I only lasted a week...

Everyone has their little petty things that can set them off if the phone doesn't have it, it happens.
There was something that bothered me about the S2 but I forgot what it was. Choosing an icon for homescreen bookmarks would have been nice though.

So far I am enjoying the phone a lot better with the Cognition S2 ROM. Battery is rivaling the iPhone now.

What is that? A custom ROM?

Now my Galaxy S2 is on Ebay and I am using my iPhone 4 again.

I am not going to get into fanboy arguments or anything.

Just listing some reasons.

#1. I will always be an OSX guy. Android does not play well with Mac. iPhoto, iMovie, iTunes. (Doubletwist sucks)

#2. Battery. Not only does it have horrible battery life, but it charges SLOWLY as well.

#3. iOS 5 solves some of the problems that had me looking to Android in the first place.

So see you guys around. I usually don't post here when not an Android user (I have done Android 3 times before.)

As far as #1 is concerned you've got it totally wrong. It's Apple's goal to think you the way you think. It's not Android that does not play well with Mac, it's Mac that does not play well with just about everything that was not sold by Apple. You should not have dumped SGS2. The right decision is to dump Mac (and Apple in general). Otherwise you'll be stuck with inferior hardware and having to wait when Apple decides that it's OK for you to have USB 3.0, BluRay, Sandy Bridge, OLED panels etc.

+1 about the Apple. But don't forget the "need" for them to be different and support thunderbolt, instead of USB 3.0 - just because it'll be slightly exclusive to them. Mhhhhhh - more money for Apple when you go and buy a Thundebolt connector from the Apple store (where you coincidentally get attracted to other Apple products which many would end up buying after a little while) :/

FOR example. My friend needed to go in the other day to the Apple store to get a case for his iPhone 4. There were 3 of us. He came out with a case and a display port to HDMI adapter...as well as my other friend.

Although all was not bad. Managed to show the other friend, how boring the iPad 2 was in comparison to an Acer tablet (that he'd been playing on an hour previously in a Currys store.) Yeah, that above was pretty pointless...

Are people here only allowed to say anything about the SGS2 as long as it's positive?

I thought that the OP was fairly written and provided a cogent explanation as to why 1080p was going back to his iPhone. No-one wants to read "Yah, boo, sucks, my phone's better than yours, blah blah." but that is not what the OP said.

I'm interested in people's experience be they good or bad.

You are sadly mistaken if that's all you got from my post. I visit this sub-forum for user/owner feedback because I too am interested in the phone. But there is a proper way of doing things, like asking for help.

If you give an Android phone 1 week to figure out, more times than not, you will be left wanting.

What kind of sucks here is a part of this is the desire for big corporations to get you into their orbit and make it hard for you to leave. It isn't a secret as to why apple stuff doesnt play well with android or why a fully functional outlook sync that isnt in some way gimped cannot be had on android and on and on. Its not about us, its about what they want.

One last thought, cognition is a good rom but the kf2 roms tend to have better battery life. For that I think I would go villain.
