Is there a hardware difference between the white streaks and the originals?
I'm just wondering if there are going to be any issues with pulling data and updates from my old one to the new one.
No difference in the hardware, so you shouldn't have problems. The only difference I'm aware of is with the red Streak, which has a 32GB MicroSD instead of the 16GB that the Streak normally comes with.

I've been Googling around and some people describe the Hero that Orange are selling as black but it looks brown against some of the 'blacker' Heros on an image search.
In the UK the Orange branded Hero is graphite not black.
HTC offer AFAIK :
White - Unlocked, unbranded
Brown
Graphite - Orange UK only
Black
Pink
TBH, I've seen the black and brown ones in Carphone Warehouse, they don't look very good IMHO.
IS there a difference is specs betweens the T-mobile Hero and the Orange Hero, do one have better rom or something or a different chipset ?
Cheers James
Internal specs are the same.
The firmware is different with T-Mobile doing more customisation I believe. The core software though is the same.
Depends if you like the HTC look throughout or the T-Mobile one.
T-Mobile puts a big logo on the top of the touch screen which I hate. At least orange has the decency to put a small, inobtrusive logo on the rear case.

LOL, i was thinking that i thought atleast if the logo annoys me i can just change the back cover
The specs of both are the same. I don't know why people think the T-Mobile hero has had loads of customization done to it.
It's exactly the same as the standard HTC one and the Orange one. Only difference being that T-Mobile has a T-Mobile boot screen and some web n walk app that I've never used.
Searching for some ics info for the streak I came across this...is it real or fake????

As the date in that article states, this is rather old news:
The SPro is slated to launch in japan in janruary.
It will ship with 2.3.4 and should hopefully recieve ICS (depends on which company made the SPro, if it's quisda dont expect ICS quickly)
Unless dell states specifically what ver of android it will come with, this is just conjecture from other sites, 2.3.4 is a common version to build to for GB
2.3.3 is too old, 2.3.6/2.3.7 are too new; so it's either going to be 2.3.4 or 2.3.5. And i'm betting it's gonna be 2.3.4
It's 4.3" and is as closely related to the s5 as the venue, ie cousins.
Will it be like a second version or the streak...will it be worth it?

As it's gonna be import only unless you live in japan I cant say, importing imparts a large cost on top of the normal price.
It's a pretty common looking phone, it's basically a sensation XE but from dell and with stage 2.0. It could also be considered a Venue 2/Venue S as it's more aligned with that then the S5
Like with the S10 I would likely recommend against importing unless you absolutely must have it as there are many comparable devices. The S10 competes in china because it's 30% cheaper then others while having the same featureset, outside china not at all.
I cant imagine being able to import a SPro anywhere near the price of a comparable 4.3" phone
Nonetheless i'd like one for myself to hack, same reason I bought a S10.
Not for me
Screen smaller than FIVE inch is a 99% deal breaker for me.
Once at&t gets its head out of its collective you know what as to knocking the Galaxy Note off data as a "tablet only" device, that is the way I'm probably moving after the 1st of the year. Rumors report a at&t branded note, but it will be missing the home button, and have a qualcomm processor for LTE, which won't be available in my area until probably 2015 or later LOL.
Probably dumb question (sorry!): Is there any exterior difference between the various 'flavors' of S2?
I'm mostly interested in differences that would affect a dock/car dock or a case as I'm about to order some stuff from the UK (mobilefun.co.uk). Now that's for the i9100, and I've got the T-Mobile variant
I'd been assuming that all S2s were the same externally (just different radios, antennas, etc.) - but now I see separate car docks for the At&T model and the T-Mobile model. I'm hoping that that's just some sort of marketing deal Samsung has with those carriers, but I thought I'd better check before making a trans-Atlantic oops.
Thanks!
I ran into the same thing with carrier specific cases. I believe the AT&T version has the speaker on the right instead of the left. Not sure about the T-mobile. Maybe check pictures/360 view on their website. They should have pics of their model not generic Samsung pics.
Good luck.
You should look up the specs of the individual phones. The T-Mobile version is bigger than the ATT and i9100 versions. From what I can tell the i9100 and the ATT versions are the same dimensionally. I'm using that ATT home and car docks with my i9100.
Yes there are some differences, especially between international models and USA versions,
for example, i've noticed a certain american version (forgot which one) has a bigger screen,
also another american version (AT&T) the buttons at the bottom of the phone are different than the international version.
Other than the internal differences ofcourse.
cheers
I found the multiple pages inside samsung's us website for the versions going to the different carriers:
t-mobile version 5.11" x 2.71" x .37" weight 4.77 display 4.52"
at&t version 5.15" x 2.75" x .37" weight 4.66 display 4.50"
sprint version 5.11" x 2.74" x .38" weight 4.60 display 4.52"
The speakers are, indeed, in different places, and the t-mobile version back is quite different, covers the entire back, including the speaker, which is on the left, as you look directly at the back.
I also ended up with a 'near field' equipped battery, so I guess there's gear to drive that as well.
Glad I asked, as I'd have ordered the wrong case from the UK. Pity as I really wanted that flip-cover screen protector, as I hate looking through screen protectors, but not nearly as much of a pity as having the wrong case in hand and trying to figure if it was worth shipping it back to the UK for a refund.
Thanks everyone!
Pleases note, that this is the wrong forum for the T-mobile SGS2, this is the right forum section.
Just a fyi before you try to flash anything and brick your phone.
Thanks! I hadn't gotten that far (still reading up - and clearly was reading up on the wrong stuff).
Seems to be a generic tablet...Lenovo appears to have a nearly identical one as well. Not too worried about rooting it at this point--wife is thinking of buying one, and hopefully sticking her LG Revolution sim card into it (I'm dubious) ?
I can't deal with the missing bands on this phone. I have Mint Mobile and the internet is just simply too slow. Being military, I am always on base which makes it even worse. The phone is in like new condition as I bought it in February. 6gb ram and blue in color. Willing to trade for another android phone only.
