@Anonymous
I really don't understand what u r getting to here!!
And what Manner r u complaining about man!
All what am ssaying is that the Video zooming in SGS2 @720 is poor comparable to zooming @720 in the Nokia N8... And am saying that in SGS2 Zooming it just crops the video with "POOR" Quality and its blurry, unlike the N8 When u Zoom it Auto-Pixel-ate.... That's it bro.
And still am questioning from where exactly can I get the confirmation that this issue will be Fixed,,,, Thanks All :)

I've had the S2 for 4 weeks now. In my opinion, it beats my old iPhone 3GS hands down. It is faster, brighter, and louder than the iPhone. Charging is slightly slower, but the battery seems to last a bit longer than the iPhone. Apps all interact well, and the processor is lightening fast. My wife, who got herself an iPhone 4 about 6 weeks ago now wants to change that for a Galaxy S2.

I was not a great fan of Android having had a Sony Ericsson X10 for my work phone for several months. The X10 is OK, but I found it clunky and slow and not too intuitive. Samsung have re-worked Android and made the entire user experience easier than ever with a simple but effective re-think of the interface process with a simple home key and soft menu and back buttons. Simply brilliant.

The phone is a pleasure to use. Radio performance (i.e. the ability to follow cell hand overs when on the move)and lack of dropped calls are head and shoulders above the iPhone. After all, you want the phone to make calls don't you?

I don't do much SMS but what I have done seems easy enough.

WiFi performance is also streets ahead of the iPhone. Sitting next to my wife in a street cafe in France last week, i was able to see and log on to 3 free WiFi hotspots that her iPhone did not even register. There is also the ability to use the S2 as it's own wifi hot spot when connected to 3G / HSDPA, so others can benefit from the phenominal performance.

Camera is good with excellent flash.

There will be better phones given time I'm sure, but this is one i will stick with for a few years now.

Also i had a samsung wave before the galaxy and there was no issue with screen burn.

galaxy 2 has no lag when running multiple programs and the battery lasts for a good 2 days, you just have to condition it properly and control your settings on android. peace out

With your SUPER-AMOLED displays which look good but have a higher chance of burnout.

The arc has a LED-backlit LCD, with a bravia engine.
It might have a single core but the phone is SUPER smooth and doesnt lag at all.

Each phone has its advantages, and they are both awesome phones

VIDEO RECORDING ZOOMING @720p ISSUE!!!!

This is a Great Phone and One Of Its Powerful Aspects Is the HD Camera;however, Zooming @ 720p is really "POOR"... It is just cropping,unlike the N8 While Zooming it Auto-Pixel-ate... Anyone have any Idea that there will be a Solution for This Matter ??????

I'll Really Appreciate a Reply.. Thanks :):)

S2 need an update, over the air no need for Kies I hope, soon, because XWKE1 on my S2 have some bugs, and I fear that the problem, lag..., with the "Monte Carlo" track in GT Racing Motor Academy that I installed from Samsungs Game Hub, and Dungeun Defenders Force Close after the initial video and some other games also Force Close, probably is the software drivers for the gpu, and I have some other apps Force Close for no reason at all.
Samsung updated S1 but remember that it was not made very good and one update was even cancelled just after release, and KIES was really painful and useless so I hope they can update S2 over the air that is built-in S2.
