am in cross road between IP4 and this...been reading and reading as many posts but am afraid some of it too technical- ROMs, roots, etc, etc... I must say this thread is making it easier to understand as much as possible I know the general consensus is IP4 is better if you want life to be simple-out of box use and Android is superb for people who like tweak, etc.. but its astounding to see the number of S2 users....must be a superb phone and friendly OS... wish me luck in choosing the right model (and trying to understand as much on all the technical stuffs here..)

thanks to all the 2 bros here for their feedback...or should i say poison..haha! good to hear personal experiences..will update here if i do go for S2... Added on August 10, 2011, 9:27 amQUOTE(Dark_Angel85 @ Aug 10 2011, 09:12 AM) I'm in the same boat as you are... and rightly so because this is a huge investment. RM2K++ is a big amount no matter who you are. So, the most important is foreseeing how your investment can get better in the future. How you could make it better after a few years of getting it? I've had a lot of chances to fiddle with the iphone4 because many of my friends have them. I would say it's a reallllly good phone for what it can do = an app machine. It's really all about the apps. the phone itself only has the most basic functions and there is nothing in it that you can do to boost it or change it... as time goes by, it gets better i.e. you can get MORE APPS and that just goes on and on.. more apps more apps and that's how it gets better. What I've noticed with android based phones is it can get better in other ways. besides the app store, it can also get better by doing many personal modifications as you would risk. Of course reflashing is always the end thing that you can do once things go wrong but the most important is, you can make the phone better NOT just by adding more apps to it. The one catch that used to separate this obvious plus from iOS is that iOS is tonnes more fluid than any android based phone at that time.... However, the SGSII has proven that it has bridged that part of the separation. It is JUST as fluid as iOS... i dare claim. I feel that that is the most compelling reason why I would also choose to switch to it soon.  BTW, when you say fluid you mean the touch screen swiping functions?

QUOTE(mydragoon @ Aug 10 2011, 09:37 AM) i think he/ she meant the scrolling and moving between home screens. you'd be surprised many iphone users actually comment android phones have this 'problem' -- moving between home screen is not fluid and smooth. but i have friends who tested my sgs2 and said they are impressed to moving between home screens and scrolling is sooooOOOoo smooth... like on iphone. is it any wonder why samsung is getting sued?!? lol... thanks for feedback. what amazes me is this thread...the efforts of people like benny...kudos!

QUOTE(maks_pain @ Aug 10 2011, 09:52 AM) IP4 is already outdated for me unless you're waiting for IP5. Anyway SGS2 can be GOOD enough for normal user without rooting, flashing & tweaking. Even if u decide to not root also, u still able to do a lot of customization. Believe me.. Faster, Lighter & Slimmer! In another story, Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 sales blocked in Europe..Cilakoi Epal! that i agree...but wait for IP5 also got difficulties-not sure 100% when announced, then not sure 100% when release in Malaysia, then the long long queue/out of stock matters....and maybe by that time, IP6 or Galaxy s3 already...
