cmon be fair. You were claiming the issues with your defective phone were present on all S2s and we were deluded in not seeing it. Again. and again. And again.

In fairness you werent. A lot of the alleged faults you had with several different S2's no one could ever replicate nor had ever seen.

Like the iplayer for instance. Ive still never been able to replicate what you were talking about and neither has anyone else. Thats nothing to do with being a fanboy.

The thing about iOS devices is they are boring as hell to look at now. Nothing has changed in years especially the OS. Ive had to jailbreak the hell out of my 4S to make it look semi decent.

Lets see what 5.1 looks like and that will determine whether i stay with this boring phone or not...”


What a load of rubbish, It is a high end phone and is in no way mediocre.

And i would must rather have a Iphone than some cheap flimsy Samsung. I was going to get a S2 till i felt in my hand and it just felt cheap!!


But i agree that the Iphone does need a new look as its a pretty dull concept now. It needs jazzing up as every version looks pretty much the same.

CNET mocking the comparison of "more pixels than a TV". Rightly so!

It feels light and in no way cheap at all. Granted it uses plastic but its a high grade which will take a hell of a lot of force to break. The back over feels flimsy right enough but i dare you to try and break one! You can bend it from end to end and it wont snap. The display is also miles better on the S2. I still cant believe how horrid colours are on the iphone!

Indeed. I got bored of my 4S after about 3 days. I never got bored of my S2.

Anyway, new ipad comes with Retina display.

264 pixels per inch. Ok to call it "Retina" as it's held futher away from your eyes than iphone. Gotta admire that spin!

5 megapixel camera. Ugh. More people taking photos on tablets in public when they have a better camera on their phone.

Well I'm not a fan, so it would take a lot for me to be excited. But yeah, no real surprises or excitement from my POV.

Quite right, its all about choice is it not? I drive a Discovery from choice (also have an ex German army G Wagon which is a restoration project in hand and a Land Rover Lightweight) as for me its a little less understated than a Range Rover. Same with my S2, its the top smartphone for now, a little different from the iPhone...sad to say that even at my age image still counts and I don't like the 'sheeple' label that is so often attached to Apple users rightly or wrongly That said I'm in no way loyal, I'm moving to a W8 phone as soon as the right one is available and will do the same with a W8 tablet.

Your right about Audi V beemers, I had an Audi 100 from new and its without doubt the most reliable vehicle I ever owned. Ran it for five years and all I did was have it serviced...nothing went wrong with it.

4G LTE built in. still no word on an official name. Seems to be referred to as "the new ipad" thoroughout.

I'm not saying I do, but the link you provided isn't to sales figures. It uses sales and searches with no explanation of how much weighting each item is given.

Why have you not sold the phone on and bought another android phone if it bores you that much? Must be very painful for you.

A little yes, though the screen sounds good. Would be nice to read my books on and browse.

Same battery life as old model. CNET getting excited about 8hours life on 4g. Same price as old model (in US).
