    I am using LG Optimus One since november last year. This phone is fantastic and I was amazed with the display. But the applications are not that great, games are somehow boring compared to iOS apps. That’s why I’ll buy iPhone 3gs next week since android doesn’t seems to satisfy my needs.

    using galaxy 5. does lots of stuff high-end phones can do… has a few limitations but considering the price, definitely worth buying especially if you’re new to android. too bad can’t upgrade it to froyo via kies, here in the phil.

    I had a Samsung Galaxy S. It’s all about the Super AMOLED. Me and the people who had seen the screen had been astonished by the quality of the display. The number 1 Android phone of 2010 according to gsmarena.

    I’m using a LG GT540 Optimus and it’s going it’s first year with me this August. Even though it is stuck on Eclair and only packs a resistive screen, it’s responsiveness is very good.
    it’s a solid phone and I think I’ll be sticking longer with this one until I can buy myself a better phone.

    Ako. LG Optimus One,p500… worth the price plus all the custom Rom/tweaks/kernels…. but I also want to try samsung’s amoled/plus phones, HTC desire z, and all the latest xperia android phone…

    Using a Motorola Milestone XT720 (the 1st android phone with Xenon Flash).

    Installed a custom ROM that uses Froyo, so far so good. I haven’t tested the HDMI port yet since I dont have a TV with HDMI. Camera shots are good, but video recording lags. Other than that its good.

    I have been using my Samsung Galaxy Spica i5700 for two years now. The phone’s OS was upgraded to Android 2.1. Accidentally dropped it several times already,and still going. Solid built. The best thing is it’s cheap. =]

    Samsung Galaxy SL user for 2 months now. First time on a Samsung phone AND a smartphone.

    I continue to use it as a note-taking device with its bundled ThinkFree Office App, where creating Office documents are a breeze.

    I know it’s a watered down version of the Galaxy S, but it’s performing up to my expectations. Am on page 9 for all the apps I’ve downloaded so far!

    Big screen, free value apps, document viewer and editor, sketchbook, web browser, multi-media device, casual gaming device. All I need in a mobile world… for now.

      i don’t think that Galaxy SL is a watered down version of Galaxy S, what i see the difference between the two is their displays, the Galaxy S uses Super Amoled while the SL uses SuperClear LCD, and that’s the reason why the Galaxy SL is cheaper compared to the Galaxy S.

      btw here’s a link to specs comparison of the two, http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=3115&idPhone2=3761

    I’m currently enjoying my SE x10 running on official Android 2.1. Got it last December 2010. No plans yet of changing this phone. Can’t wait for the gingerbread update! :)

    Samsung and LG — maker’s of plasticky gadgets
    haha.. try before you buy, para wag magsisi

    • Avatar for e30ernest e30ernest says:

      It depends. Plastic vs metal is a very subjective matter and really depends on the implementation. Personally I have come to like the plastic builds of the Samsung Galaxy S and Nexus S. It feels good to hold, and the material used are of pretty high-quality.

      One advantage I can really see on plastics is that they are light! My Nexus S feels better on my pocket than my Nexus One was. The combination of the material and the shape also makes the Nexus S easier to hold. My Nexus One always felt like it wanted to jump off my hand so I always found myself using it with two hands.

    Been using HTC Desire HD for almost 2 months. I was absolutely blown away by this gadget! One of the best android phones in the market right now. Speed and performance wise, this phone is surely a front runner. I also like the big screen. It defies the boundary between the mobile phones and tablets. I just wish internal memory was larger.

    I have friends in the office who use Iphone4. And when they saw my DHD, they just wanted to thrash theirs. Iphone is a good phone, I just don’t think they’re being fair to consumers. With all the high end phones in the market right now, they should snap out of this inkling of giving prestige to those who buys their device. Owning an iphone does not make you an elite class. It’s crazy that you have to pay for each application you download. And to those android haters who keep on telling how cheap the OS is, then don’t you find jailbreaking of your iphone even worse? Android phones are fast paced. And I don’t think it’s something that iphone can keep up with. Substance over form my friends.

    • Avatar for Jologs Jologs says:

      I am an iphone 4 user, previously an HTC Desire user. I was not impressed, that’s why I switched.

      Funny thing is, what turned me off from the Android OS in general is the lack of good apps in the Android Market. And just to correct you, you do NOT have to pay for every application that you download. My phone isn’t jailbroken but I have about 90 out of 100 apps free. And the ten that I paid for were about 99 cents each. Not bad, considering that the superior quality of these apps.

      And Android is fast paced compared to the iPhone? I hope you can tell that to the other device owners who are still waiting for their eclair/froyo/gingerbread update. :)

      Anyway, like some of the other sensible readers who commented here, it’s a matter of preference. Wanting my iPhone over Android devices does not make me stupid nor people preferring Android to iOS does not make them jologs.

    • Avatar for e30ernest e30ernest says:

      I agree to this somewhat. Android is lagging in terms of applications. While functionally, they may be the same (or even be better) than some iOS apps, they generally lack the polish iOS apps have.

