So last night i was cycling home from a club and i must say i was a little drunk. So i dropped my phone on the street when i was calling my gf, next thing i know my touchscreen didn't work anymore. So i wanna know if i should send it for repair or just buy a new phone (something in the pricerange of the HTC desire S or the X10 itself), and wich phone i should buy.
Thanks in advance
What is your phone company? For example, ATT or verison or other one like that?

Repair will cost more than a new phone. Call your phone company if you are under contract. They will have some special deals for you.
open it up and see if any of the ribbons are disconnected http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6368979#post6368979

I live over at the netherlands and phone companies aren't that generous over here. Nevertheless I have a contract with t-mobile. so would you reccomend me a HTC desire over a X10? (wich cost the same around here)
Got an offer to buy a SGS for €300, so i couldn't refuse. That thing is blazing fast btw and the screen is sooo pretty and i'm only on stock rom that makes me wonder what it can do

The SGS1 or SGS2?
If you got the SGS1, that's not the best deal but a SGS2 would be a very nice deal.

I would go play with the SGS2 and the Evo 3D if you can. Both are great phones, so it's going to come down to Sense vs TouchWiz.
Also, HTC's bluetooth stack is BORKED and they still haven't fixed it yet. It won't phonebook sync to older cars with Bluetooth 2.x
For me, that's a deal breaker and I would get the SGS2 instead. But if you have a 2011 car, it probably has Bluetooth 3.x and you should be fine.

Can someone tell me which company samsung or htc has a better customer support and would always upgrade there models with the latest versions of the os (faster)....?..(I have seen/noticed sometimes that samsung is a bit slow in releasing updates)

Hehe....the high end phones in india launch at this price range only......the iphone 4 launched at 35000 officially....which is like a month or two ago.....and was selling unofficially at 40000 since a year....(which it doesn't deserve at all...(.my opinion)) .....
$1 values around RS43-44

I wouldn't only solely due to the speakers on the item. Otherwise, I'd say go for it.
I would only recommend this phone if you want the best phone ever made!
Definitely recommend this beast of a phone! however that price is tooooooo high, wait for it to go down a bit and when it does GO FOR IT!
Absolutely....I would play with both the SGS and the HTC. However, Samsung is terrible with updates. The Epic 4G here in the US on Sprint hasn't even got GB yet. It took forever for them to release Froyo.
On the other hand, HTC has very good track record of updates/support. I didn't get the 3D movie on the SD card that came with the phone in the US and *****ed to sprint and actually got a call from HTC and they took my address, had me on a conference call explaining what I did to determine I didn't have it, etc.
On the update side, I had the OG EVO and it was updated pretty regularly. I'd say probably 5-6 updates in a year, which is pretty damn good if you ask me.
The Evo 3d is awesome but if the SGSII is $120 cheaper, I'd rather get that.
Phones there may be expensive there but at least the actual cell phone service is cheap.
The carriers here in the US love having their way with us customers, no lube either.
Samsungs customer service stinks! I recently came from the Epic, and we had to wait almost 8 months for froyo. Not to mention the code that Samsung used to get it operational was all hacked up. I would go for the HTC. You'll hate yourself for dealing with a Samsung piece of equiptment.

Can you just go by currency exchange rates alone though? What's the average wage over there? How long does it take you to earn 30000? For me 700 would take a little over a week but of course I have bills, expenses etc

Also what does bad ESN stand for??
Bad ESN means the phone can't be activated on Sprints network. Either its a stolen phone or the bill wasn't paid. The
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
That might be a tough one to find cheap as it is so new, you could look for one with a broken digitizer and replace it, but the digitizers are rather expensive if you could find them for this phone, so the amount of money saved would be negligible. better off buying a new one or waiting a few months. a bad ESN is the serial number of the phone that is essentially banned from the network because someone did not pay their bill and the contract was terminated or someone reported the phone stolen so the ESN will not work on the network. you can buy phones with bad ESN's and flash them to work on Metro PCS i believe but since this phone is so new thats probably low on the list for the Developers.
I'll sell you my photon for $300 after the 14th since I'm upgrading to the iphone 4s.

How can you turn your back on Android? :-( :-( :-( jk I was thinking about getting the iPhone now that its on Sprint but I knew I would be licking myself in the ass for switching from a Galaxy S2 to a 3.5 inch iPhone. Plus this thing screams and I understand that the iPhone is smooth and fast but not then this. Lol

I've missed the iphone since I left at&t,but Sprint's plans are just too good. I don't dislike Android,but it's nowhere near iOS when it comes to user experience. The fact that there is lag when swiping homescreens is pretty embarrassing considering it's a dual core phone. I was thinking about Nexus Prime but the ICS video is really underwhelming with the butt ugly UI.

Related & I hope I'm not hijacking but I lost my old Hero and am going to buy a Photon. Seems like Best Buy has the best deal for $99 these days? Any chance / opinions that the price will go down further soon or should I simply bite the bullet and get it ASAP?

