among all android phones, i feel samsung has the best design. htc's design sucks LOL

When mentioning Samsung, one will relate them to Amoled, Hummingbird and Orion (Exynos). They created those things. Surely, you need to dig deeper....

LOLOLOL, technically I am not here on which phone is better. Everyone has their own preference and I am certainly not dissing Samsung on their thread. I was speaking about punctuality about the SGS2 until I was brought out of context. 

Btw, you know who has the worst time lag ever? SE. Don't believe check out Xperia X1 and W960.

AMOLED was the part of the result of the collaboration with Sony back in the days I think about LCD panels. The processors you speak of are not really groundbreaking......

If we didn't have 3D-capable handsets to consider, like the HTC EVO 3D for Sprint, or the LG Optimus 3D, we'd say that the Samsung Galaxy S II will be the Android handset to get so far. It is much thinner than the 3D beasts, though, and the Super AMOLED Plus display alone is a unique enough feature. The Galaxy S II will appeal most to people who prefer their large handsets in a slim and light package, rather than the solid hunks from HTC.

Samsung's Android peak for this season is future-proof not only with its powerful chipset and vivid display, but also with the top-notch connectivity options. You won't find 21Mbps HSPA +, Bluetooth 3.0 HS, DLNA, and the new MHL port combined in any other Android handset, and these are technologies that are about to become mainstream. Nothing wrong with having them here and now, on the excellent Samsung Galaxy S II, a worthy sequel to the handset that set new standards for the high-end Android range.

A source told me #GalaxySII displays a special boot splash if starting a custom ROM or rooted phone. Love the idea. No mention about Kernel
Despite the lack of info for custom Kernels, source confirms that we can flash things. and tells me not to worry

"Another good news! source say Samsung won't use locked bootloaders on future devices unless if Google would require it specifically."

"Source say: On Samsung phone devices, they plan to keep things open like #GalaxyS is."

Excerpt of email sent to me from Clove UK this morning :

We have now confirmed the final UK specification, box contents, launch date and the price of the SGS2. We also have official Samsung Galaxy S II Accessories listed on the Clove website and available to purchase.

The recently confirmed technical specifications of the SGS2 are:

1. The processor chip is Samsung's Exynos chip (not the NVIDIA Tegra 2 chip)
2. The Processor Speed is 1.2GHz
3. The 3G frequencies that the SGS2 can operate on are 850/900/1900/2100 (Quad band)
4. The display type is Super AMOLED Plus
5. The internal storage capacity is 16GB.

At the moment there is no news on the availability of a version of the SGS2 with 32GB internal memory. At this stage we are not sure if a 32GB version will ever be released.

The price of the Samsung Galaxy S II is GBP 440 pounds + VAT.

The official launch date of the Samsung Galaxy S II is Sunday 1st May. This is a bank holiday, as is Monday 2nd May, so the first orders will be shipped on Tuesday 3rd May.

The Box Contents of the Samsung Galaxy S II are:

.. SGS2 I9100 handset + battery
.. UK Mains Charger
.. MicroUSB cable
.. 3.5mm Stereo Headset
.. Quick Start Guide

received same mail this morning, so did u re-place your order uncle benny ??    or u wait local set ??

I did not place back the order as :

1. If unlucky stuck at customs, I will have to go all the way to Shah Alam to get SIRIM permit, pay custom duites - all these will cost me another RM 300. The sum I don't really mind, it is the hassle - just going to Shah Alam will take me 4 hours driving up !

2. According to buntutwoman ( he is quite reliable source ) - the phone will be available thro telco this May. And Clove UK can only send out on May 3 - so not much difference. Already waited so long, what is another 3 weeks

3. Pricing - I reckon it should be around RM2.5k max. MY postpaid contract just expire this month - well I can sign up a new contract and get it cheaper as I still do need the postpaid data contract line

A few guys has PM me and requested me to buy on their behalf but the issue of point 1 is worrisome. Actually I don't mind doing it if I am in KL if the buyer is willing to pay for the extra charges

No MHL cable adapter in the box content of SGS2???

I have a question on the MHL cable, is it current MHL will output 3D game to HD tv???  or the current version MHL just be able to output image and full HD video 

Don't take me too subjectively ok, please? I put more of the stress on the Apple like design from Samsung, generally they are OK but nothing exceptional and...yeah compared with HTC they are lagging pretty bad right there. Like with HTC people talk about their Sense, SE is about the camera, Samsung??? Browsing??? NFC???? TouchWiz??? Puhhhleaseeeeeee 

There is no MHL cable available in the market yet.
The first version of MHL cable is only able to output Full HD instead of 3D, however they are now working on 2.0 version to enable 3D.
By the way, Samsung replied a post in Facebook that Hong Kong will be getting Tegra 2 processor with Super AMOLED plus.
Not sure how true is this, but Samsung fans in Hong Kong are sure crying out loud and complaining at their Facebook page now.
