Just wanna get the feeling from you guys if you reckon its worth selling my brand new white S2 and buying a new Nexus 3.
Will be paying R1800 extra after i sell my S2 to get the Nexus.Starting to think its not worth it as the specs more or less the same.
Nexus might have ICS and bigger screen,but no micro sd card and camera worse than S2.
Also the speaker not very good on Nexus.
Think i would rather keep my S2 and wait for the S3??
:confused:

Glue, you've mentioned all the reasons why you shouldn't do it.

ICS will be coming officially to the S2 soon. And if you can't wait, there's more than enough channels to getting your Ice Cream Sandwhich fettish going :)

The only problem with waiting for ICS for the s2 is that it comes with touchwiz, which iSnt gonna give you the full ICS experience that the Nexus will give you.... I guess its all about personal preference....

Keep your S2 and wait for the S3 which would probably be available sometime later this year. In the meantime you can load one of the many custom ICS roms or the official one if you like TouchWiz. Personally I would not be getting the S3 when it becomes available, phones are getting too big, imo 4.3 inches is the perfect screen size for a touchscreen phone.

Congrats. But I think you're gonna shyte yourself when you start seeing vids of the S3 in use in a few weeks :p

Agh, you can't always keep up with the gear fever. Enjoy your handset!

Quick one here... How did you get your S2 sold so quickly? (That's if you did actually sell it...)

Sold it on Carbonite for a bargain price.Sold in couple minutes:)

Well my friend did ICS update on his S2 and you can barely see the diffs before and after the update...Think TouchWiz is the problem..
The Nexus is like night and day compared to S2.

That is the biggest let-down with the ICS update for the S2, TouchWiz is suck a bummer.... They could have at least given it an upgrade, even if they just did the icons.....
