    Galaxy Tab 2 is "ok" but about a year old now i think. Nowhere near as good as the Nexus 7 in terms of specs, or Android version. Galaxy Ace, well... it depends whether you want a higher end phone or not.

    Right so. Mrs Mike picked up an ifail5 today. after having a play with it its basically an over hyped Samsung S2 with an enourmous scene tax.

    She probably wanted

    A much higher quality product
    That won't have a over complicated Android operating system
    A screen that is unlikely to scratch so easy

    iPhone is better in every way, I can say that as I have a S2, which I will have great pleasure in smashing to bits when my contract is up it will probably fall to bits before that tho

    Do it right the first time and pay a little more for the best

    Why did you let her get an iPhone over an s2 then?

    I have been an apple fan since getting tan her iPad however the moment I opened the box of the s3 I knew I had made the right decision. It's dripping in quality feeling. To say an iPhone is better than an s3 because you have an s2 completely voids your opinion as the s3 is in another league compared to the s2. Unlike the iPhone's Samsung actually change the design and spec.

    As for the screen a protector voids this comparison also

    The S3 the best none scratch screen avaliable on a phone to date, I think the only way you would scratch it is if you intentionally dragged a diamond ring over it..

    Do you really find it complicated? That amazes me, really does.

    I didn't think any of the touch screens would scratch now....

    ^ This. BTW who uses a crappy screen protector on gorilla glass screens? when a) anything that can scratch the glass will go through the protector and scratch it anyway b) the protector kills the screen clarity and colour and desensitises the touch screen. This applies to i devices too.

    That said my S2 is absolutely fine, still looks brand new after 1.5 years. oh and Samsung have ported most of the new S3 features to the jelly bean update for the S2, happy days

    Her choice not mine.

    And guess what, its faulty already video call thing doesnt work as the camera cuts out

    Ive had a play about with it, what a faf sync'ing it to a pc/itunes! And shes been an iFail fan since the original iPhone & even she struggled to sync it :S

    And she wasnt amused at the lack of blue tooth compatability.

    And another thing thats shes properly pi55ed about, it doesnt work with her Bose iPod dock as the connection on an iPhone5 is completely different to that of any other Apple product (iPod/iPhone).

    Anyway, other then that, its not *that* bad for £40 a month, unl text, unl calls, 2gB data. £25 up front for the phone. Orange wanted a staggering £120 up front & could only offer 500mb, 600mins, unl texts for £32 (IIRC?).

    Edd, if you find andriod complicated then you really must be something speshal Hell even I can work that & I struggle with Windows Excell FFS!

    Saying that I can use things like AutoCad & CNC machines with ease so I suppose its swings & roundabouts
