Samsung Galaxy S II could very well be the best Android smartphone on the market today. The display with Super AMOLED Plus technology that manages to be both frugal and visible outdoors, while the dual-core 1.2GHz processor does a similar balancing act with power use and performance quote

The successor to one of the most popular Android handsets to date carries a burden of expectations almost as sizable as its 4.3-inch Super AMOLED Plus screen. It promises to be thinner, lighter, and faster than the Galaxy S that preceded it, while garnishing Android 2.3.3 with a set of TouchWiz...

Absurdly powerful and having a one-of-a-kind screen – the Samsung I9100 Galaxy S II is an easy phone to recommend. But that’s one thing you don’t need to do. Its reputation precedes it. The Galaxy II succeeds where previous dual-core droids have failed and provides the most complete smartphone...

This is a SOLID contender to the iPhone 4 and beats it in several categories. This phone is WAY faster than the iPhone 4, it's thinner, lighter, and feels more durable. The ONLY thing this phone could use is a bump in resolution and better battery life. The latter can come with a firmware...

If you don't want to read the rest, here's my three word review: Awesome User Experience. This is a great phone and the universal praise in every review will already tell you that so I'm not going to regurgitate everything about the screen and the speed and the camera, because you can already...

I'll make this short and simple. Fast device (dual core 1.2 ghz), awesome battery life, beautiful screen, gingerbread, ultra thin and light. Placed on ATT with the $15 unlimited dataplan = dream device. Just make sure you take advantage of Samsung Dive in corporation with another phone security...

Note that heavy usage for me means: Wifi, GPS on all day. 3 hrs watching 720p video. 5 email accounts, twitter, facebook, 50 news feeds, weather and even more syncing regularly all day long. Screen on max brightness half the time.

Coming from an iPhone 3G the speed and ability to customise phone is a breath of fresh air. Defintaly over the whole apple way of doing things. Have moved from TouchWiz to Launcher Pro, else everything is still stock and unrooted
