Hello,
I looked for used phone and I found this: http://allegro.pl/unikalna-sony-xperia-p-lt22i-prototyp-jak-nowy-i4016215524.html . Price - about 100 euro.
I read it has got android 2.3.5 beta and I've noticed some buttons (?) on the left side of phone. Is it good choice? What should I expect from this phone? Everything working well or bad cover, screen/something else?
Not a good choice for about or around 100 euro.u can expect freeze and unexpected shutdown.I wouldn't go for prototype for daily use.

100 € in country where base Nokia x costs 140 € and where you need to pay 720 € for base iPhone 5s is a good price.
I know more than something about freezes because I own LG L5 which has got 0.8 GHz single core processor (antutu score - from 2890 to 3300) and I had LG GT540 with orange brand (worst possible - shutdowns in every week).
Phone on photos looks like for daily use.

Hello friends!
I have to buy a new phone with Android 2.2. I saw this phone and found it to be pretty reasonable. Problem is that none of the dealers here are ready to give a demo of the phone and I dont know how does the display looks,the quality of the touch screen and the speed of the phone.
I had been using Samsung Galaxy 3 before this and got really pissed off with its speed, although the touch screen and the screen colors were very good.
Can anyone tell me how does the phone behave. Moreover, some one told me that the touch screen of this phone doesnt behave like the Samsung phones. Unlike Samsung touch screen in which we just need to give a slight touch for the phone to react, in this phone we have to press slightly. Is it true?
Please help.

Yea its a liitle bit true about touch but with me it happned only in apps when i tried to make my fingers fly over the phone.
A little advice buy lg optimus Q becasue its better!
Why don't you watch review videos on YouTube to get an idea of the device? Optimus One is my first Android phone, and I really love it. Have had it for about a month now, but still can't stop showing people what it can do, and playing with it all the time till the battery drains out LOL. For the price, it's a really good device, compared to others like xperia, or htc (from the same price range).

How much will Optimus Q cost in India???
How about browsing your local stores mate?
There are some slight issues with O1 , some of them being fixed by mik and caveman's work. Also Noejn and Paolo , the authors of the best ROMS , at least in my opinion , hold title to : Void(best overall ) , Prime(stability ) , Megatron( best performance ) and Paolo's LOL rom which is the only one to cook a 2.2.2 version of android .
Also the phone has officially received Android 2.2.2 recently and will receive pretty soon Gingerbread .
So if you're in doubt about the support and popularity that such a budget received then stay assured that you have nothing to worry .
Cost is exactly same as galaxy 3

it will cost around 15k or rs 15,ooo in india.
but if u r low on budget then p500 is best choice i have it for a month and cannot let even anyone else touch it!!!!!!!!
Samsung doesn't give more than 256 MB ram on its non flagship phones. P500 has 512. Only this feature is enough for you to make a choice.
Samsung is playing a very dirty game by restricting the ram of all its newly launched non-luxury phones. I7500 died only due to ram. Spica is taking its last breaths.

are you sure they uses Qualcomm processor? i think they use Samsung's inhouse SOCs. but i think that can be tested by overclocking the chips to 760-800Mhz.

not really worth the extra 3.5k INR. you are getting just a bigger screen, better & usable camera. what you loose are: better screen (cause both uses same resolution), ram, battery life, weight.
if you use the camera lot & ok with less battery life, go for Ace. but Optimus One still has lot of life left. also i doubt Ace will ever taste official Gingerbread.

Buy the optimus one! its to good and u will become addicted to it.
Belive me dude its real!
one of my friend took it for only 5 mins he couldn't leave it!!
I personally will never buy another Samsung phone again. Maybe Android, but even then I'd be very careful... From my experience their software is buggy, and they don't update it either. It makes no difference if the model is 200 euros or 400 euros, you'll get one or two updates until your model is old already.

Are you sure that Optimus has 512 MB RAM because if it has, thats some thing to go for. Moreover, can some one please tell me the colour quality and touch screen quality of LG. As per the specks of the phone, Optimus has only 256K colour while all other phones these days has 16M colours. As for the touchscreen, do we really have to press a little for the screen to react. Moreover, does a Optimus have a QVGA or a HVGA screen type??
It has 512 MB RAM and HVGA res. Why do you call 256k ONLY ? It's enough, 16M is crap, you cannot see the difference between them. (don't get me wrong, but I would not pay more for the same image/clarity/brightness on a TFT/LCD panel; AMOLED is something else)
Any idea as to when will any of the below mentioned models be launched in India and whats going to be an approx price:
LG Optimus 2X SU660
LG Optimus 3D P920
LG P990 Optimus Speed
LG Optimus Black
LG Optimus Mach LU3000
hey wait a little bit and buy a samsung galaxy gio!
What phone is the best? My bugdet is 300 Euros. Please help.
For 395 you can get the Samsung Nexus unbranded. For 300 and best one, well you can see ebay.
I went from x8 to Xperia Play, no regrets. There are many superior phones, but for your budget you cant have the best ones. I also had 300 euros so I considered play and arc s, I'm a sony fanboy yes. In my opinion arc s is the best choice out of those two, but I really value the fisical controls pad, it is so much better than gaming on sceen!
I would buy Xperia S but I don't have that much money

