Samsung Galaxy S II - New Gadget

| 4 Comments | No TrackBacks
A couple of weeks ago, I could not wait any longer to own my very own smart phone, although this means being tied into a contract for two years. I am a late adopter of owning my own smart phone, though I often use them while testing websites.

I simply prefer to get complete use out of my gadgets and use them until the end of their days. Technology is always changing, and keeping up with the changes is costly and, in my opinion, bad for the environment. It costs energy to make technology, and bits of unwanted phones simply go into landfills a couple of years after they are considered out-of-date. I also know of many who get into debt through adopting the new technologies as soon as they come out, such as anything from a new car every three years to a new phone or new camera every couple of years. Society tends to make people judge their self-worth through material items. My last two mobiles were on their last days before I decided that it was best to replace them; it's normally always the battery that tends to go first, apart from scratches and paint/plastic rubbing off and touchy keypads.

However, this post is not meant to be about keeping green, personal finances, or materialism. It's about my new phone. I decided to get the Samsung Galaxy SII, and I opted for the white version of the model. My first impressions are quite good, though I have heard that the battery does not last very long, but a new battery (that lasts longer) can be purchased. The phone is thin and light, and it's easy to use. Usability-wise, it is similar to the iPhone.

I'm in the process of installing applications on the new phone and playing with the new features. So far, the battery has not drained too much, but I probably will invest in a new battery that lasts longer, and I can always keep this battery charged in case I need a back-up. (This is what I do when I use my digital SLR camera. I have a battery in the camera, and I have a charged back-up batery on hand for replacement.)

The Samsung Galaxy SII also looks like it was a perfect choice of phone as it was just announced to be the winner of the T3 Gadgets "Phone of the Year" award, beating the iPhone, which I am glad I did not wait for in the end (I originally had my heart set on the 'iPhone 5', before the announcements were made last week for the release of the new iPhone).
