    Who's paying full price?

    You need to define "value". For some of us iPhone 4S has no value whatsoever ;)

    To finally put an end to the complaints about the 5MP camera

    iPhone 4S' picture looks a little better in my opinion (and I am not a fan of Apple) because of higher resolution. One can clearly see the benefits of higher resolution by comparing the balcony grills. But that's expected. For this kind of picture (i.e. nice lighting, static) higher resolution...

    SG2 to 4S and now back to SG2

    And it is expected that Google will open it's own music store in a few weeks. This might replace iTunes for you.

    OMAP 4460 vs A5...

    How exactly Apple cab be first with 28nm chips when they don't have their own FABs. Samsung manufactures chips for them. Don'y you think Samsung will make sure they got theirs first?

    went from Galaxy S II to iPhone 4S

    Another comparison between the two phones: SquareTrade performed three drop tests on each phone (dropping the phones on the concrete). iPhone 4S broke all three times. SGSII did not break once. Video: iPhone 4S vs. Samsung Galaxy S II Drop Test - YouTube

    went from Galaxy S II to iPhone 4S

    Actually, it's just an Apple hype. Cameras in all top-line smartphones today use back-illuminated sensors which improve low light performance. PC World just published the results of he testing comparing the best camera phones. In their tests, SGSII got better scores than iPhone 4S. Link...

    went from Galaxy S II to iPhone 4S

    I got SGS2 on the day it was released on AT&T and have not had a single reboot. Admittedly, I do not use MMS. However, your opinion about iOS seems a little bit overly positive. Just check Macrumors forums. Many people complain about Safari force closing all the time (in iOS 5). It happens with...

    HPSA+ vs. iPhone 4S in San Francisco

    While SGS2 does support faster download speeds it's mostly irrelevant since AT&T hardware in US does not support anything close to 14Mbps. If i did SGS2 would have the advantage. As far as your specific tests are concerned - it's hard to say. Try different speed test apps or simply downloading...

    went from Galaxy S II to iPhone 4S

    This is nothing compared to what many iPhone 4S users are experiencing. Check this message thread titles "Batterygate" on Macrumors: Batterygate?? - MacRumors Forums

    went from Galaxy S II to iPhone 4S

    iPhone 4S looks like a decent phone but it has very little on SGSII. There are two very good videos on youtube comparing the two phones shot y a guy who knows both platforms pretty well. I highly recommend those for everyone interested (no those are not my videos ;)). Samsung Galaxy S II vs...

    Does your S II get hot?

    Mine gets warm too. I believe it's expected.

    No bulk email delete options?

    I do not use E-mail application. I have gmail and hotmail accounts and both services have specialized applications. However, Android User's Guide does say that it is possible to do batch processing of e-mails in E-mail client: You can delete, star, or mark unread a batch of messages at once. 1...

    Power save mode, doesn't turn off when unit is charged up?

    As I understand, when power save mode is enabled (by user) the phone displays the icon in the status (notification) bar and a message in the notification list. It does not mean that the mode is actually activated. I believe when the battery charge drops below the threshold level, the phone...

    GSII wifi signal strength

    It's just the way SGSII shows the signal. There is no problems there. Here is a quote from Anandtech.com review: There?s something deceptive about this however, and it?s that although Samsung has chosen to go the usual compressed-dynamic-range route with cellular bars, the WLAN bars seem to be...
