Good enough to play 1080p videos on my TV (via a reader), and good enough to record HD on the LG 2x

Hold down the power button, thats one way at least

Cheers, I was convinced it'd be in the notifications bar and I was just being blind!

 

[cu3ed]

Is their a good site for widgets/ icons etc?

 

[rapid64k]

Maybe im being stupid but is there a shortcut to enable/disable network data connection?

i dont have the phone yet but i thought there was a drop down menu which contains widgets to enable you to turn connections off and on?

Not for enable/disable network data I'm afraid.

Its nice that Samsung have stolen Home+Power button from Apple for easy screenshot taking

 

[stooeh]

Try holding the power button in and should be a disable data network thing, not sure if it works properly mind.

Mine came this morning, light years ahead of my nokia xpress music 5800

So you can't customise what widgets appear in notification area??

Poor show

In the flesh and up close the S II looks so posh lol, looks heavy as you're expecting it to be but pick it up and it's almost as light as as an AA battery you think "buh!"

More to come...

 

[Sunbed]

you think "buh!"

Spare us the commentary on how you switched it on. We've all handled a phone before.

There's only so much I can do sat at work

Maybe I should work!

Well they pay IT monkeys to work so you might as well break the habit.

guys unsure what to do, seems to be a mixed back if a different network carriers sim will run? can i ask who took advantage of the o2 deal and then stuck a diffident sim in. i see above fen739 had no issues.

Think its a lottery, but if you do the £13.50 contract deal with cashback (cheapest way of getting the phone anyway) they'll unlock your phone for free. Its only Payg you have to pay for.

I like the look of this case - http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/krusell-dons-leather-pouch-extra-large-p28047.htm

But correct me if I'm wrong, that isn't going to fit a Galaxy S II properly according to those dimensions, is it?

(Even though the website says it will)

I just got this case delivered:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004SC9NG8/ref=oss_product

One of two cheap sleeve cases I bought from Amazon, seems quite nice, kinda suede-ish but not quite as nice outer with a softer inside covering, phone fits in quite nicely (snugly enough to not fall out even without the little hook bit at the top), not sure I'll ever use the pocket at the front though...

I'll post again once I receive the next one

 

[londonbairn]

I got a black soft gel case from ebay for £2 or so, it's actually not too bad! Pretty sturdy and will protect the phone well...waiting for a Zagg Invisishield now

 

[mrk]

Hmm, one option I am going to find annoying that it's missing is the volume option to sync the notification and ringer volumes, having the choice to turn it on or off was handy, anyone know if it's hidden elsewhere?

 

[TheVoice]

Still nothing. Yodel are useless, they might have changed their name from Home Delivery Network but clearly nothing else has changed.

Samsung Galaxy S II
125.3X66.1X8.49mm

Krusell DONSö Leather Pouch - Extra Large
Inner Dimensions: 125 x 68 x 15 mm

Looking at that it'll move around in the pouch, could almost squeeze two of them in there.


I've just went with a cheap rubber case for now, going to get the PDair leather flip case when it comes out
