Hi all!
it's been a while, I trust everyone is doing well
I recently lost my laptop and I can now upgrade my contract. Which phone would you advice me to get on mtn since I don't have a laptop for the time being, my 2 year old HTC desire doesn't do it for me anymore
I'm considering the following current & future phones (though I must say, I can't wait any longer)
1. Galaxy Note (it's rather too big)
2. HTC one X (When it becomes available, anyone know where that will be?)
3. Samsung Galaxy S3 (When it finally gets announced lol)
4. Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (No voice communication sucks, will be forced to keep the desire)
thanks guys!

Wait for the HTC One X to arrive...unless the GS3 arrives sooner, lol.
If you want something future proof for the next 2years you'll need to get one of the quad-cores.

Get the Galaxy Note then, if i was in your position i'd find it hard to pass the Note, that HD Super AMOLED display is drool worthy, you could then use both it and Desire, and it will be getting Android4.0 ICS with Premium Samsung Suit soon.

Nice! Congrats Zani!
That must look uber cool in white, my GS2 is the white one and im loving the way it looks.
Its quite a machine that Note, so the size hasn't been an issue then?

Thanks Tsepz! it's a beauty & a beast. I still have to put it through its phases
Size is a bit too much, but I'm fast getting used to it. the desire feels tiny already
I'm considering rooting it, I miss ICS (from the rooted desire) I can't wait for the official ICS

Have you ran Quadrant or AnTuTu benchmarks yet? Ive heard it pulls some impressive scores.
root Root ROOT! Go wild with it, there's a lot available for it at XDA, including the leaked Official ICS ROM and custom ICS ROMs based on it.

@Tsepz quadrant gave me 3516 and AnTuTu gave me 6433. I'm very impressed with battery life, it does pretty well given the screen on this thing. It was fully charged when I left home @ 6:30, after heavy heavy use (whatsapp, hours of music, taking & transferring pics, Facebook, internet browsing, calls and over 50 text sent & received and the display @ 20%) I still have 30% left. 11 hours 30 mins on battery. I'll root this baby tomorrow, my gf is already jealous of the amount of time I spend with it lol
@ Hobbs, thanks man! I'll upload pics 2mrw, the Desire's camera ain't good on this custom ICS rom
