Hi all,

Looking at getting a new phone, considering an android, currently have a blackberry.

I went today to look and wanted to know people's thoughts on the galaxy s2 and the ace?

Any other is should be looking at?

Really don't want to spend too much per month and will only be in a top up contract.

Thx

I think we discussing just this in the other thread in here :)

Ordered my Xperia S yesterday. But I guess best question would be what are you looking for?

The Ace is android, friend of mine has one, and it definitely is.

@OP if you are wanting a fairly cheap phone that has fairly good battery life for an android phone, then go for the Galaxy Ace. If you want speed and power, as well as the bragging rights of one of the Samsung flagship phones, then take the S2. I know someone who has that phone and it is extremely fast.

Bottom Line:
Much Cheaper but lower spec'd - Galaxy Ace
Much Faster and more expensive - Galaxy S2

Hope that helps somewhat :p

EDIT - Just realised you said that you didnt want to spend too much and going to be on a top up contract, in that case, the Galaxy Ace is probably your better bet, as the S2 is still expensive on contract and as far as I know will require a large pay in on a top up contract.

The S3 is coming out just about now.... but for a topup contract it would be rather pricey.

Anyone have any idea what the S3 will be on contract, or is it still a bit soon to tell?

HTC One X is the best device out there at the moment and beats the imminent S3. The S2 is a brilliant phone and a major upgrade from any BlackBerry device. The Ace isn't worth it IMO...

I see some Edgars stores now provide "real" phones on display for testing purposes. Tested out the lumia 800, Note and S2 at an Edgars store.
