Official Indian GS2 Owner's Thread - views, reviews and more!! - Galaxy S II General

Hey guys...
Had pre-ordered at letsbuy.com earlier and paid in full a couple of days back. Just got an e-mail from them informing that my order has been shipped via Aramex, along with the tracking number... and so the countdown begins !!
I'm sure there are several members in the same boat as me, and other's who are waiting for the GS2 to show up in stores to pick it up. The thought behind this thread is to have a central repository for all the views & reviews about the phone and share any other info as well.
Looking forward to hearing from all owners about their experience and posting my own in a couple of days as well!
Cheers!

Congratulations. I am looking forward to get it too as soon as possible.
Don't forget to post the pics..

Got my SGS 2 !!!
Wazzzzaaa.Got my SGS2 !!! ( not from letsbuy though ).It's 5:30am i'm still playing with it will post info tomorrow..zzzz....No NFC chip btw.Everyone please stop whining about it.It's of no use to us here in India.

my SGS2 is shipped too yesterday from LetsBuy....but Aramamex ??
It should have been blue dart or something..more reliable ..as far as my experience with Aramex goes, they have a crappy courier service in India..

Mine shipped with DTDC, I hope that it will reach in good condition (today?)

Waiting for detail review.

Will do.. plenty of them!! Already have two cases in hand, the Sena ultra-slim leather case and one from Zenus with the kickstand. The official Samsung 'vent' case is on the way as well and should be delivered by early next week.. so in all a lot of pictures to be posted, and if required videos as well !!

So finally I have recieved my SGS2 this evening after waiting for many weeks. Letsbuy has shipped the SGS2 along with free accessories (Car Charger, molife mobile case and screen protector) except the HDTV adapter.

Congrats mate! Can you also post a pic of the screen protector? or is it in the Molife case itself?

Yes, the screen protector is in the molife case.

The screen protector is not a perfect fit, need to check with letsbuy folks..

Congrats mate. But Letsbuy was supposed to pack the HDTV adapter too!
Anyway, I am impatiently waiting for this one. I am from Kolkata and has been told that it will come here on 8th June. Lets see...

Got my SGS2 today... now I plan to get screen protector, a case and spare battery.

They have mentioned that they will start shipping HDTV adapter separately from 14th of June. They actully said only Car charger will be sent along with phone (in the mail) but they have sent Molife case and screen protector too.

Help finding screen protectors in the UK

I just ordered the K-Jam which will be arriving tomorrow
Where in the UK can I find a decent screen protector for it? I would prefer an online retailer.
Thanks.
It is in Hong Kong but very reliable.
And what's important their screen protector is the best.
I only buy this one.
http://shop.brando.com.hk/screenprotector.php
It will last as long as your Wizard with no scratch.
And it is great to eliminate reflections.
There's a new one http://shop.brando.com.hk/ultraclearscreenprotector.php
But I never tried it.
Thanks. I ordered 1 of each to try. the thing is it says it will take 15 days to arrive. :shock: Must be going by surface mail
I need the protector by Monday so does anyone one have any other suggestions?
have taken the plunge and ordered the ultraclear version, delivery is said to be around 10days....
I ordered the Expansys ones.... we'll see how well that works out. Least the deliever is 1 or 2 days

i have a screen protector, from a old pda cut down to size while i wait for the new ones
www.boxwave.com --- the best!

as said in a earlier post i ordered from the shop quoted above, and been told by my wife that my sreen protectors have arrived today!
i wont see them myself until this evening, but i had to say how impressed i was with the speed!
ordered on the 2nd from HongKong and received in the UK on the 8th.
hope they do the job :lol:
just to finish my last post,
got home, put on the new screen protector, and it's great.
I have had three EXIM screen protectors, one for my XDA II Mini and two for mine and my dads digicams and they are the best. Perfectly clear, easy to apply, writing with stylus is normal, and you can remove and adjust them.
I have one coming for my K-JAM (one for the JAM/XDA Mini) which like the others I got off eBay. Last one I ordered (for my XDA Mini) came in 4 days!

HTC OEM Case: Will it work for Fuze?

