I think there judging overall, including cost etc, and I think wrt price/performance/features it's justifiably 1st

The ZTE Blade (San Fran) was popular because of it, and the Skate (OMC) is it's newer bigger brother

OMC is not bad dude. Excellent phone for the price but I have to agree with you the list is stupid.

It's not bad, but not particularly good either.

The fact the Galaxy S II isn't even on the list is proof that it has been written by a clueless person.

Have you used one? :confused:

Yes, it's good for the money but it's a cheap and cheerful phone - it's what I expected.

I think Dave is right even though he can't count

Don't knock it till you try it. Everything is on a budget - The screen is crap, sound crap but performance is relatively good whereas the SGII sits there wasting juice with its 2 cores

I don't like cheap crap, so what's the problem?

What do you mean about wasting juice? Please elaborate.

I don't wasting my dollars on something that will be extinct in 6 months time either

At least the depreciation on the OMC is going to be a lot less than an SGII. Juice as in battery life

You know dual-core is actually good for the battery, right?

So your logic is to never buy anything nice as it will be replaced at some point? How odd.

No I didn't, please elaborate as my SG2 sucked ****

Robbo · 19 Dec 2011 at 13:21

Not because it was dual-core, I can tell you that much.

Well firstly the dual core chips are made on a smaller process so are inherently more efficient.

If memory serves me the Galaxy S1 had a single core made on 45nm process where as the S2 has 2 cores made on a 40nm. I could be slightly off on exact numbers but I cba to search

Secondly they have the possibility of reducing the amount of CPU clocks taken to complete a task and as such using less battery but this is entirely software dependant.

Thought I'd play with this and am very happy with the results .... unlocked and flashed with Ice Armor III

What ROM do you run ?
