Having the S2 myself, I may be biased, but you will not loose anything by buying it. Its a very very good phone. Speed, quality, feel, built solid, yet tall large screen, very good for browising. The battery life surprisingly lasts really long, and I usually am on my phone anywhere from 10-15 hours a day. calling, texting, e-mailing, internet browising, music, and still had about 1/4 battery when I get home. Pretty nice.
