Aoa fellow PG members :D

Recently i've been offered an android phone of my choice from a relative abroad but the problems is im not too well versed in some of the features and problems that might occur. I've spent some time online and narrowed it down to these ones:

HTC Droid incredible (my main choice now)
Motorola Droid X (store person told me has some CDMA issue?)
HTC Desire (really nice but too pricy imho)
Samsung Galaxy S (not really sure about this one)
HTC Aria (which is a last resort)

I cant really understand the main feature differences (other then size and screen quality) but i believe all of these will get the new 2.2 foryo update. So im not sure what to do nor am i sure what the CDMA and GSM issue is. I was hoping someone well-versed in this stuff could help me out please :D
p.s. no iphone please i truly despise apple and their horrid CS

Good choice going for an android phone. Ok first you need to know that the droid incredible and the droid x are on the verizon network which is cdma only so they wont work in pakistan. You're left with the Desire, Galaxy and Aria. Aria is a no-go very under-featured mid range phone. The Desire and Galaxy S are two of the best android phones available right now, Desire has a better UI and the Galaxy well a little better feature set. The Galaxy is alot more expensive than the Desire, a like new Desire is around forty thousand in the market right now. If it was me i'd go for a Desire.

hmmm well thanks for the info guys appreciate it :D

well its sucks i really really liked the incredible and droid x now im not sure what to get the desire is in the $500 price range so im not a big fan of getting that. The issue is i wanted a phone that will get the 2.2 foryo and sadly even though the G1 i could get is free its not getting it. Are there any other phones similar to the incredible?

edit: so there is no possible way to make the incredible work in Pakistan?

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.

    So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.
