Read the forums, the device is well established and there is plenty here for you to make this decision without making a terribly lazy 2-word thread.

Radio shack guy told me...

That our phone is not even comparable to even the iPhone 4.
He had a galaxy s 2 epic touch and says its not as good as that either. I asked him why didn't he buy an iPhone since he liked it so much and he said that its because of "faster wifi speeds from sprint"
Yes, those words exactly.
I showed him my nexus, and he said that screen is not as good as the retnia display. We compared pictures and it made the iPhone look washed out. But he never changed his opinion because he said apple makes the best phones ever.
I partly agree, needless to say. I'm buying the galaxy nexus with an iPad. Or a iPhone and a kindle fire. ( for face time of course, can't do it on my main rig.. I run Linux gnu)

My boss has an iPhone 4 and I have an NS... our "battle" goes like this:
Boss - My iPhone can do this and this and this and this...... it's so much better.
Me - My phone can make a call.
Boss - Yeah You win.
Some go to apple because they see it as the best. Like everything from apple is the best. Let them be and after some time they will all be bowing to Google.

I don't know or care. It does not even matter for what he stated. Poking fun at iPhone GSM users by saying how is your 4g service is just dumb.
On the subject of fanboyism... i know someone who thinks apple is soo great he was willing to buy a iPhone 3G cause he thinks its better (Mainly cause he claims lcd is far higher quality than amoled). Wouldn't even consider a 3GS or a 4 because they are too expensive.. SO yea cheapo fanboy.
To make things worse he is judging android based on a old samsung phone that was end of life when he bought it and was stuck at like eclair (was forced to root it out of box just to make it do anything half decent). He wouldn't even consider a Nexus S with Super LCD (i9023) because it was too expensive.
To simplify things.... you can't win a war with a fanboy you are just hitting your head on a brick wall.

arguing with an apple fan boy is like arguing with a lawyer or any to be lawyer. It never ends and when it gets near closing, they bring up some new moot point.
When iOS 5 came out, it was clearly a rip off Android. I dont understand how apple fan boys don't see that.

What new android phone should I get?

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.

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.
Sent from my R800x using xda app-developers app
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.

AT&T didnt spend anything. They just wanted the phone to be cheaper so they could follow their marketing strategy
.
We were supposed to have a 2300mAH battery, 2GB RAM, an NFC chip and webtop os.
AT&T already has IPhones, SGS3, and HTC One X still costing $150-$200
They had the price reduced on the Atrix HD to get more new customers.
Also they cut back the hardware so it wouldnt take away from their Samsung & Apple Sales since those two companies seemed to be favored by AT&T.
That would have made a better product for consumers. Who cares if it makes their original phone choice harder. At&t sucks a big one period.
Sent from my MB886 using xda app-developers app
The bigger battery would be nice. Nfc for me isnt a big deal and 2 gb ram might help i never tested it when i had the s3 this phone is like the perfect fit for me i liked bigger screens but were unnecessary the battery so far isnt great but i just got it so it might take a bit to get going. I have the battery extender on.
Sent from my MB886 using xda premium
Well bigger battery could be nice as well as better charge time.... i dont know how may amp the charger is but it feels like it takes for ever to charge my phone and standby time is not as good as i expected!!! Apart from that i love this phone!!!

Vivid dev is struggling right now due to some massive infighting, I wouldn't go there,
OneX is not an upgrade to me with non-removable battery and no SD slot.
Heard pros and cons on the S3, guy at work has one and it didn't feel as bad on the "cheap plastic" feel I heard described previously, I would try it for myself if I was about to switch.
S3... development is the fastest i've ever seen for any device, but you'll have to deal with overcrowded forums, and a little hostility here and there... yea its a plastic phone, but feels solid, has nice weight to it, and feels even better with a case on it...

I for one had a love/hate relationship with my Thrill. Loved it at first....hated waiting for the updates....but over all the phone has been GREAT! I rooted, but kept the stock ROM. Just froze some bloatware. Recently updated to ICS...LOVE IT! I would like to root again to get Tethering and to re-freeze apps, but so the solutions I am finding are too convoluted for me. I want something as simple as it was to root with GB using Megatron Exploit.
My contract is up in a month. I am definitely considering the Optimus G. Not a fan of the S3 form factor. Feels like a toy and don't like the rounded edges.
I love my Thrill but LG and ATT seriously upset me when it comes to updating. And the tools necessary to to modify this phone are ridiculous. Not so bad now that I have tinkered with things, but it look a long time to figure it all out. This phone would be junk if it were not for the few brilliant developers we have that took the time to work around LG's crap. I will probably never buy an LG phone again. I want something with over the air updates and I want to purchase it from a company that actually concentrates on the phones that are already out. Don't even get me started on things like cases and invisishields which you can't even find anymore at places like Best Buy, etc.

Never never never!!!!
I will never ever get another lg phone. The device itself is not bad, the issue is the service from lg themselves. Its nonexistent worst support ever. Im def going to another company when my 2 years is up.
I don't think I would probably go with a samsung s3 or s4 maybe a nexus. I would like to have an sd card though so the nexus probably wont happen. I dont even know what phones lg have out so I do like this phone though plus for a 100 buck and no data plan can't really beat it.
I've never seen such a laggy device. It's bizarre.

They really had no say so in what happened with ICS.
Part of it was AT&T's wrong doing by cutting the contract with LG for a while. They had to renew it before any decision to release another firmware/software was developed.
