So many I can count them on one hand! HTC peeps are usually the forum obsessed type anyhoo. I'm looking at you HTC peeps!

The new superamoled plus on the S2 is said to be more efficient than the original, which is more efficient than LCD. The Atrix has a bigger battery. My experience is that the screen is the ultimate killer of battery life, second only to the wireless radios. I don't think the CPU has that much of...

The Optimus 3D looks like an even better match against the S2 than the Optimus 2x. It also has a 4.3" screen, and 3D!!!!! The 2x has been supplanted at the top-end. But who knows when the 3D will be released. It kind of popped up out of nowhere at MWC.

The first froyo release for any android phone wasn't too far off from the release of the galaxy s phones. Ice cream is predicted to be in august-september. If the S2 gets released next month, optimistically, that would mean a good six months at least before even the Nexus S gets Ice Cream. I...

Nothing new here. People will interpret stuff wrongly to suit their own selfish realities. I'm not talking about Anand. That guy is great. An actual respectable tech site. Even Gizmodo likes to put up trash like their shoddy Nokia N8 speed comparison vids to drive up traffic. Well, actually it...

I know you can fool fingerprint scanners, although I don't really remember the method. Can you fool this as well? Tape a printed picture of the person who owns the phone on your face...

Someone really hates US carriers.

Weird applications? You are probably gonna root and install a custom rom over it anyway. And even if not, I don't know of any character specific applications that even impact the phone. The Touchwiz skin is on all versions regardless.

Yes. The video hands-on shows various hubs in the applicatio n screen, including a book one and game one, so they can highlight stuff and make you pay them money to get more stuff.

If you look at the 1080p sample at gsmarena, the S2 looks super sharp whereas the Optimus 2x was blurrier. That is another thing to consider, since Samsung is known for their imaging. The bigger and superior screen needs no introduction, and most 2x reviews have complained about LG's lackluster...

Subsidized US phones sold on eBay are way cheaper than an unlocked international one. For instance, the Vibrant was $400 or less whereas the Galaxy S was $600-700. Many people use their family plans to buy a subsidized phone and then sell it online for a profit. You can install a custom rom or...

If you are in need of a phone right now I wouldn't bother waiting and dealing with the constant tech cycle or the headaches of early releases. The phones already out right now will more than meet your needs and have most of the kinks already worked out so no surprises ahead. Any talk of 4G...

It's okay to express your opinion. I'm not attacking you either. It is just that I wanted to point out a contradiction in your original post because, like you said, you started talking about lag for some reason, and you can't have a real discussion without being reasonably critical. I also...

So it is a feeling and you can't really put your finger on it? The lagginess shouldn't be at all related to screen size, as a 2.8" will perform the same as a 5" as long as the resolution stays the same. The usability just by sheer size of surface area for touching and readability of a bigger...

The Dell Streak could be smaller since it has such a big bezel. The most obvious benefit of a bigger screen is more space to interact with or touch. My finger covers two letters at a time when I type on a narrow 3.3" screen and tapping links on websites will become a whole lot easier with a...
