I'll have to wait till march for galaxy nexus to get officially launched.. but til that time better handsets from all companies would be out.. This is a never ending game, u wait and better technology comes and the bestest set becomes obsolete.. I'll be changing the set anyways after 18-20 months so why wait.. I'm looking for best options available now. If I get hands-on experience wih nexus and if I like it then I won't mind extending my budget..

The best phone right now is S2. But you don't like it. So,its out of context.

Then comes HTC and i guess 1Gb user space is not enough on such a high end phone. Wonder why HTC did this to Sensation.

Now coming to MOTO RAZR, would you like to buy a phone which is getting an upgrade soon ? I would never.

So, wiser option is to wait till March/April and then take a call.

If you have moola, you can switch phones every 6 months

ya, even I think why HTC did that to sensation! I had hard time managing applications on N1.. I still haven't installed many applications although I have them purchased during holiday season coz of low internal memory

@rdst_1

Will the phone be new? or refurbished? My N1 also came without warranty, so I can think about that.. btw, ygpm..

Reliance is selling it for 33400/-

After reading/watching some reviews I was thoroughly impressed by Note's performance.. also I'm getting tempted towards Galaxy Nexus, but its high price (~40k on ebay) and slightly slower performance than S2 and note, also abscence of SD slot are hindering my decision.. but it will be the first to get next iteration of android (jellybean i suppose), so i'm not able to fix my mind..

Note will be getting ICS pretty soon (can some one confirm the exact date? ) and it has larger display plus a wacom like stylus... but its not suitable for single handed operation...

Wow, 33.4k is quite steep ... I'm also confused between Note and GNexus, probably will go for Note when it drops to ~28k coz barring size it scores well above Gnexus ...

Size will play a significant role even in my decision.. I wonder whether I'll be able to ride my bike keeping Note in my jeans pocket!?

HTC Sensation, HTC EVO 3D, HTC Desire HD, Motorola Droid are good phones. If you are okay with Samsung - Galaxy S II or Galaxy Note can be your choice. Motorola droid is a great phone with awesom build quality.

I am a user of Motorola Razr (P.S. Guys Droid Razr is the 4g version so please stop calling the name here in India.)..

Previously i had Samsung Galaxy S

..

I would list out why Razr is superior to Samsung Galaxy S2.

1. The most important aspect - the radios in Razr is far far better than S2. U wil get signal anywhere

2. The earpiece speaker is way loud n crisp n clear..Unlike Samsung phones in which the earpiece is way soft

3. Build Quality is exceptional

4. Motoblur > Samsung customized skin..no lagg

5. Loudspeaker is better

6. I would not boast about Smart Actions because already enough has been said about it, but Motocast is way too good.(Google it to know more)

Why S2 is better?

1. Better screen display. Although the resolution is lesser than Razr but the display is better.

2. Battery life a bit better although Razr will last you a day as well

3. Better customer support in India

4. Developer support. Motorola has a locked bootloader but with ICS upgrade that problem will be eliminated

As far as Galaxy Nexus goes

1. Better screen but no SD card slot

2. Build Quality is as good as S2

3. Razr will get an update soon..

Check around the reviews is phonedog.com where they have compared the phones as well as in XDA forums..The only thing why Nexus has more supporters is because it has ICS..

Make your own decision.

between Note is too big (atleast it was for me)
