my Samsung Galaxy S vs LG Optimus x2
recently, LG Optimus x2 has a new TV ad showing the phone takes only 4.6 seconds to load Yahoo HK main page. I surfed their website and found they have another claiming that it takes 7.6 seconds (average result via wifi) to load aastock.com (Traditional Chinese version) and ready for challenge. so i did some tests on my Galaxy S ...

- the results were obtained with a non-stock and modified Galaxy S ROM I9000XWJS8, without overclocking
