I would go play with the SGS2 and the Evo 3D if you can. Both are great phones, so it's going to come down to Sense vs TouchWiz.
Also, HTC's bluetooth stack is BORKED and they still haven't fixed it yet. It won't phonebook sync to older cars with Bluetooth 2.x
For me, that's a deal breaker and I would get the SGS2 instead. But if you have a 2011 car, it probably has Bluetooth 3.x and you should be fine.

I pretty much like the sense over touchwiz.......and I don't connect my phone to my car so often......SGS2 also costs here like 30000....that's around $120 less than the evo 3d......sgs2 had launched here like 3 to 4 weeks ago so the price has come down a bit........
Can someone tell me which company samsung or htc has a better customer support and would always upgrade there models with the latest versions of the os (faster)....?..(I have seen/noticed sometimes that samsung is a bit slow in releasing updates)

Hehe....the high end phones in india launch at this price range only......the iphone 4 launched at 35000 officially....which is like a month or two ago.....and was selling unofficially at 40000 since a year....(which it doesn't deserve at all...(.my opinion)) .....
$1 values around RS43-44

I wouldn't only solely due to the speakers on the item. Otherwise, I'd say go for it.
I would only recommend this phone if you want the best phone ever made!
Definitely recommend this beast of a phone! however that price is tooooooo high, wait for it to go down a bit and when it does GO FOR IT!
Absolutely....I would play with both the SGS and the HTC. However, Samsung is terrible with updates. The Epic 4G here in the US on Sprint hasn't even got GB yet. It took forever for them to release Froyo.
On the other hand, HTC has very good track record of updates/support. I didn't get the 3D movie on the SD card that came with the phone in the US and *****ed to sprint and actually got a call from HTC and they took my address, had me on a conference call explaining what I did to determine I didn't have it, etc.
On the update side, I had the OG EVO and it was updated pretty regularly. I'd say probably 5-6 updates in a year, which is pretty damn good if you ask me.
The Evo 3d is awesome but if the SGSII is $120 cheaper, I'd rather get that.
Phones there may be expensive there but at least the actual cell phone service is cheap.
The carriers here in the US love having their way with us customers, no lube either.
Samsungs customer service stinks! I recently came from the Epic, and we had to wait almost 8 months for froyo. Not to mention the code that Samsung used to get it operational was all hacked up. I would go for the HTC. You'll hate yourself for dealing with a Samsung piece of equiptment.

Can you just go by currency exchange rates alone though? What's the average wage over there? How long does it take you to earn 30000? For me 700 would take a little over a week but of course I have bills, expenses etc

So after spending MONTHS trying to train my wife to be an android lover. One of her clients GAVE her an iPhone and now she's sold out. Fine. Not a big deal ...because I HATE the iPhone...I am a firm believer that over all the android is a better phone . But its hard to make that point..when she's holding the iPhone 4 and I'm holding my LG p509. Now of course ivlove my Opt BUT...I'm gonna need an upgrade ..now I'm pretty broke but IV got a few bucks (USD) ...but what I DO have are two ..perfect condition LG p509 s. HERES MY QUESTION TO YOU WISE MEN (and ladies) is there any site I could trade my two phones in for a better One? Which android should I think about moving too?? And what would be the best way to go about it. Please? A little advice?
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium
Okay, I do have to disagree with you just a bit. You see, even as a true Android lover, you can't say things like "Android is superior in all ways." Honestly, iPhone sales are not decreasing. Many people I know still enjoy using their iPhone because they find it simple. These people can't be bothered about what overclocking is and they already feel a great sense of accomplishment with Cydia installed on their iPhones
Here's just my 2ยข on what you should be looking out for your new phone. Firstly, you should get a phone with at least a dual core processor (powerful huh? Wait till you see phones running quad core ). Secondly, you would want a phone with a larger screen display. Let's be honest here. O1 is a very good phone (my first android phone) and I love it. However, I am unable to enjoy fully games such as GTA3. Lastly, since you're such an Android lover, do checkout the xda development page for your future phone. Surely you'd want a phone that is constantly being developed by a pro active community?
Have a nice day!

