iPhone 4 vs SG2

Sorry if I misunderstood your statement, cos ICS is the upgrade for Gingerbread.

If you are happy with your phone, then you've made the right choice. ;)

Now worries, you too re choice... ;)
 
At this stage I'd take a look at the Motorola RAZR instead of the SGS2

The battery seems to be doing much better than the SGS2, the RAZR also has to be the sexiest phone atm

Aside from the size, I don't like the side profile -- pushing the thinner dimension is contra to maintaining good optics -- I'd rather they pack additional battery than a thinner and weird looking profile.

Like I said if you where like me and where looking for 4.3". Actually its the phone I want the most, Just dont know when and if it will come to SA

Will most probably hit the moment I picked up my SGS2 or RAZR(Still haven't decided what I will get the end of next month)

I'd wait if I was you - specs are great coupled ICS and really really great battery life... Gotta be one of the better Android phones on the market.

I have tried to be honest, it reminds me too much of a HP iPAQ I had a long time ago... Was just way to big to be comfortable carrying around.

And the wrong OS ;)
 
OP I'd suggest that you should get an iPhone 4S, please do not even consider an iPhone 4.

Pro
1. Solid designs, good contruction quality
2. Accessories, almost all major retailers have iPhone stock
3. GPU, it is simply unrivaled, there is no phone on the Market that have a better GPU http://www.anandtech.com/show/4971/apple-iphone-4s-review-att-verizon/6 . You can't really pick anything less in this department
4. The ecosystem,the App Store has excellet Apps and Content that you want find anywhere else, though for it to be a plus you have to create a US account(its easy with iTunes) then you'll have access to the most comprehensive Appstore and iTunes University App which you can use it to access thousands of study material.

Cons
1. Screen Size, for me its more than adequate, but if you've used something larger you'd think that your downgrading.

OK you start off by saying he should get the S instead of the normal one but then go off on a anti Android rant.

Did you fail reading or are you so anti Android that you cant even start giving proper points on why he should not consider a 4 without basing the wrong product?

I remember clearly seeing "Now these 2 phones fall within my budget" in his statement so if you say he should go for the S instead would you be so kind as try and redo your listing the proper reasons for your argument?

I am not against Android, I'm a gadget lover:p. As a matter of fact, I do own Galaxy S, Galaxy Tab(P1000), Samsung Y and LG P500, among many of my gadgets, some I hardly use them, I'm not in the habit of selling.

I played around with the S2, awesome screen, but that's about it, Android is not a plus 4me, that's why I recommended iPhone 4S, mainly because apart from screen size, its still unmatched. Someone mentioned that OP should just get iPhone4, that would be a grave mistake, they may look alike but they are not. the 4S has better hardware and better GPU than the iPhone4, better camera, processor, SIRI(If you travel to USA like me, or any of the supported countries), plus the iPhone4S is newer, it will have better support on updates for years to come.

Most phones call, sms and browse internet. So looking at OP's budget he is looking for a phone that can do more than that. And my best choice would be the iPhone4S, maainly because it has the best GPU, if your going to do more than calling with your phone that means your going to make use of the GPU, so why settle for an under-resourced phone, when you can get the phone with the best GPU for the same/similar price?

Also the app ecosystem for iOS is more matured and feature rich than the Android market, but only if you use a US account, iOS allows the use of multiple accounts, so you could have a US, French, SA account all on one device. iTunes U alone, is a killer app/service for me because it gives me access to a wide range of study material.

Jailbreaking simply nulifies the customization bit for a negative on iOS compared with Android considering that OP has already JB his iPad.

Accesorries, accessories, accessories. Everywhere you go, you find them for iPhone. Samsung S2 accessories are available for now but will they be in 12 months time? It's already difficult for me to find accessories for my Galaxy S. Even 2 years later you'd still be able to find accessories for the iPhone, I can't say much about the Samsung though.

I have the iPad 2 + Android phone combo and have no issues with ecosystems. The iPad is a tablet and the SGS2 is a phone. In my world the two devices have different roles. I'm not trying to do on my phone what I do on my iPad or run phone apps on my pad. Most of the stuff I use on my Android phones are free. Most of the apps on my iPad are paid for. I like having the best of both worlds. The iPod Touch is actually worth getting if you go for an Android phone but you want to stay in the Apple ecosystem to use the smaller phone apps and have invested in music docks etc.

I beg to differ!

Got myself a HTC Wildfire S as a backup phone & love it!!

It has a 3.2" display, running Gingerbread 2.3.5 with HTC Sense 2.1 - cash price for it hovers around the R3000 mark.

One of my best buys for 2011.

NB the words "backup phone". It's not your everyday phone so until you use it 24/7/365 I think your opinion is moot
