I finally gave in and bought the Samsung Galaxy S i9000. And I must say it has been the best phone purchase ever.

Other Options

IPhone4 was not even in the running because IMO the unlocked version is way more expensive than other phones without giving that much more in terms of features and hardware. However, I am going to add it to the comparison where I can.

The other option I considered was HTC Desire. Read on to find why the Galaxy S won out over the HTC Desire.

The Screen

Galaxy S: 4″ Super AMOLED
HTC Desire: 3.7″ AMOLED/changed to S-LCD
IPHONE 4: 3.5″ Retina Display

The 4″ size alone beats the other two phones hands down. The Galaxy S screen is just fabulous! In fact it is the screen the blew me away when I first saw the phone.

I have had a Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 since November 15 and have been playing with it for the past 12 days. So far I am loving the phone.

First Impression

When I first saw the box, I was quite surprised. I had expected it to be bigger for some reason. The next surprise was the phone itself. It looked so small. And if that wasn’t enough I got another shock on sliding out the keyboard. The keys are so small but not in a bad way. It’s just that the photographs give you the impression of the phone being a bit bigger for some reason.

No I am not selling mine. I am enjoying it way too much to do that

To cut a long story short, I asked my cousin in the UK to get me an Xperia. We ordered from a shop which had it in stock. Turns out our shipment is delayed and my cousin being unsure of it being delivered in time (flight on Nov 14), ordered a back-up option on Ebay.

Now we have two phones on the way LOL.

I am so sure I am not the only going mad trying to decide which of these smart phones to get.

Sadly I have been trying to change my phone for the past 18 months and just didn’t find any that will fit the bill. And now 18 months later I am finding way too many options.

IPHONE

I have been eying the IPhone ever since it came out. I was unable to get it as it was carrier bound and only available in the US. This is the reason why I even waited 18 months to change my phone hoping they will release it in my country in just another 2 months. Well all those 2 months have added up.
