Phones

I'm due an upgrade on my mobile, and fancy either the Samsung Galaxy S2 or the Galaxy Note. I've read all the reviews etc but can't quite decide. Anyone got either and would you recommend it/are there any problems?

Thanks

I have a Galaxy note, the best thing since sliced bread, I love it, the S2 is good but not as good as the note.

Im really impressed by it, great feel in the hand, whilst it is big it is lost in the pocket of my jeans or trousers. very easy to use and navigate. The battery lasts and lasts, I use mine a fair bit and I only need to charge the battery every other day.

Note the S2 has a 4.3" screen, the Note has a 5.3" screen which you may find large for a phone.

My daughter has the S2 and loves it.

I have played around with it for a bit and find it so easy to use.

She connects to our router via wi fi and gets great internet and it is so easy to use, even on a limited size screen.

I think you will be happy with the S2 (but have no experience with the Note)

The only problem I had was when I managed to occidentally disable my GPS, that was a little frustrating. Ive had mine for 4 weeks.

All the staff at phones 4u were also using the note, that says something as well.

Hmmm. I'm not fussed about the size VGH - I knew the Note was pretty big. I had decided on the s2 ages ago, but the more I see of the Note, the more intrigued I am....

Go to the shop and have a play, you will be impressed by the note!!

I'll be up in town tomorrow, so I'm going to pop in and see what I think. Thanks to both of you :)

I've got an S2 - absolutely wonderful to use for interwebbery, and the best phone I've ever had for getting a usable signal in tricky places.

Battery life can be an issue though if you do a lot of surfing/facebooking - especially via wifi - needs charging *every* night.

I have a Note and before this, I had the S. For me its a no brainer, the big screen makes the choice. It also means bigger keyboard. If you frequent areas of bad signals the S2 does have the ability to ride WiFi to use the phone functions.

what ever Galaxy you get a battery life saver app will save your battery life

I have a Galaxy fit and love, love, love it after thinking I would never, ever get on with a touch screen or qwerty keyboard. Touch screen is brilliant to use and you can change the qwerty for a usual number pad style keyboard = one happy oj
