I am a new owner of a SII i777. $100 with a new contract, very good deal for me.
Its the best phone I've had so far. I like the screen size and resolution. I'm trying out new radios and pulling down 8mb/s so far on "4G".

I bought my wife a iPhone 4S, and I feel like I've seen everything its ever going to do...

you don't need LTE cause you're running ST.

Thanks Calical ... The point is that I am trying not to buy a phone that has no future , imagine I bought a non-LTE phone just 4 or 5 months before LTE kicks in in my city .. Would be kind of disappointed .. Only God can know , and it might never happens at least for a year from now ....

If I know I will be HAPPY for a YEAR with GS2 I777 ----> I will jump for it quickly...Otherwise , Skyrocket would be a better choice (even if ST doesn't offer LTE when it comes , might have ATT service if that happens)

Thanks

Don't buy a skyrocket. The processor is slow, and the development community will never be as active as the i777 community.

OP,

Beware. I read something about a guy using ST and his service getting deactivated. Something about using too much data. He said they also couldn't tell him how much was too much. The amount I remember wasn't even a huge amount; it might have been somewhere in the ballpark of 2 gigs or so.

i just bought the i777 yesterday or $350 like-new on eBay. I have been switching around phones a lot lately and find the S2 to have the best android camera available (INCLUDING THE ONE X). The Galaxy Nexus camera is just terrible compared to the S2. With CM9 on the S2, it's a no-brainer for me. It's a very good phone and a fantastic price on eBay anyway.

The Nexus is over $450 and the One X is around 650-700. The S3 will likely be around that price too until it's available on US networks, but think about how long it took last year and the year before? You'll be waiting until mid-summer at the earliest I would think and even then it would be really expensive.

Thanks(and thanks button too)

Yes I am aware of that...But to tell you the truth,peeple are exaggerating the issue ... I can never blame the company , some people think it is smart to dump their net subscription at home and tether data to hell .. Some stupid was happy he pulled 8 gigabytes of data and ST didn't contact him , and then he also asked for his friends and family to have windows updates from his tethered data from his phone ..That's ridiculus and if I was in charge of things at a wireless company I would do the same (dump this customer) ... because that's exactly "abnormal usage"...IMO data in a smartphone is for smartphones only

I think what it comes down to is, yes, you should buy a Galaxy S2. It's the best you can get for your money(assuming you don't want to spend $700), and it is relatively future-proof.

Check the xda marketplace for a good s2. Might find one cheaper then att store.

Think about it. Why would it ever be too late to get the best phone around? Something may come out better at some point, and probably will, but does that make the GS2 any worse? This is a great phone by any standard and will continue to be for a good while longer!
