I recently sold my 1 yr old Samsung Omnia II simply because it is still running on Windows Mobile 6.5 It seems everybody is using android phone and I want to upgrade. I've been reading lots of reviews and now I am confused.

surely getting android phone is a trend now. and I would suggest HTC Wildfire as first option samsung galaxy mini and ace is also good. Even though many suggest that LG optimus is also good, but I don't prefer the brand LG specially in cell phones.

LG Optimus One was a right choice, but the Ace it's simply better :) It costs a little more but it's faster,and you don't have to clear the dust under the screen :) Don't forget to install Whatsapp, Advanced Task Killer, Barcode Scanner, and Shazam/Soundhound too :)

I wanted to try HTC but it seems there are some not so good reviews about it. They say LG Optimus is promising but I find it expensive and I guess LG is not known to be a branch of choice for a cellphone. I bought Ace instead. Thanks for the suggestions.

Even i upgraded to Andriod from Symbian recently... And after using my first Android for more than a month now i highly recommend using an Android... The choice of the phone depends on many things and most importantly your budget... There are tons of Android smartphones available in market and the price tag most efficiently sorts them out... Here are some i recommend : 1. For low budget : Samsung Galaxy mini/pop, LG optimus 1, Sony ericcson W8 2. Mid range : HTC Wildfire S, Sony xperia X10 min pro 3. Hi range : Samsung galaxy S2, Sony Xperoa Arc, HTC Desire Hope this hepls...!!! :)

hi there! i switched to Android phone from a windows mobile and yes I find it very commendable. I bought a Samsung Galaxy Ace. Although my previous phone (Samsung Omnia II) was way expensive compared to Galaxy Ace, I'm loving my new phone.

A good choice to shift to Android.. It really rocks..!!! And yes even the Samsung Ace is a good choice...!! Have a great time with your Android... And dont forget to install a good antivirus in it (I suggest NetQin security)...!!!!!! Cheers..!!!!

Hi. Now a days, consumers are spoiled by choices when it comes to cell phones specially smart phones. Being restricted with funds will only help you in making a decision. It helps me most of the as every second thing I want to have is out of my budget. Anyways, you got to make your own choice in this as only you can tell what use you have of a phone. To know the detailed analysis of any phone use gsmarena, they have more details then anyone else.

hi thanks for your response. gsmarena is indeed very helpful. complete with specs of the phone and most importantly the reviews of the users. I ended up buying Samsung Galaxy Ace and so far am very satisfied.

Hi Bubbletush, Maybe you can try searching the web for comparison on each features. I know an android phone but I think this is a known brand. You may try the Huawei U8150 Ideos, this is a cheaper android phone also and it has a good features. It has wifi and android v2.2 and has 3.2MP camera. Or may also try Sony Ericson Xperia... Try searching also on the web. Happy choosing of phones....
