[Zonda]

Wont be needing this for chatting .. so the minutes isnt a problem.. would like to know what you guys think about this deal?

Sounds a bit cheap to me? but I like Orange.. always stayed with them and had no worries.

Galaxy S II, meh, bit out dated now really.

 

[Zonda]

lol.. thats cool with me.. but just wondered as a general non techno wizard like myself.. is it still worth buying?

I got an S2 a couple of months back when the S3 had just been released. Could have got the S3, but its huge IMO, looks daft when being used as a 'phone' too. Not had a problem with it, prefer it over the iPhone4 I have for work now to be honest, coming from having iPhones for the past 4 years.

24 month contract on a phone that's a year out of date. That doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

Cheers, that's what I was thinking.. I wanted a decent phone but I'm not a phonoholic and needing the latest tech, hearing its still up there and holding its own sounds good.

Did you know the new iPhone 5 is on general sale next Friday? :clown:

It's not a bad deal tbh £372 over 2 years, phones worth £200 recycled or maybe £250 on ebay? Works out your paying £5 a month if you take into consideration the phone value. Then again it's already been out 18 months ish.

 

[jenic]

My dad did it, tesco are offering the deal instore.

It's a bargain imo, it's a good phone, and it's a cheap contract. Nothing comes close for the money.

S2? Not a chance.

Plus it's old and no longer going to get any updates. You can probably get an S3 for not a lot more.

Plenty offering over £200

Thanks, had a look on ebay... practically new phone in white boxed with screen protector still on (white looks different.. always had black) £230 delivered.

I really like the S2.. better than the S3 (looks too big) after looking in the Orange shop.

I hear you... but I'm not really a big phone geek... just wanted a decent all round phone that runs smooth with a decent camera and good for web browsing... looks cool and nice to use.

I'm sure I'll enjoy using it.. after visiting the shop.. there was hardly any difference apart from the voice activation thing and the bigger screen.. S3 looks nice but was a bit big and rounded for me, but I'll try this out for a while.

Hang on.

Are you selling the S2 now? This prices now aren't relevant for 2 years down the line.

S2 is getting Jelly Bean

 

[Zonda]

S2 is getting Jelly Bean

I dont get that? sorry?

 

[Addicted]

Jelly Bean is the latest Android version, aka jenic was saying it will get updates!

I didnt go for it.. so not locked into a 24 month contract.

Oh thats cool... pleased to hear that.. thanks!

 

[Revels]

LOL! You think? It's been out 4 months and it's not made it to the S3 yet.

Brand86 (Tom) has an S2 and he's still not even got ICS.

What? My S3 came with JB...

 

[Revels]

The later ones do. The first ones didn't.

I'd say 10% of the S3 variants have JB.

My dads is running ICS from the box, I'm sure Samsung said the 2 would get jelly bean before the end of the year around the time my dad ordered his.

This is true - think I can get it via Kies, if Kies wasn't so god damn awful. In fact Kies is the one thing that would ever make me switch to an iPhone or back to HTC.

 

[bright]

Also have ICS here on my S2.

Funny thing is I had to google what version I had

So what benefits does JB have over ICS?
Sorry for off topic OP! You won't be dissapointed with the S2, been great for me for a year, still have another year left though. Heh.

Just received mine this morning.. kudos to the guy who sold it to me.. everything's sealed and wrapped as new not a mark on it.. my heads still spinning from last night to have the energy to try it out yet but it does looks great.
