Well. I plan to get a Galaxy S2 and im wondering, if its unlocked/my network could i put my current SIM in it and have it fully functional? Im on contract for another 18 months and i dont want 2 going out.
Thank you
Please dont tell me to get S3 as money doesnt come easy to 14 year olds..

Different countries have different policies on unlocked phones. It doesn't depend on which phone you use, but where you get it from.

I use my trusty ace, emulators and eclipse on my Linux rig to develop.
SII are awesome, but the Ace is fine for devving.

S2 is old yet much mor superior for me than others. Note may have higher clock and better resolution but it's just too bulky. The HTC One X didn't put much of a good fight either. It's stuck with almost the same level in my eyes as the GNexus since they have no SDCard support which is really a must for me. As for the Iphone4s it's good and all but it is apple and I despise apple cause theyre closed source and everything needs to be paid and it's really expensive. So yeah SII is good.
yeah about the OP, I have the same question (or at least I think so) Im planning to buy an SII here on the US directly from sammy so its unlocked, I'm wondering if I can put my sim card for the philippines. IMO It will work since my sister's phone bought from the phils worked with a telus sim card. I dont know the case for SII though

I'd want to take it everywhere with me, and yet would feel very uncomfortable about it being in my pockets. I'd have to always think about having a jacket or something to put it in, and then constantly worry about it falling out or getting crushed. I like to at least have the illusion that I am 'free' of my phone....sometimes.
I wonder what would happen if Apple went open-source ?
Ace-ing all tests.

It would be the end for android or maybe not yet since Apple items are expensive
The flipping lawyers would all be flocking to the poor-house or more likely sueing apple to put a stop to such restraint of there lucrative trade.

In specs the ace is better. In reality iphone is smother, maybe not faster but smother. The wifi on the iphone is shockingly slow. But what you you really need to consider is do you want open source or not. You can jailbreak an iphone but its not great, you'll never get the same as android. Iphone is for showing off, ace is for funtion. I have both and use my ace. Every now and then i boot the iphone for games, but thats getting less and less.

The 3gs has ARM V7 which makes it faster really.
But in terms of operating system android is for the adventurous.
My girlfriend has the 3GS and is always complaining about the lack of functions compared to my Ace.
Since she had a HTC Magic before, she knows of what Android is capable and is always saying that iOS runs smooth, but is for idiots.
Tap-a-talked from my Galaxy Ace
ace wins hands down......iphone 3 has no chance heres proof http://www.compare-cellphones.org/Samsung-Galaxy-Ace-vs-Apple-iPhone-3GS..
and as for iphone 4s then if you have an updated ace like 2.3.4 or 2.3.7 then the ace also easily beats the iphone 4s(ps my friend had a 4s but after i updated my ace he was so humiliated he went and bough a galaxy s2 just to compete with me lol)
...and the winner is.. tanrararan..

if we are debate on it
i was about to say the same thing how has this turned from a iphone v ace into a where and how to fix your ace???
Hmm, yes, the options you get with this open os are great! But,someone said it already,the iPhone is for dummies, anyone can get it and use it without lots of action.
The Ace came with stock Rom and yes, it was useable but not really rocking. You have to read and learn till you get what most of us here have now ... a rockin Ace
But that's not Samsung's work,it's the work of the great Developers on this OS.

that's good news...it means that samsung is considering ACE a strong card...that also means that is doing well sales wise... that means that as long as ACE is a good player in mobile business then developers will continue messing with the phone... that means official cyanogen and maybe one day ICS on our ACE!!!!
in the UK the ace is quite popular and they have sold quite a bit especially on three. Its Samsungs highest selling mid range device

I've had mine since Sept. I cannot understand why they are so popular. Low ram, low Res screen, low onboard memory. It will struggle badly for firmware updates and 95% won't get official CM9 or ICS. I bought a ZTE Crescent today. Much cheaper at £99 and already find it much better. ICS being worked on and phone has only been out here two weeks.

To be honest i love my Ace, with stock ROM it can be a bit boring but that's why u gotta love Android the possibilities are endless. I wont compare my device to any other and when i buy my Nexus, the ACE will still be my everyday phone, mainly for its size.
say Galaxy Y in pink, I want my SGA in red.
Btw, check Galaxy Ace Hugo

Have you seen the screen of Wildfire S? It feels like ants having a picnic, you can't see anything clearly.
And Sense is 100x bloatware, it is not in any way faster than SGA, our stock bloaty firmware is much lighter than HTC Sense
And not to mention the battery on that phone is much lower than SGA

hey guys,
i'm currently doing some research for the 14 y/o brother of a friend, whose parents have just allowed him to get a smart phone.
i only ever bought nexus devices and would recommend him the nexus s, but unfortunately his limit is ~180 euro and the nexus s is ~270 euro here in germany. thus i need some advice.
he can't decide between the galaxy ace and the wildfire s. which one would you pick? i'm looking for things like easily unlockable bootloader, stock android and cyanogenmod support. but those things seem to only be found in older, cheaper devices.
what would you say has the best bang of the buck and is future proof and could possibly get cyanogenmod support?
thanks,
x
I would go for the galaxy ace because it has more development.
Sent from my HTC_A510c using xda premium
yup, that's my observation so far. there's even an unofficial cm7 port for it.
until i can come up w/ an official supported device in the price class, i'm gonna tell him to go for the ace, or if possible pay 100 bucks more for the nexus s.
Yeh galaxy ace if you want to root it, wildfire s has not been cracked open yet so has very little support

I would go with ace.
However i found only one issue where you will need to remove the battery to get it back to work. When you enable the wifi and leave the phone idle for a long time, the screen goes blank and none of the button seems to work. You will have to pull the battery to fix it.
Lol looks like someone prefers form over function.

I was just saying that not any samsung phone could "fit the bill" .
Galaxy Ace for sure. It has more support, plus, he's 14, I'm sure he and his friends will care about the looks a lot. Teenagers are very judgmental really.
I have the oportunity to replace my galaxy ace with samsung galaxy s i9000.
What are your felings on which one to go for.
I own the galaxy ace and the samsung galaxy s i9000 is up for £150
I choosße sgs for sure

The sgs is legendary dude it has awesome dev support( so does Ace ) and it is cm's favorite child it will get the next android update via cm10 definetely
u should buy it ...only thing is it doesnt have flash but who uses that anyway??
Sgs worth more than ace anyday
and its a kinda of insult to sgs that u are comparing it to a crap phone like Ace
Sent from my GT-S5830
lol you all seem to hate the ace.
KK well i will lok into it. Im not really interested in changing roms as i have returned to stock on ace for battery but hopefully battery will not be a problem on s I9000.
How come the galaxy s i9000 is not sold in shops like orange, this isnt because of any problems right?
Ace have only two benefits against S:
-flashlight
-looks batter then S
But S is much faster, and have wonderful dev support.
Was sold in shops but its quite old now so has been replaced......

Its worthless anyway as the Galaxy S Advance has come out in somewhat the same price range. Anyways I dont have money to buy it and will have to stick to CyanogenMod 9 to make my phone good. Its pretty old news anyway!

Galaxy S advance seems really good, but samsung are cheating us? Why this really new phone only run Gingerbread. There is no insjrance at all that this phone will be upgraded to ICS. Wait and see, but if the Galaxy S 3 is the only Samsung phone running ICS now., i'll certainly move to the competitor... Maybe Htc...
Enough is enough, samsung is going too far...
