Officially a Samsung Fan

The Android is really taking over!

I'm not one to be a first mover. So after the Samsung Galaxy S III launched, I was now starting to examine the benefits of the Galaxy S II.

Yes I know I'm really far behind. But as I said I'm not one of those first movers. When Samsung launches Galaxy S 5 I'll probably be now purchasing my S3.

Needless to say Samsung has begun a revolution in phone technology that even an extremely delayed adopter as myself can appreciate.

Using their devices is so easy and simple; and whereas I thought I'd never like a touch screen anything, I often find myself touching all screens expecting them to "move" in a similar fashion.

I remember when I first graduated to Blackberry from my coveted Motorola Razor. It was the biggest thing since slice bread. I was able to get my emails in my hand! And of course who could deny the benefits of BBM. But just like everything else, people grow, evolve and change. As we have seen with things as simple as the watch, to the things as large as cruise ships, if you don't move with the technology you will be left behind in the dust!

Although Blackberry may still have their market among the younger generation of smart phone users , Samsung, and other Android platform devices, are very quickly taking over the general smart phone users market.

There is a general conception that Android is "cool" and allows for far greater access to content than any other smart phone to date; with the exception of the iPhone of course! for those who can afford such luxuries and wish to be chained to Apple. 

Samsung has been able to introduce to the market a range of smartphones that really target different markets by the variety of functions available. With the Samsung Galaxy Y or ACE there are specific features not available in the SII or SIII but still make you feel that you're doing something "techy".

For someone like my parents who were around during World War II, these "lower" model Samsung devices are great for them.
They were the users of the very first Nokia's - if anyone remembers those.
But when technology starts to look sleek and smooth as this, you can't help but just go out and get one.

I tossed my Blackberry for the Samsung and now  I don't think there's any turning back. I'm still not going to be an early adopter but I think you may see me starting to get really close.
