Anybody jumping ship to the S2 when it comes out?

If you are worried about Samsung reception,you should be VERY worried about HTC's reception. The Desire,WP7 and Hero S are all terrible in that dept. Many people having problems with reception. I have tested them all in a low reception area and the Electrify beats them all. The reception on my Touch Pro 2 was decent, HTC has gone downhill IMHO.

My HTC Desire has fairly good reception. I know Moto's reception is awesome but the performance annoys me and I really shouldn't have to root a phone in order for it not to lag.

Anyone jumping ship may want to wait a bit more, at least for a better sale. Listing at $329.99 on contract, which frankly, is ridiculous given the age of the handset.

Out of curiosity, where did you see that price? Sounds outrageous!

$229 after MIR, combined with the leaked rebate form showing it having a $100 rebate.

If your going to use the MHL Hdmi adapter for the S2 be careful, My daughters boyfriend's charging port is shot after 3 months. Dumb idea by Samsung not to put 2 separate ports in.

Couldn't agree more. HTC reception is crap. That said I do have the Hero S because I have an intense hatred of PenTile screens and just couldn't bring myself to get the Electrify. And I agree with the people on here saying that the Electrify seems laggy, or at least the one I've tried in the store was.

The screen on the Electrify is a qHD Pentile display... Colors at least to me seem washed out and there will be noticeable pixelation for you, since you're coming from the Mesmerize's Super Amoled display... At least there was for me when I upgraded... I ended up returning it and sticking with my Mesmerize.

Back in the day I could easily see pixelation on the Mesmerize, as it was a PenTile display, and despite the vivid colors provided by the Super AMOLED I just couldn't deal with it and got a Desire. Same situation happened with the Electrify and Hero S. Electrify is way better on paper, but it's PenTile screen is utterly horrid, retaining the pixellated look of the Mesmerize and losing the Mesmerize's vivid colors.

GS2 in white has popped up also. No idea if it'll have a higher price than the current $329 new, $349 renewal listing.
