No excuses to not go OLED anymore - Samsung Galaxy S2 shows the way

[ped]

That is a little like saying you "only" won based on the score. Resolution is the game. Having perfectly crisp letters on my iPhone 4 is so nice. Really it beats all the other categories you are talking about. I don't know if AMOLED can be made better, but if I'm seeing individual pixels with my naked eye, than the screen loses to the iPhone.

This is such nonsense. If there was a shred of legitimacy to this reasoning (that iPhones (or any phone) needs 300 ppi) then why is it an iPad, at 8 times the surface area (or more) runs at almost exactly the same resolution as an iPhone 4 but is perfectly good (great even)? You do know that people used computer monitors that were 17" or more diagonal at 1024x768 and were perfectly happy with it, right? So if an iPad is great at 1024x768 and 9.7" diagonal why does anyone think they're making a valid point by pooh-poohing any pixel density lower than the iPhone 4 has at 3.5" diagonal?

Cost comes to mind.

Also, using a phone a few inches away from your face vs monitor that's a few feet away isn't the same thing now is it? PPI becomes less important at distance.

There's a lot of legitimacy to his statement, actually.

Ok, I'll grant you the proximity point. Though I don't hold a phone that close - more like a foot away so I can focus on it.

I would never buy a phone made by Samsung.

If it is like any other Android device I have tried I'll pass. Battery life has been horrible with my experience. Plus I tried the Samsung Charge and that phone felt so cheap. Not sure I'm a fan of Samsung right now.

I had an SGS 2 thinking this would be the phone to satisfy my curiosity with android and my boredom with IOS well it didn't work and I'm back on I4 happier than ever
