Nexus S. It really has a vibrant developing community, it's Samsung, and it's cheap. Perfect Choice

I second this, If I wasn't planning on getting the new EVO this would be my device of choice (besides the gnex). It still holds up spec-wise, it has a great design and it was so far ahead of it's time's feature sets that it really isn't missing anything. Also it just got an official OTA to ICS so there's a vibrant community to support you and/or help you with development. Also since its a few years old now it wouldn't surprise me if you could get a used (in good condition) one for around 150-200$ which when you think about an unlocked phone isn't half bad.

SIII or Xperia S.
I'd recommend the Galaxy S, it's definitely still going strong, and ICS roms (all unofficial obviously) have taken off with aplomb, if you really wanna deal with ICS.
But the GB scene is still strong too. Plus it's cheap (got mine for 150 British pounds), pretty awesome and it didn't sell god knows how many million units for no reason!
Well actually I'm looking to get a GS3. On tuesday

I plan on getting a new phone in about 2 weeks also and the Q is not even a thought. I don't really like Samsung but I'll be getting the S3.
I recommend you stay with the Photon and not get a new one. My reasons are selfish though, because I don't want you to leave us as a dev!
Honestly though, my girlfriend has the S3 and it's amazing. I don't like how fragile it feels in comparison to the Photon, but I watched her drop it on concrete yesterday and it surprised me. It landed in the top left corner and the screen didn't shatter. It just has a couple dings and scrapes on the sides.

First, let me say, I loved your work on the photon 4g. Now that's out of the way. ***k the s3. I have a Q. In my opinion samsung needs some originality. Go to the store and play with them both, bigger isn't always better.

IMO, get the S3:
1- As far as I know is the fastest phone out there
2- Samsung has added some nice software features
3- It's about to get official JB
4- The development community is growing up day by day
5- You will support Samsung in some way after the crappy outcome of the Samsung vs Apple trial D:
Thanks for all your work spleef..we've really enjoyed having you as one of our amazing devs!
Wait for the lg eclipse quad core, 2 gigs of ram, 13 megapixel camera, and a display that rivals the retina display from apple oh and 2100mah battery stock.

S3... only because US Celullar doesn't have the Q
The Q has kernel source thanks to moto and root thanks to shabby I want you to get one of those that way I know I have at least one ROM to trust lol
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
S3 all the way. My mother in-laws has one.got to play with it for awhile.It's a sick phone. Hopefully my next one. No more Motorola for me
kind of feel the same way wanting to get away from motorola, but damn they make good phones....lol that lg sounds sick but I've never been much of a lg fan....usually I've only bought htc until this photon being my first motorola, but several of my friends have motorola and they are beastly.....leaning towards the q I like the keyboard phones, and the fact it is unlockable by motorola seems promising...idk...still on the fence got a few more days still

the note 2 will face the same changes the sgs3 did, there is no current quad core chipsets that support LTE, the newest and greatest one to do so is the MSM8960 aka the qualcomm snapdragon S4 tahts inside the one x lineup, sgs3 lineup, and many many other phones this year
Come to the light.
S3 so far has been a great phone.

Samsung's radios are garbage. I had the Epic, have since given it to my ex-wife, and after a year, the single sucked, on all fronts. the cell signal sucked, the wifi signal sucked, and even the bluetooth was flakey. The Photon (and I got mine used, so it's probably a year old now) is 10 times better in those respects. The only thing the Sammy has that bests Moto is the Super AMOLED screen.
Hi, I was hoping for a little help with my decision. I am up for an upgrade this coming Monday and it works out that I can get an original Galaxy Note for $50 on contract. I can also get the Gs3 for the same price, but I love the size of the Note. So basically is there a lot of development for the Note? Is everyone here happy with getting the Note and would they keep their Note over a Gs3?

