haha it's so funny to read some of u guys comment..

if any of u ever read my comparison between Nexus S and Motorola Atrix in February.. my conclusion is, android is not all about hardware. software implementation / optimization is really important and Google proves it by showing how fast single core 1ghz Nexus S is..

still remember how wrong strategy had cost Intel when they were chasing for higher clock speed in Pentium 4, while AMD calmly optimized it's architecture in AMD Athlon / Barton 9 years ago?

yet lots of people keep craving about hardware alone.

if u're buying something without proper understanding in how it works, u will definitely and easily get frustrated. i've played with Desire HD, Nexus S, Atrix, Optimus 2x, and Incredible S and I don't expect much from SGS II. I don't expect it to be blazing fast or noticeably faster than the others phones i've tried.. summore I always know, touchwiz is nothing compared to Sense..

but, I do believe in what to expect from phone as good as SGS II. I believe there will be lots of developers using this phone.. it has great hardware, and now i have to count on the developers to fully utilized samsung open bootloader, enhance / tweak it's software and finally turn this phone into beast.

and honestly, any of my friends who asked me for phone recommendations.. i'll ask: u want something good out of the box but is restricted to it, or u want something that might not good as the other one, but u have freedom and chance to make it better..

so if u choose the 1st one, sadly to say... u do not belong in this section.
anyway to all SGS2 owners out there.. enjoy ur phone. u choose to have the exclusivity of becoming early owner of such a great device and just believe that things will get better in time.
thanks for the info!!
sorry i haven't got chance to discuss this further with my cousin.. planning to do it tomorrow evening / night..
