Ladies and gentlemen, I present you Mobility blog’s phone of the year 2011, the Samsung Galaxy S II:
Founder of MobilityArena. Yomi’s journey in mobile started in 2001. Besides obsessing over mobile phones, he also started creating WAP sites (early mobile-friendly websites created with WML). He began writing about phones in 2004 and has been at it since then. He has owned over 200 devices, from Symbian, Palm, PocketPC/Windows Mobile, BlackBerry/BB10, webOS, Windows Phone, Firefox, Ubuntu Touch, to Android, iOS, and KaiOS operating systems.

I was not expecting anything less. kudos to the symbian war horse Nokia N8 for the good fight. Samsung galaxy s2 raised the bar in 2011 just like fc Barcelona. I hope they will sustained the tempo and improve upon their achievement rather than repenting.
The Samsung Galaxy SII sure deserves it, its known world wide as 1 of, if not the best Android Device. All that it needs now is ICS and Sammy is sure working hard at that.
I join eyebeekay as the appellants in filing statutory perpetual injunction restraining yomi from using the mobility platform in declaring the S2 instead of the N8 as the phone of the year
oops! its being published already!
…..I have no doubt in my mind.
kudos to mobility-inec for a transparent result collation. And to the mobile phone-elect of the year… thumbs up.
At least our votes counted here, unlike in another clime. Lol!
Aye. The Droids have their way.
The invasion of the android is a global phenomenon. It appears Nigeria is part of the global world!
