Galaxy SII or Galaxy Nexus?

Infinite - what are you doing with your HD2 now?

Gave it to my father to replace his BB

lucky dad.

I don't know anyone who is interested in getting a new bb - even the teenagers I know are now more interested in an iphone (hand down or not) or an android of some form.

Went into my shop, was told they dont have the SGN in stock and that they also don't do it sim free / PAYG

May print off the photo and go in next week, but not sure if that was just a one-off... still thinking I'll wait for the SGSIII to be announced, though am fed up of my HD7s...

I don't understand why they had a problem.
I found all the other major network providers & major retailers very unhelpful (found the attitude of the sales people in phones4U absolutely appalling).

Vodaphone had no problem.
The sales assistant asked the manager about the procedure for purchasing the handset.
The manager explained, just scan the unit & sell it to me.
There was no questions about PAYG or purchasing a SIM. I even told them I was going to use the phone on 3.
(They were even helpful enough to break the seal on the box & fit my sim card into the new phone)
I even explained that I would not purchase the phone if it did not work with 3.
They had no problem with this even though they had to break the security seal on the box.

There was no issues what so ever.

My contract is up, currently got a Galaxy S 1 (16gb model sim unlocked)

Currently Vodafone have some epic deals through a well known high street retailer

Galaxy SII: £0 (white) or £40 (black) upfront
Galaxy Nexus: £100 upfront

12 month contract, 300 mins, 3000 texts, 500mb web £36 a month

So I'm looking at £720-820 for 12 months inc cost of the phone

Anyone have any idea which is better? The Galaxy Nexus has iffy reviews but is newer and obviously getting ICS sooner being the new 'google' phone

Seems like a very good deal, shame T-mobile cant get anywhere close to matching it! How come Vodafone can offer it so cheaply on a 12 month, when t-mobile cant even do it on a 18month!?

Galaxy S2 all the way but the downside is the ugly TW interface

Use Golauncher and customise to your heart's content. The freedom of Android.

The Galaxy Nexus is way better. Since it's by Google, it gets all the latest OS updates ! And it's quite faster than the S2, got a better camera as well. The battery timing is good to.

I myself have a Samsung Galaxy Note, and i love, it. I just hate the Battery timing of it. And I was considering the Nexus when i was buying the note, but i ruled it out because it had a fixed storage. And now that im using my Note, i realize i don't use storage anywhere near that amount.

Galaxy Nexus is the better of the two I think. Having a phone that is first to be updated to the latest versions of Android is a massive advantage in a world where there is still some phones from other manufacturers that are stuck on 2.3 Gingerbread but have the hardware capabilities to run Ice Cream Sandwich and even Jelly Bean.

Have to say the galaxy Nexus with Jellybean very nippy.

The galaxy S2 is a Super AMOLED plus and the Nexus is Super AMOLED the screen on the nexus is a pentile which is terrible in my opinion S2 is much better phone it doesnt have pentile screen I would get the S2 over the Nexus.
