[LG Optimus 2x] LarsPT:
spawndk, I'd just like to tell you that what's "better" or "best" is, in almost every things in life, very subjective.

You're saying that there's much more to a smartphone than 3d performance or games...

That might be true for you... and that is true for me... but I'm guessing you don't spend two hours a day stuck in a subway (like I used not very long ago).

I can tell you there are hundreds of people here in Paris which main purpose of their smartphone has become to play videogames. So, to those people, maybe the O2X is better than S2!! Because even if the S2 is better in every other aspect... those people care about videogames and 3d performance the most... do you get my point?

So when KoolSavas says... hey look here... the S2 is more expensive, has better specs all around, but in some games it actually has worst performance than the O2X! Now... I didn't know about that, and me personally I was surprised, even if it was a year ago! Because even a year ago, the S2 still had much better specs than the O2X (like RAM and everything you mentioned), but who cares if the S2 has double the RAM if I want to play a videogame and I get better framerates in the O2X??

Ok, now it's different (or you say it's different... but haven't presented any proof), but still, at some point in time, the O2X had better performance than the S2, and that to me is already quite an accomplishment!

You complain a lot about the bugs in O2X... no one here talked about stock O2X... what I compared was custom ROM'ed O2X versus stock S2, like I said, and did some browsing and tried some apps, and even with all the good critics that the stock S2 receives, I didn't feel like it was better than my custom O2X, actually I felt it was not as smooth as the O2X. That's all, I'm not saying O2X is better, I'm saying custom O2X vs stock S2 FELT better, and I was already surprised by that, seeing that the O2X is still 100 EUR less expensive than the S2, so for me, that's what I call a no brainer.

Of course, maybe 100 eur is not as important for you as it is for me (I already live by myself, pay my bills, and have dreams of some day owning a decent appartment here in Paris...), so I always try to get the most bang from my buck. Up until now I only had a chance to play with the iPhone, and there's no doubt about it... it's really smooth and the performance is great, but the iPhone was never an option for me. Now I got to play with the S2, finally, and I was "happy" to find out it's not the super-ultra God of smartphones like I was led to believe, so the difference of 100 eur really didn't feel like it was worth it.

Nonetheless... rest assured, if money was of no matter to me, I would most likely get an S2, as I would very fast root it and flash a nice custom ROM in it, and like many others have said, this would probably be a one sided battle, as the S2 has better specs all around, with the "same" optimized software it would probably just blow O2X away. Only thing I'm saying is that putting them side to side it didn't feel to me that the S2 really was worth the extra 100 eur (that's 33% difference coming from the O2X...).

Just to wrap up, I've never been to Denmark, but where I come from it is considered very rude to call someone else stupid. Maybe we come from two very different places culturaly.
