Brand: Motorola

HTC batteries sucks ass.

Look into an anker battery. the sensation 4g only has 1500ish mah, whereas anker has 1900. I remember reading the inspire 4g has something like 1200 only which is VERY shitty. You can get the battery for under 20 bucks off amazon.

Brand: LG
Model: G2x
Carrier: t-mobile
Pros: decently fast internet, wifi hopspot, has loud speakers for music playing abilities, decent 8mp camera with flash
Cons: It's t-mobile, so my service sucks, the phone freezes up at times, which requires pulling the battery out.

Apple
IPhone 4s
At&t
Very easy to use and looks sturdy and nice
Too boring. Jail breaking doesn't make it open source like androids. For the price you get inferior specs compared to androids at the same cost. Screen too small for the price.

I am going to purchase the Samsung galaxy nexus this weekend.

Brand: HTC
Model: EVO
Carrier: Sprint
Pros: big screen, WiMax, hot spot, 10mp camera,
Cons: battery life, quickly becoming dated
Addition Info: Qik works great on this phone

you need to get rid of that piece of shit

iphone 4
att
it text, calls, holds my music, goes on facebook, plays slacker, pretty pleased i really dont have a con due to the fact i dont use it for anything else but what i listed. apple fan boy, not really just like the phone.

Brand: HTC
Model: Incredible
Carrier: Verizon
Pros: ROOTed, fast. lots of apps. does anything i need it to. i never drop a call unless it's to someone using an iPhone on ATT (no lie. we don't know why, yet). fits perfectly in all my pockets (main reason i selected this phone over Droid X, Samsung, etc.). nice design. teathering to my laptop, for free, is the #1 reason i bought this phone.
Cons: if not for my case, the camera lens cover would be the first thing hitting the surface i set the phone on. who designed that?? i've had to replace the cover once, as the glass got scratched. it only cost me $5 and 5min of my time. but still.... other than that: no issues. i love this phone and hope it never dies. battery life. but this is true with any smart phone.

i'm told 4g is a scam. it isn't truly 4g, so i don't feel i'm missing out, though it seems the 3g network has slowed since 4g got started. perhaps to prompt us to upgrade? the size of the phone is perfect, as i always carry mine in my pocket while at home, traveling, etc. it's very unobtrusive. the screen is plenty big enough to view anything i need. if i absolutely MUST have a bigger screen, i'll jump to my lap top or TV. i don't need a phone that takes place of my PC/tablet/iPad/etc, so i feel i do not need "more phone". this phone looks great, performs even better, and has a nice interface, now that it's Rooted and i have installed OI file manager. i can pretty much do anything i want now. great phone.

4g in America is more like 3.5g

The 4G coverage for any of the carriers blows right now, its only in bigger cities, though fresno is supposedly covered. So 4G phone isnt all great internet speed wise but 4G coverage will pick up within the next 2-3 years. Some of these newer phones do a lot better because of the dual band 3G. iPhone 4s is dual band on at&t and im sure on Verizon as well. The Driod Bionic is also 4G LTE/Dual band 3G but from the looks the new 4G Razr is not? Spec's in the network part dont make sense. But it is dumb that they are trying to hype up 4G so much when it is pretty much a rip off unless your in big cities all the time.

Brand: iphone
Model: 4s
Carrier: att
Pros: text and online when i need t
Cons: its an apple product, sucks shits, typing is bs, and moarr
Addition Info: just got it cause i need a phone asap and didt know shit about em. If i learn i wouldve got something better.

4g here in Visalia has been up for almost 2years. speeds tested here on the speedtest.net have gotten me around 8mbps DL. that's more than fast enough for me, since all i do is stream netflix, browse forums, etc.

4G LTE (which is Verizon's version... that gayt&t is implementing in some areas) and sprints wimax 4G are the only two real 4G networks. At&t's original "4G" along with tmobiles current 4G is really just 3.5g datad service. But LTE networks haven't quite made it to Fresno the last time I looked into it.Modesto or visalia is as close as it gets.

whats so special about the new android ics

Think of it as computer term.

Gingerbread = Vista
Icecreamsandwich = windows 7

They've made a huge difference. The phone is actually faster than when I was using gingerbread, not to mention the fact that it looks so much nicer.

you android guys are soo hell bent on those phones.

If you're into em they're quite fun to tinker with.

I like the freedom to do as I please with my phone. And I happen to be an anti apple type of guy.
