IMO get an HTC phone, maybe even the EVO, it's only $200 with 2year

You could try a Sprint Touch Pro (you can get one for $100-$150 in either Market Place or eBay). Plus, there is work in progress for an Android port for it. I would suggest the TP2 but it goes into the $200-300 range.
look for a moment with a bad ESN and then 'fix' it..

what do you mean bed esn and 'fix it'
i found one on ebay for 150 witch is pretty resonable im still looking tho it says for parts only due to bad esn but it says it works 100 percent but cant be activated with sprint what exactly does this mean
or a perfectly fine one just outta the repair center for one sixty i only have twenty soo i guess i need to keep savin
ok i found out what esn is and it apperntly very hard to fix and sometimes cant be fixed darn ohh well i just save for one with a good esn
Check craigslist and get an Vogue/ppc6900.
Whatever you get, make sure it runs android from NAND.
I had a TP2 and mogul and ran android from SD
and it kills the battery to make it not worthwhile.
The ppc6900 I have though, runs android from nand and
it's like having a baby EVO. (i haven't had any other android phone
such as the moment or hero to compare).
I got my vogue from craigslisth for $50 with charger, manuals, data cable,
and extended battery+cover. I'm glad I did.
having a keyboard is useless if you don't have battery life.
I'm looking to get an evo with bad esn, even if it can't be repaired yet.
AHHHHHH I'm going crazy trying to resist Evo. I need a hugh

...like Hefner?
alot of people have been returning the evo mainly because of the size. plus 4G isn't all that great right now. if your going to get a 4G phone then wait till 4G is everywhere like 3G. i got the hero for 79.99 with new contract and i couldnt be happier! rooted with a custom rom and overclocked to 728... this thing is badass!

Also for 4g, I would wait for LTE devices, as for the most part WiMax 'lost' and LTE is going to have more carriers

K you kind folks.... if you had the opportunity to trade you Nexus One for HTC Desire?
would you? Or would you not do it? Please add reason.
I know they're practically the same phone but I'm caught in a dilemma here.
I'd stick with the Nexus.
With the Desire, I'd just install a non-Sense ROM anyway
Hmm..how about there's a higher chance the Nexus one will receive updates before the Desire (Gingerbread?) See how early it had froyo
Where I am from, the telco's are bundling line plans/contracts with Desires, making it affordable and common place. But there is nobody selling Nexus ones here. Now that Google has taken it off its store, this phone has just became even more rare. Love the unique feel about that
These 4 young ladies suggest you hang on to your Nexus
Nexus One + ROM with Desire theme = sexy UI, sexier phone, minus SenseUI crap.

Any suggestion on which one is the best one out right now?
And for all of you who responded... thanks. Now just to add a twist to it...
What if you had 2 Nexus Ones... would you still trade one of them? I'm really leaning towards no right now since the announcement that there aren't any more Nexus Ones.

No. Why would you?
Why do you have two?
I was in the same boat as you last week. I went with the Nexus. The support for it is amazing and I prefer vanilla over Sense (I wasn't before I bought the nexus). I already has Froyo before any other Android device....Correction, WAAAAAAY before any other Android.... The phone is amazing and I love every aspect of it. Hopefully, I will have influenced your decision

If I had two, sure, I'd probably trade just to diversify. But I wouldn't want to replace my primary at this point.
I agree with above. I wouldn't want two of the same devices.... Even though I do love my Nexus . What's the point of having two of the same device when you can have two different ones, with different designs and slightly different features.
Believe it or not the 2 that I have in my possession are Nexus # 4, and #5. I sold my 1st 3 and after the 3rd one, I couldn't last a day without the Nex. So I bought 2 and 1 as backup. (Wife using it in the meantime until she gets her iPhone 4...) I told her it's grounds for divorce for her to own an iPhone 4 =)
The diversity thing makes sense and was the main reason for a trade, but since the Google Announcement, it made it harder to let it go even if I had 1 already. That and that they are practically the same phone too.
Thanks for everyone's input... I'm not gonna do the Desire trade anymore, I'm working on trading it for a Galaxy S if anything. For Diversity sake, I just hope I don't lose my Nexus One somehow.
i'd keep the nexus because the desire has more of a plastic back battery cover and isnt quite as good build quality as the nexus. but the desire is still awesome, i'd just give the edge to nexus.

sexy nexie/desie? yep mate your a proper ******. unless your 12 that is
I'd keep the Nexus, for its triband 3G radio. I'm in Europe and I want to be able to cross the Atlantic and have working 3G and just pop a SIM card in. That's one of the reasons why I had a N900 before, I like to know I have the possibility to make it work both in the US and in Europe. The T-Mobile version, that is.
Keep both Nexi. You wont really be getting diversity in my opinion. You will be getting a few more hard buttons and an optical pad instead of a trackball, and you will lose out on the N1 support. Be strong and hold out till an new phone is released that you don't think twice about switching to. It is not a bad decision to go with the trade, does the Desire sell as easily as the N1?
Any chance that there's going to be a section for this... only ask because I know its not launched yet but I Know there's a lot of people looking forward to this phone!
Does HTC Vivid have NFC?
It does not seem like HTC Vivid has NFC.
Can anyone confirm whether or not the phone has NFC?
Thank you.

