The_Munchmaster Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 I had a Nokia E72 (only about 6 months old) but when home in Scotland last month I put it on the roof of my hire car and drove off. I found it later but by that time numerous other cars had driven over it. So I bought a cheapo phone to get by and now that I'm back in Dubai I'm looking for something else. I could get another E72 but as it's been replaced by the E6 I don't feel like getting an "old" model and it has a touch screen as well as a querty keyboard. Alternatively I'm considering something completely different in the form of the Samsung Galaxy S2 which looks awesome. Anyone got either of these phones? Of course I could just save my money and keep the cheapo phone I bought as it does everything I need it to do, i.e., make calls and send texts.

Hamokhamok Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Whats the cost of the Samsung Galaxy 2 if buying it alone from any package deal etc.? Isn't this the new one from Samsung ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Munchmaster Posted July 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 It is the new one from Samsung. Not sure about price, probably ~2K Dhs here ($500). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamokhamok Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Thanks. Was thinking of getting one but they all seem to be sold as a package here in Ireland. I think it'll turn out to be more expensive here too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamui Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 It is the new one from Samsung. Not sure about price, probably ~2K Dhs here ($500). My brother had one of the most recent Nokia's and replaced it completely frustrated with an Android phone. All current Nokia smart phones run on the completely outdated Symbian OS. Its development has been stopped and it will be replaced by Windows 7 at the end of the year or so. Therefore I think it isn't the best time to buy a Nokia smartphone at the moment.

Khun_Kong Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 I got the Galaxy S2 about 5 weeks ago. Fantastic phone. Battery life suffers if you try to keep all features turned on, especially keeping the brightness up on its massive screen. Fast as hell, with no lag/skip anywhere! Records in HD and has 8 mp cam. Volume is a bit low. Expensive, too. About $750 US. TRUE has it for 18,900 THB, if you go with a 12 month data plan at about 500-650/month. I tried to buy a 2nd one a couple of days ago, but the TRUE shop at Siam was sold out. The other TRUE shop's computers were down. They said they could take one over to the other shop and sell it there, but, I swear to fucking God, they told me it would take 2 DAYS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamokhamok Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 There seems to be different versions of the Samsung Galaxy S II --- see attached re Other Versions. http://www.expansys.ie/samsung-i9100-galaxy-s-ii-32gb-209115/ Anyone can enlighten me please? Is it a case of different storage ?? One says 16Gb the middle one says 16GB + 16 GB and the right hand one says 16GB + 32 GB. Any comments on the price too. Wonder would it be wise to try and buy one in England (I'm in Ireland) or Northern Ireland. Anyone with experience of buying one outright in either place. Thanks.

Khun_Kong Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Same phone. One with no SD card, 1 with 16 Gb and the other with 32 Gb. All have 16 Gb internal memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
