LOVE THIS PHONE
on November 7, 2011
Posted by: N3WSamsUngL0ver
Expertise:Beginner
I upgraded from an iphone 4 almost a week ago. I was skeptical and didnt know if i wanted to get the iphone 4s. I was disappointed that it wasnt an iphone 5 to begin with and i got bored of the features of IOS, i didnt like being locked in and just getting what the phone came with. The galaxy s2 is my fist android phone and i love it! the screen and camera look amazing and the flash is bright, i like the big screen and the power button on the side, (love the fact that it doesnt have a mute switch that can get flipped in my pocket which my iphones did) I also love that it just has touch buttons and not a home button and the setting button is always in the same place and gets integrated into every page you go on. the phone is amazingly thin and light, i cant even feel it in my pocket sometimes. the phone screens are smooth as butter and multitasking is way better then IOS and the apps actually stay running, you will need an app killer to save battery though. This phone has a better battery life then my iphone 4 did. In the week that i have had the phone, it does freeze for a couple seconds every now an then but only when im on the internet or have like 6 apps running in the background. It did freeze once so bad that i had to reboot the phone. I never had freezing and locking problems with the iphone but i doesnt happen on this phone enough to bother me. Also when i set a password on the lockscreen and i hit the lock button a few times, it will eventually come up without the password which is a big security issue for me but, i hardly let people see my phone anyway and i never leave it out for people to get a hold of. In the en GREAT PHONE! good looking and smooth as a babies rump! as thin as an ipod touch and very light! love the expandable memory! Dont get locked in with apple! find freedom with the galaxy s2!
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, smooth, nice looking, great screen, great camera, too many to list, batery life
Cons: freezes occationaly, will not charge if you are using it on charger

This is an excellent phone and it works even after it is dropped from two floors on to a hard surface. No scratches to the screen except a small dents on the outer edge, which is unnoticeable. Amazing phone. Color contrast superb.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Too much promise, Too little follow through
on March 3, 2012

The phone's design is awesome. The Android OS is good. It promises too many things, but there is too little follow through.It has all these million features, but almost all them not finish or buggy. My Samsung Blue Gmail app crashes other people's phones when they reply to my emails. If I use the regular gmail app then it is OK, but I hate the conversation mode!! There is no spell check at all. The copy cat of SIRI does not recognize me nor my friends at all. There has been an update ICS for like how many months? I still don't have the update yet. Google map always shows about 2-3 blocks away from my location unless it is navigating it. The WEB pages are really bad. Everything is pin pon. Nothing smooth about them. When you receive a phone call from a number that you don't recognize, you have to memorize the # to search for it online. Because galaxy s2 won't copy the # for some odd reason. All these basic stuff that should be done in a SMARTPHONE this phone lacks. Also, last thing, push email fails to push few emails a day.
Likely, I have a Samsung tv that I can be proud of. This phone, no WAY!!! If you have the choice, then, I would go with something else.
P.S. OMG, how can I forget about the bad call quality?Yeah, it is pretty bad. People always makes me repeat myself and this makes me furious. I can't hear them too, though. :) :)
Cons: Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
