for those of you that ordered from clove did you get taxed?

and does it support chinese outta the box?..or does UK version have no multi-language support?

I've ordered from Clove b4 and i got taxed @ the door





Ok so i just saw this review on youtube... I Don't Know Why They Did This Comparison but they did and I thought you guys might enjoy it at least you get to see the SGS2

The guy compared the SGS2 to a Nokia X7 :lol even Nokia users find the X7 to be retarded :facepalm:





I will make one excuse for the the X7 though he had a lot of apps running in the background that are intensive like Maps and games

the X7 is the fucking ugliest phone I have ever seen. Even worse than that Tag Heuer abomination :lol

tax and duty?

is mobileDNA the only place with the 12month contract for the sgs2? or can i just call bell to switch over as a new customer

bell will only have 3 yr contract i believe

I can't believe how amazed that guy was whenever the SGS2 beat the X7.

^^^ ;)


just the hst

Wow i just found some hidden tricks in the touchwiz UI. Some are a given, others are kinda neat.

Quick Calls & Texts: Once you have the contact you want to call or text in front of you, instead of entering it and then carrying out the operation, you can simply swipe left to place a call or swipe right to enter a text.

Screenshots: Taking screenshots on Android devices is a pain, but on the Galaxy S2, you can simply hit home button and then the power key while holding onto home to take a screenshot. You can then see them in the Gallery.

Brightness Adjust: The notification bar can serve as a brightness scroll on the Galaxy S 2 if you are not using the auto brightness option. Just hit the notification bar, hold for a second and swipe left to decrese and right to increase the brightness. This is one of my favourite tweaks

Browsr Text Wrap: Out of the box the Galaxy S2 doesn’t automatically reflow the text in the webpage if you zoom in. But if you just goto settings and check the ‘auto-fit pages’ option, all is well again.

the screen shots thing, isn't that how apple does it on the iphone? No wonder apple is suing samsung.

seriously oO?

PITA


i also hear that you can't game or watch videos on it for too long or else it'll get too hot is that true ?


(and if you guys are wondering why nokia boy is checking out the sgs2 im looking @ what my next upgrade will be; i like android but im waiting till i feel its @ a point where its similar to my noks)

I'll check if its just 3 yrs on bell.

It depends on what browser you use. I know there are at least 5 or 6 good individual browsers, each with its own unique features and rendering engine. The most popular, besides the stock browser, is Dolphin HD. There is also UC Web, and MiRen, Opera, Puffun, SkyFire, UltraLight, FireFox (beta) and XScope. I really like XScope and Dolphin HD. Probably any of them are better than the default browser, but it depends on personal preferences.

As far as screenshotting goes, yes it is a PITA on non rooted devices. However if you have root (and on most devices it's as easy as downloading an app and clicking "root"), then you can install apps like ShootMe, which will take a screenshot when you shake your phone.

Fucking Rogers. I inquired about the SGSII and a Rogers rep on the Facebook group discussion page says "won't comment on devices that may/may not launch in the future".

Just order it from Clove and use it on Rogers. You won't have to sign a stupid contract either, which is for the better if you decide to switch phones before that, or switch carriers

why not just wait for it to come out this week and buy it out??

Rogers owes me a hardware upgrade as I haven't used one in years. I was hoping to get one discounted when I renew my contract with them.

They might not allow buyouts. New activations only




I use dolphin hd. I like it better than stock.

^dolphin hd doesn't have the same rendering engine and scroll physics as the stock galaxy s 2 browser. I used dolphin hd for all my previous androids because of its tab functionality and speed, but compared to the stock browser, the scroll is choppy and the loading speeds are almost the same. Stock browser scrolls and zooms like butter, even with flash on. Samsung really got it right this time. Only thing i miss is the tabs from dolphin hd.

This is true, they will not sell it without a contract or plan activation. One way around this, as was told to me by a Bell employee, is to activate and pay for the cheapest month to month plan ($30) then they will sell you the phone. Then just call Bell the next day and cancel the plan.

You might as well buy it unlocked if that's the case. $599 + $30 + $35 activation fee + tax = $740ish lol. your best bet for low price is scouting on craigslist

What about someone with a Bell account that wants to buy the phone outright?

I would assume activation fees wouldn't apply as there is no new number being set up.

Anyone know any Bell stores or resellers that might have a working demo of the SGS2 when its out?

Hardware upgrades will not be allowed unless the stores has a lot in stock. like 5+

if only 1 or 2 in stock they will not let u do a upgrade.




also check with bestbuy/FS and see if they will sell outright.

My gs2... i tethered for an hour and it got way too hot and shut down on me LOL

Pre-order the Samsung Galaxy S II at Best Buy | MobileSyrup.com
Comments seem like FS/BB wont be selling outright.

Might end up with the euro one then, comes out to like ~630 shipped before taxes.
