Trying To Decide Between Iphone + Samsung Galaxy Note + Samsung Galaxy S II by Nobody: 1:43am On Sep 03, 2012
Not sure which one o.

I know that I've been an anti-iPhone for a while on NL, but I'm slowly giving in since 80-90% of my electronics are Apple products. It makes things easier with synchronization.

I am a lot worried about screen size tho, I love big screens.

Hey girl, didnt even see your comment smiley

Not really cheap if you sign a contract obligating to stay with them for 2-years. Without contract, those phones are like $500-$700 dollars.

BB did not even cross my mind. LOL I havent met anyone with a BB phone since Jan 2012 tongue

I believe that she was talking about the Galaxy note!!!

Am gonna be honest here,Your 3 choices are all good choices

and they meet very specific needs. Now i might as well just bite

the bullet and give you my choice but thats my choice. In order

who you to choose the best one for you, You need to outline your needs.

What would you like the phone to do for you?? etc

I am lucky to have 2 of choices (Galaxy note and the iphone 4s)

Heres what i think, The iphone 4 has very good battery life (I swear)

The galaxy note is massive and all but the battery life sucks big time.

On the plus side, the Note is very good for web browsing and youtube videos

never looked so good. I can go on and on but at the end, it is still your choice...

Oh, but the iPhone doesnt really have a big screen compared to Galaxy Note.

What i mean is that on the galaxy note, expect to see battery life of about erm

5hours tops without rigorously using it. However the iphone 4S can pull about 7hours depending

on usage...

In the end, I see you going for something like this


Iphone 4S White 64GB but hey am only guessing...
Re: Trying To Decide Between Iphone + Samsung Galaxy Note + Samsung Galaxy S II by chucky234(m): 8:09am On Sep 03, 2012
Iphone 4s all the way,though iphone 4 has a better battery life.
The GS3 and One X will also offer a great suffing experience with 4" plus screen.

Galaxy Note sexy? Wow what a description. LoL Quite a reason to buy a phone grin

Ok for me I'd still say go for the Note. When we talk functionality it's hard to beat a phablet (phone-tablet lol). Handwriting recognition, multi-tasking, easy song and video transfer either by wireless connection or a PC, etc

Go for the Note, I am gonna wait for the Note 2 myself.

moonraker: What i mean is that on the galaxy note, expect to see battery life of about erm

this i seriously doubt. are you speaking from experience or just an estimate based on nothing?


the Note is officially rated

Standard battery, Li-Ion 2500 mAh
Stand-by Up to 960 h (2G) / Up to 820 h (3G)

Talk time Up to 26 h 10 min (2G) / Up to 13 h 30 min (3G)


i think it would be a major use to drop that battery in 5 hrs, i seriously doubt she has that type of use in mind



whilst the Iphone 4S is rated

Standard battery, Li-Po 1432 mAh
Stand-by Up to 200 h (2G) / Up to 200 h (3G)
Talk time Up to 14 h (2G) / Up to 8 h (3G)
Music play Up to 40 h


I do concede that IOS does manage power much better than Android, but i doubt if its at the rate which you espouse.


But than, you have your Apple hat on, i have my android hat on

@ OP choose any. they are both good choices. its entirely up to u, what catches ur fancy. personally, if u like big screens like me, its a no-brainer wink wink

I have and use both devices. So it would be wrong to say that i have my apple hat on.

And yes, I wrote from experience.

You of all persons should know that What the manufacturers say is quiet different from

the real world test. They only give an estimate on how long a battery can survive under

very perfect conditions(Lab tests)...

I am not fan boy or something. I say things the way they are... Period

Re: Trying To Decide Between Iphone + Samsung Galaxy Note + Samsung Galaxy S II by lynxnoon(m): 3:14pm On Sep 03, 2012

Go for the note. My "boyfriend" has it and has been taking the piss with me comparing my blackberry to it. Lol!

It's awesome! I am planning on upgrading come october but the only downside is the size for me. I usually have my phone in my hands because I easily misplace it so having a huge phone in my hands isn't ideal Àt all.

Well the Note's size should keep you from forgetting it because your hands will notice there's no Note (pun intended ℓ☺ℓ).

For heavens sake if ur in the states get the galaxy nexus . It sames with the s2 @ 350usd on play no contracts no restrictions ... Pure andriod orgasms baby .... Yeah.
Re: Trying To Decide Between Iphone + Samsung Galaxy Note + Samsung Galaxy S II by Nobody: 4:42pm On Sep 03, 2012
Lord reed mentioned G N 2, why na? I'm not even done deciding and you got me in pieces.

I looked up the G N 2 release date and it's sometimes later this year, no specified date.

I'm worried that the G N 2 might come with unresolved, untested glitches since it's a new phone et al.

What do you guys think?

Wazzup with you two and blackberries? London thing tongue
