Question No NFC for UK?

So theres no NFC for the uk version?

And apparently present in the Korean version when released?

Anyone know about versions in other regions?

Yeah, our korea Galaxy S2 will be released today or tomorrow. (It's KST - GMT +09 time)

Perfectly Korean version include NFC function.
But, korean version S2 too many localised to Korea
(like non-standard mms spec, smaller frequencies support than EU version,many bloat ware...ETC)

detail symptom is refer that my link.

It was apparently to keep the device as thin as possible. Some GS2's outside of the UK, the US and east asia will also be running on Tegra 2 and SLCD.

It's a 1.2 GHz Exynos now, not 1 GHz.

Is there any info for NFC for any other region?

I'd love to play with an exynos... but I much rather having one that has NFC considering I have the atrix... so the performance on exynos over tegra isnt that important but I'd love to experiment with nfc...

Also is the mms + sms difference in the korean version hardware or software?

As it has an unlocked bootloader, if its just software then I wont worry too much XD

MMS spec is perfectly different.
Most of GSM carrier use OMA-MMS. but korea SKTelecom use theris own SK-MMS spec. Framework layer and application layer are PERFECTLY different.
If only application problem, you will replace another sms application (like handcent) but, framework problem is critical issue. If you fixed this problem, you will modify GS2 SMS/MMS framework. may be impossible.

And our Korea galaxy S1 can't buff from XDA. because not global model its korea localised model.
I think GS2 may be same..

So I recommend that buy your region's i9100 model or wait a SG2 later model.(like SG3?!)

So it will be unlikely that the korean version's software can be replaced with the international version then?

Sigh... Thats unfortunate then
