Had enough of the HD2 now, and after playing with iPhones recently I have reaslised I made the wrong choice. The UI is just so much more intuitive, ok I have to wait till July for OS 4.0 for multi-tasking but who cares
bye!
and whats the reason for this information?
Good luck lapping at Steve's heels. You are correct in that the iphone OS is more immediately user friendly but the HD2 & winmo offer much more that iphone OS can. Good luck with that, oh and it still wont be true multi-tasking

This.
I made the exact OPPOSITE move.
I've owned the 3GS ever since it came out and for the past few months before I sold it it bored me to death. There's very little I can do with it, and once I realized I don't really play mobile games, the decision to sell it became very easy. I like my HD2 a lot more -- more customizable, and more powerful. Plus the small screen of the iPhone (resolution-wise) was grating.
great news for somebody who wants a second hand leo, not everybody affords a new one
godspeed and be happy man
I think we should start a thread 'Show your iPhone today screens here' and see how many posts there will be

I'm not saying I have proof. Thats exactly it, it just feels better for some reason. The texting, the scrolling, the fact that there is no ghastly looking WinMo hiding underneath.
Ah man... just joining the rest of the sheep. There are too many identical Iphone users about! BE INDIVIDUAL!
People who don't want to invest time in a more versatile phone should buy an iPhone, but they will get less for more. And don't expect the iPhone to be perfect, because it's not, it's that's what Apple's marketing machine will try to tell you, but don't count on it to work flawless.

Yeah well I had the iPhones before and I would never change my HD2 for them!
Youre making a 2008 expired move but good luck on that!
And get ur credit card ready to pass through the App Store because apart from that, there's nothing attractive about the apple anymore....
If you would like to donate to starving tech hungry kids, please send unwanted HD2's . . . to me, I'll be sure they get them >.>
wow you have bought a phone without features that my Sony Ericsson p800 could do before the Iphone was even thought of LMAO

aww... we have a apple fanboy who is just desperate for attention..... the only iPhone that stands a competitive chance of usability... is the iPhone 4g... and even then... a lot of those features haven't been confirmed... but hey.. to each his own eh? have fun with a locked down device... leave the hd2 to the people who can handle it...
I feel for you, and I am comming to the rescue
Man this is by far the most exciting message I've ever read on this board. You so right, get rid of that sh*ty no good for anything.
Actually, I feel so strongly about your misery that I feel compelled to help you out. I will make you this irresistible offer of US$100 to get it off your hands, fast!!
Hey, don't thank me, just want to put in my 2 cents and help out a member in distress.

I am in debate between these two phones. No Desire, for it looks effing ugly.
Why do you guys like the Xperia, are there any complaints?
OH.
How much did you pay to get your Xperia!?
I found a deal for $490 for the Xperia X10!
Any good place where I can find it cheaper?

anyway, to the point you were asking, legend vs x10 is no contest, it would make more sense of you are choosing between x10 and desire, I would always take x10 over legend
x10 for sure
X10 huh... Why... it's running older software?

All true. But rumor has it you prefer the HD2 over the X10, why?
Hi - I have the X10.. my wife has the Legend.. Her phone is the best for her.. mine is the best for me...
You need to think about what you want the phone to do for you..
Right now the only real issue with the x10 is the battery life, but most, including me, have found ways to manage that so that you can comfortably get a day out of it.
The other "issue" with the X10 is SE's lack of respect for it's customers where we ask questions and they either ignore it, or give you a useless answer...
Finally.. the showcase apps of Timescape and Mediascape are quite immature and need a lot of further development.
Other than that it's a great phone, and I love it.. I wouldn't trade it for my wife's Legend (which is also a very good looking bit of kit..) ....
At the end of the day it will come down to how you feel about the 2 options, based on what you want to do with it.

Good day all,
I've had my Galaxy S II for about 2 months now and I love how it works.
But still, it seems that my hands are a bit too small to type good with just 1 hand..
Therefore I was thinking of getting it replaced with an iPhone 4.
Now I was wondering if you guys think I would regret it?
The thing I'm most worried about is the speed of the web browsing. Is it really that slow on the iPhone that I will have to wait much longer than on Galaxy S II?
Also, does anyone know if I can get text reflow on iPhone when I jailbreak it?
Thank you very much already for any answers.
Kind regards,
Hybbie

If you really wont to switch to iOS i'd wait till the iPh*** 5/4s comes out, rather than buying the old model...
EDIT: in terms of web-browsing, it isn't that much slower! (if you can live w/o flash...) iOS runs DAMN fast, even on bad hardware! (i compared my lovely SGS 2 to a friends iP4...)
Try Swype and you will forget about iPhones all together....
Yeah, I think you should switch.
To be honest only you can answer this. I personally would regret it. But that's because I've owned 3 android phones. I had the zte blade first,then the awful wildfire,and now this! Certainly my best phone. When i look at an iphone i think yeah it does some good stuff but is so bland.
No widgets and your rammed with apple stuff and forced to do things the apple way if your not willing to jail break the device.
Android devices are customizable out of the box and allow you to play about with how it looks straight away.
Like i said its solely down to you we are all going to favour each device in some way and the majority likely to follow the good ol S2! Anyway regarding the size surely its of a similar height/width?!?

