I ask again... I've got 25k.

Which phone should I get? Mozart or Nexus One? I want great resale value because I'll be selling after a couple of months once the new iPod comes out.

And where can I find a nice soft pouch for the Galaxy S?

 

[SEvolution]

Nexus One my friend.
Without a single doubt in mind go for the AMOLED version.

P.S you might sell your SGS after getting used to it

^^^ I just opened vimeo.com on my Desire and ran 3-4 videos.. all running smoothly and within the browser just like it runs in PC... and I am shouting since yesterday that Skyfire has started to work in Pakistan but noone replies :-S

skyfire has been working flawlessly for ages!!!! where have you been all this time? i've been using it for over a year on my old iphone 2g as well as for over 3 months on my i9000.

AMOLED expensive. I already have a SAMOLED phone. Is the SLCD not good?

 

[hasooboy]

and some videos wasnt playing on Vimeo

You know it doesn't matter whether you get AMOLED version or SLCD version. You are gonna dislike both of them
AMOLED isn't gonna be as good as S-AMOLED of your Galaxy S and SLCD isn't gonna be as good as Retina display of your iPod touch. You are gonna remain disappointed in either case.

And you can't expect any smartphone to hold its value. So just save your money.

 

[ASKnASK]

But! I can't wait 2 months for the next iPod!

 

[SEvolution]

Completely agree with Nomad but still N1 is one of those phones u never want to sell imo. That is why i suggested amoled version. Even if you go for SLCD then find something arnd 20k

I heard apple wont be releasing ipod this time

 

[Beelzebub]

need suggestions regarding Lag fixes for my SGS have installed Darky v10.1
the set is kinda laggy with ADW launcher and randomly closes apps even some times closes phone app while I am dialing a number-_-

 

[ASKnASK]

No iPod?

Nexus One for 20k? I'm gonna be getting pinpack and it will become my primary phone.

I'm confused about the construction of Nexus One. Is it unibody aluminum? Is it all plastic?

 

[GrunT]

^the main enclosure is aluminium unibody, the rest is plastic.

 

[Beelzebub]

guys is the 32gb variant of SGS II available in Pakistan and if yes then what is the price of a new one
and when is samsung launching sgs 2 officially ?
and will the launch the 32gb version ?

 

[ASKnASK]

^ I'm so in love with the white Desire Its too expensive.

I love the HTC ChaCha too

 

[xomi]

I'm gonna buy another android fone tomorrow n need help deciding in what to go for b/w Nexus S n Desire S. I need good screen, video calling (gtalk, skype, etc), flash support n of course root access.

All of the above has inclined me towards Nexus S but the the HTC one has it's plus with more RAM n expandable memory, sense, better construction n the fact that Nexus S looks so much like previously used Galaxy S!

So what should I go for?? :juggle:

 

[R3Z0N]

Nexus S if you're a power user.

nexus 1 is entirely plastic

Nooo. Metal hai with plastic. The display is framed with metal.

The construction is aluminum unibody. All of it. The aluminum forms a single piece around the phone. The two panels that aren't part of the unibody enclosure are the battery cover (which is coated with teflon) and the antenna cover at the bottom (again, teflon).

Here are some pictures with the Nexus S. My apologies for the shitty compression.

I beg to differ.
The SLCD offering has better viewing angles than the iPod Touch Retina Display. AMOLED and SAMOLED look the same, except for the glass that's present on AMOLED screens as an additional layer, hindering sunlight legibility.
The iPod has much warmer colours than the SLCD, which is already very warm looking in comparison to SAMOLED and AMOLED. He's going to be fine with AMOLED with nary a problem and can settle for SLCD as it isn't that bad.
Here are some pictures.

I still maintain that the Nexus One is an expensive looking gadget that feels better in the hand than the Nexus S, however bland and drab the colour scheme is in comparison. It isn't as gaudy and reflective and looks more mature, and better after you've laid your fingers on it and it still manages to retain the cleanliness instead of attracting oily prints. The Nexus S looks like a pancake to me, but has a better colour scheme. I don't even mind the colour on the Nexus One, but to each his own.

The Desire S is a pain in the ass to root. If you were used to custom ROMs and mods on the Galaxy S then purchase a Nexus S. You'll miss the 720p recording but the build quality overall is significantly better. And since you're looking for a good screen and it's unlikely you'd like a smaller screen with less vibrant colours, the Nexus S SAMOLED is a better option - being similar to the Galaxy S unit.
