Endless Paradigm

first off...

I'm thinking of upgrading my phone sometime this year but recently my phone company that i am subscribed (with a plan) to has sent me a suggestion pamphlet. there was 7 types of phones on it but I'm only remotely interested in the non-blackberry types.

anyways are these phones any good?

HTC Raider
Motorola Razr
Samsung Galaxy S II LTE

my 2nd part of this thread involves a series of shouts i made in the last month.

for those of you who don't read the shoutbox... my ps3 died. YELLOW LIGHT OF DEATH! i have already got a replacement one. although my save data is gone unless i can get it off my old one

now i could end up sending it to sony and paying $200... but that's a little too steep for my tastes.

although i have considered preforming a Reflow to temp fix it in order to get my old data. although i don't think i could manage it myself... it won't stop me from trying.

i have everything i need in order to do a reflow.

thermal paste (or compound)
heatgun (industrial)
and Flux

wish me luck on that.

SGSII

If fixing it yourself doesn't work get a used one on eBay.

Out of those three, Samsung Galaxy S II LTE.

it won't work for what i need it for if i get a used one... since if you put a HDD into a Ps3 that it isn't paired for it will delete the data on it

although does that phone run android or just something random?

It runs android probably Ice Cream Sandwich?

You can root it and add ICS or any custom ROM you want. I prefer MIUI since it's deliciously delicious. :3

On my xperia ray ics 4 sukcs!
My battery die faster before 2.3xx

well as long as the default OS is good. i won't mind.

also hopefully it will have better signal range in this room of mine.

Double post for no reason. Apparently the s3 will be release soon and I can use my upgrade credit towards it

S3 is already released.
S2 comes with Android 2.3, S3 comes with 4.0.  You can install 4.0 on the S2 though.

HTC Raider seems decent.  Unsure which RAZR that refers to (MAXX?)

my phone provider is only getting it then, aka start selling it then.

I'm liking the S3 though
