Glad you are happy with it. Everyone has different needs

I am in same boat as Shah. I own both Nexus One and Galaxy S. Sold the SGS after less than a month ( after trying most of the available roms and a host of lag fixes ) - shortest period I have ever used a smartphone. On a score of 10 to NexusOne the SGS I rate only a 5 ; big disappointment to me. Only plus was its display and video options. Even my converted HD2 on Android is much better scoring a 8 to 9 ( depending on roms )

First retail unlock set pricing for Galaxy S II is £649.99 about RM 3182

Expensive for us as we are thinking in RINGGIT. To the UK consumer it is not. Dollar for dollar their purchasing power is stronger based on same earning of an average guy

I paid RM 2888 for the HD2 ( SIS set ) when it was first launched; a year later price drop to RM 2000 and AP sets only RM 1500

Same for this Galaxy S 2 - I believe the Msian retail non-contract sets should be around at least RM 2599 to RM 2999 basing on Samsung pricing

No news and don't expect any - wait at least 2-3 months to see anything. But for such expensive phones, it'd be wiser and prudent to buy it under telco's plan unless you have just signed up and still has many more months OR MONEY IS NOT and NEVER a problem .

My Celcom postpaid contract ( 2 years ) expiring this month end Feb ; so will temporary use a prepaid . I will have more choices than

I am one of these 70 %. Has never used the camcorder in all my smartphones - just use it once to test just for fun and assurance it works. Well for me , it is just " a nice to have but not really needed" feature. I am more concerned with the phone's WiFI/3g strength, GPS lockup, apps execution speed, and browser/email/tweets download

Not necessary as depends on user. I sold off my ipad and replace it with the MBA 11" mainly because it can do much more and better than the ipad and the form factor is compact and as portable as the ipad. If one get ipad2 plus keyboard it is than no different than a MBA 11"

Galaxy S2 : S$ 1325 Available 18 April - http://www.expansys.com.sg/samsung-i9100-g...ii-16gb-209114/

Optimus 3D : S$ 1099 available April 25 - http://www.expansys.com.sg/lg-optimus-3d-209158/

I don't think VAT is included - add in 17 % the price is £642 which is very close to UK Expansys price of 16GB model at £649.99

Which is close/similar to expansys Spore pricing the 16GB model at s$1325

The previous SGS already retails officially RM 2599 to 2699 - don't think this newerr model can be cheaper , possibly minimal similar pricing as current SGS

One is a 10" tablet while the other is a 4" smartphone ?? It is a unfair comparison . Anyone wishing to buy a highend smartphone will considered all smartphone alternatives . A 10" tablet is out of consideration

Clove pricing is indeed cheap with courier costs GBP 29. My confirmation from them :

YES - as stated in website and email confirmation back to me almost instantly. Took about half a minute for it to verify my credit card and local Msian bank in between transaction with me ( verify credit limit, last bill date, create password etc ) to confirm my card details

Today rate about RM 2260
Even if kena sirim/import don't think will exceed RM 2600. Anyway if needed the extra is the price to pay being early adopter
Last purchase from Clove delivered to my house no issue , didn't need pay anything extra. Let's me pray sama sama this time

Standard warranty is one year. Those who'd like to buy UK sets has to consider too warranty claims if needed. It can be a bit inconvenient as involve sending back items over there and its return back to you - time consuming and you are at mercy of the seller's expediency to help you

I do not have to be too concerned as my daughter is working in London ( 5 years there already ) and my youngest son is also studying in London too. So I have on hand immediate help if I need it. They just have no choice but to service me if I need it !!
Both my Dell Streak and Galaxy Tabs are all UK sets but I bought it locally thro lowyat forumers here
