How long?
why is it available on orange from mobiles.co.uk and not orange?
Mobiles.co.uk can do your upgrade for you on behalf of the network, but I doubt loyalty discounts would be carried over. You could always call them and ask.

Well it's upgrade time for my dad again, it looks like a choice between this and the Desire S. Thoughts? I've been out of the loop a bit...
This. The Desire S is no comparison.
Do you think there is a reason for that? I don't want to use a different charger and damage the phone.
Hello friends!
Today I was on a photo assignment after which I wandered around town at the phone shops. Nipped into CPW to look at their cases only to walk out lolling at the prices (£25 for a piece of plastic from Case-Mate...).
I chatted with the guy who served me as I was checking out how the various cases felt on my phone, he seemed to know less about phones than me to the point where he said I should work there ¬_¬
Anyway, I checked out the Samsung official case and was surprised the GS I version was £14.99 compared to the £9.95 of the GS II one. I tried it out and liked it a lot, compared to other cases I bought online (Desire included) the Samsung one kept the expensive look and feel of the phone and also kept the slimness of the phone too so I bought it.
I know I've ordered this one already so when it arrives I will compare both but I will likely end up using that as my dash mount or if the holder I bought is actually good then will give it away on here because I'm awesome like that
Previous pics online stores of the official case don't give the impression of it looking as expensive as it does in person so hopefully my pics will help change that
The material is plastic/rubberised but it's not as rubbery as other cases, it won't show finger greasy marks like others and appears to be black inside and out so chips/scrapes won't show the undercoat which is good news as my Desire case had white showing on every edge!
I like the drilled look too, I don't think it's to help heat escape but more a design feature and does help grip too.
It also provides a bit of a lip on the front so if the phone is placed face down then the screen is protected from surface contact.
Well worth the <£10 asking price!
Edit*
I hear they're a bit cheaper on eBay too.
Went in P4U near me and they wanted £19.99 for it so ended up ordering from the link I was given on here from ebay for £9.

I ordered mine direct from http://www.zenuscase.net/ but there was some French site posted a few days back that also had them.

Upgrade day is here! 
T-Mobile don't have the SGS2 yet, most sites want a hefty chunk of cash to upgrade

£20!
It was £7.95 in mine
Ridiculous the differences in prices through the same company.
Usb is a standard, so if that damages the phone it's Samsungs fault.
the Samsung charger actually has a high enough charging capacity it's just that the SGS2 draws less amps than the desire.

Has anyone managed to get Dungeon Defenders FW working on the S2 yet? It reputedly works on the Galaxy 1 so it should work here, but I get no picture when I run it.

will the cases work with good quality car mounts that are made for the samsung? i don't fancy taking off the case and swiching to the car mount a few times i day i know i'll just end up not using the case for general use if so.

Hi guys, completely new to android.
How do you change everything from the background like clocks, fonts etc? I've seen most people on here with different desktops and such and mine is still bloody standard! How do I change it?
