then kudos to the sgs devs @ xda. Darkyy from xda said he will be porting his sgs rom over to sgs 2. That's the excitement for us who is getting the sgs 2.

So apparently the SGS2 has a single port that can be used either for USB or HDMI.

Samsung Galaxy S II first with MHL port for dual-purpose USB or HDMI out

yes,
it has been discussed on SGSII news thread before.
The new MHL port will act as Multimedia port that support HDMI/USB port(converter)..

MHL port is another win feature that puts it on par (or better overall package?) to the Atrix.

I have been drawn towards the S2 lately. Initially I was so convinced of getting the Atrix due to it's specs and the laptop dock. Then came the killer blow: ridiculous price of the dock

I knew that the S2 also has killer specs, but decided to ignore it due the bad press from it's predecessor (lagfix & lousy GPS). Now I'm giving Sammy a chance with the S2 but still not fully decided between the S2 & Atrix. Will wait for pricing & complaints of either phone to flood in before buying.

Just a question on the Galaxy phones. Since they do not have a Search button, is there another workaround to quickly get the search function up, like holding the physical home button maybe? (I'm referring to the S1, since the S1 & S2 has only 3 buttons, I assume they would function the same)

by default, holding down menu button = search button

to top up, a real fuked up shit they gave me on my vibrant on 2.2

it was almost impossible just to root.

so people, dun complain about motorola atrix, if u havent gone to hell with the rooting of a vibrant in 2.2

BTW, I think Sgs2 is sooner then we thought.
even its tablet is coming on march to portugal, yeah im looking at u grey importers!!!!

Think I'll wait for it to come to our shores officially instead of pre-ordering. I'm worried about warranty claiming.

wow, noobie buying 2 units??? damn rich....

Just do it~!

This demo video:

Gosh, looks slightly disappointing. Not as responsive as expected, it seems.

Crap, obviously lag

I think it's only the home screen with all the useless widgets that lags (as in almost every Android phone).

I bet most people here will install alternative home launchers or use the widely-praised Darky's ROM that will be ported from SGS. The main attraction is the hardware, the software can be fixed.

I'm more concern on the GPS lock time.
SGS doesn't do justice given it's price.
Hopefully early adopters of SGS2 can give us a short review after hands on.

This phone catch my eyes perhaps it wil become my first Android phone ?

last time when SGS first launch, people complained a lot when seeing youtube videos. but most of them believed it just a matter of changing home screen.

but in fact, the file system is the one that makes SGS buggy like heck.

so I'm not really sure changing launcher will fix SGS2 ..
