I have tried a variety of different smartphones and I have to say the SII has come out on top. The screen is bright, you can customise your home and application screens to how you want and the... more

    5 Stars Sam Sung Galaxy S2... and i clearly heard him sing it too 28/01/2013
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Slim, great features, quick, easy to use and slim (twice, i know)

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none to put you off it

    A few weeks ago I was contacted by my mobile phone provider who made me an offer that I could not refuse. No, seriously, I’m not talking gangster rap here, it really was an offer that even I thought was a bargain. The package they offered had everything in it, as many SMS as I could handle with a lot of MMS thrown in, thousands of minutes chatting time and unlimited internet access on 3G. The reason for this offer was that they regarded me as a Loyal customer, which is nice, and considering that I have been with orange for so many years I think I should be given shares in the company, I was ... more

    5 Stars In a galaxy not so far away..... 27/02/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Beautiful 4" screen, music player, video recorder, great for internet

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Battery takes an age to charge and would probably be better lasting longer

    As upgrade time reared it’s head once more I decided it was just about time to forget about the low to mid range phones and cheaper contracts and go for something top of the range. While for many top of the range automatically equates to the iPhone, I’m a little different and have a huge dislike for the iconic Apple brand and was looking for something running the Android OS. With my previous three phones being Samsung, I felt it was best to stick to a brand I trusted and so I picked the Samsung Galaxy S2 as an upgrade from my Galaxy Europa. I received my phone free as part of a 24 month ... more

    5 Stars Samsung Galaxy S II - used to be my dream phone 04/11/2012

    Advantages Advantages Great camera, user friendly interface, variety of features and applications, thin and comfortable.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages I don't like it's shape

    Oh Samsung Galaxy S II, dreamed of you for so long :D. ~Exterior~ Let's start with the exterior of the phone, the things I like and dislike. Possitioning of the buttons and plugs: There is a big home button beneath the screen, I like this a lot, because for example in S III the home button is significanly smaller, which makes it hard to click while holdind the phone with one hand. On the right side, there is 1 simple button for lock, unlock and turn on and off functions. Something else, which I concider a minus is that the volume up and down buttons are placed on the left side of the phone ... more

    5 Stars Take you to another galaxy... 01/08/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Amazing design, loads of apps, so quick

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Quite pricey but so what?

    For a number of years now I have been a firm fan of Apple and their products, purchasing every iPhone that has been released including the iPhone 4. I am always amazed at them and never thought I could be persuaded into buying a different type of phone, but how wrong was I? My friend purchased this phone upon its release and had a difficult job getting me off it once she had it in hand. I am now in love! The Samsung Galaxy S II is the latest model of touchscreen smartphone that has been released by Samsung, having been developed from a slightly lower specification and older model, the Samsung ... more

    4 Stars A sleek, slimline lightweight phone that may as well be a tablet. 04/07/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages EVERYTHING....better than an iphone in my opinion

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Battery Life (or lack of one) is so annoying

    Ok...so I am a bit of a snob when it comes to phones, but I am not a tech head. I like the latest and greatest! Since my first contract at 18, I found I quickly get bored of phones and constantly have two contracts going on because I have upgraded early to the next best thing. This makes my bank balance very unhappy.. Phones are bigger and better than when I first started out with my flashing Nokia 3220. (The one with the the dancing lights) The old favourite tetris was on there and the best game around was snake which would keep you entertained for hours. Ring tones were basic and very tinny ... more
