Which phone?

Judging by the 4k reviews it looks good

Is the note too big to hold do you think? I am moving more and more towards the note but no one has it in to play with. Is it the same size as the Galaxy S tablet?

5.3 inches... in my opinion it is too big... it is not a smartphone in my opinion... it is a smartphone mistured with a tablet... I think it does not fit in your pocket lol unless you have really big pockets

Got the S2. Orange wanted to charge me £150 for it. I promptly told it's cheaper for me to cancel my contract, pay the remainder and go back to them as a new customer through carphone warehouse. They matched+1'd the deal by and extra 200 mins and 250mb and gave me the phone for free. Awfully kind of them.

Nice decision! How's the Super AMOLED+ treating you?

cono1717 · 17-01-12, 08:26 PM

Very well actually

LOL! I've already *Unofficially* upgraded my phone to Android 4.0 ICS.. It's the coolest UI I've ever seen on any phone.. Kind of futuristic. Plus, it's got Face Unlock, and it works real good!

cono1717 · 18-01-12, 04:50 PM

Got a guide for that lying around?

Sufiyan · 18-01-12, 07:11 PM

Not exactly... I'll tell you something. For doing this, your phone needs to be rooted, & rooting voids your phone's warranty. If you aren't familiar with Android, use your phone as it is for now. If you know what you're doing, then PM me.

I do have to say the iphone. I had the 3GS, and I cant wait to upgrade it to 4S.

Please note that once you pick one you will probably get used to it too much. the S2 for me is not as responsive as compared to the iphone. it crashes internet explorer when trying to listen to radio1 listen again. you cant multitask with that radio 1 on to do other things, nor lock the screen so battery dies that much faster.

I know everyone will say "Fanboy" but its not. i hate apple, just not the phone. the S2 which is supposed to be this awesome thing, I just dont see it after having it for a month.

Yeah, as a stock phone, S2 sucks. But, once you get into flashing Custom ROMs, you'll feel the real power of the phone. Mine is overclocked @1.6 gHz, and if it's running 2.3, it's just butter all the way. It's damn smooth, without any problems or force closes. But, for now, I'm experimenting with 4.0, so it does have a few bugs, but other than that, it's way faster than stock.

I tried something weird yesterday. I opened ALL the games that I have in my phone (~50) and then tried switching from one to the other, and it didn't even lag once, forget about force closes. Samsung should really put in more effort in the software part of the phone..
