As much as I love this phone, I do find some of the feature a bit of a gimmick.
Firstly, (from a UK point of view) 21Mbps internet speed is pointless considering there is not a single network that provides a speed of more than 7.2Mbps. And In real terms it is actually unlikely you will get more than about 3.6Mbps.
Secondly, NFC is very much in its infancy so by the time we find ourselves in a position to use it, we will have probably have changed our Smarthone about three times anyway.
Thirdly, 1 GB RAM? Does any application actually need that much? And in terms of the user experience, most of the current high end single core android phones are so smooth and lag free that you couldn't possibly improve the user experience.
Fourthly, this phone has no HDMI out. Yes it migh have a lovely screen, and yes that screen might be better than that of the LG optimus 2x, but the LG has HDMI output with 1080p support so who cares!
Lastly, there is little evidence to suggest that Samsungs processor and GPU is better than the Tegra 2 platform. In fact many recently released benchmarks suggest that Tegra may have a slight advantage.
Don't get me wrong, I love Samsung and this looks like a great handset. I just don't think its perfect and think we need to look at the other alternatives on the market. Furthermore, if like me you change your phone frequently, you will probably never use half the features. Personally think I am going to order the LG because of the HDMI alone. You can just use it like a portable media device and watch movies and play games in full High Definition on a large tv. The Motorola Atrix looks really nice too, I am just a little concerned about the build quality.

Galaxy s2, 05 Mar 2011Wow... It's amazing.... So sad it isn't released om march 4... moreYeah me too, I have a feeling the delay has to do with the two choices of the chips, But here in Canada the March 17th is the release date for the Atrix - the Xoom and Ipad2 or owning the headlines and not a peep from Samsung - seriously they have to come out soon with something or they will have zero market share with the first wave of sales.. I highly doubt the price of the S2 will be as high as we have been seeing. Look at the tab 10.1 they are looking at lowering it to match the Ipad...the S2 price will be competitive. - This is year of the S2 from Sammy - Next year the Tab3 10.1 is going to be the beast. Now please dont beat me up. But Samsung needs to but as much work into design as they do into performance to be that company who is the benchmark- sadly it still is Apple
