ajh94 used to be indecisive... now he's not so sure!

The SGSII will come with Gingerbread and, if things follow their normal course, the custom ROM's will be out first (within weeks) for ICS followed, some time later (months), for the regional, unbranded handsets and finally for the operator branded handsets (3-6 months (if at all)).

For something of the magnitude of Gingerbread to ICS, I would expect it to be done via Kies (Samsung PC Suite) for official releases. For the custom ROM's it will be done either via Odin or CWM.

I upgraded from a desire and I haven't regretted my decision for a second even with the announcement of the galaxy nexus...seriously you won't regret buying it, but why not go and have a play with it just to be sure?

I dithered over it just like you, but if I'd played with it it would've made my decision very easy!

hehe i want to het the s2 but i love the screen size and res of the nexus, so hard to choose lol. i can upgrade very soon to the s2, 600mins, unlimited texts, 1GB data and unlim wifi for £36 a month? should i do it, so i have the s2 now, then buy a sim free s3 when its out or should i buy a sim free s2 now then take the s3 as my upgrade :/ - so many choices lol i just havent a clue

Riche101

Thats a good deal do its and wait a month or 2 if u really want to get the S3 so soon get a basic support base on it

ajh94

okay so should i take that deal now with a free S2 then buy the s3 soon after its out sim free? or buy a s2 now take that deal in 6 months with a s3? should i just take that now with the s2?

Riche101

Which ever you prefer just close ur eyes n play pin the tail on the price plan


Just get it lol

matttye

Only you can answer any of these questions mate... there's no guarantee there will even be an S3 and, if there is, that you will actually want it (might be much better phones out by then).

Plus nobody can tell you which price plan to get

Play with an S2 and a Nexus, decide which you prefer, pick a price plan that suits... BOOM. done.
