All of those are debatable. You may prefer the way it looks, but it doesn't make it a fact. what is a fact though, is the higher resolution and glasses free 3D.

yes, I know they are 2 megapixels. And I can guarantee you it won't be 90% in 2D. I would guess 90% in 3D. Since the phone can convert a 3D picture to 2D whenever you want, I would be surprised if anyone actually took 2D pictures most of the time. certainly not 90% of them.

I am pretty sure most people don't limit their video chats to ONLY Sprint customers. And limited space as in a 4 inch screen. What good is a 2 megapixel camera for video chats if the other poerson only has a 4 inch wvga screen? Again, please tell me the advantage that this 2 megapixel front camera has. You have never seen a picture from the HTC, and gave the sammy a definite advantage based entirely on the extra megapixels that will never be used.

Well then, I guess a so freaking what is in order. I don't want encrypted nand, and neither do all the people who just flooded HTC's facebook for an encrypted bootloader. It's a bad thing, not an advantage.

You are dead wrong. Like I said, if Samsung wants to do business in the USA, they have to follow USA rules. And don;t kid yourself, if the USA told Samsung "We are banning all of your products in this country." Samsung would be on the verge of going out of business. They do the lions share of their business here. And if they were banned, their competitors would pick up that market share. So as Samsung got weaker, their competitors would simultaneously get stronger.

Again, running out of inventory is not the same thing as using an illegal monopoly to gain an unfair advantage. If Samsung runs out of screens, thats fine. If Samsung tells HTC "We know you ordered a bunch of these chips and we agreed to provide them, but we decided to throw away the million Galaxy S 2 phones we made and use your order in our phones instead, so that way our phone is better than yours..." That is illegal. And if they did that, the WTO and ITC would be all over samsung.

The USA does not dictate, no. But the WTO and the ITC both DO dictate all over the world. You are totally wrong about this and I suggest you research it a bit before you comment any further. Samsung can be a monopoly in Korea all they want. But as soon as they start selling products outside of Korea they are bound to international laws and rules.

Are you kidding me? That happens like every day in the USA. Get charged with a crime, take a plea bargain, and get a slap on the wrist for punishment. Man, look at pretty much any celebrity that gets charged with a crime. Even Lindsay Lohan got like 10 chances before she finally went to jail. It literally happens every day.

your gonna tell me HTC did this? cause I'm pretty sure they didn't...

HTC didn't need to do that because they already had official support from Cyanogen anyway. I don't know if you are aware of this (probably are) but Cyanogen ROMs did not have Galaxy S support. HTC phones always have, and always will have Cyanogen support.

There are other things that matter such as refresh rate, color gamut reproduction, total colors, efficiency, contrast..there is mroe to thigns then just higher resolution and 3d that are just as important if not more important...

yes, I know they are 2 megapixels. And I can guarantee you it won't be 90% in 2D. I would guess 90% in 3D. Since the phone can convert a 3D picture to 2D whenever you want, I would be surprised if anyone actually took 2D pictures most of the time. certainly not 90% of them.

most people use facebook to post pics..or places like imageshack..do they support 3d image format? and when you convert them to 2d..will it be 2mp or 3mp?

I am pretty sure most people don't limit their video chats to ONLY Sprint customers. And limited space as in a 4 inch screen.

You do realize skype for example where most of video chatting is done is PC to PC..and Cell phone to PC is going to be like half the convos? not just cellphoen to cellphone..not to mention some people have tablets with higher resolutions too..

Well then, I guess a so freaking what is in order. I don't want encrypted nand, and neither do all the people who just flooded HTC's facebook for an encrypted bootloader. It's a bad thing, not an advantage.

*facepalm* Encrypted nand IS NOT bootloader related..what it means is YOUR personal data is encrypted to prevent people from stealing it if your phone gets a virus or is stolen or some app tries to get more info then it should..its is VITAL for all business users..as things like this can prevent your corporate secrets from being stolen! It also helps individuals protect their information..

They do the lions share of their business here. And if they were banned, their competitors would pick up that market share. So as Samsung got weaker, their competitors would simultaneously get stronger.

First of all..even if the entire USA were to ban every single samsung product..samsung would not go out of business..it would definitely hurt yes...but not out of business..most of Samsungs sales are outside the US...

Now..Samsung is a monopoly outside the US..and have support of their government..this gives them advantages...the US will not intervene in another countries affairs..its not their place to..all US will regulate is Samsung USA branch...this branch does not sell components though..Samsung Korea does..which is outside of their regulation.

