All stores, COR or Indirect, cannot sell this phone, or any phone, until its designated release date. Its a big nono.

Even Engadget, with their notorious bias to Apple gave it a ridiculous review. Their only con was that build quality could be better, but I'd prefer a plastic phone anyway.

Sure it's plastic but it is very sturdy. That's why it's so light. I hate it when some of them talk about how flimsy the battery cover is, but you can bend the sucker top to bottom and it still retains it shape with no stress. Some of the reviews don't know what they are talking about. I take all reviews with a grain of salt. Same for benchmarks.

I stopped buy my best buy today and the guy told me they got their shipment of phones in, but he couldn't sell today, the same as my local ATT store.

I also stopped into two stores and received the same bad news! Tried to tell the guy that it was Sunday in Australia but wouldn't go for it. He hid say they had allot of S2's though.

Sure takes a long time to charge this battery up. IT is a 150 mahs bigger, perhaps the charger is a different voltage, not really sure, i left my home charger at home and just using some other micro usb charger here at work.

I don't think I would ever hear myself saying this but this touch wiz on this phone is really cool. I've been running cm7 and miui on my captivate and other various androids. But this OS is freakin' sweet, who would of thought that touchwiz would be so damn nice! This pwns the SGS touchwiz that's for sure and still pwns the **** out of the infuse's as well. This you guys is really polished, besides the lock screen bug but i could give a sh!t about that to be honest. I wish cm7 would incorporate some of these features, Cm7 seems kinda dated now, not putting it down, i still love CM7 don't get me wrong. But the polish on this is much nicer.... Wait till you see it, you will understand. Tilt to zoom while browsing. ON the desktop if you hold an icon as if you are going to move it to the next screen, all you have to do is hold it and tilt the phone to the right or left and the screen will rotate for you, freakin' sweet. Plus when you want to move your icons around it gives you a break down of your grid. Small things like that make this UI overlay nice!

Plastic gives you better reception. You can get a case if you like too.
