P.S if this video has already been posted sorry but man oh man is this tempting considering im currently a galaxy s owner and i only thing i didnt like was the GPS issues
Wow looks amazing..
I think im gonna use touchwiz this time too instead of launcher pro... looks well nice
Yeah it does look amazing + super fast response. I want it now
Sorry but I can't get used to that british accent lol. Some of the phrases he uses made me go, "What?"
And if he had used a better cam to record his review it would have been even more shocking how smooth and quick this beast is

Agreed. Still a decent little video. Everything I've seen come out in the past few days makes me glad I pre-ordered.

What makes you think it is just one week left? 8 days to May 1st, the UK release day, then around a week in transit. So two weeks, right?

My point was it would be more than one week, and you supported it
Re Fedex - what if the customs stop your package out of all, decide to open it, and then send you a bill for the customs fee? Such packages often spend extra 1-2 weeks at customs, and end up costing more to the recipients.
I have no info on the number of packages checked by the US customs though. I never ordered anything expensive from abroad. I bet the chances of customs intervention are very very low.
UGHHHH did you see that video?!?!?! WOOOO i couldnt help but get a huge grin a few times in that video.. its so freaking [email protected]#$ that we rule game looks good, is it available in the market now?

Looks very fast in that video, but in this video when its compared to the lg optimus 3d its dog slow, takes around 8 seconds to load the benchmark while the lg takes 1 second, could this be the dual channel memory advantage?

it could also be the pre-production model disadvantage. we will never know exactly what those pre prod models are doing and why they are so slow (relative to other dual cores PROD models). For sure Samsung has premature drivers on them, extra software that is logging everything for troubleshooting and performance follow up, etc. DO not even judge SGS2 by the pre prod models .

Lmao dual channel memory.. given that this LG has 512MB of RAM and that this "dual" thing means that it is cuted in two, there is not much left for it to shine vs the 1GB DDR2 RAM of the GSII...
it s just that it was a very early prototype of GSII, that's all story
Aren't they all prototypes? Even with paltry 512mb of ram that optimus 3d seems to load that game pretty quickly, almost too quickly you gotta admit that.
wow thank you for handtec link! I might actually buy it from there! thanks
Just saying hello I just got this phone, I came from the tmobile gs2. the tmobile gs2 was nice but this phone is sooo much better, cause of the exynos and much more development!!! glad to join the team!!
In that case, I'd like to warmly say ...
I hope this thread isn't a sign of things to come from your time here.

Im sorry I wont be making any more pointless threads. Im just excited to have this phone.
Well, I would like to say welcome, and glad you are happy with your new toy.
Regards
Congratulations on moving to the real sgs2 yo
Just be careful and don't damage it lol
This is a pointless thread that I would make as soon as I got a toy like this! Love my phone still and its been over 9 months. Phones never last me longer than 6 months. Congrats on the new phone
Welcome aboard fella. Enjoy your stay..Here you can get women, smoke cubans and above all have a sexy gorgeous phone named the Galaxy S2....Welcome to paradise
Cool phone..time to start rooting and roming!

oh dont worry first thing I did when I got home was root it and try out codeworkx's cm9. Besides the little bugs I love it, cant wait till the official release!!! That was a big part of me getting the phone, it'll have ICS on it way before the tmobile gs2!!
Btw if you want to root.... its so easy on this phone
Enjoy
I have had this for 2 month on t-mobile and am very happy.
Well, the rest 100.000 of us here on the forums also got this phone. Now imagine if we would all create a new thread to express our joy. Wouldn't that be a cesspool? Just saying...
Yeah, good job, it's a nice phone. Take care of it.

Thats what i did after unboxing
Congratulations
First of all, congratulations on getting your new phone. I can only say that this phone is still one of the best out there, especially for the developments made for this phone (credits to the developers). For me, it was my 1st android phone. So, I had a pretty long time searching for what I can do to this phone to bring out it's inner capabilites. One of them, is to root your phone and install ROMs inside. Since I love to customize my phone, I feel that rooting is essential for me and went ahead to root my phone. If you are considering about rooting your phone, do take note that the warranty will most probably be void

Would anything change?
Instead of creating threads that we bought this device we just spam the CyanogenMod 9 thread and annoy the developers.
It wouldn't cause more useless posts, just different ones.

I received the i9100 as a gift and I use it on T-Mobile, and it sucks to be stuck in 2G. I love this phone to bits, but I'm looking forward to an upgrade so that I can hand this down to my girlfriend since she's on AT&T.

Your thread was bumped up because someone's trying to get 10 posts to post in dev section... Gotta love it. At least his post was a real post, not others like "Hmmmmm..." 10 times in 10 different post.

Nice to see us early adaptors have a new home to talk about. Really looking forward to the next week or so. I really don't want to customize it, since its all for nothing once we get root and have to wipe clean.

tell me about it. my "retired devices" bookmark folder is getting bigger and bigger. up to 5 devices now.
the new N7 is an awesome device though. only had it for a couple hours now with very little time to play with it (at work) but dat Screen is amazing. and coming from a galaxy nexus, and an old N7, this thing just flies. I couldn't imagine if they put a snapdragon 600 in this thing.
For the first time ever has some one actually came up to me and said "is that the new Nexus?" I was at the gym last night and some dude on the other side of the place spotted it. ( it's big) Anyways this never happened before using the N5 so it was pretty cool to actually talk to someone and let my geek out explaining all the cool things I can do with the Nexus phones.
This man's living the dream.

The only phones I've had that got attention were the OG Droid(got it launch day, tons of people commented on it the first few weeks), and the Note 2 and 3 for their size. I am expecting the size of the Nexus 6 to get some attention.

Forget the N6 being an eye catcher, people everyday look at my original Motorola RAZR and smile (laugh); and they usually point at me to let me know how much they like my phone.

Nerds dont hang out at gyms. Be honest, you were at Friendly's and this dude offered to buy you ice cream....
Have you all seen this?
https://youtu.be/wB6MId15cpo
Man... I already bought my edge and they come out with this.
Well as youll know it wont be available stateside or Europe or here in bonnie Scotland. Its a nice edition but im more than happy with my Black Sapphire.
Although if i had the choice hmmm lol
The color combi is nice. However, the Ironman design at the back could be a turn off for some people who aren't fans.
I'm not really sure how coming out with new colors is gonna boost sales. Initially they already had black, white and gold. If someone would want an S6, he would have bought it by now (or maybe wait for blue/green)
I'll be 42 next month. I think I'm past the point where I find a phone dressed in super hero dress cool ?
