Is the LD version unlocked if not, what carrier is it set to?

*edit:
Just read that it is a Virgin phone.

Will it be difficult to unlock?

thanks. i'll check it out

Kingsway & Wessex location had Galaxy S Fascinate on sale from $499.99 to $399.99. I was there at around 9:20am, Galaxy S II was sold out 'til next week.

neat, my in car DVD shows up as a bluetooth speaker, so when i play videos in car the sound plays through the stereo :D


BTW: Brentwood has none and knows nothing either.

Lougheed Town Centre expecting a shipment thurs or fri night, should be in stock next morn of one of those days. Coquitlam has 2 left

if anyone wants to take my phone off my hands, i just want what i Paid for it. $599+tax = $670

i'm going back to my Sony Ericsson S710i :( (Wife has the iP4 now)

I'm just not comfortable with this phone now @ this $.

I've had it since Friday (pre-launch) and only used the charger/cables. rooted and unlocked. save yourself time and grief.

Running on Villan Rom and Rogers Network.

$ 60 for 32GB Micro SD card too. I'd like this gone today before i change my mind yet again...

my mind is
:fulloffuck:

Coquitlam has one left, one is on hold for me :D

i held one at coquitlam but found out there was one left at the kingsway & wessex location. just picked it up hahahah

I just got this phone yesterday and was wondering what does rooting actually do to the phone? Does it make it run faster? make it so you can install other apps aside from the marketplace?

Rooting allows you to gain Superuser access to the phone. You can flash cooked (modified) roms that undervolt or overclock the CPU to get more performance. Sometimes apps only work on rooted phones etc.

Picked up the last and only one at Marine and Byrne. Girl said 5 people called after I did at 9 asking to put it on hold as well.

No logos anywhere outside of the phone.

Can you guys report whether you experience the yellow screen tinge issue?
Also, is rooting + unlocking pretty simple to do? I've never rooted a droid phone

Bell is still offering a $0 deal to get the Galaxy S2 :fullofwin:

are u noticing the yellow tinge in comparison with another phone? I hadn't noticed any yellow tinge on mine until I compared to my bro's ip4, I can kinda see where you're noticing the yellow, but i think its because the ip4 has a blue tinge and the whites on the gs2 just arent as bright..

Rooting is easy. Just check my earlier post with the link. And check mirkoft's reply for the unlock app after you root.

Read the instructions in the link. Took me like 5 mins to do the actual root and.unlock. I spent like 3 hours reading shit.cause I couldnt figure it out.

The bell verson doesnt have any branding on it whatsoever. It just comes.with bell apps.

I dont have my SGS2 yet, but its just an issue I read alot of GS2 users are having with the screen.

Apparently there's a yellow tint on the left edge of the screen thats caused by overheating?
I still havent been able to pinpoint whether its a hardware or software issue; I've read different things :(

Can we get rid of the crappy bell apps?

with superuser access i believe you can. or you could just use a custom ROM

Virgin Samsung Galaxy S II now $499.99 at London Drugs | MobileSyrup.com

wonder why they would do this??

yep custom roms usually remove all the bloatware.

or you can just root the phone and use titanium backup to uninstall the Bell apps

Yooohooo.... found one at LD in delta. Will be picking it up after work tonight.
There were two in stock and the other one is already on hold for somebody else when I called.

So, what's new in the Android world?
Last Android phone I was using was Google Nexus One before switching to iPhone 4

^ You tell me, i'm planning to go from iPhone 4 to Android for the first time. T_T

Hmm not sure if I should hold back now, been reading about this yellow tint issue and it seems wide spread for almost every single user

deets?
