Where are the headphones?

Very disappointed that the phone didn't come with the headphones as indicated on the Samsung global S2 website?
I am considering returning the phone because the website was misleading. I recommend getting a different phone.

My first real Android Experience
on October 26, 2011

I purchased a Motorola Droid when it first came out years back. I had it a total of 10 days, and returned it. The hardware was clunky, Android was sluggish, and buggy. It set the stage for what would become a really bad experience with Android. I went to iOS and the iPhone 3Gs. I had previously owned iOS devices (iPod Touch) so it was familiar territory.
I chugged along with the iPhone 3Gs & then the iPhone 4. Great products, but I found myself feeling more & more restricted as time went on. That's when I entered the world of jailbreaking. Finally, I thought I was free to customize my device like I wanted. This went on for a while until I grew tired of playing the cat-n-mouse game of trying to keep up with which iOS version was jail broken, which wasn't, and frankly I didn't want to think about it anymore. The thought of going un-jailbroken & resorting to a vanilla version of iOS made me sad.
Enter the Samsung Galaxy S2 with Android 2.3.4 from AT&T. I decided to give Android another try. I felt like it had had time to mature a little, and read many reports of how Samsung had sold MILLIONS of Galaxy S's & SGS2's in countries outside the US. This type of record HAD to mean something. Another indication was that Apple has been suing Samsung left & right. That means Samsung is doing something right. The fact that Apple and others get their devices' components from Samsung also helped in my decision to go with Samsung over other handset manufacturers. Many of the major components for the device are sourced in-house.
So far, I have NOT been disappointed. The SGS2 has provided a wonderful experience. Android simply works on this device. There is no sluggishness at all. The 4.3" SAMOLED display is beautiful. How could I go back to a screen any smaller? I worried about the larger screen, but the thinness of the device somehow makes up for the fact that the screen is bigger. It's pocketable, which is how I choose to carry my phone. All in all, I'm very happy with my purchase. Battery life is acceptable. I wish it was better, but that will always be the case. I have two email accounts, several social networking services, and some other things running and the battery makes it through a day. It gets pretty low at bed time, but that's worked out fine for me. Charge it in the car if you can. That'll give you an extra bit of time. One final note about durability. Many say it feels flimsy. I do not get this feeling. Of course it's not built like a tank, but it's durable enough. Search google for "Iphone 4 Samsung Galaxy S 2 drop test" and see for yourself how durable it is.
If you're on the fence about getting an SGS2, I can tell you from my experience I'm completely satisfied so far. Love it!
PS - The Camera is AWESOME! Combine with Pixlr-o-matic & Camera ZOOM FX from the Android Market to get the best looking photos.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

this is a work phone and I really like it except for 2 things, battery life and the button to turn on being on the side of the phone as I constantly turn the screen off. Samsung needs to offer a extended battery as the factory one has a proximity sensor and aftermarket ones do not have this.....Also hopefully Samsung will not make us wait to long for ICS.....
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight
Cons: battery, power button location
I would recommend this to a friend!
