Pericles Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Moto has been upping the game. Three new phones yesterday, all look damn good. That Razr Maxx HD should be awesome. And have the battery to keep being awesome for the long time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrabytetango Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 If your current phone is less than 2 years old, I suggest waiting for the next iPhone to come out. Right now all the Android handsets are tripping over themselves in a bid to 1up each other in anticipation of Apple's next release. However, Apple really needs a hero product this time around because Siri wasn't enough the last time, and I'm pretty sure in 6 days time something quite spectacular will be released. Then, everyone else will start playing catch up towards the end of the year, thus prices dropping across the board for non Apple products.

Not that I agree on the analysis, but, no issues, I'll be buying only next year. Just keeping track of the market since I want certain things from my phone.

That price range should put you in solid mid range territory. Question : How soon do you want it? That Razr M should come within your budget when it come out, should be below you budget. Also, do you wanna buy it from here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalana Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Since crosswind has mentioned that "biggest possible screen space within my budget" above sony Ericsson will not work at all ! bump a budget a bit and go for a SGS2.Can get a one around 50 i think. or wait another few months. whole lots of phones are gonna come if u have someone in the states, ask them o bring a one. what i do normally is buy 2/3 months used phone from there for lot cheaper and bring it. When i got my galaxy s like that, it cost me about 35k and it was more than 65k in SL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
