Well time for an upgrade and i'm looking into getting a new phone. Planning to get into the android scene because i'm sick and tired of apples bull shit, so please don't mention any apple product.

500 dollars to spend

Phone must have:
-8mp camera
-unlocked to work on any sim card
-good processor


I was looking at some HTC phones and I really considered the HTC Sensation. But there are so many good phone...

I'd also go with the Galaxy S II. My friend has one and the pictures and video it takes are amazing.

Stay away from Nokia and Apple and you should be fine ;)

Samsung phones are really good at the moment, as with HTC

It has to be unlocked and GSM? You dont want to be locked into agreements?
There are some pretty good phones out atm, and more coming to nation wide US providers.

Yep, I travel overseas frequently. There are a lot of nice phones from Verizon and T-mobile for considerably less prices but I don't want to be stuck in plans and I want to use my phone outside the U.S.

I personally love my Atrix, I believe there is an international version, but I'm not 100% sure on that. Motorola has really turned things around

Chrome messes up my forums especially with adblock...

Also, the galaxy is BEAST

Also remember that its not all about the MP of the camera. Lots of phones have hi-def recording, but the result is usually choppy and pixelated because of how much they compress the files, of course trying to keep them small.

Edit: For the person the dereped me saying "no.", learn a bit about phones.
