Hello All...
I know this is just a case of "I am rationalizing my decision and wanted to talk it out"...but please, humor me
I have now had the HTC 3vo since release day and I have decided to return it and wait for the GS2. I really, really like the 3vo but i don't LOVE it. I don't know what I expected coming from a rooted CM7 EVO4g but I am not blown away. The phone is fast...but I guess I expected faster? People on reviews talk about the GS2 like it is absolutely BLAZING. I know, I know..how much fast can one expect to browse from screen to screen or load apps, etc? I still see some not 100% smooth scrolling on some of the 3vo like I expected. Every video I've seen on the GS2 seems to indicate that it doesn't suffer from any lack of smoothness.
In the end it came down to 3d/HTC vs. Thin/Light/AMOLED...cause those seem to be the only major differences. I am not a huge fan of Samsung's Touchwiz and think that Sense is better but I am willing to try...I can always root too!
3d is very cool but ultimately I think it is a gimmick..and not cool enough to make up for the size/speed/screen of the GS2....so here I come samsung!
