Upon first impression the Galaxy S II seemed like another impression of the IPhone, but internally it could probably beat it. The body is .33 inches, which is thinner than most. On a 4g network things are sure to go a bit faster, but it’s a disclaimer because I’m aware of T-Mobile’s crappy network, as I am one of those customers  that literally inherited my phone line when I disconnected myself from my mother’s account. As you saw in my LG Thrill post, AT&T could rip T-Mobile’s speed any day.

It is smaller than most dimension wise and it weighs 4.09 ounces, which isn’t pretty bad. Another thing I love about this phone is the 8 megapixel camera. The average smartphone only has a 2 or a 3 megapixel versus the Galaxy S II. This phone gives you a touch of quality and professionalism while shooting high definition pictures and videos.

In addition T-Mobile fans will be delighted to hear that this phone has a talk time that’s appeasing to all, with almost three times the talk time of your standard device. Imagine having a phone that lasts 18.3 hours of your day, without a single charge, or having a standby time of almost 30 days (that’s a freaking month)! That’s not all folks, it gets much better. The internal memory is 32 gigabytes, not 16 or 4 like those other phones, but enough memory to download hundreds of apps and music, without the hassle of an SD card.

This phone has the best of everything: high definition camera, super amoled display ( lighter display with less reflection), more than sufficient amount of memory, a light weight, and a 4g network (disclaimer).  AT&T has faults as well, with a number of dropped call complaints. Every phone and every company has its faults, but this phone is one of the best out there on the market, not that I agree with the carrier. Let’s just say it’s the right phone but it happens to be with the wrong company.

So Temple Run released a few days ago on Droid, and I like other customers have had a series of problems with the app. There have been complaints of glitches and other technical issues. When you search for the app itself it takes time to sort through fan apps and things of that sort. I was a bit incorrect on my prior post and I would like to thank my friend from  Just Reboot!, another wordpress site.

LG Doubleplay Review and Temple Run App

The LG Doubleplay packs a secondary 2

One of the coolest phones on the market is the LG Doubleplay, with a dual screen and a split keyboard interface. Its unique design may be a great innovation, but prove problematic for both new and avid texters. Instead of a standard QWERTY UIOP keyboard, it splits between the “t” and “y” keys, making way for a 2-inch LCD touch display on the keying panel. The standard way of typing on a full keypad versus this platform takes a bit of adapting, after just a few minutes of testing the phone out.

If you’re looking for a phone with a ton of memory this could be the phone for you, flaunting an internal memory of 16.3 gigabytes, four times the average internal memory of any (4 gigabyte) cellphone. In addition, this phone has a 5 megapixel camera, 512 megabytes of RAM, and a main screen at 3.5 inches.

This phone is a bit on the heftier side, weighing 6.3 ounces. Besides the weight, I would have to say that I absolutely love the  phone, but based on the reviews there are quite a few technicalities that need tending, such as a lack of battery life (a common problem with most Androids), and a few minor screen glitches. I would still purchase this phone, but I would not recommend this handset for first time Android users.

The app of the week is Temple Run, which was supposed to release today, February 12, 2012, on the Android Market, according to a tweet from the official Twitter fan page of Temple Run, but has been delayed until later this month. This fast paced action thriller will definitely keep you playing for hours. The object of the game is to escape the temple after stealing jewels from the cursed grounds of an ancient Mayan temple. That’s where the fun begins. You have to escape monkeys by avoiding obstacles like fire, tree trunks, and swift turns of paths. Can you keep up?
