Howdy and Help

Spoony

Lurker
Howdy guys,

My name's Spoony, I'm 18 years old, and in two weeks I'm going off to university. Currently I don't own a phone, and have decided that before I go I'd like to buy an android phone.

The problem is, I'm so phenomenally ignorant on phones in general that I'd really like some help from this forum :)

The things I'm looking for in an android phone are
- Basic phone functions (calling, texting etc.)
- Competent music player (with a decent amount of storage and sound quality)
- Ability to play android games (I currently own World of Goo, SpaceChem and Aquaria for Android)
- I'm also currently developing a game on my computer in Adobe Flash, so the option to test this game on my Android phone would be really helpful

So my questions are, is there any other features you think I should be looking for, and can you recommend any specific models?
Apologies for not including a budget limit, but as I really don't know how much to expect I wouldn't know how to make an educated guess :P

Any help would be much appreciated, so thanks in advance :)
 
Hey Spoony! Welcome to our AndroidForums :).

I think everyone goes through a similar process when choosing their device and we have a lot of folks that share their thoughts in here:


If you already know what carrier you'll be using, it might help you narrow your choices down to the devices that they offer and get some actual hands-on time with them.

Cheers and best of luck--thanks for joining-up with us here!

:)
