imi123 Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 Currently have a blackberry 9700 bold and dont like it one bit. Wanting to go back to android. so im wanting to purchase or swap for android, which android is worth the swap: a htc desire, samsung galaxy s, or possibly a xperia play. all comments welcome, thanks
CompSpud Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 I love the galaxy s But its what YOU like. Go into a shop and ask to take a look at some..
imi123 Posted October 21, 2011 Author Posted October 21, 2011 ive had a desire before and did like it, only thing is galaxy lacks the flash, also been offered the xperia neo blue
neeeeeeeeeek Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 Galaxy S2 is regarded as about the best currently out. I have the Desire and think it's great, the Galaxy is a bit big though for me. If you like the size then get the Galaxy S2, if you want something slightly smaller get what ever replaced the Desire. Might be the sensation. Or wait a couple of months, Google are releasing the Nexus which will be the most advanced phone around but I imagine it will cost a few quid.
ElasticMan Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 The Desire and Galaxy S are old phones now. Look for the HTC Sensation or the Galaxy S II.
Rich Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 I have a Galaxy S2, and it's great, even better than the Iphone IMO.. Battery life's slightly rubbish, but apparently all "smart" phones have that problem.
imi123 Posted October 21, 2011 Author Posted October 21, 2011 Lol ive got to stick to a budget (£160) or my phone in trade. the S2 is too big for my liking.

imi123 Posted October 21, 2011 Author Posted October 21, 2011 thanks, going to keep my eye out for one, need to get rid of this blackberry
neeeeeeeeeek Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 If you buy a second hand Desire then before you pay for it turn wifi off and 3g on, load Google maps and zoom in and scroll around for a while. That usually stressed mine enough for it to reboot after a few mins. Or get navigation running but that would involve moving about. if it turns off then don't buy it! They had loads of problems with them overheating, they replaced them under warranty but not sure if they would out of warranty. Since they replaced mine it's been absolutely fine and I am sure the ones made since have also been fine, it's just the older ones. If the desire is too big then they do the Wildfire S
