Yep. Nice Review. I just hope Samsung starts to ramp up production of these babies to send to the US already.

its funny that one of the comments claims that the iphone 5 will be much better than the sgs 2...
sgs 1 even beats iphone 4 hands down and the diffrences between ip5 and ip4 is most likely just another camera

read up on some rumors - iP5 will be thinner, slightly bigger edge-to-edge screen, dual core CPU, and I am sure a bunch of other cutting edge features. Apple is a respected power, can't deny that.

Still, nothing more than a dedicated blogger could do - Where are the measurements?
  • Wifi: maximum range and throughput over range
  • Cell radio: quality of GSM / UMTS reception in known good and known bad spots
  • GPS: TtFF cold and hot, accuracy over time, both stationary and moving; comparison to a reference standalone GPS, ...
  • Audio: freq response, noise floor, harmonic and non-harmonic distortion, stereo crosstalk etc.
  • Screen: brightness (min and max), contrast, color accuracy
  • Camera: see any decent digicam review (but they did have full-res shots, yay!)
I'm not saying build a testing lab, but once upon a time the difference between an amateur review and a professional one used to be the testing equipment and methodology employed.

Thinner, I don't know, it's gotten a bit ridiculous by now. The phones are getting hard to hold as it is. Same for edge-to-edge - where am I supposed to hold the thing? Even with current gen phones I manage to obscure the screen or even trigger something with my hand.
So I think we're golden!

Don't get me wrong - I love my desire but I think its a bit overrated by the techradar guys=)
