Phone upgrade time

Hey

Time for an upgrade but a bit lost on what to get.

It has to be android.
4G compatible for future proof
Not tablet size (S3 and HTC one X are MASSSSSIVE!)

So pretty much a top specced phone in a decent size (a worthy upgrade for the HTC desire :cool:)

What else is there? I did look at the HTC one S but something doesn't seem complete
 
Galaxy S3 is no where near a tablet size compared to the Galaxy Note :P

I do a lot of Android testing and the S3 is feature packed and feels nice in the hand. One X isn't as wide so it's a lot more easier to hold with one hand but I haven't been on the One X as much as the S3.
 
only 4g phones atm are the ifail5, htc one xl and s3 if you import it. where abouts in shropshire are you because i doubt you'll get 4g for a while. i live by the border with herefordshire and i struggle to get H on times.

ive got a one x and its far easier to use than it looks. try having a go on some phones in store or on a friends? :)
 
I'm from the U.S. so I'm not quite sure about what phones have 4g or not, but the Motorola Razr i (Razr M in the States) is a pretty nice handset and packs a big screen with a small body. It also has in Intel Atom chip inside.
 
I'm also looking at messing with custom roms etc. so I suppose it has to be a popular handset in the developer market.

I live in Ludlow so we won't be getting 4g like ever - but I would like the feature when visiting places etc. I suppose the thing with the screen size is being able to fit it in any pocket plus be able to hold it comfortably with one hand
 
there should be a new Google nexus handset out soon that has 4g so if you could wait off for that although there is nothing confirmed there are plenty of rumours and its time for an update
 
Look up the Galaxy S3 mini and S2 plus, the articles I've read about them suggest they'll be out in the next couple of months, one of them might be what you're looking for.
 
id wait for 4g to properly get going first. just get a one x + or s2/s3 now because i doubt ludlow will get it for a longggggggggg time (im about 5 miles away from you btw :D)
 
I have the S3 and I love it. I had the galaxy s for 2 years and I hated it, I always said I would never get another galaxy. But when it came to upgrade I didnt want to get the 4s and the 5 wasnt out, so I went for the s3 on a year contract so if it was as rubbish as the s it would only be for a year.

I can honestly say it is absolutely brilliant. Im normally quick to find faults in the things I buy but for this I cant really. There are a few small niggles where I think they could of done thing better for me but for everyone else it is probably the best way.

S3 all the way mate. Excellent phone.
 
i have a dev_sample of the lumia 920
it is faster than the S3 and iphone5

if you cannot wait until next spring and want a lumia, do NOT get the 910..... get the lumia900, or even lumia800.

there is a hardware issue with the 910 which makes is sluggish

HINT: when the wp8 is released, the 800, 810, 900, and 710 will be getting the OS upgrade too ;) (but only those models.... the other lumias will remain at 7.5

nope
i am currently contracting for nokia, and working on the 920 :P

Well i just found this.
In terms of release date, for AT&T reports say it will be Oct. 21. Numerous tech sites, including BGR and GforGames, and WPCentral and its sources also re-confirmed the Oct. 21 launch date. The latest rumors are that the release date for Verizon is sometime in November.
 
leaked here

only available for pre-order in the US on the 21st Oct.

that means that when the 21st Oct arrives, the US can pre-order it... this does not mean that US can get their hands on one on that date ;)

the source came from here

(clever marketing and wording)

EDIT: and why would m$ allow any wp8 device to be sold before win8 on the 26/10/2012 !!!
