SGS2 or SE Arc or iPHONE 4?

[EarlZ]

Yes definitely mas better to. Pero boring ang UI after 4 years of use and 4 hardware refresh. Lol. Bisan tuod na konsomisyon ko aning Sensation lingaw man sab ko kuting2. Haha. Hapit naman sab ma release ang unlock sa bootloader, mailisan ra nya ni nako ang iyang rom og miui o cm7 hehe.

Same sentiments on the fruit phone, if you've used the first one theres nothing really new even on the 4th installment and probably even on the 5th. But its good of those who dont want to tinker.

Hinay ug development ang CM7 sa SGS2, but im not really a CM7fan, as based on the SGS1 they actually performed worse and still had a lot of things not working even after the device almost hit 1yr.
I think they develop better + faster on HTC phones kay mas dako ug benefit sa HTC due to the added bloat sa sense.

EDIT:

Nag sugod nasad sila sa nightly build for the SGS2, nothing works yet apart from the screen and GSM xD

Go for SGS2! It's not the world's best phone for nothing.

sgs2 the best for now,fast,bright,thin,and light.plus lower price on some other stores.

[bowee]

the ARC is a mediocre compared to the S2.. however..from point of base lang.. naka check ko sa akong kauban nga naa aning duha.. when he compared the point-and-shoot picture quality between the two smartphones.. I noticed nga mas natural looking pa pics sa ARC kay sa S2..

IMHO lang sad nuon...

If you're definition of entertainment is media playback, music, and web surfing, the the S2 is your best bet.

I got the S2 running on stock firmware - plays any video format i throw at it (oh yeah 1080P mkv); handles music well with several equalizers and 5.1 surround simulation; loads any website you go to, unlike the iphone that has no flash support.

Oh yeah, 8 mp camera with led flash, image stabilization, and 1080p video recording as well. All all of these things you'll be viewing on brilliant 4.3" Super AMOLED plus display.

+1 on the SGS2.. if you cant get the SGS2, I'd suggest getting the motorola Atrix. The atrix was the most powerful phone till the sgs2 beat it. iPhone 5 "might" be coming along september if rumor mills are to be trusted but kinda boring na ang fruity phone. Only the games are making me hold on to it due to my heavy investment in games on the fruityphone. When all the Big games will be ported to android, i wont look back on apple for some time.

I hope 4.0 will implement some sort of standard API for games, a lot of iOS games can run better on the Andriod.

Before deciding, know what type of a user are you and what are your specific needs on a phone and what things you would like to avoid.

I would personally recommend the Galaxy S2 its far better than the arc ang even significantly better than the iphone4, but it really boils down to what you do and need on the phone.

well said sir earl ...

+1 for SGS2 ... the bout is clear..

[marc lucas]

sgs2 hands down....
