As for shinyshiny aluminium body, you're right, it is very nice. You win a cookie. Sgs2 is thinner and lighter. Horses for courses.
BTW, in UK, I go into shop, talk to the nice man, and he gives me sgs2 for free! (And Icould get iphone4 for free too, if I wasn't so discerning! Guess it sucks you live in the wrong country :-)

    iOS steady movement, and Nokia WP7 comeback are going to eat up Android in 2012.

    People are tired of the boring phones (except good ones like SGS2) and actually even more tired of the Android zombies.

          robert, 24 Jun 2011MP3 ringtones ?If your phone is jailbroken,
          go to cydia,install INSTALLOUS 4
          click on that,
          find few apps MP3 ringtones converter,and see which one suits you best,
          install it for free of course,then import any song into that app,
          play with that,crap songs like you crap your pictures,grab 20 seconds from each song,from that part you like the most,compress them and send them once trough iTunes,and do whatever you wanna do with them later on.
          My girlfriend has 3GS and i have iPhone4 i use 9.0 iTunes for both phones to synch apps between those two,exchange ringtones and whatever else

          It's 21ST century apple times,and apple will rule for so long.
          Apple release one model a year,and almost outsells all Android devices altogether.
          What does that tell you...

                        Hey you nokia fanboys keep saying poor battery life, when iPhone has the best battery, almost 10 hours of full usage. And no java or flash, who needs these when all of these are already availible in appstore, every flash game or java game i ever played in internet or my N96 is already in app store. Stop trolling and open your eyes, look where is Nokia and where is Apple now. iPhone is the way to go right now, and by the way open system is not a plus, i don't see the advantage over close system, android is much more buggy, more viruses and etc...

                            While there's no denying the dominance of apple, and the iphone 4, was clearly the best all round phone last year, the fact remains that sgs2 is far superior. So much so, that iphone 5 (or 4s), should be reasonably looked upon as the sgs2 killer. The industry has new benchmarks now. Apple has been caught snoozing (but unlike nokia, can at least be counted on to bring something quality to the table.
                            Amusingly in Belgium, a year old iphone 4 32gb retails sim free for €850 in mediamarkt, yet the obviously superior sgs2 is only €530! The slavish aspirational lifestyle apple fanboys attempt to buy into, is ludicrously risible. That they'd rather pay stevie job's 'apple tax' for inferior yet cool and smooth product, makes it easier to ignore the fans bleatings of 'tech savvy' ponderings. Lol

Thats something i'm doing right now on my c7 and i could do it just as well on my 2003 model nokia 6630. But i'm sure you wouldn't need that now would you? heck u're confortably unable to send files viz blue tooth.

                                  Get real!, 24 Jun 2011Hmmm, I assume you really like your girlfriend, don't you?... more1st of all if i need any phone bigger than 3" then i'll get myself an ipad.

                                  2ND i'll take Retina over Amoled any time of the day

                                  3DH if i have enough money for the iPhone that doesn't mean i have to pay for any app out there,i don't steal them,it's all business,if people don't want them to be stolen,they'll protect them like Apple store. It's all part of the game.

                                  4TH Samsung is to one who started copy Apple not other way around.

                                  5TH i had more drop calls with SGS than with my iPhone,also i had SGS screen locked so many times,and couldn't do anything about it unless i pulled the battery out,GPS issue even with the newest model SGS2 and SGS plus,so i don't know where you get all ideas. You need to have all kinds of phones to experience all this not just to listen what specifications says,or people from forums.

                                  6TH who says iPhone battery sucks. As a matter of fact it's the best one out there in smart phones.Try browsing net with SGS for 8 hours with your superamoled display and we'll see how far it takes you..

                                  Just my 2 cents

                                        IPhone has nice multitasking, you should try it before talking about it, most of people just dont understand it. iHaters always saying bad things about it without even tryed it, i tryed many times to people say me what i can't do with iOS4 multitasking, still no answer. Can you give me example something useful what i can't do? i'm waiting...

                                        I have used iPhone two years and never needed java, where i need it? What important thing i can't do because i don't have java? Doesn't sound very useful because i haven't had any situation where i needed it.
