RIP my dear BB 9000

Thanks for being my buddy for the past 4 years without giving me any major issues until recently, the trackball can't move the cursor down at all and most of the function/menu can't be used. Also the internal memory is extremely low due to the buggy design and BB OS core files are getting larger. I guess I will try to send it for repair before declaring the death for this BB ;)

So, what should be the pick? iPhone? Galaxy S2? These are the 2 picks and I don't really fancy with iPhone anymore because I already have iPad. Likewise, I'm very keen on S2 as I never had an Android phone before. Since the review is also very good for this phone, so I finally decided to purchase for Ori set in Times Square. Most of them selling around RM1850-RM1899 but I manage to get it at RM1750 with free screen protector. Confirmed original set and authorized by Samsung Malaysia, not AP set.

In order to get the white S2, I need to pay extra RM100 where I don't find it's worthwhile as the phone feature and base unit are identical except the color. Also the white body seems not sturdy to me and I'm sure it will get dirty or yellowish over a short period. So it will be black ... just like my iPad :)

LCD screen is larger and more sharp than iPhone4
8 mega pix ... self explanatory
So thin ... much thinner than iPhone (and lighter too)
Generally, I find it's cool and nice looking phone. Not only that but the technical spec is much greater than the iPhone. I do find iPhone4S look convincing with its new feature but I can see the resemblance of iPhone 3G/3GS. It's just minor upgrade and it will be totally different design and appearance in the Apple's next pipeline product ... probably iPhone5 :)
