I'm currently running a Droid x2 on Verizon, but straight talks sim card program has caught my attention recently. I know the phone must be GSM and the only GSM carrier in the area is at&t. So my question is this, what phone would you recommend for a heavy media user? Also it would be great if it could run ics or jb

My recommendation would be the galaxy s2 or 3 but my recommendation is a little biased as i love my s2 and it supports ICS and JB and the features are awesome large storage plus sdcard. I have the I777 from AT&T unlocked and on tmobile works great
I would love a s2 but finding one on the cheap has been a chore. Question if it has a bad esn can i still put a straight talk sim in it?

galaxy s2 or s3 is also good but i dunno about the price...
Price wise the note and note 2 are 400 plus. Im looking more toward 250. Any one know anything about this Blu Vivo 4.3?

Samsung Galaxy S2, Sony Xperia L ,Xperia SP, Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini ,Galaxy S3 mini, Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 (cheaper one) and there are muuch more phones on the store,so go there and choose what's would be the best for your budget.
Me personally i would wait until later this yr the xperia z ultra, note 3, and htc one max are some high end phones with great displays and will handle your needs plus more.

There are a number of reasons. Between me and my wife there is an iPhone 4, 4th Gen touch, ipad 2, kindle fire, MacBook pro and my note. I don't have loyalty or animosity for either brand and they all have their place. I can also afford apps for each ecosystem.
I prefer the 4:3 vs 16x9 tablet form factor. I have used the xoom and transformer and wasn't impressed. My 2 year old neice uses it when she's over as well. She can't figure out the xoom.
My ipad2 is very different from my touch and my wife's iphone4. They each fill different roles.

This phone beat the galaxy s 3 in many benchmarks, has a more fluid flavor of Android, and the better camera.
What do you think?
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
The SIII, One X and GNex devices are all top of the line smartphones and you can't go wrong with either one.
There are pros and cons to each device. The SIII already has source, and benchmarks don't really mean squat.
Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love this phone, but there isnt a phone that has bragging rights over all others.
I've seen a lot of people say that the SIII has the better camera between the two.
And best is subjective. Performance and power-wise, we are tied for first with the SIII. But many would fault these phones for being too big.
the best phone is the one you dont have yet
EVO has the better screen imo. I don't care for AMOLED's.

This thread just boils down to being another evo 4g lte vs gs3 thread.
I'd say the two phones are about equal as far as software/hardware is concerned--comes down to brand/overlay preference, I guess.
Benchmarks? I guess benchmarks are bragging rights for some people.
I don't get what you mean by a more fluid flavor of android, though.

I'd say this is my favorite phone on the U.S. market.
Nope each phone has flaws. Like this evo sucks at multitasking. The s3 has crappy build quality and the gnex has a a not so great camera

Buy at least s3 ..
You can get used s3 around 12K or so .
Btw i dont think that 1 GB ram will be enough for next 3 years .
So you should better buy nexus 4 or 5 ..

I'm using it as primary phone. My brother has another p500 and is running by gingersnap @neko95 . I'm thinking about changing to a new phone in the future, but here in Argentina we have a lot of issues with importing technology and serious economic problems related with dollars. Just today we were able to buy some dollars to save. So I'm thinking of getting a SII or SIII mini. Or something like that. The nexux branch DOENS'T EVEN EXIST HERE!.
mine is still working i havent used it in the last one and a half year because i had an omnia w and now Im using a N4. my sister used my old O1 for a year after me.

The M8 is the same as the One, same design but instead of going forwards htc did what they did best and went backwards. They left the ridiculous black bar with the HTC logo.. AND PUT ON SCREEN BUTTONS WTF ARE THEY THINKING?
Sony Z2, well it's a Sony all Sony phones in the past had horrible screens, software and cameras.
Samsung Galaxy S5, seems like the best bet because it looks like it's going to turn out to be the best phone out of the 3.. we will just wait and see.
It's one of those, the best one out of those 3. No clue what that is now though.

You sound like you have literally no idea what you're talking about.
The new One is the same as the old One?! Maybe aesthetically but that's the same thing everyone's said about the S4 and S5 for a year now and you seem happy to praise them?
Sony has notoriously had awesome cameras so you've no clue there and all the hands on of the Z2 say the screen is finally amazing.
And the "S5 is going to be the best bet because it's going to be the best of the three"?! That doesn't even make any sense! Did you even read what you wrote?
You make me sad for humanity...

I was on the fence to hold out for the note 4 also, but this g3 came in at a bargain and I can't see myself paying $299 for a phone on contact, I just wibt do it! In that case, I'd just get a nexus device for $350 off contract. Just my opinion.
