In the beginning, there was a galaxy full of Android devices, and the great Google saw that it was good... But then, Samsung must have seen the same galaxy and thought they could do better. Fresh off the modest success of the first Galaxy S lines in 2010, Samsung's S II series serves not to follow on its predecessor's coattails, but to blaze its own trails. That's exactly what it did in its heyday, with the versatile Android 2.3 "Gingerbread" OS where even the cheap models were stuck with Eclair or FroYo. Even better, the series would be supported through Jelly Bean. This particular model was first among three for AT&T's network, I bought the I777 as a replacement for a friend's well-aged Android. Unfortunately, mine had a nasty flaw with the radio that hampered service. This resulted in calls being voided before reaching the intended destination. This flaw would also strike the I727 "Skyrocket" that followed. If one should be so lucky as to dodge the above, the device responds crisply and without much hesitation. Texting is fast and fluid, and the included apps will help you keep your busy life managed within reach. What's more, you have a solid line to scores of apps on Google Play if you can't find what you need on board. All in all, this phone is a good starting point for Android newbies, thanks to the iPhone-like TouchWiz UI and its current entry price in 2014. The last word: 4 stars for Samsung and its solid entry-level device.Read full review
I bought this cellphone as a present to my daughter on her 17th birthday, she was asking for an iPhone but I couldn't afford it, beside, I use to have the iPhone before and I didn't like the complicity of Apple products in general and specially the iTunes thing and the synchronizing process each time you plug your phone to the computer, so it was a chance to try the Android and compare between them. The most thing I like about this Galxy is the simplicity in comparing with the iPhone, all you have to do is plug it to the computer and use it as an external memory. There is really nothing that I don't like about it, it's almost perfect, maybe the cover is not stylish as the iPhone. My other daughter thinking about upgrading her cell phone and she's thinking seriously about the iPhone !!! but I don't know what she's gonna say when she's gonna see the Galaxy.Read full review
I bought this particular model (there are AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile and international versions available) to work with Straight Talk wireless. It was advertised as "unlocked", which it was. I can report that it works flawlessly with a Straight Talk SIM. I was also able to install the "leaked" ICS ROM without issues. (The official ICS update is due shortly and it appears that it will be downloadable in the same ways as the carrier-sold phones.) Although the Galaxy S III has just come to market, this phone suits my needs at a considerably reduced cost, given the high-speed data limitations of most affordable phone plans. It lacks the 4G-LTE capabilities which will use an entire month's download capacity in mere minutes, if and where 4G is available. Plain 4G is more than adequate for my needs, but even this older technology seems to be limited in availability. As with all Android phones, the ability to customize virtually everything comes at the cost of some added complexity. As I had considerable prior experience with Android, this was not an issue with me. I should also note that using your own phone with a carrier which so allows can be very cost saving, but not for the inexperienced and faint at heart, as you'll find yourself to be on your own.Read full review
only con is battery life but its not that bad, but overall its a great phone to invest your money in. Fast dual core processor is all u need, nice features, gorilla glass scratch resistant screen, and amazing video and camera captures, and sexy slim design. If i were you id just buy a Samsung galaxy s2 for now and wait for the s4 to come out instead of buying the s3 coming out in a few months... just saying..so far the s3 feature improvements to me isn't really worth it...
