Guest mrmonster Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Hello Troops, Long time observer of the skate forums after some advice if you would be so kind. I currently have a skate running Atomic but have been offered a Samsung Galaxy S. Would you go with the Samsung over the skate? I believe from google that ics is quite well progressed on the Samsung? Any opinions much appreciated. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest timfimjim Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Depends on the price. I'd think about it if it were under £120, but nothing more. If you're thinking of upgrading you should look at the Huawei Ascend G300. £100 from Vodafone, good specs. Although the SGS has better dev support (at the moment!)

Yeah should be well under the 120 mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hugobosslives Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 the samsung is a better phone but for me it would depend on dev support of the device. without looking I don't know. but how far long is the ICS development for the device? has it got a reasonably large support base on here or xda/similar?

Guest timfimjim Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Cheers for the reply. Yeah should be well under the 120 mark. Tempting then! The screen is a bit smaller (4inch i think) but it's AMOLED so much better technology (more contrast), a faster newer processor, gorilla glass for the screen (tough). better build quality in general. Could sell your skate on ebay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest smfd Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 (edited) Don't even think twice in changing.... The hardware is incomparably better and the community (although I think the skate community is GREAT!! Thank you Tillaz!!!!!) is much bigger... The phone is more widespread, and so you have much more alternatives.... Is the case you are reporting, you can sell your skate for 80 to 100 (if it is in good condition!!!) Also the cpu is a ARM Cortex-A8 in comparison to armv6 of the skate. Just that is a HUGE diference!!!! Hello Troops, Long time observer of the skate forums after some advice if you would be so kind.

Guest mrmonster Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Thankyou for all your replies. The dury looks pretty decisive for the Samsung Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Diablik4c Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Where you did you find Samsung Galaxy S for 120 quids? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mrmonster Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 Have now moved onto the Galaxy S which is a super phone. Had great times on this forum and with the skate itself. Old phone is on ebay for 24 hours if anyone interested? (If this comment breaks any rules, please delete mods) All the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest iReece Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Galaxy s, twice the power, twice the dpi, twice the sexiness. But also twice the price. The skate can EASILY handle ics, I'm using it right now. No flag, even when not overclocked. But the galaxy s is an overall nicer phone for the added price.
