Hey Android Thinkers,

I killed my N1 last night (you don't want to know; let's just say that water and phones don't mix :( ). I tried the rice method for drying it out, but no luck so far.

So now I need a new phone. What suggestions do you all have that meet the requirements below?

1) Has to be a T-Mo compatible phone.
2) Would like it to be easily rootable with at least some custom ROMs available (although the ROM part is negotiable as long as I can easily root)
3) Good battery life
4) Good internal storage (1Gb or more)
5) Support for external storage (not even sure if there is a device that doesn't, but thought I'd throw that out there)

Thanks!

I should say that the Samsung Galaxy S 4G is at the top of my list right now.

I've decided that I want a Nexus S/Galaxy S 4G mash-up -- the Nexus S lacks external storage, but I like the rest of the specs and the Galaxy S lacks a flash and has limited internal storage, but I like the rest of the specs there, too.

I guess it's always about compromising something, isn't it?

Why not wait for the Galaxy S II?

There's no indication that it will definitely be available on T-Mo (although it is highly likely). Also, I'm not sure when it's coming out, but my phone is completely dead and I need a new one ASAP; I could hold out if I knew that it was coming soon, but I don't want to wait until June (the outside date for the release that I've seen). Have you seen a more definite release date, yet?

I love the specs on that phone; it would be pretty much perfect for me, I just hate to wait ;)
