I got one, had it a few months and love it. The screen is excellent, its fast, got good memory, camera is good, battery is pretty good. Got nothing bad to say about it

Sounds good, what's the UI like? I had a samsung Toco a few years ago and I properly hated the UI on that, it was wank. Got a new HTC Wildfire S on Tuesday and I really like HTC Sense so I'm hoping the Samsung UI isn't a pile of poop in comparison. Not sure I can get away with rooting my work phone. :grin:

Had mine for a month or so.

Good phone, works well, many people mistake it for an iPhone, but it's better than that  :grin:.

imo the HTC Sense UI is the best, but as a smart phone the SGS2 is awesome. Just whack ADW Launcher and Beautiful widgets on it to replace the standard Samsung UI. Or wait for ICS and see what that's like  :wink:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Hate to say it but mine has had to be send back to Samsung to be fixed already.. only had it a couple of months too. :sad:

The charger port goes mental, thinks it's being charged when it's not, MTP Usb initialisation keeps popping up every other second, Vlingo pops up and then goes and it keeps enabling driving mode.

Did that once since i've had it back, but been fine since. it's well looked after too so it's not something i have done  :smiley:

Been an amazing phone when it was working but if i keep having issues then i will be going for the iPhone 4s.

I bought an S2 around 3 months ago and love it to bits. It's fantastic. Although, it does help if you're already familiar with Android.
A friend of mine,  came to the Android platform via iPhone 3GS and found it a difficult transistion. Although, he raves about the S2 now.

My wife has had an iPhone 4S for around a month and having played on that for some time, I'd rather have the S2 - Great all round phone and does everything with ease.
