This phone can completely work as a laptop replacement.
For everyone? No, there will always be things that don't work for some people, missing features, sacrifices etc.
But for me? Well... yeah. I had a bluetooth keyboard and trackpad from like, 3 tablets ago. Seriously, that keyboard is going on 4 years old now (the majority of that time spent gathering dust in a draw, if I'm honest). Upon stumbling upon it, however, I thought I'd give it a go. My Note 10+ has a kickstand case so now was the perfect time to test it out. I connected everything up, sat down at my coffee table, and poked around.
My first test was copying a whole bunch of stuff from a PDF into my Fifth Edition Fight Club app. That is to say, reading text from one screen and typing it into another. CTL+C and CTL+V worked when copying other text from discord or Word. The side by side windows were brilliant (the one annoyance was when I started typing, not realising I had the wrong window in focus).
Normally I have YouTube playing random videos in the background when I'm doing stuff like this, so I had some Doctor Who playing in my video player in a floating window for a little while as well. Ended up switching to Play Music after a little while, however, because I found I kept moving the window around. The addition of the pen for navigating the tiny screen was actually perfect though. The trackpad was... ordinary (but again, 4 year old keyboard, I'm honestly surprised it worked at all)
Sure, the screen is small, but I had an EEE PC 701SD back in the day. I live for tiny computing.
Final thoughts? I wouldn't use this in the house while my Razer laptop and its second monitor are two rooms away, but to catch up on stuff while I'm away from the house, it actually works AMAZINGLY well, even without on-device Dex.
Kudos, Samsung.
After a while, I prefer to use it when it is in portrait mode. Especially when switching between browser, WhatsApp and telegram. Portrait feels better

Well i woke up and drove out to sprint way earlier today.
I have to admit, i did give a split thought to the evo3d because they got the 2.3.4 update. But no way could it make everything perfect in that ota. So i went with my original choice.
This phone is sexy. It is really fast... doing side by side actions with the epic on gb, the photon was twice as fast if not more in some areas.
Pure computing power this phone noticeably crushes my epic.
Not once was i frustrated an app didnt open instantly, how
I wanted my epic experience to be.
The fone is growing on me and i love it more the longer i have it.
I love the MOTOBLUR. Great balance between pure google and overlay ui. Very cool experience you cant find with any other oem ui.
Like the extensive integration with social networks.
I love how the stock music player does the lyrics, that was a surprise today. And many other cool things but i have to cut this short. But i have to mention, the screens on the display units are not the same on our consumer handsets. It looked complete trash on the demo, but my fone screen is amazing.. no screen issues at all. I did have call bug very first call. Remove sim and im good.
And lastly, i understand about you guys saying youre not eorried about the Galaxy anymore. I may keep this.
Something about pulling up gps status and getting INSTANT 9 of 9 sats inside the appartment with zero error that makes me feel all warm and goey inside

Very cool you got u one of these Mo-Phos... I think you'll like it.
I'm still on the fence as to whether i'm going to perma-keep mines.. lol
when the GS2 comes out, I'll play with it for sure, but if it has crippled GPS/bluetooth, I'll just stick w/ moto this time.
Already posted somewhere in the end of a long thread but thought it needed a post of its' own.

P.s. My 2 cents on the whole matter, I think HC was rushed in order to launch with crappy drivers etc. Fingers crossed for ICS!
Cheers!
Well, I see stereo speakers.
Looks like they had to break the bottom inside to open the tablet. Look there on the botton.

There are four black holders each held in by a single screw. I don't know how you would open it without breaking it.

Sounded too spacial to me to not have something going on...
>There are four black holders each held in by a single screw. I don't know how you would open it without breaking it.
Looks like the two (not four) slider clips are designed to break off the mushroom heads upon opening, which would be for anti-tempering. Assuming they aren't screwed down tight, I suppose you can slip in a small pick to push the clips to the right to disengage.
Anyway, you don't actually need them. The text says the bottom is held together by adhesive. The plastic clips on the top & sides are sturdy enough to hold the halves, as long as the bottom doesn't move around.
Would be nice to see a complete disassembly to see how it's assembled. Although the problem with complete teardowns is that it's usually a one-way street.
Gak, just noticed the dual speakers were CLEARLY mentioned already. Yeesh.
Because I'm a geek and love to keep documentation of my devices, I have created a PDF file of this article with all the pictures as well.

