Hello everyone! I am currently using a Xperia X10 Mini . I had fun with it,I liked it ...but now its outdated. It started to run slowly,application require more space ,I can`t update the OS and you know the story about it. I want to buy a new phone ,android ofcourse, but I don`t really have a high budget . So Instead of a SIII or something similar, what do you guys recommend? Which is the best one I could get?
Thank you for your answers and time !! :D

Depends on 1) what you want to do with it, 2) what you want different from your Xperia X10 Mini, and 3) what you can spend, Maiels.
 
If you don't have an exact dollar value in mind....

- are you under contract and able to sign a new one for a subsidized phone? Or are you going unlocked?
- what kind of contract do you have now?
- what do you do with your phone most?
 
I mostly want to use it for apps,talking and stuff like that. I was thinking of a Xperia Arc...I really like the Xperia family. What do you think about Arc?
 
Well, since you are on a tight budget, the Arc is a pretty good device actually, comparable to the original Galaxy S in specs (except it has a better camera). I still have the Galaxy S and for most purposes other than gaming its still a nice phone.

If you can afford a Galaxy Nexus go for it.

It really does depend on your budget. The HTC One V is a pretty decent phone, and here in the states you can pick it up on Virgin mobile for less than $200, and save on the plan ($35 a month).
 
have you even tried rooting and flashing a different ROM on it? i have gotten 'incompatible' devices to run Jellybean 4.1 by doing that. other times ROMs for different purposes exist depending on a device's popularity and ease-of-hacking. my phone had a horrid stock ROM that rebooted itself every few minutes when idle, and i flashed one onto it that stopped that and gave me much faster speed and a bit more internal space.
