Q. im not looking to spend more than 100 aud
A. at the top level of jungceylon in patong phuket they are 26000 thai baht.
i was thinking maybe they would be cheaper in thailand but i found most apple products were generally about the same price as they are here in australia.
however if your interested in other brands you can get some great deals.
i bought a samsung galaxy mini running android for 5700 thai baht unlocked (about 170aud) and im not sure about now but 1 month ago this wasn't yet released in australia. its the best phone ive ever had. i also bought this laptop acer aspire for 20000 baht which is about 1/4 of what the equivelant would cost here in australia.
its good if you shop around but dont expect $100 iphone4's to be falling from the sky.
as somebody else mentioned, be weary of fakes. Some of those fakes look pretty original.

Should I get a Samsung Galaxy S2 or an iPhone 5?
Q. Should I get a Samsung Galaxy S2 or an iPhone 5?
I currently have a small old phone for texting and calls and an iPod touch for music. I would like to replace these devices with one smartphone. I would be using this smartphone for making calls, texting, listening to my music and video collection, surfing the internet, checking social networks and possibly more. I am thinking of an iPhone 5 (when it comes out) or a Samsung Galaxy S2. Below are my reasons for each one:
Samsung Galaxy S2
- 8MP camera with LED flash
- 1080p Full HD video recording
- Android 2.3 Gingerbread: very customisable
- Dual Core application processor - blazing fast speeds
- 5.1 simulated surround sound
- Expandable storage (MicroSD 16GB, 32GB)
- 4.3 inch screen - not too big, not too small
- Super AMOLED Plus display - said to be better than the iPhone 5's Retina display
- Cheaper phone - there are many good deals in Australia for this phone at the moment
- Android apps are slightly cheaper than iPhone apps
iPhone 5 (hasn't been announced yet, below are the most likely features in the phone)
- iOS 5 - very easy to use (this doesn't really matter to me as I am very adept with technology)
- 8MP camera with LED flash
- HD video recording (720p or 1080p)
- Apple's A5 chip
- iTunes and iPhone just work so perfectly together
- Brilliant syncing with computers (I have a Mac)
- 3.5 - 4.5 inch Retina display
- More apps on the App store
- I already have many Apps on my iPod Touch, which I can re-purchase on the iPhone free of charge. However, the iPhone 5 will be more expensive in terms of the actual handset, so this doesn't really matter
Please help me in any way you can! My heart says to go with the iPhone 5 and my brain says that I should go with the Galaxy S2.
Which phone should I get?
Thanks in advance.

A. get the galaxy S2!!!!!, and with a app called "double twist" you can sync all your itunes music to your android,

I prefer android over apple for the reason that its open-source, that means that the majority of the apps are free, and you get more revolutionary and cutting edge apps, and do things are even only barely available on a jail broken iphone
The android market already has 250000 apps- closing in on apple 500000; some say it will surpass it before the year is over. Also any popular iphone game or game adaptation can be found in the android market for free.

Another great thing about android as that if you dont like something (keyboard, homescreen, etc.) it can easily be swapped without jail-breaking, unlike the iphones one-size-fits-all approach.
Despite the false rumors, The iphone is also just as, if not more vulnerable to viruses as android

Other features only on android
Turn-by-turn voice GPS
Better and larger screen
No need to connect to computer to sync
Here is a big one, add a sd card
Live wallpaper

Apple lovers that say that the iphone is made of better quality material? They don�t realize that Samsung, an android phone maker, supply�s the screen, processor and memory for apple devices, so android has the advantage here.
The iphone is pretty, but not durable, drop it once- it breaks, all that glass around it? That was honestly a mistake. Android manufactures clearly saw that, and decided to do with something a little more durable.
And the iphones �retina display� is a huge scam. By definition a �retina display� is one where the human eye cannot distinguish individual pixels. But this is determined by several factors; most important being the distance between the screen and your eyes. The iphones retina distance is 12in, move any closer than that- say 7in and it�s no longer a �retina screen� because your eyes can now see the pixels, by that same token, if I move my android phone back, to say 16-17in, amazingly, it becomes a retina screen as well! (feel free to google this)
Also apple never invents anything, there never �the first�. All they do is steal old technology, give it a fresh coat of paint and mass advertise it as �magical� and �innovating�, thus fooling the mass of the population into believing that apple offers cutting edge technology, that in fact has been around for quite a few years.
So instead of innovating, apple actually hinders technology- after 4 years they still have low-power single core phones, while android, an example of technology in overdrive, has rumored that, after their second year, the release of quad core phones that will surpass even some desktop computers in shear processing power. (now any 2011 android is smoother and faster than the iphone)
Apple should now feel pretty worried; android has passed it in market share
http://www.businessinsider.com/android-iphone-market-share-2011-4
Then apple panics and sues
http://www.dailytech.com/Google+ExCEO+Apple+Doesnt+Innovate+They+Sue/article22190.htm
The funny thing is that apple can�t sue for being the first touchscreen or tablet, because they weren�t,(Nokia fist touch screen, �archos� first tablet) so instead they sue for much more relevant things like, �the rounded icon corners� and �having a flat screen� or �the square shape of the phone���..
To top it all, if you�ve seen apples 2011 presentation, they blatantly copied over five "new" features that were previously on android.

http://www.droid-life.com/2011/06/06/apple-introduces-ios5-with-notifications-ota-updates-and-tabbed-browsing-android-users-giggle-at-their-late-arrival/
1. Notification bar
2. Twitter integration
3. No need to connect to PC to sync
4. Launch apps from lock screen
5. Tabbed browsing
And not only are they copies, but apple didn�t even bother to improve, or change some of them in any way- some even have LESS features than their android counter parts, it�s basically a cheap imitation with the ever-popular iphone skin.
According to Steve jobs, these "revolutionary" new technologies that android users had since 2007 will be available on IOS5, and it would not surprise me to see some more android features from 2008 on IOS6.But the truly sad part is that due to apples marketing, in a few months, apple lovers will really think that apple invented those features and call android the copycats�yet again.
