    Don't get me wrong, but I really can't understand the point of reviewing every single variation of Samsung phones...

      "There are no headphones or microSD card in the bundle." I was close to buying this phone, but lacking from the above quote, I decide to step up to the Galaxy S II LTE. I figured I could learn to get use to the virtual qwerty since the LTE has more to offer.

          GSMArena should discuss European alternatives, as this is a US-only review.

          (the only one being the Xperia pro, which is a great phone)

            Branding? Seriously GSMArena? A manufacturer should be commended for not obsessing over branding!

                    The video player had absolutely no trouble with any of the files we threw at it – starting with WMV through AVI (DivX and XviD) and MP4 to MKV (H.264). Resolution wasn’t a problem either – the Samsung Galaxy S II played Full HD files just fine. Large files of over 2GB worked as well. few correction on your review, by the way good review
