Crap Dilemma

[ratty]

Slightly ashamed to write this post, but I am in a crap dilemma as to whether to get an iPhone 4s or a Samsung Galaxy S2 (or another Android phone). I have an iPad so I am not too fussed about apps. What do people recommend?

I do need to be able to set my work email up on it, which I know I can with a iPhone, I would also like Maps / GPS etc. A good camera is a must as is a front facing camera for Skype. Not much else I can really think of.

Any advice gratefully received.

Have a bath

Both phones do all that your looking for......

Play with both and see which you prefer, Samsung has a brighter screen I'm told. Mail system arguably better on iPhone.

Potential downside to iPhone is you have to have iTunes set up on it.

You will get a better deal on the Samsung!

Get an I-phone

They irritate others way more just by their very presence.

Who actually cares what they do well/crap & do we ever out perform them.

Ever see a dirty/muddy range rover in London ?

No, not often.

NETTE:-S

Q. How can you tell someone has an iPhone?

A. They tell you every bloody 10 minutes.

Android debuts Ice Cream Sandwich

The new Android OS, called the Ice Cream Sandwich, is meant to be a very slick interface that makes the iphone software looks dated. The new Galaxy Nexus uses this new OS and should meet Ratty's needs. Apparently the phone uses facial recognition as a method to lock/unlock the handset and also very capable on the emails.

But if you want to be don't know any better cool then go for the Iphone. It may not be the best phone on the market but with its price tag of ?700 you can show the world that you have more money than sense. Anyone for the Lighthouse Family... :-S

Time to turn on the Bore-o-Meter.

"Hello"

"Hello, you rang me"

"Yes, on a telephone"

"OK,good-bye"

That would be Steve Job's the Buddhist who refused to get involved with the Bill Gates's Foundation to eliminate the diseases of poverty - priorities - he's probably having to explain this conumdrum to the non existent Lord Buddha as we speak.

[Salsaboy]

He didn't manage to do it though.

[gabrielnagy]

This quite a dilemma...I would like to have everyday this kind of dilemmas...

[maxxi]

Is there a point when this kind of thing is actually damaging to the good carpet cleaners of Hertfordshire?

Please buy an Iphone for ?700 and with its ?500 profit margin helps Apple with their worthy cause. :-S

A Buddhist would expect reincarnation as a life form appropriate to the level of karma earned during one's previous incarnation.

He'll be back - hopefully, not as an android.

[TillieTrotter]

A Buddhist asks the hot dog vendor "Can you make me one with everything" Boom Boom!

Update. Got a Galaxy S2 today (well pick it up tomorrow). Deal was much better than with iPhone - and I got ?80 cash back for a 7 year old phone and a ?10 reduction in my monthly tarif!

Happy Days!

[steveo]

Thank god, I've been so concerned

[the-e-dealer]

yes but the iphone 99 and galaxyy 3 are out in 6 months so we can look forward to another tense nail biting episod of crap dilemmas

[Undisputedtruth]

Good call, excuse the pun, Ratty.

Best of all it's strongly rumoured the Galaxy handset will get the Ice Cream Sandwich update in January.

[ruffers]

Galaxy Nexus aka Nexus Prime for nice clean immediate Android updates without manufacturers and operators messing it around. It's what I'd get now, I got a Nexus S at the start of the year.
