Buy SGS II The best choice right now.

SGSII sucks, buy the ARC if you want a phone now, or wait to the end if the year for SE to release a dual core phone.

yes, the best rated android phone of all time (by ALL major electronic reviewers) sucks LOL
Better to listen to some random guy and get a phone with an outdated processor, for the same amount of money. Instead of getting an incredible phone, get a mediocre one for the same price!!
Cmon, there is being a fanboy, and then there is just plain being an idiot.

in term of design...i will go for arc....sleek looking...really nice to hold...
if i term of spec take SGS2...if ask me i go for arc....

Arc is outdated now, imagine 6 months from now? If you were going to do that I'd say just stick with your x10 until a phone worth upgrading to comes out. The arc is hardly an upgrade, and costs the same as the sgs2.
Would be a stupid move imo.....

Look what the SGSII lacks Great phone, but some standard functions miss on it. I would say, stick to x10 till quad-core is released with the functions the SGS2 lacks. I really don't care that the phone is soo thin.

I am hearing a lot of complaints regarding the battery of SGII
specially when the second CPU kicks in

You're not mature, get out thanks. Fanboy reviews only tell the positive things, but the phone lacks many standard functionality. It wouldn't be a smart choice to upgrade from a x10 to SGS2, only if you go for the CPU/Screen. But it's a phone, what kind of screen do you want LOL?

You're just kidding, right?
The SGS2 is by far the best Smartphone on the market.

Yep it is. If I would buy a new phone today it would be SGS2 surely.
But it is missing an Camera button and notification LED. But these are not deal breaker.

I don't think that's the real design shown on the net. SE's phones are always revolutionary in design and I certainly do not want an "Arc-head-Neo-butt" phone. But the specs are not just nice, it's incredible. But there's no official announcement so.. :\
Yes I've read the new Arc S but I doubt it's going to be much of an attention anyway. They could have at least increased the RAM or just a little modification but nothing. Anyone could've flashed a custom kernel and get it up to 1.8Ghz on 8255 chips.

those who wanted 1.4 just got an option

anyone planning to get the new google prime?

Just want to get people's opinions. I want to thank the Devs for all their work for prolonging the lifespan of my x10 lol. It's been a few years and with the new google Prime I think i want the new hardware. Any1 else planning to get Prime?

If u still believe in SE, might want to wait til early next year. I can guarantee you won't be disappointed with what SE has to offer That's what I'm waiting for. Samsung never gained my trust with their build quality.

I'm holding out for next year as my work may be subsidising some handsets for staff, and they tend to be good on these things, I'm hearing up to 50% off from HR at the moment. Of course, I am also risking the handsets they have being old and grey...
But that's the chance you take when your sick of paying loads each month on a contract to get a good phone.
Back to the topic, Samsung's screens are just amazing. I was thinking about getting the S2 a few months back. I just never really was a Samsung person either and the Prime looks great. It's a real hard decision for me on whether to wait or get one now.
Specs look good, but not as groundbreaking as I was expecting from the new "Google phone". I suppose that might be due to the fact that most apps/games will run just fine on current hardware and they haven't really begun to support dual core properly yet. So no point in expanding the hardware when it will price the device out of the market for no real gains.

also with the processor at 1.2mhz really not helping either

1.2 or 1.5....I really don't care all that much. Main thing is the optimization to utilize both cores. Looks i4s...its only 800mhz and its fast

+ 100 Million Billion Million!!!!!!

All true, but i'm still waiting to see the power of the battery and it's internal storage. The only major things i like about this phone is that it's pure android and that it will release with ICS. If the battery is weak and the internal storage is low, i'm either get the SGSII or wait til something else comes out, cause i got a feeling the Galaxy Nexus is gonna be waaaaaay overpriced for pretty much the same specs as the SGSII, but with ICS(which is nice, but i can wait for the release on the atrix or SGSII) plus it's goin to Verizon first and i'm with At&T soooo........

^^^very true....funny so many are whining about the Nexus being clocked at 1.2 instead of 1.5....5mp instead of 8mp.

i don't have a problem with the camera being 5mp, now with the processor stratax cleared that up for me, but no sd card slot, and a 1750mAh battery is gonna disappoint a lot of people just like the nexus s, which is a great phone but could've been better with an sd card slot for people like me that store a lot of music, videos, etc on their phone. My atrix replaced every other device i had(ipod, digital cam, psp) with the 48gbs it holds. But i do believe the Galaxy Nexus will be a great device, just missing a few things

as for the camera that is true, mp are marketing pretty much. software can make it look better than 99% of 8-12mp cameras out there. hahaha there is no sdcard slot? so many people didnt get the nexus s because of that. you'd think they would learn.. that is the same reason i didnt get the sensation because of low storage. i use my atrix as the same. most of it is music and games lol. which takes up a ton. how can a company make a entertainment device with low storage -_- unless it has like 64gb of storage i wont be happy with it. maybe 32 would be fine but still, im sure it will be expensive.

Am I wasting my time thinking AT&T will subsidize the version with their bands?

if our phone does not recieve ICS or CM doesnt make a port or whatever im leaving android for sure. im tired of having to switch a freaking device RIGHT after i buy it. WP7 is on the lead with actually updating their phones and crap and have good hardware requirements without fragmentation. i know that technology gets updated fast blah blah. its just crap what google does lol. i like the big leap they are taking, but they need to AT LEAST update ICS on all the dual core phones that have been released. that would be pretty sweet

I feel like by the time 8gb is actually needed to run Android, the other specs will be significantly outdated. I think I'll stick with the 6gb model.

The new camera app

A definitive improvement in the camera department would be my biggest reason to go to the OP5.
However, this takes battery life same or better than OP3T and a solid overall performance for granted, given the indicated price range.

IP68 and 4k. My last two phones got water damaged. Not going to buy another phone without IP68
