Best smartphone with amazing display, unbelivable fast browsing, great games, very good call quality, perfect camera, lightning fast phone. And it is razor thin and very light. Its the vest phone you can buy :)
I also think build quality is very good.

Excellent handset.
udi.shoshan has owned it for less than month before publishing this review
This is one of the best handset GSM, if not the best of all. Very responsive, very good display, and the Android OS is fine. The fact that the back cover is very thine plastic, is not a problem - any way, no one open it (almost) and when it is close it is rigid. And if you put the handset into protection case, there is no problem at all.
My only remark is the battery life .. it is Ok for one day (almost), but I'm using wifi all the time.. The Bluetooth RSAP, works perfectly with Mercedes car kit. !Build quality 9/10Reception 10/10Call quality 10/10Internet 10/10Multimedia 10/10Camera 10/10UI speed 10/10Everyday usage 10/10Text input 10/10Display 10/10Battery 8/10Pros

Samsung Galaxy S II is as easy to use as if you keep a conversation.
Very useful smartphone, you'll find it very accessible in lot of situations. I highly recommend it for it's utility, battery power, speed and build quality. It's up to day, both technological and durity and a cool design to keep you in current with the fashion.Build quality 10/10Reception 10/10Call quality 10/10Internet 10/10Multimedia 10/10Camera 10/10UI speed 10/10Everyday usage 10/10Text input 10/10Display 10/10Battery 10/10

Good, well designed business phone
Don has owned it for less than month before publishing this review
Best phone so far. I've come from the old Nexus1, to the HTC Wildfire, to the HTC Desire, then the SGSI, and finally the SGSII. What a difference! Specs wise, I don't know why HTC insist on such a small memory space for apps; the SGSI and SGSII both offer GIGABYTES compared to the HTC few hundred mb (not storage, actual app space). This so far has been the defining factor for Samsung: no messing about with app space. Even my SGS1 before app-to-sd features on 2.2 and above could handle many many apps no problem.

I hate you Samsung, my life feels so complete now, there's nothing else to live for. Might aswell slit my wrist and say goodbye..

Coming from the original HTC Desire, I must say this is truly the first phone since that's blown me away.
I only just received it today and straight from the box I managed 5 hours of continuous playing around and setting up plus 10 hours standby. The battery was roughly 3/4 or 2/3 charged. Note that this was without a SIM card installed.
My Desire couldn't even pack in half a day with hardly any use, so yes, I am speechless in terms of battery life; shall wait and see how things are once I get my SIM in on a fully charged battery.
Love the Kies Air and Task Manager apps - the manager actually kills off Skype! :)
Everything else is what you would expect - mind blowing!
Now the bad bits -
Not very ergonomic; I can never seem to get a good comfortable grip.
Build quality; solid but still cheap materials, especially for a £500 phone.
And finally the screen size; I think 4" is as far as it should go.Build quality 7/10Reception 10/10Call quality 10/10Internet 10/10Multimedia 10/10Camera 10/10UI speed 10/10Everyday usage 7/10Text input 10/10Display 8/10Battery 10/10

best phone out there hands down.
have been waiting for this phone for 3 months, and now i'm living the high life.
the display is amazing, best i have ever seen. battery life is surprisingly good, even after a few hours of gaming. pictures and video recording are up to par with even the best picture cameras.
this is a must buy.
