New android phone?

**booingthetrolls** · 03-07-2012, 04:39 PM

I have a Sprint Optimus S, and it's fast and stuff, but it just doesn't seem good enough.
A LOT is not supported.
Very little memory.
No flash support <- the reason why I'm posting this thread.

I have tried it and paid for the license but flash didn't work.
Even if it did have flash support, I still would want to buy a new device.
I am very overwhelmed with the choices, carriers, etc.
Could you please give me the name[only off of the top of your head; I wouldn't want to bother you that much] of an android phone that...
- Has full rooting capabilities. Includes busybox, superuser and flashing ROMs
- Is $150 or less
- Has no contract
- Does not charge you for using wifi even though the carrier doesn't support this. I have heard that some carriers do this and it is the most greedy thing I have ever heard.
- Has multi touch
- [Preferably] Has a dual core processor
- No required plan; has an option for a free plan with only wifi as internet.
- Does not get extremely hot
- Can have fairly nice gaming
etc
I feel very overwhelmed... The only internet I want to use on my phone would be using wifi and using a free plan from the start...
Is $150 enough for a phone with those stats?

Am I in the wrong forum?

If you want a carrier (for voice service) a data plan will be required. To get a phone with those specs, you're gonna likely drop at least $200 on a used device.

Even for an HTC Inspire on eBay you're looking at around $200, and it's not even dual core.

>An optimus s that costs ~$60
>Phones with only faster data and more memory cost ~$300
I don't understand

How much would a phone with those specs cost?

I don't want calling, bluetooth, 2g, 3g, 4g, or gps.
I would never use them...

Android doesn't really have an eqiuvalent to the iPod Touch.

Maybe you should consider a tablet. Not sure what used Xooms are going for, but that might suit your needs.
