Hi all, I am in search of a new phone right now (preferably a smartphone). I currently have an LG Neon, and it blows. Here are some of the phones I'm looking at (my budget is around $500-600 tops and I'm interested in unlocked and/or jailbroken phones):
Bottomline: Well, iPhone 4 is out the window, so I'm left to decide between the iPhone 3GS and the Nexus One. Personally, I prefer the iPhone 3GS because I would love to sell my current iPod as a result (less gadgets in pocket = good). Also, its applications library is promising and has a much higher capacity. Also, in case if anyone was curious, I'm not really interested in Blackberries, mainly because I'm not very familiar with them and that I haven't heard much about it that would persuade me to choose it over an iPhone or a Nexus One. If there are better suggestions than the ones listed here, please post!
EDIT: I am also willing to wait for future phones that I'd be interested in.
- iPhone 3GS: Now that the iPhone 4 is coming, prices for 3GS is going down. Not only that, but they have access to the iOS4 upgrade.
- iPhone 4: This thing needs its antenna fixed but damn, it looks sexy. However, not only do I have to wait for this thing to be fixed, but I reckon that it will be very expensive unlocked.
- Nexus One: Probably the cheapest of the bunch, and its hardware specs doesn't look bad either, either equivalent to or superior to the iPhone 3GS. However, I'm not too familiar with its OS, and I'm worrying that it may not be regularly updated.
