The Galaxy S2 no question. The Lumia is an underpowered single core and so is the Iphone 4.

Oddly enough, i voted for the 900. Ive been dying for the SGS2 forever, and the ATT SGS2 is exynos equiped... but the SGS3 is right around the corner so i figured something new and fresh would be more fun on the short term, since the SGS3 is where my real money is going. :)

A new era of Windows trolls?

Funny to see taco50 resurrected... funny to see IPHONE using words like "dodo" and "dime-bar" just like that APPLE.ROYALIST goofball that got banned... funny to see taco50 and IPHONE always on around the same time, and cross-commenting support to each other... almost makes me wonder if taco50 = IPHONE?

And yes, for what it's worth, it wouldn't surprise me if Windows developed a troll-ish following akin to the extremist iFanatics... Android has a few themselves, but the iPhone extremists are more grating on the nerves, I think...

When Nokia extremist fans mutates into a windows troll an emotional mess of a creature is born!

Thank goodness I got out of my Nokia fanboyism when the Nokisoft/Microkia "Elopocalypse" happened...

I wouldn't want to be an emotional mess of a creature...

lol, i made the exact same complaint on the other thread about he apple lawyers being yelled at by the judge.

S II is probably the biggest steal when you look at the specs. Experience comes down to the user.

96. jsoliz1985 posted on 05 Apr 2012, 18:54 1

Not only would i choose the Galaxy S II, I actually just purchased that very phone this morning. Although i do agree that the Vivid should be on this list due to the current price and immediate availability of ICS, but it was the Vivid that i returned to the store to get the GSII due to the Vivid's battery life. I would love to have LTE but right now AT&T doesn't have an LTE phone with battery life good enough yet, Too bad the RAZR MAXX isn't on AT&T as a subsidized phone.

hey.....all the device are good but ..............according to me.....PA should have pitted the devices of 2012....not 2011.But who gets the deal of the lifetime like this.......nokia device in 99$.
