My friend is speaking in my ear that GS2 is way better than Xoom, I tell him no, another friend (Galaxy S2, Xperia X10 and iPad 2 user/ passive Xoom user because I let him use) tell no too, so let's proof my friend he is wrong.
He says the awesome ppl says that, but no one is more awesome than XDA, so please post here with your opinion and why

I agree, what is better for you depends on your need. I have both, and find the xoom more indispensable and definitely better for web surfing, email, calendar work, and the periodic movie. You just can't beat the real estate (screen size). If phone calls or texting are top priority, then SGS2 is your choice. It is a great phone and I love it, but the screen is too small for heavy work. If you need everything and truly must rely on one device, I'd recommend the international version of the samsung note. I'm actually waiting on one that will replace my SGS2... just want more screen to make it more useful. The international version has the same internal hardware as the SGS2, and is nearly as fast (a bit slower due to pushing more pixels).
Nokia 3100. Don't even look at anything else, its the best by far.

I like reading A LOT, i have 4GB of epub book on my sensation ( the average book is ~1mb so do the math how many titles i have)
Now the 4.3" screen on the sensation aint quite for reading, im looking for a tablet, which one do u recommend (mostly for the reading aspect, so a screen in probably most important, given the fact that i will be looking at it for a long time)
P.s kindles arent for me, id still like to have a powerhouse( asus, g.tab, xoom, ipad, jetstream etc)
So what can u recommend me?
P.s the htc reader app is hands.down the best

Nothing worth that price. If you don't mind the screen size... Grab a nook color or something. They're going for one hundred shipped. Or get a regular asus transformer.

Get the Asus Transformer, since its mostly for reading, dual core is more than perfect. Handles movies and music very well too. And the keyboard attachments is amazing.

I think the htc evo view/flyer might be a winner. I haven't used it but I've been searching around for a while and waited for the htc flyer. then changed my mind according to reviews. however, there is a large customer base that love the htc evo view for note taking and reading especially. With the price drop to about 280 its definitely a steal or grab a used one for cheaper. I just bought it from an xda member on here waiting for it to arrive.
Then maybe in a few months maybe get another tablet or see what the ipad 3 looks like.
The htc jetstream i hear doesnt work as good as the view fyi.

Awe toche couldnt have said it better myself... lol. I would with the Transformer, I would wait though till they release the revised version of the Prime. All kinds of GPS issues and what not plus it going the same price as the original Prime. Or you could wait for the Asus MeMo.
If you find a deal on Lenovo K1, grab it. Can be rooted, and powerful,
with reasonable price. 1280X800 resolution.

Toshiba Thrive
Bought a Toshiba Thrive for my wife. Of course I use it more than her. It's wonderful. Dual Core processor, Nivedia graphics, 10 inch screen. Very fast, responsive. Plus you gotta love having HDMI out, USB ports. Rooted and it becomes even better.
iPad 3 releases soon?
I like the power of Android Tablets and I like the Asus Transformer; how will they stand up to iPad 3?
Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 Plus - I own this tab and it's perfect for reading. Just the right size for holding with one hand and very light. 10" tabs are too big for comfortably holding and reading for long periods. This tab also has great specs and is very responsive. I've had no issues running any apps or games on it.
Read the reviews.
I love my Galaxy Tab 7.7 for reading - powerful enough, is light as hell, and has a better screen than any other tablet available at the moment (just put it next to anything you like and the difference is obvious).
Plus its reader sized and will fit in my jacket pocket/jeans back pocket.
I've heard the galaxy tab is pretty damn good, but yea like others said Asus prime is pretty good
Ah dammit now.. i hate so many choices -.-"

Guys,
Please help me. I am not able to decide which one to buy. Can you people please advice so that I can zero on one of them !!!!
It is a simple choice of simplicity or features.

To be fair mate, even if the iPhone was better than the S3 in every way, the majority on here would still say the S3 because Android kicks ass :
Personally though, I would pick the S3 because it's more powerful, more customizable and generally a better phone.
And that's not because I'm an Android fanboy, cause I'm not, it's simply because S3 performs much better. But as Allanitomwesh said, it's a choice of simplicity or features.

If you have the option of either I just don't see the point in the 4S. No phone is future proof but the SIII will give you a lot longer useable life than the 4S at this point.

