    AnonD-743, 26 Feb 2011Except in taking photos, in build quality, in portability (... more"HDMI"

    Galaxy sII has MHL:
    1080p uncompressed HD video.
    8 channel (e.g., 7.1 surround sound) uncompressed audio.
    Supports High-bandwidth


    "USB OTG"

    USB OTG is present


    "Sound quality"

    Galaxy SII has dnse (digital natural sound engine)

    "video recording"

    It also has 1080p video recording and playback


    "Build quality"

    And regarding build, it has slimmest body, also plastic body absorbs more shock rather than transmitting it to the screen (glass) (in case of metal)
    build depend mostly on user opinions......

    "FM Transmitter"

    who listens to radio ?

    "portability(SGSII is so big)"

    depends on user

    "and maybe more"

    No nothing more (other than still photos)

      I thought this was a new one?

      After 48 hours with the N8, I must recommend that anyone already owning an Android or Iphone grab one. The price is very good, and it compliments my iphone perfectly. There is no perfect smartphone. The closest to it, is to buy two good ones.

            Not going to troll, but in my opinion they pretty much just changed the skin... revamped the notification bar to be dedicated, qwerty keyboard is a total fail, still looks like the regular symbian^3 and Symbian 60v5.

                If you guys didn't notice, HS has been updated too. Just check the movement of pages, it's much faster now and the delay between swiping finger and switching pages has been removed.

                      the keyboard looks weird but i think it'd get much better in landscape mode, also i think those widgets in the home screen look a little cramped

Yes it does lacks a nice processor but its GPU can render games like asphalt 5, Nfs shift, etc... and can also do dual display while gaming. The high price tag is because of the camera. It can be called as a camerafone only not a high performance.
                                    Lol we can guess what would be the price of SGSII if it have N8's 12mp, Aluminium body,etc..

                                      Guys, The comment is getting worse and worse everyday. Why can't we be happy with others improvement???? I use Symbian, Android, and IOS. Every OS has it's plus and minus. We are the user, It's our money that keep the Company alive, so It's the Company duty to make user satisfied, It's not our duty to defend them. Let the Company do their best. Buy the phone that you think suit you. The more fierce the Company fight, the more quickly we will get the new technology in our phone. The Technology in the phone is more important than the Company itself. think positive. Phone is a phone (Not a Living Thing) So Use your energy to defend more important things.
