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

Go with Three if you need good data deals, you cant really fault The One Plan (as long as you've got good Three coverage, most places have).

Has this been posted yet?

There's some newish benchmarks for the ODROID-A (Exynos 4210 dev tablet with a 1366 x 768 screen) http://www.glbenchmark.com/phonedetails.jsp?benchmark=glpro20&D=Hardkernel+ODROID-A&testgroup=overall

Basically the SGS2 will have the best GPU in any Android phone this year (not including the cheaper Tegra 2 version)

Jolly good!

Unless you want 3D, this phone has got nearly all bases covered, if it gets proper XDA support, it will be fantastic.

You know what, given I am running my Desire stock 2.2, even if XDA-Devs don't pick it up, as long as the stock ROM is acceptable I will still get it.

As will I most likely!

I got an e-mail from mobiles.co.uk last night inviting me to pre-order a Galaxy 2. They recommended a deal with Orange. The mobile was free, 750MB Internet, unlimited texts and 600 any network minutes. 2 year contract @ £35 PCM.

No news on the Orange web site. Will Orange offer a better deal themselves?

Think I may go for it.

The Contract will include a % subsidy to apply to a handset, the website will offer what handsets they can into that subsidy.

Its why the likes of Buymobilephones.net can offer handsets for free on contracts with companies that dont even list that phone on their website.

For instance, they are offering the LG Optimus x2, for free, on an 18 month contract on T-mobile 600 mins, 500 texts, unlimited internet, £30.

Give it a couple of weeks and you can get the same on the Galaxy s 2 and save yourself some cash.

which one is the one to go for?

I assume you mean out of all the new phones? This or the EVO 3D most likely.

Looks to be a pricey phone only free on a £35 contract.

You can get it for £29.99 on a £30 Vodafone contract though, bit better.

 

[Jabbs]

Ill get it at some point just not in a rush to get one straight away.

Oh, we'll see about that

 

[Robbo]

Mobiles.co.uk have informed me that they are expecting this to be in stock on or before the 25th of April.

Here's hoping.

^^^ As long as its ready by 27/04/11...

Dont get your hopes up by the sound of it

You we're saying...

 

[Robbo]

You we're saying...

They must have seen your post and decided to hurry things up

 

[rapid64k]

I hope KIES dont let us down after all this waiting.

so any preorder prices about?

so any preorder prices about?

Of the big retailers the price starts at £498.27 and most top out around the £550 mark. Most are allowing pre-orders so I assume the lowest price will be upheld by the retailer.

I'm gonna try and justify one of these around summer time, not sure if I'll be able to do it though because my Nexus S already zips along Gingerbread, it's hard to imagine it being any faster.

Gives me till summer to see what competition comes out I spose!
