      A phone with crap call quality can't be called a phone.My frd has got one iphone4 recently,and practically found it very less useful compared to nokias and samsungs high end phones.bluetooth won't work,call quality is worse,signal remains poor. due to lack of pentaband like nokias, 3g activation is difficult in many cities. u can't go to store without giving ur card no.while on any of android and symbian store,u can just go ahead and download free apps. don't ask about hassles of downloading itunes everywhere.
      He is so frustrated that he sold it off in 3 months on ebay and now got symbian anna enabled N8,which is awesome in all respects.
      A device which can't serve the basic purpose of a phone must not be called a phone.it is better to be called "Ishit".

          Sounds more like you're having preference issues, not quality issues with the SGSII.

          By the way, what headphones were you using with the SGSII?

            hahahhah, as expected.. lol . the same mistake i made once, i brought my SG2 by selling my iphone4 and when i brought and use Sg2, i was totally upset..! i feeling like im holding a plastic box in my hand. the display is bright and big but when u look carefully u can see the pixels, the pics i use to see on my iphone looks worse in SG2, I am have heave music lover and the playlist looks worse in SG2, had some features , but none of them have quality. I connect headset to mobile.. lol, one side of the headset is not working ..lol, i thought first maybe the song has only in one track, i change the song.. lol, again only one side is working. then i till the knobe over the socket tilt a little, then the both started working, i was like , ohh my god.. this is new mobile,... i have connected to facebook. but i can feel the pixels everywere. i was soo dissapointed.. then i thought, ok lets check android market..! lol. thats even worse. i feel like im looking at comics books, the icons looks worse with.. the app stores is simply awesome, Android market is no way near to App store. I downloads yahoo, tryied video call and it so bad compare to Ios. then i realise SG2 has loads of options, but none of them have quality. i want quality and i had it from iphone, last 3 years im using iphone, starting from 2g, 3gs and now iphone4, it nver dissapoing me. i downloads endless quality apps.! im waiting for Iphone5 and i hope it wil comeup even better than iphone 4. Even the printer used in our office from Samsung, it has no qulity compare to the HP and canon.. ! Frankly..! Samsung jus copies all other gadgets, thats what they only knows and does..!

              How many people participated in this survey ? if it's yet another typical survey i guess it's about 500 who don't represent the whole world, i would have said no. Androids market share took over iOS that means people are favoring Android more than iPhone.

                Well, according to source 1 (Tech Trader Daily), this survey was done by interviewing '515' high end users. '515' are purchasing managers and other
                senior executives in 30
                major cellular operators in Western Europe and North America. I think randomly selected bigger sample should have been surveyed to draw such conclusions.

                          I don't see what's the big deal about the OS. They all got their problems and strengths. Find the one you like and go on with it. Stop telling others which sucks and which doesn't. As far as I'm concerned, apps don't matter when it comes to a phone. A phone is used to keep in contact with others, whether it's by text or call. What's the big deal with apps anyway? I had both a droid and iOS phone.. in my opinion, they were both the worst decisions I made lol No offence to iOS/Android users. They don't make phones like they use to.. Motorola V60, Nokia 5110.. lol classics.

                                      Android is bad to me with many apps requiring a FORCE CLOSE meaning badly written apps..The battery life is as inconsistent as the version of the O/S you are using.
