If you were buying today, its a no brainer...HTC One.


That being said, the Nexus 5 is right around the corner and every new Nexus is worth a look.

I have been looking and have pretty much decided that when my iPad 2 craps out I will buy the nexus 7. The battery on my iPad 2 is only lasting about 2 days with somewhat decent usage compared to being a week or two when I first got it.

I saw they dropped the prices. Crazy good deals now. I have the older version, the Nexus 3 I guess you could say. Its been really solid for what I want

Nexus always gets you great hardware, pure android, and unlockable bootloader. That's all I want in a device.

So I was slowly saving up for an IPF kit just in case I got the "big mod" bug again. And I really did think I would probably get a kit at one point in the future.... until today. Today I walked into the local chevy dealership just because I had some time to kill and they had more than a few c6s for 23,000. For the 7k I'm going to spend on an IPF kit, I'd rather just put that as a down payment on a c6.

Gotta admit that was a pain in the ass with my HTC. I ended up running a software from my laptop that did it for me kind of like jail breaking.

But I agree with you on the HTC one. After a year with my HTC I said I was never getting another one but after playing with a one that completely changed. For me the ability to customize is important but I also like a nice build quality and the galaxy line is just all plastic.

Used or new? Either way that is a great price for a C6

The one is completely unlockable for all carriers except Verizon through HTC dev site. I respect any manufacturer that helps users use their phones how they see fit

The only other phone I'd consider is the Xperia , also fully unlockable.

Didn't know that HTC actually aided in the unlocking process. I give them big credit for that one. The main reason I rooted and unlocked my old android phone was because gingerbread just sucked and HTC sense was just driving me insane. After I got rid of it my Inspire because a decent phone except for those random times my rom would just competely freeze up on me and I had to reflash while out on the street.

I had a rom that was based off of Ice cream sandwich and was made by a XDA forum member named Lord Clockan. It was stable for the most part and really I only lost my video camera which I only used 2 times in a year so I wasn't upset. Before I got my 5 I was thinking of loading a Jelly bean rom but I basically would just have a glorified paper weight because phone calls was the only feature working at that time.

Battery! Yea iphones have a decent battery... but if you talk about Android in general how about the Note? Or the Razor Maxx? I love my Nexus 4 battery life but I want to try the S4 so I sell the Nexus and got the S4, this phone is amazing! Battery hold 8 hours on EXTREME heavy use!!! Thank God I have unlimited 4G! And to finished size 4"!!! Please! Apple need to step up! They start good but now they running behind. ..

I'm running carbon right now. That wasn't a theme. But if you want a sweet theme try simplex.

Used. But it only had 30,000 miles which is almost brand new in my book. It was just a base c6 but hey it's an LS3 in a car that weighs very little. A buddy just got one and in stock form he ran a 12.9 at the track with stock tires spinning half way down the track.... now that's something I'd be willing to invest into.

I honestly wasn't going to. I was basically just putting money away into a mod fund which I would decide later on what to do with. Plan was to finish off all cosmetics, suspension, and audio with it. FI was always at the back of my mind with nitrous being my first choice but I did like the idea of having a boosted car. My buddy introduced me to boosted cars with his turbo'd car and I have always loved the sound of boost since then. I was going to make the decision sometime in the future but now that I see that a c6 is attainable, I'm not so sure my previous plan is such a good one anymore.

I know I'm ranting here and you guys can tell me I'm wrong if you think but the main reason I don't want to invest into this car is the fact that there is no way for us to "go bigger" if we choose. The fact that the LLT is so limited really discouraged me. If it wasn't for that single factor, I'd have already boosted the car a long time ago. But I guess the fact that it's limited has made me not want to go that far with it
