Got mine! Super excited! I thought the Infuse was perfect but it started to suffer a little lag, think it was the Beautiful Widgets thing but whatever it was it was annoying.

Also, coming from the Infuse to this, I loved my screen, but this screen is actually perfect. I had a lot of typos with the Infuse because of my small, fat fingers just always hitting things, this is similar to typing on an iPhone. I can text without looking at the keyboard again, yay!

How much larger is the Infuse? Can you take a photo of the two of them copulating face to face?

Unfortunately, I exchanged the Infuse for the Galaxy S II. The Galaxy S II is 4.3 vs Infuse 4.52 and it's almost night and day IMO. The Galaxy S II just fits better to me and seems a lot more smaller. The Infuse kinda feels like a brick compared to the Galaxy S II, all wide and outside. Galaxy S II is feels a lot slimmer and extra thin compared to the already extra thin Infuse.

This is an even better tool to use. Gives you side by side visual size comparison of any phone against the sgsII :)
Thanks, that's pretty neat, but I'd still like to see them actually mated with each other because that would be more dimensional.

It's actually thinner than the Infuse? The Infuse was so thin to me that when I held it (I have large hands) it felt like holding a baseball card just before I flipped it. (I'm sure you're too young to remember flipping baseball cards! :) ) I had to put it in a case so I could get a good grip on it.

I'm still holding off to see & hold the T-Mobile version. I really want the larger screen.

OMG Love this phone

I've been waiting since Feb for this Phone. I was first in the store at 11am and the rep was like I don't think that goes on Sale till next week. I was like can you check. They had 10 in back. I mean come on. At&t employees should know more then the public. Just glad I got my butt there. I thought there was going to be a line. Nope turns out I was the only one to ask the whole hour I was in there. CRAZY!!! :eek:

Can't wait to ROOT..... I'm waiting till I know it works on an AT&T version. I need a easy tutorial tho, Still a noob here. I had help with my Infuse..... Loved my Infuse going to miss my 4.5 inch screen.

Good luck to everyone today. Hope you get your SGS2 :D

Yeah, I actually don't think people realize what a power house this phone is. Trust me, it will happen.

I love this phone, but having difficulty adjusting to the smaller screen size coming from Infuse..
My corporate store had 7 in stock. There were 5 people waiting for them to open to get one. I got the first one. They only had two left an hour later.

Yeah, Samsung only sent our store 5. What is that? It is all I could order. I tried to order 10, bricklaying the demand, but they said 5 was our number. Get ready for a back order situation and a waiting list.

I went to pick mine up from BB, but they said they only had two and they were both sold. :(

I went there a couple weeks ago to see the Samsung Galaxy 8.9 tablet, and bought one of the two they had.

I picked up the SG II at AT&T for $199, but wish I had known I could have gotten it cheaper at Walmart and Sam's Club. Should have checked here before running out the door this morning.

Just came home with my brand new SGS II. After having a debacle at BB, I finally talked some sense into them sales geeks! Looking forward to tinkering. I think I'll wait a bit until Root becomes more of a sure thing :)

Bought mine this afternoon while on the way to work. Had fun with it for about 20 minutes until I plugged it in. It then went black and intermittently flashed the battery charge screen. When unplugged, it rebooted. Even after taking everything out and reseating it, the problem repeated. So, back to the store I went for a replacement.

I am now enjoying my second GSII very much.

Same thing in Citrus Heights.
I was Watching Dark of the Moon (on my micro sdhc) it before he finally ditched his PC going manual via phone to complete the upgrade contract paperwork.

Wow!

OMG!

Freaking Wondefull!

Well, I returned my Thrill and picked up a SGSII this morning. I haven't rooted it yet but so far I am very impressed.

I gave up the pretty cool 3D functions but I gained a much better camera overall. I really had no complaints on the display of the Thrill, but obviously the SGSII has an amazing display.

The main reason I made the change is because of the software and battery issues I was having with the Thrill. The hardware was not an issue, in fact the hardware was outstanding in most respects.

I'm hoping I made the right decision and that I have better luck with battery life on the SGSII.