All reviews I've seen, is no word of NFC, don't think it has one.
I've been searching for an answer here. I can't find anywhere that actually says either way, which leads me to believe it doesn't, since I'm not aware of any HTC phones with NFC. Also, HTC only just joined the NFC Forum a couple weeks ago, while the Vivid/Raider/Holiday has been around for longer than that, meaning it'll probably be a few months before HTC can come out with an NFC phone.
(Just a disclaimer, this is all speculation on my part, I haven't been able to find much in the way of facts.)
Ok there is no NFC on this according to the guy at ATT. I havent found any sign of NFC either. I picked up mine about 2 hours ago. We need a section for this. I WANT ROOT lol.

Right, so I had the HTC One X, and it developed a camera fault, where the camera did not work at all!
Phone my carrier, and they said they would send me a new one. Called me back, said they didn't have any in stock, so they offered the HTC One silver instead. Bare in mind I only had the HTC One X since last September (2012).
I made a quick search while I was on the phone, and thought this looks cool.
So I haven't really done my research on it as of yet. So thought, what better way than ask you guys for your thoughts on the phone?
Is it worth swapping these phones? What are the advantages? And the most important question, how is the battery life compared?

Hello all! My name is Terence, and I've been dealing with Android devices and rooting for years now, so the first things I always look at when I'm searching for new devices are the Dev community, and the AOSP scene. Right the the device I have is the LG G2, and while its an amazing device, flashing ROMs (or hell, just owning the device in general) is a lot like playing Russian Roulette with the display. What I mean by that is, there is a known problem with this phone where permanent black lines would appear on the right side of the device, with no real explanation so far. At first, people thought it was because of flashing certain ROMs, or the phone overheating. Then people started vetted screen damage being just on stock. And I am one of those people with screen damage. So I started thinking, I can either get this fixed for $130, or search for a new device. I've found a good condition HTC One M7 for $150. My question(s) to you is, should I do it? Is it worth it just to buy this particular device? Are there any crazy issues such as my screen damage that pops up? I know the One isn't quite as good as the LG G2 on paper, but I'm not really a power user like that. I just love me some AOSP ROMs, and there's work being done on Lollipop, which is also a huge plus. Thanks for your time and answers!

hardware issue so it could happen on both stock rom or custom roms. If you have this issue, htc will replace the camera under warranty.

Very interesting. Whatever the case may be, I'm sure its better than the screen going completely AWOL on random just because it feels like it one day -_- I think I'm going to go for it, though. Yes, it has lower specs than my G2, but there's something oddly attractive about the One that's drawing me to it. And it has a good development scene, and you guys all seem civilized, compared to the G2 forums.... -______-

The camera issue is only there when taking picture in low light conditions. It still take good picture in normal lighting condition. Personally, I don't really care because I always use my dslr cam. Still a great phone, I would still buy it today.
Yeah, I'm not really big on the camera. For what its worth, the pictures I've taken so far on the G2 have been ****. Probably because I'm on AOSP and AOSP cameras are usually always **** compared to stock. My Optimus G takes much better pictures.
I've been doing some reading, and it seems like the Sprint version of the M7 is a little shafted on development compared to the rest of the variants No GPE ROM I can convert to, I see, which is something I was really excited for

Yeah I would steer clear of Sprint and Verizon variants if your looking for plenty of choice from a development point of view.
You'll definitely want an International, Dev Edition or GPE HTC One any M7_ul basically.
But yeah I would totally recommend the M7. I love mine. The purple camera can be a problem. I had mine repaired under warranty because it did get quite bad. I was only without my phone for 5 working days and it's been fine since and the repair quality was amazing, I honestly couldn't tell the phone had been opened up. And I scrutinized it before sending it in.
Apart from that it's been a fantastic device, easily the best I've ever owned. It looks great and is very comfortable to use. Always snappy and responsive and dose everything I ask of it.
I was a little bummed when the M8 came out because I still had 12 months left on my contract with the M7. But my friend has an M8 and to be honest I don't feel like I'm missing out on a whole lot. Apart from the obvious hardware improvements it doesn't really feel a whole lot better than my M7

Well it could be worse, at least it's not Verizon They don't even allow bootloader unlocking with HTC dev.
But you should be sure to flash only Sprint compatible software roms and recoveries for other Variants will soft brick it. The Sprint has a different partition layout. But you should find everything you need here.
