I need advice please....Thanks

My birthday is coming up in October and I will be getting a new cell phone as a present. My question to you all is which phone has the best performance for my money? I have researched some sites and came across Smartbench 2011 and Quadrant benchmarks. I also realize that some of the scores are from overclocking the phones. I don't know which one is more accurate to base performance off of or what but my top choices of phones are as follows: Please advise me, thanks. If you can,,, could you narrow it down to your top 4???? :help:

T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide
HTC Sensation 4G
Samsung Galaxy S 4G
T-Mobile myTouch 4G
T-Mobile G2x With Google
Samsung Exhibit 4G
MOTOROLA CLIQ 2
HTC HD7 for T-Mobile

 

Thanks Steve B,,

I will definitely take your comments into strong consideration. I look at the specs on a site called GSMarena and some of the phones you mention scored good on the performance rating according to them, but if you have seen or heard from personal experience from friends then I have to strongly consider your opinion.
According to that site, the regular myTouch 4G got good performance and battery life. The Samsung Exhibit 4G runs a Android OS, v2.3 (Gingerbread) with 9hrs talk time.
Well listening to your advice narrows it down to 3 choices. The Samsung Galaxy S 4G, T-Mobile G2x With Google and T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide. If you could take a look at that site since I don't think I can post a link according to the thread rules. Could you tell me what you think about the specs on that site for the T-Mobile G2x With Google and T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide . OH and thank you for your advice,, really appreciate it.

T-Mobile G2x has Internal 8 GB storage, 512 MB RAM OS Android OS, v2.2 (Froyo), upgradable to v2.3
CPU Dual-core 1GHz ARM Cortex-A9 proccessor, ULP GeForce GPU, Tegra 2 AP20H chipset
And the T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide has Internal 4 GB storage, 768 MB RAM, 4 GB ROM OS Android OS, v2.3 (Gingerbread)
CPU 1.2 GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor

 

Thank you once again,,,

I too am leaning towards the T-Mobile G2x/ LG Optimus 2X. I found some more benchmark sites and reviews. I seen that some people were complaining about issues with the G2X but I'm willing to give it a try. As of right now that's the phone I am looking at. I already downloaded a few custom ROM's and Kernels for it, since I came across people stating that LG and Tmobile haven't fixed everything yet. I still got time before I purchase it or I may just go ahead and get it. I am kinda afraid that LG and Tmobile are slacking on getting it fixed cause it beats out some of their other phones. Some people upgraded to Gingerbread and lost their root abilities :nono: I'm no expert but have played around with custom ROM's with the LG Optimus One P500 or LG Optimus T since I think they are the same phone IMO. Gave it to my wife, she loves it,,, hee hee :evillaugh
I will keep you posted on my decision, I just don't won't the price to go up on the GX2 so I might snatch it up early. One thing I can't understand is Tmobile are asking more for the Sensation 4G than what they want for the GX2, unless because of the issues with the GX2 it's cheaper.
