Hey guys, pretty straight forward.
Just to let you know, I really don't want an HTC one x, or any other phone with poor battery life.
Things that matter:
Screen size: 4in+
Processor
Camera quality
HARDWARE in general
Overall feel of the phone in your hand
I would prefer the least amount of plastic on the phone as possible.
Thanks guys

Plastic is a nice thing....
Do you have a carrier preference? Are you wanting to stay with VZW?
HTC EVO 4G LTE.
Outstanding battery life.
16GB internal storage and a micro sd slot.
Blazing fast processor.
It feels solid as a rock.
It has the best screen of any phone I have ever used, 4.7 inch.
The camera on this phone is phenomenal. Here is a thread with pics from it.
All in all this is the best phone I have ever owned.
The evo 4G is very intriguing.
As far as carrier, I don't care at all.
So far the phones in the race are:
Sony xperia ion
HTC evo 4g
Samsung galaxy s3
These are just so far. Feel free to offer any handset as a suggestion. I'll put up a poll when I get into the preliminaries.

Wait for the HTC phone that's coming to Verizon
It has a 1080 p screen so everything would be awesome
It also has an adreno 320 cup

I'm jelly of ya'll that have more than one carrier with service in your area.
Does the Nexus not even get a honorable mention simply because it gets the newest Android versions before any other phones? I agree that there is better hardware on the market, but I love showing off all the new features before anyone else gets them. My buddy just posted on fb how he got ICS on his RAZR, I replied "It can't do a barrel roll." Its fun to be smug about firmware lol.
I got my hands on a SGSIII and I liked it allot, big good looking screen, felt good in my hand, fast and smooth. I rooted it and gave it back to my buddy. Plus the Galaxy S phones have good development so you wont be waiting too much longer than Nexus for custom ROMs and such..
The nexus was in the running, but the camera threw it out for me.

If you want to be certain you'll get 1st party updates without waiting them definitely Galaxy Nexus. The camera, however, isn't too good.
Personal suggestion is S2. I haven't found one con from this phone, it's fast,I like its screen,a lot of development here, camera is excellent. It also packs a 1 6GB flash memory and a micro SD slot.

I'd pick HTC over any phone. Not to keen on the Incredible 4G for Verizon though. Its nothing like what the other carriers got. I'll be sticking to my Droid Incredible 2 so long as Dev's continue to support it.

Have an Airrave at the house where we are. It's nice but going from Sprint to the Airrave and back again is annoying at times. It does work damn good however.

According to this post, it's been around for a few years.
got one a while back. it's hit or miss whether it works well depending on it's mood and depending on your location.
In addition, if you're on a call, and you leave it's range, it doesn't seamlessly switch over, it drops your call.
So mine just sits nicely in the corner, protecting a spot on my floor from dust.
This operates on all bands including are jew 800Mhz band. Also the product is not new but the number is.

Yes it is a newer model with Sprint rolling out its new enhanced 800mhz band this will also carry that band.

I'm not sure. I never heard of it, but the reviews are throwing me off. Maybe if I see more people saying good things about it, I'll try it.
Thanks for posting this! I'll keep this in mind if my reception gets bad again. I think Sprint was working on towers in my area for several months but seems to have gotten fixed in the last couple weeks.
I've had mine for close to 2 years. Happy with it.
I live in a 2 story home and it works flawlessly everywhere.

I've had mine for 4 years in four different locations and it is definitely better than the naked Sprint signal, but also quite hit or miss and dependent on your Internet service. It worked flawlessly in my loft in Denver and very well in my first two places in Albuquerque, but barely noticeable in my house in Rio Rancho. Incidentally, my Internet absolutely sucks here so I'm positive this has much to do with the current poor performance of the Airvana.
In any case, I've been using the Airave for 4 years completely free so no complaints here. If you have poor service in your home or business, you should definitely call the number in the OP and see about picking one up. If you get denied but really need one, keep calling. Eventually they will agree to set you up.

And it probably won't be for a while knowing the FCC and how long it takes to pass things through them.
I wouldn't expect this handset to be out on the US market right away, if at all, either. The snapdragon 800 chipset is definitely something to drool over but when the odds of it actually showing up in the US are slim to none I wouldn't get to upset.
Korea is home to Samsung, they're going to get the latest and greatest phones from them every time. Not to mention Korea's wireless infrastructure is growing in speed much quicker than any place here in the US aside from maybe Kansas where Google Fiber is available.
All-in-all, just be happy with the S4 you have now. If you want a pick me up, go compare specs chipset wise with the HTC One - 1.9 GHz vs. 1.7 GHz is a clear win for the S4 on the chipset forefront even if you can easily overclock it to 1.9 GHz.

I was offered a trade for a 32gb Nexus 5 for my Note 3. I was wondering if anyone is also considering this. I am stuck between the two. The only thing thats keeping me from doing the trade is that the battery is awful on the Nexus 5. Just wanted some opinions on this. Thanks
Nope. U getting some extra cash (I mean 399 vs 650) cause straight trade doesn't make sense, might as well sell the note and buy a new nexus
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda app-developers app
Yea..uh..Nexus 5 is a cheaper phone. No way
sEnt from thE noTe 3
Definitely not worth the trade... If you wanted to you can just buy one used in a month for probably less than 300 and have both phones
agree with everyone here. just read all the reviews on both everywhere if you're still unsure. note 3 is still the best phone on the market. i was in your shoes too deliberating between the two and picked the note 3; very glad i did.
I'm sold on the Nexus 5 after I persuaded my coworker to get one, but I wouldn't even consider trading my note 3 for it.
The truth is I'm having some awful luck with my note. I'm on my 2cd device and I can't seem to stay connected to a wifi network. Plus the home button on both went from perfectly pushable to a sunk in button I have to mash with my fingernail. Sammy definitely didn't hit a home run as far as build quality imho.

The Nexus 5 looks like a fine phone for the price. But my Note 3 has worked flawlessly, and I'm happy to pay more for the bigger, higher-res phone.

That's weird, I've had zero wifi issues. I'm using the 5ghz channel of my buffalo ac router. I also tested the 2.4ghz and no issues.
This thread is all kinds of wrong. First the Note 3 is worth a considerable amount more than a Nexus 5. Second, this phone beats it in some important categories including screen, battery life and features.
And last but not least, stock Android blows. Especially the latest version with those big and ugly icons. Stock Android is super boring to me and too light on features.
Just my opinion but don't do it.

Even with the bloat I think the Note 3 is far superior to any of Nexus devices. I even think the S4 is as well.

Battery life on the Nexus 5 compared to the Note 3, is night and day. The N5 can't even last a day, not even close.
And I still love the deep Plasma blacks, and vibrant colors of AMOLED screens, I've seen the N5 in store, and it looks washed out in comparison.
Plus more RAM on the Note 3.

Making a phone with that small of a battery is like putting a 3 gallon gas tank on a car...almost not usable. 3,500-4,000 mah should be the standard on phones these days. You would be very disappointed with the trade.
Note 3 -- Tapatalk version [HORRIBLE.1x]
Erica Griffin from YouTube did a mini review of the Nexus 5 and she was only about 3:30 uptime, 2:20 screen time and she was at 26% battery. It's a joke and even she was saying the same pretty much.
If you are a moderate to heavy user in any way, why would you even consider the Nexus 5?

I just returned my nexus 5 today. It's hard to use anything with a non amoled screen after you have used a phone with an amoled screen.
The nexus 5 camera was also horrible.
Sad part is, I bought the nexus 5 and gave my wife my note 3 and now she won't give it back, so it's back to the sgs4 for me
