Help me decide on a new phone

Post » Wed Oct 03, 2012 3:53 am

eBay is having a sale, so I might be getting a new phone a bit earlier than I thought. I've decided that I want to try out the Android OS, and my budget ceiling is around $350. The choices are:

1. HTC Sensation XL X315E White 8GB 8MP w/ Beats Audio - $ 367

Currently #2 and #4 look like the nicest, but if there isn't much of a difference between the $300+ ones and the $200+ ones I'd rather just get the cheaper ones. I'll probably be watching some videos, doing a lot of web-surfing, not that many games. Won't be using the camera much.

I have the 32 gig Nexus and love it. So, if I were you I'd pick #4.

In all honesty with those 8 gig phones you are going to run out of room fast. You've got to remember they are 8 gig but with about 1-2 gigs worth of bloat that you most likely aren't going to use.

Argh, that's true. Haven't thought about that. #2 and #3 have SD slots though, so that's good.
