Verizonites.. who have been craving for an SGSII, would have bought this phone even if it ran on Gingerbread with touchwiz. I do think the design has a few things going for itself. Incredibly large screen, light weight and that 720p HD screen… makes the design a beauty.

Must have been beyond you if you knew it was released with 2.2 and still bought it anyways.

I agree about the lack of SD card slot, would like to see that, but  the 5MP camera doesn’t make one bit of a difference between that an 8 or even a 20MP camera if your prints are only the standard 4 x 6  the only time MP mean anything is if you plan on blowing them up for larger prints.    

for standard shots the quality depends on the quality of the camera and this one is supposed to be top notch.   the only differecnce in quality between a 5 and 8mp is the number  both are not ideal for larger and super large prints  and both are the perfect mp sized for standard and phone storage shots. 

as long as it’s 4 or over in MP then your fine for regualr shots. From there it all comes down to the quality of the camera and from what we here this is one of if not the best camera out there.

and to put salt on the wound.. they go ahead and announce a date in frigging UK! gee, thanks google.. I thought you were an American Company and this was your flagship device!!
