Going from iPhone 4 to Galaxy S2...many questions

You guys are all basically agreeing .


iPhones are great phones, I had a 3GS. Then I bought a Captivate. Now I'm going for the GS2. The iPhone 4 and 5 are great phones, no doubt about that. They just can't keep up anymore. The hardware is evolving too quickly for an annual release. Plus, Apple's not one to implement the latest technologies. They play it safe and wait a bit.

IMO, it'll still sell more than any other phone- Because it's an iPhone.

I've been wondering a bit on this. How exactly can AT&T even tell that you're tethering? I have an iphone 4 currently and have tethered a few times just for a couple of minutes and such. I've yet to get any emails or texts, so I guess that is good.

But how exactly do they know? I remember reading one article where they mentioned they can see another MAC address connected to the phone, but how would any logs show this? Surely enough i would imagine that all MAC addresses could be cloned no?

no, your MAC address is a unique identifier assigned to your NIC. Don't think you can clone that. Yes, they see your MAC address

I'm in the UK and have had my galaxy S2 for about 3 months now. Always does everything perfectly. Tethering is great but kills the battery charge in just a few hours if left on.

For iTunes, just download doubletwist for your mac...
doubleTwist - Desktop Client

And airsync (add on for doubletwist) will allow you to sync your iTunes library wirelessly with your gs2

The iPhone has become a "mass consumer product" and it seems Apple is afraid to make major changes (software) in order to keep soccer moms happy so they know how to use the device. They want those people to be able to pick up the device and use it with no issues. It is pretty sad to see it go that way. I do own an iPhone 4 but I use my Android device much more these days. That being said, the GS 2 is a great device and will hold it's own very well in the market.
