    Had it nearly a year now and not had any sign of Malware on it, I think thats all stories made up by the iPhone crowd to make themselves feel better for spending all that extra money on a substandard phone with fruit on the back :D

    Another thing, everyone I know with an iPhone refers to it as their "iPhone" everyone else with any other handset refers to it as their "mobile"

    Hows that for superficial?
    You only need to search malware android in google.
    The iPhone is a game changer device, that's why it's call iPhone and others mobile phones.
    It's one iPhone vs army of android mobile phones. Still the army is trying to come up with a weapon called iPhone killer.

  • I chose the S2 because it has 16GB memory then you can add up to a 32GB card. I could only have afforded the 16GB iPhone and it would have filled up with apps, music pics quite fast. The S2 is a lovely phone to use, one young chap in the office said he wished he had it instead of his iPhone.

    You must be going on about how your phone is better than his iphone while he is using it. Maybe this was the only way out for this poor young chap.

    I bet the market share Android has keeps you awake at night. The first iPhone was a game changer, now the newer versions sadly for you do play catch up with other devices.

    I know your technical knowledge is limited but tell me where the screen comes from, the camera and the chip set comes from in an iPhone, regardless of which one. The fact remains, an iPhone is a smartphone, one that is no better than others.

    So just to be clear, it'll restore all my settings, apps, folders, preferences etc, as if I were simply using the same phone? What happens if I change from an HTC to a Samsung? How do I get it to do the same full restore?

    You're saying that if you stick with Apple, you can just restore it over; but you're suggesting that not being able to do that between a HTC and a Samsung is a downside?

    How do you restore from a HTC to an Apple or vice versa? Or from a Samsung to an Apple?

    Your point is moot.

    :cool:

    The Galaxy S2 is as common as muck.

    Yeah the iPhone is definitely more popular;

    It's all there for anyone to see; subjective comments on the same feature.

    One is common; the other is popular. Nice job(s) :D

    I don't expect to be able to restore from an iOS device to an Android device, but surely you can restore from one Android device to another? Isn't one of the big pros of the platform that you can go from device to device without any hassle?

    Sorry, I'm not really sure what your point is or why it's even relevant!

    No, unlike iOS the android is not same os on all android phones.
    It's open source so the os is changed by the device maker. The android os on htc is not same as the one on Samsung. For example Amazon android tablet have nothing to do with Google at all.

    Again many apps don't work on all android phones, some will only work with certain devices.

    Look at the Android os like, many os versions made by many device makers with some part control by google which cannot be changed.