Wait 2 more months for the Note 2.
♥★♥ My phablet Galaxy Note ♥★♥
Well my only problem with that is I can't afford the Note 2, thats why I asked about the original Note.
Sent from my Desire HD using xda app-developers app
My reasons for choosing the note over sg3:
Big screen (don't think I could go back at this point)
S pen
This may be weird, but I don't like the button on the front screen of the sg3.
Hardware is fine, even though sg3 is a little bit nicer.
The Rom community for the note is very active.
Either way, you're getting a badass phone

Thanks for the information, I was worried about getting a year-old phone and not having much development for it.
We know the note is a great device.....
And we "think " the note 2 will be a great device ...
Call me old fashioned .... but I like a device with a track record ....and this device has one.
I'd buy it again in a second ...g

I had the same decision and jumped on the Note. It's impossible to beat that price and I don't think the Note 2 will be worth $150 more than the Note 1. I'm also betting that most of the additional Note 2 functionality will find its way into the Note 1. I've gone back and forth between the Collective ROM and the OnlyOne which I understand isn't being worked on anymore. It gave me S-Voice and other SG3 functionality that I can't remember right now. Like you, I've got the TP running the latest CM9 nightly and the Inspire 4G running the latest Jelly Time. The Note is far and away my favorite. The screen is amazing.
Would you happen to know if CM10 runs well on it as well? I really appreciate all of the feedback and advice. I usually leave my phones stock for a month or do, then its flashing time! So I'm hoping the Note had a lot of choices when it comes to custom ROMs.

I've been running PA (found in the original dev section) and it's great, a couple of small issues but the phone is soo smooth. Also there's been an announcement from Samsung that says they'll be putting out an official JB ROM. Personally I love the Note and I'm still not sold on the next one. If you want to get an awesome price, wait for a couple of weeks before the Note 2 is released, you should be able to get it for next to nothing.
As it stands now I can get it for $50, brand new on contract. Thats a great deal I think.

Just my two cents i have owned both the GS3 and the Note and so far i think the note blows away the GS3 it is nice and as quick as my GS3 was.
The thing is huge but after a couple days you become used to it and will not notice its size also the screen is beautiful processor seems solid battery life is good and i pound on my battery streaming surfing the web and playing music and i get a solid 5 hours and thats constant use if i leave it alone it will go the whole day which i couldnt with the GS3
Sound quality for the speaker is so-so but ive come to expect this from phones now when i plug my headphones in the sound is crystal and sharp
Also running CM10 some weird issues but nothing that is a deal breaker all in al i say you cant go wrong
I'll probably hold out on CM10 if JB is coming soon, but thanks for the help. You guys are all making my decision so much easier!

Hey Guys, currently running an iPhone 4S (I know; it's ****, work compulsory item unfortunately. Apparently I can't use an Android phone. ) Well; I've left that company to join another one so I can finally get an Android! YAY! I'm not really happy with the Nexus 4; No expandable storage. Something that is a must for me.
So; my question is, should I get a Galaxy S3 or wait for the next phone?
Thanks for your help in advance!
If you don't know why maybe you should not buy one.

Everybody will tell you a different story. For some SGS3 is a piece of crap, for me it's my dream phone come true. The only one near as good as the SGS3 is the Note but for me it's too big.

From a galaxy s3 far far away
If you can find one without defects, take a OneX, or better, a OneX+....i changed 3 OneX, all of them defective in a way or in another, and then i gave up and bought an S3, which is a great phone, but to me it doesn't have that premium feeling...
I had this feeling when I bought desire HD (just when it came out) till I found out there won't be an update to ICS. Now if you look at let's say Jelly Time thread, 4.1.2 runs ok on it, but HTC won't help with the development (even in a form of a "leak" or any other). They have forgotten about this phone after about a year. Ignored the petition signed by tens of thousands. So if you think Apple is poo, think again. Buy any phone but not HTC. They are making great phones, but they have to come to their senses. I hope they will, as their sales and shares are really bad.

Its been a great run, but I sold my GNote. Purchasing a Nexus 4, so if any of you are are over there in the future, shoot me a PM
Take care, hope you guys get the Jelly Bean update soon
Did it get a fair price. I wanted to do the same until the great nexus 4 drought hit. Then the mixed reviews. Guess that means they are back in stock?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Yep, the nexus 4 is back in stock on the play store. I added it to my cart, so hopefully its still there when I get my money in to my account tomorrow. I got $400 for the GNote which is a great deal I think, considering the Nexus 4 is only $350, so including shipping I think I made a $25 profit or something like that.
I really don't like the screen or the design tbh.
I love my samoled I have an s3 and the note now, just got rid of the galaxy nexus for the s3
