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

[Fegruson]

Anyone tried this yet?

Got it installed and running but not got any money in my account to purchase any games haha!

Looks like there are some Galaxy S2 owners saying that it works well!

Well, after last night's "out of stock" email, Vodafone emailed me this morning (I only just read it) saying that my handset was in the warehouse and would be dispatched soon. The next question is, is that the truth, or just their way of responding to my rather arsey email?

It could go both ways as no one in VF knows what each other is doing.

One thing I can say i hardly do on any phone i have had is game, play the odd game of angry birds if waiting for the bus but apart from that I can't see the point in gaming on a phone.

does this essentially make the nvidia games work?

 

[Snax]

do the sides of the official samsung case sit higher than the screen? So if I put the phone, in the case, face down, would the case be the contact point of the phone?

The Zenus cases are now turning up on Ebay for less than 30 quid includng delivery... I am VERY tempted by the E'stime leather case in chocolate brown, looks sexy as hell http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Zenus-Samsung...main_3&var=&hash=item8264679e01#ht_6125wt_905

The Masstige synthetic leather version with kickstand is available too, but I dont like that it seems to have less cover http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Samsung-Galax...ags_SR&var=&hash=item76c043351f#ht_4122wt_905

Zenus Anaconda here http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Zenus-Samsung...ain_3&var=&hash=item80107af115#ht_5153wt_1139

Possible HTC Sensation defector here!

One question, is the lockscreen easy to change? Not keen on the standard one!

Anyone seen this deal http://www.affordablemobiles.co.uk/..._ii/17707447.html?source=webgains&siteid=1300

Also £60 cashback available from topcashback.com

Ok least i know you can change it, I assume xda will also be working on new stuff.

What is the pin lock like on the s2? Can't seem to find a pic or video of it?

 

[Mr. Brightside]

Anybody think we should start a separate owners thread so that people discussing networks/contracts/prices etc. can post in here and then device customisation and software discussion can go in the owners thread? This one is pretty long already and it can be hard to find things!

 

[Robbo]

Just one thread is fine, it will be huge either way and just as hard to find things.

 

[RBL]

I agree it could be good to have separate thread for SGS2 mobile deals, stock issues and delivery problems, but I guess if you take that away there will be hardly anybody left posting here

Doesn't look much different to others, you can choose the background. Mine is different from the dektop one.

Anyone know when I'll be able to upgrade to this on Orange? I'm on the Dolphin 40 plan (£30 p/month 24 month contract), I've been offered an upgrade a couple of times but always thought I'd just get a cheaper/shorter contract, but looking around there isn't much better.

When going to 'upgrade your phone' on the Orange site the Galaxy S ii is there but it just says 'coming soon', yet it looks like you can get the phone if you're taking out a new contract?

Why not go into somewhere like phones 4 u and see what they can offer on upgrade.

Has anybody got a present for Handbrake?

Looking to rip/encode my boxset of The Wire to watch while on lunch at work.

I got an upgrade offer from Phones4u of £35 p/m which gets me 900 mins, unlimited texts and 750MB of data with the phone being free. The guy on the phone also sorted me out with 35 free picture messages per month and free access to BT openworld hotspots.
