The_Rev Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Speed is dependent to the phone you are on. I have a SIM only deal and an unbranded Nexus S and my internet speed is blazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I've stuck with my current phone long enough. I may make a trip to o2 Today to get an S2, from what I've seen on youtube and review sites, it looks decent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 You won't need to upgrade the S2 until hover cars are around. The processing power is simply absurd. Even so one lad over on xda decided to over clock his to 1.5ghz and said it is stable. He's getting over 4000 on quadrant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted May 12, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted May 12, 2011 I may go to have a play with an SGS2 tomorrow. If I do and I'm sold on it, I think my overdue upgrade may be solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Make sure you test the browser if you can Chindie, along with the screen and battery life it's the star of the show. Blisteringly fast. Also set the screen to max brightness and play some video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I now own an S2 ! It's a huge upgrade from my Samsung Genio Touch! This phone actually lets me play videos and go on the internet without waiting 5 minutes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted May 12, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted May 12, 2011 The sgs2 is so good. Absolutely loving it. My only gripe with it and its incredibly minor, is that when you hit the power burton on the side of the phone it takes about 2 seconds fire the screen to come on... Other then that its fantastic. Anyone using launcher pro? or just using the basic samsung desktop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Lions_Roar Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Going to be phoning 3 tomorrow to see what they can do for me to upgrade to sgs2. I've not idea why anyone would pay £40 for an iphone when you can get this for £30 a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted May 12, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted May 12, 2011 I have it for 25 a month. 300mins, unlimited.texts,.unlimited data, 12month contract. Had to pay 250 for phone, but sold desire for 150 so not too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I used to use Zeam launcher (which is the best launcher imo) but I love the samsung widgets, so I'm sticking with the default touchwiz launcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDon Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Stop talking about the SII, if I read any more about it I'm going to end up buying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenm Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I really like ADW EX. Its not free but the performance is fantastic and it looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I love custom launchers but you can only use samsung and sense widgets in the native launcher meaning choices need to be made. The new touchwiz 4 its very good especially the widgets so zeam has to be sacrificed. Also swype is superb now, combination of screen being bigger and the new version of the software being better.

Rob182 Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 I now own an S2 ! It's a huge upgrade from my Samsung Genio Touch! This phone actually lets me play videos and go on the internet without waiting 5 minutes! Did you upgrade or buy the phone? Just wondering if they made you change your contract. I upgraded my contract and had to pay to get the phone. I was only on a sim-only contract, so I had to pay a bit more for the phone. I'm not fussed about too many texts or minutes, I mainly use the internet. My contract ius £25.50 per month, I get 100 minutes, 300 texts and unlimited internet. I had to pay £105 for the phone (unless my parents ask, in which case it was £40 ). CV, you seem to know a lot about the S2 and it's uses! What are the must-haves? Downloads etc? I spent yesterday downloading daft apps so that I can listen to talksport, play a guitar, read comics, look on sik&wikipedia etc, but I'm still using the normal internet browser and what-not. If there's anything I should DEFO download to make my S2 better, enlighten me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Apps I really like for Android: Stitcher - (podcast manager, probably has more of a place on iPhone because of daft download restrictions on iTunes, but its free and I like it) TuneIn Radio - internet radio browser. It's very good. Guardian Anywhere - downloads The Guardian newspaper overnight F5 - Nice Reddit app Dropbox - Just amazing. Why wouldnt you have this? By the way, if anybody doesnt have Dropbox yet, I'll whore out my referral. If you make an account via a referral then you get more free storage space (and so do I for giving the referral ) so its win-win: CLIKKA DE LINK!