Again, running out of inventory is not the same thing as using an illegal monopoly to gain an unfair advantage. If Samsung runs out of screens, thats fine.

no thats not what happens..here is what happens..Samsung invents new technology..makes the chips (these chips ARE NOT FOR SALE) and uses them in their OWN devices..HTC and other OEMs CANNOT buy this component for a few months after..but it takes time to plan..hence they either use older components or order from someone else...either way samsung has an advantage by using unreleased components that no one else can get their hands on.

Are you kidding me? That happens like every day in the USA. Get charged with a crime, take a plea bargain, and get a slap on the wrist for punishment. Man, look at pretty much any celebrity that gets charged with a crime. Even Lindsay Lohan got like 10 chances before she finally went to jail. It literally happens every day.

no plea bargain, he admitted it flat out and is not getting punished...hes just above the law there :/

HTC didn't need to do that because they already had official support from Cyanogen anyway. I don't know if you are aware of this (probably are) but Cyanogen ROMs did not have Galaxy S support. HTC phones always have, and always will have Cyanogen support.

Ok, your misunderstanding again..

first of all Samsung already had CM support, not as long as HTC of course but HTC was the first device Cyanogen owns hence HTC got support, that said many devices outside of HTC had support as well just lesser known brands, Cyanogen now own an LG phone...

second of all, this isn't limited to CM..they sent A BUNCH of free phones out to developers...so now developers dont need to beg for donations to get their new phone so they can develop for it.. Samsung will provide them with new phones...no OEM did this before...and whats better is if they brick their phones..Samsung has top notch warranty...aka I can take my phone and smash it against the wall and Samsung will replace it to me free of charge...HTC will give me the option of buying a new one at FULL retail value..or hold my phone hostage until I pay them 27$ for return shipping...

And if you read the comments on engadget and the other sites who published this..a HUGE amount of people said they are now gonna skip the Evo 3D to get the SGS 2 when it hits the US because of this...

Feel free to list them then. Don;t tell me efficiency matters unless you are going to list the efficiency of both devices. We know the Evo 3D has a higher resolution and glasses free 3D. These are big deals.

I don't know how many megapixels they convert at. But I can assure you it is plenty enough for facebook since you keep saying that is the only thing people use their camera for.

And you do realize skye isn't showing a 2 megapixel video stream, right? So, again, tell me why the front camera is enough for you to label it an advantage on the sammy when you have never even seen a pic from the HTC. You said it was based on extra megapixels, but I have yet to hear os a use case where those extra megapixels will ever be used by anyone. The thing is designed for video chat which doesn't display nor stream a 2 megapixel video stream.

It is not VITAL for business, lol. Do you even know what you're talking about? Tell me this: if an IT guy has a hundred devices to prepare and hand out to an entire department, and all of them will be identical... Say he gets a nand backup of the first device. He then tries to restore that nand on the other 99 devices. Will this work on the Sammy? Is that a good thing or bad thing? Do you think this would work on the HTC? Is that a good thing or bad thing?

Maybe not totally out of business, but it would be a huge, huge blow.

Again, please research this before you comment any further. You are dead wrong. Samsung is absolutely under the authority of both the WTO and the ITC. And I am getting tired of correcting your blatantly false claim to the contrary. Again, research it before you comment any further on it. YEs, Samsung is free to do whatever they can get away with in Korea. But once they sell a single product in another country, they are under the authority of the WTO and ITC. Period. This is a fact.

That is totally fine for them to do. It doesn't give them any advantage though. It's not like Samsung is the only company making components. HTC is free to buy whatever components they want from whoever they want.

That is exactly what a plea bargain is. The accused pleads guilty- aka admits he committed a crime. Seriously, every single day countless people in the USA plead guilty and don't go to jail. And the more money you have, the more serious crimes you can get away with.

First of all, CyanogenMod is a TEAM, not a person. There are several people involved that own many different devices. It's not one person who happens to own this type of phone. Secondly, I never claimed that HTC devices were the ONLY devices supported by Cyanogen. I said the Galaxy S was not. As you can see here:

Again, HTC already has developer support. They didn't need to do this. All of the major devs out there already have HTC ROMs. Samsung is the one playing catch up here, not HTC.

Care to place a bet on which one sells more? Just because a few people on engadget said they will get the Galaxy S 2 doesn't mean anything. I guarantee HTC will sell a whole lot more phones than Samsung, just like they always do. And there will be plenty of custom ROMs for every one of the HTC phones, just like there always is. Samsung is the one playing catch up here. And how ironic that you said HTC was just catching up, at best, to what every other OEM did several years ago. Clearly, HTC is not the one playing catch up here.

Please tell me why I should care about this nonsense. You rattle off some random stats of an OLED. Like I said, if you are going to tell me the Galaxy S 2 has a more efficient screen than the Evo 3D, then tell me how efficient each of them are. You are just making crap up at this point. Well, not at this point, you've been doing it all along.

