People Dunne plays left of Centre in defence. Collins and Cuellar play right side if centre. One of them had to be dropped.

Cuellar or Collins had to be dropped as Dunne plays left side of centre, Collins and Cuellar play right. Really need to dispose of Davies soon, he's not in their league.

Cuellar is probably out best defender. Have they talked about villa yet on soccer saturday?

We'll win this, 2-0. Downing and Cuellar will score and everyone will play blinders.

My dad and older brother support Spurs. When we play them it's as big as SHA for me. Man I hate Spurs.

I refuse to go to the next level before I get three stars. I'll be there all day if needs be. I'm a perfectionist. I've got a few friends hooked on it too.

Firstly yes you can sync Android with iTunes. DoubleTwist music player (which is the best one which has a handy widget) will do that for you. Two of my friends switched from iPhone 3GS to Samasung Galaxy S, one of them was quite worried by the switch as he was quite happy with the iPhone and he had numerous go's with my Xperia X10 to dispell the vast number of false rumours about android. The latest one being an actual review (see above) that stated it doesn't have pinch zoom when all Android handsets with running 2.1 have pinch zoom. To say he was happy wit the switch is an understatement. So many things he never thought he needed or wanted because they weren't available on iPhones he now can't live without. I normally refer to him when people quiz me about switching from Apple to Android. But at the end if the day they are smartphones and do many of the same things. But the app store aside anything you can do on an iphone you can do on a top android phone. But there are many things on android that aren't on the iphone. But if you are an apps and games junkie the apple app store is still superior to the android market, with 250,000 apps compared to 100,000. Android is closing the gap, but currently games come out on the iphone before they come to android. But more and more games and apps are being developed for both platforms.

Have to agree, angry birds is a fantastically addictive game.

As far as reviews go, techradar and its htc love in makes me want to smash my computer screen. The htc Desire is in no way what so ever a patch on the galaxy s. Even more so now they've had to switch to lcd screens. The desire is old, inferior and vastly out sold by the galaxy s yet these clowns persist in the myth that it's still february and it's still the best phone.

I hope their champions league hangover is as bad a the one I had the day I was flying home from Berlin in October 2007.

Here's a link to the best comparison between the two phones I've read. They don't pick one over the other or come to any conclusion other than highlight the strength's and weaknesses of each phone in different categories. Very good read.

I'm not trying to get you to switch phones. I was just trying to explain the merits of both screens to Demitri. They are the two best screens available in phones today. It's hard to explain the differences between the screens without showing someone them. The Galaxy S has a bigger screen than the iPhone, 4inch compared to 3.5inch, it has a more vibrant screen due to the Super AMOLED technology. The iPhone 4 has the higher resolution screen meaning text and images are crisper. But as a mobile movie player the Galaxy S is simply unmatched. Any impartial review will emphasise as much, it can also play avi files which an iPhone cannot. I know 5 people with the galaxy s phone and none have reported it crashing. You must've been looking at a phone with old firmware. Basically reliability is a non issue with either phone.

Oh it's a splendid screen, really is one of the two best available in phones today. But it is no match for the galaxy s for viewing movies. Check any review you want if you can't do a side by side yourself.

I wouldn't say I'm a pro. But yes the resolution makes things more detailed. Apple say the resolution on the iphone 4 is at a level that the difference at any higher level cannot be detected by the human eye. To be perfectly honest, I've used the iphone 4 quite a bit now and you don't really notice the difference of the higher res over the res of other top smartphones. This could be because of the bigger screen on my phone meaning I can fit the same amount of text on it at a more zoomed in level negating the benefit of crisper text. It's a tad over kill in most things. Though it does help text to be more crisp and readable at very zoomed out modes, it is certainly an advantage over all other lcd screens of the same size. Since it's your first smartphone I doubt you will notice the benefit of this as much as you would upgrading from an older iphone. With the galaxy s, the super amoled screen is a technology where every individual pixel is it's own led. There is no need for a back light like an lcd screen. This means colours are more vibrant, and the blacks are jet black. This gives the screen a wow factor particularly in video play back. The galaxy s is in a league of it's own as a portable media player. The bigger screen really helping it in that department too. But the two different screens are exactly that, different. Personal preference may swing individuals one way or the other. So your best bet is to play around with both, especially video play back. A thing to note is amoled technology is the future, the next iphone will almost certainly be using the screen technology. There is of course a huge disparity in price, which is typical of apple products charging a premium because it's apple. It all depends on what you want from a smartphone. What are you going to use it for? Do you primarily want to play games? Or watch movies or just surf the internet on the go?

Both phones have 5 mega pixel cameras and can record in hd. Basically hardware wise the galaxy s and iphone 4 are cutting edge. The only significant difference in the hardware is the galaxy s has a 4 inch super amoled screen which is more vibrant colours, while the iphone 4 has a 3.5 inch lcd screen with a higher resolution. Obviously the two run different operating systems, android and iOS.

Seriously, we need an apps thread so people wanting to discuss only apps post there. An iphone thread is about the actual iphone positive and negative comments and all. I think we can solve this problem with another thread.

Then we need to start a thread about apps. The problem with this thread the other day was a thread in ot got merged with this thread so the discussion got moved in here. I just want to let people know that when you are considering buying a smartphone there are now viable alternatives to the iphone. So was just trying to spread the word is all. When the thread got merged here I knew it'd kick off again. The tech forum doesn't have many active threads so we should really get an apps thread going as it has crossover appeal now between android and ios.

I did all of that except enabling usb debugging, I'll try that when I'm home.

I had a mass storage mounting problem with my galaxy s this morning. I plugged it into my nc10 running xp and normally auto run would bring up the what action to take window for both sd cards. But nothing happens, two drives appear in my computer but I get an error if I try to open them. Bit of an odd error as this was working last week. Launcher Pro problem maybe? Might go back to touch wiz then mount.

This iphone, android, samsung etc thread lark is silly. There is loads of crossover they're all smarphones, loads of games and apps are on both platforms. So on, so forth. Angry Birds for example is such an addictive game. I love it, it's on both iOS and Android.

If he was here we would've won 1-0, we were warrior resilient last season. I want some of that defensive resilience back to go with the tactical knowledge of Houllier.

He was poor, and would probably be the worst of our players today along with possibly Warnock. I agree with the riding of luck, a draw is only 1 point. We can lose two games and win one and we get the same points as 3 draws. We need to go for the win always.

I like how you picked out Petrov instead of Luke Young who had a shocker imo yet got a vote.

Doyle is one of my footballing hero's. Leave it out. Mine too actually. Of all the Dingle's I thought Doyle was their best player today and a very honest performance. One nasty foul on Ash Young but he didn't protest his innocence or anything. Just a case of "yeah, i got frustrated and did him". Never appealed for a corner or throw in that he knew he didn't deserve, didn't berate the referee. An honest, tough centre forward. Would love to see him in our team. Also no player in the history of the game works harder than he does when he pulls on the Irish Jersey. The boy love playing for his country, and we love him.

I do agree, I think it's just a bit too lightweight and too 'explosive' in a game where we need to control a bit more. Yes there are spells where Reo and Stan lose the grip of the game and also with just two of them there they have to work non stop the whole game. I think when Ireland is fit and in form he'll be a welcome addition to the midfield.
