Time for a new phone

[Gazzer]

Mobile contract is up soon and looking at an upgrade.
The Blackberry I have had for the last 2 years has been great but fancy a change. A bigger screen is a must so I was looking at the Samsung Galaxy S2. Seems to get great reviews and I believe its within my budget.

Anyone using one ?

just got my galaxy a few days ago.mrs has i phone 4,almost the same in look/size.so far so good,i like it.i tend to text more than phone and i like the text drag option (just move your finger over the letters from one to another.rather than tap each one).good camera too.

I've got a galaxy y which is the smallest entry level one, got in U.K at xmas and have my U.K sim in it, bought it to see if I can use something apart from Nokia, gotta say I like it very much. When my Nokia I use in Norway dies I'll get a bigger better Galaxy.

I have a Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S, with the big HD screen. It's lovely, but I only had it as it was the most expensive phone I could get on the free upgrade.

I have the s2 Neale IMO its better than the apple 4s

I have that on my Motorola Defy, its called swype, where you just leave your finger on screen and move between letters, easier than pressing each letter.

I really really like my iphone 4S, I think it's amazing, love it to bits.

I know a lad who had the Galaxy and he used to say it wiped the floor with the Iphone, his kept knacking and then he got the Iphone4... best phone he has ever had he reckons now.. i have to agree that they are and not prone to virus's like android phones can be..

If you're on a budget then I guess you could settle for the galaxy....... But IMHO, they pale into insignificance compared to the iPhone 4s! I've played with all of these phones and witnessed several side by side tests. The ease of use and the sheer functionality that works, makes the iPhone The best smart phone and leaves all of these plastic contenders in it's wake......

Even though I'm a self confessed Mac freek, if a better, slicker and more functional phone came out, then I would buy it, no matter what the make as I love my tech. Though that will probably be the iPhone 5 in September.....(;0)

Ps.. Sorry for rambling, I'm in my second bottle of Shiraz.

In your second bottle?! I find I can't climb in through the wee hole.

Have to say iPhones are the best I've had to date. No faults or anything, so easy to use too.

 

[John Benton]

What about fragility of the iPhones. Mates who are in the trade are always having to claim cos the screen keeps breaking, when they drop them and so on. I have a Motorola Defy and it does what I need it to do. 18 mths on and not a single mark or scratch and its been kicked about a bit. Apparently it has gorilla glass?

My boy does tec for a living and he has apples but he changed from iphone to the s11 says they both have good points but staying with the s11

I have a "Speck" cover on my iPhone 4 and it just bounces everytime that I drop it :mad2:
Brilliant phone, IMO. Mrs Daz has a Samsung Galaxy (but I'm not sure which model) but I've only played with it once so can't really compare and contrast.

Then don't bloody drop it then, but not as fragile as the galaxy. iPhone's have tough screens, I have dropped mine a couple times and all fine.

But it is what you want a phone for? , if it's just to make calls and text then get a normal phone, if you want hitech with super fast wifi. Then get an iphone4 series.

Only time I've damaged my iPhone is when I've dropped it into water. In 5 years of the iPhone being out, I've never broken abscreen, though I did drop my iPad in the garage and smashed it when it was a month old....!

Yes Daz the boy had a case on his i phone he used to show clients by dropping it from head hight onto my sandstone floor all it done was bounced

 

[Gazzer]

Hasnt Dan broke his screen on his I-Phone twice now ?

Anyway I dont want an I-Phone. :smilewinkgrin:

 

[nybor62]

i phone is by far the best imo why have a samsung when you can have i phone
why have a rubi when u can have a sigma
i rest my case . im drunk by the way lol

Doesn't really matter what we think though, it's what suits you. The Samsung galaxy is obviously a great gadget, and there is a new tablet phone coming out, I'll find out the name if you like, forgotten right now, neither Apple nor Samsung, if you wanted a tablet size even. The choices of what's out there is just staggering, so just do what makes you happy. And being careful with something so sophisiticated and expensive, well, that really should go without saying,too? You wouldn't go off road racing with a Jag, would you...

Oh I dunno !

Yeh, but look at the padding! :lol:

im a bit of a phone geek. ive had htc sensation, and the samsung galaxy, and ive now got the iphone4s, which beats the rest of them hands down. as far as the 'apps' go, the htc and samsung have a very limited selction of apps compared to the iphone4s. to summarise: the iphone4s is a small version of the ipad. get one!

Neale what do you need in a phone ,ie do you want to surf the net with all the aps or just one that receives calls and lets you make calls
