Does anyone have a Samsung phone? How do you find it? Which model is the best value and do you find them user friendly? In short, are they any good? I dislike a product lacking competition - eg microsoft, iPhones, Tesco mozzarella etc. - and would love to give Samsung some Apple business if I could. Thanks for any info.

I got the S2 and love it, seemed a lot more user friendly than the Iphones that colleagues had and few of them have come over too. My boyfriend has the S3 now but to my mind it doesn't seem to offer anything that my S2 doesn't have.

The clincher for me when I was upgrading was that Iphones had more expensive deals because the phones were so desirable, with the samsung you could still access cheap priceplans.

Many thanks. I got a v cheap plan from iPhone as I was quoted it in error and they had to stick to it. Or so they said - maybe they tell everyone that to make people think it is a fab deal. When I renew though it will be painful hence the looking around. How do your colleagues find it? Unfortunately apple is quite good at what it does and I am not yet convinced Samsung is quite there yet.

Apple has a better eco system but no longer a top dog in handsets. Expect Android handsets to take a stride in performance over Apple in the near future. Sadly, people are bamboozled by marketing and this is reflected in Apple's sales figures and market share.

I have a galaxy S2 and Galaxy mini - much prefer the latter as the touch screen is more responsive and the layout it very slightly easier to navigate (believe it or not!).

I'm a Samsung fan, have tried other fones over the course of time but always come back to Samsung. I kinda see Samsung as Nokia when they were good. Many will disagree on that one but tis my own opinion :D

Best value for money at the moment is Samsung Galaxy SII. Once you done with it, you can upgrade to S3 or better ones, as not many good apps are there to benefit from quad core processing power.


Also I prefer the design of SII compare to S3 or HTC one X


Still if you need to keep up-to-date with Android, embrace the Google Nexus products

Fully agree on quad cores. The Samsung SIII has a Japanese version featuring a duo core and more RAM. I'd certainly choose the Japanese version over the UK model. But I also like the fact that the SIII has Gorilla glass 2 and Bluetooth 4 which is excellent for power management.


eta: This is mainly for the don't know betters who indulges in playground logic. Reason for choosing a dual core is better power management. Software also runs better on more RAM.

    • London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom. 
    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
    • Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