$99 on contract is the cheapest I've found locally also, I've seen the Evo 3D for $79 online but the Photon has been praised in all it's reviews for having such a good signal.

I've heard nothin but good things about this phone except the fact that it has lag sometimes from screen switches which I'm use too from hero, evo, and evo shift.
But if anyone is getting rid of there photon for the iphone, let me know I would be glad to make a deal or something.

My iPhone 4S should be in friday from Sprint so my photon will be up for grabs soon.
cheapest without contract
The cheapest I found it was at wuzbee (.com) a few months ago; when I got mine it was something like $370 without a contract. The price went up a little since then and is showing out of stock now. Looks like there are some sellers on ebay with lots of good ratings that have it for around $380 now. Got another for my wife with a contract extension at Best Buy for $100 shortly after I got mine.
Look on Craigslist they go for $230-300 depending on condition. Before you buy call Sprint and verify that it's a good phone to use (as in good ESN). I bought mine BRAND new for $270, and I mean NEW as in I took off the plastic. Good luck.
ok well people who are going to sell there photon, send me a Private Message with a price. i will reply to it with in 24 hours
please and thank you :-D

If in good shape sure...its not a bad price
I personally wouldn't for that price.... just because you to tweak this damn thing so much before it works well. GPS is junk(no matter what you do), there is no 2.3, plasticy(but durable) construction, and probably used. Development is still good but if your coming from a mytouch 4g slide you'll notice a difference in speed.
No. Buy a new phone like the galaxy nexus with a contract or nexus s w/o contract.

Hi
Well I was wondering since I'm about ready for my Tmobile phone upgrade, I wanted to know if the amaze 4G is a good phone to have. I'm currently using the HTC Wildfire S and I want to get it out of my sight. Please comment if this is a good idea to get this phone before I upgrade. Thanks
Since you're so close to your upgrade you might want to wait for the One S.
If you can handle not being able to have a spare battery and SD card. You do get a s4 processor which should get better battery life and perform better also.

Yes but it's gonna be too expensive from the look of it. Also since the one s is going out, there is a good chance of the amaze prices to drop dramatically.
Well I just bought an amaze today, have to wait for it to come. Im not on post-paid and I don't feel like dropping $700 on a phone for he One S.
I probably would've waited if I had a contract. The Amaze is great so I hear.. will know in a few days.
I think its really down to your personal preference, an little older CPU with a SD card and spare batteries. Or a new CPU with no spare battery and 16gb locked.
I was tempted to wait, but ended with the Amaze.

Sent from my HTC Amaze 4G using XDA Premium App
Amaze Hands down! i was considering Galaxy SII X but Amaze has better resolution, beter cameras (Front and back) even though its heavier imo it has a 'nicer' design. The cons are as follows:
-Weight
-Lack of Rom Development (We havent achieved S-OFF, and WIFI Drivers are a problem so i read)
-Screen Bleed at the capacitive buttons at the problem ... not a big deal its just at the bottom it will look brighter.)
-battery might suck on stock. For me im running stock and i get full 24 hour usage (phone calls, texting, tweeting, facebooking, browsing, music)
Pros: everything else

Thanks and im getting this phone
So how much did each of you pay when you first got it from tmobile?
i bought mine out right bnib for 380$
bought mine from a guy on xda for $360 with box in new condition. only thing messed up is the vibration (it rattles). that's it though
I don't regret buying it at all, I like the heft to it. it makes it feel expensive. the only other phone I wish I would have waited for is the xperia s which isn't much of a upgrade. considering it has the same processor and same amount of RAM, only huge plus is that its playstation certified and the design.
Mine was 350 with contract but if I would've waited one more week it would've Ben free but I don't care. I love my phone

I love my amaze! Upgraded from the G2 so this phone is lighter compared to the G2. Ya support is low ATM but we have some good devs working on some AOSP ROM's. S-off is still down the road but I'm sure it will be obtained, once that happens and we have cm 9 running I'll bet people will be more interested in this device.
And I got mine for about 350 after the rebate and discount.

My slight dilema is this....
I had a HTC Sensation, got bored and purchased a Nokia Lumia 800. Don't like the phone, don't like the OS and want to go back to Android. I only have a budget of between £200 - £250 to buy another phone and just wanted the opinion of the vast number of members on what phone to get within that price range.
Don't mind a used phone but don't want to go back to Sensation. The Galaxy SII is going over what I can afford so what's the next best thing? Needs to be loud!
Thanks in advance for any opinions.

you wanna ask yourself what you want from the phone too tbh. Personal preference for me is one with a hardware keyboard so i went for the desire Z. never looked back from it. works how i want it to and not had any issues unless i caused them myself hehe.
Managed to find myself a Galaxy S Plus for less than £200 in as new condition with an 8GB card, that'll do until my contract is up in July.
I have to admit, the Lumia 800 does have some nice features though, although my wife wasn't impressed when my phone read out a text through the car kit by my brother complaining about his internet connection, I however was rolling with laughter!!!
Thanks for the help anyway.
