good contract (best I found was £30 p/m - 300mins, 5000texts, 500mb inet + free phone)
Parent
cheapest 4s contract i saw was 40 quid :/ lol
Parent
youll get the handset with any price contract, just youll have to pay towards it with a lower / mid range priced one....

t-mobile do the best offer around just now though. full monty 41 , unlimited everything and £29 for the 16 gig 4s. you can use it to tether free and it works with skype etc too.
Parent
ye my step bro just got 1 on monday, 47 with insurance, i personally have a shite cheap phone because i have a tendancy to smash/lose them :D, how doo anyway matey u ok yea
Parent
haha, get yourself a samsumg solid extreme sesn1 lad! itll bounce off anything, drop in a pint itll still work np! i got one and call it "my friday night fuck you phone" :D

im great matey, yeah, hows yerself?
Parent
You got a link kev? .. nevermind, thought you meant £29 p/m

Best I found was as stated above^
Parent
500 mb of internet really isnt a lot on an iphone matey. on average i use about 2-3 gig a month, and depending on what provider youre with, its chargeable after your first 500meg....could cost you a fortune. the good thing about the full monty is that its truly unlimited with no fair use policy at all, and 300 minutes cross network aint a lot either :(
Parent
I looked that up and for what I use the Internet for, I don't think I'd even hit the 500mb mark. I only browse facebook a few times per day & the occasional website. And I rarely use minutes, as the texts' are sufficient.

But anyhow, I'm trying to get an iPhone off eBay (or similar) for cheap & then looking to get a sim-only contract :)
Parent
yeah, best value for money sim only's. if its an iphone off ebay, buy the extended warranty, you only get a year with it as standard :<
Parent
ah i see :) cheers!
Parent
samsung galaxy s 2
for a cheaper one, huawei stuff