Hey everyone, got my white galaxy S2, about 3 days ago, and im already having some issues.
Issue #1, the chrome part thats on the perimeter is peeling/chipping. I have 2 spots where this is occuring, both are near the home button where i guess my fingers rub the most. I had a Black S2 before, never noticed that....well maybe because i couldnt see it on black You can barely see it on the 2nd picture in the bottom left corner. Also, around my volume button and power button, the chrome seems SOOO poorly crafted. Its hard to see on the picture, but it looks a lot worse in real life. I wouldnt complain if i had the phone for at least a few months, but after only 3 days? Bought my phone on Kijiji, and it was sealed at the back so i doubt it was used before, unless the seller did an amazing job at restoring his phone to be brand new.
Issue #2, LAGZORZ!! I rooted and unlocked the phone, got RevoHD ROM which ran without ANY lag on my old black S2 and i always used TW4 because thats the only launcher where i had no lag whats so ever. TW is plain but the simpler the better Now thought...i get minor lag in my app drawer and when i scroll screens. Homescreen is crowded with active widgets like youtube and And.Market, now i know its putting a lot of stress on the phone, but i didnt get any of that with my black S2.
Tried RevoHD and LeoMar75 ROMS, tried different kernels, different governors, clock speeds, and i still cant get the same result as i had on my old phone. Experimented with Siyah @ 1600 but kept getting boot loops (this never happened on my old phone).
Anyone else having any problems such as mine with their white S2's?

I don't have the lagging issues, but my silver bezel is peeling off. A lot. Looks like crap really. I've ordered a bumper though to hide it, so at least it shouldn't get any worse.
I've turned it on, but have only seen the eye icon pop up a couple of times. Seems to time out still.
I haven't had much luck with it...I disabled it after about a day of trying it out.

I have had no luck with it in many different lighting situations : /
Maybe it doesn't like my glasses or something...
Seems to be more of a novelty, it works sometimes, but I think it has to be directly in front of you.
I have this smart stay on since I had the phone and never seen it work oh and I had the S3 since 6-21-12

I just did another test with really good lighting for 5 minutes with a 30 second timeout and it did say on the whole time. I made sure to keep the phone still and be looking at it the whole time. I guess it can work, but under real life situations maybe it's not perfected yet...
It's worked flawlessly for me so far, even in relatively dim lighting. The eye ball icon should only turn on every X seconds (where X is the the timeout you set for the screen under settings). If your eyes are on the screen when the eye ball icon appears, the screen won't timeout.
After some testing, I've come to this conclusion about smart stay.
I put the timeout to 15 seconds so I wouldn't have to wait long for each test. After 10 seconds, I saw the eye icon appear, and then on the 15th second, it would appear again. The screen would only stay on if I looked directly at the front facing camera on the 2nd eye icon.
I tested it multiple times, just looking at the screen, looking at a website, reading a website and starring at the front facing camera. It only worked when I looked at the ffc when the eye icon appears. Other than that, it would just timeout like normal.
Has anybody else done any type of testing? This is a crappy feature if you have to stare at the ffc only when the icon appears to get it to work because if you might miss it if you're actually reading something on the screen.
Works well with me..

works fine here, actually, pretty well, my phone sits on my desk at work in a cradle at about the 10 o'clock position (my computer monitor being the 12 o'clock), i will open FB and leave it open, and smart stay works, while im looking at my computer monitor....i think it all depends on how well the software can differentiate your eye from the rest of your face, or if you wear glasses
Came up for the idea of a game I would like to be created. It would be called Oriecade a game that is tilting based and solely built on the inspiration of the orientation sensor. It would be a puzzle and arcade game. I figure hey there are a lot of apps on Android that are simple like 4 pics one song. THere for any game can become a hit easily. A random color indicator may be picked that you would have to move the ball to that direction. That or a more simpler direction such as left and right may appear. It registers a color or direction immediately when the ball hits the border of the circle. Time between moves would start slow, and get faster as the game progresses, until you are basically keeping the ball in constant motion (would get very fast). Which would get very challenging. Alternately, you could play timed rounds, and the idea would be to go as fast as possible to rack up as many points as you could. There are no patterns you would have to remember and also no ending sessions. Decided a standard 3 lives should be used since all basic games have them. That way it also gives more of a accomplishment when you get a higher score and it's more impressive. The score would be in increments of 10 since its easier to keep track of how many correct hits you get. It would save all your high scores as well as your initials beside them. In order too pause the game you would simply lay it down on a flat surface. Returning the ball to the middle. It would either be a game people could buy for 99 cents or for free. Either way I dont care about money hell take the idea as yours and make it then do with it as you please. I would be just really happy to finally play the app. Where could I get a developer to use my idea. I just thought it would make a simple wholesome clean little game to murder time with.

Not having coding experience is one thing, but you really should finish the game design before trying to find someone who can actually make it.
For instance, before coding the math has to be in order. (Basic rule of acceleration and its effect on ability to shift directions. Score calculation, etc)
How are you at graphic design?
Coders often aren't all that good at it, you can pretty much finish the whole GUI by yourself if you'd want.
Otherwise I'm sure there are some guys here that might appreciate your pitch and make something of it, but if not...
