Yes.

A few months ago I'd say yes, now I'd say wait a month or so and get the Galaxy W on release.
1.4GHz CPU, 480x800, Gingerbread and official Flash support out of the box at a similar price.

Asking this in the Ace forum is like going to church and ask do you believe in god
Tap-a-talked from my Galaxy Ace

try to look for moto defy too.. heard it supports flash too.. and it's water proof too ..

Wish I got mine for £130. Yeah it's good, not brilliant. It's very good value at £130 though.

Ahaha, you gave me a good laugh!
The reason why I am asking is because I am looking for a good phone for my mum, which is valie for money and I found and Ace that fit the bill and fell in £150 price range, but wanted opinions from Galaxy Ace users.
Thank you for your input so far, keep them coming...

Should be good enough for your mum. My mum is more than satisfied with it.

I guess you mom isnt a poweruser so this will be perfect for her. The price for the Galaxy S isnt much more expensive but Ace is good enough already.

if u want more power, mods, flash support, ports, ambient light sensor, bigger screen, higher resolution, water resistant, dust proof. all this at same price, go buy defy

Yes, guddu, regretting since you owned this phone?

Just had a look at the Motorola Defy, and it looks too clunky and ugly in my opinion.
As this is for my mum, it has to be appealing, but no compromise on specs, I am not looking for low range phones such as htc wildfire etc. like that.
I am mainly looking towards Samsung models but I would consider others that match the criteria and fit my budget, however I will have to rule out the 'Motorola Defy'. I am not worried about software, as lomg it is 2.2 and can upgrade to 2.3 or MIUI
Keep your suggestions coming it, I appreciate it very much so.

If u just want stock, samsung is pretty good on updates. Just this week alone we saw bunch of gingerbread official updates rolled out. Not to mention we had samfirmware and odin, with this two combined, ace is unbrickable for average user

[Q] Should I buy a Samsung Galaxy S2(Attain)

Or keep my Atrix? Is it going to be that good?

That's personal preference.. I like the amount of dev attention the atrix is getting. They both are great dual core phones. I use webtop also.. one choice there.

I will likely be making the switch for the larger screen. I will miss the LED Notifications and the Finger Print Scanner.
Of course this all assumes ATT prices it competitively. (doubtful)
I would buy a unlocked one but the center button is terrible the 4 android buttons are better. I have read the battery life is terrible on s2

Hold out for a Nexus Prime... supposedly coming in October. Pure Google experience! Just hope that the latest rumors that it is supposed to be exclusive to Verizon prove false... hard to believe Google would do this, alienating all current Nexus owners & devs.
i have had the samsung galaxy s2 for about two weeks, and although it has an amazing screen and its the fastest device i have ever use - it's battery is awful.
I switched back to the atrix for now.
for people waiting for the nexus prime, keep in mind it will almost be as big as the dell streak.. huuuuuuge. like a tablet phone lol. i cant wait to see what it is like though, i will most likely be waiting for it since i dont even use my phone for calls xD

you switched back just because of the battery life?.. personally i HATE samsungs phones, but the nexus S was a nice looking device, never used it but yeah. sgs2 looks nice as well, idk if id trade though.
I've been waiting for the SGS2 but I will probably add it as a second line and use it as my daily driver and then turn my Atrix into more of a PMP and Hotspot.
I'm also looking to see if they do end up releasing a SGS2 variant with the keyboard that's been leaked:
http://www.droid-life.com/2011/07/26/atts-samsung-galaxy-s-ii-outed-with-keyboard-in-tow/
The Atrix is perfect for me because of WebTop. I use it for work when I go to client's businesses, a lot more efficient that carrying a laptop. When (if?) the prime comes to AT&T, I'll use that for personal use, and switch SIMs for when I need the Atrix.

