Title: which android phone should i buy?
Post by: Snake X on September 13, 2011, 06:30:32 pm: Yep, its the time this guy gets an upgrade.. well hopefully. Idk.

Anyhow, I want to know which *android* cellphone i should get. I can only pay up to $400 on the phone. It MUST be unlocked, so if you find per say.. the htc thunderbolt, show it to me *unlocked* and not with the 2 yr contract.

I however do like HTC...
hmm.... though samsung galaxy s looks promising.. but what about teh xperia play? GAH! cant make up my mind lol

The Xperia Play has Minecraft though, not sure if you play/like it.

Nexus S (Nexus Prime if you don't mind waiting) - for "Pure Android". No manufacturer skins.
Samsung Galaxy S II - Great Display, size, up-to-date

Post by: BlakPilar on September 13, 2011, 08:01:54 pm: I love HTC as well, and I have the Droid Incredible 2. I have no complaints about it and I think it's an amazing phone (then again, it is my first smartphone ;D). Here (http://www.boosteleshop.com/htc-droid-incredible-2-unlocke2.html)'s an unlocked version for $234 (the cheapest I saw on Google's shopping thing (http://www.google.com/#q=htc+droid+incredible+2+unlocked&hl=en&prmd=imvns&source=univ&tbm=shop&tbo=u&sa=X&ei=NO5vTsmuGInE0AG1sPCUCg&sqi=2&ved=0CHwQrQQ&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=77f1d7f7ca5cc7f4&biw=1600&bih=731).)

Post by: BlakPilar on September 17, 2011, 07:28:35 pm: I'm sorry Snake, I must've deleted the notification for this :( but yes, the Incredible 2 is 3G. Have you gotten your dream phone yet, though? :D

Post by: Snake X on October 14, 2011, 10:44:29 am: I know this is quite the necro post.. but... I cant seem to get boosteleshop.com working where i found my phone..

and thats the only way i can afford such a thing!

Blak, where did you see boosteleshop on google's shopping results because i can't find them nor did i find them when you first posted that link (http://www.google.com/#q=htc+droid+incredible+2+unlocked&hl=en&prmd=imvns&source=univ&tbm=shop&tbo=u&sa=X&ei=NO5vTsmuGInE0AG1sPCUCg&sqi=2&ved=0CHwQrQQ&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=77f1d7f7ca5cc7f4&biw=1600&bih=731)
Title: Re: which android phone should i buy?
Post by: BlakPilar on October 14, 2011, 03:00:56 pm: I just searched for my phone on Google shopping and it was near the top on the second page. I just found the lowest price and clicked on it.
Title: Re: which android phone should i buy?
Post by: Snake X on October 14, 2011, 03:14:22 pm: the site seems to be down.. also i saw boosteleshop.com on scambooks.com where someone reported it.. :(

I knew those prices were too good to be true.. but atm im looking for a cheap inspire 4g (unlocked, new)
Title: Re: which android phone should i buy?
Post by: BlakPilar on October 14, 2011, 05:09:28 pm: Is eBay a viable solution? If so, here's one (http://compare.ebay.com/like/170710996557?var=lv&ltyp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar&_lwgsi=y) for buy now @ $289 and it comes with an Otterbox! (A little over 2 days left at the time of this post.)

If not, here's a list (http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=inspire+4g+unlocked&hl=en&prmd=imvnsfd&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&biw=1600&bih=731&wrapid=tlif131862638985110&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=599536090151474224&sa=X&ei=cqSYTp3QIsr40gHuicHdBA&ved=0CGYQ8wIwAA#) of one's in the low- to mid-$300s.
Title: Re: which android phone should i buy?
Post by: Snake X on October 14, 2011, 07:44:41 pm: well by the time im going to buy it (christmas), the ebay listings won't even matter really until that time.

Also i think you mean mid to high $300s ;)

w00t 700th post!! :D

Post by: BlakPilar on October 14, 2011, 08:33:02 pm: Oh haha, alright. I thought it was more of a here-and-now kind of deal. And yeah, that's what I meant :P I don't think you're going to be able to get much lower than that, though, unless you try eBay or something similar :/ but congrats on the post! :D
