Well actually both my wife and I own one! We both just got very good deals from our ISP here in the UK, Virgin Media, and we are both loving the S2!

- A few questions
After updating to 2.3.4 in the early hours of this morning, I'm now eagerly awaiting 2.3.5. I'm not planning to root as I want my warranty but I did notice something "odd".

I got this on Virgin Mobile here in the UK and yet my model is the GT-I9100LKAXEU. Which, if I have researched correctly, means "the rest of Europe". Is this something to be concerned about as I noticed there are many other UK models - surely it should be a UK model? Wont this delay update rollouts? I also believe this means my phone came Factory Unlocked. Is this correct?

- Jumping back to Android
I've used an HTC Desire S before and I sold it because I just didn't like it. After researching long and hard I took the plunge again to Android and I must say - with the new Marketplace and Samsung's wrapper on the OS, I love it!

Many of the games that wasn't on the OS now is and I managed to convince my wife to get the S2 and not the new iPhone 4S and she is over the moon with it.

Thanks for taking the time to read my post.
