            It would be great if they could benchmark it against the other latest phones, such as the LG Optimus 2X, 3D and Motorola Atrix.

              I´M sorry but i have to ask how stupid must you be if you think you can judge the brilliant quality of a super amoled screen trough the tft lcd screen of your laptop/computer?
              i am currently a sgs 1 user as it was the best phone of 2010 i have had no problems with it and my suspisions are that sgs 2 will be the best of this year but you cannot now for sure until i would say at least june.....

                        @Fongy There is no such thing as Samsung G1 phone. I think you're talking about T-mobile G1, which is made by HTC.

                          GNUSMAS, 23 Mar 2011I would wait for the Galaxy S II. I agree that buying 'f... moreThere's no such thing as "future proof" in the mobile industry. It's just a saying sales reps will use to convince you to buy the phone. The rate of development is too quick, in just over a year and a half there's always something far more advanced and your phone becomes an artifact.

                            so does it gobble up all its ram and have a death grip where holding the phone like a human being kills your signal like the GS did?

                                I'm a iPhone 4 user...

                                The rumors of the iPhone 5 basically says incremental changes in specifications, iPhone 4 design with a 4 inch screen and a metal plate slapped onto the rear of the phone...

                                If this holds true...

                                Samsung is going to take a much bigger slice of Apple pie this time around to the point it would be a concern...

                                My biggest concern on SGS2 is not the phone itself, but the security of application market...I don't know who's exactly responsible for it...but someone needs to improve on monitoring of applications for viruses, and such...

                                Moreover, I'm buying this phone when it comes out...better come out with exynos processor and samoled+ screen though...if not, then I'm not...

                                  But does this phone have a LED notification light, if still NO on a samsung phone then I dont care about anything else.

                                  A LED notification light is the most essential & cheap feature a phone needs.
