this statement is incorrect. china is a totalitarian type environment where everything is controlled and limited by the government. Taiwan is a democracy like the united states is. furthermore in China they speak simplified Chinese while in Taiwan they speak traditional Chinese. people from china also tend to be more closed and reserved (especially when it comes to a slightly darker skinned individual like me) while the Taiwanese are more open minded and laid back. ok this is all I want to say now back to the EVO3D vs iPhoney4 flamefest.

Don't compare an SGS 2 to a Evo3d/Sensation...the smoothness of the SGS2 has no comparison to anything else...and if you read around the web its very high rated by reviewers...and if benchmarks is your thing..the SGS2 scored 2x higher on most benchmarks...



TW4 launcher is very light..someone ported TW4 as a flash-able zip that any phone can use..there is also an apk version but has some features missing...

And unlike sense framework as I said, Samsung includes cpu optimization in the framework..(this is a big advantage when you make your own CPUs...)



Well depends you can use an international SGS2 on AT&T network from day 1...and SGS 3 will come out in first quarter of 2012...Even without CM7/8 SGS2 is top notch..biggest thing that was slowing down the original SGS was their use of RFS file system...RFS is no more so you get pure speed!




Not really.. there are many new ways to get energy..not just solar..

like radio signals:

Georgia Tech engineers pull energy out of atmospheric hat, go on electromagnetic scavenger hunt -- Engadget

or this:

Researchers develop tiny, autonomous piezoelectric energy harvester -- Engadget


or if your into solar there is a new way to make cheap solar panels that will double energy efficiency:

Nanocones make solar cells more efficient, sinister looking -- Engadget

or better yet tech like this:

Mizzou Professor says nantenna solar sheet soaks up 90 percent of the sun's rays, puts sunscreen to shame -- Engadget

and

Solar-Piezoelectric Hybrid Fiber Could Create Energy-Generating Clothes | Ecouterre

And there are large companies actually working on standards for energy harvesting:

ZigBee Alliances developing Green Power standards for energy harvesting devices -- Engadget


..give it 5 more years and I guarantee you we will have a cellphone that is cell sufficient...



umm..android smartphones are not GPU accelerated UI yet...dont remember if honeycomb is or not off the top of my head...so SGS2 is fairly smooth with no GPU accelerated UI...

And thing is...the original Galaxy S with Gingerbread, Touchwiz and EXT4 actually beats Stock/CM7/Nexus S in terms of speed lol..thats how much of a difference the framework makes...

so what you really want is CM7/8 + TouchWiz Framework port...then you will see speeds beyond your wildest imagination...

Also people have been reporting really awesome battery life on the SGS2...

Samsung Galaxy S2 Review: Exposing the battery life

summary: 20 hours of battery(it was at 15% after 20 hours) with 10 hours of actual use and push notifications! gmail and twitter on! and wifi on! this is for stock..no undervolting or optimization!!!! or increased battery size..
