    I say iPhone 4S. Having come from an Android phone (HTC Dream) and my wife had a Samsung Galaxy S, The iPhone is the most use friendly and intuitive OS of any that I've used. My Wife currently has a BB Curve or something and its, IMHO, crap.

    No need to apologize, I certainly don't share Neo's view that this sort of question shouldn't be asked

    So, what I have learned so far is that the BB9900 has been, kind of, left out of the equation by personal opinion in this thread and not by anything else. This now, in my personal opinion, leaves the Samsung Galaxy SII and the iPhone 4S in a duel with the Samsung holding a slightly bigger gun. (personal opinion, not fact)
    So when it comes down to pulling the trigger, the utter most refined one will, in the end, be the one standing. This leaves me thinking that it will come down to the OS.
    I absolutely love technical settings, tweaks, hacks and cracks... I unfortunately, have never worked on any android running device in my entire life thus I don't have the slightest idea of what its potential is when it comes down to "technical" settings. Does android have the same going "in an out" of apps when you need to do something else on the phone?
    (By the way iOS5 on the iPhone is super user friendly and straight foreward, very little technical skills needed to operate it)

    Go through that when you have a chance. Should help you decide.

    Err...you guys should wipe off your mouths when talking this much crap. I merely said that these kind of questions are difficult to answer. Seeing as the OP also made a comment that he seems to have "scared" people off because no one replied within 10 seconds. But yeah, whatever. Looks like I'm being made to look like an ass even when I try and be helpful. Scratch that idea then!

    Lets say I am the manager/salesman at the IStore in my local shopping mall. I am looking for an honest opinion on the phone I would like to upgrade to having used the IPhone for the past 4 years and looking for a change. Obviously I am familiar with the IPhone and it would be my responsibility to tell people what a great product it is(which in fact it is). Trying to do this while having someone tell me that it is the biggest peace of crap on a public forum might have some implications on a professional level. Getting a guy in the shop telling me in my face that he saw a post where someone said the IPhone was a bad option and that I am in fact not telling the truth. (all based on someones opinion)

    OK, so there is nothing stopping anyone to ask any type of question and it is in fact good to get facts and reality on the table but I think what Neo was trying to say was is that it might be unwise to ask how your mother looks naked and have someone tell you what they of think her when there is a very big chance that she is also on the forum. As this is the commenting persons view of things and does not necessarily reflect any one else s experience thus making it difficult to comment on the question. It reminds me if of The Matrix - "You cannot be told what the matrix is..."

    Anyway i do not enjoy debating on what must or must not be said. I am interested in getting the opinions of real users of the products thereafter making an informed and satisfying decision.

    I will go for the new Samsung Galaxy Note or the SII rather, the SIII is on the way as well.

    Try and not take yourself too seriously - I certainly don't

    Well you're 100% right. The forum really is a joke at the end of the day anyways.

    Honestly BB (rim) is on a rapid decline in all the leading markets, USA, UK etc, it only does well in emerging countries where consumers get ass raped paying high fees for data and sms's. If you are a 16 year old girls who loves to message for hours on end to all her friends then a bb is for you. Otherwise go for the iPhone/Nexus/S2/Nokia.

    How do you make an informed decision - easy : youtube, look at all the unboxings, reviews( at least 3) OS features and more, then go to google and find out what most people think of the phone and then lastly once you have culled it down to 2 or 3 phone you go to a store and ask if they have any demo models that you can use, look at the screen, the way the phone feels in yout hands, how responsive the touch screen is etc then only make a decision.
