@ccm bro, how to track my order?
*
I think you won't be able to track your order...
hmm..when I use google checkout, I received email from google..
then there got order number...but I think that is useless unless
after a week they still haven't dispatch your phone, then it could
be useful..

You have to wait patiently for their Air Way Bill number after they
have dispatch your order..

Handtec work very fast if they have stock, I heard they're working
sameday dispatch..

Hi ccm, sorry for another question, from the day u placed order till u received the phone, take how many days ?? hmm.gif I mean DHL.
*
I forgot which date I order..
they got the on 30th..and I assume their 30th , 1st of May and 2nd of May are holiday, but they actually worked on holidays to make sure
they can dispatch the 1st batch of pre-order list on Tuesday.. so my phone was passed to DHL on 3rd May and arrived Kota Kinabalu, Sabah on today 06/05/11
before reaching KK, it was arrived to Kuala Lumpur on 05/05/11... hope this help smile.gif

Ok, just now when waiting for my wife to infront of the supermarket, I tested the phone for a while...

Overall: very fast. I never used Atrix and Optimus x2, but this is really very fast.

Homescreen scrolling - no lagging, very smooth.
Gallery scrolling - seems like the reading speed is very fast, the pictures loads very fast and scrolling is very the smooth.
Web brosing: by default browser - Page loads very fast. Just complain our Internet connection from our telco isnt fast enough.
When using stock browser to browse Lowyat Forum, will have a bit lagg espcecial when u reply using stock browser. I'm not sure why, last time when I use my Nexus One and Nexus S also like that, but problem was gone if use Opera Mobile.

Ok, the scrolling experience is fast, other than fast, very fast, very smooth, my language is limited myself to describe it better..


Camera:
Nokia N86 8mp camera 's colour is nicer than this.
My Google Nexus S colour also nicer than SGS II..
not sure why SGS II colour isn't very sharp..
maybe i was taking indoor and the light isn't bright enough
will test outdoor tomorrow morning..

* no video call in Google Talk as the OS version.. SGS2 only 2.3
Nexus S wins in this point, with 2.3.4 Google Talk can do Video calling wink.gif


Video shooting:
is it 1080p by default? I didn't notice the setting since it's just a simple test. video shooting is very fast and very smooth..u can feel the HD feel.. when you pause the playback, the picture stillness very good.
I think SGS II Video shooting is the best one I've seem.. (i've not seem Atrix, sony ericson Arch, and LG Optimus 3d and x2)

User interface experience:
I still like my Nexus One and Nexus S..the pure google OS..with some customize launcher and widgets.. I love the way how my nexus S works with those widgets, and I love launcherpro 's twitter widgets and launcherpro's facebook widgets... from a Google Development phone user to SGS 2, guys, no offended, I just feel "what is this ?" ... maybe I still not used to it..hope later when I got time I can discover more and love it more.


Keyboard:
I haven't got time to test swype, but the default samsung keyboard is very good enough. the best keyboard i've use is HTC_IME keyboard. and the 2nd one I think is Samsung keyboard (I wont included swype here as I'm only refering to the normal keyboard here) Maybe it's because of the screen size is big enough so it's much easier for me to type on this keyboard compares to Nexus S..

Hand grabbing feeling:
the phone is very light, it's only 0.5KG with box. so the phone itself is really very light.
If you haven't touch Nexus S before, you'll probably doesn't used to this phone as it's too light and sometimes u might feel lose of security when u hold this phone.
The size is big, you might feel not very handy if you comes from Nexus One size phone.. I have 3 belt pouch for mobile phone, 2 cannot be used due to SGSII size..
The battery cover got very fragile feeling. I don't have much confident on it..but the front build of the phone is perfect.. I feel like purposely show off this phone in
Kopitiam, let those Apple folks guess what is this on my hand wink.gif

Ok, I'm stopping here, will continue more with photos later tonight wink.gif

thanks for sharing CCM..

anyway have u seen iphone4 video recording before? if yes, how is this SGS2 compared to iPhone 4..

for me the best video recording is on iphone4 and nexus S - on latest android 2.3.3 (yeah, lower reso but constant 30fps at any light condition)..

and have u manage to test the GPS?

thanks again in advance

hopefully the SGS II won't disappoint me.
*
Nope, I will browse Iphone4 video later in youtube in HQ mode..
How do I perform a GPS test?
I just do normal GPS and search my location in google map..
quite fast also..
I own a Nexus S..the video quality isn't very high, but smooth and clear; )

for me the best way to test gps is by using it.

open google map (brut mod) > find my location (see how accurate it is) > then try to search any place > navigate > and see how fast the signal is locked..

there is gps software out there to test, that can shows how many satellites locked, error and etc.. but i dont care about it as long as everytime i open the google map navigation, it works.
*
I will do that tomorrow when I'm outdoor wink.gif
the google voice navigation is not available in Malaysia..
just the normal navigation I can test..it works well..
tomorrow I will test again when I'm outdoor
