Every mobile handset which I have ever owned has outlived the cell-phone network on which it was based; eg analogue, CDMA. Currently my ZTE F165 NextG is still fully functional; and Hellstra has not indicated that NextG is about to be replaced !
The S2 is almost certainly a better phone than the ZTE in all respects other than battery life, despite being three years old now.
Well I can forgive the ZTE not being able to remove apps (which I would if I could) it having no recognizable OS; but I expect more from Android; also as mentioned later, I am a "trailing edge technology enthusiast:" - I seem to become attached and habituated to particular GUI interfaces and a minimum of distraction; eg I much prefer: SeaMonkey-mail to Gmail; and SeaMonkey to Mozilla,Chrome, - Even though I very rarely use the ZTE's rudimentary brousing capabilities; I am not impressed by those of the S2; - most of the software (but not all) on the S2 is just rubbish; in the sense of addressing problems unimportant to me. - for example I have disconnected even the ZTE's SMS capacity, - even my online networking is limited to email (no tweeting, Facebook,...) ..................I would diagnose many Asperger character traits ! hoping this provides explanation; if no justification Rohan McLeod
