...any recommendations, Suggestions?
Large screen size is exactly why I dismissed several Android phones in my recent search for a new phone. I want a phone, not something that's too big for a phone, but too small for a tablet. The new RAZR was sweet, and I really liked the case material, but the screen was just too big. As for screen quality, that AMOLED screen on the Galaxys is pretty sweet, but I am enjoying the ultra-high resolution of the iPhone, much easier on my eyes.
As for power, the CPU parts are a bit faster than an iPhone, but the SGX543MP GPU on an iPhone 4S is several times as fast as the Mali 400 MP in the Galaxy S2. iOS heavily leverages the GPU for visual effects, so that GPU really makes the user interface absolutely fluid.
But the Galaxy series phones are generally a safe bet when looking for an Android phone. My daughter just got a Galaxy S with a physical keyboard, and she likes it.
Ditto here. Samsung Galaxy Nexus at Verizon. I got the extended battery so there is no problem with the battery for me. I can’t believe how fast it is.
One of the droid phones will allow you to set an appointment with the person you are talking to; you open the calendar and check a day and time and it slips the information from your caller in the spot. very cool.
My realtor had it = she LOVED that feature.
I picked up the Samsung Galaxy S 2, the “I-phone killer” myself last week, I am still finding out stuff to work with on it, this phone does everything AND more. Probably much more than the average person needs.
We are a mixed family...
My son has an iPnone 4S. Loves it. Very easy to use. It is his music player, GPS, phone, and entertainment center.
My wife has a Blackberry. She lives to email and loves the physical keyboard.
I have an HTC Evo 4G. While it has amazing capabilities, it is less than ideal in execution. It does random things, spontaneously hangs up, apps crash, and updates change the phone so much that you almost have to relearn the phone. Android does not impress me.
My step-father is also in real estate, and he too is a Windows user. He started his Smartphone walk with a Samsung Galaxy... and absolutely hated it. He loves is iPhone 4. He hasn’t run into anything that it prevents him from doing - and being a Windows user doesn’t have any impact on using an iPhone.
That’s nice. The online sites pertaining to real estate in my area are windows based.
