i've got one :-)

i was wondering what others thought of it

its the first smartphone ive ever bought so i cant really compare it to anything

but ive had no lag yet, its done exactly what i want it to and the photo/video quality is fantastic.

its like a film shot by BBC cameras and viewed in HD its that good.

its really slim

its got a "gorilla glass" screen?

apparently doesnt get scratched so no screen protector required?

someone said something about a youtube video where someone was really abusing this glass and it left no marking at all . but ive not seen it.

its just over 100g isnt it ?

it is really light, slim, and feels fairly strong.

i dont like the flimsy back cover for the battery etc, although i do like the rough texture which enables u to take a nice hold of it. rather than it being smooth and possibly slipping out of your hand due to its slimness.

can you take a screenshot on it, like you can do with i-phones? i cant seem to figure out how to do it. if at all possible...

"....Nonetheless, if you're asking us what smartphone to buy today, unconstrained by such externalities, the Galaxy S II would be the clear choice. Sometimes it's just as simple as that. "

it took me like 2 years to find the right smartphone to buy, and it looks like i made the right choice and would of regretted it immesely if i made a hasty decision.

happy bunny here
