On a side note
Mikroft: Do you think its a worth upgrade over a Nexus S? I waited for that Nexus til the day it released and love it but when i ran the phones side by side the SII was just unbelievably fast. The touchwiz is kinda hindering performance right now though... | All depends on what you're looking for. If you want the latest and greatest hardware then sure. The phone is insanely fast. If the nexus s does what you want and having the latest updates first then keep it.
Touchwiz is not laggy for me at all. Its buttery smooth. But I still replaced it with adw launcher ex.

Can't stand texting on a touchscreen get the AT&T version of the SGS2, comes with a slider keyboard. The phone will probably be noticeably thicker compared to the standard touchscreen only SGS2 but Samsung is stepping up their game, having alternatives for people to choose.  | |

Ended up getting both the SGP Glas (Black) and the Ultra Crystal.
If the Glas is ugly, I'm using the screen protector instead... so either one will be up for sale when it arrives lol.
Also, if you can't figure out how to root/unlock, check my post a few pages back.
In fact, I figured it out by reading the replies in this very thread, and it's been talked about for the last 10 pages.

yummmmm!
Rooting, flashing and unlocking was a breeze.
Phone is sexy as hell.
How do ppl customize their theme? Still using launchers? That's how I did it back then when I had the Nexus One. LOL

Its seriously like 3 clicks and the programs/phone does the rest.
All you'll need to download is:
1. CF Root, make sure you download the same as what you're running
(Example, my phone came with KG2, so I downloaded KG2)
2.Samsung Kies
3. Odin (There's a download link posted one page 23)

I don't know if it's my phone, but when I lock my phone the screen just dims to black. In reviews I've watched of the phone, isn't it supposed to do the TV tube animation?
Do yours?

Has anyone found a rom that lets you change the SMS styles again? I updated my firmware and I can no longer change the theme/style of my sms conversations, only the font size.

Do yours? | the tv tube animation is only for stock gingerbread i believe. diff roms have it enabled though. [MOD] Greener SystemUI.apk & battery mod / CRT effect for XWKE2/KE7/KF1/KF3/XXKG1/KG2 - xda-developers

One thing I miss about the nexus s is that if you put the phone on vibrate/silent mode, it silences the camera.
I'm assuming if you flash the GS2 with a different rom that will be enabled?

Anyone know any nice cases with a kick stand? I've seen a couple of ugly ones... | lemme know when u recieve the ultra optics, i'll take it off your hands .
i think case-mate has a pop case with a kickstand, but it looks kinda bulky
