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

It won't. It'll take at least two years for the supermarkets to implement NFC, if they even decide to do so. It makes more sense to get the phone now, then make your next one an NFC-equipped handset if it actually proves popular.

i dont think it will take that long

i think this will spring up over night at some point

orange/barclaycard just released a phone payment system

That stock did arrive but i believe it was used to forfill older back orders as i ordered my p2go on the 4th and my phone was sent on the 17th and i got it yestarday.

Thats cool Kinda shows how popular the phone is!

 

[_Jimlad_]

can anyone see a way when browsing for contacts in the msg app of how to see just phone numbers?

 

[Richdog]

Stickers are all over eBay (link posted a bit earlier iirc!) and case is from phones4u, my phone was from carphone!

I quite like this one, more discreet than the loud green ones which look a bit nerdy imo http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Android-mobil...essories_RL&hash=item19c5615f7b#ht_500wt_1156

Meh, I wouldn't make use of it, don't like the idea of "unauthorised" mini transactions, at least entering a PIN reminds you that you are spending money. This will just result in more impulse spending.

how is it unauthroised ?

If I remember something I read a bit back, can't someone theoretically nick the phone and use the NFC payments also?

not sure, but wouldnt you just have a pin number on your phone instead

What I've read up on it was that a transaction of less than £10 required nothing other than the touch of the card/phone ala an Oystercard, and these payments would have a period between so you couldn't make multiple transactions directly after another.

i meant that if you lost your phone, it would have a pin number on the phone itself

Just taken delivery of a cate-mate barely there case. Fits really nice, and is a nice case but I'm not sure if I'm going to keep it yet. I normally don't bother with cases as I don't like the extra bulk they add, and this is the same I think.

My beef with it is more about people's stupid spending habits rather than theft.

Memory class of th eonboard memory card?

Had my SGS2 3 weeks now, kept 120 apps of the ones I have installed, battery is improving from 5 to 20 hours and getting better.

Regarding the storage, is it a class 10 onboard the microsd? Do I need a 10 for the exra one you can put in? how do you put int the extra memory card?

Thanks

All I did was an initial full charge -> full discharge to get the battery's monitoring levels set, from there on just charge whenever I want.
