:hmm: Well as long as I can get it somewhere I guess that's okay. I don't expect anything better to come to ATT before Jan 1 so I've been planning on the SGS2 for a while now. I'm not even in an HSPA+ area let alone LTE so the new phone is of little use to me. Playing mkvs is much more useful.

Close to a Target? I was there this AM and they had it for $99 on contract. Might be worth checking out to save a couple of bucks! Might be YMMV depending on the local market in your area.
 
The Sprint GSII is a piece with its constant ghosting LOS problem. Could only muster it for a week before calling them to return the phone.

That would be perfect if I was eligible for an upgrade, but last I checked I wasn't till the end of the year. 🙁
 
My wife as the sprint version and as far as I can tell, it does not have NFC. Not sure about the versions the other carriers use.

I didn't point of NFC because it is useless currently. The non-LTE AT&T SGS2 has it and only with extreme hacking does anything NFC work and no matter how much hacking Google Wallet doesn't work. I don't know what AT&T's plan was, but the phones now might as well not even have NFC.
 
I need to correct myself. I was wrong about the capabilities of the Skyrocket. I have been having an owner help me test it and with Dice Player it can take Blu Ray rips.
 
So, the tmobile has the biggest screen yet it is the slowest of the others. I was planning on getting this phone at the end of the month to replace my aging vibrant.

I know its the slowest but is it really noticeable? I dont game too much on my vibrant so its not really a factor. I assume the camera is as good as the other SGS2? Also, any FM radio? I really was pissed that the tmo sgs1 came crippled. I cant wait for the larger screen to as my eyesight is for shit.

the itnernational one has an FM radio. not sure why it would be absent on TMo or any other provider.

also, there were some browsermark benchmarks floating around showing that the TMO SGS2 outperformed, if only slightly, the "true" Exynos-based SGS2.

I imagine the real difference would be in gaming performance.

Search button not needed.
Press and hold the "menu" button for 1 second and you have search.

Having a physical "search" button is overrated.

So then how do you bring up the "recent apps" or "running apps" list? Which is what many users have the long-hold home doing right now.

You answered your own question.
Press and hold the "home" button for 1 second and you have both the "recent apps" and "running apps list".
