Does anyone know if this has built in GPS maps?

Chances are.. No. You'll need to get an app.

damn. i was hoping, seeing as how my Nexus did. FML.

Nexus has offline GPS maps?? First I've heard of it. Unless you mean Google Maps which is on all android phones.

yay! my phone arrived, now to unlock and off we go! and yes, it has built in GPS. well, googlemaps navigation

Sorry I need a refresher. Didnt you have an original galaxy s2 but sold it to go back to ios?
Or was that someone else?

^i think he sold it then got the hercules
737 went back to ios

returned to Bell. couldn't justify the cost VS my iPhone 4. didnt feel as polished.

now after mucking about with my Nexus S, i find its a very capable phone, just lacking in storage space and a bit of speed.

so now, i go full circle back to the GS2 except i'm on AWS/Mobilicity :D

I think this is my 4th phone this year...damn its been an expensive ride.

Quadrant benchmarks at 3700 points.
Nexus S benchmarks at 1752

hey guys, just so you know member Infamouskid can unlock the telus and Tmobile version of this phone. I got mine done and had my unlock code in a few hours. Very professional and helpful.

I'm using my Tmob one on Mobilicity.

note: a international rom would probably be best as the phone has difficulty registering on the Mobi network.

had to set it to wcdma 1700 only. then search for network.

I'm on the BeastMod 2 rom

Now overclocked to 1.8 Ghz with Jugs kernel and Juggernaut ROM

Jugs kernel... how very... appropriate.

yeah i know.:alonehappy:

hmm I must be the only person on RS with this phone or something...

anyways gets better reception than Nexus S it seems. well it cost 2X as much, it better..

I think you are.. lol

Bigger phone = bigger antenna?

maybe. normally my service dies around Costco in Coquitlam. went to the new walmart down the road still had reception.

How much was the duty for the phone?

didn't pay a cent. lucked out i guess.:fullofwin: after everything including unlocking I paid $550 CAD however, it didn't come with a charger headphones or OEM cable. only a generic micro USB.

I can't really complain. its close to $700 unlocked from Telus.

apparently theres a white version coming out for t mobile i wonder if telus will get it

got my MHL video output cable. works fine. weird tho. you have to plug in an external micro usb charger into the unit THEN plug it into the phone for the HDMI to work.

got it from DX SKU 95301

has Samsung written on it, but they call it "designer" lol :P

Why do people crave for CyanogenMod that much? Isn't it just about the same as other ROMs out there?
:suspicious:

so can i buy the phone from any telus store, unlock it, and use it with mobilicity? Is there any other things to do? Will telus sell the phone outright?

No. The telus one won't work with mobilicity or wind. You need to get the one from the states like turbo_e.

are you sure? Cuz in the other mobilicity thread which lists all the phones that work with mob, telus galaxy sII X works.
