Lol worst explaination i have seen in long time.. lol..

so simple logic is if there are numerous products delivering same function vs the best , doesn't it make more sense to c the best one being outcasted and completely overthrown? Isint this what happened with Ford? isnt this what happened with Panasonic/national?

and is it this happening with IPHONE? NO , so actually its a big slap to android users who think iphone was thrown away, well they just assumed it , at first place.

There is only ONE iphone ( concidering lauch time, one iphone vs all other android phones) , so ONE iphone Vs Countless android phone , now look at market share..

Iphone is phenominel success.. bussiness 101 , read Utility theory( utility = satisfaction= sucess= ranking ) to learn how utility of a product is defined... android cannot ever reach that . this is Straight up truth.

SO stop being a fan boy of any of products and look at raw fact. you will come to very obvious conclusion.

by the way i am android user for past 4 years.. never used a iphone.... so this is not baised

Iphone is just right for ppl who are busy ( they are the one with the money too ) , the very reason you think you like android is you can mod, right? well people who work dont have desire too , they have enough **** to handle with already , so they dont want to mod it , and android was falling behind in this ( this is why android was ONLY famous with teenagers and all others siad it ugly peice of **** .. lol), now with ICS they seem to change this ( by avoiding fragmetation) and hopefully you will see this class of people switching to Android (hopefully)

4s needs a bigger screen, its ridiculous. and its maps app hasnt been updated in 2 years.

mail app doesnt support attachments. etc

extra functionality helps busy people. limited functionality just forces busy people to rush home and use their computer to do something their phone can't

I'm an iOS Developer and switched from an iPhone 4 to a Galaxy S II because:

1. I wanted more customization

2. I wanted to port my Apps to Android

3. I wanted a bigger screen

4. I wanted something that everyone else didn't have

5. I wanted something new

The Samsung Galaxy S2 BLOWS my old iPhone 4 out of the water. In terms of hardware, and software.

Android is simply way above iOS; and the Galaxy S II's hardware is a beast. Not to mention the large, AMAZING, screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] BananaPhone69:
Well said. I've had over 10 phones in the last year alone (including a galaxy s 2), and let me tell you the peace of mind that comes from an iPhone is the single greatest selling point for it in my book.

Having phone problems and can't afford a 3 week repair with countless hoops? Good thing Apple stores will swap it on the spot. THIS IS HUGE! I'm not saying the iPhone breaks less, but when it does, it is rather painless to handle.

Worried you made a poor investment and your phone will be worthless in weeks when new hardware is out and the software isn't updated? Good thing you have an iPhone. They sell for almost the same amount as they did on release day a year later.

I certainly can appreciate the value of a modifiable phone with open source coding, but to me, simplicity, peace of mind, and reliability are much more important.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] madmaximillian:
I've been using an iphone 1 for the past 3 years just fine. it's slow and im using old 3.0 ios apps, but they work just fine.

Android users can do the same. They don't have to upgrade, and they can stick with their gingerbread apps and such once ics comes out. The phone will still work great like it does now.

Peace of mind is great, but not when your phone is made of glass and shatters when you drop it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Ferrari353:
Yeah seriously, who thought of making an all glass phone? I mean it looks pretty cool, but you drop it once and its shattered.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MuddyPaws1:
I've dropped mine plenty and haven't broke one of them. Even ran it over with my Jeep when stupid me left it sitting on the tire and I drove off. Not saying it's unbreakable but still. Besides, what kind of moron wouldn't have a protective case?

My iP4 lived in a otter box it's whole life. I just sold it on eBay....a year and a half old....for 450 bucks. We'll see if the S2 can hold that kind of value.

Are you saying that the S2 is unbreakable?

And why can't it send video properly? No one has addressed that. Stock it won't send a video over 1 meg, modded not over 1.2 meg. The iPhone sends video in excess of 5 megs without even blinking. Last night I sent a test video from my wife's iP4 and it was 8 meg. Send without any issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] BananaPhone69:
Two excellent points backing mine up!

