Thread: iPhone vs Samsung Galaxy S2

I have an S2 and absolutely love it, I am a huge fan of the Android OS. My wife had (and loved) a 3gs and then upgraded to an S2 which she loves now. It really is a fantastic phone.

That said however - my boss just traded in his 3gs for an S2 and regrets it. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

To answer your question though, you definitely can move your itunes music library over to the S2.

I can understand why people love Apple stuff, it is lush. But I switched from a 3G to this HTC and despite the issues it has had with the Gingerbread OS, I wouldn't go back. For one thing, I am with o2 and their phone contracts for iPhone are ludicrous if you don't want to pay upfront for your handset. When I was looking at upgrades, to get an iPhone 4 would have cost me an extra ten pounds a month AND they insisted you took out insurance on it. Which I just couldn't justify. So I went with the infinitely cheaper HTC contract and saved myself a fortune. It does what it is supposed to do, and plenty of things that you would have never imagined a phone would do twenty years ago, and wow, even makes calls!

As smartphones go, its pretty damn smart, and for a damn sight less money.

Thanks for all the advice and opinions I stuck with what I know and went for the iPhone 4s! It arrived this morning and I've just charged it and am about to sync it thanks again xx

How you finding the iphone Jo?

I love the iPhone!! Get Temple Run - its a free game and utterly addictive!

I have had both android and iphone and tbh not too much difference between them. You can get equivalent apps for almost everything on both devices.

If you want an iphone and can afford it then I say go for it, however I personally can never afford a brand new shiny one I just have a £10 a month sim only contract (and usually get cashback too so costs even less) and just buy a handset to use it with. So much cheaper to do it this way. I do now have an Iphone but it's an old model (3gs) and I got it second hand so cost a tiny fraction of what it would cost me to get a shiny new model!!

What really is the difference between an iPhone, Android and Windows phone? They all have the same features as each other, apart from the name might be different. I really dislike people who get iPhones and think they have status' for using an apple product. I have a Nokia Lumia 800 in Pink which is running Windows, I wouldn't change it - some moron said to me at work 'iPhone is the best phone in the world and yours is just a copy'. Get a phone that you like and feel comfortable using! I personally don't like the Android Software, I had an iPhone 3G for ages and now I've upgraded to something else. I think both phones are equally as good as each other, apart from my new phone is a lot more up to date and sleeker.

I can't abide phone snobs - but I do like my iPhone! I work for the NHS, so Orange gave me 25% off the phone and the contract - you just need to show them a wage slip. X

Both, Galaxy s2 and iPhone are currently the best phones in market now. Since, you are not much in Gadgeting, i suggest you to buy it on this site.
