Good: The first android phone that is truly better than the iphone in every respect

Bad: Nothing

Comment: This phone is a joy to use. It's light, rocket fast and the screen is awesome. Music Hub makes it a delight to use for music, great not to be tied into itunes. The camera is awesome as is video recording. This is the first phone I have used on which I can easily and accurately use the qwerty keyboard. This review is written with it. The browser is superb and this is the first android phone where I don't feel the need to download alternative SMS and browser apps. Apple fans will probably stick to the now definitely inferior iphone, but to have this way superior phone costing just £29 on a £25 t-mobile tariff with loads of texts, talk minutes and unlimited internet is awesome. Remember this phone comes with 16gb of internal memory and an 8gb sd card. It really is a no brainer.

Good: Screen Resolution, speed, design, Android platform

Bad: Nothing as of yet....

Comment: I had the opportunity to try out this phone today and all I can say that it is amazing.... It blows the iPhone out of the water. This phone should sell well as it is seriously good and the screen is outstanding. Everything looks so vibrant and sharp. The Android software has a minimal learning curve but it is too good a phone to even notice. I might switch from my iPhone 4 to this as it looks like a real smartphone with amazing functionality. Bring it on Apple... Let's see if you can create something better than this beast...

Good: Everything!!

Bad: Don't know until I get my hands on one.

Comment: From everything I have read, this phone is set to be the most perfect phone for a while to come yet. An 8 megapixel camera [and having owned a phone with said 8 megapixel, I know it is amazing], with HD video recording and playback.
A dual core 1.2 GHz processor, which is faster than some old laptops and new netbooks. Personally, I don't think you even need that much in a phone.
Aesthetically, it is beautiful, though I am a Samsung fan, so I would say that. But, slim and light, it looks to be perfect in terms of dimension and screen size. Samsung's Super AMOLED was already brilliant, so I'm assuming the Super AMOLED Plus will also be fantastic.
The only reason I didn't buy the Samsung Galaxy S was because there was no flash on the camera, the S 2 has so much more to offer than only a flash added. SO it is a definite buy for me!!

Comment: This phone works like a dream.
The iPhone 5 has to be something seriously special to top this.

Good: Display size and clarity, speed, camera, everything, thinness, lightness

Bad: I'm thinking hard, but no, nothing:)

Comment: I have had this phone for just over a week, and can say its by far and away the best gadget i've ever owned. Putting this into context in terms of phones, i've had an HTC Desire, a Desire HD, and an Iphone 4, and it blows them all away. Its rather like comparing a Ferrari against a Ford Mondeo, its that good.
The phone looks and feels great. And yes its not as stylish in terms of visual appeal as say the iphone 4, with its lovely metal body, but hey i'd prefer lightness and thinness to anything else, especially with a phone of this screen size. I had an HTC Desire HD, with the 4.3 inch screen, and metal casing, and you definitely knew you had it in your pocket, this you don't. And its built really well, doesn't creak at all, unlike my HTC Desire HD.
The speed of the machine is unreal, and lets face it, it should be, as its faster than quite a few pcs and laptops. It takes everything in its stride, especially HD movie playback. I've run a blueray rip of Avatar on the phone, and it runs perfectly,which amazed me. I also have a DNLA TV, and it works perfectly with the phone.

As for the camera, its great, as is the video.

Oh and it actually works very well as a phone, the reception is great, and sound quality is excellent.

I am quite shocked that reviewers haven't proclaimed this as a revolutionary phone, and stated that it's simply the best phone out there, I mean period, and by some distance. It does everything very well, and has no real weakness, and for that alone its a winner. What else do you want from a phone?
