| Android Phone with ICS and good battery life?
Hi guys,
Do you have any recommendations for a good android phone that has ICS and good battery life? It must be able to work with the Big 3 so GSM only phones, please.
I want something that costs no more than $250.
Is the Nexus S okay or does it have poor battery life?
Thanks!

The Nexus S definitely fits the bill. However battery life is pretty subjective.
If your screen is going to be on for hours at a time you'll probably only get through an 8 hour work day.

The Nexus S is probably your best bet unless you're willing to spend a bit more ($300+ range).
At that point, the Galaxy S2 i9100 becomes an option, but would have similar/worse battery life, potentially.

I had a Optimus LTE before. Battery life is decent but I wouldn't consider it great, pretty much all the smart phones I owned had decent to poor battery life. It does have a very nice HD display though and seems to be one of the better LG phones.

Stay away from LG phones. Lots of issues even though the specs ae good. Either Nexus S or Galaxy S2.

I consider one day with normal 60-90 minutes call and some email checking are good battery life. If battery life is the most important part, try get the Motorola Maxx

if you can get an S2 for 250 that would be best.

i would say nexus s just like the other members. i'm not sure exactly how much has changed, and how your usage is spread out, but i've had that phone run on cm9 and last me almost 30 hrs i beleive. i didn't use it heavily but it surprised me how long.

If you can get an S2 for 250, then great. Otherwise, get a Nexus S for under 200. Battery life will be better.

Running JB right now and the phone is great! Feels brand new.
I doubt you'll be able to get a Gnex for under $250.
