****The Official Samsung Galaxy S II Thread***

[BoomAM]

Hum, Samsung should make a SoC code named Kryptonite to combat Kal-El.

Anyway SGS III is rumoured to be scheduled for launch by Christmas and will supposedly feature high res SuperAmoled+ edge to edge display, metal chassis and improved processor and GPU package with dual core CPU clocked at 2GHz. It is alleged that this is what has gotten apple's knickers in a twist recently.

Source?

Their jsut wont be a SGIII by chrimbo, christ they wont even have competition from Apple till mid/ late September.

It's less blue than my dad's Desire and that was pretty blue! It has a more neutral tone to it, closer to 6500k than bordering 7000k so it's more natural to daylight than other AMOLED handsets (Nexus S, some Desires, some Galaxy S).

ok theres something up with the wifi signal on this phone, its like one bar in the opposite room of where my router is. hero kills this for wifi signal strength, although the first few pages of a site load quick when browsing on one bar, after that it hangs quite a lot. would firmware be able to fix such a problem.

also i hardly have any photos in my gallery but wow it was taking over 30 seconds too load last night. i rebooted the phone and it cured this. maybe it needs a task killer or something

If you hold the home button down you can bring up the task manager

Just been informed that my order has been "lost in transit". Time to scour e-bay for my phone .

Currently waiting on a call back from o2. Not overly impressed thus far.

Any recommendations on case from people?

 

[Dangerous]

This case arrived for me today and for the price I paid I thought it would be rubbish, but would do until a decent Case Mate one was available. However, I was wrong and it is really good - fits nicely and doesn't add too much bulk:

Bought this one and its alright.

I got the same one from Amazon for 6p more! GUTTED

Yeah, it's useful, cheap, and doesn't bulk it out too much.

 

[spudbynight]

I ordered one of those last week - it hasn't arrived yet. I was ordering it as a stop gap until something better was available.

You got yours cheaper than me. I was stung for £2.99!

Another question - how do you change the wallpaper used for the default lock screen?

Does this protect the corners if you were to drop it?

 

[icehot666]

Well apparently my replacement phone has been sent out today from P4U, so they must have stock set aside for exchanges I would guess..

Yep goes right over the phone and also seems to protect dust getting inbetween the screen and case as well.

Cheers for the feedback, just bought one of those cases in preparation for my SGS II arriving. Also bought a high quality screen protector too, a Savvies http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....80992&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_1199wt_1139

£30 for a case?!?

Hells yeah, spend all that money on the best phone in the world atm and not protect it with the best cases? Seems silly to me.
