Nobody has a dump of the Bell ROM yet. I made a nandroid backup of my phone but I was only able to do it after installing CF root so it has superuser and is rooted.

I think I need to add the mac address of my SGS2 to my wireless router because it is not using DHCP and I will try this method out at home tonight.

I'm only on my 2nd full charge. I have:

1 Push exchange email account
2 Poll email accounts
Weather update every 2 hours
Twitter update every hour
Whatsapp

Running VillainRom 2.1 / Ninphetamine 2.01 kernel / 100mv undervolt all frequencies

Sitting at 87% after 4 hours. It's pretty damn good if I say so myself. Should get better as the battery conditions itself after a few more charges.

Yes the fit is spot on. The one that doesnt fit as well is made by Affinity not Case Mate. On another note the Affinity leather belt holster for the captivate fits the sgs2 perfectly.

Check to see if you have the app call "All share" and use that to connect to your wifi instead. I'm still using the first SG and i know sometime i can't connect to my wifi when i just enable wifi from drop down notification bar. But letting the "all share" app to find the connection and connect to it actually work all the time.

If you could let us know how long your 2nd full charge goes for, much appreciated!

The otterbox is nice however it adds too much bulk for my taste. Defeats the purpose of a thin phone.
