ratty Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 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. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/20150-crap-dilemma/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClareC Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 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!

Undisputedtruth Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Android debuts Ice Cream SandwichThe 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 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/20150-crap-dilemma/#findComment-493238 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruffers Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 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.
