This was a good value, a good size phone for me, and works better in the cold than my iphone did. In normal temperatures, it is slightly less reliable than my iphone was (taking in/out airplane mode sometimes needed to re-establish connectivity to a network) and slower (requires a LOT of patience and a lot of counting before I obsessively keep touching the screen), but a better value and more durable. I am very happy with it and love the swipe feature that is faster than typing. It also cost me nothing to get a new SIM card from TMobile when I switched over at the store.

Very erratic charging capability...obviously was traded in/sold because it's defective.. sometimes charges to 100% but more often than not will not charge at all or actually discharges when connected to a charger. This happened w/ the original battery and also with 2 new batteries and multiple chargers...So must assume the phone itself is defective. Have seen online this is a recurring problem w/ the Galaxy series.

OK, so the Galaxy S2 is old by Android phone standards, but I have had one since they were first released on T-Mobile as the T989. At that time, having MHL / Video output on the micro USB port was rare. The version of Android supplied was 2.3 I think. The phone has had Samsung released updates to Android 4.04 and for me it all works great. One of the best things is that this is one of the first handsets that supported WiFi calling - a great feature of T-Mobile that I would not be without. This version of the Galaxy S2 is solid, reliable, not too heavy or bulky, has all the latest features like WiFi Hotspot, a reasonable Android version, support for large SD cards, a good camera, and reasonable battery life. So, even though I have an HTC One M8, I just could noy be without my S2. Since you can pick up like new used ones for $100 or less, I did not hesitate to get a standby S2 when the power switch on my original S2 started to give a little trouble. This is a great phone.Read full review
very nice phone...good deal if you can get one for under 300. The Galaxy S2 is defined by Samsung and carriers with a two sentences: “ultra-powerful, ultra-thin, ultra brilliant” or “vidid, fast, slim”. It’s true that the Galaxy S2 is the best that Samsung has to offer today and benefits from improvements such as a dual-core application processor (also called system on a chip, or SoC), and large 4.3” Super AMOLED Plus display with a Gorilla glass. Additionally, everything has been integrated in a 8.49mm thin body that is very light (116g). The Samsung Galaxy S2 looks good, but does it live up to the legend in the real-world?
This is the best phone so far, or I have ever seen yet. However, I have to say two major downsides: 1. The battery life is tooooooooooooooooo short. With wifi and bluetooth on, it is good up to 12 hours when fully charged. If you do just the calling and nothing else (no internet, no bluetooth, etc), it holds up to 3 days when fully charged. This is awful for such an incredible system. I wish I could serve internet entire week and make 10 days calls via bluetooth on a single charge. That would be a non-replaceable phone ever. 2. I have 4-5 megabits speed on internet when I am on WIFI. It is like 1 megabit or less while on 4G sim card network. So, all the TV commercials, where they say "...It was so 17 seconds ago" are a great lie. If you are only on your 4G sim network, trying to open a web-page, you will have to wait at least 10 seconds. Imagine waiting 10-15 seconds while you are trying to log into your GMAIL or trying to refresh emails. That's is awful. When you are on Wifi, you wait 1-2 seconds to refresh web-page. Overall, this is the best phone I ever had so far, with all incredible functionality. However, don't pay crazy $600 for it. I bought mine for $278 on eBay. It was used 35 days only, no internal problems at all. It came with 2 minor side scratches and 3 minor dents on the sides (only felt while finger-sliding). I put a hard cover on it for $2.50 & all else was great. Bottom line, be smart not pay too much, smart phone encourages you to be smart.Read full review
