Is this phone an SGS II?

I just got this phone 2 days ago, it's t-mo branded, says Samsung galaxy S II Android 4g when it boots. Yet looking at some of the pics in this thread, my phone doesn't look like the ones depicted.
How do I tell which phone I have exactly?
Thanks.

This forum is for the international version which is different from the carrier versions, you can check in settings>about phone and it should tell you your exact model number, you can then google it to get more info about your specific device

Like the original Galaxy S, there's over 9000 different variations based on each carrier. This is the forum for the international S2

Well, instead of asking strangers, since it's a T-Mobile phone you could have gone here:
http://galaxy-s.t-mobile.com/samsun...zygt*VAygtzlw*VyBpAgf+mA55Byf*VyBpAgf+mA55Byf
Or, you could have put "Galaxy S II" in the nifty "find your device" box in the upper right hand corner of the forum. You'd have found this:

Thank you all. I'm not new around here, but again thank you for the information.

Your Tapatalk says you have the T-Mobile T989, which is a Galaxy S2 in name only. (It's a Samsung, it has a sAMOLED+ screen, but nothing else in that phone has anything in common with any other S2.)
There's a T989-specific forum if you go to the main XDA forum page and search the page for T989.

I got my phone through T-Mobile. Came via UPS.

T989 is T-Mobile version of the Gs2 family. your screen should be 4.5' instead of 4.3' and more rounded shape
Cheers,
Drew

And the T989 is the one variant I know of that doesn't have an Exynos - it has a Snapdragon CPU instead.

faster cpu but lower MP camera... also is the nexus coming out for tmobile? and when is it coming out??

Get the Galaxy S2 now (especially for 400) and sell it later on once the Tmobile Nexus comes out....

Get the SGS2. We are getting ICS soon and we have good devs here. Galaxy Nexus doesn't have external SD which is a deal breaker.

get the s2, the nexus isn't anything special just a overhyped s2 for Verizon plus the Tmobile compatible version might not even come to the US
if it does you can sell the s2 for 300 and just upgrade to the nexus if it's even worth it

WTT Sprint Galaxy S2 for Galaxy Nexus (GSM)

Sorry in advance if this post offends anyone I am not really sure where else to post it because I dont have access to the classified forum yet (not enough posts apparently).
Looking to trade new Sprint Epic Touch 4G (Galaxy S2)+cash for a GSM Galaxy Nexus.
If anyone is interested please let me know -- thanks!

good luck, I don't see anyone that would be willing to do a straight trade. But you never know

Galaxy S2 for a Nexus S? Do you mean a Galaxy Nexus?

i have no problems with the post but i highly doubt anyone would trade like that. u may be better off putting ur phone on ebay and getting one from there as well.

You should put this on xda marketplace.

You are looking to trade different network phones so it will be a tough trade. But you may get some interest in the marketplace depending on how much cash you will add.

Galaxy Nexus or Galaxy S III?

Hi, I want to buy a new phone and I'm choosing between the Galaxy Nexus and S III. Which one do you recommend? I like how the Nexus looks, and getting updates first. I like the specs in the S III but I'm not a big fan of how it looks and I definitely don't like the TouchWiz UI. Where I live there is not much difference in price. What would you recommend? Thanks in advance!

What carrier?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

S3 then sell it and buy a nexus and profit (if you are going on contract) i actually had achance to test the s3 and on 4.0.4 it seemed pretty descent ... you could go with the s3 for sure either phone will get huge amount of support and i guess s3 is more future proof on specs so up to you

If on Verizon get the Gnex. If on any other carrier the S3.

Unlocked phones. Where I live carriers do not sell locked phones.

Well only one has the new Jelly Bean.....

That was my reasoning. By the time the s3 gets jelly bean Google will have a new nexus device out with an update. If I was Verizon I would not be happy with googles timing of jellybeans release. Especially with them collaborating on the nexus

U wont need s3 godly hardware with our buttery super smooth JB powered nexus~

Get sgs3 since it is better hardware than nexus. You can change the software but not hardware.
Flash CM10 on sgs3 and you should be good.
I have a galaxy nexus because I bought the unlocked gsm for $350 which is a good deal and use it as a secondary phone

absolutely nothing is stable like stock, especially on phones which don't come with aosp natively ( i.e everything except nexus).

Can a modder do a dual-boot option?
If there is this option for the Galaxy S2 and S3 why it can't work with the Galaxy Nexus?
I'm sorry but I'm italian and I' don't write well

Boot Manager lite and there's a paid version as well. I've heard that it works but have never tried it personally. I looked at it this morning and it's still in the play store but am not sure it's being actively developed any more so be careful. I'm told it works but I'm not sure how well it would work with 4 2 roms though.

Yes, I know it but it isn't a very dual boot because the secondary rom is slow.
