Upgrading to a Galaxy S2 from an HTC Desire - is it worth it?

[cerebus]

8ta is stll selling the S2 for R3600... I reckon I'm going to pick up a couple and sell it for a pretty profit.

Good luck with that. 3500 is the absolute max they go for 2ndhand

Does not make it any less second hand.

Wow man, absolutely.

I can talk because I have both models.

The Desire was an awesome phone but as you know, has very little space for apps.

S2 has way better everything.

Only thing that the Desire had that you won't find is the optical track pad.

Just on the Xperia S, looks like it could be getting AOSP nightly support:

Turn it into a Nexus device essentially.

That's pretty cool, wonder how much they go for these days?

S2 is still a great phone...Go for it!!!!

This shouldn't sway you decision as you not going to find this on any other better specced HTC or Samsung.

And the non-obtrusive notification LED. The Galaxy S3 light is just way too bright.