I sold my iPhone 4 for $475! 16 months after release?? That's awesome. Good luck finding someone who will pay that for an Evo or Nexus One.

And to those saying the phone is prone to cracking, I baby my phone and never had this problem, but I had a few friends break theirs. They drove to the Apple store and walked out with a new phone in hand and all their money still in their pocket. You simply can't beat that service. When something goes wrong, Apple is close and willing to fix it. When something like that happens with your android phone, game over. End of story.

Gaming on a 4.5" 720p screen doesn't matter when your phone dies in the middle of the day. Android has terrible battery life. All of them do. I have never used an Android phone with Battery Life comparable to an iOS or Blackberry device, and those devices typically outperform them easily with SMALLER batteries.

The phones die too fast, so the rest of the hardware ceases to be a consideration or even a factor.

WP7 phones have terrible battery life as well, so Android isn't alone there.

The Android LTE and high speed HSPA+ devices (Amaze 4G, for example) have less battery life than a cheap Compaq laptop with a 17" backlit screen...

That is not acceptable. I can play better games on that laptop by the way, at 720p resolution... And it costs half as much...

---------- Post added at 09:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:17 PM ----------

We've already gone over this. That screen cap is useless.

And you certainly weren't playing games for a factorable amount of time in those 9 hours.

Basically, you barely used the phone for 9 hours and think that's great. It's not.

Your Display is low. Your Cell Standby/Phone Idle is high. You made "1 little call" and phone is 2% (showing how little usage the phone actually seen). You barely use it - not even approaching moderate. Gratz. You show why most people even here have agreed those screen caps are utterly useless.

I use my Vibrant as a secondary device and I can upload the screen cap right now if you want... 17 hours, 36 minutes, and seconds with 38% battery remaining. 80% of that was standby time. That's still not good battery life, cause once I leave WiFi and have to use the phone even moderately on a 3G connection the phone blows through the battery, like any other Android device. The newer high speed HSPA+ and LTE phones are especially disgusting when it comes to their battery life.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Meilannu:
I use my gs2 from morning to night and have not had an issue with my battery. With the 4 we had to carry around a Satechi external battery. And i use both phones the same.

We too always get a protective case (otterbox) for the phones so they are like new when you take them out. Even though right now i have a case-mate with the kickstand and like it but as soon as OB comes out with the type of case that i had on my 4 for the gs2 i will get it.

After using the 4 for over a year i do not miss it. And until they enlarge the screen i will never miss it. I still have high hopes for the I5 but was really disappointed in the 4s.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] wendellc:
So you can't charge your phone? 3.5" screen sucks ass period! My phone last 14 hours with normal use daily and I have no problem with that. If you want bring an extra battery that's why I did with the family at Disneyland this past week. We used our phones heavily for video and photos. Extra battery is not that difficult and it cost 10 bucks on eBay.

BTW, I liked the sgs2 but will wait for 720p....nexus prime. Sgs2 HD will probably be released early next year and will probably better prime in specs.

and your quoting these facts from where? you sound like the fanboy. i work, and have 5 kids (a set of newborn twins). i work over 10 hours a day, and still have time to "mod" my phone. i love flashing it and trying new things with it to improve it to my specs. I know many other such as myself that are in the same situation, and love modding their phone. i can say all blacks are lazy, all whites are racist, and all Mexicans work in landscaping. is that a true statement? no, because there is proof this isnt so. only fanboys make blanket statement and try to pass it off as a truth. you dont know everyone in the world, or their situation.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Trev186:
I have sent videos over 5 MGs on my android phone and even 125 MB files and larger if I remember correctly.

That may just be a Samsung specific limitation. If that is the case you cannot fault Android specifically.

