If you look either from angles or when screen is white outdoors it has a horrible blue tint. That's S-AMOLED for you

mriley, I prefer the size and quality on the S II over the size and resolution on the iPhone 4, imo that one is pale 
bono, I have no blue tint on my screen, honestly

Your eyes have probably adjusted to it. But I see it when I compare the white screen next to my Play. It's the over saturated colours that makes it slightly blue tinted.

This rom has pretty good battery life.Battery on 1d 5h and I'm sitting on 36%.Been using the phone moderately, but still.There obviously will be days when you pound your phone and it wont even go a day but its nice to know if you're conservative it will get you through a day and a bit,easily.

@bono I agree, the SuperAMOLED screen is one thing made be avoid the S2. Yes it is bright and crisp but it lacks really any sort of colour, its just ugly! The colours are completely unnatural, I want my white to be white, not white with a tint of yellow/blue. On the other hand I use the arc with it's Reality display, and being completelu objective I much prefer this display. Yes it may not have the best viewing angles - but I only even look at it from straight on. But the best part is in the name, 'reality' and it does show true realistic colours of how the thing you're looking at would look in real life.
Another annoyance with the AMOLED is that it only looks 'decent' when the brightness it on a highish amount, turn it right down to save power, and it looses the qualities it had, the arc can go as low as it needs to, while retaining colour. Just my opinion, no doubt most of you will disagree.

Yes it is colourful but un naturally so & I do have trouble trying to work out how the photos in camera will look. I actually prefer the sharpness & clarity on my XPlay screen but whilst still looking less colourful than GS2 it's more natural. It's not a fault it's just the way S-AMOLED is. If you compare it next to a normal LCD with the whites you will notice

There are three different settings for the screen, Settings-Display-Screenmode Movie mode brings the most natural colors, at least to my eyes

Yep Bono, Rikkens right,maybe you need to put your phone on the Movie mode setting to get the more natural look.
Me,I don't get to nit picky about things like this.To me the screen is lovely.I'm to busy Modding the crap out of the phone
to worry about blue tinges on white in daylight (which I haven't noticed on my unit) but am now curious and will check tomorrow.
My rom has a kitchen pro app preinstalled which allows you to build up the rom to your liking.Its very clever because once you've downloaded
an item from the kitchen,when you choose to install,it reboots into Recovery and flashes it to your phone.Now that item is part of your rom.
Very clever indeed.
Its kinda allowing you to build your own rom.They have just provided you with a platform to start from.CheckROM RevoHD v4 is a great rom to have
started off with.Its given me a glimpse of the potential of this S2.Once I get a bit more educated about the S2 development,the skies the limit.
Its the dual core and 1gb of RAM that's makes enjoying this phone so much fun.You always feel that there is more power waiting to be unleashed.
That's why I have always gone custom over stock.Your eyes are opened as is your phone.
