by any ways tv out can be performed on motorola milestone
Nope not that I'm aware, luv my Milestone but had to buy a Galaxy S to get decent TV out and graphics, real missed opportunity really, the later versions of the Droid do tv out but no the bulk standard Moto Droid Milestone, although I would be happy to be corrected if anyone is the wiser.

Hello fellow SGS owners, I love my phone but I also get bored easily.
So which phone will you be getting next?
I'm thinking either
Xperia play - Hardly an upgrade but will make playing games a lot more fun especially old snes/gba games like mario/racing etc which really need a gamepad
Galaxy s2 - This is a good phone the next 1 has got to be good also right?
Evo 3d - Super specs but not even official in uk.
I also have another motive, a 20% discount card for o2 (shop in uk) which means I will be able to pick up a play for about £350 - The card is only valid till the end of the month so I'm guessing there is no chance of getting the evo but maybe just maybe the S2 will be released in time
So what would you do? or is there something else you are after?
Galaxy s2, but more than happy with sgs 1 at minute, for emulators I use a zeemote anyway so not bothered about xperia play.

Galaxy S II.
I think my next choice would be tegra 2 based. Just because of the support nvidia can get.
Which makes me disappointed that the galaxy s 2 may not be tegra 2 depending on the region. Also I personally prefer 4 inch screens.
The atrix has a higher screen resolution meaning that it gets less fps in games. And its pentile LCD which isn't the best. Amoled pentile is great as we all know. But non amoled pentile is known for its screen door effect.
Which leaves the LG optimus x2. Great ips LCD, not quite amoled, but good. And tegra 2. Perfect size screen.
LG optimus x2 for me.
Although doesn't the optimus 3D use the sgx 540, same gpu that's in the sgs, but overclocked and it kicks the tegra 2's ass if I remember rightly.
Good old sgs hardware
Tmobile G2x(optimus 2x in other region) because of the almost vanilla android experience, it is tegra, cyanogen will be supporting it. and its simple and affordable. No more no less and easy to hack? Haha lol
My other options is optimus 3d cause of omap4 and SG2 only just because of its looks.

Think I will be sticking with my Sx2 for a good while yet.
I'm waiting until the sgs3 to switch. Dual core is only three times performance of single while quad is fifteen times single core. I buy unlocked so I might as well keep what I have for a while and then get the absolute most for my money when I do upgrade.

EVO 3D or SGS II
SGS 2!!!!! Galaxy Series Rocks!!
Even though I swore I would never get another Samsung phone after the i8910, I now have the Galaxy S & next will be the S2.
Sgs2

If you really need / want a new phone then wait for SGS II but i would advise you to save your money and don't waste it on mobiles.
i heared rumors of the streak 2 could be my next one dell seams to leave the bootloader open don't they?
perhaps i'll go with the evo 3d i am into that whole 3d stuff but if a nexus s 2 or a nexus2 is on the horizon that would with the right specs be my choice above all

The Galaxy S II
Lol not a lot of love for the Play then.
That is pretty much my thoughts but I think I needed you guys to convince me not to go for the Play now.
Here is a question though, if I get to the end of the month and no other phones have been released should I buy a xperia play for £350? do you think I'll be able to sell it on a few month on for about that amount?
By the time my contract runs out my next phone will be quad core
maybe the Galaxy S3 when it gets released next year or if there is something better, then that, currently i have no reason to switch, the performance is great of the SGS, we have the latest Android, maybe we get the next one also and if not then we have maybe a really stable CM7 or CM8, for me it needs more then just dualcore to get me on a new phone.
Galaxy S 2 for sure. Galaxy is the best phone I've ever used by a mile. Modded to the max.
Also got an iPhone 4 (completely modded) but that phone is just a joke. Feels 2 years older than my S.

hey guys, need a little advice here.
I spontaneously bought the Tab 2 7.0 for Black Friday, but I've been looking at the Nexus 7 for a while now. What should I choose?
I like the touchwiz features but the cleanness of stock android. I use my tablet for: music, facebook, instagram, games, memos, reading, watching netflix. Is it worth the extra $40? (Tab was $160 for me)
Thanks

Go with the Nexus 7, you won't regret it.

Yes yes yes yes. The extra $40 is well worth the cost of N7, & the speed/upgradability is much better on the N7.
get the nexus unless you MUST HAVE tv out.. for 13.00 you can get hdmi dock for gtab...the g tab also has the ir remote dual cameras and sd card slot. thou no ap/to sd .
Ours has 8 gb its slower then nexus but runs ok... My spouse Bonnie Loves the Ir blaster remote .But i hear it only works with some cable companies .Ours its great..
The nexus is twice as fast 16 or 32 gb storage (32 gb is what mine is). Its well worth the extra money ...
you decide...
I love the touch wiz stuff but I have the SGS3 so I get my fix there so I opted for the nexus. I will say this the WiFi tab2 is getting Jellybean right now so if you like the tab that will def be a nice addition. Also weigh the no SD/SD card situation to me for what I use my tablet for its not important as I use alot of cloud. To other's it could be important.

