but sgs 2 users have no sense.

choose sensation as the best android challenger to iphone4's dominance.
its got the balance btwn hardware and software.

for pure geek ecstasy, sgs2 is better i suppose.

Yes, but the queue is morenden 400 pplnady.

Let's check that out in maxis website shall we?

WTF how come this thread deserve pin status?
somebody pls xplain?
issit bcos samsung or maxis paid some money?!!

true, that shld be on everybody's thinking.

but more disposable income also will not over-spend on a phone just to get bragging rights.
i have a practical mind.

This is 1st time phone specific thread got pinned.
Money must had xcged hands.

Simple really, money.

It's not the hardware. Even with gigabytes of ram or thousands gigahertz proc, android will always lag n will never be as smooth as iOS. That is the magic of apple. Right from the 1st gen iPhone, the web browser and overall system is smooth, even though hardware is not so advanced.

Furthermore, by using less hardware resources, iPhone and iPad battery life is always much much better compared to android devices.

What android wins is it's customize ability bcos of open source.
It also has a large community of customized ROMs programmers.
This is extremely sexy and appealing to geeks and nerds.

Instead of juz being a communication device, the smartphone is treated as a device to get high benchmark scores, different themes, increase battery life by bits, etc.

While other normal users are simply enjoying the simplicity, smoothness and beauty of iPhone.
Not to mention it's huge library of quality apps that android nerds can only envy jealously.

This is not meant to antagonize android fans but a statement of the plain truth.

Typical immature fanboy reply.

Android is not bad, just it cannot be compared to iPhones,
Even samsung knows this and they can only become apple copycat to the extent samsung is hauled into court.

i think that's exactly the point.
normal users won't be bothered to try out each and every ROM releases, they have much better things to do.
and in many cases, ROMs by the community are not always perfect and are quite buggy.
this is not a problem if u r a geek who loves to play with ur phone all the time.

on the other hand when u buy apple, the company does all the optimizations for you so the user does not have to be concerned and bothered.
a team of high skilled software and hardware experts combine to give you the perfect magical experience.
in other words, It Just Works.

of course, many geeks find this a total turn off bcos they think they are smarter then others.
so with apple's controlled system, the geeks find no satisfaction.

it really depends on what type of individual u are born as, family and circle of frens.


....


as for apple copying others just 2 points to remind u.

1) ceo of google was part of apple's board of directors and during those times eric schimdt stole many of apple's innovative concepts. hence android was born. and like many copycats, it was not as good as the original. while they can mimic most things, android can never copy the natural smoothness of iOS, which is essentially the soul of the iphone.

after eric was booted out from apple's board, android world was caught in surprise by the iPad and it took them one year to come out with a competitive product. and still up to today, no android tablet can compare with the mighty iPad.

2) samsung was very successful with 1st gen galaxy s bcos it is a copycat of iphone. the shape and also the home button.
again, even its 2nd gen device looks great but can never compare to the elegance and premium material style of iphone 4.
the latest device is still using flimsy plastic while the 1 year old design still remains as fresh as ever.


don't butt hurt yea.
cheers evrybody.

actually i am android user and a geek. but i'm not so active in modding my phone.
somehow, i am not smart enough like some super geeks here who flash ROMs like eating groundnuts.

am not saying android is shit, but just expressing my opinions.
if the rat black i call it black rat, never white rat.

had never owned iphone (too expensive) before, only macbook and ipad.

but once a year, i go to arizona for deepavali so can try iphones from my cousins.
also i do part time trading

my mobile phones history
nokia 8250-> samsung s500 -> htc tytyn2 -> galaxy s -> sensation

but now, my motorbike was spoilt, need money.

mak cik thought it was iphone.

most young ppl are now materialistic and treat phone as one of status symbol.
usually, they buy expensive smartphones using epp or telco plans.
end up disposable income is less.

don't think so. it happened just on galaxy s2 launching day and the problem is still persisting.
i think either one of the mods or lyn owner received a small amt of money from either samsung/maxis for this.

perhaps u've used iphone before?
but for android fans, the smoothness is a big deal.
nvm dat battery life sucks unless u disable all the features that made it a smartphone.
