I am considering buying this phone in the next few days..
Do you recommend it, as a user, or should I look for a better one??
Please rate it /10..
Also, have JB 4.1.1 arrived yet on the i9300?
This phone attract so much attention and there are tons on reviews and comparisons. Isn't that enough to help you decide whether you should buy it?

I thought I might get more information from biased users..
Most reviews tend to favor a brand over another..
Anyway, I just wanted to know more from actual daily users
Read the reviews, make up own mind.
There have been several threads asking the exact same question.
reading all the other multiple should i buy this SGS3 posts may help .

I read reviews and I know its a great phone..
I want to know your opinion..thats it
I had an iphone 4s and thought very hard about this phone, worried only by its size, and is it to big? I swapped and glad I did. Iphone screen seems tiny now and this is not big at all. I feel free from being in Apples chains

Should you? I don't know.
Should you want a nice looking phone with a tad plastic-ish feeling and with good specifications, then yes; I recommend it.

It's just JJ.
there is no The Best phone out there. so your question to should i get a better phone is not valid.
each phone has its strengths and wow factors. so you must decide on your priorities.
Don't look for the 'best phone', find out what's best for you.
I personally like it. I do have gripes (build quality, touchwiz) but it's overall a great phone.

Hi just got s2 today exchanged desire HD. Going to root on Monday but noticed there are 3 development areas for this phone how do I know which one is for my phone?
Thanks, PS while I'm here which ROM is recommended and why
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
Regarding which rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1612881
As for the 3 development. Check about phone under settings. Make sure you have the i9100 instead of the i9100G. If you have the i9100G, there is only 1 development section.
If you have the i9100, just check out the other 2 development sections.

Put it this way mate...
His answer is actually right. Your usage pattern, mine, and his are unlikely to be the same. Taste as well. Therefore best ROM discussion is a moot point.
On different sub forum, he mentioned that you should take precautions differentiating I9100 and I9100G. If you need additional explanation, please read the sticky thread in the Original Dev sub-forum stating the difference.
My last note, don't write anything when you're emotional. It will just backfire.
Note to OP - acting like a **** won't get you the help/info you're after. On the contrary, I'd be surprised if you get much help after that. Kaze asked a valid question.
The 3 development sections have nothing to do with anything re: rooting your phone (or anything else for that matter).
You need to start with something easy by the looks of things, might want to read the Stickies. No roms are recommended. Asking for rom recommendations is the height of laziness. Try a bunch of roms out until you find one you like the same as everyone else.

Note to you, sell your S2 and get a iPhone or Nokia 3310.
When your new to a forum or should I say a part of a forum your there looking for help. I.e. the whole point of a forum.
I know that trying roms out is a personal preference but it is quite nice to have a couple of opinions to start out but hey that was clearly too hard to do.
This is meant to be a question and answers area so asking questions is what is meant to happen. What is the point in having a forum if no one is wiling to have a discussion about things.
Only seen this kind of attitude in certain places, quite sad really
Btw thanks pl4sma for a decent response

Yes but you miss the point. This question has already been asked a million times over, no need for another topic, go read the ones already created. This is specifically why mods have created sticky topic telling you not to ask this question and why the user who you *****ed about gave you the link.

Plenty of discussions going on.
well put it this way I just read the thread pl4sma told me to read and I'm still not really much clearer why there are 2 sub forums in development area, and by the looks of it I'm not the only one confused so that is a valid question.
The second part I was simply asking for opinions rather than flashing consistently to find what I want. I find as you use the phone you realise which bits are best and change ROM based on that, when you initially start using you don't really know which one to try so it is nice to get opinions and maybe base your first try on what others think.
You have to remember that everyone starts out new and its over time you work things out. Doesn't mean people should be flamed instantly. Search doesn't always give desired results.
Plus if people don't want to answer things over and over then surely they can simply choose not to respond

One is original development the other uses bits and pieces from other devs to build the roms . How to tell as usual its in the stickies .

The what is best rom is banned due to the thousands of exact same posts and the fact that users and their needs are different .
The what is the simplest rom for me to start learning how to flash SGS2 is an acceptable type of question .

No but you normal read the rules followed by the stickies faqs and guides first .
Plus it was you that started the bad behaviour with your reply to the first valid answer you received .
Plus if people don't want to answer things over and over then surely they can simply choose not to respond
Its the ones who refuse to read and ask the same stuff over and over that dont really belong as they just take .

Thanks for another decent reply, I understand the differences now and is really all that was needed. As you can see from the original question the ROM part was at the end but having a start point would have been nice.
problem I had with first reply is they probably took more time to find the link they did then it would of taken to answer the question.
This discussion would have ended there and then, but instead giving such an unhelpful response caused all of this.
Lessons to be learned by all I think.

This question has been asked more times on here than I've had hot dinners over the past 6 mths. A Google search would have revealed a bunch of threads asking this same question/relating to this.
We get sick of this nonsense. We (not unreasonably) expect someone who has made 500+ posts & spent a bit of time here to have a bit of a clue when it comes to this kind of thing. But nope, time and again we get crap threads like this.
That why you see responses like that.

Pebble blue, 32/64GB .. that's it.
The phone is amazing, no issues so far.
This is my best phone ever! Always had SonyEricsson and I'm glad I chose the S3! I tried other ROMS, but I like the stock rom from Samsung more
Build quality is okay, it's plastic, but it is well-built and with a bumper I only feel bumper and screen. I dropped out once from like 1,5mtrs got some little damage on the corners, but I can't see them with my bumper, so they don't exist.
But if I could choose now, I would have a look @ the note 2, because that's an S3+

Hi guys,
I sold my S2 because the screen was broken but now I'm thinking about buy another one.
My doubt is, should I buy another SII or instead go for the Gnexus?
SII - > 250€
Galaxy Nexus -> 275€
Both are new phones and I have the chance to buy for a great price.
I know many of you will say "go for Nexus 4" but it isn't coming to Portugal soon and I need a phone ASAP (nexus 4 is out of stock 4 life).
I know pros and cons of both, but they look very similar and my kind of use fits the both.
My question is, with these prices, which phone would you go?
I have s2 but i'm for gnexus, why? because of larger hd screen, opensource everything, ... I buyd s2 because it was cheaper than gnex and have better graphics card oh, also, i don't like gnex because of not having memory card slot
Thanks !
I would like to have more replys!

Well thread locked. I usually don't like these threads as it leads to, you guessed it flaming. If you ask in device forums obviously your answers will be skewed. You should never buy a device because of "he say she say" specially from a forum. The specs are more than available, the frustrations of the devices are as well.
