[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lauchon:
Love Sense

Ok, I'm an older in this smartphones and PDA, since the iPAQ 6315 that integrated a phone with the tools of a PDA. First I like to say is that I use my phone for work mostly. So windows mobile was great to me, in one place I could find how to take a look to my email, and files, sometimes even work on my files and modify them, and all of that I could did it with a clean rom, no programs to ad to my device. Then I discovered HTC devices, greatest devices ever!!! no question about it!!!I was amaze when HTC 8525 was out or the HTC Kayser... then the HTC Diamond blow my mind!!! then to get HTC Diamond II (Pure for me, I'll get to that) and finally HTC HD2. I did't need anything else, great device no programs to ad... it fulfilled my needs. But there was something that always bothered me, since I'm from Chile and my cellular company only offers HSPA/WCDMA on 850/1900 MHz band I had to wait that HTC devices come to AT&T and then buy it or just forget to 3g speeds. So when I was looking for a 3g device I fell in love with the Samsung captivate specs, didn't hesitate and just bought it and when I finally had it on my hands it was a great disappointing. Android 2.1 it was nothing that I spec, it was so hard to sync with my exchange account, the contacts just duplicate (I manage an almost 700 contact list) I needed to try almost any software that could be able to manage task, mail, calendar and contact... finally found nitrodesk that made the job almost right. I also had to bought Documents to Go, one of the best software to manage microsoft documents, but it wasn't the same. I still keept my HTC HD 2 under my pillow and I was able to make it run Android and W7. So it never really replace the Samsung captivate. So I star to give it a try to my captivate (let's no talk about GPS or battery, and the lack of froyo) and I got caught on the ROM's spinning wheel trying anything available on XDA finally I'm with the work of MikeyMike great developer BUT... there is no thing like sense. Android is full of things that you can use to customize your device, I've done it all and there are greats applications but it always have something that doesn't work just right and really we all don't have the time to try to deal with whats is wrong. HTC just does it right, so thats why sense is so great to me, to be able to see the status of my closes friends on the contact widget, to scroll troughout gallery, the weather widget is fantastic and accurate, the music, everything just feels right. BUT HTC does not have Super Amoled Screen and does not has 3g for me here in Chile, so I'll give a try to samsung again I just bought SG II and if someone is able to make run sense over this device I'll be so Happy. I've try the sense rom on my captivate and it was great, but there is no data working at this time I can't effort to lose data connection. I've been using Captivate for almost a year and is a spectacular DEVICE a crapy software tough, but with a long work I had it running almost how I want it to run.

iPhone is not a choice (I have and iPad but I'm replacing it with the HTC Flyer), W7 still a long shoot to be a fully working software (No copy paste...), can't go back to WM6.5 so I'll be on Android for a while, so I need the best device and if I can be under sense umbrella it willl be so great...

so yes, is there is sense for SGII I'm on it!!!

The thread is great to say it, but it just bother me to read people saying "so buy a phone with sense on it" is almost the basic stupid thing to say, like they have nothing to ad they just keep quiet!!!
