Advantages: Fun, easy to use phone that excels in every department.

Disadvantages: The range of games on Android not quite as good as Apple

Having been an avid iPhone user for the past 3 years, I went to get an iPhone4s when it came out. I swung by the Apple store to give one a whirl before I bought one.

I'm glad I did, because it was terrible. Well, not terrible - just not that good. Not noticibily different than the iPhone4. I was disappointed. I was expecting a big revelation like I got with the last 2 iPhone.

I was so disappointed I sold my iPhone4 and went to the nearest phone shop to see what they had. Looking at the specs, I wanted something as powerful as the iPhone4 but an Android. The Galaxy S2 stood out, gave it a try and was blown away.

Its as quicker and more responsive than the iPhone4 and much, much more fun. You can do more, do it faster and with much less restrictions.

The biggest example of how this is much better, for me, was how easy getting music and video onto the phone was compared to the Iphone. You just drag and drop it. Video files play automatically without conversion, and the music player is much more feature heavy - you can simply have more fun with it.

Its a great phone that's great at lots of things. Surfing the web, maps, music, video - all a breeze. Plus its lightweight, great battery life and the screen is perfect.

Summary: The first iPhone 4s beater, that come out before the iPhone 4s