So? Why should I care about this? You keep cluttering up the discussion with crap that has nothing to do with this. OLED tv's are generally better than LCD has absolutely nothing to do with either of these phones. And even if it was somehow related, not EVERY OLED tv is better than EVERY LCD. I'll take a 75" top notch LCD tv with glasses free 3D over a 13" OLED tv with no 3D, every time.

First off, HTC doesn't make "sub par" cameras. The camera on the Evo is just fine. Yeah, you may have to adjust some settings in order to get a better picture, but it is very much possible to get good quality out the Evo camera. It's certainly on par or better than the Droid cameras.

There are way, WAY more people ready to make use of 3D cameras and a glasses free 3D screen, than there are ready to make use of a 2 megapixel video chat from a phone. There is literally no video chat client that runs on Android that will stream a 2 megapixel video stream. And there is no client that will receive and display such a stream anyway. No comparison here. You were obviously biased and just making crap up when you said the 3D cameras on the Evo were an unknown, the 3D screen was a tie, and the front camera on the Galaxy S 2 was better due to the more megapixels. The bottom line is, everything you can do with the Sammy front cam can be done with the Evo 3D front cam. But the sammy will never take the 3D pics and vids that the Evo 3D takes, nor will it ever display the 3D videos, or the high resolution of the Evo 3D screen.

Remote syncing is not the same thing. Nice try though. So, like I said and you chose to dodge the answer rather than admit it- encrypted nand is a bad thing.

True, Samsung can decide to include some components that haven't been fully tested. But then you end up with the faulty GPS of the Galaxy S, and the faulty radios of the Nexus S 4G. I would certainly not call that an advantage.

Plea bargain means he agreed to plead guilty and admit he committed a crime. Anyway, get off that whole "Korea avoided the recession" nonsense. Korea avoided the recession because the entire country is about half the size of a single state in the USA. I'm sure if you only count half of California, they would have skipped the recession too.

CyanogemMod is a whole team of people. Clearly, you were wrong in your assesment of the Galaxy S and CM support. They just barely got the first CM7 nightly for a Galaxy S device a couple weeks ago. I posted the link. And this is with a whole team of developers.

Man, you realize that hundreds or even thousands of people said they were getting an HTC phone when HTC agreed to open the bootloaders? Liek I said, Samsung is just playing catch up. You can bet there will be more custom ROMs for the HTC phones, just like there always has been. The Samsung is NOT a better phone. If it were, then they wouldn't have to give them away in order to get people to develop for them. It's not like these devs are a bunch of idiots who just don't know any better. They know which phones are the best and they buy the ones they want.

Yes, HTC will sell more smartphones than Samsung. They will sell a LOT more smartphones than Samsung.

You do realize that the quarterly profits HTC just posted were about half of the quarterly profits Samsung posted in their best quarter ever, for the whole company- not just mobile. So you are out of your mind if you think Samsung is going to compete with HTC in this area. HTC is a MUCH larger phone manufacturer than Sansung.

First off, HTC doesn't make "sub par" cameras. The camera on the Evo is just fine. Yeah, you may have to adjust some settings in order to get a better picture, but it is very much possible to get good quality out the Evo camera. It's certainly on par or better than the Droid cameras.

They make sub par cameras..both sgs and iphone camera completely destroy the evos camera..

But the sammy will never take the 3D pics and vids that the Evo 3D takes, nor will it ever display the 3D videos, or the high resolution of the Evo 3D screen.

3d front cam? it can display the higher resolution by connecting it via MHL...and as I said 3d is a gimmick tech..I remember watching jurrasic park in orlando in 3d cool..movies..cool..but I would never use it to record a video...neither would I use it on a small cellphone screen..I am telling you you have to see it in person..its nothing that great...

Remote syncing is not the same thing. Nice try though. So, like I said and you chose to dodge the answer rather than admit it- encrypted nand is a bad thing.

your under impression that encryption means data cant be copied..it can with a password..anyways no IT person is gonna spend time using clockwork or amon ra or etc..they instead hook it up to a tool like Samsung Odin and flahs 10 devices at once...then remote sync the data..thats the standard security policy in corporations...

True, Samsung can decide to include some components that haven't been fully tested. But then you end up with the faulty GPS of the Galaxy S, and the faulty radios of the Nexus S 4G. I would certainly not call that an advantage.

Those are not because they are poorly tested Nexus S 4g uses the same chip as the Epic 4g for 4g..as for GPS..people are saying that what happened was Samsung planned to use Skyhook instead of Google for maps..at last minute samsung was forced to drop skyhook by Google and use Google for location based services..hence the poor GPS...also the GPS chip was not made by samsung...

