What's the best to get? iOS or Android?

HTC, iPhone or Samsung?

esm · 12 October 2011, 08:54 AM

iSO and iPhone hands down IMO.

masterserg · 12 October 2011, 09:02 AM

iPhone / OS 5 no doubt!

This will be a fun thread!

Smartphones are not for not-so-smart people

Get a dumbphone..... it's much better

STEELINOX · 12 October 2011, 09:19 AM

iPhone !

dalip · 12 October 2011, 10:02 AM

Anders ....I just moved from the iphone having had them from their introduction. They are user friendly and no doubt a fantastic bet . Sales and market share will demonstrate that.

But I took a plunge recently and picked up the Samsung galaxy s2. It had incredible reviews and many friends had one including John Beth from here.

After one day of learning the new os I have to say it is far superior to the iphone. Incredible features ...way more adaptable...excellent screen size....slimmer ....lighter .....best move I made . Believe me I was a die hard iphone fan until the S2.

I started with the Palm, moved to Android for about 5 months and went to the iPhone 4.
Never looked back. The iPhone is rock solid compared to my Droid. If I have a criticism of it it's that it is now a relatively old technology compared to the newer Androids. I'm looking forward to the iPhone 5 but that may be a ways off.
Whichever platform you end up choosing you are likely to wonder how you lived without it. My smartphone has improved my productivity and given me extra time at the end of the day that used to be reserved for answering emails.

What ???

RolexWatcher · 12 October 2011, 03:46 PM

Samsung Galaxy S2
iPhone 4

Both are pretty good. I think Samsung has the edge over iPhone 4 though. Not sure what iphone 4S will be. 4S seems to be a catch up to Samsung only but haven't tried it.

IMHO Samsung S II is very good phone...

yannis · 12 October 2011, 05:43 PM

Tried both galaxy s2 and iphone and it appears i am more of an iphone man. The apps make the difference for me. Once android phones get a match on the apps department then i will move to android again.

buffy · 12 October 2011, 05:52 PM

How can you Iphone folks live with iTunes! It just so horrible! I literally cried first time I used it.

A phone I would recommend that i love is the SonyEricsson Xperia Ray!

esm · 12 October 2011, 06:05 PM

Another advantage for the iPhone and Apple is their top notch after sales care

Java · 12 October 2011, 06:10 PM

thanks Dalip

that's also what work mates are telling me and also hwat i can read online. i tested out a mate's S2 and it was pretty slick

not keen on the 4S because of a) high costs and b) still limited in what i can do

gonna try out the S2 down the shop later

i guess no one knows but the Apple marketing machine has again succeeded at creating a massive hype about it so time will tell

i've mostly used Apple prods as well but their strategic approach to what user can and cant do has really put me off. prefer an un-fenced garden

watchf · 12 October 2011, 08:56 PM

Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 is the best phone on the market no doubt

I also have the previous generation Galaxy S.

The Galaxy s2 is so thin and light you will not believe it! Its screen is also wide enough to be useful and surfing TRF on it is a breeze. It is so good you can spend a whole afternoon in the toliet just surfing the net on it

You are right and there are several negative points about Apple's strategy. Jailbreaking is part answer to this although many people lack the time and basic knowledge in order to un-fence and customize their iPhone.

TattooedGQ · 12 October 2011, 09:19 PM

Android hands down. The Galaxy S2 is the phone to get.

chicfarmer1 · 12 October 2011, 09:58 PM

If I were buying today and my network had it, I'd certainly look at the Samsung Galaxy 2. When I was buying a few months ago I chose the Android Incredible 2 and I love it. I much prefer it to the I Phone, which I could have gotten for the same price. I prefer the customizable factor of Droid type phones, and the Droid apps are plenty sufficient.

Basically I object to the Apple philosophy of dictating my experience. Weirdly, I don't have that problem with their computers.

Punjabusa · 12 October 2011, 10:11 PM

iOS 5 !!

Puffy · 12 October 2011, 11:00 PM

iPhone, lots of apps and they work great!

Puffy · 13 October 2011, 02:02 AM

ONE hour in playing with the Galaxy S2 and I can confirm all of the above + great reviews i've read

it's an amazing piece of kit

SLRdude · 13 October 2011, 02:03 AM

I have every phone listed in this thread and the iPhone is still the best in my book.

As far as the SonyEricsson Xperia Play listed earlier in the thread... I'd say a huge NO to that one.
