Well I bit the bullet and made my decision

Nokia or Samsung

The Samsung Galaxy SII ticked all the boxes, after reading a lot of reviews and comments it seems the consenus is the Galaxy SII is a step above iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S (5).

So now I have to wait there's a 7-10 dasy delay

so you use more than 16/32 gig? if so, what on?

i do agree that not being able to have a micro sd card does suck a bit though

my N95 has 12 gig of music and few HD movies, with the new phone most of that will be stored on memory card.

I'm not too impressed with iTunes after using it when we brought a iPod for our Grandson.

Theres are a few of the comparison reports I read before making my decision.

I also must qualify that it was hard for me to diverge away from Nokia, why over the many years I have never had an issue with any of them, my dislike for Apple streaches back to the Mac which were overpriced and lacked adaptability, I suppose the iwhatever is a Gen X & Y thing.

Still uses Android, and I still don't believe Android is 100% market-ready
It was rushed and there are so many issues -- a lot less than iOS at the moment.

The tablets and phones I've used really fall short.

Hopefully that's just the brands and models they were.

You wouldn't believe it 1 day after I order my new phone, I get notified from Nokia that the new N9 is about to be released using MeeGo for Nokia N9 (MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan) operating system.
