Be honest the s2 is a great phone specification wise..is it worth it. It'd come down to build quality I think mate..eg HTC or samsung

the build quality for this phone is awesome, Along with the battery life

a full charge is about the same as any phone really, for me its about 2.5 hours (i always leave it a little extra once its reached 100%)

The phone is scratch resistant, But that doesnt mean its impossible to scratch, Just look after it, Dont drop it on purpose

Storage is a bummer for most people, For me its plenty I can always swap media from phone > PC >back to phone.. I dont need to carry my whole collection of media with me.. Plus the 25gb free dropbox is really cool.

All in all spec wise they are similar, The development is slow going at the moment for the One S (but its still not released worldwide) so it can be expected...

If you can afford the difference id say go for it..... If you have worked you balls off for ages and ages to find that difference in price needed, Id pass for now...

Hi azzledazzle, I know you have a grey one s for some time now. So you think the grey metal's quality is quite good so is the plastic parts? I am really tired waiting for the improvement of the MAO material on the black one so very likely to go for the grey one just these days.
So your answer will be really important for me thx!!

Hey man, Yeah ive had the grey one for almost a week now, I love it Its so sleek and really enhances the phone. The quality is awesome it has a rugged feel to it, It doesnt feel cheaply made.

I like the grey because it comes with a blue ring around the camera, which really looks cool. The only downside is its sooo smooth. it can be difficult to keep a firm grip on it..

I would choose the grey over black without a doubt. But thats your decision not mine

I think I'm going for the grey one to. I'm only a bit afraid to drop it if it's really that slippery. Is it still acceptable if you're careful or do you really need a case ?

i dont have a case and i havent dropped it yet...

the slippery(est) part is taking it from your pocket.. Once its in hand its not soo bad..

But a case certainly wouldnt be a bad thing.... Im looking for a clear one because i like the grey, i dont want to hide it with a case

It is very true that when taking out the phone from pocket, that's the moment you need to be careful. I tried the grey one in a shop and put the phone in my pocket, you need to be used to the slippery back when handling it.
