Would you please help me to make the best choice?
Hello Guys! How is it going? I'm a newbie here and i'm quite confused about the next phone that i'm gonna get.
The phones i choosed are the next:
Motorola Atrix 2 (1gb dual channel ram, 8mp, FullHD recording with single led flash, android 2.3.5 with Motorola's custom UI, 8 GB internal storage, Full qHD 540x960 resolution with 4.3" capacitive Multitouchscreen TFT LCD Screen with Corning gorilla glass, VGA Front facing camera, strong battery life with 1785mAh, TI OMAP 4430 with dual 1GHz processor and Power SGX540 GPU)
Its $850 dollards with 90 day of warranty, originally came from ATT from usa, sim free.
In the other side the Samsung Galaxy SII (4.3" Super AMOLED Plus with Corning Gorilla Glass capacitive Multitouchscreen, WVGA 480x800 resolution, 1GB of Single channel RAM, 16 GB of internal Storage, Android 2.3.3 with TouchWiz 4.0, 8MP Camera with single LED Flash, FullHD video recording, it has a Dual 1.2GHz Exynos Processor from SAMSUNG with MALI-400MP GPU, 1650 mAh Battery, 2.0 mp Front Facing Camera, Very thin by the way..
It's $594 dollards with 1 Year Full official warranty with Rovery secure.
The atrix is a HSPA+ Capable, both have 3G, 32GB Memory card support, Atrix has HDMI output and webtop support, SAMSUNG Offers possibility to read external storage devices and usb hubs with usb cable.
I'm worried about overheating, and its harware resistance
Wich one would you say that i should go with?
Thanks for your help, by te way i'm Argentinian, i live in the south of America.
Thats not an important fact but will male you understand why do i write english that bad.
I actually own a Motorola Defy and i Like it, never tried Samsung, however theres about 250 dollars of difference in the middle, dont want to waste more for something worst.. thank y!ou
Personally I would go with the Samsung device. A biased opinion because I own one myself but development for motorola is lower than my standards and I personally don't like their devices. There is a lot of Android development for the galaxy s 2 though.
-We do what we must because we can. For the good of all us, except the ones who are dead.-
Another vote for Samsung here.
¤The statement below is true.
The statement above is false.¤
Then Samsung Galaxy SII will be my next device, i'll make a thread after 10th december about what i think of it... Thanks you
get the s2 its the better buy
How much the SGS2 costs in your country? don't you tthink that is a bit expensive $594 dollards with 18 months contract of $50 dollards per month of service?
Motorola has poor support. From hoe they are handling the atrix, they area horrible company. Expect the atrix 2 to have lost support in the next 6 months.
Go with the sgs 2, webtop or not, webtop is still laggy. Sgs 2 is the smoothest android device out.
$1 gets you a reply
Go with the samsung!

In my country it's $550 for the sgs2 I also pay $80 for my monthly bill.

I'd go for the SGS II, here it's around $700 - $750, without any data plans or some of that stuff.

Lenovo IdeaPad (IdeaTab) A2109 @ Best Buy for $299
I’ve been looking for a tablet to replace my rooted Nook Color, but have been put off by all the threads here and elsewhere concerning screen lift and other problems with the Nexus 7.
Many of these comments come from Sr. members, not from new member trolls.
The newest Best Buy sale flyer lists the Lenovo IdeaPad A2109 tablet for $299.
Here are the highlights:
Tegra T30SL quad core @ 1.3 MHz
9” screen – 1280x800
1 GB RAM
16 GB flash ROM
ICS 4.04
1.3 MP front facing camera
3.0 MP rear facing camera
Mic
Stereo speakers w/ SRS sound
Micro HDMI port
USB 2.0 port
Bluetooth 3.0
8 hour battery life (6000 mah battery)
9.3”x6.5”x.46” – 20.1 oz
Quadrant score = 4047
Google play store & Lenovo app shop
What it does not have:
GPS
Compass
Micro SD card slot (same as the Nexus 7)
JB 4.1 w/ butter
Not rooted yet
After considering what is important to me, I chose the Lenovo. The 9” screen decided it you me.
My 60 year old eyes need all the help they can get.
So far, it’s available at both Best Buy & B&H photo. $299 both places.
Beware of the spec sheet on Lenovo.com; it shows this model as having a TI 4430 dual core processor @ 1.0 GHz.
There are apparently several models of this one for multiple markets.
Reviews are hard to come by, but there is more info @ gsminsider.com, including a link to a review in Chinese.
With so many new tablets being released, it’s difficult to choose. Good luck in finding the one that’s right for you.

