What type of phone to get

Need help to see what phone and NAV/BT/DVD works best together. My contract us up in Nov and plan to get a new phone and replace my head unit at the same time. I have canceled my XM because of too many trees and powerlines in the area I drive. Thinking Pandora through the phone might work better? Please feel free to make any crazy suggestions

What apps work with the head unit that makes the IPhone so great besides talking on the phone.

nice thats what I wanted to know. Some one showed me a HTC today and suggested that the Video from it could be played on the head unit and Pandora app. Any other HTC users has any knowledge

Sorry but this is a stupid way to choose a phone. EVERY smartphone can get Pandora and EVERY smartphone has Bluetooth and an aux jack.

That nexus prime looks amazing btw. I was waiting for it, until I heard it was going to be VZW only.

I say iPhone 4S but I may be biased... Typing on one now...

That being said I love it.

Pandora is great, just make sure you get a large enough data plan. Depending on how often you'll stream could depends a lot on how much you'll be paying.

Also- streaming music via Bluetooth just doesn't sound as good as through the USB. I love the idea of telling my car by voice what to play, but I love even more quality sound. So I just have a designated iPod for the car...

Good luck in whatever you decide.

With the Galaxy S2:
I can tell the phone(via the cars microphone)
to compose text
have an incoming text read aloud to me
send text
navigate to location
search google
start ANY APP on the phone, calculator, Pandora, etc.
play any song on the SD card (and out put via USB or Aux Jack)
compose a memo/note,
Check my Schedule.

ALL VIA VOICE COMMANDS
all stock android operating system, no downloaded App needed (Gingerbread)

Wife has 4S (shes one of them lost "dyed in the wool" Apple freaks), son has 4, I traded a 3GS for this S2...Never again will I have an nazi Apple, ANDROID
HANDS DOWN BETTER PHONE. NO CONTEST.
They dont call this phone the iPhone killer for nothing. In the immortal words of Chris Tucker, "You got knock'd the *&(% OUT!"
oh, and I forgot, FLASH-PLAYER. nuf said.

1 drawback noted so far. Battery life. Not sure if it is because of the faster processor, and HD display, etc. but this thing will suck a battery quick. And takes 3 hours to charge backup with stock charger. So I bought 2 extras, and built a external charger.

Also, I have had all three phones hooked to the car in the same day when making this comparison.
