3 simple things really the UI, Audio & Camera.
Yes, its massively quick and the screen is stunning but the 3 little things changed my mind.
The Arc also feels much better in your hand IMO.

The UI really? I thought Touchwiz wasn't too bad and was a bit better than the vanilla SE interface which has far less customisation like Samsung and HTC.
What was wrong with the camera on the SGS2? |

The Arc has a better camera, images seem more natural and sharper. Low light shots are much better on the Arc, I guess thats down to the sensor.
In terms of the UI, its just the silly little thing of aesthetics. As a example the dialer on the SGS2 is just a visual eye saw same with phone book etc..... The best way to sum it up I think is, it looks like it has been designed by a 3 year old.
I'll give it a few more days, but its the little things which are bugging me already.
Do you know what I mean?

Meh, I have no chance to play with GS2 yet, but this weekend it have mobile expo event so I could have some hands-on demo unit
Look from video review so far, I'm quite impressive about how they work and customize their Touchwiz 4 (only this time is positive, all previous are sluggish and I didn't even eyes for it)
About audio I recently read from some blog, that GS2 equipped with Yamaha sound chipset, not Wolfson like original GS maybe reflect on this but GSMArena review is very positive (quite positive for SS I feel somehow)
Camera result is also received very well feedback from any major review sites as well, but I do love the way  works on camera UI
But I love to hear from real life experience and hand on like you, thanks for sharing 
BTW, little bit about price tag over here is crazy now, can you believe it?
HTC Sensation LG Optimus 3D and this GS2 are all available for less than 620USD
Sim free though but the bad is only pre-order and schedule to (quickest) release is up to mid-July
While the Arc is currently highest tag around 660USD, personally not made up my mind
until Christmas or probably next CES (to see what offer us after the Arc or better grab at bargain)
I have learnt from Satio that you shouldn't buy when it only two weeks released  This time about a year

@elnitrox
I don't think Dubai have the official market app they have their own variation market app. This is to do with an incompatibility of Google policy and UAE law I believe. This is probably why you can't anything from the android market website.
Your choices are:
- Get the android market apk file and manually install it - this has worked for other models with older versions of the market, not sure about the newest and you may need to root your device to do this
- Flash a firmware from a different region - I believe all the different region firmwares from Sony Ericsson have all the language options pre-installed so you don't have to worry about losing Arabic options
I can give you more full step by step instructions if you need them.
I have a dig bick

Has anyone else noticed since the update that the big digital clock widget does not loose time now, as opposed to before, when say for instance you were spending sometime on the internet, and then when you go back to the homescreen it could be a few minutes out, depending how long you were on the net.

Hello, sorry for my english but a have the GS2 now (i still have the arc), Ok for the IU (it's a question of taste) but it's faster for everything, everywhere than arc !
The camera is better than arc too, more sharp, less noise. The only thing is the colour of arc's camera is more warm/eye candy.
I'm not a great fan of Samsung but i must admit it is better than arc for everything except for the look, arc is better design for sure ! |
