By the looks of that anandtech review for the gs2, I will not be getting rid of my ipod. I have a temporary gs1 which has pretty crappy audio, and the s2 is supposedly worse.

With voodoo installed the GS1 is probably the best sounding phone out there. So yeah...

I'm at a dilemma. Samsung Galaxy S2 or iPhone 5? Audio quality shouldn't matter as I already have a 3rd gen iPod touch to use as my portable source.

I now have the gs2, and I think anandtech may have just gotten a lemon, because I do not hear the interference that they talked about. It needs a headphone amp, but no load related noise to speak of.

iPhone 5 isn't released yet so we can't compare it yet. Anyway, the S2 is a brilliant mobile phone (everything except for mediocre battery life and audio) and the camera + video quality is astonishing.

Folks: i have an iPhone 3GS and despite it has been a truly great performer in the audio area i was thinking in upgrading that smartphone for an HTC Sensation or the upcoming XE (if that Beats things is not the marketing bulls**t i'm afraid it's gonna be...) but i was wondering how would it drive balanced armature iems.
Cause i don't know about the output impedance of the HTC Sensation and HTC won't tell me about it. I would give up the convenience of the iPhone (i.e.Speaker docks) for a bigger screen but only if the headhphone out keeps up with multidriver balanced armature headphones. The RMAA's of GSMarena are driving dynamic headphones so the don't tell a thing about how would the HTC would cope with armatures.
Does the HTC Sensation headphone out keep up with SE530, Westone 4, UM3x... and this kind of iems ?

If you want a bigger screen, the iPhone 5 is rumored to have a 4" screen. It's going to be announced in a couple of weeks so I would wait until then to see if it's true.

Macrumors called it the iPhone 4S and say that it has a small possibility of a larger 4" screen

There's rumors that there will be both an iPhone 5 and an iPhone 4S. I guess we'll see when it's announced. Supposedly it will be announced on October 4th.
