From looking around the net in the past I have seen lots of horror stories with Gorilla glass where people have got scratches on from nothing more than it being in there pocket on its own.

So has anyone been able to get quidco on the affordablemobiles deals?
Parents got a very similar looking case for similar money for their desire/wildfire. I find that the case held the phone in place quite poorly.

I have mine set at one tick above the lowest setting. If I have it over half way it really does hurt my eyes :/
Thanks for that. I bought the phone outright and am on Vodafone so assume there's no issue. May also be using a T-Mobile SIM in the future depending on how it goes. I'll see how the update goes first, having a browse around though it seems you can have some nifty stuff working (which I may or may not use) if the device is rooted.
This. When I first got it, several workmates exclaimed, "**** me that's bright!"
I'm thinking theirs something wrong with mine then, as mines on full brightness but its not overwhelmingly bright. Ill try and get into a phone shop to compare first.
I found various MHL cables online for £20 but they are for the Sensation. Since MHL is a standard and not a brand specific format I assume the cheaper HTC one will work on the GS II because the Samsung one is £5 dearer?
Pre-Order right now of course, Early June the release is stated as.
It gives it that "Military" look to it doesn't it, like how a Corsair PSU looks "Military", that it means business

Just got mine as well. I do like it but the bottom and the top feel very exposed.
Corning themselves market is as scratch resistant on their website, so I think its safe to say its one of its intended functions http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/innovating-with-gorilla
However, it will only go so far.

Thanks for that Jacob, gives me a little more hope lol!!! So did you go to Quidco and click the cashback link for affordablemobiles and then on another tab open up the deal you wanted and buy it from that tab and Quidco still tracked it?

Finally, I have received my PAC so I can look at getting my GS2.
I have been reading this thread, drooling, for weeks and weeks

Really tempted to get one of these and give my iphone4 to my girlfriend. However when i got the original Galaxy i had GPS issues and Bluetooth issues. Can anyone confirm that these have been ironed out?
The GPS issue was notable when using a jogging application and the BT was when connecting to my pioneer car stereo to play music it kept stuttering.
The only other thing was Golfshot was not available on android, and now it is i can see no reason not to switch. Just need to workout wether to buy it outright or get a contract.

GPS and BT are super in the SGS2

Looked it up, it's about 670 Vickers which is typical mineral glass, I guess they'd just about call that 'scratch resistant'. Trouble is dust/sand/grit is often quartz at a 1000+ Vickers. The only thing you're likely to use that really is scratch resistant is a sapphire glass watch at about 2200 Vickers. I think the bigger problem is the Oleophobic coating which will scratch easier than the glass.
