I like his cute splash screen animations
I like his taskbar icons
I find battery life has improved by at least 5 % ( that is in standby mode , actively refreshing my email, RSS, tweeter, newsfeed ) from midnight to 7 am
I cannot really assess the battery usage while in use as my phone is always being charged while in car and at desk
It is indeed more responsive

Added on June 16, 2011, 7:28 pmI have recorded 60 users based on your Pm and based on your posts. I could have missed some. So please PM me if you wish to be added to the user list. Some are so shy they even PM me to remove them from the list - dunno why when they are still using the phone

It is very suitable for handphone - why not suitable ??? You use YES as a wireless point ; you don't need simcard for YES services
Especially in areas of coverage, download speeds is extremely fast. Just use your phone , search for wireless - connect to it. It is about at least 4-5X faster than normal wireless and 6-8X faster than 3G. Minimum is RM 30/month - if you need lots of data can subscribe to their various plans
I was in KL few days using it - excellent ; use it and you do not wish to use your 3G or connect to any of those free WiFI hotspots anymore

Just flashed VillainROM 1.4  , everyday got new rom to flash, but it is fun 

I think many early buyers/adopters will sakit hati now since the official RRP is RM 2099, which significantly lesser than those AP selling about 1-2 months ago.

That's only applicable to you and maybe some similar early adopters. But they are many other real buyers out there that is looking for a deal & good device that may serve them for some time back then, but being mis-informed about delayed launching, very high official RRP & etc., just as I mentioned previously.

Yes there is but dun expect it to be cheaper ..... It's simple , for example 1 trader charge u RM2040 for SGS2 with 3% tax , another give u RM2099 but no need 2 pay CC tax .... Doesnt it get back to square 1 ? IF u expect ppl to charge u the lowest possible price yet no CC charges , u can try register at this website .... www.manmandang.com.my

There will always be 3 category for a buyer of a device

1 - Just buy as soon as it's available regardless of the price ... If u r think paying RM2.7k for a SGS2 is crazy , look at ipad2 .... 64G+3G was once RM4K+
2 - Wait for the official launch and buy
3 - Wait a few months b4 buying , hopefully the price will drop as there is always new models coming out . These buyers dont aim for the latest , anything least than 6 months is fine

Which category u r in , u should know . IF u r in category no.2 , there is no point pint pointing or feeling the pain for category 1 buyers coz no offence bro , its not your concern . Misinformed info is the way of life of Malaysian especially launching ... Take DHD for example , was initially from Maxis deal ,even got their website posted pre-order . Later on was taken down and finally , after 2 months ,was released under DIGI

+1 +1

Yet to be users, contemplating to buy users, on the fence undecided buyers : based on my experience using several Androids ( see my siggy ), I unreservedly say this is the best and greatest smartphone I have ever used. I have even say at one point, I am even willing to pay RM3000 for it. So if you have the budget of RM2-2.5K, go ahead - you will not be disappointed. But if you are looking for a perfect phone, don't bother as there is none in Android yet. If you want a perfect phone, follow Steve Job as he said " the iphone 4 is the BEST smartphone in the WORLD . Period."

Regarding those early buyers, it is plain rude to insult/deride them. The money is theirs - no one has any right to judge whether they are making the right decisions on paying a premium for it. Just because you feel it is not worth or you feel these buyers are just being " dumb" , do remember their purchasing decision and views of pricing is different from you and many other people. Such early buyers are not stupid - they are fully aware they are paying a higher premium . They too know the actual prices will drop when launch. After 3 months of official availability, there will be another official price reduction. So knowing these and yet they are prepare to pay the premium, do give them benefit of doubt. Do not and never judge them based on your own beliefs. And many of such buyers will testify they will not feel the pain as they are already prepare for such

And to say they are rich is simply untrue. I have said before, different people have different priorities when come to spending their money. You can see 5 figure monthly senior managers still prefer taking their RM2 coffee at kopitiam while those who are earning RM2k+ or less ( even students  with no income ) splurging their money and  who will not hesitate to spend RM 10 for a cup of coffee at Starbucks.

I have been working close to 40 years and I can see how my staffs/managers spend their salary - many of them are broke every month cos they spend beyond what they earn, following the Jones /their neighbors and friends. I do not judge them as wrong practice.  If they feel happy being broke every month and get to enjoy their purchases , it is their goddamn right. Even in this thread, there are many users/potential users who are only students and is willing to spend so much on a phone. I know one of such student, who takes on parttime jobs/tuition just to earn the money for it. Of course, many students need not to do such as they have a willing reliable source who give them the money.

I forgotten... besides rich brats, there are die-hard foolhardy people too in this world. But seriously these are not my concern.

My concern since my earlier post is all about buyers duped into buying AP SGS2 under fake rumors about delayed launching & much higher launching prices than AP unit as well as HTC Sensation.

Thanks for your time in replying to a coming S2 user...

Just bringing this back since no one answered and it's being buried under rrp requests.

I think this'll be a good accessory for our sgs2 for extreme users like me. Many of us already know about the yoobao 4800s and I want to know how this compares.

1. Actually has the stated mAh?
2. Charging time for phone?
3. Charging time for portable charger?
4. Gets hot?

Etcetera.

Hope anyone who's used it can answer or point to any reviews. Couldn't find any reviews on google. Unless maybe they're in chinese?

Thanks.

Correct, this guy is just being rude using terms as rich brats, foolhardy . I have met such people in my 40 years of work. They think highly of themselves as the wiser ones - others are just otherwise
ben83 : I don't know you nor do you know me or any early users of the phone . I pity you about your perception of people. No matter how old you are,  time to growup and learn to respect others - just my 2 sen from an old man

Oh my, those early adopters really so perasan, defensive and sensitive. Did I just say rich brats are the only adopters? You just admitted you are. If you people cannot take the fact, then don't simply quote my reply. How rich or whatever your background as early adopters has nothing to do with my reply here, as I am speaking for early buyers that been duped.

Hi all, if lets say I am getting the cheapest Galaxy S2 plan (500mb data plan + 24 months).
The price of the phone would be RM1399.00. Can I pay 1399 using Cash and the 24 months bill will come to me monthly ?

I heard from a friend that, if you want to get the package. You need to pay the whole sum by credit card. Your CC will turn on ez-payment for you.
((500MB data plan + call plan) * 24 * 6%) + 1399.
That's the only way Maxis can ensure you do not breach the contract. Is this true?

What if I want Maxis Package but do not want to charge to card.

Advice needed.
Thanks.

gonna have SGSII on my hand tonite!!! feel so anxious to try up all the ROms available. hopefully wont brick my phone in first attempt >.<