I have owned an evo 3d and a nexus one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] wonglynn2004:
like both

apple's design and quality and less issues.

but got used to android and ios feels like a kid
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Zikor:
Sorry but where are you getting your "facts" from? and as far as i remember Android is just one company which is owned by google. The one your probably mentioning in your cute little comment are the actual manufacturers who are using android for their released smartphones.

There's no doubt that Apple is a phenomenal success. But right now compared to what google has accomplished Apple is falling behind, if you don't believe me go start searching over the net.

Your facts are based on your love for Apple.

What made me laugh was the fact that you said that iPhone is for people who are busy. Sorry mate i work for a telecommunication company (biggest telecommunication company in New Zealand) and far as I can see it more people "who are actually busy" uses android more than your cute little iOS.

I am not a hater of anything i'm just saying that your comment is based on your cute little dream.

oh and if you are just gonna come back with another cute little response, please have something to back you up. ;] Cheers!

My wife has the iPhone 4S and I have the SGII. I'd have to say build quality is better on the 4S, but the slimness of the SGII is just unbeatable. Overall, I think both are good, but I prefer the SGII bc of the huge screen.

Yeah. These generalizations are laughable. He even attached more money part to the iphone.

He's right. Android is a terrible experience out of the box. Stock Gingerbread comes with the most pathetic apps in the world, and manufacturer skins like TouchWiz and Sense have nicer apps, but they are slow and laggy.

Decent media player? Meaning one that manages album art, has a user friendly yet powerful equalizer (I hate DSP Manager), smart playlists and an easy desktop sync interface. I shouldn't be forced to buy PlayerPro. I did, but no one wants to do that. Google Music 4.0.1 for Android is a pile of **** aside from the interface.

Decent web browser? Dolphin is amazing and so is the MIUI browser, but the stock browser is terrible. Actually scratch that, even Dolphin zooms/scrolls at 5 FPS. Where the heck is my GPU acceleration Google? User interface is far more important than features. This should have been there since Android 1.5. And the rep Romain has been denying lag on Android even exists. Are you kidding me? Android is the choppiest experience available. iOS runs at 60 FPS on an old 3GS and WP7 runs the same on the old Qualcomm S1.

But derp? Gingerbread is choppy even on the Galaxy S2. That is, on it's stock ROM. But we're talking out of the box experience here. 95% of the population doesn't want to root.

Good stock apps in general? The built in GB email app sucks. And the clock app doesn't even have a timer + stopwatch. Really? My greenscreen Nokia from 2001 has a stopwatch. How about a built in PDF reader. It's terrifying if you download a PDF to read later and then you're in a place with no data conenction and it says "This file can not be opened". I don't care of Adobe's software isn't open source. I just want to be able to use the damn device without heading to the Market for the most basic things.

Built in screen capture? Wtf?

Built in WiFi proxy settings? (Almost every ROM, including Sense and Touchwiz has this but it's missing in the Nexus ROMs).

An easy to use folder creation interface (for apps)? The current one is horrendous.

--

Now if we're talking root, hell yeah Android FTW. MIUI 1.10.14 + 2 GHZ kernel + PlyerPro for music makes my Desire HD unbeatable. But out of the box, Android is trash. Period.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Meilannu:

And that's why we have extra battery and seperate charger for it. Here is a scenario. IM working a boring shift as a security guard. IM browsing **** on my phone until it dies, then simply take the extra battery and put the dead one on charge. Then go by my business. While new battery dies other one is already charged up.

With the iPhone you can't swap out batteries so ur stuck to your power outlet.

This is why android phones rule for me.

If i was some businessman in a suit then I'd buy an iphone and not give a **** that its worse in specs than android phones. I'd have more serious things to worry about.

But for now android is the best for me
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DaPath:
Whats makes me sad, is that once we really think about it, who of us could go back to stock and live happily ever after? Truth be told, if android experience was limited to stock, I wouldnt had a Galaxy Ace, a Galaxy S and two SII.

