Hi guys
Have you ever bought a phone that has disappointed you?
Mine was Samsung OmniaHD:it's a very good smartphone but its OS(Symbian 5th) was terrible and very slow..
What's yours?

Nokia Xpressmusic 5800. It was slow, buggy and every update seemed to make it worse. In the end I couldn't slide to answer calls or turn off the alarms.

Samsung N400 from back in the day. Phone from hell.

No one really sets out to buy a crappy phone but you won't really know it's a crappy phone until you start using it...lol. I think that's the case most of the time.
SE vivaz. crap os, bad screen, boring and the phone was very hard to hack until the antivirus exploit was discovered

Samsung Solstice... yuck. I mean, you could use it, but as far as non-smartphones go, it was far inferior to even standard non-touchscreen phones. You're either a smartphone with a touchscreen or you aren't.
The best non-smartphone I ever owned was the Samsung Messager II when I had Cricket service. That phone was actually REALLY good. It was the only cell phone I ever liked before getting my Galaxy S2 earlier this year.

It gave my headeaches since the unboxing. It was recalled on my country and they gave another One, which was worst. I can't look a Moto Q without the thought of destroying it.

What does everyone think? 4" may be the sweet spot between big screen size and too big. I don't know how I feel about even less physical buttons though as I already think it is the stupidest thing ever to not have dedicated send/end, but that is just me.
Not while they've skinned Android and replaced some Google integration with Yahoo integration.
No led flash? Are you f*cking kidding me?
I like the S-AMOLED and the proper multi-touch screen. However, having used the N1, I feel that it's just about as large a smartphone as I'd like to have in my pocket.
Not having to jump through as many hoops to get it customized, rooted, unlocked, etc. is also a nice thing about being on the N1.
Why would I want that when I have an N1?
Nexus 2

I've had a G1, and a N1, I'll wait until the next "Google" phone's out to upgrade, I think
If it gets rooted and with a stock rom i'm going for it. Samsung makes great hardware. The software sucks big time.

Yeah I'm with you I'll wait for the new Nexus One every phone on T-Mobile that's made by HTC and only has stock Android is the phone Google uses for the next year. Thanks to Froyo the Nexus One has been the best Android phone until at least August when the Droid X gets 2.2 and gets a speed boost. Also you know that the Galaxy S will not get to use the free tethering that people with the Nexus enjoy. So to the original question NOPE
Sent from my Nexus One
If it is rooted why couldn't you use wireless tether? Wow I did not think everyone would be so against it. Its already rooted though I thought.

If I upgrade phones from my Nexus One its going to be for these features:
- Vanilla android
- 4.3' screen
- Can use the same $50/mo even more plus T-mobile voice + data
I'm more than happy to play the waiting game with my Nexus One until this phone comes out...
If the guys at Samsung weren't so cheap to cut corners and actually included an led flash I might have considered the GalaxyS... but I can't support such obvious penny pinching cost cutting by Samsung
I love its GPU power and the Super-AMOLED, but for me to go from the N1 I need :
dualcore
>WVGA
stock android
[email protected]
I don't expect that for another 6 months or so, so I'll be keeping my Nexus One until then
The Galaxy S is also plasticky and ugly

Hi all,
I have this bad habit of trying out latest gadgets.......
i never had a single phone for more than 2 months...i easily get bored
till now i had many phones.......
iphone...HTC (diamond, HD, HD2, G1, Magic, Nexus one)..plam pre, sony ericsson (satio, Xperia x10).. Palm pre....samsung (some stupid phone) .....Motorola milestone..nokia N97..some other small phones (all in just 1 year )
now i am bored with nexus and xperia and want to try something exciting...but all exciting phones like HTC evo 4g and droidx are only available in US and also CDMA...
samsung bada is not so exciting (No apps )
please suggest something exciting phone i can get in germany......
I think you have had just about everything to date.
Try that new watch phone that LG came out with. It looks pretty cool, reminds me of James Bond
Get the GSM version of the droid x. It's the milestone xt722 or something but it has a 8 mp camera with a xenon flash and a keyboard along with a front facing camera. I would've got it before my Nexus, but it's got Motoblur and it's Motorola....
How about the Samsung galaxy s? Too bad it's very familiar with the iphone design...
motorola is the worst company i would i ever go for...they are against openeness and they can't fulfill my rom flashing addiction....
sold my milestone within 3 days of buying it brand new.....
thinking of N900 or Dell streak...wat say?
but N900 has this bad resisitive screen which i hate.....
i dont know why...i dont like samsung at all...
what do you say XDAians?
no one ...... :'(

