| Best Phone Available?
My gf wants a new phone and I've been so out of the phone game for a few years now so don't really know shiet all. I know lots of you guys/girls are quite knowledgeable so help a brother out please.
Here are her simple list of wants/needs
- touch screen
- good for emails
- good battery life
- good reception
- not toooo big and heavy
Currently she is using the Torch but anybody who has used one knows it sucks. Yes, I know Iphone is an obvious choice but she would prefer anything but. I guess this leaves the choices open to Android phones?
Thanks in advance.

Galaxy s2 is best but its a monster in her hand.
Thats what she said.
Unfortunately most dual core androids are giant. however the phone wwighs nothing literally. Feela like the cheapest piece of crap but its really well made. 8MP camera, 1080p video recording, gorgeous big screen.
Battery life, not as good as iphone 4.
IPhone is best choice, if u can wait till Sept.
But why not iPhone?

Yeah, galaxy s 2 is the best phone that meets all of her criteria.
She could give the nexus s a shot, but battery life probably wont be up to par

Thanks for the suggestions. I don't know, I guess we just boycott the Iphone for some reason. Yea stupid, I mean if it's a good phone and meets her needs then that's the truth. I'll go check out the Galaxy and Nexus with her. Thank you

When people contest the Samsung Galaxy S II battery; it's a hit or miss thing. It may be the Bell version or the North American version but my Galaxy S II has be running it's battery life perfectly fine. I get AT LEAST a full day out of it. On a good charge, I'll get most 1.5 days out of it.
Besides, you really only NEED your phone to last you the entire day...You certainly don't want it to die on you during the day but as long as it lasts you up till you go to bed, then it's perfectly fine.

iPhone. Why boycott the most widely used and best supported phone on the market for no reason?
I haven't used an Android phone personally but I do think the Galaxy 2 is a great looking phone.

For the "average" user, syncing with iTunes is probably easier than with whatever you use with Android or RIM. I could be wrong but as far as I know...you connect your phone to the computer and it syncs automatically.
2. The only time I made a dent in my iPhone is when I dropped it.
...from about 4-5 feet up.
...onto concrete.
...on the corner.
And if you do, you just walk into the Apple store, tell them you have an antenna problem and they give you a new one. It's not fragile. The people that broke it are just retarded. I have an invisible shield and a standard, free Apple black bumper on mine now. I didn't have the bumper on before but otherwise, mine isn't even scratched.

The only real valid reasons I can see for not getting an iPhone is the battery is not user replaceable (well, not easily) and it doesn't do Flash but even then...
And if you crack a glass screen on an Android phone, I got news for you...that isn't going to be cheap either, I'd imagine.
