[QUOTE=Flash_Fire;40583726]HTC One best phone
unless you NEED an SD card and usable battery, then the S4 is better
but I'd get the one anyway

Also I forgot about the infared thingiemaboober[/QUOTE]
I really like the HTC One, but I really don't think I'm cool enough for the beats logo plus it's got a rounded back.

Why am I really picky with my phones? It's not like they're costing me an arm or a leg or anything!

At least you got forward facing speakers...
Honestly Im suprised we didnt do that years ago, but then again nobody wants to hear somebody phone playing music at max volume and going distorted anyway

Well they are the leaders in the Android world right now
You could also go for: Oppo Find 5
Nexus 4
Xperia Z (But the screen ruins it for me)
Padfone 2
But I don't have any experience with those phones or companies, It's not like anybody else can chip in and add something or anything :v:
Considering the quality of most phone speakers, I'm happy enough the promote better headphone sound instead of speakers
Audiobooks are pretty neat over phone speakers though, nice when you walk around doing things in a pretty small area
I wish that companies stopped putting shitty tinny speakers in £400+ phones
The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic had the best speakers in any phone, but I'm yet to hear the One
My Note 2 isnt that bad in quality either, but for me being hearing impaired it pointless anyway.

The Note II had great speakers compared to the S3, why they were different, who knows

Finding an Asus Transformer Infinity is fucking difficult in the UK but I managed to find a used one which should be delivered this week!

Less space to move parts around in a S3

Not really a benefit for me. I'll probably just be listening to music on the bus to Uni through my earbuds when school starts up again. I'd rather NOT be a dumpass and have it blasting somewhere where people feel like wanting to gouge my eyes out with a rusty spoon.

My productivity effectively went to -50000% thanks to this.
Front-facing speakers, aluminium body and good low-light camera performance is what sold me on the HTC One.
[editline]9th May 2013[/editline]
Primarily the aluminium body though.
[QUOTE=alealienn;40583975]Quick question: razr HD or SIII?[/QUOTE]
Neither if you can help it. If you can't, there's more software support (from Devs and the OEM) with the S3. Touchwiz is terrible compared to Blur, but you can flash higher quality ROMs on the S3.

They're great! I love mine. You getting the dock?
I'm looking at the S4 right now. I like everything about it except for the plastic body. Why is buying a product so full of compromises? Ex. I don't want a plastic body so if I get something that isn't I have to sacrifice an SD card slot and a removable battery. I would be sold if there was a phone that had everything nice about a 2013 phone with a nice body and a good slot to stick a card into :quagmire:

Well, the Xperia Z and ZL have a microSD slot but no removable battery. Although, there is a phone coming out, the [URL="http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_a_to_debut_on_ntt_docomo_on_may_15-news-6006.php"]Xperia A[/URL], that will have a removable battery.
(The Xperia Z is also dust- and water-resistant. It's probably the perfect phone if you don't mind getting an external battery pack.)

It seems like that's the case. I really don't feel like spending a shit load of dosh for a phone that's not "supported" in Canada (ZL is though. Might get that one...). I know someone here in one of these Android threads has gotten one. How's the call quality? With all that water-resisting does the speaker suffer at all?
I'm still impressed by the physics in Carmageddon. The handling of the cars is realistic and I like the damage system. So many games get basic handling wrong; if you go back and play Midtown Madness from around the same timeframe (1999), it feels like your car is just magically rotating around a central axis. In Carmageddon, even with digital touchscreen controls for steering, it's pretty easy to steer properly by braking into the turn and accelerating out of it.
I was looking at this review between the Xperia Z and the HTC One.
[url]http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_one_vs_xperia_z-review-917.php[/url]
It seems like they're pretty much on par in terms of specifications (that matter to me), but the S4 excels both of them (by a small margin). The HTC One seems like it'd be the best for me, but I like the water-proofing of the Z, but I don't want the "eh" battery life of the Z while I want the SD Card slot.
Why must shopping for phones be so difficult?
I feel like the cars are skidding a bit too much, like they're on ice all the time. But it's still awesome to play this game after so many years.
One of the first games I played as a kid that I remember.
[I]Oh my god I killed people in a videogame as a kid, how did I not shoot up a mall yet?[/I]
Let me rephrase I can hear pretty well with a hearing aid and if you were talking to me you would have no idea, but god damn going to the movies is a bitch, fuckers need some captions before I rip them a new ass when i cant hear tony stark and his witty lines behind a big ass explosion.

It just adds a .nomedia extension. All the pics are saved in a folder.
Android users, especially rooted ones, who buy this "automatically deletes" shit are absolutely ridiculous.

[editline]9th May 2013[/editline]
seriously, though, I almost gave myself a concussion with the facepalm tht happened when they said it just uses the .nomedia method.
To be honest I thought something was odd with Snapchat, then again I've only ever sent stupid pictures of me pulling faces, or videos of typing rude words into google :v:
Really? where exactly is that folder? I only had it to see how it worked
lol I always knew there was something wrong with it. Like, you can't just "delete file after 10 seconds derp". If you could, it would probably be illegal. I just didn't know what they did to hide the file. I guess I shoulda thought of nomedia.
I wanna see my snapchats, how do I access them?
