I'm glad I have the Galaxy S-II :biggrin:

I'll stick with my HTC Sensation

Not really surprised, neither are what you might call tough phones! Good to see the Galaxy beating the iPhone yet again. I've been debating this one a lot recently and all the tests I've seen put the Galaxy ahead, hoping to get one soon

I have a small Samsung phone here (Galaxy Portal). That taught me one thing - never buy a Samsung phone again. I bought it believing that, as it was Android, it would be updated as new versions came out. But no. Samsung decide not to upgrade certain phones in order to make you go for their newer ones. That's fine unless you're stuck in a 2-year contract. Two years with zero updates means I've had an out of date phone since I first got it.

Never again.

At least Apple didn't abandon my iPod touch as soon as I bought it. My next phone will be an iPhone, if only so I'm not hung out to dry by the manufacturer of an Android phone again.

I dont think this is fair comparision mate
If you compare galaxy s II to iphone yes. fair enough. but this is two diferent shelfs if you ask me..

I have had an iphone, a 3g, then a 3gs, (both on O2)and i NEVER ever want another apple phone, I never ever want anything to do with itunes, it is the most hideous, invasive, arogant bit of SW ever, and while the device was always pretty dam cool, it was always a pretty useless phone.
Seriously thinking about android, lets open up the debate.
ANDROID or Apple OS ? even windows 7 mobile? ......... I've never had a blackberry .....
Please advice me where to spend my next 24m of £25 - £35 pcm
I think I've decided it mustn't be on the '3' network
Thanks

I wish you were talking rubbish as I have had a fair few samsung phones over the years and have always found them to be great, usually loads of features and excellent battery life. I bought the samsung Monte not long after its launch and whilst I knew it wasn't android I was expecting to be able to get apps from the samsung store for it but 4 weeks after launch they stopped supporting it and no apps were ever available. The GPS in it is useless and the closest it will usually get you is in with 1200 metres, not much use for anything. I can understand manufacturers not supporting your phone after 12-24 months but weeks after launch is stupid, it has seriously put me off samsung now knowing it wasn't just 1 phone.

All the reviews I have read say android is by far the best, powerful, loads of apps free and paid. Iphone does have good software but the Itunes aspect is PITA. Windows 7 doesn't have all the apps and a lot of the windows one are paid apps, but that could change if people buy into the windows phones and developers have a bigger audience to make apps for.
