Hello, I am new to the community here at maemo but I have been using the facilities of the community through THE n900 for for some time. So lets get started.

I had the pleasure of having a Samsung Galaxy S2 for about a Week. And here is a bit of a story and a review.

A friend of mine, very fond of Android took a day of usage of Galaxy S2.

1. He seemed to be very excited about the 8 MP camera.
(People who knows photography knows MP doesn't matter)
And I kept thinking I got fCamera on n900 which lets me control "Depth of field" that can put many DSLR to shame not to mention shutter speed and what not.

2. He really likes the screen size.
hmm, I checked some specs and it seems
Galaxy S2 has today
800 x 480 pixels, 4.3 inches (~217 ppi pixel density),
while my years old n900 has
800 x 480 pixels, 3.5 inches (~267 ppi pixel density).
Seems as if same resolution spread over a large area.

3. GS II has no FM transmitter. Me and my friends hang out a lot and we really don't know which car we are gonna use the next minute, having a FM transmitter helps a lot.

4. "The wonder Galaxy S2 touchscreen" as my friend calls it. Then I showed him MY PAINT. N900 comes with one of the most sophisticated touchscreen with TILT and Pressure sensitivity. I design 3D models and half the time I sketch what will come to life on the n900. This if it was produced by WACOM would cost a zillion dollars. Man I can even run Blender 3D on it.

5. Galaxy S2 has thousands of apps my friend says. I say, I don't need 99,900+ fart apps. I can run an entire OS (easy debian), Code on the GO, program on LISP, what can you do?

6. Galaxy S2 has good voice commands. I am like, dude.... I would rather take 5 seconds to do it rather than have a voice command women repeat what I said for 10 minutes and then make a mistake.

7. Galaxy S2 has a great browser he says with tilty zoomy thing. I said: native microB will destroy every emulation browser you got with mobile optimization. When n900 logs in to a site, it considers itself a PC.

8. Galaxy S2 has Dual core processors and 1GB ram.
hmmm.... Intamaresting. ......
Then how come the n900 runs faster?

9. Games and apps. The android market is full of it. Then I showed him the 3000 game roms I got in my n900 from SEGA.

n900 is a PC not a phone. Its not a toy like the iPhone. This is from an era when people were thinking of getting things done on the go rather than waste time. There are three kinds of people. People who use a software, people who market it and people who makes it. n900 belongs only to the latter group. THE END...

**Update:
My dear friend made a come back with some n900 bashing points:
1. Battery Life
2. Pinch to "zoom and crap" is missing.
3. Hardware is older ( spec wise ) .

My answer:
I told him to check out this video
