Which Phone Is Better?

[PatrickD88]

I'm done with the Triumph line. My fourth replacement is due today. I'm told it is Class A which is new in box, so I'm going to sell it unopened and try a different phone.

Which under $200 phone would you choose?
I just want something with better reliability:

• LG Optimus Elite
• LG Optimus Slider
• HTC Wildfire S
• LG Optimus V

The optimus slider is prefect for a user in need of a keyboard.
The V is the best if you know how to put a custom rom and plus its cheap .
The elite is pretty good at stock and has pretty good specs for the price.
I would get the elite, due to the bigger screen, 5 mpg camera with flash, and a nice big screen.

Which one has ICS loaded?

The only ones now is the Evo V 4g and One V when it comes out. Unless you root and put a custom ROM on it.

For $200 the One V is the best . The other phones including the Elite which just came out have pretty underwhelming specs considering that it is 2012.

I went with the HTC One V. Liking it so far. Thanks folks.

Actually, the Elite and the One V seem to have very similar specs. The advantage the One V seems to have is ICS (the Elite is Gingerbread), a better (higher resolution) screen, and better camera software. I know the documentation claims that the One V has a slightly better processor but every Elite I've heard of has a 1 Ghz processor. The one advantage the Elite has is NFC and Google Wallet.

Personally, I think it comes down to which is more important, the extra $50 (or even $70 since the Elite can often be found at $129) or the high rez screen and ICS.

The screen size is what I was speaking to. And it's still not clear whether the Elite has an 800 mhz processor or not. Official specs list it as such but users say that they're devices show 1 ghz. The problem with this is that program compatibility usually goes by factory specs to decide if you're allowed to download an app or not. Also the One V has much better multimedia support.
