Fantastic Business phone

PostedFebruary 16, 2013

"Ever had a call from a company trying to solicit your business? No? What planet do you live on?? When you get one of those, go the log after the call, click on the number, go to the menu (bottom left) and click on add to reject list. They won't bother you again if they are calling from that same number! The phone is well designed, works very well generally... and if some app or combination of apps causes a slow down or lock up, Shut it down, pop the battery for a couple of secs & restart. Problem solved until much later. Well done Samsung!"
Pros: Bright display, Durable

"After having this phone for approximately a year, I still have not run into any problems. The phone is powerful, it is fast and able to use any applications or perform any web browsing that I have attempted to date (and I am always on my phone). The only drawback I have found is that like all smartphones it is extremely easy to depleat the battery, but there are a number of tricks and applications to assist with that. So many other phones start to glitch or experience problems within a matter of months, and so the reliability and durability of this phone are definitely something worth mentioning. :)"

"The Galaxy SII is the best phone that I have ever had. I've had it for over a year now, and it is as good now as when I got it. The screen is sharp and responsive. People are still jealous when I show them the phone and it's features. Lightweight and solid feeling. Samsung is my go to manufacturer. I have several different types of products: cell phone(s), camera, laptop and tv. No problems with any of them."

"Good Phone. Easy to use. Good apps. Make sure you turn off your apps though the task manager to save battery life. Its hard to put it down haha... loads fast.. Havent really been on the lap top this phone does it all.. seems like a big phone. But the screen size is worth it.. Recommend a outter box case with the phone. it has drop and dust protection, Kind of a pricey case but worth it.."

"this phone is everything you need if you arent on the computer much, get rid of it and get this, all in one. some people say it is to big, well you should have looked and did some looking into it to see it is to big for you. if you dont mind a bigger phone. this is for you, camera is awsome, super responsive, even though i bought mine 2nd hand battery isnt bad i know i could but a new one but this is good for me. apps are really good, if ur compairing to iphone, bigger screen but not to big. 4G LTE babbbyyyyy! upto 32gb +16gb = 48gb. who even needs that much... i dont like the volume rockers becuase they look to plasticy and the headphone hack just looks cheap. i highly recommend this phone due to the quality ( iphone + no case droped on front or back = waste of money and possible depression.) and the proformance."

"I purchased this phone on a wime thinking hey, i have been on the iphone band-wagon for too long and need to try something new. Did some comparing with other android smartphones and decided to dive into this one. Must say, everything about this phone i love. Coming from a 3.5" screen on an iphone this is a huge difference. speed is amazing for loading, booting and shutting down. Only issue i have is that the battery drains faster than my old iphone 3gs, even with the screen brightness all the way down and not using system sounds other than for my alarm in the morning.
This thing is a must buy, cant wait for the ICS update"

"This would be my first Samsung phone. First off, the bad things: not that it really matters, but in low light conditions, black screens have small blobs and vertical lines that are only noticeable when you are looking for them. The screen is SLIGHTLY yellow. Now the good things: speed- 10/10, responsiveness- 10/10, intuitiveness- 10/10, look and feel- 10/10(even if it is plastic), support- 10/10, features- 10/10, camera- aced it, UI- brilliantly beautiful, vibrant, overall in love- 100%"

Only reason why i rated at 4/5 for performance is because of battery life. Lasts me one entire day of using continuously for hours but must recharge daily.

Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, powerhouse
Cons: battery life

"great phone fast. reliable ,durable , light weight . excellent screen display , unmatched performance ,worth the money the only problem that i have is the quality of the materials used. it feels cheap and inexpensive. samsung needs to take a page from the Apple rule book and start making there products of a higher grade material for example aluminum like apple uses in the products and like the iphone (which S2 beats it in every way) needs to be made of aluminum and glass"
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, fast, picture quality, camera, video recording
Cons: Poor quality, Not high def, feels cheap

excellent phone, if you can afford the price tag

"This is definitely the most powerful phone for 2011 and maybe early 2012. The processing speed and power is unmatched with iOS or other android phones. the graphics is excellent, and the internet connection (both internet; mobile apps, games, and file uploads) are just so quick! its built-in Kies air is easy to use.
Perhaps two things that Samsung could improve (apart from usual hardware upgrade and battery life) would be:
(1) Call volumes. It is on the soft side, but you can't put it to max unless you want other people to hear what the other person is saying.
(2) materials used - I must admit, the back cover feels cheap esp. after you put the battery in it. I ordered a good quality full-body phone case just to protect the phone from being broken into pieces."
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color
Cons: soft call volume

I do not have the money to replace the screen or buy a new phone. Overall it is a very good phone. The only problem I have with it is how durable it is."

