I really want to join this group but short of funds:(:(

More importantly , for me, I am sceptical whether I'll be comfortable with the phone for one handed use.

A bit too wide for me.. 4" would have been awesome..

Guess, I'll wait for SGS III :( ( Or equivalent on 28 nm process)

When I purchased Omnia HD three years back I also felt it's huge but gradually got used with it. Same happened with GS II, now after a month of use I am comfortable. Besides my hands are small.

***UPDATE***

Great news for GS II owners, GB 2.3.4, XXKG1 is out, it's available on Samfirmware. You can download and install it via Odin. Installing it might void your warranty, so do at your own risk. For me, I will wait for the Indian version to release.

Great . Leaked or official?

The problem is, I tend to use phone one handed quite frequently. With the bigger phones, accessing the top of the phone , would be quite difficult. GSII is SE Arc's form factor would have been awesome! But, you can't have everything..

After using SGS for almost 1 year, I have grown to like a few of Samsung's physical customisations (For eg. bigger home button, lack of search button, press home button to power on and would hate to go to the 4-key combination...)..

And in SGS 2, I really liked the rotation animation, and the works. Browser was really good.

Has anyone tried this. Am on 2.3.4

Battery Saving Tips:
Disable Fast Dormancy:
1: Dial *#9900#
2: Press Disable Fast Dormancy
3: Press Exit
Disable Samsung App Notifications:
Settings > Applications > Samsung Apps
Tick Off

Its been 10 hrs and only 15% of my battery is used with wifi always on and some work done and calls.

Well I've read it on XDA. But I really don't know what this Fast Dormancy stuff is and if any Indian network support this or not. I've also tried disabling it but can't say for sure that if it helped to save any battery or not.
But one thing is sure, if you wanna get more outta your battery, just install Advanced Task Killer aka ATK. Its doing a fantastic job on my phone to save battery.

Task killer are a STRICT no on Android! They do more harm than good!

I updated the fone to the latest firmware on Friday. The first immediate difference I noticed that it is not heating up to the earlier levels. In fact, it is a lot better than before. But I hate that they've removed the messaging skins. Anyone knows how to get them back?
