Nice earlier 1990s TV remote, you got there HtheB....wait? it's a phone?

Don't judge anything if you haven't seen or used it in real.

What about the iphone? it's just a loosy brick that shatters in million pieces after dropping it a few times already...
I rather have a indestructable remote controle then a loosy brick

Just admit it like engadget and all other tech websites do:
The N9 is sexy!

Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich will be optimized for dual-core CPUs. But I doubt your precious Galaxy S II will get updated (Don't quote me on that)

I think it will, along with several Gingerbread devices.
To be certain you'll have to wait and see.

(Too late)

It should get updated, since Google made an agreement with its partners(Samsung, HTC, LG, Motorola, etc) to keep support and update the device for 18 months.

It will get updated, iFish was just trying to get a dig at Android and it's fragmentation. He should have said something more like "too bad your precious Galaxy S II won't get it for 5 months" or something to that effect.

Custom Roms ftw. Really the best android UI is obviously HTC Sense. I rather have that then Android 4.0 anyways.

That last statement makes me sick. After all of the quality, artistic work they've put into Ice Cream Sandwich, you'd rather have HTC's bloated skin than the pure, smooth experience of stock Android.

Most of the features that are new in Android 4.0, HTC Sense 3.5 already has them in some form or another.
I prefer the HTC Sense ui more then Android 4.0. Resizable widgets don't really need that, but Motoblur even had that already. New lock screen actions nothing beats HTC Sense 3.5 lockscreen. Improved text input and spell-checking alright that is pretty cool but I don't find myself using that often. The face detection for lockscreen is POINTLESS what if its night time or something, plus seems like a headache to keep posing for the camera much faster to just slide. Control over network data, millions of apps in the Android market do this. People and profiles HTC already had a nice part of it were all was integrated with Facebook, and smart dial on HTC sense is amazing. HTC Sense 3.5 already has Panorama mode for the camera. HTC Sense already has instance shutter camera. And others.

Agreed, iOS5 use's the dual-core chp perfectly. And software is a perfect match for the hardware in the iPhone 4S, the S2's hardware/software dont blend in as well as the iPhone 4s

So, how do you know that this is the case? Maybe things could run a leetle beet smoother. Again, for your other 2 statements: how and why do you know that?

iFish, on 25 October 2011 - 12:07 AM, said:

I'd like to correct you. Some apps already take advantage of the dual-core A5 chip since the iPad 2 had it for a few months already.

Ditto.

Stop thinking your assumption(s) is/are fact(s). And please, the iOS/Android discussion is growing old.

Well played.

wow great review !

wish i had an iphone

i had iphone envy when this first hit, but after realizing that there are 3 main differences: 8 mp camera, A5 (which is not technically a duel core) and the siri update... its not that much better.
I like my 4.

[Martin1]

I recently got the iPhone 4S and its in a class of its own... but i only had the 3G before, so to me it was a clear winner.

It depends when they decide to release the 5 as i dont know what they can do differently to make it more significant than the 4S... the 4S has the same dual core processor that they use in the iPad, so its quick as hell. No more need for a camera as you could easily replace this with your normal point and shoot - along with 1080p recording with the new stabalizer its mad.

I heard rumours that they have been re-working some older technology (and you know what apple are like!!) and will be creating a projector with the camera so you can watch your HD movies on the wall... apart from that and of course constant software updates, i cant see how much better the 5 will be!

Actually, Engadget is in two minds.

Quote

If Nokia isn't fully invested in MeeGo and Qt, why should you be? (...) And that, dear friends, is why the delights of the N9 lead me to despondency. It's a terrific phone that's got me legitimately excited to use it, but its future is clouded by a parent that's investing its time and money into building up a whole other OS. MeeGo, and in particular its Harmattan variety, looks set to become the unfortunate victim of the cutthroat economics that dominate competition in the smartphone realm today. Which would be a damn shame considering the wonderful concepts it espouses.
http://www.engadget....not-be-serious/

Sorry, but in my honest opinion, MeeGo has slim chances of ever "growing up" when faced by iOS, Android and Windows Phone, especially if Nokia doesn't seen to step it up at all. Even Symbian, once a great superpower on the market, is in the corner, weeping its final tears before departing into the land of Abandonware.

Nokia is not, and never was, a software company. They make phones. Bloody good phones. They should cut the crap and start making Androids/Windows Phone's full-time like HTC instead of living in a dream land where MeeGo has "a chance".

This is good stuff. But way too expensive.

[jilin]

A lot of the iOS 5 features are features that Android already had？