As a user of both phones... ill say i prefer the S3... same reeason everyone is saying....
S3 is faster, very customisable lot of useless thing to do with... useless but im sure you will want to do...
Iphone is simpler. Does what iit is supous to do..
Easy answer... Android rules and is the best so pick the s3. Iphone is for follower
LG Faberon made by meinem GNote aus Berlin TTTT
A big one is price. The S3 is much newer and fuller featured than the 4S, but the 4S still costs almost as much as it did on release. So if you have to buy now the S3 is more bang for your buck (outright at least).
Still it'll be interesting to see what the ip5 is like. I'm locked into the android ecosystem enough that it'll take a lot to convert me, but it will no doubt be a great phone.
Samsung is going to unveil a new device in their Galaxy flagship - probably a 5.5 incher Note II. I can't wait for iPhone 5 but now I am confused between GS III and the to be released device. It's obvious, I think, considering we don't have to buy a phone at its outright price here in India. Buying such a high end phone is a sort of one time luxury for me. Wish it was the same as US where people switch over their older models for new one as soon as it is out in the market. So, wait for August 15th then or quickly jump on the bandwagon by buying the SIII ?
S3 is galaxies better than any of Apple's i****
If you only use it for texting maybe iprone. But why would anyone get a tiny screen? Video photos browsing all much better on s2 or s3. Beauty? Android. BUT im waiting to get s3 till 4g lte is available in my area.

Ditto here.I am eyeing at the HTC One V for normal android use.And my P6200 can be used for when the single core processor of the One is not enough and for surfing the interwebz when iam at home.
though i don't really use my P6200 as my main phone i use it more for 3G connectivity when i'm out..
I kinda miss my HTC wildfire S when i don't want to carry my tab around..

Does the Sony SmartWatch work with our tab? Specifically the 6200. I want to interact with it sometimes with just the watch, e.g. Tab on the bag and etc. I think it's fun. Lol.
I would miss my new tab. Sold a iPod Touch for this little bad boy. Love it so far, but I am only using it for simple tasks.
Facebook, iHeartRadiom, Skype and Angry Birds LOL
I have been researching and I don't think there is an android phone with the smoothness , batt life , GPU speed etc that can compare with our tablet,
Except HTC one, but still it fails in batt life.
Sent from my GT-P6200 using xda premium
Yeah I do leave my tab at home nowadays, too lazy to carry it along everytime I go out. I just usually bring my Blackberry when I go out for simple stuff. I wouldn't ever want to sell this tab to replace it with an android phone. Though there are quad core phones and all, I still don't feel the satisfaction of playing games or surfing the web on a smaller screen. Also, I use my tab to type documents for work, which would be quite a hassle doing on a phone. Overall, I think someday I might buy myself an android phone again replacing my old Galaxy Ace that I sold to buy this tab, but I'll never sell this tab. It never hurts having a lot of devices right?

I got rid of my cell phone and ever since i got the tab i decided there was really no need for any type of android phone....

Well, you say that the SGS3 will soon be outdated but in all honesty do you really care about the newer hardware? The only real changes which will be made soon are 1080p screens and better processors. You will never see the difference between 1080p and 720p screens unless you're specifically comparing them side by side to see purely the sharpness of the screen, and I have yet to find an app that I regularly use that even the SGS2 can't handle with ease, so I doubt you'll find one for the SGS3. It takes heavy games in its stride too, since many devs optimise their apps for the SGS3's chipset (in a similar way that you see Tegra3 optimised games).
Having said this, the SGS3 also has a lot that other phones don't:
-There are various storage options and more importantly expandable storage
-Being so popular means that it has a huge variety of accessories (almost iPhone-like in that respect)
-It has a removable battery which means that you can fit an extended battery if you wish
-It has a menu button so you don't get the three dots softkey like you do on HTCs
-TouchWiz (whilst ugly) has some amazing features
-It still has one of the best smartphone cameras currently available
-The development community is huge
-It has a variety of colour options
Samsung galaxy s3.
I think I'm leaning towards the s3 or sucking it up and waiting for the s4 the storage for the dna is a huge deal breaker

Are you tied to a contract at all with your N4? The specs appear to be better on the newer phones, but you must hold strong and stay away from hype and read some good Vs. reviews. Personally I'd hold on another year to the N4 (quality, solid, well supported device) and see what next year has to offer.

I used HTC One V, X and S for a certain period of time. They all worked without any problems, except for One V, that one was feeling a bit laggy, but it's the first device in the HTC One line and has only 512mb of RAM. Anyway, I would go for the HTC One

I understand but what might be a better performer for me may be different for someone else and previous devices don't matter, now is what matters. All the reviews online will help you more, trust me. And the nexus 4, HTC One and galaxy s 4 are all fast phones so it won't even matter. What matters is if you like stock android, if you like sense or touchwiz, if you're ok with a plastic phone or if you need a premium looking phone, if you need the best performer in the camera... there are so many factors here and again we all have different opinions, even some of us are having a hard time choosing but if speed is what you're looking for than the nexus 4 is very fast I can tell you that now.