What do baboon balls look like when they are infected? LOl ewwwww
I thought about the same thing OP. Realistically the top phones out right now are the iPhone 4, Atrix, Galaxy S2, and Optimus 2x. And...the next wave of super phones that are coming out will be around October. This will include a bunch of devices that Samsung and Motorola, among others will release to compete with the iPhone 5.
My advice is keep your Atrix and make the switch once the next big transition to dual core phones happens because you'll be wasting money and it's pointless to switch for such little improvement.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
ill stay with my atrix, im patiently awaiting cm7 to come out of beta and have everything work cm7 hauls ass compared to any rom right now for atrix becuase its 100% blur free
Not worth it imo. You get a bigger screen with less res, worse battery, slightly better processor (but seriously Tegra2 is more than good enough esp overclocked), superthin if thats your cup of tea.
As others have said, wait till the next generation comes out Q4. Atrix to SGS2 is incremental at best. As I hate the SGS2 form factor and really love qHD resolution of atrix, it would be going backwards IMO. The only thing about the atrix that lets me down is the little bugs with VOIP/SIP stack and bluetooth as well (e.g. if you're using BT headphones for music, notification sounds keep coming out of phone not BT).
Now if you're not game to root and flash custom ROM then the balance tilts a fair bit, stock SW wise the SGS2 is noticeably faster than the stock atrix IMO.
^ only reason this is true is because sgs2 is stock clocked at 1.2ghz, but has terrible battery life. I am oc'd at 1.3ghz with better than stock atrix battery life

Overclocked and better than stock battery life??? How does that work?

[Q] LG Optimus One vs Samsung Galaxy Ace

Hi everyone, I got a question for you phone savvy people.
I currently have the LG Optimus One (P500) with Koodo Mobile (Sub-Section of Telus:Canada).
The Samsung Galaxy Ace has just become available and I've been strongly considering it. I've read a lot of reviews and just can't decide.
I use my phone mainly for texting and talking. I don't use data, and just use apps occasionally like Twitter whenever I have wifi. I do like to take pictures, but not videos. I don't use my phone for music or video.
So basically, I'm leaning towards switching to the Ace for $50.
What do you all think I should do?
*My phone is indeed rooted, and I much prefer the rooted version. I have no idea how rooting is on the ACE though.
Thank you.
i have had the SG ace for a few weeks and i have to say, its a nice SMALL phone
(this display is smaller than P500) ... but, its realy no comparable to P500.
The display has a lower resolution, you see LED pixel every time, and the performance is very pore.
Sorry to say that, but forget the SG Ace
+ Larger screen on the Ace.
+ Better camera on the Ace.
+ The Ace is a little smaller and 0.56 oz lighter. I'm mildly annoyed by how heavy the P500/P509 is, so I actually do care about this... a little.
- Less developer support for the Ace. This would concern me. LG must have sold a buzzillion of the P500/P509, so I assume it will continue to have good dev support.
- No 3G with my carrier with the Ace. I could easily live without that, but it's still a small con for me (obviously, this won't apply to everyone).
* Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Ace has an 800 MHz ARMv6 processor that currently can't be overclocked. That's a little better than an ARMv6 processor that can be overclocked to >700 MHz... but not much. I'm calling this a wash.
* The Ace has about the same (or is it less?) internal memory as the P500/P509, so I guess this is a wash.
* I don't know how battery life compares...?
I don't consider the Ace an upgrade. They're comparable phones... Phone Arena actually gave higher marks to both the Optimus One and Optimus T than they did to the Galaxy Ace, for whatever that is worth. User reviews are about the same at various sites like Reevoo (good for both phones). Personally, I wouldn't want to pay $50 to switch to a new phone that is almost exactly the same as the one that I have now. The biggest advantage of the Ace seems to be its 0.3" larger screen, and that's not worth $50 to me. ETA: It seems like the camera might be significantly better on the Ace, if that is important to you...

The Galaxy Ace has a 3.5" 320 x 480 display.

My friends have p500s and they envy my phone because of the slimness, 800mhz cpu and screen size.

Seriously? Your friends envy your phone because it is ~1.8 mm slimmer than their phones? Do your friends know that, unlike Galaxy Ace owners, they can overclock their phones? I would definitely prefer a 3.5" screen, but we're talking about two very similar phones here.
Well, i own 2 devices now, current one is X10 but my previous device was the P500
I do suggest to some of my friends which are newbies to android to use the Ace, but after months of usage, most of them report to me that, the Ace restarts a lot...
The main reason behind this is the small amount of RAM, IMO. When your RAM is running too low, the phone will restart itself, aka soft reboot to resolve the problem.
P500 has 512MB[428mb user accessible] while Ace only has 278, get the difference?
Ace does have a few advantage over the P500 though, the slightly more powerful CPU, better camera and flash[camera flash] too, plus you can take screenshot without root too[P500 has to do this via apps, w/o root]
If both were priced at a same price,i'll get Ace over P500, but $50 is just... too much?
BTW, why not considering upgrade to some new sony? xperia ray seems good to me! A QSD8255 under the hood, 8MP camera, everything is way awesome-er than P500 and Ace
You already have an Optimus One which is quite a decent small little phone. I would save your money and if you really wanted a new phone get a more higher end phone and skip the Ace. That's what I would do, but it's your decision. Are you happy with your Optimus and does it fulfill all your needs? If you are I would stay with the Optimus and save up for a more high end phone.
I wish I could get a Galaxy SII but my carrier doesn't have much coice and I don't think I could afford it! haha.
Only good android phones my carrier has: O1, ACE, Nexus S.
The rest are either Blackberry, garbage, or iPhone.

