No idea what phone to pick, please make suggestions

[oOMavrikOo]

I am currently about to opt out of my Sprint contract and T-Mobile is on the list for it's affordability. I haven't really done much research on TMo phones and will probably be visiting a store in the next couple of days to look at my options. I will be coming from the HTC Evo 3D and my wife from the LG Optimus S. I personally want a device comparable to what I already own and my wife has expressed interest in something similar to mine with more beef under the hood. I know someone who owns the Galaxy S II for Sprint and I really like it. Is TMo's version the same?

I'm also interested in the Galaxy Nexus and the HTC One X variant being released later this year. However, I'm only able to get out of my contract through Sprint because of a change in their billing policy and it voids the contract. I've been given an extension to the end of the month to port my numbers. So I probably can't get anything released after March 29th... Unless their is a workaround.

Also, rooting and installing custom ROMs are a big deal for me so I would also like to be led to phones with the biggest developer support.

Any opinions are appreciated and I thank anyone who helps in advance.

i use the galaxy nexus and i suggest if your into rooting and roms to pick that phone the support is huge. the phone is not perfect but the days of locked bootloaders is over for me and people alike. i am in for the open bootloaders no more encrypted bootloaders i hope get your dream phone good luck.

I'm not too sure of the rooting and modding capabilities, but the Tmo SGS2 is quite a good phone. The only difference between it and the sprint's version is that it uses a Snapdragon processor clocked at 1.5GHz. I dont think it's neccessarily aster than the sprint version, but for day to day use it shouldn't really make a difference.

I have had my Galaxy S II for about a month now and love it. Boots up in no time and plays any 3D game I've tried with no lag.

I get great 4G speeds in my area with T-Mobile also. Almost as fast as my home Wifi. It is also easy to root.

Coming from Virgin Mobile and a small Optimus V screen, I'm in geek heaven.
