Samsung Galaxy S II

Anyone got one? Thinking of getting one on this deal. Quite an upgrade from my ZTE Blade.

Quote by EngadgetFor a handset with such a broad range of standout features and specs, the Galaxy S II is remarkably easy to summarize. It's the best Android smartphone yet, but more importantly, it might well be the best smartphone, period. Of course, a 4.3-inch screen size won't suit everyone, no matter how stupendously thin the device that carries it may be, and we also can't say for sure that the Galaxy S II would justify a long-term iOS user foresaking his investment into one ecosystem and making the leap to another. Nonetheless, if you're asking us what smartphone to buy today, unconstrained by such externalities, the Galaxy S II would be the clear choice. Sometimes it's just as simple as that.

What deal did you get?
Parent
Well I work at Orange so I was able to get an advanced shipment of the phone, without them putting the bloatware and shit on.

I'll be paying £19 p/m, 300 Mins, Unl Text, 1GB Data, 50 MMS and I paid £39.99 for the handset
Parent
Nice, I'm guessing that's a staff deal only? Seems like a bargain.
Parent
Yeah staff only, around 45% off a standard tariff of 18 months.

It isn't on sale to customers until June through Orange, there doing their normal "testing" (e.g- bloatware addition, slow the device)
Parent
Ah fuck that. I have the Orange San Francisco and they really messed it up. Running a custom ROM now.
Parent
Yeah, The San Fran sells so well, I always direct people to XDA and tell em to custom rom it!
Parent
Help a fellow crossfirer out and tell them to go here - http://orangesanfrancisco.co.uk/

My site btw :p Dunno if you will know, but when will they get more stock on the orange.co.uk site? They pay good commissions.
Parent
Yeah no worries! Stock has been porr all round for 2 months, instore and online!
Parent
fuck it must be awesome => OWESAMAAAAA!
android system and dual core <3333
why u buy samsung? does it got 3d camera and stuff???


get something for HTC
Oh no.... not 3D pictures. And HTVC?.... because HTC phones in Europe have the ability to take 3D pictures.....

<sarcastic>

Ordered mine yesterday after playing with it in the shop - seems to be really good. Went for a deal on t-mobile internet 500 or something which was very good rate.

Just gotta wait for it to turn up now
i am using samsung mobile phones since years and i was pretty satisfied with it. around 1 - 1,5 years ago i have bought a touch mobile phone, the Samsung Jet S8000 and i have to say it is totally bullshit.

it's slow, it stucks from time to time and the touchpad is just....you need to punch it sometimes to write something. don't know if that S8000 was something like a "beta" test or something like that but i hope the galaxy woulnt be such a fail as mine.

that's my "experience" that i made with samsung touch phones so far :)
going to get it! =)
