Which phone.. (sorry)

[neatbik]

Hi, the time has come to renew my phone (thank god, as my Samsung piece of crap finally died today)

I don't want an iphone, so what is good out there?
Sat nav would be usefull, as would being able to use it as a 'walkman', ideally with a proper 3.5mm headphone jack.
I'm guessing that probably sums up 99% of the phones on the market...?

Cheers

Something android, samsung galaxy range has good reviews, I rate my HTC desire S. There are much better HTCs on the market nowadays tho

Nice one, i have heard good things about HTC's thinking about it...

[Dazbo666]

HTC Wildfire / Desire
Sony Xperia Ray

My son and stepdaughter both have Wildfires, and I have the Xperia. I've never owned or used an iPhone, but I can certainly rate the HTC and Sony smart phones

My Xperia has satnav and mapping applications, as well as the 3.5mm jack for the music and video etc

At the minute I reckon Samsung Galaxy SII (still!), HTC One X or wait a bit for the SGS III.

I have a samsung gts8500 at the moment, i love the screen on it but it has been so troublesome i dont know if i can bear to have another samsung.

It has been off to be repaired 3 times for software glitches, and after it came back the last time (2 weeks ago) the camera refuses to work properly.

Yesterday i tripped and it ended up smacking the floor, hence the screen in knackered.

Thanks for the advice guys.

HTC All the way, got one, love it, so do a lot of other people I know.

The S2 has been now updated with the new firmware, Android 4.0.3. While it has not made much difference it has made the phone a little faster and the battery life is a good deal better.

I'd recommend one but then if the S3 is due out you might as well hang on for a little while longer.

As said above, the wildfire is the cheap, too slow crappy version of the desire and desire s.

HTC's are brilliant so long as you get a newish decent one.

SGSII are good as well.

Most decent droids have sat nav and other stuff.

I had the Samsung Xperia X10 - I had alot of problems with it, altho it was will genrally a good phone. Im now on the Samsung Ace - Dose everything I need, just a tad on the slow side after a while.

[L4Isoside]

Desire HD I have, decent video/ camera, still quick, lots of support for it and can be had on ebay for decent prices . Not the brand spanker (thats the One X) but my mate has one, prefer the Desire! Its got a metal case for a start, seems a lot more rugged .

Although the One X has a better screen, better cpu, better camera etc.

Desire HD is huuuuge

I'd definitely go for one of the new HTC's.

I've had my Desire S for 14 months now and it's taken some serious abuse and still works absolutely perfectly. I've dropped it down the stairs twice, dropped it in a 2" deep puddle for a few seconds, and it's hit the floor more times than I can remember, yet it's never, ever played up.

I've got 2 mate's who've dropped iPhone 4's out of their pocket and they've both smashed the screen to bits.

Fair enough, I just found that it would let you do everything at once (like my current phone does just fine) and then crash and lag and be a cunt.

As you can tell I didn't have the best experience with that phone, and I am trying to encourage other people to spend a little more and get something decent

Yes, its a Bada phone mate.
God knows what i was thinking when i chose it (was nearly 2 years ago).

It sounds like HTC might be the way to go then.
To be honest i'm not really one for downloading lots of apps or playing games. The most i will use it for (apart from speaking to people and texting) will be listening to music and sat nav.

But if the apps are there i will probably play.
