Well looks like you won Supertaff.
man your the first to get one im surprised Orange even turned your sim on so quickly.
What's the loud speaker like? The screen is it the biz? I'm sure you will get round to answering us all when you get some free time but great job once more.

Found a review click here for review

 

[Gee]

The pic showing the apps screen looks immense. Cannot wait to get mine.

After all that excitement, am I the only one who's not that impressed by those pics? Shame as I ordered one, hopefully it is just temporary.

What were you expecting?

What were you expecting?

I dunno, seeing everyone go mad over it, I was expecting to be blown away.

It's a phone lol just a powerful one and without a doubt the best Anroid phone around atm.

Remember I'm no David Bailey and my pics are probably not doing the phone justice.

You did good SuperTaff.

Well they are low-light, poor, grainy images. Wait until Khaaan! gets one and you'll see fancy pictures. Not sure where he is at the moment

I got one ordered from Mobiles.co.uk, Buymobilephones.net and P4U , will just send the others back/cancel when the first one comes.

I'm tempted to just order one from everywhere and see who sends it out first, but I'll probably end up with five phones knowing my luck

Is it easy enough to send back a phone? do you send it back normal delivery or special???

 

[rapid64k]

That review i posted earlier aint that bad.

Never done it lol am hoping the order with P4U goes through first then I can just cancel.

One chap has posted on there forum saying he spoke to the live chat person and she confirmed his phone was with the courier but he has not received a email yet saying its been dispatched so there might be a minute glimmer of hope yet.

TBH, considing its a digital image compressed, the colours and blacks on that screen look good.

Wonder what sharpness is like?.

Its apparently very, very sharp due to the new higher subpixel count.

what are you talking about. You couldn't BE more vague. Are you talking about the pictures SuperTaff took or the PQ of the phones camera or something else?

Well this looks like good news "The standard 1,650 mAh battery took us through two days of use – from off the charger at 7am, through a full day with push email active, the display at maximum backlight while outdoors, lots of photography and some video recording, a couple of YouTube clips, GPS with Google Maps, browsing and some calls, then through the night (again, with push email switched on) and through the next day, only expiring that evening.

That’s ridiculously impressive, and we’ll be watching closely to see if it was a fresh-battery phenomenon or a sign that the Galaxy S II really is in the top tier of current smartphones"