Dell Venue is the best, and I am also planning to have Venue, the 4" screen, 8MP camera...
You should have a loot at it.
I heard Alcatel launced a really good and cheap phone: Alcatel One Touch 995 (OT-995). It offers a 1,4 Ghz single-core processor, a screen of 4,3 inch, a 5 megapixel camera, and a great back (in my opinion). If you buy the phone seperately, it will only cost you around $240. Well, I live in the Netherland, and here, it's really cheap for such a nice phone
My Samsung Galaxy Gio just died yesterday, so I might pick up one soon The only sad thing is there's not a XDA forum-section for that phone yet, so searching for ROMs will take some more time...
buy whatever brand you want but dont get a single core
buy samsung galaxy s2 (a bit more than your budget, i know its a budget but still)
or lg p990 or wait for gs3
then these will go down in price, just one or two months
ohh you already have p990, wait for quadcore dude or buy gs2
Depending on the 3g network frequency your carrier uses i would recommend a samsung galaxy s captivate (230$) or motorola atrix (340$) but before you buy any phone check the hsdpa/wcdma frequency

So I'm about to upgrade my Galaxy Tab 8.9 to a Nexus 7. It's very exciting because of Tegra 3, but at the same time this means I will be testing my games on a super high spec product, so I won't be able to tell if they run slowly on most phones. Instead of keeping my 8.9 I'm going to try and get a quite low spec Android phone/mp3 player so I can test my stuff on the Nexus and then on a very low spec device to compare. I thought I'd ask you guys who probably know a little more about Android than me for some recommendations. Here are the requirements:
- Must not cost more than £130 (happy to buy used). The cheaper the better. I'd like to stay below £100 if I can help it.
- Maximum spec is 1GHz CPU 512MB RAM. No more powerful than this please. The less powerful the better (within reason!)
- Screen resolution 480 x 800 or similar.
- I don't need to use it as a phone, so an MP3 player or tablet will be fine.
- Obviously it must have a GPU, for compatibility with OpenGL 2.0.
Any suggestions?
I think some eBay hunting will yield some used Galaxy S phones, any variant for $150 or less which should be €120 (I think?)

Buy Vision, its cheap

That's by Huawei? It costs quite a lot more than I wanted to pay...
Look on ebay and find something used or see if anything is for sale here. You should have no problem finding something.
Try the ZTE SCORE X500 on Amazon it's $60-70 dollar's.
Any apps or games I installed work fine no lag or problems.
And it runs 2.3.3 Gingerbread.
Not sure about OPEN GL.
Only problem is the phone has no sim card and it has a proprietary micro-SD card. But it you root it you can fix that no problem.

HD2, Desire? Relatively weak and with lots of ROMs to test your software on.
desire series... desire, desire z, desire s... don't buy the desire hd though...
———————————————————
i didn't mean to mock you or to offend you in any kind of way
The HTC Desire does seem to be the best one to go for. I had a Desire HD for testing a little while ago. Slightly too much RAM otherwise was good for testing. The ZTE one seems good but the resolution is much too slow. The original HTC Desire has the exact specs I need, I will have a look at the best price I can get that one for
There are 2 more ZTE phones on Amazon under $100 check those out. Don't remember their names.
The Samsung Vitality check that out.

Wanna buy my HTC Wildfire?
- 768 mHz overcocked
- i don't know about the ram
- unlocked
- used for around 7 months
Thanks Leon but Wildfire is too low res, and my Girlfriend's old Wildfire is still lying around somewhere (bloody awful phone IMO!)
Something like the Droid X or Milestone X, they sold a lot back in 2010 and now that is been 2 years there should be a lot of them for sale. It has 1Ghz single core, 512MB RAM, 854x480 display
I was thinking of keeping my HTC evo for ROM development purposes, but if my parents OK it I can sell my HTC Evo 4g for $100-$150 im thinking of. ive seen it go for $200 on amazon lately. its 1GHZ snapdragon, 512MB ram, and i believe its 800x480. it also has only a couple hundred MB of space also. im almost ready for an upgrade, so I can use the $$$ to save money to my custom build Linux PC later this year.
I would go for the good ole g1.. Or mytouch 3g

I'm considering to buy a Nokia Lumia 800 for 99.90€ + 900 from my mobile carrier.
I don't know very much Windows Phone OS and I know that's it won't be an WP8 upgrade...only 7.8.
I have a HTC Tattoo...and I like Android OS (I have also a Zte Blade @ 4.1.2)
Is it worth that value? Yesterday I played an Lumia 800 on a store and the phone is beautiful and the OS is very, very smooth and fast.
Cheers :beer:
And sorry my poor English...

Worth Buying ??
I too want to know the same . In India it now comes at a very tempting price of 17.5k after huge price cut . The phone looks beautiful . But the only concern i have is that with the launch of WP8 ... I'll be left behind . But considering the price this phone is a VFM . Worth buying as of now ??
As my razr maxx is Deceased to be recovered in the months to come i decided to buy something new. And as i live abroad and prices are diferent than what you guys would find in the USA i can buy any of the following:
-MOTO G (Cheap and efficient but find it ugly and with no 4g, seems stupid to buy a new phone without 4g, GPU 305 adreno) - 326ppi. R$ 699 - U$ 299
-XPERIA SP (Good, not cheap, but with 4G but no guarantees of upgrade to 4.4 - nice GPU 320 adreno) - 319ppi. R$ 999 - U$ 416
-LUMIA 625 (Cheap and with 4G BUT its WP8 and i have no experience with it and it has a low ppi screen - 200ppi) GPU 305 adreno. R$ 799 - U$ 332
And dont say MOTO X because it would go almost U$ 550, Different realities.
So, any hints?
Thanks guys.
Maybe wait for Xperia z1 compact? Wait for good price

The Xperia SP looks pretty awesome IMO. That price tag though..
Is the Nexus 5 in question? IMO there isn't anything better for its price right now.
Is the lg g2 available there? That was my upgrade from a razr maxx. I couldn't imagine having to go back to a phone that needs to be charged every day.
