1263052 2012-03-05 00:27:00 Any thoughts on these two phones?

My 2 years is up so its time to throw away the rotton apple and get an Android phone.

Hell yeah.

Anyhow, went in to get the HTC, Its freakin huge, as is, not sleek.

So i looked at the Samsung.

Then I left.

And figured I'd ask for opinions.

1263054 2012-03-05 01:34:00 geekaphone.com Pretty much answers your query I think. Galaxy wins hands down. Only draw-back I can see comparing the two is the Galaxy has a smaller screen - although I would consider that a bonus as I think they are getting to big and stupid anyway. I have a mate in Digital Mobile and asked him pretty much the same question a month or 2 back. Said they were getting a number of come-backs on the HTC and were not overly reliable. I dont know if that was a fault with the model or a fault with the brand. Personally, I would go for a Galaxy.

Um... from the page: Reason to buy an HTC is faster processor? Oh really, the HTC has a single core 1.5GHz and the Galaxy has a Dual Core 1.2GHz.

Frequency 1.5 GHz vs 1.2 GHz While the Sensation XL has a very powerful processor, the Galaxy S II's is almost as fast
Number of cores Single core vs Dual core The Galaxy S II has an impressive 2 cores while the Sensation XL is average with only 1

Being dual core, I would have thought it should walk all over the HTC.

1263056 2012-03-05 01:57:00 Get the SGS2.

Has NFC, and will be getting the latest Android-4.0 (ICS) very, very shortly.

Presumably those are your limited options coz they're being subsidized? Means the Galaxy Nexus is out?

1263057 2012-03-05 03:34:00 Sorted, Got the Samsung.

The phone upgrades are all part of the business package, every two years the plan rolls over and its new phone time.

Good for me, seeing as I don't work for the business anymore.Muhahahahaha

Anyhow, who wants to swap their video card for an iphone3?

I have an nVidia 7300GT AGP card I'll swap you for it, though personally I think you're getting the better end of the deal ;)
