Hello, I'd like to start off by saying that I currently have an HTC Hero running Cyanogen Mod. I love it to death, but the hardware is on it's last leg after a solid 3 year run, and because I'm running Android 2.3.3, I feel as if I'm missing out on quite a bit.
I want something much beefier, and with the new Ice Cream Sandwich OS coming out, I figured now would be a good time to pick up a new phone.
I'm currently limited to Sprint phones only, and I'm not sure what to pick. I'm a huge fan of custom ROMS/hacks, (I'd die without superuser access...) and want a phone that has a decent modding scene.
Ice Cream Sandwich compatibility is a major must for me, as some of the features introduced in ICS are my main reason for switching, plus my phone is getting quite ancient.
The brand does not matter to me, as I have a lot of faith in all the current big names in Mobile Handset manufacturing.
4G is a must, as I use the internet on my phone voraciously. Battery life isn't a terribly huge concern, seeing as how I charge my phone religiously every night, and have about an hour and a half drive to and from work, all places I can charge if need be.
Tethering/Mobile hotspot would be a major plus, but not required.
LED Notifications are very important to me aswell, because I rely heavily on them, I can get by without, but I would really rather that capability.
Media capabilities/compatibility aren't important to me, because I really don't plan on watching movies/TV on the phone.
