What is CHEAP for you? The Amaze isn't exactly what I'd call cheap...

199$ is cheap for me...

Some Sony Ericsson I guess, because Nokia - overpriced, HTC - expensive, Samsung - Expensive, Motorola and LG - will look

i said phone not dinozaur...

You can get the Amaze for 200$ without a contract???

[Q] Should i get the Sensation, And for how much?

I have 500$ budget for a new phone and i had my eyes on the Sensation for some time now, I see it online for the range of 430$-420$ + 30$ for shipping to Cairo
So its close to the max of my budget considering i will pay tax for it in here, So my question is should i get the Sensation? Does it still worth it? and will it get any future updates? and it seems to be a bit slow on the CPU/GPU side is that true? and IF i should get it what is the right price and from where? If there's a good place selling the International version in Canada for good price i can get my family to get it for me from there, So what do you guys think?
BTW the Gnex is off limits due to its pentile screen and 5Mp camera

You can get one cheaper then that lol shop around or buy off here few people selling them

Hey bro, glad you've decided to get a HTC sensation. One question though, why not get an XE? its newer, bettery battery, plus it comes with awesome ibeats earbuds :-D I mean, in terms of whether or not it will get sense 4, probably not officially but developers here will soon get leaks from HTC to develop sense 4 on root devices. So i would say, yeah if its in your budget, if you're not willing to pay for the HTC one X or the One S, go for the sensation. If rooted, its capability is practically unmatched And yes i say this after owning an SGSII

I wouldn't buy one new, its a year old and its successor is out, price difference isn't a lot.
As a second hand phone, it still has a years worth of warranty left...

[SUGGEST] Buying my first Android!

Hello everybody,
I will buying my first android very soon and my budget is of INR 25,000 = 451.811 USD = 358.611 EUR
The prices are to be considered for unlocked devices.
Requirements:-
I would prefer ICS on it. It won't matter wether it comes preloaded or an update would be available afterwards.
It should have a front facing camera as now it is a requirement for me.
If possible suggest dual core smartphones.
The back camera should be minimum of 5 Mega-pixel with flash.
I would also prefer such phones which have developer community support.
It is preferable to have phones of Sony, HTC or Samsung as I don't trust other companies much.
My List:-
Sony Xperia P
I have heard it is a good phone but it's battery life may be shorter & I have also heard that due to the new white pixel techonlogy of Sony battery life is not a big problem as it consumes less power.
HTC Sensation
It is great phone but it was released last year and I have heard so may issues relating to it such as Death grip, unresponsive touch screen, poor battery life, improper viewing angles.
Suggestions are welcome but please see to it that it meets my list of requirements.

Sorry mate.
Post updated. Actually I use currency converter plugin that caused the problem while posting.

If that's the Indian rupee, $448 can get you a SGS3 if only it were available in India.. there's always buying it somewhere online and having it shipped to your country as an option.
If not, there's the Galaxy Nexus that I would recommend second.
I'd never recommend an HTC, due to in part that sense is nonsense. What's the point of going to a dev community with a sense phone if the #1 motif will be REMOVING Sense? Lol. I'd avoid HTC altogether. The beats by dre sound is a joke, just overpowered bass. Get Samsung, then combine it with voodoo sound.
Don't make the mistake of getting an SGSII though.

What about the HTC One like was suggested? From everything I've read it looks amazing (great screen, great camera). Then again, idk of that falls into the price range either.

Plenty of threads there to compare...both are old phones now so doesn't matter what you buy. Wait for newer phones this holiday season, may be a new nexus or Note 2 or may be HTC Super phone or LG Snapdragon S4 quad core beast.
Now is not the time to waste and bother about One X vs SGS3 debate.

Again. When this is going to end?

The choice is yours.

Your just gonna get answers from the people who own each phone.
I could sit here and say that the One X is twenty times better, but thats becuase im a One X owner and have always liked HTC.
HTC for me just get the design right, on certain phones. Which I LOVE especially the HOX!
I have used both, and must say I still prefer the HOX but it is just personal preference, if you want a phone that looks like a pebble, get the SG3! if you want a beautiful phone get the HOX !

HTC gives us consumers a big disappoint, I like Nokia 920.

Nokia 920? did u came to the wrong thread? :d

I don't think they gave us a slap. I really enjoy the 5 inch screen of the Butterfly and I won't switch to a HTC One even if someone offered me one. The only thing worth noting is that bigger battery, it should have much better battery life compared to the Butterfly as it has a bigger battery and smaller screen. Even though the Snapdragon 600 is faster, when do you actually need that speed? Jelly Bean and the S4 Pro is already extremely snappy.
The thing that worries me is the dev team though. I am sure devs would go to the newer One but I really hope our Butterfly gets a good dev team.

Is he deving for the Butterfly X920D?

For once I am happy there is not a flood of ROMs for a phone ... less playing and more enjoying
Yes mdeejay is developing for all versions, just that updates only come when there are leaks or test ROMs coming out, otherwise what do you expect the dev to do each day to the same rom ... and hence during that time you have MODs and tweaks to play with
