1080p is high definition. HD has nothing to do with the frame rate.

Anyone here have more than 1 smartphone, I have a iphone 4 and Galaxy S2?


"Have", or "Actively Use"?

As a Sprint customer (damn them, for not letting us have R-UIM cards... but that's one of my obsessions. Please don't get me started on it...), having more than one active phone is impossible... but if you want to inventory the phones on my desk, and add the ones in my closet:

Moto Photon (my "real" phone)

on my desk:

SGS Epic 4G (my previous phone, used with wifi as my "dev" phone)

HTC Hero2000 (my penultimate phone, used with wifi as my HVGA dev phone)

in my closet:

HTC Touch ("Vogue")

HTC PPC6700 (reflashed to WinMo6.5, eventually dual-booted Android via HaRET)

Samsung SPH-i500 (Palm)

Samsung SPH-i300

High Definition has everything to do with frame rate. Video is all about motion. Without motion you are a still photographer.

I use an Omnia II i920, and keep an HTC Touch Diamond as a backup, both Windows Mobile. No CarrierIQ rootkits to worry about...

wow excellent replies, nice i am not the only one then.

I do love my galaxy s2 more than my iphone, I feel the iphone is like a straight jacket, i guess it is made easy for NTs. No offence to that comment.

Youtube vids load quicker on the s2, but one problem is does drain quicker than the iphone 4. So iphone 4 wins there.

Android is good for mucking about with, as is anything Linux based, but I could never use it as my daily driver. Just my opinion.
