since it is not release, it is dumb to think that it won't work.

but based on apple's track record, many people are confident apple will weave the magic again.

Similan, you better be gone now. You're not even SGSII user. And we dont need you comparing every thing about iPhone and Android in this thread

stay calm.

evrybody knows SIRI is an app but like all things before, but once apple wave their magic wand, it will improve in quantum leap and change the world again.

but let's talk abt sgs2 instead.

with both Papago and Sygic ..Which one you guys think the GPS lock more faster ?

I found Sygic is more faster to get lock on the other hand Papago take longer time to lock.

Map wise..Papago is more updated cos it can be update time to time via malfreemaps

actually i also put the iphone (i have an ihone 4) and sgs2 through some stress test, and while yes it is made of plastic to reduce weight and make it thinner (which is their selling point, we dont have the tech to make lightweight metal cases yet), the sgs2 can actually take a fall much better than the iphone 4. my iphone 4 after dropping the front glass part (the iphone is made of 3 parts, front mid and back) actually disconnected from the middle. and i couldnt put it back without voiding warranty (and i claimed warranty successful, but to my distress they didnt open my iphone 4 and put it back properly, which would be super easy, but took away my set and gave me a new "recon" set. no box nothing. just the handset). The sgs2 meanwhile, despite its flimsy appearance, actually had zero damage, largely due to the lightweight so there was little impulse force on the phone. Also, because of its cheap plastic exterior it would relatively cheap to replace any damaged parts compared to the iphone. i got a quote to fix the famouse button problem of iphone 4 from crxr (a reknown iphone repair guy in the forum) for 120 bucks!

ANYWAY, the point is despite its cheap plastic feel (and the back cover IS cheap plastic), because it IS plastic and because it IS light, it is actually quite durable.

anyway, lets keep on topic and this is a discussion on GALAXY S 2 not iphone please.

stay calm.

ur test can only be used as a case study and no conclusion can be made.

ur angle of drop may be different and there may be other factors;
nevertheless, agree with you. let's focus on sgs2 in this thread.

Which do you guys think is the best? Currently using PAPAGO and they left a lot to be desired.

What change? That operate-via-voice thingy had been around for a while nao.

the best? go for Google Maps Navigation, their maps is top ^^V

agree that navigation of Google Maps is good...but the only down side is it requires data connection at all time...I got lost once due to a sudden data connection drop  I've also tried Papago...quite disappointing with it as it don't seems to take common route (result in longer travel time) to my destinations...now I'm considering Sygic...but not sure it well worth the money or not... 

i believe papago has an option, or preference, prefer highway to travelling through towns, always choose shortest route, avoid traffic lights, etc. all gps apps should have that

I tried both papago and sygic.

sygic's maps are based off google map's base map. Its not TOO bad, ive travelled to penang, langkawi, KL and seremban with it, maybe for some guarded community it does not have the roads, but that was the worst.

papago has better maps due to community support by malfreemaps.

however papago's UI looks pretty cheap and downright ugly.

since i'm an aesthetics person and sygic does the job (may not be as comprehensive but i get to my destination) i decide to stick with sygic

Use fast fix..

enough all. Get back on topic.

i had a chance to borrow the SGS2 for 2 days from a close friend to do a test with my iphone 4. i like the sgs2. i really do. but what i was REALLY hoping for was superb camera quality of the sgs2 which video reviews were showing. it is a good camera yes. especially against the stock iphone 4 cam. but once i use a third party cam, i couldnt really differentiate the two pictures between sgs2 and iphone 4 cam. when i zoomed in i got the same quality.

i love the UI tho, and the fact that i can drag drop widgets at will and i love the PULSE and AP MOBILE stuff.

which is why i didnt get the sgs2. im hoping the prime can blow me away ^.^ for now i get my android kicks with my tab 10.1

i see why android is famous, its like all the old windows mobile fans migrated to android after the windows phone debacle. dont talk about the dev but about the community, id say the android community is a direct descendant/legacy of windows mobile. lol flashing my android brought back so much memories

Google Map Labs, cache the map la, its very simple, 4 boxes and i cached the whole Kuala Lumpur, port klang, up to batu caves, 1 box and i cahced whole seremban, and i think1 box is enuff to cache whole penang also, then i just have to use like normal~
