Galaxy S2 is certainly a very interesting device with the best display of the current smartphones and high performance hardware.

No,i will be in Pune on 17th,then to Mumbai with 1 of my friend.
Both of us are going for SGS 2,as per now the dealer has confirmed 1.2Ghz+Super Amoled Plus version.But the final price he is saying might go to Rs 32,000 also but then as two of us are going for it,we are quite confident of the deal for Rs 30,000

I would appreciate it if you would post some pics after the purchase. Ill take a trip down to Mumbai as well.

Well don't get your hopes up, because lots of people get fooled by phone resellers... I'm not saying you won't get your phone by Monday, but don't be too disappointed when you don't, because you probably won't

my thoughts exactly. a big authorized retailer would not risk the reputation and the relationship with Samsung by selling a phone [under the table?] prior to the official release date. But I have never been to India, may be it is standard practice there

Let's see,it's the same shop from where i got my N1 back in March 2010.
Mumbai & Delhi in India are the two cities where you can get almost all the latest GSM Smartphones.
Let's see.

Not really comparable. Nexus One was already available as from January 2010 in some countries, so maybe it was an import model I don't know...
Here we're talking about a phone which hasn't been released anywhere worldwide.

Well, I for one hope you get it. Cause that would be good for all those who wish to get it in India.

I Hope so too!! I am from India too and right now waiting for the S2. It would be great news for all those who are waiting to buy it in India! Do post some pics! it would be nice too finally see the pics of the Samsung Logo on the front

Well, about that video. Damn that screen is nice!! I have been waiting for a vid to really show off the screen, this does it. Those blacks, omg!

Was it just me or was the Quadrant score in that video less then the one in the image posted a couple of days ago. It might be due to the processor speed or something else.

They might have the 1Ghz version.
I was thinking the same, I believe the score was 2500 vs the posted image of 3000.

Hmm. I thought so too but one of the responses in the YouTube video says that it was a 1.2Ghz model.

Perhaps running apps in the background might make a difference.
Just a thought.

Sprint Within

Samsung Galaxy S II US carrier names revealed: AT&T Attain, Verizon Function, and Sprint Within.
http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/16/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-us-carrier-names-revealed-atandt-attain-veri/

These names are just getting stupider and stupider

Thats only gay if you clean it off with your tongue. Otherwise its just silly good natured fun.

Lol Sprint Within...that makes me laugh

Names aside, the significant old news -- albeit speculatively based upon this one web page from the aftermarket manufacturer/vendor of the gel case -- is that the Sprint "Within" apparently has no keyboard.

There's a little Sprint within you, and you, and you...

Looks like everyone but the U.S. is getting the Samsung Galaxy S II one way or the other and it seems like future owners have been waiting an eternity to get one. Hopefully Sprint will launch its version of the phone in a matter of weeks as what is believed to be called the Galaxy Within has been allegedly pictured above.
As you can see in the comparison shot we've put together below, the basic lines and what appear to be specifications are quite the same. Give or take a couple of details, you still have your eight-megapixel at the back but this time above the flash --which also seems larger -- instead of its left.
The Sprint logo should clear any doubts of the destination for the Within and the side buttons/rockers seem to match. With its 1.2GHz Exynos CPU coupled with 1GB of RAM, 4.3-inch Super AMOLEDPlus screen and a two-megapixel front facing camera, the Galaxy Within would be the EVO 3D's strongest competitor on Sprint. For all of you out there waiting, it should be coming soon -- late July according to rumors -- and with Android 2.3.4 at that!

Sprint within sounds corny... now..
Samsung Galaxy WiThin. A galaxy s2 variant. Much better!!

ls there a reason to upgrade from the Epic? I'm only a year into my contract with Sprint. Is there a way to get a discount on the Within and then sell the Epic on Ebay?

I had to upgrade in July due to a weird Premier loophole that allows me one more yearly update that expired 7/31, so I'm praying that this baby comes out in August so I can exchange for it. C'MON GSII on Sprint!

they are getting paid by Samsung you know that right? -_-
also it has been done with Sense 4 ROMs on HTC Sensation and that didn't DISCOURAGE them to provide that same offer to SGSIII users
It's business there's no such thing as discourage in business its sweet deal to THEM as Samsung is buying HUGE amount of space from them!

The people that hacked the HTC drop box apk had the 'extra' space removed. Furthermore the guy who did the actual hack was 'asked' by Drop box to refrain from hacking their app.

Oh was he? That's unfortunate as the extra 50GBs free for two years would be pretty decent especially those with the 20GB added from HTC.

try and read more what?! did i say he kept it?! he said that a move like that might make dropbox stop supporting these kind of NICE services so i told him it happened already and they kept doing it as they are getting PAID for it, relax dude have a beer or something

Unless it is indefinite I would keep my storage down to the "free" level. The problem is once they hook you into all that storage and it becomes necessary and the only option they then can start billing. Likely something people would not have done themselves.
As for me. I'd prefer a 32MB phone with a 64MB card.....I am my own DropBox.
I do have the free account to upload files I want to later use on my phone or in my business to transfer shared files when necessary . But I don't use it for Mass Storage.

Nice to see someone from the wonderful island nation of Barbados here!! I live in St. James near Holetown a month or two out of the year on average. Haven't been down in a while though (getting homesick something awful!) .
What provider are you using, and how are the data speeds? I usually go with a pay-as-you-go SIM from Digicell (good for island hopping), but might go C&W if there are better speeds/data buckets/tariffs.

[Q] Anyone getting texts from Gamestop to pick up?

I'm hoping I'm not breaking any rules creating a new thread for this.
I just received this text. No 'date' is shown. Its fairly self explanatory, though I'm curious if it means today or next friday.

WOW i should've just got one from GameStop. Who knew? Pre-order from Google and I get mine later than the people who pre-ordered from a retailer. Seems backwards to me

I can verify its live. I just got a call from the guy at gamestop (not a friend, not a buddy, just the guy who works there).
On my way for pick up.

The bad news... I had to spend money, lol
I thought he was going to say it was in but they couldn't sell them yet

Guess I should have pre-ordered from gamestop instead of the second it was live on the google play store.
Do the gamestop sales have the 25 dollar credit and all that stuff?

Well that will be under 24K if you buy it from US...Again if after 16th May, some stable govt. comes in power(especially Modi), then there is a possibility of dollar going down against rupee....hope it comes under 50(extreme ideal conditions), then OnePlus One will be way cheaper for us...hope this comes true..fingers crossed

That is just for first few days...actually Oneplus has started this Invite system just to check the demand for their phones so that they don't end up producing a lot more than the demand...After 10 or 20 days, they will start selling it online without the Invite system.

Actually once they receive the package, it generally takes around 3 to 4 working days.... Cost depends on the weight. Four or five phones will cost around 900(at most) per phone. Main problem is customs where you don't know what will be the charge as it simply depends on the mood of the custom officer charging...
