For all those who have the Samsung Galaxy S2
Those who have I9100G - Well I have nothing to say, but you just ended up in the wrong side of the table. I don't want to say anything about this model.
Those who own Galaxy S2 I9100 - This is the best DualCore smartphone that you can look out for. The only problem is the battery backup. But again, there are many ways to improve it. I customized in such a way, that I get 1 entire day battery backup with norma...

Great phone!
Out of the box, the phone runs on Android 2.3.3 (gingerbread), upgradable via kies to 2.3.5 or 2.3.6; an ICS (android 4.0) update is round the corner.
The device is ultra-thin and ultra-light too. For comparison, my secondary device, the Nokia x1-01 is heavier than it.
The display is a Sup...

Please read before you buy!
First of all to all the users who are crying about the phones performance and battery, it is always advisable to get a little research done before you put in your money. We no longer in 80's and 90's when there were no tools available. Use the WORLD WIDE WEB a little rather and spending time behind comparing prices on other retailers.
Talking business...
I will try and talk as much as possible in a COMMON MAN's language.

A futureproof phone. And money well spent.
This phone is a wonder. I bought one this may and I am using it continuously throughout. The battery backup is powerful for a phone that packs that much hardware.
User who complain about the heating problem should know that a phone which has such powerful hardware and no heat outlet will heat.
The display on this phone is wonderful, watching a m...

Still a great phone.
Waited for the latest Androids like HTC one series and the Galaxy S3. However it seems to me they have been priced around Rs.10000 more that they should be. Hence I opted for Galaxy s2, which according to reviews and specs is still one of the best phones around. The S3 and One X may be better p...
