Maxx vs Rezound vs Nexus

**LLStarks** · 04-15-2012, 08:54 PM

I'd like to get a good 4G phone, but I'd like to tinker with it too.

What's the best phone for that? Could I buy a newer phone and hope that it gets custom roms in the future?

Also, should I wait for the Incredible 4G or Fighter?

The Galaxy Nexus is your best bet, regardless of what may be coming out next.

If you like to tinker the nexus is the way to go. I rooted my maxx but there is not alot out there for fully functioning ICS roms. If you want a phone that last 2 days on one charge and has good radio signal get the maxx. As far as the fighter (aka RAZR HD or RAZR maxx HD) who knows when that will be out. ICS has leaked for the maxx and you can install it but it takes some rooting experience. There is a write up on how to do it, I just never ventured in hopes it will be out in the next month or so.

Rezound for overall device.
Max for best signal.
Gnex for best to mess around with.

Signal stinks on the Gnex....rezound is a bit boring to me and the max a bit too wide

Unless you want to use your phone to talk and use data for the Internet.

Key point from the OP, tinkering and ROMs. Best bet is most definitely the Galaxy Nexus.

I just flashed the latest leaked radios and update for my nexus, and I'd put up against any other phone now as far as phone functionality. There are some awesome roms out for it too that allow limitless customization. I running kang project

Tinkering? Absolutely the Nexus.

I upgraded from a Droid X to the Galaxy Nexus.

There's something to be said about Pure Vanilla ICS that's just so inviting.

I can do anything I want with this phone. It's simply a tinkerer's dream.

Added AOKP ROM with Franco Kernel and I'm seeing somewhere in the 12-14hr usage (light usage that is).

Get one cheap if you can. It's so NOT worth the retail price. I got jacked when it was first released.
