Galaxy S2 or The I phone 4

[killer miller]

Hi everyone was just wondering what peoples opinions were on each phone and what one is better.

Can I add the HTC Desire S to the vote. It's great.

Can I add the HTC Desire S to the vote. It's great.

I agree with HTC desire, although I have the HD version.

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

I can't offer too much guidance as I'm still using an IPhone 3gs, however I would add I'm pretty sure the IPhone 5 is going to be released soon, and is probably worth waiting for!

hasn't this thread been created 5 times now?

If you want an iPhone. Wait until the 5. If you don't, the Galaxy S II is the best alternative.

One more. Don't like the iPhone and I'm not anti-apple.

Get the iphone, but hang on a couple of weeks for the new one.

I have the Galaxy S2 - I got it 2 weeks ago, it is my first smartphone and I love it. I do have to say, though, the battery life is very poor.

I would wait for the i Phone 10 should be a lot lot lot better than the 5,6,7,8, or 9, if you can't wait until Xmas then go for the 4 or 5

iPhone is way ahead of anything in pretty much everything. They also lose no value over time.

HTC Sensation

 

[Chester Drawers]

I read a review that the HTC desire has a battery power issue and holds the charge for about a day ... is this the case?

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

Does anybody know when the IPhone 5 is due out?

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

No one knows. Early October looks likely according to the rumour sites.

In what sense? I'm pretty sure that's not true...

To the OP - it depends on two things - your budget, and how much of a techie (or not) you are.

iPhones tend to be a bit more expensive, i.e. you'll have to get an expensive contract and possibly still pay up front for the phone, while a similarly-specced Android phone will probably just set you back the contract. iOS (the iPhone operating system) is more user-friendly than Android, but you won't be able to do much in the way of customisation to the look/feel of the phone.

What apps do Android users recommend?

I haven't been using my (Samsung Galaxy SII) mobile for games, but if there are apps and/or games that people think are brill, please mention them.
I keep hearing about 'Angry Birds'

Also, good websites you might suggest for this or other phones.

Accessories - I have a lanyard and headphones, but not a case or cover for it yet. There might be some good things made available by now that aren't sold in the regular mobile stores.... anyone found anything particularly good? The market is slow catching up in the case department, loads of stuff for iPhones, but fewer for S II and harder to find leather cases big enough.

iPhone without a doubt. Don't bother with anything else. Seriously. I was anti apple for years but got an iPhone 4 and it is increadable. Had a Galaxy before but it still just felt like a phone. Got the iPhone and it feels like having your right arm back plus the most important device you will ever own.

iPhone vote here too.
