Hi Guys,
I am very confused about these phones, so please i want from the owners of those to post their short review, concentrating on performance, touch response, flexibility and of course the price, and if it possible to nominate the winner ;)
Thank you all in advance.

Why on earth do you want old phones?
Even Galaxy S2 and Sensation will be replaced in 2 months

the budget is limited for a cellphone, since it's not a priority now (for me), so i'm not looking for a super-phone, just a no-lagging and flexible android phone.

Well, I personally still am on the nexus one(no lag, and pretty good phone, though I may switch to the galaxy nexus at some point during the course of this year). My girlfriend has a nexus S, bought it for ~300$ about 3 months ago, it's got ICS(the main reason why I may ditch the N1). No lag and runs great, I'd definitely recommend it.
I personally dislike vendor-specific changes(samsung and htc) which is why I'd never consider or recommend anything from the galaxy or desire lines even if they may have (marginally) better specs

HTC's Sense is the best Android UI though Desire S is a little slow compared to Galaxy S.
I recommend a SE Arc,Arc S or Ray, it will enter your budget and they have better specs

Nexus s is a great phone, but it is too breakable like the iphone and has an easily scratcheble screen(we have no screen protectors over here), and then galaxy s is a little laggy, but you can overcome that using a custom rom which bring the best out of it. The desire s is the best looking, but the most laggy and worst battery life, it has the best camera though, and has very little phone memory 1.1gb while the others both have 16gb versions.
nexus s:355$ at amhaz
Samsung galaxy s:335$ not available
desire s: 325$
The best thing you can do is get the evo 3d dual core processor getting ics soon has 3d pictures and media 1gb ram, and for 360$ same as nexus s, though it doesn't look as good and weighs more, but you should definatly go purly for dual core.

The phone costs 355$ from my point of view i would pay 360$ for evo 3d which has 3d and dual core.
If u want evo you have to wait for monday.

Don't know about the other phones, i have Galaxy S2, still on the pricy side, Brilliant super AMOLED screen, very fast and responsive, lightwieght and very slim. Exellent Touch UWIZ interface, i basically recommend this phone.

HTC Evo 3D is only for 360$?
It was more expensive than Sensation!

I personally recommend you to buy Nexus s since your budget is limited. I, myself have bought the nexus S around 3 month ago, I'm really satisfied with it! I also updated the software OS to android 4.0.3 Ice cream sandwhich which made my experience even better. There is ton of new features such as: data usage in settings, better browsing ,ability to take screenshots ,better UI ,better camera interface (live effects on videos) ,Arabic language support etc... and about performance its satisfying its the stock ROM so nothing is running on top such as touchwiz or HTC's sense. That will provide a smooth experience to you. I have also been able to play every game on the market even hardcore game such as dead space which is advanced in graphics ,although GTA3 did not work since it require a dual-core phone. I would also like to point out main disadvantages which are: no FM radio, no file manager(available in market) and no gorilla glass display. that's all ! hope I was helpful :)
Edit:
I forgot to mention the price I got it for 320$ new from VIP phones in borj hammoud. Yesterday I noticed they got the phone in class at city mall too for your information.

Nexus s used to cost 280$, but it then got a way higher price tag, 355$ which is a large, if you are willing to pay that much why not invest it in dual core, Evo will get 4.0 soon, has gorilla glass and fm radio, and you can root it and get a nexus s room if you like it. Evo would be better investment for your money. (3d is also cool feature it does not need glasses too)

i had a galaxy s2 and sold it and got an iphone 4s,as an IOS user (had an iphone 3g for 2 years),IOS is sooooo better looking than android,more fun and stable,or should i blame touchwiz? that knock off IOS app drawer with useless widgets.
if i had 360$,and i want android,id get a stock one,get a nexus s and update,ics looks awesome and fun,sense is laggy,touchwiz is REALLY boring,so nexus s!

If what he says is true and the price range is very close between the two than yes go for the evo 3D, if of course you would like a dual core phone(1.2Ghz), bigger screen(4.3inch), the 3D they speak of, 1GB ram, and a highly customisable interface on top such as HTC sense but then i don't know or haven't tested the performance, battery etc...

Thank you all guys, i appreciate your reviews, i will go for HTC Evo 3D since it's the era of dual-core.