There is still a Nexus 7 vs IdeaPad A2109 running,
but now that the A2107 is available (at least in some Asian countries)
it seems more logical to compare the Nexus 7 with this other 7" tablet rather than with the 9" one.
The A2107 in Hong-Kong is today at 3/4 price of A2109.
It should make the 16 GB version at about $225 in USA while the Nexus 7 is $249 .
A2107 details: lenovo.co.uk , including 3G and microSD port
A preview can be found on trustedreviews.com or asking Google

I got the baby - the Lenovo A2107 - in my hands at the moment... It's quite a nice piece of hardware... Quite responsive, web browsing with the stock browser is fine, videos are played correctly...
The slate fits quite nicely in the hands... The size is quite close from my GTab 7", just a bit slimmer.
The display is good, good enough to read a pdf on the go (I don't really like tabs to read ebooks for a long time). I haven't seen the Nexus yet, but I feel that, with proper resellers, it could find its way to a number of homes...
I'd easily get used to it... Too bad it's not mine...
Considering my screen decided to crack without me throwing it against the wall or dropping it or anything like that, I'm looking at alternatives to the Nexus 7 now since I'm not sure ASUS will own up to their obvious design flaw that caused the issue. The only thing that catches my eye is the processor. Is it a dual core or quad core? I'm having trouble finding definitive references to it online. I'd assume at that price it'd be a dual, but who knows... and the resolution is a little :/ but other than that the rest of it is enticing.
Lenovo IdeaTab A2107 specs:
http://device.androidcommunity.com/ideatab-a2107-3183/
Video hands-on:
The A2107 is a successor to 1107, and has similar specs & pricing. The main hook is its built-in 3G and dual-SIM support, which matters more for regions outside of the US. Otherwise, features and specs are lackluster, with MediaTek MTK6575 SoC and 1024x600 TN LCD, and aren't competitive with the Nexus 7.

Not competitive? Depends...
The processor is maybe not the one of the Nexus 7 but the same we find in the Samsung Galaxy Note and all reviews said this phone/tablet was really responsive.
The screen is maybe not the excellent one of the Nexus 7 but is a good one. Not every one is fan of these high resolutions. For me it's mean I having to zoom most of the time on Nexus 7 to be able to read...
Final point is that the 3G Nexus 7 will be probably 40% or $100 more expensive that this model and will still not have microSD.
Not such a bad choice.
After hearing about these Lenovo tablets and having my Nexus 7 screen randomly crack without dropping I decided to look further into a Nexus 7 replacement. Here are the two ultimate bummers I've found about these Lenovo tablets.
2107 = dual core, not quad core
2109 = quad core, but TN panel
Maybe I'm just severely spoiled, but really? A TN panel in a brand new 2012 tablet?

The 2107 has a single core MediaTek 1GHz CPU. The Galaxy Note has a 1.4GHz dual core Exynos. I don't know how crappy the MediaTek is (never even heard of it before) but my gut tells me there is a world of difference between that 1GHz single core and the 1.4GHz dual core SoCs.

When we complain about the Nexus 7 screen, it's usually in relation to other high end IPS displays. However even with is substandard color quality, the Nexus 7 IPS display at 1280x800 is going to be a LOT better looking than a TN 1024x600 display.
And you have it backwards. Higher resolution displays mean you don't have to zoom in more to read. Lower resolution means the text is less clear forcing you to do the zooming more often.

It may not be a bad deal if you have to have 3G on your tablet for $230 (or something). This is going to be a small number of people. Most could probably just tether with a phone and save money on the extra data plan.
But this is a pretty low end tablet and not even in the same ballpark as a Nexus 7. I can't imagine why anyone would want this, except for the possible need for 3G on a very cheap tablet.

From what I was able to dig up, the 2107 isn't even dual core, it's a single core. And a TN panel on a tablet is an instant deal breaker.

The ten panel isn't as bad as you think. Still 170 ppi and decent colors. Just the viewing angles is all. Which isn't as bad since its not like you'll be frequently looking at it from an angle. Plus your friends won't be able to see what you're doing, which can be good lol

Hard to argue against a Nexus tablet IMO, unless the other tablet being compared is just as powerful but somehow a lot cheaper.
lag
Its just me or some1 else saw a lag when the guy rotate the screen? (creepy)
CWM/CM?
Is there any chance to run CyanogenMod 9+ on this marvel?
I've seen a post about a port of CM on Lenovo tablet, but I fear it's for a different unit.
Any other info?
how is the camera? [email protected]

Have you tried the rear camera? Is it Autofocus? I'm looking to get one and use if for detailed fairly close-up shots. I just got a Galaxy Tab 2; the camera is fixed focus and not good at all for anything close up. Also, the Tab 2 does not allow programs/aps on the miniSD card. How about the speakers and the battery so far? thanks!

Regarding the controls, it's unlikely that they would properly fit anything except a Wikipad, and I could be wrong but it looks like there's some type of connector that it plugs into on the Wikipad.
