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

[cu3ed]

Yea charging from mains is a bit of a joke.

Also, if anyone could help or give a reason, I have been trying to send mail via the phone, via my Hotmail account. But here is 3 messages stuck in the outbox, and I cant seem to delete them out of it, been hitting the various ways to delete them out but they wont shift.

 

[.:SAmSuNG:.]

So you didn't get it OTA? Not sure I can be bothered to do it manually.

Sorry for being dumb but what's OTA mean? Its really easy to do it manually. Lots of people had problems with kies so went the odin route.

Over-the-air. Downloaded direct to the phone over a network.

Latest statement from the jokers over at V.F What a bunch of jokers they really are.


"We promised we'd come back to you with the latest information and we've got some good news for Samsung Galaxy S 2 pre-order customers. The device passed the testing process on Friday and the handsets are winging their way to our warehouse now.

We'll start to dispatch them to pre-order customers from Wednesday this week, which means they should arrive within 2-4 working days of 18 May, subject to customers passing our credit check and our regular Ts & Cs for online orders"

I ordered the SGS2 £25 per month T-mobile deal on buymobilephones.net earlier today. I haven't had anything back since the initial order confirmation but they have taken the £49.99 for the phone.

I assume they wouldn't take the payment if I hadn't been accepted for the contract?

Someone from Villain has released a custom ROM this morning. Not read much feedback on it yet, there's a thread over at XDA...

 

[Richdog]

The 'Class 4' one I've just got is a Sandisk, I've done a test and its write speed is 7.5 and read speed is 12.1, that seems fairly good.

Robbo, was that off of Amazon UK?

Think the only fanboy here is you.

Most "anti-apple fanboys" do not hate Apple because they are fanboys. They're smart enough to realise how much of a bad company Apple is, and not just because they're so closed. If i was to list all the things i'd be here all day. I dont purchase Apple products because the company is against everything i stand for.

And there was nothing "decent" about the mac rumours thread, everything the OP has said has been rated down, whether it's true or not, just because he has been blasphemous and mentioned the S2 is a better phone his own kind has turned on him. Really immature.

Are you referring to me or someone else? If me then you couldn't be more wrong, I was merely posting the link as something to have a laugh at on how fanboys and anti-fanboys are dishing it out over rubbish.

Never posted here before... check.

Raging anti-Apple fanboy calling them Nazi's... check.

Won't reply to what you said Khaaan!... check.

The troll is strong with this one.

I very much prefer the Android Market to the App store - way more free and useful apps. I hate the way when you choose an app on app store and it takes you to the desktop to show its downloading - then when you go back to the app store you lose the place that you were previously - it defaults back to the beginning.

Don't like Itunes either. I much prefer drag and drop and organising my own folders etc.

iTunes is hit and miss, its ok for some things, rubbish for others.

With regards to the Market over the App store, there are LOTS of free apps on the App store and generally I find them to be a lot better.

If you genuinely think the Market is better then you're lucky

Anyway, time to go and track down a Galaxy S II case from the knuckleheads at P4U.

Robbo, was that off of Amazon UK?

Yeah. Its 16GB though, incase you didn't see my earlier post(s).

 

[Richdog]

Ahh drat sorry, looking for a 32GB one that can do 6+MB write speeds.

Checked it out (the thread) and posted a feeler to see if my mentioned pointers get included.

Here's hoping, although not overly essential as I'm waiting for CM7 anyway

It probably can. Remember, class rating is only the minimum it has to achieve, not what it will achieve. Most branded class 4 will be well above class 4's minimum requirement.

 

[unwashed potato!]

how do people check sd card speeds? just got 16gb class 10 for £20.00 with delivery. amazed how cheap and small they are in size yet how much storage you get

 

[mrk]

SD Tools app from the Market! My Class 4 8GB Sandisk Mobile ultra gets 8.2MB/s write and 21.2MB/s read.

You'll have more cases than me at this rate!

 

[mrk]

I have a case of case-itus!

It's pre-order though so if it's a tenner I will check it out ¬_¬

My PNY 16GB arrived (class 10) - copied a 500MB file @ 14MB/s.

I thought CM7 was a no-go?

The growing bounty thread points otherwise!

Woo, found a 32GB Adata for 48 quid where I live, so will do some reading up and see if they're any cop with write speeds.

I asked this earlier in the thread but didn't manage to get a response:

Can you watch BBC iPlayer content in HD and pump it out to your TV via hdmi with this handset?
