i'll be loving it too if i had it with me
5 more days!!!! such an agony waiting for 5 more days for it to arrive...

We really, really need more posts like this that highlight the good vibes about this phone. I've been reading through this forum and most everyone is just posting about problems they are having.
Monday is when my phone will arrive. I can't wait to see how it compares to my Sensation 4G!

As I just posted in the "Would you buy it again" thread, YES! I have had none of the problems some people are complaining of. Naturally, if you are having an issue, you are more likely to post about it, whereas if everything is running smoothly, you're too busy enjoying your new phone to post about it.

So far this phone is excellent. I just picked mine up today from T-Mobile and I'm loving every minute of it. No lag, super fast (both data and OS), very decent camera, GPS locks surprisingly fast, gorgeous large screen (minus the resolution which I don't really notice) etc. I would definitely recommend this phone. I am coming from the Sensation and I do not have the wifi death grip issue and 4g signal seems excellent.

+100 so true Devitek! all the complaints are gonna make this community smaller which i fear

We really haven't had a chance to test this phone out in action. I guarantee you it won't fail.

couldn't be happier. I busted the screen on my SG1 about a month ago (crack down the screen but still operational) and have been waiting patiently for this. Can't wait for root so that i can get rid of all the bloatware.

This is my second day with this phone and I honestly love it! The last phone I really enjoyed was the MYTOUCH 4g. I had the nexus 1 (cool phone), Samsung vibrant (Boooo bad Samsung and carrier support plus lag), then the MYTOUCH 4G ( best single core phone ever hands down!) than I tried windows 7 and got the HTC HD7 (very nice experience, now with mango it should be great) , than got the sensation 4G ( very disappointing experience considering it was my first dual core phone, laggy, returned 3 phones. Thanks to the devs my experience with it was good before I sold it) and now the T-mobile Galaxy SII ( best phone I've owned so far). This phone is awesome. I took it to my job today and let my coworkers play with it ( people who have no knowledge of specs usually give you honest opinions) everyone says the screen is incredible, the phone is big, it's very fast, it's light and thin, it feels cheap ect... Bottom line is this phone is awesome. The screen resolution is not a deal breaker at all it's not even pixelated. I'm glad they got rid of the pentile.

Im ocd and ALWAYS find something i dislike about every phone. The only thing i dont like...cant change the ugly ass lockscreen image
This phone is sweet and im loving the 10+ Mbps data speeds i get now. I havent had a single issue yet and havent put it down since i got it.

I use a lot of difference phones in my day to day and this SGS2 is my main device...I honestly think it is fantastic device.
It is fast, it feels like a solid piece of machine in your hand, it looks fantastic and all that jazz =) I am a happy camper

I have 10.5 hours of very heavy usage and just hit 15%. I love my phone!

I love my SGSII!! I can't wait to obtain root. LCD Density should be fun to mess with on this huge screen.

I agree this phone is by far the best android I have used to date. I have no complaints at all except for the wireless tethering not working without paying but that will ne settled quickly once we have root. This phone kicks a**

Hey new to Samsung completely...

I am getting a gs2 tomorrow for T-Mobile and was curious what are somethings about this phone to look forward to? They are sending me a replacement for my one s cause of too many problems that I have been having for the device and too many replacements sent out so that is the alternative that they are sending me. I know processor wise and camera wise it doesn't add up to the one s but what are some things that I can look forward to do with it and what are somethings that you guys would recommend doing out of the box?
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda premium

Right out of the box? I would say that rooting would be the best start While android is android, there are some vast differences, the TWUI is one of them. Most people don't like the TWUI (including myself), but I have found that there are quite a few that enjoy the tw ease of access and the fact that it was made to mimic the iOS interface. Speed and dependability are the biggest things with the Galaxy series. I like htc, but there are too many bugs in the system. The difference in the screen is very noticeable as well. I can rattle off features, but in reality it wouldn't matter if you don't use them. Play with it, have fun with it, and enjoy the ROMs that these amazing devs come up with on here Enjoy

im surprised you didn't argue for an s3

Went from the G2 to the GSII and was really happy with the switch. Previously I've had all HTC phones and was semi-reluctant to switch, but I'm a fan of other Samsung products so I went ahead. I think you'll be happy with it, as far as productivity its great, but definitely root it and maximize its full potential and get rid of all the bloatware.

Well I didn't care to get the s3 because I just needed a phone that would provide me with letting me receive phone calls I am a huge HTC fan but since their best phone the sensation they have went to quantity not quality and I had nothing but problems with the amaze and one s. I raised hell cause my job relies on my phone and I told them if I wanted a banging ass camera an a good mp3 player I would have bought a iPod an I have bought every new device they have released in the past two years. An I told them I wasn't paying for another device so they opted me with the gs2 an I took it. Is it easier to root the sg2?

Yeah I will be honest I'm not a fan of tw just looks blah an blank but I know how to use a launchers so that can be fixed. One thing I am a fan of is features an there aren't too many different from the one s compared to the sensation or amaze that wasnt fixed to compare after a little bit of rom flashing.