Why would you ever switch from the Blade to the Wildfire? That's a straight downgrade.
iOS is great if you're fine with having only icons on your screen... iPhone 4 still wins display clarity IMO... but GS2 has richer colours.
browsing isn't that bad on iPhone but it is noticeably faster on GS2... antenna is better.
I agree... wait for iPhone 5\4Gs whatever they call it.
Apple products are all overpriced pieces of Sh*t. Don't bother with it.
You will lose a lot of normal functions (Bluetooth as an example. Has to go trough Itunes or something like that -.-'')
Just get a keyboard that suits you better. Swype should be included.
As a person that sells phone here's my thoughts... iPhone stunning design and well easy to use. But this is where it ends as HTC etc have android now its easy to use but look at the way it does things... syncing android is instant with Gmail, plug it into pc it turns into a external hard drive/memory card drag and drop any file you want to it from any pc of Mac.
Bluetooth isn't just for audio.
You can customize it all day and all night uses a micro USB cable everywhere has one. Memory cards not built in memory. Give you a idea in the shop where I work we sell around 55 contracts a week and since the first week of Jan we have only sold 4 iphones. That is a very low number as of android handsets we have done say 75% of all contract sold

Drowned my blade in coca cola...
It was a sad day! Insurance couldn't give me a new blade and i unfortunately chose a wildfire all the while wishing i had tried my luck for a desire!
Thank you all for your answers.
I think I'm at least going to wait until the new iphone comes out then.
After that, I'll have to see like everyone else hours it stands against GSII.
Thanks again!

I agree with everything above. Again, it boils down to what is important for you. I also thought about iPhone 4, but SGS II prevailed big time, due to things I do with it. You can copy music, videos, pictures any time, hassle free. Really. I never really felt comfortable working with iTunes, never knew what stuff would be deleted. Big argument for me also was the ability to copy and play divx files without needing to convert. I watch loads of movies; just copy to phone and you're good to go. It's a cheesy line really, but think what you plan to do with it.
I went with SGS II and do not regret.
Try swype

There's a swype version on cydia btw and it looks to be working well judging by the youtube video
If you dont mind the boring walls of icons then youll be fine with the iPhone 4 which has better battery life and gps and the apps to boot.
You'll be missing things like the filesystem and the tweaking on the SGS2 though
Don't forget the loss of flash and better media playback.
I remember the day I got my Xperia Play months back and thinking how many bugs and issues it had, it was a great device let down by buggy SE software.
Fast forward a few months to the latest SE update and the change is like night and day, it really is like using a new device!, fast, snappy, more features, fast booting, I really am happy with the support SE has been putting into the Play post launch.
Add to this the recent surge in Android Development here at XDA with CM7, DoomKernal, PSXperia, Overclocking, Recovery, Bootloader unlocking etc and it really is looking good for us Play owners!
And the games/Development support?
Since E3 and Gamesconn the Play has been going from strength to strength, lots of great new games from major developers such as Minecraft, Dead Space, Reckless Getaway, Need For Speed, Fifa and lots more still planned.
A few months ago the future wasn't looking that good for the Play, this has all changed thanks to the continued SE support, development support and the modding/hacking scene on XDA! I was very close to selling my device but now I honestly feel like this is the best phone out there specially for gaming, I will be keeping it well into next year now!
Everyone deserves a pat on the back for making the Play a success against all odds! lets make a toast!
What do you think?
I was skeptical about SE's ability to properly support their handsets due to the bad stories from 2010 but it really seems that they want to change their behavior now in 2011.
I bought my Xperia Play yesterday, being confident after seeing the same improvements that you mentioned.
I never lost faith in the device
onward and upwards
patience is virtue... And so on....

Given the terrible records of Sony's support (e-readers in particular, PSN scandal, and so on) I'm surprised about the good job they're doing with the Play. And yes, Sony Ericsson is a division of Sony, so I consider them one and the same.
Its a good device.But for that kind of price i did expect a FEW better feautures (5MP HD atleast...or a HDMI port for all carriers)BUt its ok..i guess i'll without since the only thing i need is PSOne GAMES on a PORTABLE DEVICE DD
Which carriers have the HDMI out on Xperia Play...
Also USA totally got the best deal of the lot... Isn't it like $100 or $200 dollars on Verizon where is here in AU/NZ it is around 8 - 900 US.
I suppose we get the added bonus of:
-great customer service
-not being locked to any network
-not being on CDMA
-Updates on time
-Not having a branded phone
-Sony Ericsson actually answers our questions.
And I got my Xperia Play for free... So no complaints.