Dell Streak is the one for you man not out in your country yet but will be soon and you wont get board with it after 2 months,
PS you must do good business Selling on Ebay LOL
Idk about a dell streak... It's not really portable. It's meant to be a tablet with phone capabilities. You can tell by the way the capacitive buttons are turned 90 degrees so when it's on a table you see them correctly . But still... a 5 inch screen on a phone is just way to big.
Stick with HTC and XDA on what ever you get!
thank you all for the replies...........
Dell streak is good but its on 1.6 ........
most of the other phones Alex530 has mentioned are not available in Germany and they are not GSM too....
@lufc ...i dont sell these on ebay as i have got many local friends who would like to buy phones from me as i am the mobile guru for them here and i still have most of the phones with me still
looking to try Bada os but it has no VOIP app yet which is the major part of my phone usage
i am still confused and dont know what to do............please...help me...

Hi guys and gals.
I don't know about everyone else but I feel phone innovation has stalled and all we get is bigger screens and faster processors :yawn:
I wanted to start a thread of sensible and fantastical things you'd want you phone to do.
I'm personally waiting for :
Multiple SD cards
Smoke screen
Tazer
TV remote control
What do you want?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Better LED notifications that actually catch my attention, for example the IIDA Light pool.
Phone with battery that last longer than my Nokia 1100, or 3310.
And yeah, the light pool is sooo cool. Me want tooo~
Yea that light pool is good but I don't think I'd like a flip phone anymore, I'd prefer a knight rider kit car style line of leds going across the top of the phone with kits voice added to navigation and finish all instruction by calling me Michael in a dry sarcastic tone.
I'd also like boot loader password to protect against people hacking my phone and a nuclear battery that would last forever, that could double up as a small yield nuke for blowing things up at will.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Unlocked and bands to support support sprint, AT&T, and verizon LTE, as well as T-mobiles 42mbs HSPA+ (and a hidden radio to support their upcoming LTE-A network), Pentaband GSM, quad and EDGE/GPRS of course with at least 2 sim slots, Dualband CDMA, 1080p 5 inch screen, quad core snapdragon S4, thinner than 9mm, metal unibody (similar to one s), battery that can last all week (like my soft modded incredible) and 128gb storage (no sd slot needed ) and of course made by HTC, running jellybean
In dire situations I want to be able to use my phone as a high powered explosive. And no, I am not allowed to talk about my job.
And no, I am not a secret service agent :shiftyeyes:

Bottle opener, built in kickstands on all phones, a built in fan to cool down the phone.
That is all i want but if you throw me some extra stuff like bigger better screen, processor i'll take it..

I KNEW IT! I knew Apple was in the Android game. Look at them, doing what they do best. Taking everything in the world, and changing 2-3 letters, and making it their 'own'. Oh Apple, you so sneakz.
Inb4 Apple sues THL for making phones that look like other phones and do things other phones already do and then adds those things so their phone can do it too.
They patented copyright and patent-infingement, only Apple can duz that.
Technology Happy Life.
That's priceless. HTC should change their name to that.
I wonder if HTC or Samsung would go after them for these.
Lol, nice find.
The 'thL' logo even resembles that HTC logo from the bootloader.

It's even funnier that you can buy them in bulk for a discounted price. LOL

They're not once you realize that:
A. The CPU is actually terrible
B. The screen is awful despite being 1080p.
C. The software is buggy (even their screenshots have errors in the notification tray!)
D. You get essentially ZERO support from them, and in broken English!
Are all the reviews there shills?
If they aren't then these may not be half bad if you're ok with probably noisy pictures, 3G, a 2000 mAH battery (that's terrible for a 5") and pretty much (at least, I would expect) no support.
As for shipping, I found this
how much total cost i spend to receive this phone to my country and do you receive payment with paypal from indonesia?
Dear verdy,
Hello.
1.It will cost $11.6 by Register Air Mail .And the total is $261.59

A few weeks ago i was getting changed after football and forgot my phone was in my jeans, so after picking them up it fell out and dropped to the concrete. Those few seconds where time stops and you dread looking at it, then reaching down in what feels like slow motion...
Turns out it landed on the corner and just a slight unnoticeable scratch on the edge. Phew.
