Hi Guys,
I'm looking for a new android mobile as mine is broken.... thanks to my gf :cry:

neways i'm looking at optimus black : 4 inch screen, great camera both front and back, looks great in white any reason i shouldnt go for it ???

defy xt : like it but one review said its laggy and screen not gud

xperia u :nice mobile dual core but no mem card slot
and smaller screen

which one shoudl i go for..
inclined towards optimus black mostly for the looks

Motorola Defy XT and Optimus Black are great with very good community support for the Optimus Black (haven't seen any for the Defy XT sadly).

The Xperia U has 4 GB memory only, and almost zero community support. The screen isn't really that small.

Optimus Black no official Android 4.0 update from LG. Will be stuck on 2.3 officially.

As for development support, U will get CM10 once official ICS is released. So development will pick up in a month or so. Currently there is no point in developers doing anything as ICS update is around the corner and wasting time on GB makes no sense.

usually HS18 comes up with exciting offer on some discontinued mobiles like Optimus 2X. Wait for it.

If you don't care about community support also check Sony Xperia Sola.

avoid the defy xt completely...
and maybe this review will give u an idea abt optimus black:

LG Optimus Black - A dark sense of disappointment [Review] - Mobile Phone | ThinkDigit Reviews

best of the lot is xperia u...
go for it blindfoled if u can live with 6gb storage
else go for xperia sola if can do without front cam..
check out htc one v and xperia neo v..
or the other option is to wait for samsung galaxy ace 2

Lava Xolo X900 Review - Mobile Phone | ThinkDigit Reviews

xperia sola is also good...infact more VFM compared to XOLO

Pretty surprised no one mentioned the dual core S Advance at 22k, would have been VFM. The Arc S looks very well built though, Congrats.
Though the internal memory on GSM arena it says 1 GB (320 MB user-available) that's quite low.

the reason s advance isnt mentioned often is becuase once u buy a non-flagship fone frm samsung u may be stuck on the same os forever..
