Update to iOS5, if you are not satisfied or simply looking for a new experience, then skip iPhone 4S. Consider a Samsung phone. Galaxy SII is a monster with a beautiful display and an enormous battery life.

I'd say get what's most important to you.

If you use a Mac, iTunes, etc.. well, then iPhone probably integrates with your life better.

If XboxLive integration is an absolute must then probably the WM7 phone is your best friend.

If you use a lot of Google's services and want the best selection and latest hardware possible, then Android is the way to go.

Me? I choose Android as I hate Apple's forced monopoly on its end users and WM7 is still playing catch up in features/hardware options, though Mango does a lot for this as well as some of the newest rumored devices for the end of the year. Plus, I do use all of Google's services.


I agree with this.

@hikaruchan people telling you to get this or get that are being a bit silly. Get the phone which is better intergrated in the ecosystem you are invested in. It would make your life much better. Its not like one particular OS is that much better than the next, that you absolutely must make a change. All three are viable, healthy and growing platforms. You will not find yourself missing vital features should you pick either one.

Id say since you had a iphone previously then you might as well get the iphone 4S...it really has great battery life. Its a smartphone you can actually use. The downside though is that its familiar and it wont be like "wow check out my new phone".

If you dont particular care about itunes, icloud etc. then it doesnt really matter what you get. youl be fine either way. Same goes with android and google service etc. and windows and their services and so on...

Currrently i have the samsung galaxy S2...it really has a wow factor to it, and it works brilliantly, except for some irritating issues (which all smartphones have in their own right). Point is it does almost everything i want it to the way i want it to. So the first thing you need to do is to find out whats important to you in a phone then maybe people can give you better advice.

Hmmm... I am not sure about this but I remember something about galaxy sii being shipped with 2 different sized batteries.

EDIT:

Actually I am sure now

First one comes with 1650 mAh

I actually just confirmed it. Check my post above.

Don't worry though, you can alway buy this:

If you are planning on keeping your phone for a long time ofc :)

EDIT:

Scratch all that. The USA only gets the bigger battery and you don't live there so nvm. Just get the a2000 one!

I'd definitely pick WP7 over Android and iOS.

The key difference is the way things are organized. Android and iOS gives you apps for doing all your stuff, where WP7 tries to keep things integrated into logical hubs. All music you listen to can be controlled from the Music+Video Hub, regardless of where you're playing it from (same goes for videos), and People Hub contains all the information you need on your contacts in one place, rather than your phone contacts being in one place, your email contacts in another, facebook contacts ..., etc.

I'd take a WP7 phone for the interface alone.

Everything you said about Android is wrong. All of my media is in one place. I can look at pictures, watch videos or listen to music all from the same location. As for contacts, everything is integrated if you want it to be. The difference here is I have a choice to integrate facebook contacts with other contacts. It is as easy as clicking yes. All of the pictures update when people change them, email addresses are all stored along with all  the other info. I prefer to not sync them though because I don't like the pictures changing all the time. I do however sync with google so that all my contact info is stored remotly. That way if I decide to change roms or upgrade phones all my contact info is saved.

My bad then.
