With android you have to consider several things, if you don't want to have a laggy piece of shit:
RAM, CPU and internal memory!

RAM: Should not be less than 512 MB. End of story.

CPU: Should not be less than 800 MHz.

Internal Memory: Don't buy a desire. Really Laughing Get something with at least a gig of internal memory (where the apps are mainly stored), EVEN if you can add a bigger SD Card.

I have this almost new iPhone 3GS I was planning to throw... eh sell away in the next 3 month. It's almost as good as new and opens beer bottles like a boss. Some of the casing plastic is missing but that adds to its aerodynamics when thrown onto the ground.


"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."

Seems that my operator has some smartphone deals so I might be able to afford more expensive phones. gonna have to do some research to see if its worth to change my contract.

Get one with AMOLED. I saw a Desire and some cheap Samsung and screens just suck.

As pumpy said. Add 50€ to that and get yourself a Galaxy S. Amazing piece of hardware.
I really love the desire screen myself, but dont think iv ever seen AMOLED phone before.

Bought myself a Galaxy s2 a few weeks back, and it's fucking amazing. You might not have the awesome game selection as Ishits and such has, but i love the customizability and the smoothness.

Don't know much about phones, I think I'd just get the iPhone if I had to buy one. Pay it in one go and save money, the subscription thing is a scam. Like all loans Troll Dad

You might have the AMOLED Desire like I do Smile

HTC started shipping with S-LCD a few months after release because Samsung couldn't keep up with their demand Laughing

what the fuck man, the stock Galaxy is terrible, battery life is a joke, and it's laggy unless you fiddle with it (add new roms and shit)
At least the Desire is working great out-of-the-box, the Samsung has better quality though, but some shit with it isn't right, dialer, for one is annoying as hell.

Super AMOLED Plus you mean, that's what the SGS II has Smile

Super AMOLED versus AMOLED is hardly any difference (it gets slightly brighter), but Samsung's Plus variation changes the underlying pixel matrix. Result: Super AMOLED Plus looks a bit sharper, more crisp.

The iPhone 4 still gets slightly ahead in ppi, but that in turn does quite a lot worse in contrast/black levels and colour accuracy, so it's a pretty straight-up trade off Smile

one i got, same resolution as most androids 480*800

800mhz cpu , 512 rom/ram , 2gb sd included, 5mp cam and 720p video recording which is quite decent, reviews will say it doesnt but it got fixed long ago by firmware upgrade.

At 300 euros its a small bump from the 240 euros for the wildfire s ( which isnt a bad phone for the price at all, if not way better than comparable samsungs )

But if you want super amoled then phones like the samsung galaxy will cost you 500 euros. i decided it wasnt worth it since the acer does everything i want it to do at excellent speed.

Galaxy S stock 2.3.3 works great. 2.2 was shitty.

actually you're right, all the people who i know who own a Galaxy S said that the 2.2 was shit and since they upgraded the phone got alot better
