has to be andriod. those marketing people really need to get to work. i can name the iphone but not even one andriod alternative. lets see them.
also, should i be expected to pay less than the iphone? the iphone is the top dog, so there is no reason to be paying more money for an andriod phone right?

Galaxy S3 16GB can probably be had for like $530-$580 depending now.
Galaxy Nexus Is probably like $300-$400, Not to sure but that's the price range.
Both of these Android phones are good IMO. An Android phone Is only as good as the ROM that you flash on It to be honest. If don't customize the Android phone to It's full potential then It's somewhat kind of a waste.
You'll be paying a bit less or a bit more depending on which phone you want listed above. But do note that iPhone's have higher re-sell value over time compared to any Android phone on the market.
There are other alternatives but those two that I listed are the two top ones on my list.Last edited by Jimboski; Jul 29th, 2012 at 07:48 PM.

If the OP has LTE I don't think he'd want an International version because they don't support LTE like the North American versions right? Originally Posted by djemzine

Galaxy nexus is better since they get earlier software updates.

Ya, but you see, you had to root your phone and install a custom firmware in order to get JB. Its not the real stock JB too Originally Posted by Jimboski

So hazza lol.
Well not only that, you can also send files via NFC. Plus if you have NFC tags, that's even a nicer thing to do. Such as tapping on the tag to turn on certain features or launch certain apps. Useful when for driving. I.e. tap the tag and it enables bluetooth, and loads Google Maps Originally Posted by Jimboski

$375 for an iPhone 3GS is too much imo. I wouldn't even pay more than $200 for it. Considering its really old now. Originally Posted by lazzop
