Which Android phone to get?

Hi folks, looking for advice on which Android phone to get for my wife - she has a Desire at the mo and loves it except too small memory. However I want to keep her with decent high end phones so am considering:

- HTC Sensation
- Samsung Galaxy S2
- Motorola Atrix
- LG Optimus 3D

I'm very tech litterate but the specs seem very similar on those phones, so I guess its down to usability... so any opinions on them would be appreciated.

Cheers

I would say HTC sensation (they give you free memory card as well) or Samsung G.... I am waiting for the Samsung note.

I'd second the suggestion to go for a Sensation. If your wife is used to HTC and in particular Sense, she'll love Sense 3.

Atrix is terribly buggy, so I wouldn't go for that one. I have the S2 and it's the best phone I've ever had, rooted with a custom kernel/ROM and it's blazing fast. The only thing that would concern me about the Sensation is the lack of internal storage. The Optimus 3D is an excellent all-rounder, bit chunky though.

I too would say to concentrate on the Samsung or the HTC

I love my HTC Desire but have a slight problem with the memory, If someone got me a new HTC with extra room I would be extremely happy Or If I have to fork out for my own, I would definately just be upgrading

My experience of LG phones involve lag after lag, but can't comment on Motorola Android, although they don't seem to be as big a player !? Could of course be wrong, Im not that techie

I bought a Galaxy S2, and it is a briliant phone. Screen is fantastic. Call quality is decent. Recent version of Android, with further updates promised.

Go to an O2 shop and they will probably have both powered up for you to play with. Personal prefernce really but before I got my Arc I was drawn to the fantastic screen on the S2.

If its for your wife, the HTC Rhyme looks like a very good choice. This phone is aimed at women.
