Everything I even wanted in a smart phone... and more
on February 1, 2012

I used to have a T-Mobile LG G2x, which was supposed to be a high end android device. It was functional, and got the job done, but was laggy and I literally pulled the battery or restarted the phone several times a day. I thought those issues were just a part of the android experience. Then I switched to sprint and got this phone. Its blazing fast, the screen is beautiful, and it runs like a champ. I've had no issues with it bogging down or needing to restart the phone. I've heard a lot of negative comments about manufacturer overlays on android like TouchWiz for this phone, but coming from a stock android phone, I love what Samsung has done with TouchWiz. Maybe I'm not a power user, but to any normal every day user, the operating system on this phone is great and super functional. The battery life is also great compared to my last android phone. I'm super happy with the purchase. I recommend it over and over.
The only issue I have with the phone is that the phone back is not grippy. The phone is big, which isn't really a problem except that it can be slightly awkward to hold at times. Other SGSII versions have a slightly grippy back which would make the experience holding the phone better for me. I'm often afraid I'll drop it. This problem can easily be solved with a case though which is probably also reccomended.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Lightweight, battery life
Cons: not of fan of the phone back
I would recommend this to a friend!

Simply everything I need

So far the best phone I've ever had. Not just because it's my first smartphone but the design, the features, and the performance of this device is everything I need and want. I haven't touched my computer since I purchased this phone because it has everything I use right on it. I haven't had any problems with this phone but I've only had it a week so we'll see but thus far I give it 5 stars.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, easy to use
Cons: wi-fi range could be better
I would recommend this to a friend!

Review update
on February 4, 2012
Posted by: Grog
I'm now a couple weeks in using this phone. Had some trouble staying connected to my network at home. I went on the forums and found that my network was being fussy. Really no fault of the phone. I have used it quite a bit each day and by the end of the day still had 60% battery.I let my grandson play Angry Birds on it for 2 hours and still had 30% left. I call that excellent!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best phone I ever had.

I was going to buy the iphone S but when the salesman showed me the features of this and the iphone, I was blown away. I have only had this phone for a few days and I can hardly put it down. The 4g is blazing fast. Way better that my last phone that was 3g. The colors are amazing also. I think i would have been dissapointed if I bought the iphone then discovered this one. I am a happy camper
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, very fast processor
Cons: none

This is the best phone out there. Yes that includes the Galaxy Nexus, Droid Razr and any other phone you can think of. Yes it doesn't have ICS yet but it's coming. The phone is lightening fast. And has an amazing battery. Oh plus it has 4G. Best experience I've ever had with a phone.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, battery life, lightening fast
Cons: no ics (yet)
