I went to sprint to have my Evo Shift looked at and as I knew I would, I walked out with the Samsung SII. I've been looking at this phone since it came out and as sure as grits is groceries, first time I held it in my hands that was it! It's mine! As a truck driver this phone has everything I need!
I bought this phone to replace my HTC EVO 4g. Im very satisfied so far. GPS problem is NOT insurmountable. Read forums for solutions. I fixed mine with one setting and a couple apps. GPS Test and GPS Status. Satellite lock has been stable and consistent now. Camera is outstanding. Beautiful display. Larger screen for my ever aging eyesight. Boot time = <20 seconds. Excellent BATTERY LIFE!!! EXCELLENT 5+ STARS. I can go an entire day now with average use. Everyone knows how annoying it is to always having to find your charger, change batteries before you step out the door, etc etc. WIth this phone, all that is gone. Take off charger in AM and you are good to go all day well into evening. This is a huge plus at least for me. I am slowly converting over to SAMSUNG products. The build quality is evident not only in phones, but other products as well.
I have had this phone for a while now, and I love it! It is the true Iphone killer. It has the best screen out of any phone super thin and light. If this is what samsung will continue to make, I will continue to buy. Far better value that most HTC android devices. Touchwiz was weird for me at first, but now I love it.
