Should I wait for the Nokia WP7 phones before I buy an android6. 3G or 4G?
Seeing as this IS the Android thread and i be a smart phone n00b, I had a few questions:1. How hard is it to unlock an Android phoneA: Very easy, depending on the phone itself and your ability to read, understand and follow instructions to the letter. Stick to more popular phones to have a better chance of more community dev support.2. What is the minimum specs (core speed, ram, storage) that I SHOULD wantA: For future proofing, you'll want at least a dual core 1ghz device with 768-1gb ram, for all platforms.3. Which is the best brand HTC, Samsung, Motorola, etcA: Very subjective. Depends on who you ask. I like HTC's solid construction but i'm starting to like Samsung for their higher than average specs. I prefer HTC's Sense for Android over Samsung TouchWiz but with ICS, im going vanilla anyway so it matters not.4. What to avoid for first time buyersA: Do plenty of research on all platforms, look at videos, read user experiences to nail down your preferred OS. Once you've done that, do the same for phones themselves.5. Should I wait for the Nokia WP7 phones before I buy an androidA: OS choice is really a personal preference. It depends on what YOU looking for in your device. Between the two os's you bound to find one that suits your needs more.Once you've decided on an os, THEN you look at what hardware you'd like to pair it with.ICS has been announced, new devices are around the corner. I reall feeling a Nexus at launch. Nokia will release their WP7 phones (which are also almost ready). There are already great devices on the market but i'd hold out to see whats coming.6. 3G or 4G?A: Does it matter? We have neither down here. Even if any service rolls out within the next year, there's no telling which band it will operate on. lte? wImAX? hsdpa? Pick one. As long as the device is GSM.
So I waltz in Pricemart Mausica yesterday, Xoom 32gb selling for $tt 2500!! down from like $5k they had it for before.That's cheaper than what Amazon is currently offering it for.Go get it pple, before they are all gone!