@Jgreenmusic You can use your very own XDA Market, start now, because it is my belief that when you have something to sell...don't delay! Happy selling!
First, try to look on xda which phone has the largest developer (i don't how you will find it) and when you know it already see the specs at gsmarena.com

It's mobile world Congress if I'm not wrong. You should be waiting a while more, since Samsung promised to release phones with better battery life this year. Seems promising and I would wait and see if I were you and if I wasn't in a hurry to get a new phone

Get a phone that is exactly what you want.forget the specs.forget the media propaganda.find a phone that is the right size.is fast enough and dose what you want it to. The reason I phone users are so happy with their phone is that they are all the same.there is nothing that is different or even slightly special from any other iPhone.everything works the same and there is no chance of some individuality might cause a problem.
Get the phone that fits your individuality.be it Android or apple.
hi there mate, thank you for posting this as i have been in the same connundrum over the past few months.the things that concerns me when choosing a new phone are:1. unlocked bootloader as some phones shipped with locked bootloaders. this cannot be a good indication for future developments on the platform. 2. wheter or not the phone has a strong developer community support. i see this as an important feature to ensure that my mew phone would be able to stay fresh for at least the next 18 months.to be honest, i was so close to ditching my optimus one last month, having had the phone as my trusty companion for over a year. but the recent development in cm9 port for our phone (time and time again, the optimus one dev community has never failed to surprise me) had allowed me to stick with the phone for atleast another couple of months, enough time to see whats in store for us after wmc.
Btw , have u tried selling your two o1s on eBay?
The iPhone sucks at price, the only nice thing about it are the animations, you can take a phone with 2x the specs of iPhone woth half price

Hi, I bough the HTC one when it came one on T-Mobile, then after 4-5 days of use I decided to return. The reason was I had the Galaxy s3 before and thinking that the Galaxy s4 is much better watching online reviews. And I went and bought the international version of Galaxy s4 i9500 for $775 cash. Thinking its octocore and it has to be unbelievably fast. Now after using the GS4 I realized that HTC one is a much better and faster phone. Everything on the one is PREMIUM.
Now Im trying to get rid of the i9500 and get the HTC one back.

I also have both phones. If I had to choose I would pick the HTC one. The s4 is a nice phone but the ui isn't as smooth from my experience.
If the ui on the s4 was just as smooth as the HTC one it would be hard to choose. The s4 has a lot of customization.

I will never buy a phone with non removal battery. Its stupidity. Here in europe you get 2 years for warranty and 6 months for battery. If you are unlucky after one year and battery is gone you have to pay to much for a replace battery or if you try to change it by yourself you loose warranty. Thats stupid in a phone of 700 or more euros. And so far i saw from comparison s4 is slightly better. Thats all because I say. Lol

Why be so childish over a phone? If you don't like the HTC one then why are you on this forum? No need to bash other phones just because you "think" yours is better. I have the HTC one and I love it because it's for me, my girlfriend has the gs4 because she's used to touchwiz and I've played with it and it's also a great phone. Stop all the bashing and just enjoy your phone. It's all about personal preference.

Because Android and iOS have polar opposite philosophies. Android offers users choice; and choice leads to freedom, ultimately entitlement. iOS says my way or highway. Capitalism vs. Communism.
Hey guys I traded my htc one for an s4. I just wanted to let you all know this is the best device forum I have ever been a part of. Everyone here was very helpful and great. This forum will be missed especially with all the ignorant and new android users on the s4 forum.

Actually traded because I can actually enable the 1700mhz band on the s4 unlike the HTC one. I'm switching over to t mobile so this was the main thing. Also I figured it'd be easier to trade the s4 for an actual t mobile phone (Xperia Z) since more people know about the s4. Flawed logic to some but oh well.

Just curious, the T-Mobile version of the One doesn't support 1700 mhz? I'm an AT&T user, so I'm unfamiliar with such things.
The t mobile version does support the 1700mhz band. I'm switching to t mobile and taking my phone with me in October. The att htc one doesn't support the 1700mhz band for t mobile so it would have been crippled on t mobile's network.

sometimes people want to be strange/rude/etc, kayone73. I can't think of any legitimate reason to try to drum up interest by saying "IM GETTING RID OF MY PHONE AND GETTING A DIFFERENT ONE". This shouldn't even be a thread, honestly.
Enjoy the SGS4, honestly you cannot go wrong with either phone.
Regardless, this thread doesn't actually have anything to do with the HTC One as regards informational purposes so I am going to lay it to rest.