[Q] So do you guys like your GS3?

So do you guys like your gs3? Would you have gotten a different phone, given the chance?
Just curious if this is the one to get. Im coming from the Tmobile G2X.

Well? Do you?

Lol. I love my phone. Maybe would have gotten the note 2 only for the lte.

I like it a lot. It's the best phone I've owned. However, the Note II is looking mighty tempting since it supports LTE.

No buyers remorse here. Best phone I've ever owned by a mile... and is the perfect size. I will have it for a while

What is lte?

It's a good phone. I'm going to root it soon because in it's present state I feel that performance could be better and the gross amount of bloatware is incredibly annoying. I have used the speed test app and I'm T-Mo and managed to get a max of 27.80Mbps. Not to shabby. I did realize later that the size of the phone is quite big for my hands but the screen real estate makes up for it. I don't think I would have gotten anything else. Battery is great as well.

Yes. Absolutely i love my S3.

Im assuming you're kidding? Otherwise you would not be floating around the gs3 forum still?
If you are serious, what do you mean "didnt know whether you were coming or going"? What does that even mean lol?
and by mentioning the "htc one", im assuming you mean the "one S". So that being said, no removable storage card and no removable battery, doesnt that speak for itself? Good luck with that one, or did you overlook those two missing features?
If you are serious, can you explain why u chose the htc one s over the gs3?
To the other person, the note 2 looks nice but from what i was reading, it seems a little big.
And also, people keep mentioning the nexus. Is it better than the gs3 better?

I like it, overall pretty good. WiFi performance and Wi-Fi calling are very bad. If you are planning on using WiFi calling DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!

The s3 is light years ahead of the lg, that's a 2 year old phone that wasn't even that great to begin with. IMO the only other phone out right now to compare with the s3 is samsung's own Note2, but that's a giant phone and definitely not for everybody. If you wait a little longer LG's new superphone is around the corner but who know's when exactly it'll be released.

Hey Kid. I remember you from the G2x days. Night and day different experience. Everything just works. Screen quality, speed, size, features, everything is better. This is what the android experince should be.You will love gaming on the GS3.

I love it so much. I do have an issue with the battery running out quickly but I think I have a faulty battery. Not sure. Other than that it's the best phone I've had. I don't think there's anything better out there.
The only other phone i would consider is the new Nexus coming out simply for the updates. It still hasn't been announced tho but I'm sure it'll be a fantastic device on par with the S III

I think I'll wait for the S4 Mini. The screen is just a bit too large for me.

If your problem is only with large screen then go for it! Because when I bought my S3, my first thought in mind after unboxing was "seriously, why did I even buy this huge phone" (saw S3 first time). Now I don't regret having large screen and I love it now. I'm sure you will get used with it also and start loving the 5" 1920x1080p screen.

My co-worker has it, so I have had a chance to play with it already. It's not much bigger than the E4GT, but I want a phone where I can reach across with my thumb without having my palm activating stuffs on the edge of the screen.
The other reason is the E4GT just start working well enough after all these years, so I'll wait for more stable ROMs first

More stable? I think the ROMs coming out now fire this device are the most stable ones I have ever used, but I'm coming from the EVO Shift.

I'm waiting for the SG4 variant called the Active. Milspec, waterproof, etc. Other than that, I want a Note 2 (yeah, the pixel density isn't as high as the SG4 but whatever).

I don't understand people by saying can I buy this or wait
For what I'm waiting special at this time. I wish my contract could upgrade now. S4 and HTC one both phones are best why not to enjoy with this phone on time . instead of waiting unknown phone and date release come on falks wake up

I would assume the manufacture warranty would cover it but I'm not sure. Also, it's just my personal preference. I miss HTC and there build quality. The S4 is nice, I would upgrade to it if I wanted another Samsung.

I don't think so. Standard warranties are one year. If it's out of that year, I don't think they'll cover it.

If it last you another year, your upgrade is ready and you get a new phone. But who knows. Go with what you feel comfortable with.

I owned one at release before returning it a week later and recently for 3 months before switching to an HTC One. I already kinda answered a very similar question in another thread that explains why I switched, so check it out here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49656187&postcount=6
Let me know if you have any other questions.

I switched and like it better, wish I would have waited for the note 3 though.

Oh I guess I didn't mention battery life. It's actually quite good on this phone, and is actually better at lasting the day than my S4 used to be which was a pretty big surprise. I have no trouble getting through the whole day on moderate to heavy usage.

Had an S4 for four days... It just felt so cheap and the pictures weren't much better than my Rezound. I didn't like it's cheesy UI. It seemed like a kids toy. I even had it rooted but I just didn't like it. It felt too big in my hand... Etc.... The first five minutes I used the HTC One I knew it was the right phone. I didn't even care that the camera wasn't as good... It just feels so much better. It's just as fast and the UI was designed for adults!
And I agree on the battery life. Stellar. I am using the Rezound while HTC replaces my camera and it is killing me how fast it dies... The One just kept going and going...
