Hi!
I've always been an Apple fan when it comes to phones, never really was interested in mobiles until I got my 3G, which I then Jailbroke, unlocked and went to town on. And fell in love with iOS.
I know a hell of a lot about iOS and iPhones, but almost nothing about Android. I love the simplicity of iOS, but also the customisation/depth I get with Jailbreaking and such. I've become very fluent in the workings/system goings on/jailbreaking of iPhones that it's become second nature to me. A little boring if I'm honest.
I currently have a White iPhone 4, Jailbroken, unlocked, and highly customised to my liking, in both aesthetic configuration and system configuration.
I've wanted to try android for a while, but never known where to really start. I want a fast phone, but nothing too fancy. I don't want a budget lame bottom end android phone (Girlfriend had a ZTE, no thanks
), but at the same time I only want to try it for a few weeks, root it, have a play, and give iOS a rest for a bit. So I don't want to spend loads.
I'll sum it up:
I want an Android phone to play with. It'll be my first one which I base my impressions on. I'd like a fast Processor (dual core?), and a decent amount of RAM, as well as the ability to run customs roms and be rooted with ease. I'd like it to be a smooth, snappy experience. Preferably a fully touch screen phone. With a nice, crisp screen. (Maybe OLED? Not sure if that's my price range.
I don't mind buying used (especially from OCN
), or overseas, although I don't really want to spend more than £180. Maybe £200 max.
I'm on Orange UK, on a contract, so unlocked/unlockable would be best, then I can just take the sim out of my phone and pop it in the 'droid.
Any suggestions?