So bottom line, IMO, if you are the average joe who doesnt want to fiddle with roms, suddenly iOS and WM start to become way more appealing. But for us, tweakers, android is the way to go.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] z33dev33l:
if modded android could provide a better UX than stock WP7 then I'd jump ship. I enjoy modding my phones but at the end of the day, I want what works best.

Alot of the things u mention can be changed with out rooting. If I do not like a browser or media player I can download a new one without root.

U make it sound like one has to root to change the stock experience. When most many Apps are available that can change the look and feel of your phone without it. Like adw

I also think android is not slow or choppy without rooting. With a phone like the S2 everything's very quick
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] leogeeko:
You can see a lot of hate and misunderstandings in iPhone fanboys that are posting in these foruns (why are they here by the way? :confused:).

TouchWiz in Galaxy S2 does not lag. That's a lie. Considering an out of the box experience, I can't imagine how a phone that depends on it's PC/Mac software to be functional (iTunes) could have a better Out of the Box experience than a Phone that already works without the need to update anything using Kies.

People know that they need to install iTunes before using the iDevices. If you so, follow Samsungs instructions, you would have the same experience. And, you have OTA updates on the Phone if you need.

Siri can be replaced by SpeakToIt without problems. I just told the same questions that people made to Siri on reviews to the SpeakToIt assistant and got similar answers.

Another huge thing about S2 is that it's processor was developed aiming 1.4 Ghz speeds (even higher) stable. That means that EVERYONE in Galaxy S2 will be able to update to Ice Cream without even have to Mod their phones.

Cut the crap and all this Hype when we talk about Apple. Truth is, Apple failed in update its phone to the new REAL version, iPhone 5, and had to make a launch of 4S or would be get behind just that fast.

Coming from a craptivate, inspire, iPhone 4, there are definitely things I miss about the iPhone. A simple task such as listening to music can't even be done without skipping on Android. Drives me crazy while playing drums along to it. Better apps hands down on the iPhone. daily force closes on apps also gets annoying. Browser definitely wins hands down on android, except now YouTube videos can't be played in the browser, just show up green (thanks adobe). Colors on the iPhone 4 were particularly dull compared to any Android phone I've used. For me, android wins because of the added features and more usability. At the same time android even struggles to do simple tasks with overkill hardware. Lets hope ice cream sandwich brings a whole lot of fixes.

Just bought SGS2

I just bought the SGS2; still have the original TMO Vibrant. Rooted both, have MIUI with Glitch V12 on the Vibrant. It's quick, still looks great, good starter phone for root practice (hard to brick). The SGS2 is great visually, I only wish they had gone with a higher resolution on the screen. The SGS3 is supposed to be an actual 1080 screen. I have a lot of friends with IPhones, various types, I just don't like the limitations of the phone or OS. Just my 2 cents.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jgalan14:
Yeah I'm with you on this after owning both and the 4S for a week I like both the same and sometime the 4S a little bit more like the apps being more polished (I hope sgs 2 gets 4.0 soon tho ) and the way it handles task, I know a lot apps in the app store could be replaced by android apps but sometimes is to hard to get the right one, I been using android for 2 years now and I think is a great OS it only wastes it my times sometimes flashing lol but that's when I switch phones , the iPhone 4S is not a bad phone at all and probably will sell more then the galaxy phones because apple knows how to do the right advertisement, and with iCloud they had something the google had before but people didn't know about (3 out 11 friendster that use smart phones didn't know about this ha ha )

Even though I would never get an iphone, I can still appreciate it, just like I can appreciate Steve Jobs.

If there wasn't an iphone, there wouldn't be the s2, or the HD2 I'm using now.

iphone set the standard, and samsung is trying very hard to beat it, or at least emulate it hehe.

And because of the s2, and all the other high quality androids, the price of the iphone has come down, to where even someone lower middle class can afford one somehow. And I believe the specs are alot better on this newest iphone than they would have been if there weren't any top android phones.

So I don't see why the fanboyism is so strong, when competition drives down price, and increases quality. Aren't we all consumers on this forum? :D
