    Official Pricing and Availability Thread

    Amazonwireless.com is selling the sgs2 for $149 for new customers and upgrades. My local Radio Shack has them for $199. My local Wal Mart does not have them in stock, and doesn't know when they'll get them. Local Costco also doesn't have any.

    Please Rename Samsung Attain forum

    Looks like the official announcement from AT&T keeps the "Galaxy S2" name. I'll leave it up to the mods to decide exactly how to keep the forums for the AT&T Galaxy S2 and the T-Mobile Galaxy S2 (and the International Galaxy S2) separate, but I think it's time to rename the forum. Thanks!

    Root HOWTO: Flash latest leaked Gingerbread

    Is Froyo not working for you? The latest leaked official Gingerbread (KH3) is working pretty well. This procedure will get you on a stock non-rooted Gingerbread ROM with the least amount of trouble. I've done this several times now on several different Captivates. ** Please heed all...

    Tips and Tricks I learned the hard way today.

    I picked up the Thrill today at Costco for $29.99. Not a bad phone. It's growing on me. It's MUCH heavier than the captivate. Not much thicker, surprisingly, but still bigger. 1) The "SuperOneClick" rooting method found found in this thread at XDA does work, and it offers an unroot also...

    Battery Life

    Hoo boy, I brought the Captivate to work and I've been playing with it all day and showing it to people (including recording and playing back lots of HD videos) and my poor battery just hit 15%. And here I am, having forgotten to bring the charger to work. Good thing I have a charger in my car. :)

    Missing Live Wallpaper (Ocean Wave)

    There's an update.zip for a port of the Galaxy-S live wallpapers here. That contains all the live wallpapers included on the international Galaxy-S. The only one missing from the Captivate is "Ocean Wave". Can someone more familiar with this sort of thing modify that zip to only include...

    Emails from AT&T's Android Site

    Has anybody here signed up to be notified by email about Android phones at Android Coming Soon | AT&T and actually gotten any emails? I signed up when the site went live originally, and never got a single email. I'm just wondering if my spam filter is getting it.

    Anyone care to suspend disbelief with me for a moment?

    Take a trip with me down the rabbit hole... What if, WHAT IF, AT&T has been sitting on announcing more Android phones because the next phone they're announcing features Froyo? There's still that HTC slider out there that nobody knows anything about. Absolutely nothing, which is strange in...

    AT&T's HTC Android Phone

    I was at my local Best Buy yesterday. The mobile sales people there claimed they saw an HTC Android phone for AT&T when their "rep" (I didn't gather if it was an AT&T sales rep or HTC or other) was at the store last week. They said it looked like "an upgraded Tilt with Android", and didn't...
