New phone Hello all,
I am currently looking to get a new GOOD phone. I was looking at the iPhone for but pricey at £510 pounds.
Can anyone recommend a good alternative android phone. I was looking at the Desire HD but the battery doesn't seem to be that good.
My current phone is the wildfire, Angry birds and other games lag and even browsing lag.
Worst phone ever.
Thanks,
_Ash

I have Samsung Galaxy S and its the best phone I've ever had. I got it from the Samsung store for around 440 euros (SIM free). | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Compaq OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 CPU Intel core 2 duo T 5550 @ 1.83 GHz Motherboard Intel 965 express mobile chipset Memory 3 GB DR 2 @ 667 MHz Graphics Card Onboard with approx 512 MB RAM Sound Card Onboard Monitor(s) Displays 15"4 inch widescreen Hard Drives 160 GB SATA WD.

The battery life is OK. If you'll be using the phone on 3G network, browsing,Wi-FI, music/video playing, etc., it wont last more than a day and would require charging almost everyday. But that's how smartphones are! | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Compaq OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 CPU Intel core 2 duo T 5550 @ 1.83 GHz Motherboard Intel 965 express mobile chipset Memory 3 GB DR 2 @ 667 MHz Graphics Card Onboard with approx 512 MB RAM Sound Card Onboard Monitor(s) Displays 15"4 inch widescreen Hard Drives 160 GB SATA WD.

It runs very good. There are talks on android forums about the 3D test and other benchmarks testing and Galaxy S tops the chart. My personal experience is also quite satisfactory with this phone. No lag while playing any local or network game, no lag during playing HD video whatsoever. I'd suggest you try this phone for a week and check it yourself.
P.S. : My few friends uses HTC Desire HD and that works very good as well. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Compaq OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 CPU Intel core 2 duo T 5550 @ 1.83 GHz Motherboard Intel 965 express mobile chipset Memory 3 GB DR 2 @ 667 MHz Graphics Card Onboard with approx 512 MB RAM Sound Card Onboard Monitor(s) Displays 15"4 inch widescreen Hard Drives 160 GB SATA WD.

Is it worth looking at the Nexus S? It seems the same as the Galaxy S? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Me :D OS Windows 7 CPU Intel Core i7 Extreme Edition 3.33 GHz Motherboard Asus Rampage II Extreme Memory 12.0GB Graphics Card ATI Radeon 5970 Black Edition, 5970 & Nvidia 9500 Sound Card On board Monitor(s) Displays 2x 24" PSU 700W Crosshair Case Antec Twelve Hundred Cooling Water Cooling and Air Hard Drives 2TB WD