The case below is a horizontal pouch style. I am curious about the fit. IT was originally marketed with the HTC Touch Dual styled devices. Do you guys think it would be a good fit for the Fuze?
http://cgi.ebay.com/HTC-TOUCH-OEM-E...14&_trkparms=72:1240|66:4|65:12|39:1|240:1318
The other option for me is another OEM case shown here:
http://www.windowsmobilenow.com/us/p_wm_acc1.aspx?i=169487&partner=wmusfroogle
If anyone has either of these cases I would really like your comments on fit. I expect the finish will be similar to the finish of the HTC OEM Tytn case that I currently carry. Any help is appreciated as i need to protect her soon. My front pocket is not the ideal carry spot for me and the Tytn case is simply too big for the Fuze.
I'm using the S322 case, magnetic closure instead of velcro, for my T-Mobile MDA Vario IV (Raphael 300).
Bit tight in the early days, but works like a charm.
You mention that yours has a magnetic closure instead of velcro. Did they release both variants? Where did you purchase from and how did you ensure that you got the right one.
I bought it at a mobile phone shop in the nearest city, don't remember which one...
It was in an original HTC blister packaging, they removed it so I could try it on my Vario IV.
As I already stated, a tight fit, so I handed over 16 € and left them the blister packaging
It has one magnet, not as powerfull as the two in the TyTN case but strong enough.
Don't know about the velcro closure, it's not mentioned on the Dutch site, it's mentioned on the UK site and the Expansys site. (who are running the European htc accessory store)
Thanks for your input. Unfortunately, most US dealers never carry OEM cases, and I am forced to buy online sight unseen. I like a snug fit that develops into a perfect fit as you've described so I guess I just need to make my purchase.

I actually saw the oem htc side case in BestBuy o.o In cell phones accessories. They had 100's of em! I was in shock. Never had I seen htc accessories in best buy. I found invisibleSHIELD and BodyGuardz for the iPhone and diamond too
Make my month by saying this was at a location within an hour or two of DC... PLEASE...
Was this the only one they had?

I have the one from the Best Buy link. It came with an HTC phone I bought some time ago. I can't even remember which one. BUT, alas it is simple too big for the Fuze.

It's like the first one, but it fits the fuze. I mean I almost bought it, but it was $32. And sorry, this was in Cali.

Guys,
I will go to BestBuy to check this out in further detail. But in the meantime...
@Venelar,
Please post some photos of the phone in the case and out. I would love to see as many as you could post.
EDIT:
I went by my local BestBuy, and sure enough that is the exact case that I already have. IMNSHO that case is too large for the phone. I will be trying to secure the HTC PO S322.
Guys, I was on the HTC Forum where I saw this "customizable leather" case and some glowing reviews. It seems to be nice enough, and thought I would see any of the xda family had picked one up. I have never ween it mentioned here so I thought you guys would want to know. I think I'll order one.

Shameless nudge in hopes of grabbing attention/opinions.

I just ordered one of the A1 cases. Did you get your case? how was it?
I purchased this soft pouch case ( http://www.mobilecityonline.com/wir...=organic&utm_term=POS322&utm_campaign=froogle ) from the store in NYC. It's a tight fit at first, it even peeled away my screen protector (2 of them) at first but it becomes just right after awhile. The velcro could be a bit better too...

$400 ... ?
It has voice capabilities and i bought it for 689 Euro, which is almost 900$.
I was thinking about 550, given that it has a case, a screen protector and a car charger coming with it.

The AT&T one goes for 650$ new and is easy to switch to voice capability
You can probably sell yours around 500$ (I am not bidding for it, I already have mine)

As I understand there are promotion sale on each country and curiuos about what are the offers?
UK - Voucher for movies/music/ebook?
Sweden/India/Malaysia - Bundled with flipcover
So do any more others country have such promotions?
If I understand you correctly, you said you have OEM Flip Covers - right? One being the case that came with your initial purchase & the other came with a replacement Note. Would you consider selling your spare to me please. If so please send a PM so I could send you immediate payment.
I'm begging you cuz I'd like to a have a bundled unit which states, "Not for Resale" and its packaging please. I anxiously await your reply and hope you'll be understanding and sell and make some $$$ - consider it trading the case for a steak dinner or something like that

In Malaysia, I got my Galaxy Note bundled with the flip cover.
It is very nice and is attached to the back cover, thus making it very thin and also gives added protection to the front screen. The thin back cover is also included should I decide not to use the one with the flip cover.
I also us a belt pouch and the entire phone including flip cover can be slotted in for ease of carrying and also for added protection to this lovely phone.
In India Samsung is going to offer blue flip case for first 100000 buyers.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App
Italy sends you the flip cover, a bt, a gender changer for usb, a car charger and - unsure now - a tv adapter. Lots of stuff if you buy within the year. I should receive them next week I hope.

Good Screen protector options

I am planning on using Drbrand skin (front and back) on my S7 edge- https://dbrand.com/shop/galaxy-s7-edge
Can somebody recommend a good screen protector that will go nicely with this?
Thanks
Copter. Works great for my other phone and my iPad Air 2. And a lifetime warranty.
Full body haven't arrived but today Copter asked me if I would test it before it pops up on the market on my upcoming S7 Edge, which I will. I'll let you know how it is.
But out of my previous experience with my other gadget I'm still positive with Copter.

Since I'm in Sweden I only get Swedish retails when I google the screen protector itself. But they are available in all main markets around the world.
