Mine's on it's way!

Was tempted for the Xperia Arc - but the performance of the S2 swung it.

probably a daft thing to mention to you, but the arc would need rooting asap, the sony erricsson ui over the android build is buggy as hell and they crash all the time, ive had 3 back in a week!


iphone 5 is out september ish!

maybe not so daft, lol, rooting give you a better rom (os install), they are usually trimmed down and lack all the bloatware the networks force on customers, they are usually faster, give better battery life and have loads of little tweaks that make life easier.



who needs orange world on their phone, same goes for timescape and mediascape, useless poorly written apps that slow stuff down for no reason other than to provide revenue for the carrier!

Did you get the S2? I'm still toying with the idea of this or the iPhone 5.

-------

Edited to say I found the S2 quite large and my current mobile suddenly developed a few problems so I went down the route of the white iPhone 4 instead.

God, I feel like I'm in a foreign country reading all the posts on this thread! I haven't got a feckin' clue what you're all on about!

I recently bought an Xperia Minipro 10, and I hate it! Maybe I should have gone for the Samsung Galaxy Ace.

ok go into settings - you can set speed warnings 70mph or 155 or whatever you fancy it will bleep if you go over - if you set run in the background it logs your trip ,distance tp speed etc select hud display then go to user defined primary text colour box - open it and pick your colour - then just play about with it i liked the blue - matches my pod instruments

brilliant bit of kit a complete gadget great fun
