Clickety website. Tonight's show will be up to view soon.
Damn - was about to come on and post exactly this.
Just watched it with my wife who loves iphone
Beat the motorola driod & nexus one - and (as said) nearly the iphone. Bearing in mind the gadget show loves the iphone to death :S
Ouch...the Nexus One took a panning
Considering how Apple biased these guys are, I think they must have been very impressed with the HD2. For me, the HD2 is the best phone available at the moment.

the spelling mistake in the URL is on purpose, , , ch5 have spelled it wrong
and who cares what anyone else think, I, and I repeat I think this is the best device for ME, period. Don't you think?
It's nice to see media are noticing phones other than Apple branded ones!
Why can't I see the video? Says I can't watch from my current country/location? What gives?

Also bearing in mind the review focused on two of the 'weaker' aspects of the HD2, the camera and text input, it just shows how good the HD2 really is (I personally think the camera is very good, up with my Ignito/Diamond if not better, and once I installed Swype - wow fantastic!)
I haven't had a single crash, no obvious issues with my 1.48 ROM + camera fix, totally happy so far

It'll be on here soon, unless it gets uploaded by other means
TBH the review itself is superficial, complete with classic english eccentricity, it's the outcome that's surprising considering the gadget show's iPhone fanboys
Forward to 6:51:30 and pay close attention to the her hand raised to her Ear @ 6:51:38 and Pause....that bak of the HTC HD2 !!!!!!
They have masked the front of the phone with CGI...LoL
HTC HD2 .....YEP !!! there it is !!!

the region restricted video content has not been in place long. can't see the point of a site like others that restrict viewing to the UK where it airs anyway.
I always thought that the Gadget show was sponsored by Apple as they are so biased!
One thing though...Why didn't they include the Iphone as part of the tests?? surely that would have been a fair comparison....Well we all know that the Iphone would have been knocked off it's perch and they wouldn't want to show that!
Here you can join the early access for almost any android phone and give feed back.
This is TAThome for android: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOGmnnGpoqg
And here is the website: http://www.tat.se/
Thank you for your time
P.S i DO NOT work at TAT or have any relations with TAT all right go to TAT engineers and designers.
It looks amazing but I remember a similar demonstration for a 3D TAT interface on the N95 way back when, and nothing ever came of it. Is this getting a definite release?
Seems really interesting...
I would like to try it

I'm not 100% sure about this but i think it will be released because there is a sign up for getting early access, So the only thing to do right now is sign up and hope for the best
P.S i will give feed back and share videos here if i ever get the early access
Yeah, well I've signed up. Let's hope something comes of this
Signed up, too.
I think this is not part of the "Nexus One Development"

Lol, I hadn't even noticed that we were in that section. I assumed it was themes and apps! Probably should be
No, other than the weather widget (which actually does a good job looking natural and making good use of space) I think that it's pretty much a bust. Unnecessary gestures and poor layout/viewing angles, this feely like a "me too" attempt at (ab)use of opengl.
Moved to general......
No thanks.
Looks cool but its just too much eye candy to me.
How do I sign up for early access? I don't see a link on their site.
Thanks

you didn't look around there too awful hard, didja ?
if only there was a way for people to use their software's because I'm sure if they release it to the public there will be a lot of people willing to make GUI's even better then that.
I'm another person luckily enough to be given a galaxy s2 direct from samsung anyway i've already done a short review if anyone cares to watch...and i plan on doing a few more videos too!
you can get to my videos at my youtube through my twitter account which is staceymobiler, or you can head to my blogspot which is staceysamsungmobiler.blogspot.com
Any feedback is welcome, i think some of you might have already seen some of us samsung mobilers around before on here anyway!
Welcome Stacey!
Yes most of us have already enjoyed your video review.
Thanks for chiming in here, hope you will provide even more useful info and compliment our friend Dom here
Hey Stacey, first of all thank you for your review, was quite nice to watch
The recording quality was nice, you let us have a look onto the stuff that comes out of the box with our beloved SGSII. You elaborated on the hardware specs as well as software (OS/Hubs). Then you told us about the battery life which sounds very promising
ahh yes Dom! he's a great guy! we're both loving our new phones! But yes, any questions don't hesitate to send them my way and i'll do my best to help!

Stacey - if you do it, just do not use your rings or earrings with diamonds, they cut GG like butter.
i'll give you an answer tomorrow...i left my sennheiser ones at work
as for a gorilla glass test...i might leave that to Dom...he has a bigger earing collection than me! jk
Hi stacey.
Does it come with the Samsung package any cable to connect to the TV? Like HDMI?
Does it refer anything on specification of having NFC?
Can you know if there are any available to buy? at what cost?
I would really wanna know that before buying. Sorry so many questions.
Regards.

