Whats your favorite phone(s) from the MWC ??

[kaerflog]

1- LG G4x.I love the square design. Specs are great. Its #1 on my list because realistically it might be Tmobile first quad-core phone.
2- Acer Cloudmobile. I like this phone for the fact that they put a 1280x720 on a 4.3" screen vs all the other manufacturers who are using 4.5" and higher.

I know everyone put the HTC X on top of their list but I hate their design.
It has great specs but the phone looks like every other phone that HTC have produced in the last couple of years.

NEC and Panasonic has some great looking phones but we will never see them here in the states.

i like that NEC dual screen setup. and on top of that, its waterproof!!!
is that a GSM phone? would be nice if i can import it here

Panasonic's eluga power gets my vote, 5" 720p screen in a "small" 136 x 70 x 9.6 mm body, compared to the 4.65" galaxy nexus 135.5 x 67.9 x 8.9 mm body.
Pity that this and the lg g4x wont work on att's bands.

HTC X and Acer Cloudmobile.

I was underwhelmed with MWC. None of the phones or tablets impressed me.

We want to see Galaxy S3 and iPhone5. Everything else is filler.

Why wouldn't the G4X work on ATT bands ??
I'm pretty sure the international GSM version of the G4x will have ATT 3G band.
The original inetrnational Optimus 2X had ATT 1900mhz 3G band.
Of course LG also released the Tmobile version G2X.

Same. Other than Asus's new TF300 and TF700 tablets, and the Huawei tablet, there wasn't much else of note. And even then, since Asus and Huawei didn't have pricing or availability, it was a let down.

For me, all the HTC One phones just looked 'Meh'. Don't care that much. But, positively, they'll likely have open boot loaders. So there could be an awesome dev community for them.

After the Razr Maxx I don't think a new Android phone with less than 3k mah is acceptable.

Here's a good summary of all the phones launched.

The one that I was most intrigued by - primarily because I work for Intel - is the Xolo X900. Stock Android is a plus, a good camera (MP-wise anyway), nice screen res and it looks pretty good. And the quoted battery life numbers seem too good to be true.

If it works on AT&T in the US and it's quad-band or better for international use and they get it running on ICS before it ships, and the battery life numbers are correct, then I'll figure out a way to get one.

Its missing the 850mhz band.

 

[pm]

Really? They are skipping 850MHz? That's used in lots and lots of countries.

According to Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UMTS_frequency_bands

Americas (AT&T, Bell Mobility, Telcel, Telus, Rogers), Oceania (Telstra, Vodafone_Hutchison_Australia, Telecom NZ), Dominican Republic (Claro), Hong Kong (SmarTone[8]), Israel (Cellcom, Pelephone), Thailand (TrueMove[9]), Brazil (Claro, Vivo), Philippines(Smart Communications[10])

I wouldn't have thought that skipping the US, Canada, Australia and Brazil would be a great idea from a potential market standpoint.

Cool. Thanks, Poofy. That's one thing checked off. If it runs ICS, and the battery life is close to what's advertised, I'm in. I'll get a buddy in India to ship it or I'll get it on Ebay.

If you do please let us know!!!!!!

I was under the impression that that Intel phone ships with Android 2.3 Gingerbread and not ICS, no?

I'm not sure either, but it's my understanding based on something that I remember reading that it was demo'd with 2.3 but will ship with ICS. If it's GB then I'll punt and will wait. There's a bunch of minor nice things in ICS that I would want.

It's not a 41MP sensor that takes 41 MP photos, but 3, 5, and 8MP ones.

I meant the panny eluge and lg g4x are missing that band.

 

[Mirox]

if the cameras are as good or better than iPhone then the HTC ONE X and S, at least as far as looks go, not really fond of the idea of no removable battery. The Nokia with the 41 megapixel camera left me with a gimmicky feeling

I agree with you, Mirox. I don't like the lack of a removeable battery on the HTC ONEs, and I thought the Nokia Pureview looked gimmicky and it didn't appeal to me aesthetically. Not that I buy phones only on looks, but looks definitely play a part.

It's all about the Asus padfone for me. Assuming the US carriers actually get it and don't mess it up that is.
