Which Phone?

Initialised

OK, phone upgrade time, I'm sticking with Android. The shortlist is:

Samsung Galaxy SII (good GPU)
Samsung Galaxy SIII (means waiting until April)
Samsung Galaxy Nexus (4.65" 720p Screen)
HTC Sensation XE (1.5GHz Dual Core)
HTC Sensation XL (4.7" Screen)
HTC Evo3D (3D Camera)
LG Optimus 3D (3D Camera)

I'm leaning towards the Nexus but I figure the SIII (and HTC's first few Android 4.0 phones) will overcome it's limitations.

Any good reasons to drop any of these from the list?

Good question as my HD2 is due for upgrade on March 25 so I have a similar list. 3D is of little interest, but I do like HTC kit... I have Android ICS 4.0.3 on the tablet and its fine... and Nexus high on my list too... decisions, decisions...

HTC. Samsungs feel cheap and plasticky by comparison.

The Evo is £229 at Asda right now - seems like a good price.

Yeah, I saw that but I'll probably stick with three.

I'm kind of thinking that the SIII (or the equivalent HTC) will combine the benefits of the Nexus and Sii but my Desire is sometimes cutting out so I need to upgrade sooner rather than later.

Also does anyone have a good method for porting data from one android to another?

HTC's are reported to have serious battery issues. The LG's aren't there yet. The S2 is a little long in the tooth. All of which is why I went with the Galaxy Nexus.

I love it, best phone I have ever had.

Ice Scream Sandwich is so good I see very little point in having an overlay like Android Sense or Samsung/LG's version. That said the S3 is likely to be a better phone (better camera).

I also look at reviews here: http://www.techradar.com/reviews/phones/mobile-phones

Yeah, I know about the HTC battery issues, my Desire is getting to the point where it's not lasting a whole day and sometime turning off while tracking with Endomondo on the return trip. On the plus side it has survived several crashes and being put in the washing machine.

Also been through BR's sister site (they review my PCs).

Probably going to get the Nexus. I'm only using 4GB of my 8GB card right now so (hopefully) the lack of an SD slot's not an issue.

Can the Nexus be OC'd to 1.5GHz like the Sensation Vanilla?

Android 4.0 isn't an issue as all current Sensations and Galaxy SII will get updates.

Will I miss HTC Sense?

Problem with waiting is there is nearly always some new super phone on horizon
