Galaxy SII or Iphone 5?

G37sHKS

Hello,

I'm about to purchase a new smartphone for my self i was wondering if you guys can advice me which one to get, the Galaxy S2 or wait for Iphone 5?

It really depends on where you are in media right now. If you use Itunes then go with the Iphone 5. If not, go with the galaxy.

P.S. The ATT thrill (really the LG Optimus 3D in disguise) is a better performing phone then either one of these.

No real info on the next iPhone so hard to compare it to current generation phones.
Honestly, if you need a phone, best bet is not to wait unless you know exactly what is coming in the next 3-5 weeks. After that release dates and phones will constantly be changing.

I dont use Itunes,

Just did a quick google about ATT thrill, I like the futures and the 3D options, but how about the software?

I never saw this LG smartphone, so just asking if the software is good as Galaxy s2/iphones..

Looks like the AT&T Thrill is running Android 2.2

True....2.2 at release....but..you can mod to CM7 and be on 2.3.4 very easily.

theDreamer

Yeah, but not everybody wants to root a phone to run the latest firmware or knows how.
Though with how companies are getting with bloatware on these phones it is almost required to do it and get a clean phone.

wait till later int he year. new phones are about to get released with newer hardware series and also be ready for the true att 4g network.

Iphone 4 is your best bet, the 5 won't be out for at least another six months IMO.

iPhone 5 in September, looks like. It will be a hot seller again, Apple reportedly has a production target of 25 million phones by the end of the year. No solid info about what features it might have over the iPhone 4. Rumor has it that it will be thinner and lighter, same A5 processor as the iPad 2, and a dual baseband chip (CDMA and GSM in the same phone).

You might at least want to review what iOS5 is going to bring to the table when it's released in the fall. That will run on an iPhone 4. Apple claims over 200 new features, quite an impressive revamp according to beta testers.

Anatoray

Don't be fooled though. To Apple, making the e-mail finally go horizontal when the phone is flipped is considered a feature.

MacCool

Right. I'm sure if Apple was more on the ball, the iPhone would be a successful product.

Blue370tt

As someone who lives and breathes the specs on these phones DAILY....its very unlikely the Iphone5 will be any more "advanced" then the ATT tilt.

Also, if you mod your car, you should be able to mod your phone. Its not hard.

And lastly, why would someone in this thread recommend buying the Iphone4? Its not like buying an older 370z.....its not any cheaper. In fact, Apple always holds pricing UNTIL AFTER the release of the new item.

I am not an Iphone guy BUT the 5 will be out in September. I would go android because I like it better. No major changes coming to Android/hardware until quad cores and icecream in 2012.

P.S. Anything new from ATT will be using ATT 4g as well.

Anatoray

You misunderstand me completely. I'm just saying they consider absolutely everything as a feature.

MacCool

No, I understood you perfectly. It just didn't make sense.

If that indeed is Apple's general marketing concept, it's certain that the rest of the industry will soon copy them. Again.
