I was on Virginmobileusa.com and they just put the price down of s2 to $ 230.99
I was just wondering if any one here bought it??

I would be so pissed if I bought an s2 for $329 a week ago.
I think the s2 is better in some regards, but I find it odd that the sale is only on the white model, and only until tomorrow.
Yes but the biggest problem is the lack of development for the Virgin mobile galaxy s2. Hopefully soon more developers will purchase and start hacking for them.
The Virgin Mobile site is only showing it for $279.00 this morning for the white model. I guess I missed the opportunity. It's only $50 off now. Is the Samsung really a better or faster phone than the EVO V 4G?
The camera of the s2 wasn't a selling point to me ether in fact it was the size of the screen. I remember when evo v came out I bought it because of the 3D n 4g , but honestly I would hardly even use 3D, I do get 4g in my area so that was the only big user difference from my previous phone (triumph). I mean I hate to leave my evo but I do want a big screen phone with good performance.. oh and I also bought it cuz of the one day sale for $230 I thought it was good time to buy it...
i have both phones my s2 is boost. they are both good pieces of hardware i love the feel of the evo in my hand a good solid feel. both phones are great performers the cameras are not a selling point for me. both take good pics to me. either one is a good choice. there is a lot of development for the s2 already done. dont limit yourself to vm development
The resolution is the biggest difference to me. And you can really see the difference owning an EVO V 4G and then looking at an S2
Is that a good or bad thing?
OLED screens do not have a backlight. They are basically thousands of tiny compounds that act like LEDs, so the pixels produce their own light. As a result, colors are not as washed out and blacks are truly black (because to show black, that part of the screen just turns off). Some people think they look over-saturated, which would just be personal preference I guess. I used to have a Zune HD with an OLED screen. It was low-res, but the colors were amazing.Does AMOLED have backlit black? If not, then the s2 likely produces a better black. Also, is it more energy efficient?
That's why they put "LED/LCD Combo" on the box now.Only slightly related rant:
I hate how TV manufacturers are calling some TVs "LED TVs," because this implies that the screen is using LEDs - they aren't. The backlight on those TVs are LEDs, but the screen itself is still good-'ol LCD. They do produce a much better picture than older flat screens (which used fluorescent backlights), but they really should be called "LED-backlit LCD TV." But I guess that many acronyms in one place gave the marketing department a seizure.
