Ok, after setting up and playing around with the Samsung Galaxy SII this weekend I have to say...
 

... this phone fucking rocks - best one i ever had in my hands. in all aspects.

even the camera is good:

i have seriously found no flaws yet - besides being addicted to Angry Birds now :Oh crap

get one if you can :thumbsup

Thanks! My BB is screwing up and was interested in that phone. Gonna grab one this week! :thumbsup

I will buy one for this!

Photo quality on phones is getting really impressive. Nobody will need a point & shoot camera soon.

yeah - and compared to all phones with cams before, this on is really easy to use. no search for settings, zooming is easy, very quick.

in general the speed with the dual core processor on the phone is very impressive - no lags, no waiting, everything goes quick and smooth

what's the video quality like?

actually pretty good as well, for me totally sufficient considering you have only one device now to carry around.

also the "Kies Air" app by Samsung is cool, you have full access to the phone by web browser and can even play music and videos via DLNA on your stereo while the phone is just lying somewhere around in the room.

looks like this:

They all still blow out on the bright parts, the first pic here has that same problem. The sky and windows are totally blown.

iPhone does the same, although the HDR mode kinda gets round it a bit.

I've not had a point and shoot for years now. If I am shooting, I take my 40D, if I just want to shoot something quick, iPhone is more than good enough.

pretty impressive shots for a phone camera :thumbsup

ok ok fuck.

I have the first edition of Galaxy S and it's been great so far. Battery time could be better, but with the screen quality and all the features built into it I can't really complain.

will have an eye on the battery but yesterday i played more or less the whole day with it incl. playing games and at the end of the day it was still at 30%

Congrats :thumbsup
Maybe I'll get myself one someday :pimp

thats impressive. but ima iphnoney fan :)

hehe - now go and get one :thumbsup

yea, i got the same thing, amazing, its like a pocket size computer

hope all is well man :))))

Get ready to see a lot of this in your future:http://i366.photobucket.com/albums/o...eadBattery.png

Sometimes I wish Samsung mobile weren't Chelsea sponsors so I could buy their stuff...

What is the second car in there?:winkwink:

i would have never guessed those are coming from a phone..

Tatra T87 (1936-1950)

that is one amazing looking sci-fi car and the pics are great.
i'm warming up to the Samsung Galaxy SII.

every day i do a news search for the press release re: the u.s. release date. currently the only news is that the carriers are all dicking with it adding their gooie interfaces and squabbling over a name for it. currently it's called the Attain on AT&T, the Function on Verizon, and the Within on Sprint, it may be out in july.

very well, thanks for asking, Mark! same with you, i hope! :)



it's obviously already available in Phoenix, see above :winkwink:

unless he somehow got one of the ultra rare $800 unlocked ones, he's mistaken about which galaxy he has.

hmm, i wish you good luck then.. :)

i paid about $280 cause my contract was due anyways

Hehe, that's a problem with many of the 'big' phones out just now.

Very nice pics with the cam though. My Digital Camera is 13.6megapixels. I didn't expect mobile fones to catch up so soon...

That is very cool. I have a Samsung Galaxy S but the first version. Where do you get that Kies thing?

the desktop version is here: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Interne...GSM/Kies.shtml

the "Kies Air" i got from the Samsung App Store that was already installed on the phone. you need to remove the check mark to install only Android Market apps to download it

I have the S2 as well and I'm just as impressed.. the phone fucking rocks.. and for expert users, like I assume most webmasters are, iPhone is not a fucking option compared to Android... You have alot more freedom with the Android.. like being able to download any file and FTP it to your server etc.

Tip to MaDalton, turn off the automated brightness control and use black as your desktop background.. that will bring you alot of extra battery life.. and, kill all the apps as often as possible..

thanks - will do that! :thumbsup