In the box i received it only had the usb cable, however i do believe hdmi cables will be available to buy.
The model i have doesnt have nfc, i believe that will only be an option in some specific markets...or if the phone comes with the hardware (rf arial) it will be enabled in software at a later update.
Currently the new sgs2 is available for pre order, however i would check with your local vendor for network availability and specific release dates. In the UK the sgs2 is currently retailing for around £500 sim free
Hope this helps!
Hi Stacey.
I have a question.
Have you tried transferring movie files bigger than 4 GB to the internal memory
and SD card and checked if it’s possible to play the video?
It’s probably the same limit for the internal memory and SD card.
There has been discussions in forums that the max file size is 4GB.
You probably need to copy/rip a bluray movie to get a video file bigger than 4 GB.
EDIT:
Could you also test this with USB memory/stick containing the video file and connected to micro USB if possible ?
SGS2 is supposed to have USB On-The-Go.
Per CNET blog:
excerpt -
"...and now a press conference on May 5, co-hosted by AT&T and Samsung.
The two companies just sent out invites to the event, which will take place in New York starting at 1 p.m, PT, but revealed few details about what they will discuss. The invite does indicate that there will be product demos, so it's pretty safe to assume that we'll see a new phone or perhaps a tablet?
There are a couple of possibilities. It could be the Samsung Galaxy S II, which was announced at Mobile World Congress 2011, but our Android Atlas blogger Scott Webster believes it will be AT&T's version of the Nexus S..."

Infuse 4G, nexus s?
It's probably for that 4.5" Samsung phone (Infuse 4G). It has a Super AMOLED Plus display, but isn't dual core...
Wish it's GS2, I feel Infuse will not be a popular device.

Yes, I noticed that later. When I went to post originally, a list of "similar" posts came up and I reviewed it . None appeared to be the same (but the site was running very slowly so my patience was thin). So I posted.
I don't know if you are available, but I have a posting police job that you would be perfect for. It doesn't pay anything, but you get a badge. Let me know if you are interested.
Thanks.
wow that is a really prestigious spot whitelaw you should take it i would love to have an officer as diligent as you watching over our forums

Nothing to see here, move along. Lol, just wanted to be the first one to make that joke.
So, we know virtually Nothing yet (so many jokes) but the ambition is clear: become what OnePlus used to be.
The question is: would you get one? Feel free to share your demands below.
#NeverSettle. Err, I mean #NoCompromise or something.
Bullwinkle:"Watch me pull a rabbit out of my..."
I'm ready for sure, I can't wait to see what this new Phone (1) will be like.
Oh here goes "Nothing". Really excited to see the Phone (1)
Probably not! Let's see maybe Nothing 2
I saw the article which caught my interest. With a name such as "Nothing" I was excited that it might be a vanilla AOSP phone with no preinstalled apps except F-Droid and Aurora Store.

Depends on price. If it's cheap like realme and xiaomi then yes it's worth price . But if it's overpriced like Samsung or apple then no it's not worth price.

If they are going to be as 'open' as they claim to be it should be a breeze to unlock and flash whatever you want. If they follow in the footsteps of the OnePlus One and even improve on that concept then it should be the most development friendly (mainstream) phone ever.

Why be so critical of a product we don't know yet?
You just have to remember that not so long ago a large majority of smartphones were open and you could practically unlock it easily and flash what you wanted. You just had to wait for the kernel to be available.
I'm also looking forward to seeing what this new smartphone will be like. I've been on HTC for a long time, then I tested the OP7T, which disappointed me a bit and I followed the other OnePlus models which didn't really convince me.
Unlike some people, I don't swear by one brand, so I'm not really a fanboy, but I try to remain pragmatic and open to what can be offered. So I'm waiting and looking forward to see what Nothing will produce.
I hope it will be a really open smartphone so that we can integrate other external products to Nothing, according to our choices and desires.

Waiting to see the price. I have good expectations as it wants to redo the same magic as the 1+1 and on top of that they have bought essential phone assets. These were the best phones I had. Still have my ph1 with a cracked screen just to relief from time to time the itch to flash a ROM. Something my daily s10 can't do

I don't know much more than most people, but I think the selling price should be between 400/600€ for a wide price range.

600€ that makes 800$ Canadian. Good price. The s21 FE is 700$

I think we can all agree that 300-400 won't be feasible any longer to achieve flagship specs like they did back in 2014. The price range you've mentioned would indeed hit the sweet spot. Anything upwards of that will quickly have the masses lose interest. I'd definitely shell out €500 for a new flagship killer.
