so phones....

[lolzed]

Well,I don't use phones,nor will I in the meanwhile,but my parents are buying...

My Dad's gonna get an iPhone 4 from the U.S.,and wondering,how will I be sure if it's jailbreak-able?

Now for my Mom...we're not sure what she's gonna get(touchscreen btw),and Samsung Galaxy S seems to be a competitor,but I'm wondering,in your opinion,what's the best(aside from iPhone if that's your answer)that's pretty good,smexy,and for everyday use+business?
Android is preferred,but other kind of OS(palm,Blackberry,etc) is fine if it's good...
and long-term support too,unlike the Nexus One,boy Google is lazy -_-'

The Desire HD is pretty good (with android, just the HTC HD2, but then with android)..
Also, lot's of women like to have a physical keyboard, if that's the case with your mother, look up the HTC Desire Z.

 

[lolzed]

Well,she's fine with the physical keyboard...but the mentality is there,and wanting to update from her old Nokia phone(with S60)

You know,those sliding keyboards are cool too,but I think she wants the best phone(no iphone like the first post)

The upcoming Nokia N8 is worth a look.

HD video, widescreen display, SymbianOSv5, Full touchscreen, All manner of connectivity options, HSPA (up and down), May be pricey but at it will work correctly, unlike the iPhone, and it will always have stuff available for it, thanks to the SymbianOS' massive developer community.

 

[Wabsta]

Well, I'd say http://www.htc.com/nl/product/desirehd/overview.html is a pretty good choice right now.. And yea, android > symbian imo.

 

[lolzed]

I'm liking the Desire HD

I'd like to see more suggestions though,so post up your phones if you like them guys!

 

[epicCreations.or]

The Palm Pre/Pixi is epic, although I have the Pre. webOS is just plain epic.

 

[Veho]

I second the Desire Z.

I heard the Experia X10 from Sony was good. I've watched several of the commercials too(not that they have to do with anything), and found them amusing

It comes with Android, too, Though I would prefer an iPhone 4(just because, so I can jailbreak it and try out apps before buying

)

 

[ProtoKun7]

Well, a lot of Android apps are free, plus you can install non-Market .apks too.

it comes with android 1.6

2.1 should be released for it by the end of this year

the phone is a good all rounder, my brother has it

i dnt understand this fascination with cell phone, its nice to have something cool on the go, but meh ill stick to my msging and calling and any old phone can do that pretty well.

iPhone4

I am not sure, but if your mom is buying a phone in USA, maybe get the sprint EVO 4G?

Buy it unlocked :/

Could that work?

It's a good phone, but since his mom wants "the best" phone, which I assume, should be a high end phone, it's a better choice to choose one of the newer HTC models.

 

[Veho]

The X10 is a high-end phone.

 

[Wabsta]

The X10 is a high-end phone.

lolzed the X10 is quite a smexy phone in general, check it out here www.gsmarena.com

and all the other phones we've mentioned

it's really all the same to me; but if anything i HIGHLY recommend getting some android phone.

Android > iPhone

You can "root" Android phones which is like a jailbreak.