See you have to see how it works...Samsung makes chip, tests chip, releases prototypes, sells chip, manufacturer uses chip..samsung on other hand can already use it at the prototype phase...

Plea bargain means he agreed to plead guilty and admit he committed a crime. Anyway, get off that whole "Korea avoided the recession" nonsense. Korea avoided the recession because the entire country is about half the size of a single state in the USA. I'm sure if you only count half of California, they would have skipped the recession too.

Population of South korea is 48,875,000..population of California is 37,253,956..if anything it makes it harder for them as they have no natrual resources...

CyanogemMod is a whole team of people. Clearly, you were wrong in your assesment of the Galaxy S and CM support. They just barely got the first CM7 nightly for a Galaxy S device a couple weeks ago. I posted the link. And this is with a whole team of developers.

They were working on multiple devices...not just one..and guess what TE WHOLE TEAM got SGS2 from them...

Man, you realize that hundreds or even thousands of people said they were getting an HTC phone when HTC agreed to open the bootloaders? Liek I said, Samsung is just playing catch up. You can bet there will be more custom ROMs for the HTC phones, just like there always has been. The Samsung is NOT a better phone. If it were, then they wouldn't have to give them away in order to get people to develop for them. It's not like these devs are a bunch of idiots who just don't know any better. They know which phones are the best and they buy the ones they want.

Actually most people buy things they are familiar with...brand effects people more then anything else..hence why Apple is doing so well...They gave them phones away as a marketing gimmick and its a good move on their part...

let me ask you this..if Samsung releases a Quad core phone at the same time the Evo 3d comes out..which one would you get?

Yes, HTC will sell more smartphones than Samsung. They will sell a LOT more smartphones than Samsung.

You do realize that the quarterly profits HTC just posted were about half of the quarterly profits Samsung posted in their best quarter ever, for the whole company- not just mobile. So you are out of your mind if you think Samsung is going to compete with HTC in this area. HTC is a MUCH larger phone manufacturer than Sansung.

You do realize that around 25% of all cellphones in the US are Samsung right? cause smartphones are not only phones there are...samsung also is 2nd largest cellphone manufacturer around the world behind Nokia...

Now in terms of smartphones..Samsung sold a record amount of SGS phone in the US..

HTC had total revenue of $3.5 billion earnings and $511 million profit..Samsung earned 2.85$ billion in just profit...

HTC cant be the only option forever..change comes..this year we have mroe choice of phones and OEMs then ever..so its progress whether you like it or not...

No, it's not. Unless you compare ALL the energy it uses to ALL the energy of the SLCD.

It's not stretching it at all. Like I said, the Sammy will flat out NEVER play a 3D video. They are not even remotely close.

They do not make sub par cameras. Their cameras are on par or even better than comparable phones. Are LG's better? No. Palms? No. Motorolas? No. Kyoceras? No. Your bias and HTC hatred is showing.

I have a 3D tv. You don't have to tell me about 3D. I'mm telling YOU about 3D. It absolutely will be on every tv in the next few years, just like HD. And the videos you recorded today are going to look like crap, just like old SD videos do now on an HD tv.

They wouldn't use clockwork, obviously. But they would absolutely do a nand backup and restore.

More excuses, lol. The bottom line is Sansung puts out garbage when they try to rush. And fanboys like yourself can make all the excuses they want.

Right. And then when the bugs are found they are in the finished product, instead of the prototypes. Just like the GPS on the Galaxy S, and the radio on the Nexus S 4G.

California's population is 36,961,664, South Korea's is 48,747,000. Sources:
U.S. Census Bureau, Population Division - Google public data
World Bank, World Development Indicators - Google public data

So yeah, take half of California and half of New York and you have more population than South Korea, a way bigger economy, and no recession. Keep it in perspective.

Exactly. They were working on many devices, and yet Galaxy S wasn't one of them.

Just stop man. Hillarious how many excuses you come up with. The devs creating these ROMs know darn well which phones are the best, and they buy what they want.

Let me ask you this: if HTC came out with a 12 core at the same time as the Galaxy S 2, which one would you get? What exactly does that have to do with anything? We're talking about 2 specific phones, not phones that don't exist yet.

Not cellphones sold last year, that's for sure.

Stillo nowhere near what HTC sold.

Wait, you mean this super company that you are slobering all over, Samsung, the greatest company in the history of the world the way you talk about them- made significantly less money than Apple? Maybe Samsung isn't as big as you thought they were.

I agree that change comes and progress happens. Just don't forget which one of these companies is the one playing catch up. You are the one who said HTC was playing catch up. Clearly, Samsung is the one playing catch up.
