I have the Iphone 4G.

Not really big into apps and all that jazz. I have a few but mostly to get quick news/information.

It does everything I need it to do and has been pretty reliable so I can't complain.

A buddy of mine works for RIM so I got to screw around with the Torch before it came out...great device too. I agree with the general sentiment about BB greatly relying on the whole instant messaging aspect, but it all comes down to preference.

I'd ditch them both to grab a classic Nokia 8800...Badass.

buying a phone because my sony ericson xperia x10 got stolen. really a bittersweet ending cause i lost all my contacts but i wanted an out from my contract anyways haha. anyways, i need opinions on what phone to buy. android preferred, and a phone that rogers supplies. so long as the price for a 3 year term isnt more than 150 its good but the cheaper the better.

Samsung Nexus S, thats your best option imo, 99.99 + tax for it. Also its a pretty new phone, and what I currently own.

yea i saw it. though i read the comments and i didnt like what i see, which is why im hesitating. hows the battery life? touch screen? and is it updated regularly? last but most important, hows the call quality. can you hear them properly and vice versa?

Gurk · 08-07-2011, 05:49 PM

I think all Samsung phones are pretty good. You can check out the Samsung Galaxy as well. I have a Samsung Wave and the phone is awesome. Also, some other friends have the Galaxy and I hear nothing but good stuff. I highly recommend Samsung phones

Battery life is above average if you actually know how to use smart phones and conserve their battery life properly, but if you're always using it like most people seem to its the same as most phones. Yes it's a touch screen. As its a new phone, yes its updated as regularly as it needs to be, and gets full support as it needs it. Call quality is pretty good, I've personally never had any problems other than when I'm in noisy places as my hearing isn't the greatest already.

Overall its a very nice phone in the time I've had it, but I get new phones 1-2 months as its a perk of my job.

And if you're hesitant about the Nexus S, do what Gurk said and check out the Galaxy, very good phone as well.

i asked touch screen as in how is it? does it react well? does it lag?

Ya thats kinda what I figured you meant, but I wasn't sure lol. But yes it reacts very well, and never had any real lag with it yet personally other than maybe once when I was tryin to do 19283 things at once.

My Samsung Galaxy S just crapped out on me yesterday. Luckily I'm still within the 1 year warranty. Hopefully it can get repaired. If not...

Bummer. I have an x10 and I love it. I've been running custom Rom's for months now. Currently a custom gingerbread setup with a lot of performance tweaks...the phone screams now. Have you checked out the Arc? It's not the best phone on the market now, but it's a pretty powerful device and theres' a lot of development going on for it.

to be honest, i hated the x10. biggest problem for me was the call quality. TERRIBLE. cause of this im planning to stay away from sony for a while, i know its dumb but im just somewhat turned off. im looking more towards htc and samsung but rogers doesnt have a good selection of htc so prrobably samsung

Pzab, new phones for rogers literally just hit the market, so take a look at them if you want, I don't know much about any of them yet except the LG optimus which I've got to use for about 2-3 days (was supposed to get it 2 weeks ago, but they're stupid). I'd say check em out if you haven't decided yet.

As far as price between the 3 new phones, best for your buck (and is the cheaper of the 3) is the one I just mentioned, the LG optimus 3D. If not, get the Evo, from the rep I deal with that has used the Samsung phone is that its overhyped.

EDIT: Sorry, Evo and Optimus are pre-orders, and coming out the end of the month.
