hey guys...strongly considering buying this phone but i have some concerns.

What is the difference (besides price of course) when buying from a samsung elite partner vs retailers/distributors outside?

Hi guys, just bought my phone... damn foreign to me...first time using a smartphone from a normal slider phone. I have some questions...

Using my old phone i could be able to find out how much space my sim card has (i think sim card has max capacity for 250 contacts). How do i so the same for my S2?

We don't store in simcard, usually we store it in google mail contacts.

So if we update on computer it'll sync to phone.

If you want to transfer to gmail, its easy.

Export your simcard contacts to .vcf, then transfer the .vcf file to computer and upload to google mail contacts.

There you can see it and do any amendments if you want.

Then after that sync your phone and your gmail contacts will enter your phone.

You can then 'hide' the simcard contacts.

? Use gmail is better than titanium for contact backups.

After you restore your gmail, you end up still syncing back to cloud.

How to do this exporting to .vcf? I also need to transfer some of my contacts that is not in the simcard but in my old nokia slider phone. Is there a fast way to extract the data from that phone to the S2?

Inside the s2, under contacts there's a "export to"
you then choose as .vcf.

What nokia phone?

You will need to do it a few times:

Simcard in S2 -> export to contact1.vcf
bring simcard to nokia -> delete simcard contacts, copy phone to simcard
put simcard into s2 -> export to contact2.vcf

Copy contact1.vcf and contact2.vcf to computer, and upload to gmail contact.

Edit the contact list there and remove/add any if you need.

Then sync your phone and you can choose to clear your simcard if u want.

This is the general step by step, for each individual step on how to export etc. google to see if got pictorial illustration. But I have done this a few times for myself and friends without issues.