Had a GTab 2 7" before switching to a Nexus 7 and couldn't be happier after switching.

Have you seen the specs on the gtab? They suck hard... :-/ get the N7

N7 is worlds better overall in specs and support.
-Brought to you by Marino's Nexus 7-
Just keep the galaxy tab and install cm10 on it. Its officially supported and its essentially a WiFi galaxy nexus hardware wise and has the very dev friendly omap soc.

If you were only going tu use it for media consumption I'd say stick with the GTab but since you also want to do gaming I'd recommend you spend the extra $40 and get pretty much the top of the line (at 7 inches). Actually if possible you should spend $90 and get a 32gig because graphic intensive games will kick the **** out of your 16gig really fast.

Nexus 7 ahoo.
I too was considering N7 and Tab 2 7.0. I was looking for a used one on CL. I actually wanted the Tab 2 more than the N7 due to the expandable memory and lower cost. However, long story short, I got the N7 and have no regret because I don't miss what I never had (what I never had being the Tab 2). I'm sure I'll work something out to overcome the lack of expandable memory.

Also, you're gonna get a lot of biased answers here because you're asking the question in the N7 forum.
I think they are both brilliant devices for the money. I had the original galaxy tab when it first came out and loved it. I really do think Samsung make some top quality hardware. I have a nexus 7 now and I do love stock android, I also went for the 32gb model for £199 so that will more than accommodate my storage needs.
I have a galaxy s3 for my Samsung fix so that's why I ended up choosing the nexus 7.
I'd stick with what you have for now mate and get your moneys worth. Something new is bound to emerge after Christmas and then you will probably puck a nexus 7 up for peanuts.

Let's say this... I had the OG Tab 7,and it never got updated past Froyo. Samsung abandoned it.
The Nexus 7 is sure to get multiple updates straight from Google as soon as they come out.
If you keep the tab 2 7.0, you are probably going to have to root it and put aokp 5 on it. Stock is a little slow. And someone stated that the tab 2 7.0 had TV out, I don't believe that it does. I have had it since launch day.

Well the tab 2.0 has jellybean now so no abandonment there

I am a big Samsung Galaxy fan! Having said that I wanted to have one Nexus Device to have the stock Android and quick updates. The Nexus 7 is that device for me once Google came out with the 32GB! So far it is working well for me!

Hdmi dock from amazon is 13.00... We have one for my spouses tab2.7 . she uses the dock for charging next to our bed. She loves the tab because of the peel remote.. I just installed jelly bean 4.1.2 on it a few days ago.
Its a ok tablet for most things you would want such as surfing the web and simple games and social networking.
I do love my nexus 7 32 gb.. now have it dual booting with linux stock 4.2 and i have a 3rd book i can try and flash new roms without flashing my everyday use stuff..
In my opinion the tab 2.7 is better built then the nexus 7 but runs at a slower clock speed.. If there was a 7 in ch version of the note . i would be in love .. mybe some techno lust..
Love N7 so much

Hello I was wondering if this Nook (either HD or HD +) is worth the money. Especially since the special price is on. How is the battery life? Lag? Is it better than the Nexus 7 once CM 10.1 is installed? (Emmc) The lack of Corning Gorilla Glass and NFC. Is very sad.
It "supposedly has better battery life" than the Nexus 7.
I want to be able to root my tablet install a ROM, overclock it, and consume books and music w/light gaming on the side
Edit: What the? The [Q] is in the wrong place. Haha
Edit 4:07 CST -Took the plunge and bought a HD, it is a lot faster than I expected from video reviews and such. My software version is 2.0.5 what is the most recent?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I don't have a Nexus 7 but did have the Hisense pro for a couple of weeks (which is supposed to be the same) which I returned for this tablet. You can root and as of right now there are a two Roms. People complain about lag but I must have gotten lucky or I am not as picky as others I don't see it. I would buy one based on price (actually bought two) a good little tablet. There is no custom kernel yet they are working on it but that does mean you won't be overclocking yet. Gaming is pretty decent for the games I have tried. Buy one and try it the return policy at B&N (best buy and walmart too) is two weeks so if you don't like it you can return it.

Latest ver is 2.1.0, but I guess you know that by now.
Earlier I bought a Droid 3 so that I could play persona 3 on it, Surprise surprise, the 3d is broken, P3 runs beautifully on my kindle fire which has identical specs. This is VERY disappointing as that was the only reason I got the phone. also persona 3 only played well once I rooted my kindle and installed 4.2.2, I have the cm10.1 rom for the droid 3, I'm aware that installing 4 on the droid 3 will ruin the camera(I don't care) I already have safestrap on the droid 3. when I installed AOKP it didn't work, just a black screen :\
I'll list all that I want to do, DraStic, N64oid, MyBoy!, snesoid, ppsspp(persona 3 and cave story) epsxe(I also wanna play Klonoa, and Metal gear solid)
It might be a build without ducati which could do it.
