The handset market is slowly being saturated by Android phones. There’s at least one from every major manufacturer around — Samsung, HTC, Sony-Ericsson, LG, Motorola.

Even Acer and Lenovo has one though it’s not yet released locally. By my count, we have over a dozen handsets on Android locally:

HTC Tattoo
HTC Magic
HTC Hero
HTC Legend
HTC Desire
HTC Wildfire
Samsung Galaxy Spica i5700
Samsung Galaxy S i9000
Sony-Ericsson Xperia X10
Sony-Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini
Sony-Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pro
LG Optimus GT540
Motorola Milestone

Two more Android phones are coming from Samsung this month. RedFox is also launching their own Android phone. So which one is for you?

Spica. Hands down.

Alwin · 16 years ago

I’m enjoying my rooted HTC Magic, tho I’m drooling over the HTC Desire, but I want my next smartphone to have secondary camera for video calling. So…. I’ll stick with my HTC Magic til I find the next best thing :D

samsung galaxy spica… love it!

Ric · 16 years ago

I got the Desire 2 weeks ago. It’s very fast and slick. One of my best purchases in a long time. I’m just waiting around the corner for the Froyo update which should make the phone even better.

Ryan · 16 years ago

HTC Desire…

seaman · 16 years ago

Hi ask ko lang ano ung android what makes it difference to iphones? is E series of nokia cosidered as android? thanks

mike · 16 years ago

none of the above. Those are all SINGLE SIM stupid phones for stupid people who bites the marketing hype.

Galaxy S sana kung d lang dahil sa plastic body na walang pinagkaiba sa ibang cheap samsung phones. Kaya desire na lang ako! Loving htc sense. Coming from an x10, mas maganda talaga implementation ng sense regardless of the smoothness of the ui.

xtian1986 · 16 years ago

nexus one pa rin ako! xD

Yuan · 16 years ago

may balita na ba kung magkakaroon ng update ang Spica to Android 2.2 Froyo?

JunAlquis · 16 years ago

Desire is slightly better than Nexus one sooo I’ll pick Samsung Galaxy s.. lol

slighmd · 16 years ago

Android is slowly growing in our country. now if we could only have paid apps in the market…

sheepman · 16 years ago

@abeolandres How much po ang HTC legend?

rand0m_insanity · 16 years ago

@abeolandres Yet only a few are pretty affordable. It’s a good thing though. I hope HTC’s Wildfire be the start of more affordable ‘droids.

Justine · 16 years ago

I’ll go for the Samsung Galaxy S i9000! :D woohoo!

lurker · 16 years ago

guyrony · 16 years ago

I’d pick Galaxy S any time of the day.

Now where did my fairy Godmother go to?

Ceal · 16 years ago

Nong · 16 years ago

Kaya me napabili ng Galaxy Spica dahil sa mgandang review ni sir abe.

isko · 16 years ago

Now surfing from my galaxy spica.

chintoguy29 · 16 years ago

I just bought a Samsung Galaxy Spica i5700. Despite its mid-range price its power packed with features. I always emphasize the price of any gadget that I buy because Im not rich but I like buying gadgets. Since most Android powered phones in the market today are on the high side. Maybe if Im going to buy a second phone for my second line, I would probably get LG Optimus GT540.

MARCO RODRIGUEZ · 16 years ago

havent tried any android phone but i would prefer those from samsung.. so i go for GALAXY S.

well, Im using NOW A SAMSUNG I8910 HD..

HAVING A CUSTOMIZED SYMBIAN HX-V7 FIRMWARE(WILL BE UPGRADED TO HX-V8 THIS AUG 8 WHEN HX RELEASES IT)..

ON TOP OF IT IS SPB MOBILE SHELL VERSION 3.5.5 BUILD 349 WHICH IS AN EXCELLENT USER INTERFACE..

SUCH COMBINATION MAXIMIZES MY I8910 UTILIZATION.

SIR ABE, CAN YOU MAKE A REVIEW ABOUT THIS? JUST WONDER HOW WILL YOU EVALUATE IT..

bench · 16 years ago

I am WILD to get the HTC WILDFIRE..or else I will FIRE you up…he he he…

Richard Benedict · 16 years ago

I’ll go for Motorola Milestone XT720

Jay Castillo · 16 years ago

Hi Abe, I hope you can create a shootout/comparison of these android phones. I am looking for one with a QWERTY keyboard like the Motorola Milestone.

Galwin · 16 years ago

I’m on the hunt for a new phone and I consistent;y read good reviews on Spica, I guess it’s for me.

Ceazar · 16 years ago

I have a Samsung Galaxy S and it’s great. Everything you need and want is there. Can’t ask for more. . . at the moment he he he. . .

Ryan Ang · 16 years ago

Droid X lol

Jazon · 16 years ago

Is there an Android phone with a physical QWERTY keypad? Thanks!

Lexty · 16 years ago

I’ll choose the Desire… but Im still loving my Nexus One.. if the Samsung Galaxy Q is for real. ill change my phone to that one. Touchscreen + Qwerty keyboard! perfect combination!

zEr0-IcE · 16 years ago

Proud owner of a Samsung Galaxy S… so that gets my vote!

gio · 16 years ago

sony ericsson x10

skagen · 16 years ago

citroen · 16 years ago

I have samsung spica. but i am considering the apple iphone 4.hehe

Kinny · 16 years ago

Still don’t ‘understand’ Android phones all that well. Right now sticking to my trusty Nokia’s. E72, E63 and 6700slide.

Ed · 16 years ago

Still wating for Samsung i5500…

Ralph · 16 years ago

Galaxy S. :)

Herce · 16 years ago

4″+ screen or bust!

Rafa · 16 years ago

i have a galaxy s, its great and all, but i still think HTC has the best Android stuff, since they were the first, and have the most experience with android and google

Fleeb · 16 years ago

I have a Spica. Was thinking of getting an Optimus but it is not available yet. I wanted to have a Galaxy S caliber smart phone (4″ screen etc) but my phone usage dictates that it is still impractical for me at this point (unless I simply wanted to flaunt then I will buy it or an iP4 :D).