Amazing right up to the battery

PostedFebruary 18, 2012
I would recommend this to a friend!
"I've had my new s2 for just over a week now and so far I love it. I was worried the first day when the battery dropped to 39% my first day out but after a few overnight charges and playing with it I'm usually just below 50% battery life. Since the first 3 days all I did was carry it around I was worried but now that I'm starting to use it a little the battery doesn't seem to care if your using the phone or not. I'm loving android and bought this instad of an iPhone4s after owning an iPad2 because I find iOS infuriating. I have only two issues 1) why does the camera occasionally give me an error about being unable to launch sometimes and 2) while I like how light it is that doesn't help me if it's dead. I'd rather a little more weight and be able to keep wifi/NFC/bluetooth on.
My previous phone was a rugby2 and I like only having to charge it every 3 days if I keep my mouth shut, don't go to far from the charger with the s2.

"I like this phone - it has a great HD screen, nice for watching videos. It worked very well with Android 2.3 but since upgrading to Android 4.0 there have been some bugs. For example, apps (including the phone App!!) will freeze and become non-responsive a lot, and I can no longer play videos. With the original operating system, the phone was marvellous though!"

Hit and Miss

PostedFebruary 14, 2013
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
"I have 2 S II LTE phones with Rogers. The hardware is good, I used to abuse my Rugby so I was slow to adopt smartphones especially seeing all the broken Apple screens at the office but between the better quality and my Otter Box (<1 Year and my Defender OtterBox Is destroyed) my S II is doing well with only minor scratches. Software however is a different story, Both phones came with Gingerbread and both suffered from random antenna disconnecting (WiFi, BlueTooth, Cellular) where it would loose signal and not come back until the phone was rebooted. Especially annoying was that the PHONE app would crash once or twice a day, mostly on outgoing calls. I also had the fairy common issue of the camera failing to launch requiring a reboot once or twice a day. I sent one of my phones back to Rogers and they fixed it by upgrading to ICS. I helped with some issues but the UI lags so much now it's almost comical. When at the messages screen it takes 2-3 seconds for the screen to rotate and the keyboard to scale appropriately. Rogers is no help so I've rooted both phones and removed all the Rogers bloatware, probably going to look at different roms soon."
Pros: Durable
Cons: operating system problems

A great phone, as long as you don't want or need to connect it to your computer

PostedApril 2, 2012
I would recommend this to a friend!
"It is a great phone, but I am about to throw it out the window or ask for my money back so I can buy an iPhone. I tried for an hour to get it to connect to USB, and finally got it to work, after which I tried the Kies program. To my surprise, it worked!
However, the next day-nothing. Absolutely nothing.
It is absurd that such a good phone could be so difficult to connect to a computer.

Very Fragile phone!!!! I ever had!

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
"I just RENEWED my contract and got this phone about a month ago. Unfortunately, my phone got cracked from the inside just after the period of two weeks I could return my phone has been expired. The phone has been cracked from the inside automatically. Nothing wrong what I did ! I called rogers and talked to the rogers branch. I told them it looked like damage but nothing what I did. Maybe I just talk to them too softly. They keep telling me it is from the physical damage. I had no idea how the phone got cracked from the INSIDE. I was very happy about the phone until it got cracked from the inside. If the damage happened to the phone from my end, how come there is no damage OUTSIDE? who is going to explain? If the samsung phone is that fragile, how do we carry around this phone regular basis? I would say DO NOT BUY SAMSUNG PHONE EVER SINCE IT WILL BE CRACKED. I just don't get how easily the high-tech phone can be cracked! I have 3 year contract left and am very devastated. I thought samsung makes really good phones and that is how I chose your phone. If the rogers cannot help me, I think you guys should help me to understand this better!"