I'm also going to jump onto the SGSII bandwagon. I have the one from Sprint and I swear I can't make this phone lag. I've tried freaking everything and it just won't lag.
Since EL12 came out and fixed the LOS and game bug crash issues, I've had zero issues with it. So I assume that the sgsII from other providers are just as good (especially the ones with the exynos processors).
SGSII FTW!!!
Photon 4G. More of a business type phone. It holds signal much better than the SGSII. It's screen is 4.3 inches and a bit thicker. Great build quality. The development side is poor though as unlocking right now will break your 4G. I can also recommend the Droid Razr.
Why guys?

Or should I try to get it in the US then unlock it here?
I know that i can get a deal on a plan over there with the phone vs just getting the plan w/o a phone so that may make my choice easier
Everyone keeps saying get this or that, but not telling me why really.

Well I hate
1) I cannot do anything to the phone, ROMS etc
2) I am tired of paying for every app I want to use.
3) They wont unlock it so i can use it when i travel
4) The display is as boring as watching CNN, those little squares are so stupid
5) I miss my HTC screens where I check the weather and the sun shines, or rain drops hit my screen etc. I like to be entertained by my phone and the iPhone is just so linear in that regard.

[Q] Good or Bad?

Well hello bigger forums I came from the Ace family and I have plans on buying SII. I've heard good rumours about the phone and I've seen lots of interesting roms for it too (plus it's on main forum XD)
My options are HTC One X, GNote or SII and SII is quite leading in my eyes ATM.
Last question is, what is the price of SII in the US WITHOUT the contract?
Thanks for the responses guys, hope to see you soon
S24Lyfe
it depends on whether you're looking for an unlocked phone (being able to use any network) or if you wish to purchase it outright from your current service provider.
Unlocked it's about $500-600, and prices will range depending on your carrier if you want to go for option number 2.
I personally own the S2 and I can honestly say I love this phone.
Took less than 5 minutes to root, plenty (and I mean PLENTY) of custom roms being developed for it, and the hardware itself is just great (it outperforms the iPhone 4s) - I highly recommend it.
Just my two cents.

I'll be going next week so I need to make decisions now.
SGS2 is still a good phone. I had it for just over 10 months and loved it.
Got a HOX now and love that just as much. HOX has the HD screen which is lovely. SLCD2 vs AMOLED. Amoled has better blacks and such but I like the SLCD2 as well. Whites are better and not prone to screen burns.
Hardware wise both are beasts. Dual Core vs Quad Teg 3. DC is still fast enough not enough optimising quad at the moment. With TEG3 you get the range of Nvidia games without the need for Chainfire.
Design wise HOX wins, it's sexy and sleek but the SGS2 is lighter and thinner. Both feel good in the hand.
UI wise, Sense wins for me personally, but TouchWiz is not as bad it has it's own feature set.
If you want the cheaper device go for the SGS2 as price is decent. You'll be happy with any of your choices. The Galaxy range of devices are far easier to root with their unlocked bootloaders if you want to go with custom roms and such and development is very active with HOX it will get active when more devs have it. I'd still rate the Note over the SGS2 as it's a beast, if you can handle the size then definitely get the note.
I agree, the note is excellent.

That's because it was made as a midrange phone and not as a top end. Excellent for those who are loyal to LG products but can't afford the best of the best.

I personal love it very much, really like white version and it feel good in hand. Nothing special that I could come up with that is bad.
It have what you need, it look more expensive than it is hehe. Well downside I could come up with is camera, wish there was more MP but well look at the price, for the price this phone is really good. Oh one more thing, intern storage should have been larger, but if someone come up with root for this device you can easily use Link2SD.
Love battery life, it's excellent! It's so sexy XD

what about internal storage? how much memory do you have for installing apps ? I currentl have 1.5 gb on my SGS i9000 with the JB partition layout and to be honest it's more than enough ... can you give me some numbers and examples regarding battery life? thanks

That's because it was made as a midrange phone and not as a top end. Excellent for those who are loyal to LG products but can't afford the best of the best.
