Q. Im thinking about gettting a new phone but I'm debating between the galaxy s2 and the amaze 4g. I heard the processor on the galaxy s2 is different from the other ones. I also read that the battery on the amaze really sucks. Which phone do you guys think is better?
A. Get the Samsung Galaxy S2. It has gorilla glass which protects your screen from scratching. Also, it has Super AMOLED Plus capacitive touchscreen, 16M colors which the Amaze doesn't.
Look at the link below. It compares the two phone for you.

Opinions on Samsung Epic, Evo Shift, and HTC Arrive?
Q. So I am going to purchase a new phone soon and I'm stuck between these three phones. Price is not a severe issue. Apparently the Epic is a fantastic phone, but when I went to go see it myself, it seemed rather big and the keyboard seemed awkward. But perhaps further opinions? Secondly, I really like the Evo Shift because it seemed like a reliable phone with some neat features and of good size. Lastly, I liked the Arrive because it's different. I like the Windows OS but it comes with concerns. The other two phones are Android, making them developed OSs with plenty of apps. Windows OS though is new and still has glitches, not to mention a smaller app selection. Although, I love Window's design and simplicity...I am just so stuck. They are all great phones that aren't particulary better than one or the other...opinions?
A. The Samsung Epic 4G (Galaxy S phone) is a very nice phone. It's 4 inches, it's big lmao. Full touch screen plus a slide out QWERTY keyboard, really nice for texting because the keyboard isn't mini plus it's good for gaming. I believe the Epic 4G has the Gingerbread update officially, Android OS 2.3.3 (newest one). Amazing 1GHz processor, very fast, can run multiple applications at once.
Pros:
1. Great battery life
2. Awesome Customization
3. Bluetooth great quality (verison 3.0 BT technology)
4. Graphic processor can be 40% faster than the HTC Evo, that includes the Evo Shift
5. E-mail+Web browsing
6. Phone reception/quality is perfect
7. Main camera quality
Cons:
1. Too many hidden apps open by themselves all the time
2. Back camera lens comes all the way out
The good: The Samung Epic 4G has a knockout Super AMOLED display, a 1GHz processor, a front-facing camera, an impressive QWERTY keyboard, a 5.0MP (megapixel) camera w/ an LED flash, and supports Sprint's 4G WiMax network. It is capable of acting as a mobile hot WiFi hot spot for up to 5 devices
The bad: The Samsung Epic 4G is the bulkiest of all the Galaxy S phones, and also the priciest. Also requires a costly data plan.
The bottom line: The Samsung Epic 4G is a multimedia powerhouse w/ features the other Galaxy S phones don't have. Sadly, comes with a big price tag.
HTC Evo Shift 4G
The good: The HTC Evo Shift 4G has a solid design w/ a comfortable physical keyboard. The Android 2.2 (Froyo) smartphone is 4G capable and can be used as a mobile hot spot.
The bad:
1. Lacks a front-facing camera
2. Lacks a HDMI port
The bottom line:
For those who crave a physical keyboard, the HTC Evo Shift 4G is a solid choice with a more wallet-friendly price than its 4G competitors, and it doesn't sacrifice too many features.
HTC Arrive
The good:
The HTC Arrive features a durable design with a responsive QWERTY keyboard and a tilting screen. It's the first Windows Phone 7 device to ship with Microsoft's cut-and-paste feature.
The bad:
The HTC Arrive's heavy and bulky body will weigh some people down, and it requires some pressure to slide open the keyboard. Its camera could be better, and we were hoping for 4G WiMax support.
The bottom line:
The HTC Arrive, Sprint's first Windows 7 phone, is a solid effort that largely delivers, although it will disappoint those looking for a 4G smartphone.
HTC Evo 4G
The good:
The HTC Evo 4G delivered respectable 4G speeds, and the mobile hot-spot feature lets you connect up to eight devices. The smartphone has a front-facing camera for video chats and also comes with an 8-megapixel camera with HD-video-recording capabilities. The Evo ships with YouTube's HQ video player, Android 2.1 with HTC Sense, and an HDMI port. Other highlights include an extra-large 4.3-inch touch screen and a 1GHz Snapdragon processor.
The bad:
Sprint's 4G network is limited at this time, making the mandatory $10 premium data add-on tough to swallow for anyone outside of the coverage area. The Evo lacks support for Bluetooth voice-activated dialing. Battery drains quickly with 4G
The bottom line:
The HTC Evo 4G is easily Sprint's best smartphone and one of today's top Android devices. It also shows the promise of 4G, which will grow as Sprint's WiMax network expands, but until there's broader 4G coverage, it's hard to agree with the mandatory premium data add-on fee.
Samsung Galaxy S3 OR Samsung Galaxy Nexus?
Q. my choices are: (the back to school promotions)
Samsung Galaxy S3
- $500 for no-term contract. $29/month. Unlimited call/text/DATA. and its with WIND mobile.
Samsung Galaxy Nexus
- $300 for no-term contract. $25/month. Unlimited call/text/DATA. and its with Mobilicity
Which company is better? Which offer is better? Any comments/suggestions?
A. I prefer Samsung Galaxy S3 unlocked, I bought mine here:

Phone works very well with very good battery life. With moderate to heavy use I can get over 24 hours. Going all day is not an issue.
Yes, it is only 3G in order to own the quad core. The U.S. 4G dual cores will be out soon.
On WiFi I can download large Flash intensive pages in 2-3 seconds. Faster than anything I have seen. On 3G it appears to be as fast as Sprint Epic 4G Touch (in 3G mode). Maybe the Sprint Galaxy S2 is faster in 4G mode but I haven't tested it against my other phone. The AT&T 3G is reaching spots where Sprint 3G and 4G were not getting. And as a disclaimer, I am not a fan of AT&T. Reception seems very good. No dropped calls and it is perfect inside my house (which has been very difficult for almost every other phone I have owned). I have not tested reception extensively.
I pay about $140 a month with no contract for service. That is unlimited minutes, unlimited texts and 5GB/mo of data. A bit pricey.
There are a couple of things I dislike about the operating system, but it is overwhelmingly an upgrade from Android 2.3.6. The camera is not quite as fantastic as I was hoping for. But maybe that is because the S2 camera is so good, it was hard to improve on it. I am talking about picture quality, not features. The picture quality of my S2 seems better.
The notification system is all or none. You get beeped for a text, but also for every new email. Wish that wasn't the case.
I really like the S2 screen. There is something about it, the S3 cannot top. I do like the fact the screen is bigger on the S3.
One question I had was the charger. It came with a U.S. 110 Volt charger and not the European 220V. That was good to see. It is compatible with Samsung's other chargers.
I think this is the best price over the Internet:
