Sprint SII...The NEW 4.5" with 1.5ghz Processor?

[machjuan#AC]

Check Samsungs website for the drivers if you're doing a cabled (USB) tether.

No notification light? I would much rather have a notification light than a camera button. Does one need to be checking their phone all the time or is there a way to be notified, like a beep or something?

Notifications (sound) have been on every android phone I've owned.....and even on my BB phones.

I never figured out how to see those silly blinking lights in my pocket or a holster

Does anyone know if LTE is integrated on the Celox SOC? If that is the case then they could put it in on Sprints version and disable it in the firmware. WiMax is its own chip so theoretically we could have a dual mode LTE-WiMax phone. When Sprints LTE network is in place firmware upgrade and bam! LTE phone.

I know it's not going to happen but its always good to hope.

Right but in an office enviornment I can keep my phone on silent and a notification light lets me know I need to check my phone without stopping what I'm doing to pick it up.

A notification beep gets complaints from my coworkers and manager.

I can't beleive how much I miss my notification led on my Hero.

There is an app on the market called noled, which is designed for the Samsung phones with no notification light.

Bigger Screen. Think they'll up the resolution too? I'm thinking the 800 x 480, even with special sub pixels, or whatever, will be a bit pixely...


Edit: Never mind. I got my own hopes up. According to the "revamped" GS2 LTE, it's a 4.5" screen, but still just WVGA resolution. Stink!

With Rogers getting the new s2 lte at the end of september I would almost put money on the new ones we are getting here in the states today will be the new specs. I highly doubt that they are just starting the new line for the us with 1.2 processors and canada will get 1.4-5 ones a couple weeks later.

I'd really like to agree with you, but I just can't. Sprint's GSII has been in pre-production testing since June. The images look exactly like the leaked test photo from the middle of July, and it cleared the FCC just over a month ago. Sadly, all of this tells me Sprint's GSII will have the original specs.

This is the downside of US carriers demanding personalized variants. It delays releases and inevitably leads to being behind the technology curve. Like Bell Canada, Rogers will likely be releasing the International hardware, which allows them to stay ahead of the curve and release devices with more current specs.

 

[madkaw]

Well so much for the updates specs, I will be buying it anyway. Front page of AC has the info.

The Rogers galaxy 2 is gsm. They will always be a few months ahead cdma versions just because they are easier to sell/market.

Love the screen size.....as long as it looks good if it's still a 400 x 800 screen.

1.2 is plenty fast enough for me since I don't game.

 

[Slingbox]

I was turned off by 4.5 screen size a couple week ago but I can live with it.
I'm also content with 1.2 ghz.....as long as its Exynos.
If it is S2 will be mine with a big smile.

 

[sndplace]

Yea can't wait till 6pm . will be at the live blog at 6pm http://www.androidcentral.com/samsung-us-galaxy-s-ii-liveblog and Hoping it has the Exynos. Also so many people complain about Sammy and its cheap phones with their slow updates but they are still rated #1 why is that. has to be for a reason. http://www.androidcentral.com/comscore-data-confirms-android-samsung-remain-kings-smartphone-market

Yup I'm with you. I'm confident it'll pack a Exynos inside, and the screen size never bothered me. Still, I have to hold the thing in my hands, stick it in my pocket, and fondle it lovingly to see if it purrs before I make a final decision.

This device will make me seriously consider jumping ship to Sprint. Gonna see what Verizon does to make up for not getting the GS2. But, those on Sprint are gonna be happy campers!
