Hey Kaz if your in a 4G area it's worth getting the S2 with 4G from telstra. Fucking internet loads nearly twice as fast on 4G wireless, it's quicker than the direct service line in the office.
A couple of mates have the galaxy 3 and swear by it. I was about to swap my Iphone4 for one when I see mum and dad a few days later with one each. All I can say is thank Christ I didn't get one cos I found it the most difficult POS to navigate. I spent ages trying to help them set them up and the old man spent the first 2 weeks trying to refrain from smashing it to pieces. They both still struggle with it.
Now I hate Mac computers with a passion but as far as I'm concerned, Apple nailed it with the iPhone for simplicity and easy of use. Yes, the G3 has some nice features like excellent display but it's user interface is simply retarded compared to the iPhone. Sure, the iPhone is not without fault but I really can't see myself switching any time soon, and certainly not to a Galaxy... ever!
DKD, I'm sorry to hear it was a no go for you. But I did have my reservations when you said you'd got one. I agree that iTunes is a PITA.

it's funny cos it goes both ways - i've been using androids for nearly 5 years now and i can't for the life of me figure out how to do anything on an iphone...
I don't believe that. Even my mum worked out how to use her iPhone on her own.
Android is easier to develop for but you can't performance tune your app as much ,a lot is dependent on the virtual machine(dalvik) where as with ios you need to work at a lower level and you get more control over how your app runs.
Is this correct?
If you develop for Android you have to support JB, ICS, GB, Eclair etc.. There's apps on google play that still don't support holo. Not to mention you have to support a lot of different screen sizes and architectures.
Also, with iOS you get less control over how your apps run I would say. For example, 3rd party apps cannot use the super fast javascript engine of webkit. Whereas Android allows apps deeper access into the core OS.
