[deleted post]Bahhh wrong answer....
The Nokia processor isn't equivalent to the dual core nor the 1 ghz,
The nokia N8 is a inferior phone compared to the Samsung S2 in almost every aspect, apart from the camera.
Face reality nokia is dying a slow and painful death.

Over $1020.00 USD (I live in the US). That is crazy. Do you know how powerful of a laptop you can get for that kind of money. "It dose 1080p video recording" So dose a Canon Rebel T2i, and it's cheaper! I'm sorry but the carriers are going to have to subsidize the hell out of that thing to get it to a reasonable price. The Atrix is way cheaper than that thing, and it's pretty much a little computer. That's just insane, that's the price of a pretty well spec'd computer. I didn't read up totally on what it could do I will admit that, however I'm pretty sure it can't do anything that'll justify that kind of price. HTC, it looks like I'm gonna be sticking with you guys for a while longer.

jm, 25 Feb 2011galaxy s II will not sell like hotcakes due to its bloody p... moreHaha I like the brand 'Sample'
I believe simplicity is what makes a phone design successful and IP has been a very smart looking yet simple to the eye since IP1. Personally I feel SE phones models are too busy, too much going on, too many details. it's making me giddy, Samsung understands this and therefore make their phone design simple looking too, for adult kids like us to enjoy. And how much different simplicity can be, at the end of the day they will look alike or bear some resemblance to each other. Less button? less curve? monochrome colour? It's inevitable. I still think SGS2 still have samsung's trademark on it's design such as the camera design.
I mean how different can sedan cars be to not be accused of copying each other right?

Atrix is the best smartphone and the lowest priced one.
SG S2 have 2 better featurings:
* 8MP camera and record at 1080p.
* 16GB/32GB internal and 32GB on SD card
But Atrix is not limited at this point because of :
* 5MP but can record at 1080p
* 16GB internal and 32GB SD card are enough
But Atrix goes on top of SG S2:
* Battery life 1930mAh vs 1650mAh.
* 2 Atrix's Super Dock; Laptop dock and MultiMedia dock.
* Security lock phone Fingerprint.
Atrix is definitly the way to go for good price.
Expansys listed the Motorola Atrix for £474.99 SIM-free before pulling it offline

[deleted post]I do not dissagree with you. N8 is a great phone. But you cannot directly compare the two. Optimize N8's OS on that phone and then we speak about performance. Or vice versa...
I shouldn't even been bothering replying after this: And I quote you: "The OS is optimized and even though its just 680 mhz its really equivalent to a dual core junkdroid" Equivalent? In which way? Application loading time? 2D/3D Performance? Hardware performance? Show us some number to prove your statement.. People just type any shit that comes to their minds this days..
Really? "even though its just 680 mhz its really equivalent to a dual core"?? I guess that "afghanistan ganja" weed is taking over more and more... Be more reasonable next time..

The price will drop. Once the "have to have it first" people have got theirs, the price should go down to something more reasonable, after all, Samsung want the phones to sell . . . don't they?

Here in Greece, it costs 689€...It is priced 100€ less than iPhone 4 (32GB), which makes it a burgain for what it's offering. LINK:

I cannot believe that there are still people mentioning the Sony Ericsson as competitive while its latest phone (Arc) is as powerful as Samsung's -last year- Galaxy S.
There are currently 4 companies that are making mobile phones evolve and everybody should thank them (while not necessarily buying their products): Apple, Samsung, LG and recently Motorola. Sony Ericsson (and unfortunately HTC) should be placed in the category of ZTE, Huawei etc. -companies that use pre-existing technologies (often 2 years old).

Never, ever purchase a phone from the UK. The right price for this phone should be £310, not £650!

Ouch! I can see that samsung is trying to get rid of 'king of mid-range' off their name. Good work, a good way to tackle the problem, but i won't be buying.

My eyes are still watering...this is a plastic phone that feels cheap and plastic. Not even dual core could justify this price for this phone!
By the time the real benefits of dual core are realised, the tech would be common place....
Something comes to mind about fools and money.....
Good luck Sammy, you'll need it!