Its $99 with a 2 year contract on Verizon. Theres a couple little caveats one being that its still running 2.3.2 and Verizon is slow as crap to update. The other is they totally stripped the phone of SE's UI features and broke the facebook connectivity as well (remedied by downloading Fsync from Watto). So a lot of the cool stuff that it does besides gaming doesn't work and won't be available on Verizon unless you root it.
That said all the gaming features are there, and the games play perfect, so in the end its good enough and totally worth the price. The one thing about Verizon as well is it is by far the most reliable cell service in the US, so for the most basic feature that is most important, it always works.

I don't know about the US getting the best deal in my opinion, over here in the uk recent price drops let me pick up a xplay sim free for £260 from Expansys, personally I am willing to pay a bit more for being carrier free (plus at the moment no carrier over here are offering good contracts with the phone, ie. it actually works out cheaper to buy a sim free xplay and a sim only contract.).

I really like how the Verizon Play shipped without most of SE's UI. IMHO I think it makes it run faster and comes with less bloat than normal.
Now that we have root I have removed or frozen almost all of my unwanted processes and apps, leaving me with a close to vanilla version of Android with Xplay Launcher and store support.
If we are able to get a kernel to O/C CDMA stock, I would consider this the best "rom" out there for the Play

I agree; development on the Xperia Play is picking up, I didn't expect this phone to receive a lot of community/hacking attention because I thought it was supposed to target a very specific group of people, turns out I was wrong.
In Singapore now you can get the phone for free with a 2 year S$36 plan. That includes 12GB of data (never will you finish using). I bought it for $238 with plan 2 months ago *cries*

It probably does run faster but from what I hear the SE UI stuff actually doesn't sound bad. Plus theres new updates like xLoud and DLNA connectivity that we probably won't get. Just bothers me that I don't have a choice on it, if I didn't want choice I'd buy an iPhone .
I totally agree. When I first got the phone, just getting root access was a huge deal. Just a couple months later I have full fledged bootloader unlock, custom kernel, latest SE firmware and the choice of putting Cyanogenmod on there.
If Blagus manages to get sense working I'll pee myself
Definitely a great phone!

I paid 100 CAD for it with a contract. Rogers had it for $50 recently with a three year term. Best phone I've ever had, with the exception of my ultra reliable Nokia 6126. That phone was the bomb when it was still new.
Things just keep improving with the play. Very large contrast compared to my last SE phone years ago, which was a total piece of garbage and wouldn't even make calls properly brand new (I went through 3 replacements)

Don't be a pratt,
How is one of the most successful CEO's of recent times going to be forgotton even when he has gone? he will be remembered for many good things.
This isn't about android vs ios, put that to one side for a moment.
Hate him or love him he changed the whole mobile device market for the better, without ios/iphone there would not have been the huge shift in design and competition of smartphones, before the iphone the smartphone wasn't doing well, without ios/iphone there would be no android, no ios, no windows mobile 7, instead we would still be using our basic nokias and moto's!
You think back to 2007 before the iphone announcement, the range of "smartphones" out was a joke, I had a Nokia N95 which was considered one of the best and compared to todays devices it is a very basic smartphone.
Now think forward to six months after the release of the iphone, EVERY smartphone company totally shifted design to try and compete with the iphone, this is how it all started for the better, now look at today, we have amazing devices with a huge choice, Android devices are so smart and advanced, it's amazing to think about how those 4 years have made todays devices possible!
The same is happening with tablets.
But yeah, I have been following his condition on Neogaf and it seems like it could be anyday now

I like how you totally went off on a tangent instead of sticking to the original topic.

Dont forget he also invented the human centi-pad
Steve Jobs won't give you the time of day if you ask him. Why are people mourning him 1) before he's dead and 2) as though he was Mother Theresa?
Yesterday, after using Z1 for almost 8 months, I jumped the ship and bought a Blackberry Z30!!. Yes it is a BB!!. I'm loving it so far.
Not that I didn't like my Z1 - i really liked the build quality of z1 and the sony UI. I just got bored of android in general and been reading a lot about the new Blackberry. The BB 10 is really good on Z30 and its so easy to use - with the new BB 10 OS, I can load all the android apps also - so i've pretty much all my favarouite apps on the new Z30 and loving it!!. The big noticeable difference is the poor camera quality - i dont think any phone comes close to Xperia when it comes to the camera. But other than that, I'm liking everything on the BB so far!!
Just thought I'd put this on..let me know if anyone has done something similar..

