The storage is same as SGS (if you referring to 16GB SGS), in fact... SGS2 lost around 2GB storage compare with SGS. Dunno where it went  hmm.gif

rumor is that Tegra 3 is coming along with Nexus 3, which will most probably be the first phone that comes with Ice Cream

btw, from all the feedbacks in this thread, why does it not sound like the 9/10 phone that is being reviewed at Engadget? hmm.gif

rumor that LG producing quad core end of this year or early 2012? biggrin.gif read it somewhere.

LIke i said earlier too battery life is the main reason i get SGS II. Other than that is not an issue for me. Sense 3.0 ka, TW ka, Motoblur ka, so what... I"m not a super duper geek guy.. As for average consumer feel all of the UI is good but cmg from htc sense to TW i prefer TW more. Personal preferences.. One thing in this year or cmg years is I need front facing camera as well. Haha.. =D

yeah personally i also feel touchwiz is not bad at all... but htc sense offers more in terms of user experience.. the interface and interaction between user and the device is richer in sense.
however i do notice one thing i like in the SGS 2.. the message and email layout in landscape mode.. cool!  thumbup.gif

YEah, and that is something new to me. Honeycomb style. biggrin.gif

Wow, so many bad review about SGS II. Not sure what you all want from a smartphone. Overall TW is good enough out of the box. 15hr and counting for my battery with 30% left. thumbup.gif

@oldKyoo I just played Glyder 2 and I'm not sure why your phone lag but mine is fine.


Simple homescreen. biggrin.gif

hmm, 2 questions i have here cuz i'm thinking of buying SGS2 and that's gonna be my first android phone since i'm using symbian last time, pls answer it. really appreciate it much.

1) we root the phone in order to change the lockscreen and make the phone works better. so after we root the phone, can we update the phone like usual or we need to root it back again in order to update the phone?

2)what apps do we need to install in order for us to have chinese language inside the phone which is without chinese language at the first place?

thanks.

1) you dont have to root your phone to change the lockscreen. Just dl any lockscreen apps in the market, ie widgetlocker
Most of Android user root their phone is to use custom rom or kernel or update faster or to use some features that your phone doesnt have.

2) This i don know because i'm "banana" laugh.gif

Don need root (JB is iphone term) to get paid apps for free. Price of one app doesn't cost you so much isn't it.



Anybody here know what radio app that I can listen to Hitz.fm?

Well iirc, piracy talk is frowned upon anyway, so nah, don't think I'm being harsh. Besides, to ensure a healthy developer environment, piracy has to be discouraged.

Or maybe it's just my lack of sleep getting me cranky  shocking.gif

So do you buy mp3 song or download ? tongue.gif

Haha, I buy CD's and then rip into lossless formats. I'm not trying to take the moral high ground here. It's just that a lot of these developers are independents who pour a lot of their own money and hard work into developing these apps. A lot of them are only 1-5 dollars anyway, so why not show a bit of love?  smile.gif

And the tone from before is because I'm under the impression that piracy talk is not allowed. If I'm wrong, then I stand corrected.
Anyway off topic, back to more SGS 2 goodness!  biggrin.gif

Haha... I know what you mean. Just wanna tease you a bit. brows.gif

Back to SGS. How to play Hitz.fm on android phone? Any recommended app?

Try finding the app called tune in radio, its free in the market, plus its got an extensive list of radio stations around the world, I use that app to listen to power 98.

Anyway, im still giving the swtpe keyboard.a go before I totally declare it not suitable formy daily uaage.

I also have to add.the frustration of typing on lowyat forum, the screen keeps jumping,.i wished.samsung had some curser to edit words with pin point precision...
When in landscape mode, its useless, I cant see what im typing.. The screen jumps too frequent in lowyat..

Tried that. Doesn't have Hitz.fm. cry.gif

Swype is nice if you're used to it. biggrin.gif

I have 1 question for the SGS2, does it able to output to a HDMI connector? Something like the SE ARC.

You need a special cable i think, called MHL if i'm not mistaken.
