Err, you do know that caps lock is one of the easiest ways to encourage folk to troll/flame you, right? You may wish to lay off of that or cut back on your caffeine in the future.
That being said, yes, there are complaints about the way Samsung did a few things with the galaxy S line, like using a terrible file format system and neglecting to use working GPS hardware. However, I can tell you that my Focus is really fantastic to use, and is working great, so I'd imagine that the upcoming Nexus S will work great as well. As always, pay attention to the bits of reviews that talk about the parts that are important to you, instead of blindly following the overall opinions of another gadget fanboy. The smartphone is one of the most personal items you will ever own, and you need to make sure that you are looking for what matters to you.
My friend pl
U can use YouTube for comparison of both phones.it will give u more info and I Think GPS problem is only thing to bother with nexus s otherwise best phone IMHO
lg optimus one
Most negative things about Samsung has to do with their slow or lack of ability to update their devices. I have a Samsung Epic and love it. Now the Nexus S is a different breed from the other Galaxy S line up in the update department because Google is in charge of rolling out updates to it. It will be among, if not first, to receive updates to the OS. So that being said, Samsung and their ability to not roll out updates will not effect the Nexus S. You should be happy with the Nexus S, untill dual core processors come out next year such as the LG Star.

Worst experience with the galaxy S is that hummingbird processor of theres is screwy. I work for T-mobile and have a friend who works for verizon. We both have people come in all the time talking about their phone running very slowly. It seems like the buffer is overrunning and sadly Samsung expects people to ride em down til they're non-functional before they'll replace that. Hummingbird is certainly not the best, it's as unstable as they come. That and the lack of updates but since the Nexus S is a google phone you wont have to worry bout that part
It simply comes down to the lack of updates. I currently own the Fascinate (only Samsung product I own) and have been happy with it other than the inexistent to no support for this phone.
I just take it as a lesson and not upset at all. I've already moved on to other products other than Samsung and will never buy another product from them again. Live and learn I guess.

The Pron you can get on samsung is of the same quality that you get on other phones. Cheap, nasty and badly acted. In other words 5 stars.
Hello,
I thought posting it here would offer non biased opinions by people, since I'm going be asking that I'm trying to decide between galaxy tab or DHD or nexus s. I'm having a hard time deciding, i love htc devices but sammy's tab and nexus s seem very good also. So, I'm looking for your opinion on this, I know the specs of each device.
Wait either a tablet or a phone? Are you planning on using the tablet as a phone or would you have a regular one for use?
Also, I would say to wait because of all of the new phones just announced at CES and with MWC right around the corner, amazing things are going to be happening very, very soon.
But to answer your question now, what are you going to mostly use it for? Are you planning on hacking or... ?

Hi,
Google Nexus uses Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS but Samsung and DHD are using older version. The processor speed of Desire HD is much better. DHD has 8MP camera and other are using 5MP. Comparatively, I recommend DHD tablet.
So, I end up getting the sammy tab. The 7inch screen would be awesome to watch stuff on and it owns the ifail(ipad) in all ways.
Well im glad you like it, but FWIW, the ipad os the best tablet out right now.
It isn't just selling because it was made by apple; I have one myself and I love it to death for what it does.

hi guys n girls
looking at getting a new phone tomorrow and just wondering what u guys would recomend
ive been looking at the htc evo 3d
the galaxy s 2
and the galaxy note
really not interested in an iphone though as i hate apple
any advice would be greatly recieved,
many thanks
steve
ps current phone is the galaxy s 1
I have an Evo 3D and enjoy it, the Galaxy 2 is excellent as well. The Note is not in the US yet, but I plan on getting one soon. AT&T looks like they will have it first, though I somewhat prefer Verizon.
At the end of the day there are a lot of good phones, it depends on what the carrier has. I could go either way on AT&T and Verizon, so I'll probably go with whoever get's the Note/Journal first.
galaxy s2 if u want good performance and nice phone
Hi Steve,
Well you said it all by saying the names of the candidates. I wouldn't get the HTC because either SGS2 and Note have a really good performance (better than HTC Evo 3D i'd say), also i've known HTCs for having bad camera performances..
I have the SGS2 and it's just amazing, i love how smooth and fast it is.
If you want a bigger screen then you know the Note is for you, you can also use it to make drawings and stuff like that if you're creative or in the other way around, if you want 3D, the HTC is your phone.
In my opinion i'd get the SGS2, i don't really like HTC phones because of their UI and not really good performances overall.
EDIT: also, the SGS2's camera is really good imo, i love its quality and the videos are stunning as well. Don't forget how thin and light it is!
Good luck on your decission
Galaxy note is better if you like a big screen
thanks for the replies,
just thought are there any other phones (uk market) that anyone would recomend over these
i do like the idea of a large screen and also like the idea of 3d photos
y do they make it so hard to choose now lol
cheers
steve
Lol yeah, you could check LG phones or Sony Ericsson Experia (or future Sony only Experia), but i don't recommend LG because of their bad SO update reputation
There's a lot to choose, but my suggestion is the SGS2 or Note.
Depends on your price. I had a galaxy s 2. But the forums were full of idiots and noob questions. Plus being honest what the hell is the point in all that power when battery isn't the best.
Anyhow Bought a nexus s unlocked from cpw for 199 and put the extra 150 towards a holiday. And now I have a gorgeous looking phone with a great community behind it. And great support from Google. No UI over the the phone. So despite not being dual core. Its fast.
And don't even start about quadrant!!!!!! Lol

forgot to mention my budget , i can get any phone i wish on contract over here for free so money is no issue
Wait for those A15 cores!
I love HTC products, but of that list the G SII is the best choice... in my opinion.
I'm assuming you're on Sprint?