      It’s a changing trend though. With the explosion of Android sales the past year, more and more developers are joining the Android band-wagon, and some iOS apps are being ported to Android.

      Pretty soon, both app stores will be populated by similar quality apps, and the choice between either OS will purely come down to preference.

      the “popular” Angry Bird was released by

      AppStore – December 2009,
      Android Market – October 2010….

      And so the trend continues….

    • Avatar for Jologs Jologs says:

      If that happens then winner pa rin ang consumers for having more choices. :)

      I don’t understand why iphone users keep on bragging about their phones in this thread. Do they even understand what this poll is for? Give this one to the android users and just wait for your turn. i hope that you respect that. you’re the ones causing the downfall of your so called iphone community. sports lang tayo mga tol. i know democracy. but it doesn’t mean pede mo na sabihin lahat ng gusto lalo pa hindi naman yon ang topic dito. mga inggeterong to. hehe :P

    • Avatar for Jologs Jologs says:

      Dude, did you even look at the comments that you made. I agree that this is an Android thread so why bring the ip4 in the conversation. Remember, you are the one who started it, and people responded. Had you not mentioned the ip4 in your obviously uneducated rant (and when I say that, I mean you are clueless about the device itself being a non-user), then people wouldn’t have responded. You get what you give. See if the others get responses na mentioned and ip4? Hindi diba? Kse di sila katulad mo. They answered the survey question straight away. Oh well… there goes another one… Another epitome of the ANdroid fanboy who disses the ip4 para lang maiangat ang preferred OS nya.

      i didn’t start it. do u know how to scroll down? kung babasahin mo yung previous posts. makikita mo na your iphone fellow users ang nagstart nito. this poll is exclusive for android users. so kapag may nang okray ng android, it’s just normal that we react and respond. plus may sinabi ba kong pangit ang iphone? sinabi ko lang na for me mas maganda ang anrdroid. i have friends who switched from iphone to android. sa kanila nanggaling na it was a big waste buying that device. plus not owning an iphone makes me ignorant of what it does. yes i’m an android fanboy and that’s why i’m here. eh ikaw? bat ka nandito? again. i have nothing against iphone. nagkataon lang n mas bet ko tlg ang android, especially my DHD. think before you write. this is an android domain. epal.

    • Avatar for Jologs Jologs says:

      Hindi na kita papatulan kse your background is very clear on the way you post and your name-calling. Twagin mo akong epal? Who cares? Call me all the names you want:it does not reflect on my character, but on yours. :)

      On your last post, marami pang points na kapatol patol but I think I already wasted enough time on you. So have a good day na lang.

      And again, kudos to all those who can express their opinions ng hindi napipikon. You’re obviously not one of them. :)

    • Avatar for zaffy zaffy says:

      wow. bakit inaaway ba kita? i’m just responding. tinawag kitang epal kc wala k nmn sa iphone poll. see? i’m sure natanggap mo n rin ang mistake mo that’s why you’re leaving this poll. ako ay nagcocomment lang din. epal is not harsh a word if it perfectly describes the person it’s pertaining to. ayaw din kitang patulan. going back to my original post. wala naman akong masamang sinabi don. why don’t you condemn your fellow iphone users na bigla na lang sumulpot dito at nagsasabi ng kung ano2 about android. kaya lang nmn ako nagcomment ng ganun because of them. kung may pikon d2 ikaw yun. kc kung sport ka dapat di ka nagreact sa simula pa lang. again. epal.

    • Avatar for Jologs Jologs says:

      As I’ve said, di na kita papatulan. Walang kwenta ang usapan na to.

      I’m gonna be the bigger person and be patient with those na hindi marunong umintindi. After all, kakatapos lang ng Holy Week. :)

      Also, I do not condemn people who express their opinions. I condemn trolls, at mga taong bastos makitungo. I am just wondering what type of upbringing you have if you think name-calling is ok. :)

      Oh, speaking of trolls, have you seen this thread?

      http://www.yugatech.com/blog/anything-apple/apple-iphone-4-review/

      Looking at this thread, e napaka-tame pa nga ng ip4 users compared to the hardcore Android fanboys. :)

    • Avatar for Jologs Jologs says:

      Di na kita papatulan dahil walang kwenta ang usapang to. Call me epal all you want. Like what I said, it does not reflect on my character but on yours. :)

      Just a piece of advice, look back on your original post. Don’t tell mo di mo nabanggit ang ip4? Don’t tell me if the situation were reversed and if I were on an iphone thread and started comparing it to Android, walang sasagot? Yun lang.

      And anyway, I believe the conversation between the two of us is a reflection of both our characters and I am proud to say na wala akong dapat ikahiya. :)

      weh? ocge na ikaw ng bida ikaw ng may breeding. galing no? sabi mo di ka magrereply eh nagreply ka pa rin nmn. epal k tlg. dun ka nga sa forum ng iphone hindi yung umeeksena ka dito. bakla ka. hehe
