I just got the samsung galaxy note and i can't find a single thing i don't love about it. I've barely touched my computer since i got the phone cos i can do everything on it.
^^^ What wiggal said - my S2 is brilliant - not only as a smart phone but it also gets reception where many other phones struggle (certainly better than an iPhone on the same network).
The daughter's boyfriend offered to buy her an S2 for her birthday (he has one) she turned him down as she thought the price ridiculous for what she wanted to use it for.
