else u may want to consider an ori used galaxy s2 non g set? price out thr ranges from 1300-1600 depends on condition n etc..not a bad choice though..

im using s2g set, 3 weeks in and i've sent my phone to "repair/service". problems are as mentioned. hang, freeze, auto off etc. sad transition from iphone4...

Well, I've also had my share of such stuffs but not that frequent to render it 'unusable' and needing it to be sent to the hospital. So, how bad is it?

Me too migrate from iphone 4.have to say ios is still better n much more stable. For android I do encounter more data network connection, freeze not so often but guess have to learn to live with it. Try download some keyboard like iphone keyboard free or ICS keyboard free are both much better than the default keyboard. Some software that give u problem just uninstall them will do. I found Cpu set software like setcpu and Cpu tuner will destabilize the os. Should avoid. Try not update flash player.
S2 is not all bad. I guess is hard for me to go back to 3.7 " iphone. Hopefully iphone5 will have at least 4.3" screen. S2 video playback resolution is awesome.

TO SUM IT UP ANDROID IS NOT FOR EVERYONE ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE JUST AN AVERAGE USER THAT DO NOT LIKE TO TWEAT OR FLASH

its actually not that bad. maybe user problem (im quite the perfectionist). maybe also prior to switching, i've read so much hype abt the galaxy S 2 and my expectation flew sky high.

but in all honesty, i've nv experience that with my iphone 3g and iphone 4, so perhaps those have set my standards and expectation pretty high.

nevertheless, i'm considering selling it off and getting back an iphone.. haha.

i also agree, the screen size is phenomenal... hahahaha

anyone tried?

geng camera zoom fx nice or not?

I wonder why a lot of ppl say Android is problematic and can be use only by geek and not suitable to ordinary user..?? o_O
I think the phone is okay to be used right out from the box without any problems whatsoever. It's when you pandai2 tweak here and there without real knowledge of what you're doing, it's then all this problems usually start. (installing apk and crack apps is another common reason).
My advice to new SGSII user. Learn more about your phone while it still on its original stock rom first. Always remember, your phone must be function correctly before you start doing anything else. There's no need to root and flash custom roms IF you dont know anything about it. You stock rom phone can and will function even without rooting and flashing. Do not follow other user just because they do it so i also want to do it. Other user do it because they know what there're doing. You in the other hand dont know anything on what you're trying to do. This usually the reason why your phone start behave badly. And sadly, when this type of problems arise..ppl start blaming the phone or Android rather than themself.

you got it working on your s2 oredi?

Well said. Don't be adventurous and do things to the phone that u know nothing about. I m a non G user and still on original stock rom and have no issues with my device except for battery life ( very common for android ). Yes the device perform pretty well without FC, camera crash, hang, excessive lag, DC etc. I m really thrill and S2 is really awesome. Jus chill and enjoy.....

Couldn't agree more
