WIFI is never turned off on mine & it lasts easily a day if used in a medium fashion. If I keep 3G/H on all the time then battery life dies a lot quicker so I only turn that on when I need it when I am out & about.

Lets put it this way it is the screen on the SGSII that causes the most drain

What Im saying is that Samsung's software is crap and anyone who wants to defend their software is clueless.

That's a bit rough to say.

Finally upgrading from my Desire to one of these. Should be a few days

So did I you will miss the HTC way of "doing things" for a mere moment" after that you will enjoy the way the SGSII handles things and you wont miss your HTC anymore.

Grr, I can't update to 2.3.5 on my SG2 with Vodafone. I go to check updates on the phone and it doesn't pick any up & I also try it with Kies and still no update is found.

Any idea how I can get 2.3.5? Or isn't it out yet for Vodafone?

I am on Voda and I have 2.3.5 im running stock.

This is why bloatware can affect your phone:
"The story of the Samsung Galaxy S II for Vodafone UK and their GPS issues came to a happy ending as the carrier quickly found the cause and issued a fix. The customized firmware that was distributed with the Galaxy S II on Vodafone had some bugs that caused the GPS inside the smartphone to hunt forever before it acquires a lock (if it manages to do so at all).

Vodafone acknowledged the issue last week and yesterday released a fix that should get rid of the problem".
