Even today the SII is a magnificent phone, other phones may have passed it specwise, but the SII can still keep up with ease.

The SII and the iPhone 4 have really left their mark more than any other phone.

Besides the HD screen and larger display, the SII (international version) just a lone on raw power kills my Galaxy Nexus. Such a good phone.

"And for those with the Samsung Galaxy S III walking around like their phone is "all that," it won't be too long until you're in the same position, envious of your pal's Samsung Galaxy S IV."

Nope. I've already set up my GS3 to be exactly as I like. Of course there will be changes courtesy of new types of widgets\apps available, but given the fact that the GS3 has a quad-core Exynos processor which is: a. Very custom-rom friendly and b. very overclockable, aside from very heavy 3D games - it will still manage to do almost anything in the next 3 - 4 years. Especially when I will root it and install whatever Android 5.0 custom rom there will be. :D

Yet its HTC counterpart (Senstation) is still in hmm-ing and ahh-ing whether if it will get updated or not. KMT!

Greatest classic phones that have far surpassed their expectations, this is my opinion only. GS2/HD2 and the N900/N9.

I flashed the leaked official JellyBean rom for my Galaxy S2, so when I connect to Kies to update to the latest one it says 'your device's current firmware version is not supported to upgrade through Kies,

What should I do? Do I have to manually install this one as well?

Considering how many S2s are in the field and how capable the device is (the coming S2 Plus is actually a hardware downgrade), the JB upgrade makes sense. I've been waiting for it since the original announcement for 4q12. I wish Samsung would just get on with it and quit dawdling. And I hope this time it is a full upgrade rather than the half-baked one they did going from Gingerbread to sort-of ICS.

"Yeah, you used to tote around the greatest Android phone ever built. But that was more than two years ago and as you enviously eye your pal's Samsung Galaxy S III, the Samsung Galaxy S II nesting in your back pocket is feeling mighty old. But here is some news that might cheer you up"

It;s funny because in possibly a few months the S3 is going to be in eact position. The tech world is so rabid.
