kalibar posted:You'd recommend these two, but not the Nexus S? The Evo 3D's a better choice for power users who will take the time to replace the stock ROM, but the Nexus S is the triple threat of being (a) reasonably-sized, (b) supported directly by Google, and (c) every bit as responsive (if not moreso) than today's dual-core offerings. The Sprint version's got WiMax, so he'd be covered there, too. I missed the "on contract" part of his post originally. The Nexus isn't a bad phone, and if it's reasonably priced used, it would be a good upgrade from the Optimus. No way I put the Nexus up against the 3D or Photon on a new contract. Slower, only 512MB RAM, smaller screen, lower resolution, no SD card. The 3D is easily faster than the Nexus S, and even though Sense 3 is large in disk usage, it runs very very fast. I don't have much hands-on time with the Photon, so I can't give a good account of its performance, but there have been good reviews of it in the Sprint thread. The 3D also has guaranteed root/unlock going forward, so it's a good choice for power users and should keep good aftermarket support as well. The gimped HTC bluetooth stack is about the only minor gripe I have of the 3D right now. Others may have something else that bugs them, but that's the only thing I would change right now.

ExcessBLarg! posted:It's true that the most recent crop of Android devices have inferior DACs compared to the (original) Galaxy S, Nexus S, and iPhones. But it's might be worth taking some headphones into a store and asking if you can stream and listen to some music samples to see if you can really tell the difference or care. It's definitely good to test this out, there are a lot of people using the free headphones that come with iPods/phones/MP3 players and are completely satisfied. If you use bluetooth audio instead of wired headphones, this is also a non-issue.

kalibar posted:SSH seems to be one of the precious few use cases where a phone with a keyboard actually offers an advantage. By and large, most people who think they "need" a hardware keyboard end up discovering after using the device for awhile that today's software keyboards are more than adequate. There are decent alternatives for that, not as good as hardware keyboard but not bad options. The Hacker's Keyboard is one option.

kalibar posted:The software and support pedigree on the Galaxy Nexus make it a runaway superior choice over the One X. The One X has a bit nicer screen, a little better camera, and HTC's trademark catastrophe-in-a-pocket software stack smeared all over Android. Don't forget the gimped HTC Bluetooth drivers that can't pair with anything but headsets and other phones. Not a deal breaker, just another reason Sense is not worth it.
