Galaxy SII - best phone ever according to magazine - Galaxy S II General

I scanned through the review of this latest issue of smartphone essentials in a local supermarket. "Also this month we review the Samsung Galaxy S II and ask, “Is this the best smartphone ever?”
They gave it .......
.. 9/10.

Is there any chance to scan in the article mate?
There is no competition with the GS2 it is most certainly the best there is despite the nonsense spouted by the ever more tragic Apple fanboys.

cant wait for MIUI

Also, its a fantastic phone

Reviewers still haven't figured out that holding the menu button brings up search. This is the case with Galaxy S 1 as well. How do people with such limited technical knowledge get these jobs?

Meh. Graphic designers mirror and photochop images all the time to make it look "better" in the ad they are making. Its led to some classic Photoshop ad fails, like a left hand grafted to a right arm.

Ha,... I think it was an add for 3UK which showed some Nokia (5800 or N97) with an Android screen once.

Not as bad as the Droid X with an iOS screenshot on it in some of the Verizon ads.
I have recently seen a large number of flyers for the Blackberry Torch which clearly had a android homescreen with sense!
i saw another one today: android screenshot on an omnia 7 pro.. or whatever it was. either way, optus, and in fact the entire australian telecom industry fails.

Ahaha, this is good stuff, and I'm eager for Cyanogenmod efforts to free us from Samsung drama, but its funny how I totally knew it would be a screenshot of that screen. It's totally Android's winver, and just as ubiquitous when it comes to blurry-cam shots of prototype phones and new Nexus builds. XD
Friggin awesome noobnl!

Awesome man! Just to get this straight, will this be not be able to be run on the Epic until 2.2/2.3 is released by Samsung? I'm confused on that if so, because the EVO has CM7 and 2.3 hasn't been released yet for the EVO.

Another Google possible purchase

What do you think about this?
Nortel, as part of their bankruptcy filing, has already sold a number of intellectual properties and patents, like selling their CDMA/GSM/LTE assets to Ericsson in 2009.

I think they should take some of that $900 million dollars and hook me up.
I'd rather Google spend their time improving Android, rather than fighting patent lawsuits, so I'm all for it.

If you replace the letters in the word 'google' with s, k, y, n, e, and t, it spells skynet! Coincidence? I think not!

You want hint? I'll give you hint, It ain't no arc s, xperia duo, sg2 or sensation
looks good xD nexus phones are cool from my point of view, sadly 3g doesn't work here
I love how fluid the whole UI is, this could be the phone that converts the iOS masses to Android!
I wonder if the X10 will ever see ICS...
haha theres a big bald head in the reflection. and which phone do you think would be better, nexus prime or sgs2??

Oh hell yeah can't wait to get the Multi window feature.
.

Well, if they're testing it is because it's possible. I've seen the old SGS1 doing SO much even with that severe lack of memory, i reckon 1Gb is more than enough to do everything if well coded. I'm guessing it's just easier for samsung to add more ram than waste time in optimized coding and probably was a bit overboard hence the actual memory "problems". That and poor ram managing, my phone just seems to kill any process if the screen goes off after a while (it's a pain to download any game's extra data after installing, phone just cuts it off)
Anyway, this is wonderful news, thank you. Can't wait
Desperately waiting for this feature Great News
With this feature the s3 will definetly pwn the iphone5 and the nexus4 xd

believe me, when we'll have it, it'll post.
finger cross it'll be on final version as well.
I hope there will be a leak and then i can try to port it to the i9305
Yeah, right. I believe it when I see it, and a possibly photoshopped picture isn't valid proof.
the ****ers decided to make it as a closed beta only for those who bought their phone directly from them.
Heh i see this rom have kernel from 6-9 Nov xd
