Which Android phone is for you?

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?

    I’m using Samsung Galaxy Spica i5700, and I’m very happy with it. :D If I have the money, of course its Nexus One.



  2. 🌱 Noobs🏆1

    If Wildfire is indeed @ 15k, that’s a good buy already. Though, I still love my Nexus One. :)



  3. 💠 Supremacy🏆1

    Motorola Milestone! I’ll gladly trade one + cash for my Galaxy Spica.



  4. 🌱 Noobs🏆1

    I have Galaxy Spica since it’s one of the most affordable androids phones currently. I also have 3 more of my colleagues owning the Spica.



  5. 🌱 Noobs🏆1

    Samsung Galaxy s for me.. :)

    Sir Abe saw you last night at tapa king? closing time…



  7. 🥉 Bronze🏆1

    i got samsung galaxy spica, it has a better camera/resolution than HTC widefire.



  8. 🌱 Noobs🏆1

    I have N1 but if I’m gonna buy today its gonna be
    Galaxy S! I think HTC phones are overpriced here.



  9. 🥉 Bronze🏆1

    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).



  10. 🥉 Rookie🏆1

    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



  14. 🌱 Noobs🏆1

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



  15. 🥉 Rookie🏆1

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



  16. 🥉 Bronze🏆1

    spica for me. much cheaper on all andriod phones available. (i think)



  18. 🥉 Bronze🏆1

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



  19. 🌱 Noobs🏆1

    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!



  20. 🥉 Bronze🏆1

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



  22. 🥉 Bronze🏆1

    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. . .



  23. 🌱 Noobs🏆1

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



  24. 🌱 Noobs🏆1

    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.



  26. 🌱 Noobs🏆1

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



  27. 🌱 Noobs🏆1

    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..



  28. 🥉 Rookie🏆1

    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.



  30. 🥉 Rookie🏆1

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



  31. 🌱 Noobs🏆1

    out of the above phones. ano yung kaya mag video call? also pa list naman price at kung san makakabili. thanks!



  32. 🥉 Rookie🏆1

    HTC Legend! Will buy one tomorrow :-))

    -Sent via YugaTech Mobile App



  33. 🌱 Noobs🏆1

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

    Now where did my fairy Godmother go to?



  35. 🌱 Noobs🏆1

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



  36. 💠 Supremacy🏆3

    @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.



  39. 🥉 Bronze🏆1

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



  40. 🌱 Noobs🏆1

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



  41. 🌱 Noobs🏆1

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



  43. 🥉 Bronze🏆1

    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.



  44. 🥉 Rookie🏆2

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



  45. 🥉 Rookie🏆1

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



  47. 🌱 Noobs🏆1

    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.



  49. 🥉 Rookie🏆1

    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