Just tell us do you will be so excited after a couple of weeks... In my case if I would switch to another OS from Android, then I think it would be Sailfish OS or Ubuntu touch. The Z30 doesn´t even have an open source OS I think, so it is very factory limited, doesn´t it ?
Why downgrade? Lol

Why are you loving it? you haven't actually said anything... you say you got bored of Android, but then say you can install all Android apps... And that the camera is ****... so what is the benefit of having a blackberry? What's so nice about it? Z30 doesn't even have a physical keyboard right? I just don't see the point.
Woah... BB! Welcome to 2010!
All the people who using Blackberry I cannot understand them. It's something out of understanding and I think is a kind of mental problem where you have deeply search for the answer, why?
As long as you're happy, i tried the z10 for a while, it was awful
If i were to switch to a different OS blackberry would be last on the list(unless it changes for the better)
Ubuntu seems tempting, otherwise iOS or WP
But im pretty happy with android right now and i can't imagine switching to a BB from my Z1 unless my Z1 broke and i magically receive a BB for free and even then i would switch as soon as i can

Well, mate, if it makes you happy that's all it matters, right? If it'd be me, no, I wouldn't do such a switch, most probably I'd try iOS, ONLY IF Apple decides to come out with phones in range of 4.7 - 5.2", but most probably, I'd give a shot to WP in the works by Sony, according to rumors. I really wouldn't go as far as @eclyptos and call it a "mental problem", I think it's a bit... harsh and unfair to call it that, it's just your choice, and if you're happy with it, fine, if not, you'll decide what to do.
Good luck!

Duly noted, mate
Good for you. Personally I wouldn't even think of using blackberry now, especially since the company could go down under any time, but if it works for you that's great! Whose to tell you what to like and not like

Ok. Here are the reasons why i love the BB Z30
The BB 10 OS is damn smooth and I can be so productive with the BB HUB - everything is in one place..all my emails, chats and Whatsapp messages. I'm pretty much on it all the time without having to switch between apps. Its probably not for everyone. But for me its so convenient.
Multitasking is so much better on BB 10. With the active frames, getting to what i want is so much smoother and quicker.
The keyboard - there is no comparison between the BB keyboard and anything else out there in my opinion. Its so intuitive and within a day, it has learnt everything about my typing style. so getting this done on emails and chat is so much quicker for me now.
The BB email app is so much better - i can search all my gmails and quickly look for emails that are from 2009 within seconds!! Cloudmagic on android is similar - but it stores every email on their server which i don't like.
In general, the Z30 is so much faster when it comes to browsing or even looking for apps within the phone. Everything is so much smoother and pleasant to use.
I know everyone here thinks going to BB is a step backwards. But with the new BB10 and Z30, I think they've taken a step forward for sure..
Bash me all you like - for the time being, I'll stick with the Z30..

Nobody is going to bash you for having your own taste and opinion, we all use what's more convenient for us, if you like BB os better than android then so be it

I work for the heath unit in I.T and we have a lot of blackberries, ranging from all the new blackberries. The q10 has been great as with z30 the z10 has had some problems. A lot of people are used to blackberries although we do have a lot of iphones and androids. BB10 is one smooth operating system. I have used QNX for other applications in the past and it is fast. Blackberry did a lot right with BB10 for sure. The browser is lighting fast as well. Email's is what they do best and it's still probably the best with exchange although we did have a few issues at first. Sideloading apps we do not allow for obvious reasons but for personal use it a great option to have since they are lacking in some core apps.
Compared to android you can tell it's been optimized and just runs better than android and that's coming from an android user since the galaxy S. Blackberry has a bad stigma around it but it doesn't mean it not great
"jumped the ship" lol, sure you didnt jump off the ship and into the Canoe?
Curious as to why people start these threads about other devices, what is the actual point, do you work for Blackberry or are you looking for trolls?
He got bored of android so he downgraded to a slower phone, which happens to be blackberry and loaded android apps on it...
Lol
?
@vhl71 - Good for you! Enjoy BB10, it is an elegant and efficient OS (I enjoy my Z10 very much). I am not a fanboy of any platform - but rather a fanboy or Tech and Gadgets in general.
Currently in my arsenal:
~ HTC One (M8) (sold Nexus 5 for this)
~ Galaxy Note 3
~ iPhone 5S
~ Nokia Lumia 1020
~ BB Z10 (Z30 has been on my mind)
~ MS Surface 2
~ iPad Mini
~ Nexus 7
~ Mac Mini & a Custom built Win 8 PC
They all have their Pros and Cons - but ain't choice a great thing? I agree with @bodson66 BB has a bad stigma and I hope they can turn things around. Platform choice and competition are good for innovation which is great for ALL OF US!

Indeed, choice is beneficial. OTOH, people make different choices.
There is an interesting thread on crackberry.com forum about this thread. Cannot post the link.