ok...i help you!!!!
if u need costly and great phone....go for htc sensation xe...
if u want mid range device....go for samsung galaxy ace!!!!...gud luck.
Galaxy s2. Fo show. But make sure you're getting the one with the exynos chipset, not the snapdragon.
you can choose GSS2 for android or perhaps Nokia Lumnia for w7.... it's your choice.
SGS2 is also good.
I think it greatly depends on how soon you want to change your phone. April - May is the time when a lot of the phone companies start rolling out their latest phones. If you are looking at last generation, I would say either the Sensation XE or the Galaxy SII. As far as i know, both of them have been upgraded to ICS.
HTC has a pretty good interface with their Sense, but it tends not to be very optimized, and it is common to suffer from an exceptionally short battery life (perhaps one day with minimal to moderate use).
On the other hand, the Galaxy SII is hardware wise quite a beast, and AMOLED screen is impressive. I have issues with the design of touchwiz and the physical button at the bottom of the phone annoys me. Other than that, it has quite the battery life, so it evens out.
looking at this gen, the HTC one x is very powerful, and is meant to be HTC's flagship phone, so i'm curious why no one mentioned it. besides that, Asus entered the market with the padfone, which seems to have potential, but we have to wait and see if it will be as good as they claim. last is the samsung galaxy SIII. my vote is to wait till samsung announces its new flagship phone (rumored to be 22 may), and then decide from there.
Since you are in xda developers, i'm assuming you are not very interested in the interface anyway so just go for the one with the best computing power, and best battery.
if you are going for wp7 phones, just wait for lumia 900. the 800 looks rather sad.
of course there's always the iphone 4s or the iphone 5 if you are willing to wait till september.

I was actually thinking about getting the Sensation XE or the Galazy S2. HTC devices seem to have a lack of battery life which is why I'm leaning more towards the S2. As for the new gen of phones the only one I am really interested in is the HTC One S. As much as I would like a quad core processor in my phone, it may be very battery consuming. Not interested in iOS or WP7 so that rules those phones out. Guess I will wait untill the One S is released to see the price of the phone in comparison to the S2
HTC One X, not quite out yet, but it is incredible.
Love the HTC Sensation XE <3
Skyrocket
I love my Galaxy 2II Skyrocket, fastest and best phone I've owned in years. Flashed sky ice to it and its absolutely unbeatable.
I have the Vibrant, I'm using an ICS ROM. 4.0.4.
I don't use my phone for a lot of web browsing, more or less social things and games. I'm sort of sore on flashing new ROM's though I LOVE exploring them all!
For people already using a Galaxy, what would be your pro's and con's?
I've looked into the phone and it sounds amazing, dual-core snapdragon, stock 4.0.4, it looks to be as big as the Galaxy s II and a nice AMOLED screen.
Has anyone used one of these guys yet? How do you like it? Does it live up to your expectations?
There are some fantastic new features. A colleague tried one for an hour last weekend and his questions to me was 'why can't we have these at work' we currently have S2's
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
I really like the whole "Sharing" thing between Galaxy III's.
Did your work pay for the S2's? That's very nice of them!
I wasn't impressed enough (compared to my Vibrant.) to spend the extra money upgrading an S2, but the SIII really has my attention.
I'm contemplating it very hard. Through my carrier I think it's going to be $280 before extra fee's though..that's pricey especially since the first I paid $250 and received a $50 MIR. :/
Coming from a Vibrant..definitely should upgrade. If you had an S2 or something comparable, it wouldn't be worth it unless you could get a really good deal.
Thank you lowandbehold. I feel a tad better about my wants. I was hoping it wasn't just because it was new. The hardware upgrades them self already make my giddy/
Although the Galaxy III is a killer in terms of performance and software features, which make it highly desirable especially for people who have an old smartphone, you should also take the upcoming iPhone 5 into consideration.
Another phone worth checking out is the HTC one X. Although not superior in performance compared to the GIII, it has a lot of notable features and shoots photo's fast due to it's fast camera processor.

Though the camera supports 1080P at 30FPS on the Samsung Galaxy S3 while the HTC One X doesn't. I would say get the Galaxy S3, the iPhone screen just seems tiny to me after having the Galaxy S3 since launch.
The iPhone 5 might be worth waiting out for if you have the patience to wait. Apparently Foxconn's CEO said the next iPhone "will put Samsung’s Galaxy III to shame."

Lol, doubt it
Thank you for your suggestion, however I am not an iPhone person and I don't believe T-Mobile will be getting the iPhone5. Or at least there's no official word on it. Just hopeful reports of people stating that 'It could happen! Maybe..'
I just love the android's platform and it's lack of boundaries. I've also heard rumor of some Android's having a "Flash Counter" that count the number of times you've actually flashed the phone, and because of it the warranty won't be active. (Like the Galaxy Note supposedly has one.) I could also be wrong since I haven't looked into this. On that note, I don't believe they'll be implementing this feature into the SnapDragon CPU's. However correct me if I'm wrong! I'm very much a phone newbie.
My friend owns a One X while another has the new Razr Maxx.
Since they aren't brand new I'm curious as to switching to those guys..it would be cheaper however have the same quality as the S3?
I've been with Samsung for 8 years now and they haven't let me down.
So loyalty stays with Samsung for their phones.
