Guys.. now more dilemma, HTC Desire S unlock is priced at 1799. So now: Nexus S, HTC IS or Desire S. I wan to customise if possible. But is flashing custom rom necessary?
*
That depends on you bro. Desire S maybe la. But i recommend dual-cores. brows.gif

Custom ROM part is up to you.

For me,
I flash it like i change my pants. whistling.gif whistling.gif

Cannot afford dual core la bro.. thats why looking at the high end single cores. So which do you recommend?

Desire S IMO.

Incredible S if you can live with the locked bootloader. shakehead.gif shakehead.gif

XT720 is still one of the most feature packed android phone.
HDMI, FM RADIO, XENON FLASH 8MP with HD video recording, exceptional build quality. You can't find these specs on other models at the same time for the same price. biggrin.gif

all Android phones offer similar things. Like wifi, bluetooth and so on. But it's hard to find one that has:

- 854x480 or like display, cca 3,7"
- good processing power
- FM radio and HQ sound output for earphones/speaker
- TV out (analog, HDMI or both)
- decent camera with flash
The main drawback of the XT720 is just the 256mb ram but with swap kernel that shud be no problem.. smile.gif

yeaa..you rite..enhances the crappy speaker biggrin.gif

TBH, i wouldn't even recommend that phone. doh.gif doh.gif
And yes i'm biased towards samsung, but for the average user i would recommend HTC hands down.

Samsung phones needs a lot bit of tweaking to make it fly.

Better options would be:

1. Desire S
2. Samsung Captivate ( Some selling as low as 1.3k)
3. Desire Z (if he needs the QWERTY)
4. Xperia X10 (if he needs camera)

Any particular needs?
Use email function, coming from a BB? tongue.gif

If you need qwerty, Desire Z is your best bet. (Promised gingerbread update)


If not, Incredible S, Desire S, Xperia Arc and Optimus 2x,

Desire Z like 4ILY45 said. Or you can get the Desire S(Preloaded with Gingerbread 2.3.3)
Angry Bird is not demanding so no. Games like NOVA will though. I recommend you get the SGS though. It has a promised Gingerbread update and also tons of custom roms whereas gaming can be done from light games to the most demanding ones. Your requirements are pretty simple so any of these phones are fine. Incredible S can only be temporarily rooted so you can't consider it yet. Optimus Black is not out yet. SL is not a good choice with the nerfed RAM and proc. DHD has bad battery life. Ace's processor is not Flash10.1 capable. 2x has a few issues so i wouldn't recommend it.

SGS's OTA updates are slowly rolling out now. biggrin.gif

2x has a few problems. One of the worst is the constant force close on apps, sides that theres also a yellow tint on the farthest end of the screen that cannot be fixed. Theres still one more problem i forgot. IS cannot be recommended because if i'm not mistaken, the bootloader is still not cracked.
*
IS is good if he don't flash ROMs that is.

If possible try to get the T-Mobile G2x (Optimus 2x on vanilla Android 2.2)

http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/20/t-mobile-g2x-review/

Hell a lot better than the normal LG's version.

SuperAMOLED and 16GB internal memory is worth it!
